Commissions for Bills

Hiya! Mackey here. So, fresh out of college with my degree, I am doing what many adults have to do: WORK. Granted, I am not working a job in my field. Which sucks, but I know if I keep trying, I’ll get there some day. Until then though, I and my roommate/friend are working a full-time minimum wage job to pay our bills. Unfortunately, minimum wage SUCKS. So in order to help pay bills (rent, electric/water and internet among others) I implore you to check out my commission info, and if you can, commission me. I’f you can’t, PLEASE reblog and share this post. It would mean the world to us as we begin our adult journey if we can have some extra money to make bills and set aside some for emergencies. 

If you can’t commission me, please feel free to donate any amount to my Paypal (WARNING: contains my real name please do not call me this or spread it around ;w;)

https://paypal.me/CalamityStudios Thank you very much for reading and have a good day/night/whatever time it is XP Much love~

Does anyone else get that feeling when you see an artist do something and you know you could do it too...but when you attempt it it looks like absolute trash?

Emergency Commissions

So, due to health reasons I am in desperate need of money. I tore a ligament in my knee and cannot walk on it for about 6 weeks at the least, and I need help getting food and medical supplies to help it heal. Any little bit helps, and if you don’t want/can’t afford a commission, note me if you want to make a small donation so i can send a link to my paypal.

Commission info is here:

If you cannot afford a commission or don’t want one, you can donate to my ko-fi page here: https://ko-fi.com/calamitystudios

Or send whatever amount you want to my Paypal: paypal.me/CalamityStudios

Insert Creative Title Here

Over my life I’ve always been, in a word, FAT. Elementary school, middle school, high school and now, I have continuously gained and lost (mostly gained) weight. I always dreamed of being thin because being ‘round’ was not accepted most of my life. It was seen as unhealthy and gross, and I was shamed for it a lot by my peers and my mother had cried over it due to health conditions that could rise from it. 

Nowadays I see chubby people posting selfies and stating how proud they are of their bodies and at first, I was perplexed. Did they not want to be thinner? Were they suffering any kind of ridicule or health hazards? As time went on, and I looked more in the mirror, I came to figure out maybe I’m ok with being a little chunky. Yes, I still want to lose some weight, at least get down to 250 and get rid of my double-chin, but unlike in the past where I did it to impress others or gain validation...

I’m doing it for ME.

I want to be thinner so I can get more cute clothes (the reason being all the plus-size stores I have been in the clothes either cost an arm and a leg or have fugly patterns on them) and so I can be healthier because I AM at risk for heart conditions and such based on my weight. So far the fight has been tough, but slowly I am widdling down my weight. And I am proud of it. 

So for now, I will be ok with being a bit chubby. That just means there is more of me to love. And if you are chubby in any way, just remember there are people out there who will accept you too.
