Attention non-artists who commission artists: don’t fuckin do this???
Actually had someone do this to me too. Was doing a art stream, it took me over 2 hours to do his inked commission, he got a refund cause ‘it took too long’ that he figured I wasn’t going to do it after I gave him the file.
Don’t do this. Do not.
I’ve had this happen to me with a $350 comic :/ I had already finished it, it was full color, 6 panels and had a full bg in every panel. I was lucky in that I didn’t spend him money yet, but it left me without funds. I’ve also had the above happen to me as well.
Don’t do this shit to artists. We’re people too. Drawing for you is more than a hobby. It’s a job.
Use Paypal Invoices.
I cannot stress this enough. That shit helps A LOT when it comes down to Paypal refunds/disputes.
There’s a description box that let’s you put in what the product is/how long it’ll take/yadda yadda, and then there’s another little memo box that only you and paypal can see where you can say it’s a digital commission and doesn’t require shipping (So Donald Mcfuck can’t say that they never got their commission).
And there’s also a box for your Terms & Conditions where you can say, if you have any conflicts/want a refund - email me, or you can actually tell the user that this is a digital commission and they won’t be getting a hard copy of it.
ARTISTS. PLEASE USE PAYPAL INVOICES. it will SAVE you. And to: the people who do this to artists – Fuck you. It’s okay if you change your mind and want a refund. But freaking TALK to us and let us know what’s going on. Let us WORK with you.
ALSO A HUGE TIP: Invoices paid will automatically set up a shipping notice which, if not fulfilled, can land you in SERIOUS hot water with PayPal. Since a lot of artists don’t print and ship the commissions, this is a huge problem.
However! Totally manageable. Just go to your PayPal, scroll down to find Seller Preferences
>> Shipping Preferences
>> Display Ship Button. Make sure all the boxes are unchecked. Then you’re all set!
Yeah you do. That’s literally what makes a trans person trans. Babe?
You do need dysphoria to be trans, without it you won’t actually feel the gratitude for getting the first shot etc etc, also if you have all the surgeries, why’d you do it? Because you were trans? How would explain how you feel to a doctor to even be thought of getting T or estrogen? You have to have a disconection to your body in some way, who knows maybe you could have dysphoria once and then years pass and it comes back. Either way, to know your trans either way (ftm/mtf) you have to have dysphoria.

WHY IS LEO ALL BABY POOP AND THROW UP COLORS GROSS
let’s think about it this way. you can see colours in different lights, in different situations. let me tell you what I see:
aries is the red of lipstick and the cream of leather in expensive cars. aries is the color of a droplet of blood falling, falling, falling from velvety, punctured skin.
taurus is all the colors reflecting from the woods at sunset. first you see a warm red ochre, soft tan, burnt sienna tones, and then you see a warm, impossibly bright green and yellow light streaming from delicate leaves.
gemini is the sharp detachment of a ship at sea, of a sailor’s new suit. gemini is a cruise in the Mediterranean, the sophistication, the exoticness, the cool blue waters with unknown depths.
cancer is a pink cardigan over a white shirt. cancer is the wrap ballerinas wear outside of their leotards: a warm, thin layer of elegance and grace.
leo is not baby poop and throw up colours. to me, leo is a meadow of emerald grass shining the bright sunlight. it’s exuberant, it’s glorious, it’s breathtaking, but it’s also calm and self-reflective.
virgo is the colour of shy grace and books. virgo’s colours are timid but admired for their subtle nuances and gentle tranquility, a welcome sight for the eyes.
libra is the marsala of blush, the ivory of the highlight on a high cheekbone. libra’s palette is like an eyeshadow palette; all the colours work together to paint a pretty portrait.
scorpio is the black of lace-up boots, the charcoal of a long grey cardigan over a tank top. scorpio is the red pain of tortured poetry, of tortured minds.
sagittarius is the fun and randomness that you remember even after years. sagittarius is a party embodied, the bright colours of costumes, the light reflecting off the sparkling punch and mardi gras beads.
capricorn is the classic, grounded, almost neutral colours of navy and red. capricorn is the navy dress and milky pearls and red clutch you bring to a fancy dinner party.
aquarius is all the adventures you might go on. aquarius is the blue of a beach day, the orange of a theme park, the yellow of new places, new sights, new heights.
pisces is the quiet, uncertain, watery colour of shadows. pisces is the supernatural, the things you can only dream of, the mysterious and the strange.
i’m seeing a lot of people reblogging suicide hotlines and this is just a reminder that this is a suicide help line that works like a text-based instant messenger for people who may need to talk to someone but have trouble/are uncomfortable making phone calls
Never don’t reblog this. There are so many people who have such bad anxiety about phone calls. This can save so many lives
