unhinged-mod replied to your post:I had to use a false transparency effect on that…
depending on what art program you use, you should just be able to delete the background itself and save it as a .png
Photoshop Elements 11, and I tried that. I had the picture saved without a background everywhere where it is dashboard blue, and it would always appear with a white background.
I wonder how popular the idea would be if I were to offer ‘cowening’ mini-commissions or requests…
I had to use a false transparency effect on that Raricow update, so if anyone knows how to properly make transparent background .pngs, I’d love to know.
It can be difficult figuring out how aspects of different canons, worlds and universes could work out. Case in point: How Raricow’s magic milk (the cowening) could effect changelings from Papillon’s Hive:
[The magic in the milk is tied to the milk, but not affected by its digestion so much as it is its consumption. With a changeling’s hyperactive metabolism a changeling would be likely to consume a large amount of milk without intending to, so I suppose the magic would hit them just as hard as any other. So, cow-bug-horses. That being said, changelings, being insect-like, do not have natural mammary glands and don’t produce milk in their natural state. So, the cowening could cause mammaries to develop to a smaller degree than in other subjects, or it could just cause them to change their proportions in the appropriate areas. How much that would affect them, and the permanence of the effect is difficult to say due to their shapeshifting nature.
As I said, different canons and ones that have some slightly conflicting aspects. A changeling’s shapeshifting could allow them to revert back to their preferred form and make it permanent, thereby nullifying the cowening, or the magic could overtake their base form, leaving them part cow.
I may need to consider mixing the two blogs together at some point, probably for some well timed joint milestone, if that happens.
I want to work on, and ideally put out, a Raricow update today, but I’m torn on what to do. A dashboard gag involving AJ punching through the dashboard and hiatus, or just go on with the story…
Fickle was spending another morning in her lab doing experiments and just generally blowing things up because she could and got paid to do it. Seeing as how Science didn’t wait for breakfast to be had, Fickle decided to just drink a bottle of milk and eat some apples. The milk tasted the same as always so Fickle didn’t think twice before downing half the bottle. Suddenly her belly started to grumble. Fickle was perplexed but before she could react, several things happened at once. Fist off, her body nearly tripled in mass, causing her stool to break and her clothes to rip. Secondly, her breasts began to swell while an udder formed upon her belly. Thirdly, white patches began to show up all over her gray coat. And lastly her muzzle, ears, and digits all became bovine like in appearance as two horns sprouted atop her head. as Fickle sat upon the floor dazed with a sore hiney, all she could think was “I need to hurry up and write this down before getting more of that milk!”

OMG! Thank you so much ask-raricow!! This is exactly what I had in mind!
Yes, study well, Ficow Aura.
ladies and gentlemen, the american education system
My school apparently ran out of toilet paper a few weeks ago and my Spanish teacher was telling the girls to keep a roll in their purses and the guys to keep a roll in our backpacks. North American Education system.
this is basically any public school in the world tbh
bet the football teams have new equiptment though
Whoop there it is
No I’m not even kidding I bet my life that there is equipment and a well managed field for the football team. Probably a good baseball and basketball team for guys. Other sports not so much.
This is NOT any public schooling system in the world! Australian public schools do not have this problem! How the fuck does a school not afford basic bathroom amenities?! If that happened here there would be an immediate school funding revision campaign! I assume you guys are joking about the football teams because there’s no way overblown American sports movies are real. Does your government just… not fund schools?
A running joke in my high school is “…but we can’t afford paper!” because a few years ago, my entire school system had us recycling each and every scrap and refusing to pay to get teachers copier paper. We were all asked to bring in our own paper, because school just wasn’t going to provide paper anything. Ironically, same year the football field was renovated.
That…
That can’t possibly be right.
My high school had chunks of the ceiling falling down periodically, because of water and mold damage. I remember being in the gym for basketball practice and a huge grate fell down and scared the crap out of us. No one was ever hurt, and the state health department declared the levels of mold to be “not immediately dangerous” and so it was left alone.
They once had to close down an entire section of hallway and stairs because one year, the toilets flooded on the second floor and soaked into the ceiling and walls. The next year, a chunk of ceiling fell out right below that, and the toxic variety of black mold was found. Again, the levels were “not dangerous” so they blocked off the area for a few weeks (making it impossible to get to class on time) until it was “cleaned up”. There were no windows, because when the school was built it was right next to an international airport (that has since moved) and the noise was too much at the time. So in order to keep the air flowing, they pumped air conditioning year round, including winter.
And yes- the football field was in fact completely renovated before the buildings were even touched. 5 years prior to the original start date of high school building renovations. Also, while the football field was built with out a single hiccup, the school renovation was actually stopped after it started and halted for 4 years because the town didn’t want to spend the money on it. People argued that taxes shouldn’t be raised for that since they felt the buildings were fine as they were. Welcome to American public schools.WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOUR SCHOOL SYSTEM??

No, we live in America, which is only regularly synonymous.
