emergency commissions kinda

um since my mom has borrowed nearly 400 usd from me this month and my job decided to give two shifts my entire december, I could really use some commissions right now….. so next month I’ll get like 60 usd in my paycheck and uh idk abt the us but that’s really nothing to go on in Sweden.

basically I have a save account but I’ve already borrowed that 400 usd from my account and I really don’t want to take anymore so…

Mind that they probably won’t be finished before new years, considering I have a lot on my plate irl rn now

I’ll have some various prices. Examples shown below, if u want more or ur interest then just message me <3

if u want more characters in the drawing the price will rise slightly. But as said, we’ll work that out while messaging

Hey everyone, hate to do this but I’m in deep trouble:

Isn’t Christmas just the best time of the year to be broke?

So some week ago I learned that I have more or less 800$ of taxes (6500SEK) that I need to somehow pay by 26:th December or it will be sent to Kronofogden, which basically means I’ll be marked for years to come in a register and things like getting loans or an apartment will turn nearly impossible.

How did this dumbass get into this trouble you ask?

Well, I first got the notice about taxes way back in August, you know, when I had a job. A good job I enjoyed. Then I got fired suddenly with just two-three days notice when I thought I’d have a job for an entire year. Deep dive into stress over other bills like rent and food and desperately trying to get a new job while depression comes creeping, I honestly forgot about the taxes because it wasn’t due til November. I thought I had paid it. I hadn’t. Long story short.

And the money I do have is stuck in hell (another account w/ savings I can’t touch without paperwork and I’m working on getting that sent off but I need to wait for them to send me the papers first, then fill in and send them back, through snail mail…………. And after that there’s a waiting time and I just don’t think it’ll make it to my account in time. It’s ridiculous and I want to scream.)

Well jeez Taima, that’s fucked up but why are you telling us this?

Listen, I know there is no way I can expect to make this much money in such a short time just with commissions and adopts, but I would like to do as much as I can on my own since I’d like to avoid crawling to my parents about this… Or at least, I don’t want to crawl with the full sum to them, if I could just get it down a little bit that would be amazing.

Especially as I have commissions just waiting to be done too. I’m way over my head. But I have to do what I can. Expect me to reblog a bunch of commission-things soon and opening up additional slots.

Commissions will be worked on as soon as I’m back home from Christmas-celebrations with my family Dec 27.

HEY ARTISTS!

Do you design a lot of characters living in not-modern eras and you’re tired of combing through google for the perfect outfit references? Well I got good news for you kiddo, this website has you covered! Originally @modmad made a post about it, but her link stopped working and I managed to fix it, so here’s a new post. Basically, this is a costume rental website for plays and stage shows and what not, they have outfits for several different decades from medieval to the 1980s. LOOK AT THIS SELECTION:

OPEN ANY CATEGORY AND OH LORDY–

There’s a lot of really specific stuff in here, I design a lot of 1930s characters for my ask blog and with more chapters on the way for the game it belongs to I’m gonna be designing more, and this website is going to be an invaluable reference. I hope this can be useful to my other fellow artists as well! :)

PSA

So hey I was gone for a long ass time, and not really by choice.

So I’m pretty sure I have Celiacs, and let me tell you how i came to that conclusion.

Hurricane Irma hit me last week and it wasn’t anything more alarming that power out for a few days tbh. Problem is, after the power came back on I ate food and for some reason it sat terribly with me. Severe acid reflux I had to stay up all night for, tums was doing jack shit, bread was doing jack shit, I even tried apple cider vinegar (and got relief for about an hour but then it came back). So basically for the past week I’ve been living off of crackers and plain bread cause that’s what all the acid reflux and GERD sites tell you to do, and I was getting worse. Few days ago I was feeling a little ok after a day of not eating so I made myself a sandwich cause I knew I needed nutrients in my body. After ten minutes I had nausea and acid crawling up my throat. At this point I’m panicking cause nothing that I saw on help sites were working and I haven’t been able to sleep and my chest burns and my stomach wants to rebel, so I call my dad who has a decent amount of knowledge in the medical field and he suggested I might be gluten intolerant and since I had nothing to lose I tried it. Day after wasn’t any noticeable improvement but I hadn’t gotten worse which was a plus in my book. I could even eat the minor amount of food I could put in my mouth without feeling nauseous. Currently three to four days into not eating gluten and???? My acid reflux is now Manageable and I’m not tempted to puke my guts out eating more than a small handful of food or looking at a bright screen. Still extremely tired cause I haven’t been able to eat much and I still have to walk to work but... the fact that I’m improving has given me hope that I’ve actually found the cause of my distress.

Looked up the prices for GI doctors in the area and for new patients to get all the testing done that I want to to confirm its Celiacs its +$500 lol. So looks like I’m sticking with my supported hunch until I’m out of poverty.

How come reading tea leaves is seen as this sophisticated, witchy thing but if I slam dunk an open can of Chef Boyardee ravioli onto the pavement in the gas station parking lot to see what kind of soda the old ones think I should buy, foodstuff divination suddenly isn’t cool anymore?
