EDIT FOR 2020: UPDATED ART

please commission me college is expensive lmao (also i don’t have a job anymore wooo :’D)

Will Not Draw:

- Bigoted Works

I reserve the right to refuse any request, for any reason.

Five slots open! Shoot me a message and I’ll send you my information! I request half of the payment up front, to prevent theft.

PRICING EXPLANATION:

- “Base Price” refers to the line style, either cleaned sketch or full linework. I won’t do colors or backgrounds for the cleaned sketch, so keep that in mind. - Cost stacks. For example, a lined waist image with simple shading and a simple background would be $20 + $5 + $2, or $27 in total.

- Painted images are priced as seen in the example, disregarding backgrounds. Max of one extra character, either human or animal, allowed for paintings.

I have never, and will never, use "ofc" to mean "of fucking course". It literally stands for OF Course...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELOVED

I just don’t understand the “only children don’t know how to share because they never had siblings” discourse because I certainly would not describe the interactions I saw between two or more siblings who wanted the same thing as “knowing how to share”

I laughed so fucking hard at this

there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.

A common theme in science fiction is that if you're in space, don't trust a corporation. And Earth is in space

If you're writing anything involving cons, scams, heists, or morally questionable characters who are very good at lying, here are some free resources I've been using for research. Saving you the "why is this in my search history" anxiety.

1. The FBI's Famous Cases & Criminals archive (fbi.gov/history/famous-cases) has detailed breakdowns of real fraud cases, Ponzi schemes, and confidence operations. The language they use is clinical and precise, which is perfect for getting the procedural details right.

2. The FTC Consumer Sentinel Network publishes annual reports on the most common fraud tactics in the US. Great for understanding how modern scams actually work and what makes people fall for them.

3. The Smithsonian's American Art Museum has a free digital collection of forgery case studies. If your character forges documents or art, this is gold.

4. Court Listener (courtlistener.com) is a free legal database where you can read actual court transcripts from fraud trials. Want to know how a real con artist talks under oath? This is where you find out.

5. The Internet Archive's collection of old newspaper crime sections. Search for "confidence man" or "swindle" in papers from the 1920s through 1960s and you'll find incredible real stories that would feel too dramatic for fiction.

Bonus: The Psychology of Fraud section on the Association for Psychological Science website has accessible articles about why people trust, how deception works cognitively, and what makes someone a convincing liar. Essential reading if you want your con artist characters to feel psychologically real.

Reblog to save for later. Your WIP will thank you.

Sorry, my what? My pronouns? Oh, yeah I'm between genders at the moment. No, it's cool, I quit my last gender a little while ago because it really wasn't working out. I don't know if I even have a dream gender anymore.

[draconym]

Oh yeah, it did come with benefits, but they weren't really worth it. The culture was really toxic. To be honest I think I'd prefer a part-time gender so I can just be self-described in my spare time.

[draconym]

I mean, in a perfect world we wouldn't need gender, you know? We could just voluntarily be perceived as much as we're able, as much as makes us feel fulfilled. Having a full-time gender shouldn't be a prerequisite for food, shelter, and healthcare.

I loooove ominously giggling when I'm getting my friends into smth new. They ask me a spoilery question and I get to do this

Alright tell me in the tags, what’s Your Poem? That poem you heard once and it has dwelt within you ever since?
