Would anyone be interested if I chose to open commissions? Below are some rendered wips (~$100?), flat doodles (~$15?), and sketched examples (~$10?):

who tf is in front

Had brunch with a friend from college today and told her about the guy Im going on a trip to Gettysburg with…

Apparently it is not typical just friend things to get ice cream together, go for walks in the park together, take random day trips together, be planning a weekend trip for just us with a single hotel room, drive an hour to the mountains to stargaze - Fuck are we dating???

Out of Context Quote #2

Am i your Jorge?

I've been calling my reps every day and I saw, it might have been your post actually, but I saw a call to demand an end to occupation as opposed to a permanent ceasefire. I'm also seeing other Palestinians still calling for a permanent ceasefire. Today I urged for both, but I wanted to ask if you have time and you think it's worth addressing if you think it splits the target of the demand too much? Thank you so much.

Please do call for a permanent ceasefire!!! The specific bill proposed especially!

Feel free to say that you demand an end to the occupation but please, please, please do still ask for the ceasefire one because that one already has political support.

We can ask for both! We need them to stop killing and displacing the people in Gaza but please also ask for an end to the occupation so that the people in the West Bank aren't harmed either!

There is not a bill (to my knowledge, other than resolution 888) that talks about an end to supporting the occupation, but do still demand an end to it, maybe specifying resolution 888! And an end to the military aid of 14.3 billion dollars to israel!!

I would recommend making different calls tho for each one.

Sun Wukong, the demon king fallen from grace, tries to lead a reformed life under the teachings of his master Tang Sanzang while fighting off various demons and other misfortunes alongside his junior disciples Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing. However, one day they are bound to escort two important figures to the nearest city. The Princess of the Great Tiger Kingdom and her most loyal advisor who seems to share more than food supplies with short-tempered Monkey King. While majority of them bicker daily, they fail to notice a pair of keen eyes watching their every step.

A soulless demon rejected by the Heavens feared by humans. Sun Wukong must prove whether he truly is worthy obtaining sutras in the west. Will he overcome his pride and bloodlust? Is he able to come to terms with Lady Wolf Witch and help each other in order to protect their beloved ones? Or will they both lead themselves to inevitable doom?

they're coming out with some official suit jackets and the phoenix one has dahlia and iris in it. Btw. If you even care.

100,000 dollars is not a lot of money.

it is also a lot more money than i will ever have. my student loans make up half of that - they're coming back, i'm told, like we all bounced back recently. the other day while paying for gas to go to work, i overdrew my account without knowing it.

i sat in the car and looked at the charge and tried to do the math. where the fuck is the money even going? i don't live extravagantly. i live in a hole in the ground, in an apartment the size of a sneeze; covered in ants. yes, i wanted to live close to a population center. maybe that's my fault. i've downloaded the apps and i've spoken to the experts and i've cut back on excess. i can't help the pharmacy bills or the medical debt.

i have a good, well-paying job. when i googled it to see if i was getting a fair salary, i found out i'd be making "upper middle class" money. which doesn't make sense - is "upper middle class" now just "able to afford a one-bedroom without a roommate". when i was younger, upper-middle meant a nice big house and a backyard and vacations and not flinching about eating at a resturant.

i was talking to my friend who is a realtor. he said 100,000 dollars is extremely cheap for housing. he's not wrong. 100,000 dollars would change my life. 100,000 dollars also won't really buy you anything. it could get you out of debt, potentially, if you were lucky and had a certain amount of scholarships to tack onto your degree. you could pay off the car and then have enough left over for "spending" money. how fucking amazing. one vacation, maybe two if you're thrifty. and then - like magic - the money would evaporate into nothing. people would sigh and tell you see, you should have put it into savings! like "upper middle class" people can't afford to value "actually living" over squirrelling wealth. you should spend your life only in scarcity. like that is what made the rich people all their real "actually a lot of money".

100,000 dollars would literally set me free. it also would just set me back to "earning normally" instead of paying down debt into infinity. god, do you know how many of us just want that? that our first thought is we could stop scrambling and just be free of debt if we won the lottery? that we don't even necessarily need to stop working - we just wouldn't have to worry about failing or falling?

and. at the same time. 100,000 dollars is next to fucking nothing.

The scale of MXTX characters hand writing from Worst to Best

Hua Cheng: literally intelligible, those basically aren't even words any.

Wei wuxian: the equivalent of a sleep deprived adhd stem student notes right before an exam. Technically legible but only to him, people who know him really well.

Luo Binghe: it's good. Not outstanding but Nicely legible, pretty when it needs to be.

Shen Qingqiu: technically there's nothing wrong with his hand writing, but His writing is too modern for the Xianxia settings he's living in and although it's not too much of a problem it's definitely enough to make peoples eyebrow raise.

Xie Lian: stunningly beautiful calligraphy. Truly just art in written form.

Lan wangji: the most beautiful and technically perfect hand writing you have everything seen. Calligraphy teachers weap with joy when they see his writing.
