Ko-Fi, Commissions, Patreon eventually

Heeeey, so.

I've been unemployed since May of 2024, and things aren't getting easier. While I'm not done looking for a new job the tech industry is somewhat infamously tightening its belt right now, and me and my family are in a really rough spot: so here's the deal.

I'm opening my Ko-Fi with a $500 goal for the moment. That'll cover some bills and medicines and help us get some breathing room. From there, I'm also going to be working on setting up a Patreon. I'll be trying to increase my output proportionally, since a lot of what's kept me from being able to write is my stress and attempts to fix this situation on my end.

Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/fridurmus

Commissions are open, as well!

You can find my commission info and rules here: https://fridurcommissions.carrd.co/

Patreon will come once I've improved my output levels back to where I feel comfortable offering it. I'm going to be writing both fandom stuff and things that are more nsfw and focused on transformation themes most likely that will wind up on FurAffinity or something, so keep an eye out if you're into that I guess?

Thank you so much. Please, even if you can't help keep me afloat, signal boosting is its own kind of massive help.

the most essential part of a fandom are those people who immediately tell you to write it, draw it, make it when you share your ideas, you have no idea how many fanworks are born just because someone encouraged it

unsurprisingly mina the hollower and its soundtrack are incredible. jake kaufman, as always, one of the very best to ever do it. listen to this castlevania blues from the bayou level

You gotta understand that some people never really grow. They never learn their lesson. They never recognise their mistakes, they never acknowledge their faults, they never admit they were in the wrong. You will never receive an apology from them, and you will never see their behaviour change.

if you’re in the notes saying “this is wrong and cruel because everyone is capable of growth” you’re not understanding the post.

yes, everyone is CAPABLE of growth and change. everyone has the RIGHT to growth and change. but no, not everyone will CHOOSE growth and change. some people are not interested in and cannot be made interested in self-improvement or self-reflection. some people will go their entire lives refusing to admit they might be wrong or examine their own behaviors. some people will never, ever accept responsibility for the effects they have on people and the world around them. humans are varied; some are just always gonna be like this.

it is VITAL to understand this if you’re the kind of person who tends to pour energy into helping others, especially if there are already people knowingly hurting you who consistently show absolutely no interest in changing that behavior. you can’t forcibly make them want to change who they are. you aren’t going to find a way to convince them to suddenly care that their behavior is hurting someone.

the motivation to change and grow comes from within. others may inspire us, but WE have to decide we want to be better and work towards that. until they decide that for themselves, nobody else can do it for them. and they might never. people are mortal. we are a finite series of choices. it is entirely possible to make mostly selfish ones.

everyone CAN grow, but not everyone will. not everyone wants to, and nobody can force the desire to grow as a person on someone else.

I love this game about eating marshmallows in space where nothing bad ever happens✨

Somehow I relate to Chert a lot despite thinking that they wouldn't get along well with anyone^^'

Chert's spot pattern is inspired by @coffibee (I think it was the first Chert design I ever saw and I just went "it's canon to me now") Really cool idea to have the two larger forehead markings mirror the hourglass twins ::D
