How come you finished welcome home commissions before other commissions?

Sorry to be kind of rude but a friend of mine commissioned something a while before you started posting about Welcome Home and it’s understandable that you are busy but the welcome home commissions were likely commissioned after you started posting about it so I don’t know why you did them first.

I already know I’m gonna sound like an ass for a moment but here we go-

Firstly this can be taken up privately by your friend if they’re concerned. I also don’t particularly appreciate this in my inbox but to answer, it’s just whatever I can get through quickest. My oldest of the ones sitting are from much longer ago than anything anyone in Tumblr has commissioned me for and I’m finishing those tomorrow (they’re from Twitter and Instagram respectively and I dedicated my entire last Saturday to them alone). Those two have been quite kind and expressed their concerns about turnaround themselves if need be

Anything that’s particularly fun and interesting gets done quicker and keeps space open when others are a bit stuck when I need a quick slot filled like last week to cover an expense, for example. Scraping by on harder/less interesting commissions slows things down

Truly, it’s not that I don’t like some commissions, they’re just harder to sit and focus on

Additionally, my time management has been awful this year because of several points of uncertainty about getting a job, a couple scares on my living situation, and not having a clear window of time consistently to know when to work on things that have been sitting (and of course, burnout is always an issue). It’s easy to find time to just. Scribble and doodle, maybe do a piece for myself, but getting actual work done is a little more difficult. I’ve discovered preclaimed adopts and taking up so many commissions in May last minute wasas a bad choice so I’m still quite literally 15 commissions in the hole to finish on top of your friend’s commission. So making sure that isn’t gonna happen again is all I can do, at the moment. I’ve been chipping away at em in little bits of free time as best I can, reorganizing my canvases, getting a good idea of what’ll be finished first and last, etc etc I’ve actually been quite productive for the last week or so

If your friend is upset they need to tell me. They’re the client, and the content doesn’t concern you directly if you haven’t commissioned me and are waiting. If they’d like a refund because the turnaround is too long, that’s for them to communicate with me and I’m happy to provide a refund. I’m not always gonna be the best artist for the job if you want quick work and that’s fine. I’ve refunded MUCH larger pieces before for that reason. Clients may check in at any time whether I’ve got progress to show for the time or not. And oftentimes I don’t! Sometimes it’s days or a couple-few weeks before I can get progress to people, it just happens and I’ve been working on making sure it doesn’t keep happening so I don’t have to make people expect to wait so long before they hear from me. Trust me, it’s always a bit disappointing when I can’t show anything

And now that I’m working as well, my ability to finish those things just depends on what days I get to myself during the week and atm thats 3 days this week so those 3 days are dedicated to downtime and paid commission work. Which quite frankly, is a bit exhausting. Fun puppet characters and scaly dragons and whatnot are fun and rewarding and I’m clearing my queue while doing something I’m enjoying and that gets me to the older stuff much faster

I’m very sorry the turnaround estimate was more than a little off and it’ll be tweaked for better preparation in the future. I’m also sorry if they’ve asked and I didn’t respond quickly or have sounded dismissive. Hell, some clients pester and pester and that certainly makes doing work for them unenjoyable. I think about these commissions every single day and how I can approach them so I can finish them by sometime in July

If you jouned a 7 sin thrmed group what sin qould you beee?

i'd be the brand new 8th sin: this thing

hmmmm having angsty Lights Out thoughts

starting to think maybe waking up with an anxiety stomachache every single morning and then needing to spend the entire day trying to get rid of said anxiety just to maybe have a few minutes in the evening of feeling relaxed before going to bed is perhaps not normal

i've been seeing more and more transmascs openly talking about like. "hey our community kinda sucks why is no one ever there for each other. whats with all the transmisogyny and ableism". i feel so comforted by this i thought i was losing my mind all alone

Kie saying this to Sarah is the same energy as when pope said to JJ “oh while you were busy having family time” when JJ had to deal with his abusive father like true friends would never say stuff like this sometimes I wonder if the writers think anything through https://x.com/tmtiomason/status/1730124628985618703?s=46&t=3pVP4qJcqGhmh_sHRUkcSA

I don't agree, I think the Kie and Sarah moment was a lot more teasing, and as someone with a dark sense of humor who deals with trauma through that sense of humor, I'm not really that bothered by what Kie said. I've had similar conversations with true and close friends where we kinda pick on each other that way. In fact, no one gives me more shit than my friends, and vice-versa. We know eachothers' boundaries and can read the situation to know when to tease and when to not.

The Pope comment was a lot more offhanded and hurtful because he probably didn't even realize what he was saying, but he wasn't at all paying attention to how it hurt JJ. I'm not saying Pope is a horrible person, I'm saying he snapped in the heat of the moment and wasn't really aware of what he was saying or the implication. But they're not at all the same at all to me.

Why Bardven is objectively the best ship in genshin (and maybe ever)

1- Although it is by no means canon, it’s one of the more likely genshin ships to be implied in canon (if hoyoverse were to ever mention old mond again smh)

2- (Mostly an explanation for number 1 but) While many other ships in fandoms only count as ships if they’re romantic, as long as you acknowledge venti and nb loved eachother (which lets be honest there aren’t many arguments against this) in any way shape or form, congrats. You ship them. It’s just how it is

3- THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS TO INTERPRET THEIR RELATIONSHIP! Platonic, romantic, queerplatonic, whatever silly little relationship dynamic you can think of, it probably works with bardven.

4- Not just relationship dynamics! Bardven can be angst, fluff, sososo many different AUs, canon divergence, angst, angst, hurt/comfort, hurt/no comfort…. the possibilities are endless! Since there are so many plot holes and things that aren’t canonically confirmed, your headcanons can’t be confirmed but they can’t be denied either :)

5- They are two silly little guys who bonded over their mutual hatred of a god, then later worked together to assassinate said god and won. Need I say anything else?

6- You have the excuse to say “historians said they were close friends”

Might add more when I think of more

a) of course Starz picked up up Mary and George, as the channel that is basically "historical shows for women who want to see nudity onscreen" (said with respect)

b) of course Starz is doing that Outlander prequel about the dead parents we know die horribly like the one who has a heart attack or some shit after the trauma of seeing his son basically flayed alive instead of adapting, I don't know, a historical romance series in which it's literally period piece content for women who want to see nudity, which doesn't actually have any rape

Hey, random question but does Piepoe understand asl? I want my creature to interact with her but they communicate in asl since they prefer to stay mute ^^

She does not...! But knowing piepoe, they'd definitely take the time to learn just to be able to communicate with a kind creacher/friend...!

Okay. Need to know after seeing your graph breakdown. Who told Bush and/or Obama about icemav???????? Please I need answers

i mean all they’d have to do is just look at them.

man idk what to tell yall

im just. exhausted atm

But would you tho (Patreon)

for no reason in particular, do you or anyone you know pose a serious threat to residents inside the US?

What are you a cop?

I think English isn't your first language or something but you need to know straight up you're being an asshole, and you're coming across as a really mean person. People sharing their ideas with you is just that; they're just sharing their ideas with you. And you telling them they're basic and to be more creative can ruin their day and ruin them ever wanting to talk to their favorite creators again. Do fucking better.

BAHAHAH do you honestly think I care if you think I’m a meanie weenie 😂 hold up let me feel guilty real quick and come back bowing and scraping and apologizing—😔🙏

I’m not sure what you expect from someone named SADIST, but I’m not here to come across as a nice person. You must’ve mixed me up with TheFriendlySadist. I’m here to create, little guy. If I think it’s a dumb or uncreative idea, I’m gonna say it because that’s what I’m thinking. Didn’t they share it with me to hear my opinions? I’m not gonna lie to them. I honestly don’t care about the feelings of some innocuous, invisible internet person who’s dropping me a random idea from their head like I’ll care. I hope to discourage that, actually. It’s weird to me.

You’re so cute, though, sorry you had to strive for attention by reaching out to a meanie like me (on behalf of a person who never asked).

Next time try something a little more scathing. I was unimpressed. And if it ruined their day like it ruined yours, I hope they get a better grip on their lives (and you, too). There’s a lot worse that can happen than being told your idea was uncreative.

Trust me, I've been told the same. You get over it or you're too sensitive. Grow balls. Be ready for rejection when you share your ideas.

(My favorite part is that you tried to give me a good excuse for my behavior by saying that English must not be my native language 😂 as if I wouldn’t be straight up mean on purpose LMAO. I can assure you it was wholly intentional.)

Coffee stop stranger to my friend watching a TikTok video: “A terrorist organization uses that phrase to call for jihad, just so you know.”

Me playing dumb because I know this person is just being Arabophobic and Islamophobic: “Which phrase? Alhamdulillah?”

*a pause while they “think” because they don’t know Arabic and have no clue what they’re actually arguing against*

Them: “Yeah. You kids need to stop saying it. It makes people uncomfortable.”

Me: “THANK GOD you were here to tell us. Where would we be without you?”

Old people are so bold and they love to comment on things that are none of their damn business 😑
