Hey friends and fans, I'd like to join vgen in order to streamline my commission process. I'm codeless, so that means I'm counting on you to help me!
All you have to do is like + comment on this post. To be completely transparent, I need 5 unique comments + 100 likes to be considered, and reblogs will of course help me get there even faster.
For those of you who don't know me, my name is Daxe and I'm a trans artist. I make 2D and 3D art and have a love for the fantastical and strange. You might've seen my work on the covers of glass beach's albums. I run a monthly sticker club on my patreon, I also regularly stream art on twitch, and I'm working very hard to support myself full time with my art. This is just another step in that direction!
someone on wikipedia edited neil gaiman's article to say that the allegations began in 2025 (they did not - the first allegations were made back in july 2024) and the article they cited directly contradicts them
(the article, for reference - linked on the wayback machine because vulture has a paywall)
Sure, you know how to self-flagellate, but do you know how to apologize? Saying "I'm a stupid idiot" is not the same thing as saying "I did something wrong."
People who want an apology pretty much never want to hear "I'm a stupid idiot." If someone is actually trying to get you to say you're a stupid idiot, it's not because it will make up for a mistake you made or harm you caused. It's because they want you to feel like a stupid idiot. People who care about you do not want you to feel like a stupid idiot and it hurts them when they see you putting yourself down in their name.
It's also a bad and manipulative tactic. When you've done something wrong that affects someone else and your response is "I'm a stupid idiot" they are then forced to comfort and reassure you even though they are the ones suffering from your mistakes.
Do not do this. Just say "I'm sorry" and then do your best to do better next time. That's all anyone wants.
It can be manipulative, but it's not always intentionally so. Some people just get very upset when they realize they fucked up and they berate themselves because they really do feel like a stupid idiot. Especially kids. Kids often get really upset when you tell them they did something hurtful.
The thing is, you're not forced to comfort or reassure anybody who's doing this, kid or adult. Maybe you feel compelled to, but you should probably try to avoid it. Because if this is a bid for reassurance, it just reinforces that self-flagellating is a viable method of getting that from you in the future. It's often better to say something like "I understand why you might feel that way, but I just want an apology."
this post is an experiment, I am curious about how far you will get into the post.
to start, I challenge you to read the orange text below, and not read any further:
the challenge is to only read this far into the post. if you are stopping here, leave a comment about your favorite carbohydrate.
ok, you have decided to continue reading. hell yeah. no shame in that at all. this test is not meant to make you feel bad, in fact, you should be happy whenever you want forever.
if you made it here leave a comment of your favorite fictional universe, you are officially a Tier 2 Post Reader.
ok, the next part of this post is behind a barrier, there's a keep reading button. if you made it this far, tell me your favorite reptile in the comments. you are more than welcome to stop here, only continue if you would like to.
hiiiii :)
ok you're in the big leagues now. this is the DLC of the post. if you made it here, tell me your favorite milk substitute.
now FOR REAL. this would be a cool place to finish off at. you can go after this, I promise you're not missing out, you can leave. If you made it here, tell me what tattoo you would get if you decided to get a new tattoo today.
thank you for reading, I promise this is a cool place to stop reading the post. you really can go now. :) 👍
*ahem* alright, you are still with me. I'm happy to have ya. here's the deal, the chance of you seeing a picture of my dog within this post is 12.5%.
you have a 1/8 chance of seeing a dog in this post.
keep in mind, that is not a high chance.
if you are ready to leave now, tell me your favorite plant. like, your favorite plant can be a tree or a specific fruit or vegetable or whatever. just tell me your favorite. then you may leave the post.
alright. since you made it here, I have the ultimate test: a link. definitely the highest barrier to entry so far, this could lead you anywhere. it's a trust exercise with a complete stranger.
clicking on this link will continue the post further, for how long this will go on, I cannot say. If you do not want to proceed, tell me your favorite sauce, and be on your way. I like buffalo ranch.
hey, i don't know if you're cozy right now, but if you aren't cozy, please, please get cozy. snuggle up. do whatever you have to do. please I'm begging
I wrote this because I am laying without a pillow and my neck hurts and I don't have the motivation to get up. I'm still laying here, and I'm uncomfy. please don't be like me
lots of new music coming too. maybe next year. no promises... new project. (kind of) new sound. some really catchy high energy stuff, the kind of music i haven't made in a minute
this is all the information i can provide at the moment. but be assured i would not be acknowledging it publicly if i didn't have a decent chunk of it already that i like a lot.
