A Pal for Gary
The episode starts at SpongeBob's house, where he is feeding Gary. Afterward, he has to leave for work, but Gary wants to go for a walk. SpongeBob tells him that he does not have time to give him one and sadly walks away to work but realizes that Gary is using his leash as a lasso to get snacks while he watches a cowboy show. As he goes to the Krusty Krab, he comments on how Gary is able to entertain himself when he’s alone.
At the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob hears a news report about an unknown monster abducting pets when their owners aren’t home, causing SpongeBob to panic.
As SpongeBob gets off work at night, Mr. Krabs tells him that he needs help with loading coal out of the parking lot, but SpongeBob cannot help as he has to get back to Gary at home. Mr. Krabs lets him off the hook so long as he comes in work five hours earlier the following day to help with the parking lot. As SpongeBob is walking home, he notices a truck selling Puffy Fluffs, which catch his attention due to their

The pre-selected tags feature for suggesting tags on your art has received several accuracy improvements over the past few months. However, some deviants voiced a preference for complete control over their tags.
Now you can opt-out of pre-selected tags when you have your own preset tags. Simply go to your Studio, select “Presets,” and toggle off “Automatically add tags suggested by the system.” This option will appear when you have your own preset tags selected. Deviants with multiple presets can configure each one individually depending on their needs.
Suggested tags will still show up on the interface — with improved accuracy -- but they won’t be automatically applied.

Seller Tips for Halloween by team, journal
Seller Tips for Halloween
The spooky season is still some time away, but when it comes to selling your art and reaching your audience, it’s worth it to plan ahead. Deviants look for Halloween-related art as early as September, so if you’re looking for ideas for what to sell, add this journal to your favorites and get started!
General Tips
Decorate your profile:
Prepare your profile for Halloween with festive Profile Skins and Custom Sections, and be sure to highlight your Halloween-related art for sale front and center so deviants see them when visiting your page.
# Use relevant tags:
Include the tag “halloween” on your deviations when selling your art, as it helps with discovery!
Be sure to add specific, relevant tags based on what you’re selling. Depending on what your art features, you can include tags like adopt, base, spider, candy, monster. witch, werewolf, ghost, vampire, blood, or zombie.
Collaborate with other artists:
Working with another artist is a great way to connect creatively, and it’s

A Beginners Guide to Customizing Your Profile
Learn easy ways to customize your profile!
Do you want to customize your profile on DeviantArt? Whether you’re trying to personalize your space for the first time or have been decorating your profile for years, here are some tips and tricks to make your profile feel like home.
Theme Is Everything
To start personalizing your Profile, first come up with an idea for the overall vibe you want it to have. This can range from simply selecting a color palette based on colors you like (or artwork in your Gallery) to deciding what backgrounds you want to use to add interesting elements to your Profile. Go with whatever suits your vision!
How to Customize
Add a Cover Image
Adding a Profile cover image is a great starting point for all deviants, and it’s easy to do!
When creating a cover image for your Profile, the recommended dimensions are 1600 pixels by 800 pixels and 1920x1080 resolution at minimum, so the image fits well and appears clearly for all viewers.

Lost in time by TigerEgern, literature
Literature
Lost in time
Father Cronos, lost in time
Secluded in his dwindling fortress
Patiently awaits the end of time
Father Cronos, lost for words
Mourns the fate of innocence
And all the children of the war
Father Cronos, lost and found
Remembers days of joyous songs
And once more winds his clock
Father Cronos, lost in thoughts
Brushes off the dust and grime
From wheels and pegs and springs
Father Cronos, lost at sea
Has found his bearings yet again
In the corner of his heart.

Literature
Incomplete Mind
East side of the river
My body is buried with no filters
Holding life in my palms
Pain scrolled on my arms
Writers blocked
Chained down and locked
Walk me to the alter, where souls come to die
I'm a burden, to my blood and friends
I'm killing you all
I don't deserve friendships or to be alive
I lay in my bed still
Crying, remembering the beatings and guilt
I wanted to kill them all
That would've been my gift
Creeping through the night
One by one, throats slit
I'll hold in my rage
Forgetting and washing memories away
To coexist with these humans
Erasing everything to my name
I've craved revenge
My conscience and morals get in my way
Why can't I murder them
Covered in their blood as I slay
