‼️‼️HELP A HOMELESS ARTIST‼️‼️

Reblogs are greatly appreciated!

Making a new post since we're in desperate need of help again and I have some newer examples for my commissions.

My name is Link and I'm opening emergency commissions since about November 2021, my family (father, younger sibling and I) have been homeless and living out of a motel. Since it's been hard for us to get jobs due to the lack of documents/ability to apply for them and no outside help from friends or family, I've had to take on supporting us myself through commissions up until we can finally bridge that gap. We're close, but we still need help until something changes.

Right now, paying has become a lot harder since work has gone down significantly and bumping my posts hasn't done much to help us. Since we rely on my income, it's a toss up on whether or not we can or can't stay here. The motel we're at does give extensions but as soon as the three day mark is met, we'd have to leave. We're reaching that point again now and need 125$ to cover for tonight, so here I am :")

Anyway, as an artist I usually draw stuff centered around fantasy/DnD like Dragon Age, Baldurs, Skyrim or just ocs surrounding dwarves, elves, tieflings or any of that sort. Since I'm a bioware guy I also have drawn some mass effect characters as well (my shep mainly) But, I definitely can draw other things as well like furries, regular portraits or OCS, and other fandoms! If you're unsure about something, feel free to ask :)

My only don'ts are heavy gore or anything other than nonsexual nudity mainly because I'm not experienced enough to draw those.

My prices will be below for anyone interested and you can just pm me here if interested! All my commission slots are open so I'm welcome to any work! Thank you so much if you do help or reblog, it truly helps my family and I out a great deal.

Welp. I knew I had to leave Iran out of that ask. Now it took over any point I was trying to make about states being evil.

There's no inequality in islam, huh? It's not as bad as Christianity but I think you should try more to be aware of them. Hadith thinks the intelligence of two Women combined equals to one man, for a tame example.

"to single out islam ..." Why did you have to bring white people into this?

Yes what you said are personal wajibat. Sharia also exists.

Islam is fundamentally against monopoly and in favor of basic annual income, which is neat! It can fit into Maexist Leninist leftism. So I guess you're not wrong but I had an Anarchist perspective in mind.

Well thanks for your reply anyway and thanks for all you do. Before becoming a Kafir I read into islam a lot and I kinda fell in love with it too but just realised it wasn't for me so at no point I stand for islamophobia.

ok. well you didnt say states are evil, you said islam and leftism arent compatible.

also i said i don't think islam is *inherently* unequal. which was your question. there are things that can be interpreted as inequality. it depends on cultural and societal influences as well. there are also different interpretations of that hadith, and different translations. and historical context. plus there are some people who don't consider hadith useful or necessary when following islam. i don't want to get into it because i personally have pretty different views about islam.

if you know about the economic rules of islam, then you'd also know that women have economic rights inherent to them that specifically protect their income. so that's why i don't think its right to say islam is 'inherently' unequal.

also also. there are nonwhite christians? islam is not the only religion with brown people.

sharia does exist, i just dont think its a requirement in life as a muslim. you can live your whole life without being in a country that practices sharia and still be considered muslim.

theres no reason to talk down to me about this. everyone practices religion differently in life. i dont like to talk about my ideas about islam because i acknowledge they're pretty different from mainstream opinions.

im not particularly into romantic ships !! (but i like contributing 2 ask games) sooo hmm... whats ur favorite canon friendship or dynamic ? or one u'd like to see in jjba?

Don't worry- I like this ask too.

I wouldn't say I have one canon (non-romantic) character dynamic in particular that I would consider my favorite, but I can list a few of them in no particular order:

-Polnareff and Abdul (I also think the ship is pretty cute)

-Diavolo and Doppio (I find this one the most fun to think & talk about for obvious reasons)

-Trish and Bruno

-Yasuho and Josuke (8) (this one was sort of implied-romantic, but I'll count it)

-Josuke (4) and Okuyasu

-Jolyne, Foo Fighters & Hermes

I also really would've liked to see what an interaction between Doppio and Trish would've looked like- both of them were criminally underused and it's a shame.

I get very excited about character dynamics, but I don't really care much for romantic ships myself either. When I say I "like" a ship, most of the time what I mean by that is if a mutual or friend is into it, I'll nod and give a thumbs up from the sidelines or maybe think "oh, that's kind of cute, sure". The only times I get the "shippy" feelings that I assume are the main appeal of shipping is if I care about one or preferably both characters very, very much, which just doesn't happen often. (Also, I get kind of irrationally territorial about characters I care about to that level, so I'd probably only trust ship art from me and a few people lol.)

#asks #ask game #(very long tag ramble incoming oops)#it's also dependent on if i think the character is shippable or not- most of my favs really aren't #i am particularly turned off by most (serious) ships with diavolo in it. they all feel ooc #i just don't think you can write him falling in love or dating somebody and have it be in character like... at all #(with the exception being donatella who i have a whole jumble of thoughts on)#doppio ships are also squicks for me but for different reasons #i find kiraboss the least 'bad' popular diavolo ship in that i find it tolerable but i don't feel like it works as a serious thing #though for a while me and my friends started shipping diavolo with pucci as a joke and i thought it was hilarious #but then i saw a popular artist post serious pucci x diavolo and it kinda ruined it for me sjdfkldsjfk. anyways.#for a non-JJBA fav example this is also the same for ZIM. one of his big things is that he doesn't care much for anyone but himself #except like... GIR. he just doesn't have the personality for a ship to work for me #romance in invader zim is just an odd concept in general i think...#the valentine's day episode introduced a girl irken and had her ''date'' zim and make them the most atrocious pairing ever #just to highlight the absurdity of romance in IZ... but then people started shipping them because. i can only assume they missed the point?#ship what you want but the point of that episode seemed clear to me idk

just wrote like three paragraphs ranting about my living situation and deleted it just know I am going insane and i hate it here and I need to live by my fucking self or I am going to absolutely fucking lose it

#I can not stand cleaning up shit for people anymore I can’t stand people taking my stuff or messing up shit I clean or organize or whatever #I hate feeling pressured to stay in my room constantly because she almost never fucking leaves and the entire living room/kitchen area is #apparently her fucking home office now. so there’s just nowhere else to go where I’m not forced to interact with her #not to mention how I cleaned out that entire area EXTENSIVELY only a couple months ago and now all of that work is just gone #she re-cluttered it and now it’s a nightmare again :)#and she’s out there in the first place because she clutters her room and desk in her room to such an extent that it’s basically unusable #at least when I had a shitty roommate her mess was confined to one side of a bedroom more or less #and there was a living room/kitchen that wasn’t a fucking nightmare that I could generally control the tidiness of #I can’t fucking live like this I can’t keep cleaning and cleaning and cleaning and throwing away shit and organizing shit and whatever #just to have it all be for NOTHING every fucking time because she takes more shit out and doesnt put it away and buys more shit #that we can’t fucking afford and don’t immediately need and hahaggsgsgshsshshhhshshshshssh #I can’t fucking do it! I really can’t keep doing this it makes me violently angry and one of these days I’m going to snap and break my door #or something #I didn’t even want to move back in here to begin with this was supposed to be temporary. as in only for a couple months #but all my job applications fail and I have no other form of income or support so. haha I’m stuck here #i won’t even get started on just #not wanting to live with her for a million other reasons #I need to get the fuck out of here I do not want to be responsible for cleaning up her messes and doing whatever she says without choice #cause I mean. that’s another thing. At least my roommate couldn’t force me to do whatever she wanted with any resistance being seen as #criminally disrespectful and depending on her wildly unpredictable mood maybe she’ll verbally abuse me or degrade me or accuse me of things #who knows!#also won’t get into the fact that I’m almost two years on t and she still misgenders me and deadnames me and believes she has the right to #do so #kibumblabs #negative #delete later probably.

can't believe i have to shell out more money for consultations and treatment of a THIRD urgent and ongoing medical problem this month

#my pinky finger on my drawing hand is extremely fucked out of the blue #all the joints hurt almost as if there's bruised blood pooled inside them??#both when static and also especially when folding the finger #now i do curl my pinky and ring fingers under when drawing but i didn't even draw for that lomg this week compared to others when i was fin #fine*#i'm doing ibuprofen again. hello darkness my old friend. and bengay cream and an improvised splint #tomorrow my mom is gona try to contact her friend's daughter who's a physiotherapist who has seen my dad on similar emergencies #it just. ughhhh. i want to reopen commissions! for once i Love what i'm doing and i have people on a waitlist to get art by me!#and my income entirely depends on my aptitude to draw #i genuinely don't understand what went wrong #i'm so proud of how much i was able to earn solely off of my art this month but it's all gone to medical stuff and that HURTS man #my foot injury treatment (ongoing). my attempt at a diagnosis of potential thyroid or kidney issues (ongoing)#now this!!! i'm just grateful my wisdom tooth read the room and hit pause for now #ką sako lapė

I've complained so much about work the past month+ but it truly has been such a horrible time. I never want to work hard again in my life lol, despite being the classic try hard back in the day when I was in school. There's something different about working as a student, where at least the benefit is for yourself. It's something else when you're out here busting your ass for people who give no fucks about you, just because they told you to.

Now that things have sort of calmed down and I have a little more breathing room, I'm looking back on this past month and just thinking wtf did i put myself through. Everything has felt like a blur. I feel like I haven't been able to enjoy anything really and that I kind of just blacked out. And ugh I never want to look back and feel like this again. Feeling like I actually lost a good amount of time because I was just in a fever dream of work and stress. It just ain't worth it.

#the thing is i just wanna wrap some of this shit up #so i still have a bit to go...#im definitely looking for another job after my time off next month #but also its hard trying to make a change when other people depend on my income because there's just a lot of uncertainty #and honestly idk if i can find anything that will pay similarly #but i need to get out of here #personal

I need cheering up bc I had a rough day at work. I can’t escape talk of transphobia anywhere I go nowadays and it’s making me upset. like if people who i work with think that way of strangers… then I’m not safe to come out ever.

#✧ — messii speaks ❨ ooc. ❩#I know some people say fuck it and live their lives authentically good for them but #I don’t have that privilege bc I’m Latino and I also depend on my job for income #i can’t risk it

#imma say it again because it keeps happening and i have no ❤️ else to complain to but #within the environmental science/ atmospheric science realm there is such a lack of latino and black students.#like i wanna say in california at the schools I've been looking at 50-60% are white mostly males too and like 30% are east asian 10% are #s asian and like like less than 10% are latino and I've seen like 2 grad students who are black #and like don't get me started on out of state schools cuz ithe percentages get even small for minorities and larger for the white population #and all the pages have this diversity and inclusion section where they're like we want people from a variety of backgrounds and shit but we #don't see that in your student groups in your faculty in your outreach toward these communities #all the students come from these amazing universities and like how are you getting different perspectives when your outreach toward #undergraduates and graduates is so bad #like i know it depends on how you connect with the professors and stuff but its so intimidating to email a professor when the only kids #they've accepted in their cohorts are there these students with tons of experience and while at say my college we did research but not to #the same extent #we gotta do better in these programs #the people most affected by these climate and environmental problems are black brown and indigenous people #start playing up that first gen low income historically underrepresented group lines #will probably delete later but whatever #just wanted to rant

bruh you ever just realize you don’t have ANY friends outside of the two you’ve had since high school and like. of course they’re the ones that matter but like you don’t even have any casual friends you’d be comfortable hanging out with irl and vice versa or anything.

#vent #overly personal rant incoming just ignore me.#god once again realizing that shit hurts.#I’m not at all saying ‘ough my friends shouldn’t have other friends they hang out with’ I’m saying I’ve NEVER had that myself.#also like I don’t care if they tell me they’re hanging out w someone else. that’s not what I’m upset about.#im upset about realizing I’ve never been able to say the same.#I depend on like those two irl friends for any meaningful socialization and it makes me feel like shit bc they don’t need that on them #and also I just. am too much of an autistic weirdo for anyone to like irl.#clearly #even online friends don’t stick around. I’ve never found an irl friend that lasted over two years except one #*online not irl #well. good and healthy online friends. I’ve had online friends last longer but they’ve all been damaging and abusive in some way.#I sometimes feel like I’ll end up losing all my irl friends bc I’ll never be as much of a typical ‘productive adult’ as they are #I’ll just get left behind. with me and my twin once again the only people we have in the world #ig it isn’t as big a worry with the one friend bc I know she considers us like siblings but still I feel kind of like a parasite sometimes #still the fact that I have never made any friends except those two is like a slow poison to me. what’s wrong with me.#the age old question I’ve been asking since I could think. what’s wrong with me.#genuinely pretty worried that one of my friends doesn’t like me or my sibling all that much anymore too.#I think she prefers her husband and the adult friends that amount to something now.#she never talks to us anymore and hanging out seems more like a burden then something to look forward to for her.#i feel like such an asshole. this isn’t normal right? is because me and my sibling are still stuck sheltered??#god. i just wish I could live like a normal 24 year old like all my peers #instead of being stuck in the same place I was born in the same house closeted away my real personhood in favor of surviving.#and while I’m surviving and missing out on any development I’m just watching the divide between me and my sibling and everyone else #get further and further away and wider and wider

i made myself mad by breaking down the take home pay of my current hourly to that of what mcdonald’s is offering their managers hourly (at the high end of the scale) and i make $11 over half of their take home over 2 weeks 🫶🏻

been doing hair 6 years, been with my current job for over 3, and i have only struggled to keep my head above water with small pockets of stability

#o posts #they make us depend on tips to supplement our income #which only fucks us over when we go to buy a house or car #it nearly fucked me over when i tried getting the car i had before my current one #bc they couldn’t prove my income based on my pay stubs #luckily we had tip cards that i took the money from and deposited it in my bank #bc if it hadn’t been for that #i wouldn’t have been able to get my car at all #it’s so fucking ridiculous that i’m depending on strangers for my income #because some people won’t tip you at all or if they do it’s $1-2 #they don’t fucking care and i want to leave so fucking bad but i’m fucking stuck

hey. tumblr (the website). you are correct. i LOVELOVELOVE trans women. i think they're phenomenal. But! I love them very much platonically. i do not actually want them to look at me seductively with no clothes on. and i sure wish you could pick up on that after the 30th 'not interested in this post'. or tell the difference between sex work #trans and 'what if i changed my name to arson lmao' #trans.

#want to be very clear that I have no issue with these women doing their thing #and i know theres difficulty with tagging shit properly and censorship #and that their income depends on it #im just not into naked people #sex work is real work tho and i support them #kinda wish i could blog about trans stuff without constantly having a sexualized version of it pop up #i imagine it fucks you up a little more if youre transfem #but i wish them all the best and lots of money. just not in my feed.

Tbh when it comes down to it I'm just incredibly lonely. Having a domestic partner doesn't change that when you throw in multiple disabilities and poverty. It doesn't matter to loneliness if you live with someone if that person is usually unavailable. Nor does the existence of "friends" mean anything if those people are only around for the rare shared activity or meal.

The absence of loneliness requires regular shared time, vulnerability, shared struggle, and some degree of intimacy (it can be emotional, platonic, whatever). At least for me. And none of those things are available to me. Some of it is being in my 30s and only knowing people who are always busy. Some of it is being neurodivergent and the trauma that comes with that that's taught me not to dare to ask for anything because the moment I do I'll be cut off. Some of it is being a fat transmasc, because even among fellow queers the intersection of unattractive + masculine means I lack value in other people's eyes.

But honestly it doesn't matter who well you can break it down into factors, because at the end of the day none of these things are going to change. I can't go back to the performance of gender I had before I knew what I was. I can't undo the trauma that I've experienced that taught me to shut up and keep my head down to avoid getting hurt. I can't give people less busy lives with more time for joy in them, nor can I change the fact that when they do have time I'm not enough of a priority to spend it on.

It's going to keep being how it is now, and I'm just going to have to learn to accept that, but I hate it and I don't want to.

#And it breaks my heart honestly #These next 6-8 months before I get top surgery are the freest I'm going to be for decades #Almost none of my responsibilities are scheduled and I can work when I want to #I have energy and focus #And I want to be spending time with people. I really do #But the people I want to be spending time with just aren't available #They have jobs and responsibilities that can't be moved around #And what little free time they do get is not time they want to be spending with me #I'm. Just not a priority.#And I never going to get this time back #Once top surgery is done it's back to work for me #And while K will be able to work less and take some of the domestic burden #That's dependant on her health being stabilized and she still hasn't seen a doctor #So more likely I will be juggling being the main income earner as well as the one handling the domestic stuff #While also providing care for her disability #That's not going to leave any time for fun. Much less strengthening existing relationships #And even my relationship with K is going to be weakened because I'm going to be doing all of the work and working opposite schedule probably #So... It's only going to get more lonely from here #And some of this is the depression talking but I don't want to do it. I don't want to go through life like this #Always pouring from an empty cup into other people and never getting to recharge #I'm so tired of it. I'm so tired of being lonely and I just want to stop.#But I made commitments so now I have to keep going #No matter how much it hurts
