I AM FINALLY DOING COMMISSIONS FOR MY WRITING!

I've been wanting to do this for a while now, and I've just recently gotten into a place in my life where I can actually do it, so it starts now!

I will have 3 slots for commissions open at any given time. I might add more slots in the future if I think I can handle it, but for now I'm only doing 3 to avoid over working myself

For pricing, it will start at 20 USD for 1,000 words(+2 USD for every 100 words, so 1,100 = 22$, 1,500 = 30$, 2,000 = 40$ etc.) I will write no less then 1,000 words because life is expensive, and I need money for bills and groceries -w- To avoid overworking myself, I also won't write more than 10,000 words(for reference, the average novel is approximately 75,000 words). You can request a certain number of words for a set price, or you can let me write however many words is necessary for the prompt I've been given, and find out the end price once the product is finished.

How you will receive your commission can be discussed in DM's(please bear in mind that I'm a bit technology inept, and that I can't afford certain writing programs, so options for receiving commissions may be limited - I'm willing to at least experiment with certain programs if necessary :>)

I will write just about anything, but NSFW mustt be thoroughly discussed beforehand, and I might not accept NSFW commissions if I'm not comfortable with the prompt, or if you're bellow the age of 18. I'm also predominantly a queer writer, so some prompts for Straight romance/NSFW may not be accepted depending on how comfortable I am writing it

For payment, I currently have Chime( $Ari-the-Arotistic ), Cash App( https://cash.app/$AriKishibe ), and Venmo( https://venmo.com/u/Ari_Kishibe ). I may branch out to other places like Kofi or Patreon in the future, but for now, these are where I will be accepting payments. To avoid complications, I will not be accepting early payments. When the commission is finished, I will let you know so that you can pay, and then receive the commission right after. I will try my best to have each commission done within 2 weeks, but life gets busy sometimes, and I might not always finish a commission within that time. I will notify you if something comes up that will delay your commission.

DO NOT SELL OR PUBLISH MY WORK UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!! If I find out that my work is being sold or published without my permission, even if credit is being given, I am fully prepared to take legal action. While you may be paying for the commission, it is still my intellectual property, and I do not want any commission work to be sold or published under any circumstances.

Thank you for reading through my commission rules! Don't be afraid to DM me or send me an ask if you have any questions! Ciao!

Commission Slot 1: Open

Commission Slot 2: Open

Commission Slot 3: Open

Regularly making myself sad by thinking about non-ascension Bloodweave and Astarion only having Gale with him for the blink of an eye in his long life

[ari-the-arotistic]

No hate to you op, but constantly seeing this all the time in the bloodweave fandom makes me irrationally angry because it's like you guys have never seen a wizard before or something, because wizards having a really long lifespan is the most common thing ever, and is in pretty much all wizard media, including dnd which Bg3 is based off of 😭 Gale can live far longer then just a few centuries with Astarion, and seeing the majority of the bloodweave fandom just not know or actively ignore that hurts my heart as a certified wizard enjoyer, like PLEASE GUYS WIZARDS LIVE A REALLY LONG TIME, BEING A HUMAN DOESN'T MEAN GALE IS GOING TO DIE SUPER QUICKLY, PLEASE IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO ME THAT YOU KNOW THIS!!!

Viktor definitely bought a ring two weeks into dating Jayce, but kept it a secret, and had to go to great lengths to keep it hidden when they moved in together two years later.

[ari-the-arotistic]

Jayce bought a ring week one and had to do the same thing. They end up trying to propose at the same time and giggled about it all night

KICK THE CAN!

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.

[visibun]

the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now

[drtanner]

And yet somehow this is my first time kicking it!

getting scambot messages from random accounts that clearly used to be normal active blogs is sad enough. you know that there used to be a real person on that blog until they were tricked into handing their password to the digital fae.

but it's an entirely new level of tragic when somebody you've actually spoken to gets turned into a bot account. it's like peeking at a zombie apocalypse through the window and realizing one of the shambling corpses was your friend.

and then the zombie catches sight of you, lurches up to your window, and shouts through the glass that they accidentally reported your account to tumblr and you'll be deactivated unless you click this link.

RIP to the blog that used to DM me to tell me they liked my new chapters. Their last known words spoken before being turned, 17 hours ago: "Ggs!" They were praising someone's deadlift.

[ckret2]

the message they tried to get me with is probably the same message that got them, so for anybody who hasn't already been warned about the signs of a zombie account:

if you get something like this ↑ they're gonna follow up by instructing you to contact tumblr support on discord and give you contact info; or they're gonna link a website that looks sort of like tumblr support and say you have to email them; or any variety of "you must now contact tumblr, here is how you contact tumblr."

whatever they send you, it Does Not lead to tumblr. it leads to the master zombie that bit them and inducted them into the ranks of the undead, and will bite you the second they have your email and password. i might be confusing zombies and vampires. anyway,

it's easier to fall for these messages because the blog doesn't LOOK like a bot blog, because it ISN'T a bot blog. it's a normal person's blog that got accessed by a bot, meaning the blog's content CLEARLY looks like a real active user when you click on it. and yes—it might even be a blog you already know. sometimes bots like this go down a blog's DMs or reblogs and message people they've previously interacted with.

they got one of my treasured followers, and they can get you too. don't fall for their tricks. know the signs.

Hey artists, C. Spike Trotman, founder of Iron Circus Comics, just posted an invaluable thread on depicting different types of black hair. I’d do the thing where you screencap the whole thread and post it but it’s just too long (which is great because it’s a whole lot of useful information!) Give her a follow while you’re there.

Anyway, go check it out. I just wanted to save it and share it because I didn’t know how much I didn’t know!

[misslunarose]

This is an amazing resource, not only for artists, but for writers too! I love this!

{ID - tweet from @/Iron_Spike that reads, “Black Hair for Non-Black Artists: a Cheat Sheet Thread. Hi, folks! Just spur-of-the-moment decided to put together some reference for folks who want to draw/model black characters in their work, but arent confident they won’t make simple, obvious mistakes w/r/t black hair. END ID}

[obi-mom-kenobi]

I noticed in the comments that some people can’t see the thread, so I took screenshots for y'all!

More will come in reblogs, since tumblr has an image limit

reblog if you’re anti censorship and against harassing real people over fictional characters

[veilthycanis]

“bloodweave” this and “bloodweave” that but nobody talks enough about the fact that the dynamic between Astarion and Gale is literally just:

— gale trying to explain some ancient weave theory while astarion lounges across furniture like an overfed cat, interrupting every five minutes with “you’re very pretty when you’re pretentious, you know.”

— astarion pretending he doesn’t care about magic until gale casually lights candles with a flick of his wrist and suddenly astarion is staring at him like he personally hung the stars over waterdeep.

— gale being one of the first people to compliment astarion in ways that aren’t transactional. not “beautiful,” not “seductive,” but clever. funny. observant. things attached to personhood instead of performance.

— astarion absolutely abusing prestidigitation once he learns what it can do. gale walks into camp and all his wine has been chilled perfectly and there are dramatic rose petals everywhere and astarion’s sitting there acting like he has no idea how it happened.

— gale reading aloud at night because astarion likes the sound of his voice even when he claims the books are “terminally boring.”

— astarion stealing gale’s clothes specifically because they smell like parchment, cedar, and expensive spell components.

— the first time gale sees astarion genuinely, uncontrollably laugh, he forgets what he was saying mid-sentence because he’s too busy staring.

— gale, who spent years loving a goddess who felt unreachable, falling disastrously hard for someone painfully real and sharp-edged and frightened.

— astarion acting smug whenever gale gets flustered, only to completely short-circuit the second gale starts flirting back intentionally.

“careful, my dear,” gale murmurs, leaning close enough for candlelight to catch in his earring, “you do realize wizards are capable of learning patterns.”

and astarion just. visibly bluescreens.

— they would either spend the entire evening making out dramatically over a study desk or arguing over semantics for three hours straight. sometimes both simultaneously.

— gale kissing astarion’s hands like they belong to something holy.

— astarion, who spent centuries being consumed, discovering what it feels like to be adored. slowly. reverently. without expectation.

together they become absolutely insufferable in the most romantic way imaginable.

NOTICE FOR PSYCHOTIC PEOPLES LIKE ME AND THE NEW TOMODACHI LIFE: Please please pretty pretty please be careful while playing Living the Dream, esp if you’re currently unmedicated!!!

The game treats the Miis like they’re real people and makes zero mention ever that they are not, and only ever refers to them and their POV as if they are real and you are their caretaker! While playing this honestly messed with my head pretty badly at times and made me worry a lot on if I was hurting real people/not doing enough for real people while I was playing!

I cannot imagine how much worse this would be for someone who’s unmedicated, non-dormant, or experiencing breakthrough symptoms! Do please be careful and PLEASE remember to have a way to reality check yourself while playing the game!!!

Also: If you’re not psychotic, please reblog this anyway!!! It may not seem like a big deal to you but these kinds of things are REALLY important to know for us psychotic folk in a world that is both hostile and negligent to us and our needs!!!

[69brunito69]

i have a big problem with these guys

yea that’s all i have to say

[doggydogchamp]

I genuinely am unable to come up with a caption for this due to the absurdity of the comic by itself

I don’t even wanna look at this anymore

[ari-the-arotistic]

I think the thing I truly find the funniest about this is that POTC takes place during the golden age of piracy, so roughly 1680's to 1720's, and the American revolution happened in the 1770's, so Jack and James would be significantly older then the two George's 😂

[ari-the-arotistic]

@peg-the-empire made a Norribeth version of this, and it inspired me, so here's a Sparrington version I threw together in canva

[ellena-asg]

So, in the CotBP we have this scene where Jack finally can kill Barbossa & the gang and he's like "James, let's kill them together". And ah it's so romantic cause this is very Big Day for Jack Sparrow and this is Jack's revenge on Barbossa but ohh Jack wants to share this moment with his favourite man. And he lets James to hurt Barbossa and other betrayers. And they share hatred for them. And they're sitting in this damn cute boat and are scheming together. And it's so beautiful. What's more beautiful? Right? What's more...

You know what? The fucking early script 😭😭😭

This scene was longer:

"The chart I drew up will get you past the reefs" 🥹 "You'll be free to blow holy high heaven the whole lot of them" 🥹

And look at this:

James and his "You would do that?" 🥹 And oh my gosh Jack sharing his personal story with him, telling him "They all hurt me, they hurt my mind, they wanted me to die in agony. You feel my pain?". I'm not well, I'm not well 😭

Also:

The plan was: Barbossa ambushed, Jamie safe. Look at him, look at this fear. "Oopsie daisies, it's not what... FUCK. Norrie!!! Oh no, my Norrie".

[ari-the-arotistic]

This script is going to be the death of me, WHY ARE THEY SO CUTE AND IN LOVE, WE WERE ROBBED 😭
