A comic to try and sort through some difficult feelings about being an artist and a reminder to not forget who you are.

feeling extremely threatened right now

Please help a struggling artist.

Hi everyone.

I'll try my best to word this as well as I can; this is a plea for help.

I'm Donna, a 27 yr old freelancing queer+POC female artist.

As my Tumblr activity would suggest, my favourite thing to do is make fandom artwork, it brings me joy like no other. That has come to a standstill as in the past few months I've been unable to make ends meet with unexpected bills, having been kicked out of my previous apartment, and spending a lot of time and money in hunting for a new one in a dire time limit.

I've been holing up temporarily in an acquaintance's home for a very minimal charge, but her kindness can only extend till the end of June as she is moving away and giving her place up for rent for an amount I cannot afford anymore.

I have found a smaller place, but I still do not have enough to make the deposit/the rent that I need to pay by next week or I will lose the place. I'm down to my last trickle of savings that I can rely on for food alone.

In a week's time, I will be homeless and broke; I do not have a vehicle to crash in or any friends in the city I can approach who could accommodate me. I cannot return to my conservative parents in my hometown, I would have to give up my freedom as an artist and return to a closet I spent all my twenties working hard to get out of.

I've been living every day in constant debilitating anxiety and panic. Searching for a safe/affordable apartment and a paying job simultaneously is using up all my energy and will; my mental health has taken a massive hit with subsequent depression.

I'm on my last few dregs of hope and you guys here are it.

Tdlr; I humbly ask you for consideration in the form of donations.

I have linked my payment gateways: | KOFI | Stripe |

It would be extremely helpful to receive any amount at all; even a single dollar from a person counts and may help keep me afloat for a few months while I search for a job that could support me.

If a donation is not possible, signal boosting this post helps too. Please help me reach as many people as possible.

I'm being very optimistic by keeping a goal of $1,500; even though a part of me thinks that's highly unreasonable, I have hope, and it's all I have at this point.

My dear friend @enterthetadpole (an absolute angel who has helped me as much as she can) tells me how the fandom helped her when she was in need of desperate help, so I hope I too can turn to this space that has kept my spirits from waning completely out of me. Fandom content has been a safe haven; reading fics, looking at art, and poring through all the discourses here help me forget some of the fear and anxiety that grips me constantly.

I want to be able to give back to the community with art and sketches soon. I want to be able to open commissions again once my living situation is sorted.

Art is bread and butter, and my happy place.

Kindly help me get there again.

-Donna

Hey everyone, we know how this platform is one of our primary fandom bases and the artists that fill our timeline with their creations are majorly responsible for fuelling it - without ever asking for much in return. And there comes a time they are forced to run out of fuel themselves - let’s help them before that happens. 

Donna is more than a dear friend - she is a creator I respect and wish to show off with my head held high. Her art has saved me on days I wished I never existed. Her art has felt like a warm hug. Her art has squeezed a good cry out of me. Her art is a love language. I wish nothing more than for her to be given her value’s worth. 

I, like many, am sure can understand the life of a struggling artist, so if you are able to donate a little or even spread the word, it would help immensely.

Lots of hope and love.

[oobsie-daisy]

Wow happy one year anniversary to when Cas and Dean moved to a small house and nothing bad ever happened to them ever again

Sometimes the help you need isn’t the help you want. Call 1-800-273-8255 if you’re thinking of suicide.

[camphipp]

I... don’t know what to say. I really appreciate this.

[no-longer-pheonix-inside]

Reblog if you're queer, have ADHD, or hate the government.

Nobody needs to know which one.

DO YOUR THING

Always remember to do your thing.

It’s ok to change.

Sometimes you don’t get the drive or the motivation, sometimes others are better or more visible than you, sometimes you’re done with this shit and sometimes life happens.

But always remember to do your thing.

I know you rely a lot on applause and other people’s encouragement and you think everything’s a pissing contest.

But it’s not.

Take a deep breath.

Remember why you started posting or creating content in the first place. Remember how pure you were when you didn’t care.

Empty your mind.

Remember what it was like when it was just you and your favourite fictional characters.

Remember Creation.

Abandon a fandom if you have to. Not because the fans are nasty - NEVER let others decide for you - but maybe it doesn’t suit your needs anymore.

Don’t get attached if a “relationship” hurts you.

Find something that makes you feel complete.

You didn’t fail.

You’re just taking a break.

all of these were in one episode all the way back in season seven. cosmic coincidences fucking me up

[skepticalfrog]

i am BEGGING you to consider this: dean finally thanking cas for rebuilding him while they're cuddling or something, only to have cas trace a thumb over one of his top surgery scars and tell him 'it's nothing you hadn't already done yourself'

i love this and you put it so beautifully 😭❤️

[camphipp]
