Hey y'all! Things are really tight for me right now in terms of money, so I'm opening 20 fullbody sketch commission slots for $20 each to help foot some of my bills. I'm willing to take a crack at pretty much anything- not just for the money, but for the experience as well.

Request them here at artistree (preferred), or look them up on my ko-fi page if you're more comfortable commissioning through there. I can also be contacted through my inbox, dms, or my commission email ([email protected]) if you have any specific questions!

white people will literally be like if u arent nice to me Im going to become a nazi. and think they’re making a great argument

[uptownthots]

this stupid shit has been around for so long and it’s crazy to me there are still people with enough rocks in their brain to believe it. “Oughhhhh if you aren’t nice to you oppressors they’ll become bigots instead of allies” if someone’s support for marginalized groups hinges entirely on whether or not that group is niceys, they’re by definition not effective or useful allies and, by admission of this argument, an active danger to the communities theyre supposed to be allied with because they can Enter Bigot Mode the second they become displease

It doesn't matter how early I go to sleep anytime I wake up earlier than 10am all I want to do is go back to sleep until its a reasonable time in the morning to wake up

You will tell FR artists they can simplify aspects of your character and then they will look you in the eye and draw your dragon png in crisp high res down to every miniscule detail. They'll draw aspects of your dragon you didn't even know were there. And they'll ask for the equivalent of 2 dollars for it. Do you people just have a thing about masochism? Question borne of love

EDIT: Since this post is gaining traction I'm going to add: TIP! YOUR! ARTISTS! Good big tips! If you see a person underpricing themselves PAY THEM THEIR DUE! People deserve to have their work compensated properly!

I understand as a fellow artist why artists lowball themselves, and that is why you the customer hold a duty to help offset this !! Pay your artists for their beautiful labour !!

I don't know who my intended audience is here, so whoever needs to hear this, I am begging you to learn to participate in conversations that are about things you aren't interested in.

Part of socializing and having friends is being a good listener even when you don't actually give a shit about the subject.

Your are hurting other people's feelings when you bluntly respond with "Anyway..." and then change the topic.

It can not always be about your preferred topic.

You are being rude. Yes, even if you are neurodivergent. You can be both autistic and rude.

happy pride

“Rappers only talk about their money, cars, and clothes!”

Why might someone from a group of people that historically have been denied access to wealth, now brag that they have it?

“Rappers only talk about sex!”

Why might someone from a group that have historically been denied sexual autonomy now brag about their sexual escapades on their own terms?

“Rappers only talk about drugs and crime!”

Why might someone from a group that historically have been denied the more legal means to acquire wealth and had drugs forced on their community talk about their experiences with it?

shit that no one ever tells you: sex is a skill. People often seem to have this false idea that, similar to being an artist, you're somehow just innately good or bad at it. But that is definitely not true. Maybe you have some traits that make it easier (or harder!) for you to be good at it, but anyone can get good at it with enough experience and time. (And communication. A lot of it. Like, some people you will just click with and won't need to say much to be on the same page. But for other people, you might have to explain specifically in great detail each step you wanna take and why. And then maybe repeat it a few times because people can also be forgetful.)

all that to say, go grind out some sexperience with your local trans/gay/fag/homo/homie today

uh oh gamers im starting to become a car snob. but exclusively for older work vehicles not fancy sports cars

anyways shoutout to 1990-2000's toyota corollas and tacomas and 2011 nissan leafs and 1970's-80s ford F150s. them bitches never die. idc if a car older than 20 is a shitbox if she still works as she should and can be fixed to a reasonable degree then shes never not worth her weight in iron
