Icon Commissions

i hesitated at first to label these as “emergency” but i’m really feeling the crunch and starting to get scared. 

i’ve got a couple hundred bucks more to pay of rent for next month than i thought i would, my mental health is poor because i’m inbetween therapists right now, and i’m only able to keep working one day a week. i also have other bills and my cat is ill, and i really can’t afford to both pay bills and get him the vet appointment, much less any medicine he might need. in short, stuff fell apart pretty quickly.

my art is not that hot and i know it, so these are priced accordingly.

you will get: a 300x300 fully colored icon, with an alternative version with decorations on it ala the meowth icon above. 

will draw:

🌟 pokemon

🌟 furry/anthro

won’t draw:

🌟 vizi.epop.works, bn.ha, other shitty media

each icon set is $2, and preferably payment should come through my bmc (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/AdoptableKing), but i also have paypal and cashapp. if you want one, please feel free to send me a message on any of my tumblr blogs, or on my twitter (https://mobile.twitter.com/ezdraws)

even if you’re not interested in an icon, reblogging/sending this to people who might be is a big help, thank you

jumping on the bandwagon, here’s a brand new rp blog for sally face himself

[sillyprompts]

meh, here’s another thing: literate rp circles are painfully inaccessible.

minuscule text, over-editing, spaced out letters, “fancy” lettering and all the rest might look nice to some people, but consider for a moment literally anyone who has trouble with their eyes or their processing. i try to generally leave people alone for how they want to format their posts, but there’s a level it can get to where it just seems like a giant middle finger to anyone who has any trouble reading.

general rule? try to keep your themes easy to use. it doesn’t matter how they look, but if people can’t get to your pages without jumping through a series of circus hoops, it sucks ass. if they can’t read your posts, it sucks ass.

and in terms of text formatting, just make it legible. some people use screen readers and imagine having to listen to someone spelling out their posts l i k e t h i s (like this) instead of just hearing the actual words. that sucks ass too.

photos and editing don’t matter as much but if you over-saturate them, at least include a warning for eye strain because that shit can hurt some people and that, you guessed it, sucks ass.

[sillyprompts]

other tips:

split your posts and pages into paragraphs. it’s much easier to read and makes it so people with dyslexia and adhd won’t get “lost” in your writing. keeping your rules brief and to the point is also a good idea but, y’know, whatever.

don’t use more than one <small> tag. like, i get that you have an aesthetic, but why would that be the priority over accessibility for your writing partners? 

if you have a music player, turn off autoplay. sudden noises can be real alarming to a lot of people and annoying for everyone else.

try to use clear lettering for your promos, or at least the important parts of them. script fonts can be downright unreadable to some people.

hello friends. been thinking about this a bit, but i'm gonna go ahead and put the toneidos on a semi-permanent hiatus

my muse for them wavers way too much, and at the moment i'm also letting myself be Free and making lots of other content for other muses, so i really can't maintain their blog whatsoever rn

Clark is counting his… collection of gold coins? What was he, a pirate with their doubloons? Where did he get all those gold coins? It doesn’t seem like he can spend them on just anything.

[insiderjokes]

And Kisegawa is snatching one up, looking at it with narrowing eyes.

"Where'd you get THESE from, exactly? A plastic treasure chest?"

[insiderjokes]

"Hehe - That's what you make yourself sound like, talking like that!"

[anticnaut-deactivated20200621]

“I’m not one of the good guys,” said Clark, while helping old folks and animals safely cross the street and also donating to charities.

“I get into all sorts of weird science! I’m a wiseass of a talk show host!… And I’m a critic!”

That last one had people throwing rotten fruits at him, among other retaliatory tomfooleries meant to distribute plentiful humiliation.

[insiderjokes]

"You sure about not being a good guy, wise old man? The best good guys multitask like that."

[insiderjokes]

"I hate everyone."

[insiderjokes]

"Wish more assholes in the world were like YOU," Kisegawa says with a huff. "Lead the way. I don't have anything to get ready."

hey cuties !! ♡ i haven’t seen a lot of representation for dyslexic muns around here. it seems like people rarely understand or discuss the issues and struggles we face. so i thought, instead of being a frustrated little bean, i would make a small post about some things to bring awareness and maybe even encourage others to accommodate those with dyslexia and eyesight issues. now i’m as much trash for aesthetics as the next pal, but there are some common trends in the rpc that are hard on those with varying visual disabilities.

small sup text: it’s extremely difficult to read and can actually hurt the eyes of those with varying visual impairments and disabilities. of course, i’m not demanding people never use this. but maybe check in with partners? i gave up on trying to ask people to refrain from using it because everyone always forgot after one reply. it was really discouraging and a little hurtful. so please, please do what you can to remember the needs of your disabled partners. 

fancy theme backgrounds: everyone loves a beautiful theme! but please keep in mind for some people, busy graphics are difficult to look at and overwhelming. i still have so much trouble finding menus on really crowded themes. again, i would never tell people they need to change their aesthetic drastically. but perhaps, if it’s possible, find a way to make your menu options a little bigger or give them more obvious spacing in the graphic of where the menu toggles are located.

over formatting: super small text, paired with extra spacing and bolded and/or colored words. it is cute !!  but for some people it’s too much. all these things blended together at once is like a recipe from hell for some with visual disabilities. it puts a lot of strain on us when we’re trying to read replies, it makes comprehension difficult because we’re working so hard just to simply look at the text, our brains can’t even process what we’re reading. again, not saying you should stop using this. but some willingness to compromise for threads with specific partners would be wonderful. 

dark/busy/small graphics: this is just something i would like to explain. i once saw a post where people were reblogging a comment making fun of someone who was complaining about how small icons were getting. it kind of shocked me because no one took a moment to consider maybe this person wasn’t hating on anyone, but they generally were having trouble with how tiny everything in rpc is getting. please, please when you see complaints about things consider that it might come from a place of disability. the tiny icons are kind of hard to deal with for some. super intricate graphics can be difficult to look at. extremely dark images aren’t very easy on the eyes either. 

please keep in mind there are people with genuine struggles, not everyone is trying to shame you for your aesthetic tastes. sometimes people are just frustrated because rpc isn’t really very friendly towards the disabled. a lot of us have to work a little harder to be able to write. of course, i know no one is trying to be inconsiderate. i understand most people don’t even know the difficulties dyslexics and the visually impaired face in the rpc. so that’s why i decide to make this post! i’m not trying to police anyone or create guilt.  i simply want to spread some awareness towards visual disabilities! please be considerate towards your disabled partners. ♡ it would be so lovely if you could take a moment to reblog this to help increase awareness and discussion. and if anyone else has some rpc disability struggles feel free to add to this post!

guys… I love these two (or five?) together /WEEPS

[starship-suggestion]

the door closes. the door opens. your eyes close. your eyes open. you can't do much else than close and open your eyes. your head hurts in a way that spreads through your whole body. the door opens.

[insiderjokes]

the toneidos haven't openly discussed it since shisho's death, but to be honest, they're much more likely to hide their status as a system now more than ever. it's a scary enough thing to talk about, and the situation they last spoke to people about it was. bad.

to be honest? they would like to never tell another person. ever. much rather pretend to be one guy who never stops making annoying voices.

@insiderjokes​ liked for a starter!

“Wanna come over for dinner? The grocery store had a sale. Some of my neighbors are already coming over to grab a bowl or two of hot pot to take home. You can help me prepare the ingredients if you want, or just crash on the couch.”

[insiderjokes]

"Ring the dinner bell, here comes Uendo!"

Uendo shuts his fan, and starts rising to his feet - he's not a lot older than Rex, but the hesitant way he moves would make one think he's twice their ages added together. "Thank you. I thought Thanksgiving had already passed?"
