Damn it's been a while since I actually dusted this blog off.
Hiiiii I am alive.
Just older and into different things now (been doing a lot of DnD mostly. Both DMing and playing)
Also work's been a bit chaotic bc I work with kids and my job is funded by the Department of Education and Kill Bill Sirens in the distance what was that.
(Support TRIO programs BTW if ur in the US. Yah boy would have never finished college without them and now that's his career.)
Also I started SSRIs recently (this is my third week) so I've been like. Feeling a lot more outgoing and talkative and confident.
I might rewatch TFP once summer hours start at work. IDK.
Or maybe I'll start drawing or painting robots again.
Charity Drive: Donate to the Kaon City Medics, get a doodle from me!
Hello all!
So a few weeks back I reached out to @combaticon and asked for permission to do this, and she gave me the OK, so here I am.
Basically, I'm really passionate about the Kaon City Medics' work. They do a lot of harm reduction work in their community and it's a real breath of fresh air compared to the hand-wringing I tended to see in school regarding harm reduction. (you've probably seen this post asking for funds so they can continue doing their work.)
So basically here's what I want to do now that I have time and energy. If you donate to Swin's Ko-Fi, and send me proof that you donated at least 2 Ko-Fis/6 USD to his Ko-Fi, I will give you a silly little doodle. You can send me proof by dropping a screenshot proving the transaction into my DMs. They should be open to everyone. You can censor out/redact any info you need to as long as it’s obvious you sent the money to her.
These doodles can't be NSFW or contain any hateful imagery. But I will draw your blorbo from [insert pretty much any fandom here] as an autism creature, or doing the "KILL" image where the person is holding the Monster energy, or whatever silly little meme you want me to do.
Also like. I encourage you to just donate without the incentive of getting something out of it.
This drive will continue from now until end of September/start of October or until I secure a new job, whichever comes later.
One of my coworkers called me "bestie kins" in a GChat and she meant it 100% affectionately but I just know Knockout calls Starscream that kind of shit with full on hostility.
So, in February, I had to go to the ER for a serious acute illness (I'm healed, don't worry!)
My insurance denied covering the bill for a test, despite telling me they would cover EVERYTHING for this ER visit, leaving me on the hook for almost 900 dollars.
We love the American healthcare system.
Anyways, this means I am opening up some fast, cheap commissions earlier than expected because while I will try to fight my insurance, I don't have this kind of money, and I can't just. Decide to not pay the bill because I do not want that to go to collections.
Anyways! If you can't commission me (because we're all going through it, I know,) reblogging so more people can see this is enough.
All inquiries can be taken through my DMs on this account. I have samples to give directly upon request, but this blog has a lot of art and writing samples. All payments are taken through my Ko-Fi over here. I will expect full payment upfront for these, but I am willing to negotiate.
See below the cut for pricing and other information, such as fandoms, the wills and won't, and disclaimers.
These commissions at these prices will be open until I have enough to comfortably pay my medical bill, and then may stay open depending on what happens in the future.
Thank you

A Sonic 3 movie teaser was posted a few days ago which means I am now chewing on Raf and Tails being buddies again as Ratchet adopts his 3rd child with a yellow color scheme.
His name is Nightshade and he was just some guy who liked sleeping in our garage. But now he is mine.
No relation to the TF character. I kinda wanted to name him Potato but at the time he was a skinny little thing so I just named him Nightshade, which potatoes are nightshade family members so. Yeah.
