hi! i’m cube, a 24 year old content creator. recently, i was laid off from my job (just when i thought i was on the way to a promotion, damn!), and i’m currently unemployed. to make ends meet, i’ve decided to start doing graphics commissions in my free time :^D
i do:
- headers - icons/dash icons (examples above. can do custom cropping/borders). - theme backgrounds - mobile theme layouts - promo posts (example above. not all of them look like that, and i try to vary in my designs.)
i’ll make graphics for practically any fandom, with very few exceptions (i’ve never declined a commission, so if you’re not sure about something make sure to run it by me first!), and i have a degree in art and design. i consider myself pretty good at this stuff! each one of my designs comes with a custom PSD coloring, fit specifically for your use!
pricing varies! i will never charge you more than $7 USD, but of course it’s always your choice if you’d like to add a little more to the receipt after we’ve completed our transaction if you know what i mean ;). please don’t approach me about commissions if you don’t currently have the money to pay for them. payments will be done through paypal, in USD.
dm me if you’re interested! all i need is a few vague details, and generally i can get going pretty quickly! depending on my current workload, i usually finish requests within a day or two. if you can’t purchase anything from me, please reblog to spread the word! thank you so much for supporting me and my work!

“ One—no. Two—this has... genuinely reminded me of the first and final divorce I ever attempted to settle, which was a great many years ago. ”
“ It still gives me a headache. Have those laws improved at all? ”
🍉🍋?
🍉 : which of the four seasons suits my muse best, and why?
(answered!)
🍋 : what kind of diet does my muse have? do they eat regularly, or the standard 2-3 meals a day? do they have to be reminded to eat, or are they likely to remind others? do they cook, or have others cook for them? do they eat healthily, or not so much?
It goes without saying that Dio’s diet is highly irregular; he subsists on the blood of humans, and if not humans, some animals. He tries to eat on a schedule so he does not weaken himself any further, but oftentimes he only goes out hunting when he is at the very end of his wits. The healthiest he can consume is human blood; then it goes large animal blood, then medium animal blood, then rodent blood…to be honest, he does not feed off of animals as much as he does humans, so the long-term effects of doing so are a mystery to him.
If he had to pick one thing that he would like to have again from his mortal life, it would be real food. It was a great pleasure to indulge in—he feasted like a king whenever he could, but now it would likely cause an adverse reaction due to his vampiric state.
im sorry i just imagined dio in sweatpants & a stained tank top & a 5 o clock shadow holding an empty beer bottle in one hand & divorce papers in the other
“ How did you know? ”
🍑 : how meticulously does my muse look after their physical appearance? do they spend a lot of time on their hair, makeup, grooming, and clothing? is there a particular reason why they do or don’t?
🍑 : how meticulously does my muse look after their physical appearance? do they spend a lot of time on their hair, makeup, grooming, and clothing? is there a particular reason why they do or don’t?
Dio’s physical appearance was of great import to him when he was in Cairo, and especially when he was a young man. Recently he has started to let himself go, but he still makes at least some effort in his day-to-day to look presentable, even if it is difficult to work around the scar that now mars the middle of his face. Makeup is forgone in favor of comfort; to follow this trend, he tends to be dressed down most of the time. No jacket, no cuffs, no belt or knee pads, and sometimes no shoes. He is exhausted every single day now—it has gotten to the point that he would rather feel better than more beautiful.
🍇 🍉 🍌!!
🍇 : how would my muse describe their childhood? how much has it impacted the person they are now, or will become as an adult? around what age did they or will they start to mature, and why? do they wish to go back to their days as a child, or have they embraced adulthood?
The early years were a living Hell. To this day, he remains greatly impacted by the events in his childhood, particularly due to the fact that his emotional growth was stunted irrevocably. He never really matured—even when he was twenty, he still had many of the same conceptions as he did when he was a boy. He would rather not go back, but if there was even the slightest chance of changing things or perhaps having a better life, he would take it in a heartbeat.
He wonders, sometimes, if he did have that chance after all. But it does not matter now—he squandered it. There is no use in crying over spilt milk.
🍉 : which of the four seasons suits my muse best, and why?
(answered!)
🍌 : is my muse inclined to help others, or will they only do it when it benefits them, if at all? what makes them this way? has it ever gotten them into trouble, or inconvenienced them?
Historically, Dio has always been a self-serving individual. If there is a foreseeable reward or anything at all to be gained from lending someone a hand, he will help them and expect compensation. This is one of the many ways that his early life continues to influence his decisions & perceptions; it was every man for himself on the streets of London, and that sense of self-preservation is likely to stick around. It does not drag him into any scraps anymore, but his motivation to help others out of the goodness of his heart is… muted. Almost nonexistent, truthfully.
Such is the life of a monster, he supposes.
🍐
🍐 : how intelligent is my muse overall? are they smarter than the average person, or less than? are they primarily self-taught, or did they acquire most of their knowledge in school? are they more street smart or book smart?
Dio is a highly intelligent man overall, however in his case it should be acknowledged that intelligence and wisdom are entirely separate matters. It would be fair to say that, even though he is smarter than your average person, he lacks the wisdom he should have considering his technical age & experience; his decision-making & his thought processes are still reminiscent of his twenty-year-old self.
Before he was adopted into the Joestar family, he was almost entirely self-taught, but it was his mother who helped him learn how to read & then enjoy reading. He has an equal measure of street smarts & book smarts, however his street smarts are harder to let go of. Conversely, there are quite a few things he read long ago and no longer remembers.
