Hello people who are getting a blaze post! :3 My name is Mona and I'm super broke. Can I interest you in a magical hooved animal? Maybe even a cool cat or dog? What about a queer one? What if I turned one of your OCs into one?
Here's what that would look like!
And now... introducing by popular request- dogs! With 3 tail variations and two body types! Further customizations can be discussed of course :3 there's also a greyhound version, though it's by request only
Details below! Please reblog even if you aren't interested :3 Even if it's to say this was a dumb way to spend $25 :3 or! just to talk about what you think of the examples of *already completed* commissions posted on my Kofi!
So you've gotten this far, and you're interested in maybe giving me $20 of your hard earned dollars... What can you expect from me?
-I have a consistent ETA of around 2-3 hours from the moment the commission starts, though I will take first-come-first-served (up to 3 commissions can be completed a day, but i will work through all orders until complete :3), and let you know where you are in the queue between each commission. I will work on commissions one at a time, from about 2 PM CST to around 7 PM CST (to avoid burn out)
-I only take paypal and kofi, make sure to send me your email so I can send the invoice if you use paypal :3 If you want to pay more than $20+$20 tip that paypal invoices allow, let me know and I can add more to the invoice, or send extra in a separate transfer :3!!
-I will put any flag, as long as you tell me what the flag is so that I can verify that it is what you say it is. If it's a hate flag, or you lie about what it is, you're getting blocked.
-Nothing you ask for is cringe. I promise. Obviously this is a YCH, but if you ask nicely and your character doesnt fit the base per se, I can customize the base (ETA - 1-2 extra hours). Example of base customizing in my most recent commission, a Changeling (If you ask for something like this, I reserve the right to keep the changed base for use in future commissions. If you ask for a reformed Changeling, you'll get the same base as the one seen in the picture)
-Because this is a sale aimed at getting more money quickly, I will limit how many "decorations" I can do. Small jewelry or easy-to-draw clothing is okay, but I'll draw the line at full outfits and complicated accessories. Look it's $20, that's a steal.
-You will get frequent WIP updates! I give updates for every "milestone of progress", such as base colors, shading, details, and final line colorations.
-I *do* want payment upfront, but only once the details are settled on what you want and work has started. If for any reason I can't finish your commission, I will let you know and refund the $20.
-If you want a commission, but don't have a same-species oc, don't worry! I will also do character designs based on descriptions, or ponify (or catify) (or dogify) a different oc of yours!
-If you scam me I'll kill you btw. Just so we're clear.
-Yes I know it's not pride month. I've been selling these since June of 2020, and it just so happens I need money :3
“For example, if you’re trying to convince people to boycott a segregated store, your object is to convince them that boycotting the store will have a strategic effect, not that desegregation is morally important. For whatever reason, on a cognitive level human beings have a really hard time with this. Smucker cites an example of a Lefty roleplaying session where people were tasked with selling an action to people who agreed with them on principle but didn’t see the strategic merit of the action. Surprisingly, the sellers couldn’t make the conceptual switch to sell strategic merit: instead, they doubled down on THIS ISSUE IS IMPORTANT — even though it had been stressed to them that the people they were selling to bought into the importance of the issue. People react poorly to “this is important, so do WHATEVER I SAY”; they want to be convinced that what you’re proposing will work.”
“Bob Wing, a grassroots organizer, explains this nicely: “If winning feels impossible, then righteousness can seem like the next best thing.” But righteousness is not conducive to getting normies to join your team if your team cannot demonstrate ability to, at least sometimes, win. Nor does righteousness help you make real inroads with regular people.”
Some have called "they pay me in woims" Sluggo's catch phrase. It's not. He said it once, and folks on Bluesky loved it so much they say it all the time, especially in response to the Nancy Comics by Ernie Bushmiller account. Here's the original "they pay me in woims" from February 22, 1978:
And, another mention of woims from September 13, 1949:
And the Woims Wednesday (aka Woimsday) image that gets posted almost every week because of the popularity of the word:
being too warm during the day: well, this sucks, but this temperature makes sense because the sun is up, and the sun is making me warm. i am unhappy but logically i can deal with it for now.
being too warm at night: what if i kill everybody.
obsessed with this muppet clip where Gonzo breaks a piece of machinery and then just stares at the camera in an empty room and says ‘GUILT’ in the most harrowing way possible
