#I want to be able to afford food

[robfozdarling]

Sooooo yeah I decided to open commissions again! I’m in a very. Tough spot rn. I’m not getting enough hours at work and I’m hella short on money. I want to be able to actually afford rent and food n stuff so anything would be helpful :3

so dick as robin can want to kill the man who murdered his parents and bruce thinks no less of him, but jason as robin can want to be violent with pimps, rapists, and drug dealers because of his experiences growing up and bruce thinks he's going to become the dirtiest, nastiest murderous criminal in the world?

I SPEEDRUN THIS BECAUSE HOLY TOLETO BURST OF INSPIRATION. It's been ages since I did some audio work plz forgive for any badness. And yes, he was supposed to say "It feels like years since I was last in one", but uh... I wound up forgetting the second half of the line WHOOPS

Anywho YES I can't help it, I love voicing him. And the sexyman polls are the best excuse to do so.

This is going to sound unexpectedly specific compared to my usual vague-as-fuck questions. Context being: I want money, I cannot commit to doing commissions at the moment and drawing is my only marketable skill.

If you were to buy a character "adopt" - premade design for your use, art by me and no rights retained except to like merchandising that original art - would it be a significant factor in either a positive or negative direction if the art were originally done digitally vs traditionally?

Likewise, if you were to buy a traditionally-drawn adopt, would the inclusion of the original paper-and-ink drawing be a significant benefit to you that you would consider paying more than just "base" price for?

Third, regardless of medium, would you want "scratch" papers where I did the brainstorming before the final concept was finished - this wouldn't be at any extra cost i just wonder.

Fourth, would you prefer a "flat" sale or an auction? (I like buying things at auction-style sales, and it means you might get a cheaper price than i'd normally list whatever it is for, but I am given to understand that my preferences vary from the norm pretty significantly lol) .

Fifth, would TF or at lesat mecha designs be more interesting than non-TF ones or would more general "can use this as any oc for anything" type characters be more appealing?

Ah - sixth and last, do regular ocs appeal more or less than kink/fetish-oriented ocs like "suspiciously wide-hipped lady who just so happens to have a mouth in her crotch" or stuff in that vein lol? I'm not sure I can stop myself from coming up with at least one erotic as fuck design because that's just how my brain works, but it's good to know if i should try and focus on that or leave it be and just focus on concepts that seem interesting enough to get a shape out of.

i don't know what it is about august/september (right around my birthday specifically) that always evokes some major change in my life. every year without fail, something big always happens, and i always get the annual, inescapable urge to completely turn my life around.

Can’t afford my gender affirming beers so I guess I have to start smoking the eight I bought like 6 months ago before I promptly stopped smoking

gonna be real honest I think I've been spiralling back into a proper depressive episode. I think my baseline tends to be on the depressive side because [gestures vaguely at my life] but this is. this is 'I can't function'. this is 'you need to be doing only things that make you feel good otherwise you will crash and burn further' territory

[virgodreamseer]

job hunting but the establishment is Good Omens' Hell?

I can't draw to save my life, hence the face emotes :/ my Good Omens hyper-fixation is still going strong.

I am screaming at being reminded that my dad's family is really from a different world.

See I got into embroidery lately and was kinda looking through Youtube skillshare and domestika for the specifics of Lunéville crochet/embroidery to get a feel for it.

My dad asked why I wouldn't get an actual class to learn since we're in Paris. It's a haute couture technique. Official workshops are like 450€ for 6 hours. 1785€ for 30 (10x3) and don't get me wrong it's not out there considering what we're talking about but for a normal person, it is still expensive).

My dad's logic: just ask your grandma for the money for the 30 hours one.

I have joint pains, I don't know if I'll even be able to last more than a couple classes

My dad: heh at least you'll know.

WHO THE FUCK HAS 2000€ to waste on discovering whether I like something or not ? WTF.

you know, I might be Stepping In It, but I really hate people's tendency to "you're lucky" when finding out someone's naturally skinny really piss me off.

I'm not saying there's not privilege to being skinny, there absolutely is in this fatphobic world. But as someone who has spent literally over half my life wishing I could gain any fucking weight ever it makes me so fucking mad. I've tried working out, I've had physically demanding jobs, I've tried, back when i could afford it, eating as much as I could handle. I have literal dysphoria about being skinny.

and then when I Go Off at a coworker for being the second person in a week to tell me I'm lucky- while wearing braces digging into my joints bc I am physically too small to wear them right but they don't get smaller- I'm told "oh but you have to realize we never considered the other side" sure! but I'm still allowed to get pissed! you would be too!
