The previous post got me to try my hand at some Science®. Please note this knowledge applies only to the Bluesky censor-bot, your robot's arousal level may vary.

So, the following very scientific picture was auto-tagged as "Non-sexual Nudity":

This second experiment was also picked up by the purity-bot:

While I theorized that perhaps it was the raunchy rectangles that were being flagged, this proved to be incorrect as the next tests was negative:

My suspicion that the robot was looking for Vagina Bones also turned out to be erroneous:

However! When knees were re-introduced into the test, suddenly, the machine manifested and tagged the image as Non-sexual Nudity once more:

A workable theory began to take form, as censoring the knees did not wake the nudist-huntbot, suggesting that perhaps its nakedness sensor may be patella-based:

In further testing this theory I realized I'd unknowingly introduced too many variables (the previous test had sparkles! Sparkles!):

This came up negative, but I cannot be certain as to why. At this point it was clear my scientific method was lacking and I do not have the chops/patience for true evidence-based sciencing.

Before abandoning this study that would most certainly not pass peer-review, I conducted one final test:

Yes, it appears drawings with the evil hand do not trigger the abstinent algorithm. I believe artwork will be safe from automated suppression as long as only the evil hand is involved, though more rigorous testing is needed to be absolutely sure.

Anyway science is hard and robots are basically all science, even the ones who do nothing but look for potential nipples, so we should fear their inscrutable ways because you never know what other body parts they may take scientific offense to.

The fairy with her garden gnome

Imagine with me if you will...

A hero who has no secret identity. They are assigned a new civilian identity every few weeks by the hero agency. This is for security and safety. As soon as a villain thinks they've figured out Hero's civilian identity, that name and the person associated with it has forever faded into the shadows. Hero is a ghost and a shape-shifter, never remaining one person for very long. It gets to the point that Hero struggles to remember their own name. Oh, silly them, they don't have a name. Their name is "Hero", and any other name was given up when they joined the agency.

Should I write this???

Edit: guys feel free to use this as a prompt, maybe we could all write something with this trope!

I was asked by a friend yesterday if I could offer basic tips about comic paneling. As it turns out, I have a lot to say on the matter! I tried breaking down the art of paneling using the principles of art and design, and I hope it helps you out!

EDIT: uh uh there are a lot of people reblogging this, so i figure i may as well append this now while i can lol

This whole thing was very much cranked out in a few hours so I had a visual to talk about with a friend! If this gives you a base understanding of paneling, that's awesome! Continue to pull in studies from the comics you see and what other artists do well and don't do well! You can tell paneling is doing well when the action is flowing around in its intended reading format.

Here's the link to the globalcomix article from which I pulled the images about panel staggering! Someone sent in a reblog that it wasn't totally clear that the 7th slide mostly covers what NOT to do in regards to staggering, and that is my mistake!

I saw in a tag that someone was surprised I used MamaYuyu too, and I don't blame them lol. If I had given myself more than a couple hours maybe I would have added something else on, I just really admire MamaYuyu's paneling personally.

uh uh, final append: I am by no means a renowned master of paneling, so if you find anything off base here, by all means, counter it with your own knowledge and ways you can build upon from here! Art is always a sum knowledge of everything we find. 💪
