Hey I just a fic of yours on AO3 and it was great but holy crap you have to take down the Kofi link you can't have any monetization advertised on there it violates the terms of service you can keep the tumblr link but the Kofi link is a big no no not trying to be mean but it's really important

Whoa wait, really?? Thanks for letting me know! I went ahead and fixed it so there are only Tumblr links on my stuff. (Also thank you for liking the fic itself.)

When did they put the policy in to not allow linking ko-fi support for writers even in non-commission or non-paywall circumstances? I've seen people doing tip and even commission links directly in their fics for the past 9 years I've been on the site.

I went searching the ToS and such to try to find it listed cause I hadn't seen any warnings. Just found confirmation like you warned, but little info directly on the site beyond happening to know ao3 is non-profit and that a ko-fi link is considered commercial.

That's dangerous for people who don't know. Thanks again for letting me know. I guess this is also a warning to other writers.

Just wanted to say that I saw your drawing of Pukei Pukei a couple years ago and used it as my profile pic in Discord and other places for years and then I couldn't find it again after changing it. Glad to see it pop up on my Tumblr feed! I love the artstyle

Thank you! <3 Yeah, I had a bit of time away from doing art, but recently came back to hopefully do more again!

Wow I really like your Rocket character’s design!! What would their Pokemon battle quotes be? Things like victory, defeat, their Pokemon landing a super effective hit, their Pokemon taking a super effective hit, Pokemon on low HP, Pokemon fainting, low HP victory, stuff like that?

Awe thank you! That's actually a great question! I'll give some of her quotes I cobbled together on the fly. She's most often in disguise as a Beauty while she does Rocket work so these will be during that (and cause it's the only VS icon I have made at the moment).

You have been challenged by Team Rocket Grunt Nine Beauty Vanessa Vicks!

Entering a battle: "You're really going to challenge me? Fiiine, have it your way."

Victory: "Hah! Yes-- I mean... good fight, totally a waste of my time. Now, get out of here before I give you real trouble."

Defeat: "N-No... No no no! You're going to blow my cover! Get lost!"

Pokemon landing super-effective hit: "Ah hah! See? My boys aren't some typical grunt's pushovers."

Pokemon taking a super-effective hit: "Ho-- Hold on..."

Pokemon on low HP: "Wait... I said WAIT! My boy won't drop that e-easily..."

Pokemon fainting: "... You'll pay for that."

Low HP victory: "Gah! I tol-- told you I'd win! Totally didn't doubt myself for a second, heh. Now uhm... go away before I kick your butt, too."
