The one issue I have with my illustration software is that it does *NOT* do the thing where it tells you when things are centered

✰ STARS ALIGN ⋆

hello and welcome to my little blog!

it’s been a while since I opened up a place so bear with me if you see oddities with posts and pages. I already feel very old inside, lol.

this place here is quite like a dump bag of all the art and written pieces I’m not sure where else to put - not because they’re unimportant, rather... my mind is an odd place at times. categorization there is also odd - and mostly because I need a safeplace where to store them away.

starting from here, we’ll see where things will bring us!

updates will be very random and possibly scheduled, but feel free to hit the messages anytime!  ✰

Hey anon, I was answering your ask and tumblr ate it, so I’m gonna say here. 

Request are open.

I do het couples if asked, as gay and lesbian.  I do prefer gay and lesbian couples, but have some het ships too... 

 I will not do  villains and heroines together, like Jessica Jones and Killgrave, its a nope, no way.

I can do a especific moodboard, like for a character, show, concept, animal, etc

I also can do a mix of things, usually I do a wlw or mlm mix with other things, but can be any other mix.

I hope this clarified some things

HI PEOPLE! I’M HERE (kinda)!  [The ‘I got things to sell’ update]

So first of all, as I am more self-employed and due to my relapses and some complications with my medical/kidney condition, the idea and potentiality of working full-time and ambulating on a full-time job outside seems very unlikely - thus also why I had been and still pushing back my plans to further my degree at a later time or even considering the idea of a part-time degree. So I’m mostly considered ‘self-employed/freelancing’. I had been taking and try my luck with some writing gigs online but eh let’s just say didn’t get so lucky. 

However! I have received some good news for...something pretty big for me! Which is a giant step forward for something I had been wanting to do but it happened at such a serendipitous timing that I have to go for it and see how goes, hope for the best (also bless the person I respect, admire and adore dearly for the opportunity I did not ever think I deserved)! So yes I have been focusing on this particular endeavor for a while, partly thus explains my absence here. I’ll make a separate announcement and post about it when everything is at least confirmed. 

So! Selling half if not most of my merchandises is pretty much like a side income for now. And thus why, I feel the super need of importance to make this post so please, do read.

There’s going to be another post listing on things I wanna sell put up here after this one because in this post, I really want to stress a few things: 

I kind of somewhat sorta got few bulks of stuff to sell and especially box splits because I seriously am having way too much Chuya hauls from late October all the way to next year late March so god help me this petit mafia mofo of a husband is really putting black holes in my bank account *coughcough* I’m keeping a lot of the Chuya (unless I have extras OR if the 1st box split is full then I can open another box split) 

BUT I want to really and strictly emphasize on this because I am quite fed-up with some potential buyers emailing me for reservations but been months since they got back to me. So a lot of the older items I have been putting up to sell and reblog multiple times to get attention, a few did email/message me for reservations and then suddenly idk what happened - they’re still sitting on the box with me. 

So I decided while there are some items I already am giving away (mostly to friends, mutuals and few other buyers who bought from me), for the other items that I really want to sell, I decided to to start:

 Charging for deposit fee for reservation and add charge a bit more (currency exchange rate okei ppl ;-; painful).

After I’ve ranted and wkjgnwengwe about some peeps emailing me and telling me they really want my merch but never got back to me in months, I really have quite a lot to cover and so thus I sorta just cut back on spending on box splits unless I know a lot of my friends, mutuals, closer peers and such have certain few fandom that they REALLY are into then box splits would be a good idea for me when it comes to mass gifts. A lot of also the individual items I’ve bought were my personal merch but I bought extra thinking I can give away to some friends who are into any of these characters, but turns out well.... XD; bias level changes. 

Lemme break it down properly here: 

---- RESERVATION FEE AND PERIOD ---

Anyway, to put it short, if you are REALLY SERIOUS about buying my items, I am not gonna hesitate but to charge you for a deposit/reservation fee. No refund for this. Reservation period will be extended from 2 weeks to 3 weeks.

- A week before the 3 weeks period, I will message/email you again to ask if you’re still interested in buying the item you want reserved. If no, still no refund and I will have to put the same item on sale again for other buyers.

- Extension for reservation I may consider but only, if possible, for another week. Won’t charge anything extra for this. 

---- FOR PREORDERS ---

If incase anyone is wondering, there’s also a reason why I want to implement that deposit charge/reservation fee - it’s also BECAUSE there have been people who expressed interest in reserving spots for pre-orders, but by the time the items have arrived to me, I haven’t heard from some of you for about 2-3 months. So again, I had to cover some funds lost there in a way and I just feel it’s unfair that you may have lost interest in the item but there could be others that really want it. 

So if you’re REALLY interested, please pay the reservation fee. Again, no refund. 

Even if you don’t end up buying it because of circumstances but you really want to get it, I may even consider a price cut or even just give it away to you for free (which REALLY depends). 

After you pay the fee, that’ll at least cover like the ‘reservation spot for you’ before the release of the items and before they get shipped to me. I won’t charge extra for the ‘reservation fee’ of storing the item you want with me - that’s already covered with your ‘reservation fee’. 

Unless I want to switch on and feel like an absolute asshole *snorts* Nah just kidding.

---- SHIPPING FEE/ SHIPPING METHOD  ---

While I will try not to charge too much on shipping since I mostly really use ‘Standard SAL/Air Small Package’ and most of it at minimum USD6-7, I have been only charging only a flat USD5 for shipping including the item (comes with tracking for additional 3 bucks anyway). 

However, I am considering right now if there are peeps out there who have a particular preference for express shipping options - Which mainly, I’d only really recommend EMS. 

In which case, if you really prefer EMS, you have to let me know and I will charge a bit more. Depending on where you are or just another flat rate from the average ‘Standard shipping’ method I use. 

There’s no charges on domestic shipping on my side. Don’t worry about that, incase you’re wondering. 

---- FANDOMS AND TITLES I AM MOSTLY SELLING ---

To be really frank, at the moment a lot of my orders, preorders and bulk hauls mostly consist of: 

- Chuya, lots of Chuya, a loooooooooooot of Chuya (all for me AHAHAHAMUAHAHA //coughhackcough) 

- Bungou Stray Dogs in box sets (not a lot though because damn budgettt) 

- BSD specific characters (mostly keep for myself or for friends/mutuals/peeps interested - I’ve given away quite a lot of Kunikida, Ranpo and Akutagawa lulz):  - Dazai, Kunikida, Ranpo, Akutagawa and Atsushi (these 5 mostly always come in a box split when I really only want Chuya. But Q_Q why you all no want Atsushiiiiiiii lololol) 

---- For Non-BSD ---- 

- UtaPri (I mostly take the Tokiya, Reiji, Ren, Natsuki and Ranmaru though - either for myself, friends and well, they come in bulk box splits so.) 

- Hakuoki (to be frank, I haven’t opened box splits for this, I only bought specific characters. So I might consider) 

- Kuroshitsuji (I still have one more box to split BUT since the upcoming ‘Book of Atlantic’ will be out, there’s...well, let’s just say it’s magical ohoho) 

---- Upcoming ones ----

Initially I had wanted to only buy ONE box to split for only among friends to pick their biases, but there maybe some characters that not many of my friends really want so I’m either thinking of selling them or give them away. 

So here are the (mostly possible) titles: 

- Love Live - Yuri On Ice  - Idolish7  - Osomatsu-san  - B-Project - Yumeiro Cast  - Ensemble Stars - Collar x Malice (to commemorate for the upcoming English release) - Code: Realize (I’ll be SUPER honest about this: I actually just want Impey. LOL but I don’t mind considering selling/keep to give away the others - really, really depends) - ....Idk what other ones, running out of ideas but anyway, if you have an interested title you think you want me to help you get, lemme know. I’ll consider.

------

Kay I think for now and here, that’s about it! 

Any other questions and blah blah blah, I am reachable through here: - Email: [email protected] - Twitter (you need only ask through DM) - Tumblr DM - LINE (I have a separate account for non-personal stuff and due to some really silly incident. Again, just DM me to add) - Skype (Again, DM me for it) 

I most prefer email because well instant and able to keep track better on details albeit I cannot promise too prompt response due to life obligations and such but I will respond at least within 1-2 days by most. 

For on-the-go chat, Tumblr DM is okay but I also don’t quite prefer Tumblr DM because phone screws that up for me quite a couple of times. Twitter is next to best way to get to me then. 

ANYWAY! Whichever one you prefer!

Okay so for my school's UN festival I got Singapore!!! If there's anyone that would maybe show me some guidelines on how to best represent this country I would really appreciate it!

[becausedragonage]

Okay...

I had a question from someone who wanted to know if it was okay to make a post in the same style I did for the 30DayRPC on day 2. My answer was OF COURSE but I thought I’d make a bigger post about this. I want to address some things I’ve seen pop up on Tumblr. My only caveat is that this all applies specifically to me. Other bloggers and artists often feel different and their feelings should be respected.

First, I do different and sometimes off-beat stuff in regards to storytelling because I’m easily bored, because people seem to like a variety of formats and because I hope to give other people ideas. 

If you take some idea I had and make it your own, I will be thrilled. 

If you take some idea I had and do it better then I did, I will be ecstatic. 

I’m almost 42 years old and everything I do here is a result of stuff I’ve consumed and digested over the years and then regurgitated in a slightly new form on my blog. That’s how creativity works. So if you like the format of the day 2 post or the idea of a fourth-wall breaking interview like I did with Kinnon, then take that format, make it your own and produce something new. 

The only hitch? Tag me so I can see what you did! :D

Second, if you like my art style (do I even have a style?) and want to try it with you OCs and post the results, go ahead. I spent most of my teenage years copying John Byrne, John Romita Jr., John Buscema, and a myriad of other Waestern comic book artists. I think it’s a valid way to learn and develop your own style. 

The only hitch? Tag me so I can see what you did! :D

Third, if you like my headcanon stuff and want to use it in fanfic or art, go ahead. Some of it I want to tell my own stories about, yes, but I’m pretty certain that what I produce with my OCs will be radically different from what someone else produces, even given the same headcanon and scenario. This applies to art as well BTW. If some drawing I did inspires a story, write it!

The only hitch? Tag me so I can see what you did! :D (are you sensing a theme?)

In regards to using and tagging my art...

I don’t mind people tagging my art with the names of their own OCs at all so go ahead if you’d like. Don’t remove commentary that makes it clear who my art actually depicts but that’s it. In fact, if something I do reminds you of your own OC, drop me a message and tell me why! I’d love ot hear it. 

Want to use my art for an icon or on your blog? Fine! Drop me a line and let me know so I can see what you’ve done with it and credit me on your blog. 

Don’t repost without permission. Pretty standard. 

Don’t remove commentary without permission. Again, pretty standard. 

NOTE: All of this is about my personal preferences and is only intended to reflect how I feel about my content. It is not meant to be an argument for why all bloggers should feel this way or justification for anyone to do things I’m fine with to the content of other bloggers who may not agree with me. Respect the wishes of individual bloggers. 

And if there’s anything else you wonder about with my content, just ask!
