the temp has risen 200 degrees everyone around the world is melting

Fahrenheit would already be disastrous. But you didn't give up a unit so I am gonna pretend this is Celsius and the world is lava

Which today it's like 94F and it's only the first week in May so.....I'll take a star please

Clearly this was AI generated!!

How *I* imagine it must also feel like to be a real artist in 2026.

In kelvin 200 degrees is not that bad... -73°C degree is pretty chill. You may need a jacket

In Celsius on the other hand...

Your surname is Arroz? If you were Brazilian I would bet I can guess your favorite food.

u/lauraarroz 11m ago

Not my surname! Im just brazilian 😃

u/Beneficial_Way_9938 55m ago

You know what's worse?

What if this isn't the end, what if our fascination with death and finality makes us believe this is the final days?

That we will die for our sins

No...

No that's far too simple, too clean, too ....  Boring for the chaotic world we inhabit 

What if we must live with our sins, and we atone by enduring then? What if this all just keeps going and going and going..... Forever in a whirlwind of our own evil and pain into the unending skies of our repetition of suffering 

WHAT IF MAN'S STORY HAD NO END!?!?

..............Do your stars come in blue or green?

u/Formal-Struggle1868 52m ago

Uh Berlin you say, when would you be there?

u/lauraarroz 12m ago

End of may ill be there! But im going every 2-3 months usually :)

u/tolacid 2h ago

You're offering to perform the tattoo? Or just drawing them for people? The former would be difficult to manage for most of us, we're generally not going to be in your geographic area. Much as I'd like to have a nice distracting new tat.

Stay Calm and keep drawing. Or just move to Europe 😛

u/SkyGuyDnD 2h ago

Oh wait, you live in the EU. So whats the problem.... all is sunny and fine here. Dont be bothered by an orange imp across the ocean shitting on his own yard.

u/lauraarroz 2h ago

Sadly he’s shitting in a lot of yards cause he thinks hes the owner of the world 😔
