I’VE RECENTLY BEGUN DOING ICON COMMISSIONS, as a way to bring in some money while i am unable to get a job. i currently offer commissions for icons, dash icons, headers, promos, and playlists. even if you are unable to commission me, i would much appreciate giving this post a quick reblog, so that i can get the word out some more. thank you ! all information, including pricing, can be found on my commissions page !
VASILYEVNA’S ICON COMMISSIONS.
as i’m pretty short on money at the moment and really need to be bringing in some, i decided it’s a good idea to start doing icon commissions. i’ve put some examples of my icons above in the style i’ve been using for my most recent blogs, but i am 100 % willing to change size, shape, psd, or anything else for each person who requests something. i’m also willing to make dash icons, mobile headers, and promos.
PRICES.
- icon psd: $ 2 - 10 icons: $ 2 - 20 icons: $ 4 - 50 icons: $ 8 - 100 icons: $ 12 - 150 icons: $ 20 - 200 icons: $ 28 - 300 icons: $ 36 - dash icon: $ 1 - mobile header: $ 2 - promo: $ 4
anything not on that list can be discussed further. i really appreciate anyone willing to help me out and commission me. thanks guys ! 💕 feel free to ask any questions about this. even if you aren’t able to purchase anything, giving this post a reblog would really help me out. thanks !
feeling especially generous ? you can also donate to my paypal !
I’VE ADDED A COMMISSION PAGE TO MY BLOG FOR THOSE WHO’D LIKE TO COMMISSION ME.
& THE VIOLENCE OF FREEDOM !
❝ MOVE US ? ❞ rounded syllables find themselves steeped in incredulity, as if the reality of anyone beyond her existence was baseless & frankly surprising. FAIR ENOUGH . total isolation is perhaps too selfish of a desire when one is bound to a planet of seven billion people. it’s another sad truth that she would vainly endeavor to work around : ❝ then i suppose we’ll have to find a way to DISPOSE OF whichever POOR SOUL bothers us ! ❞
RESPONSE BRINGS SUCH A pleased smile to her lips, one would think she’d been given the greatest news, rather than having partook in such a savage subject. ‘ of course ! they will have given us no choice. after all, the business of transformation is a very tedious and careful procedure, i would imagine. the tiniest of disturbances would completely destroy our progress. how could they expect us to hold back such rage at being disrupted ? ‘
MERRY CHRISTMAS !! sorry for the super long post on y’all’s dash. i hope all of u have a super great holiday , & i wanted to give some special gifts to those who i consider some of my closest friends on here !!! so @likelancelot @bringfreedom @tillimfree @overlookedshot @eaglehoe / @holdinghim / @altruistiac @axetaken / @vasilyevna @calledimmoral / @trulyfreed @inwait @patriotread i love u guys lots !!!!!!!

jude looks at lizzie. jude looks at his drink. he looks at lizzie. he looks at his drink. lizzie. his drink. back to lizzie. he quite subtly puts his drink down on the table, and decides he’s not particularly thirsty anymore. despite the fact that his body seems to think otherwise.
‘ no. i, uh, didn’t know that. read a lotta books about poison, do you? ’
‘ IT WAS MY SISTER’S. i simply found it ! ‘ eyes narrow at his actions for a moment, before she realizes. ‘ oh, no, i haven’t done anything to it ! i should have chosen a better time to bring it up, shouldn’t i ? ‘ lizzie lets out a laugh, as if the implication that she would poison him was nothing but a silly joke. a sip is taken of her own drink, as if to prove her innocence. ‘ i have no reason to kill you, after all, right ? ‘

‘ NEVER MOVE AGAIN ? ‘ the idea stirs in her mind for a moment, eventually coming to the conclusion that it could be quite pleasant. if not by her own opinion, it is the girl’s voice that makes the concept so appealing. ‘ i think that should be nice ! ‘ fingers struggle with skirts for just a moment before she is able to take a place next to her. ‘ what if somebody tries to move us ? we cannot have anyone disrupting the process ! ‘
