ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT COMMISSIONS

My commissions have officially sold out! For, like, the second time in the year and a half I've been doing this! I can afford groceries this month! WHAT! Ahem. I have also heard from a few people who are interested in getting a commission before the half-off code expires but didn't get a slot. I will have completed a few slots before the month is over, so I can open them up again before the code expires, and I'll alert those who expressed interest ASAP. For those who did get a slot: Thank you so so so much! I'm genuinely really excited and I will get on your commission ASAP! I honestly did not expect to sell out of slots, and I've got a couple of projects I have to finish first before jumping right in to the big commissions, so the wait might be a bit longer than usual. I am really sorry about this, but I want to give 100% to these commissions so you have the best possible pieces I can make, and in order to do that I need to meet my previous obligations first. I'm hoping the wait won't be longer than 2 months absolute max, specifically for the bigger pieces, but I can't guarantee it. If your commission is time-sensitive, please let me know via DM and we can figure something out! Thanks so much, again! Y'all are so amazing! <3

The Rupert Giles to Emmrich Volkarin pipeline is a slide:

Anthony Stewart Head is an absolute legend. One of a very few positive portrayals of gentle, sensitive men. Gonna miss him.

[kirain]

RIP Anthony Stewart Head, an incredible actor, musician, singer, LGBTQ+ ally and activist, devoted girl dad, and father figure to many of us as we grew up.

You will be dearly missed. 🩷

Here's my piece for June for the the Fade Discord's Emmrich calendar! Here's the companion written piece by @tacoteddy22 💐

I was really trying to convey the silence of those midnight sunsets.. the calm of it all. Hope you all get a moment of similar reflection and wonder this month 🧡❤️💜

This is worse. Looking at these you can tell they have no significant monetary value. They were confiscated as a fear tactic. Nothing more.

[arithanas]

This picture breaks my heart everytime it appears in my dash. It’s a fear tactic, alright but—

The first one in the left corner: It’s a first communion rosary, and it’s not cheap.

The black one in the first line: That’s a widow rosary and it’s old.

The white one in the second line:  is a commemoration rosary. It has a miniature picture in the round part. I haven’t seen that since the 70′s.

In the third line, multicolor one: It’s an Anima mundi, I have only seen those in the hands of Rosary ministery’s old ladies. The oldest ones are from the 80′s after Juan Pablo II came to Mexico for the first time. It’s one of the old ones, I know because the crucifixes are different.  The third one on the fourth line: Red and gold. The style is old, the metal is dark, that’s a 50′s rosary, probably a quinceañera one (or it’s maybe older, from the 40′s when the brides carried red roses with their offerings).

The fifth one on the fourth line: It’s a quinceañera rosary with Ignatius’s tear. The style is old and in my part of Mexico is orphan girls who used it. At least it was when I was young. The third one of the fifth line: the blue one with the anchor. That one I have only seen in Veracruz and it doesn’t look new. The fifth one on the fifth line: That’s a 90′s wedding rosary. Black and white patterns were popular on that date. The fourth one on the last line: That’s a first communion rosary from the 30′s. It’s delicate and most probably silver. The rest wrench my heart too, the humble everyday rosaries with wooden beads and knots. Those are cheap and bear the wear and tear of their user handling. But those  I described are much more.

Those are mother’s rosaries.

Those are not just rosaries. Those are mementos, that’s the proof of their families stories. They are taking from them the only portable things they can carry to feel the connection to their families. It’s not a fear tactic. Call it like by its name. It’s dehumanization.

[lkblackham]

There is absolutely nothing ICE could have gained by confiscating these rosaries. Absolutely nothing. They did it to be cruel. It is, indeed, dehumanization.

adhd is so funny it's like being possessed but with myself

[welpnotagain]

me, desperately: can we please get something done?!

my inner demon, who is also me: IF YOU LIKE PIÑA COLADA

[lkblackham]

Last night, I was trying to sleep like a responsible adult human, but instead I lay awake staring at the ceiling until 4am with the scene from Jurassic Park where a cow gets eaten by velociraptors playing on repeat in my head. I haven't watched the movie in 20 years.

[spinfins]

Rook: My boyfriend's too tall for me to be able to kiss him on the lips. What should I do?

Taash: Punch him in the gut, and when he bends over in pain, kiss him.

Davrin: Dump him.

Lucanis: Tackle him.

Harding: Kick him in the shin.

Manfred: Hisssssssssss.

Emmrich: No! No to all of those! Just ask me to bend down!

[modernbluem]

don’t you hate when real life keeps interrupting your extremely serious commitments like your wip, your fanfics, and the emotional support music group you’ve been hyperfixating on for the past three months.

[lkblackham]

I burst out laughing because this is EXACTLY my life right now

[forestgreenandgray]

does anyone know why this happens ?
