Icon Commissions!

Want a silly simple little icon / emoji of an oc?

Well this is my first time doing commissions so I’m planning to start simple with some icon comms!

Some examples:

[ID: 9 digitally drawn headshots of various characters with circular shaped heads and various expressions. /End ID]

Prices:

1 icon for $5

3 icons for $12

If interested please dm me with a reference sheet / detailed character description! Feel free to specify a particular expression you want!

All payments will be done via PayPal invoice in USD. I’d prefer full payment upfront since it’s a relatively low price.

Unfortunately no furries / animals as I cannot draw those in this style just yet but pretty much anything else is fair game!

Ozempic is a diabetes drug with a side effect of weight loss that is now rarely able to be prescribed for diabetes because of the value it possesses to the medical weight loss market, leading to the development of Mounjaro, a diabetes drug that has a less effective weight loss side effect, which is now under restricted prescription in the uk because it has become valuable to the medical weight loss market, driving the price up.

I am diabetic, I am on Mounjaro, and it’s done better for my HbA1c (blood sugar average) than any medication in the previous ten years of treatment, and would likely push me back into effectively “remission” on a higher dose, which I cannot be prescribed because of market conditions; and if I weren’t already on it from the NHS trial period, I would likely not get it now.

This kind of misinformation OP complains about above kills people.

The off label drug research run by the MS Society and MS Trust in the UK and the National MS Society in the US are the only reason I can walk right now. Decent charities.

The exception is cheesy local commercials. Those should be the only ads. I will listen to someone who runs a store in my city doing an awkward rap. We once had a furniture store with these awful CGI ads and the slogan "where the deals are so low, it's almost criminal!" and then they got shut down, by the cops, because it turned out. It turned out the deals were so low because. You're not going to believe this but the prices were so low it was in fact

fool me once shame on you fool me twice you have been locked into my bad ending

[boybeetles]

The main reason I’m pushing for people to stop using the term ‘pedophile’ and instead use the term ‘child sexual abusers’, is because since all discussions of child sexual abuse focus on this idea of an evil person who is just out to get kids because they are sexual attracted to them, it makes it hard for kids who where sexually assaulted by people who don’t fit that description to realize they were sexually assaulted.

It didn’t register for me until recently that my experiences of being forced to strip naked multiple times at the mental hospital to be ‘checked’ when I was 14 was sexual assault, because the people who did it were nurses/doctors who clearly didn’t find me sexually attractive but instead used it as a form of humiliation and control towards children they deemed as ‘unruly’ and ‘uncooperative’ (ie. children who asked to be treated like people). I thought only people who fit into this idea of a child attracted pedo could be child sexual abusers, so I thought my experience didn’t count.

Stepping away from the idea that there is a pedophile boggieman and instead highlighting that anyone can be a child sexual abuser will help more people realize that their experiences are sexual assault.

[mousidy]

my stepfather would openly sexually harass me and my siblings at dinner while also loving the fantasy of killing pedophiles. whether he personally found our abuse sexually gratifying was frankly irrelevant to whether it traumatized us. whether he would be considered a pedophile or not doesn't change that he committed sexual abuse of children

I think in his mind there was a type of horrible person out there who does horrible things, and because he didn't think of himself as fitting that category, his actions could not be judged

listen to me. this is my final message to you. when you are at your lowest a fictional guy will come to you and when that happens you must start putting them in situations. this is the meaning of life.

hard to swallow pills dot jpg. the reason people don’t like when you infodump about your uwu favorite things isn’t because they don’t like hearing about deep sea ecosystems or anime blorbos or whatever it may be. it’s because talking /at/ someone is selfish. have you asked the other person any questions? do you care what they have to say? would you willingly listen to them infodump the same way or would you (be honest) stand there and wait for your turn to talk? people not responding well to your tedtalk on the thing you like isn’t because they’re normies who hate ‘nerd stuff’, it’s because you have substituted conversation for verbal masturbation. hope this helps

[mojana]

I understand what you're trying to argue as far as normative social conventions. But infodumping in this way is usually discussed in the context of autism, and I find it imperative to point out to you that autism is a disability specifically marked by struggles in nonverbal communication. This is also why the etymology of autism ("aut" -> self) implies selfishness and why autism historically was known as a "low empathy/sociopathic" disease.

I am going to assume your goal was not to be ableist. So I will explain how this differs in autistic communication: As an autistic person, if someone else infodumps I do not see this as selfish. I might not be interested, but I don't ascribe meaning to it as selfish. I just think, "wow this person really loves X!" And i know that if they spent 30 minutes listening to me, I owe the same to them. It is a way of sharing interests and directly getting to the point in conversation.

Neurotypicals will observe this dynamic differently and again ascribe or assume it as selfish, but its a different communication paradigm. I genuinely prefer listening to someone infodump for 2 hours than dance around conversation topics that are superficial at best. Calling it masturbatory implies an intent that I don't think is there when someone is not aware or able to understand certain social rules. Struggles with turn-based communication is literally in the diagnostic criteria. This is, again, what defines autism as a disability.

If you have an issue with how someone else is communicating, then don't engage with them. Just as much this person "should be aware" of the social rules and dynamics, you also have the responsibility and ability to disengage or leave if you're not interested. You have always three options: share back (match their communication style), steer (emulate turn-based communication) or completely disengage. You are within your right and choice to not communicate or engage with someone you find annoying, you don't have to "listen" because you think it would be rude to not.

Nothing has done quite so much damage to my internal vocabulary as the construction #MyNoun. I don't remember if it was from that "tour of my jar, this is my twig #MyTwig" or if it was from "inappropriate attachment to objects, my tuube #MyTuube" but either way it was one of you fuckers on here. I do it every time there's my noun #MyNoun
