#i paid my bills

[letusrollon]

I've wanted to clean my room for a little bit now but just haven't been able to actually do it. So hard to work up the energy and motivation. I always end up doing other things when I try and start. Doing other adulting things instead of this adulting thing 😂

BUT

Bout to go to bed and I see a TINY FUCKING SPIDER on something. And yooooo let me tell you I am MOTIVATED. I can NOT WAIT for morning to roll around to clean 😭

(I got work Thursday. Friday I don't. So let's be real...can't wait for FRIDAY. 🤷🏾‍♀️)

[stump-not-found]

it doesn't matter who i am... i'm here for you bill

see? i'm real

[vurelly]

how am i meant to ha wahoo yippee through life in these conditions

I'm so mad that post was misinformation because there is actually an EXTREMELY important conversation to have about the production schedules artists are forced into. There's no need for exaggeration, the conditions are bad.

I work for webtoon. My publication schedule is weekly. While publishing I'm required 10-15 pages a week. Fully colored.

This means I'm finishing a 150 page fully colored graphic novel every 10-15 weeks.

When my comic is not updating, I am not getting paid. Any time writing, editing, or off is out of my own pocket. I don't get healthcare. They do not provide any assistants. They expect me to promote myself; they chose to deprioritize me before I even launched and gave me an end date half a year in. I never had a chance.

And this is the industry standard! Every company has artists forced into crunch hours, overtime, and burnout. Artists are literally dying early due to it. So many of my friends can't afford to go to the doctor.

It's unsustainable and untenable, and it's also the expectation our audiences have.

If we want to have this conversation, there's plenty of conversation to be had with the realities of the situation. It's bad as is.

thank you

This comic is based on @ckret2’s 9 chapter fanfic. Please go read it, their characterization f the characters are so cannon accurate that I’m 90% convinced that they’re Alex Hirsh secretly writing gravity falls season 3.

If you've just discovered Billford from the Book of Bill you'll enjoy:

Knowing Me Knowing You on ao3!

If you're looking for fanfic to read that hits on the key dynamics from the Book of Bill, (despite the bulk of the fic existing before the books release) look no further! In the interest of tooting my own horn, to celebrate the new chapter I'd like to recommend a fic inspired by ABBA BABBA's musical back catalogue!

If you read the book of bill and wanted to see more of:

toxic old man yaoi billford

pre-betrayal worshipful billford (plus canon typical gravity falls anomaly research and hijinks)

post betrayal angsty possession billford (with bonus BORD!)

interdimensional cat and mouse portal billford (catch me if you can!)

Stanford getting it on with a triangle (and a human bill pre-betrayal) in many weird and wonderful ways

complex relationship dynamics between Ford, Fiddleford and Bill

Institute of Oddology toxic fidd/author/bill side story

Heist after heist with the henchmaniacs

Ford's portal adventures!

Terrible jokes that will make you laugh anyway!

A power dynamic that levels the playing field (Ford in control) and then decimates the field altogether!

Ford fell first, Bill fell harder!

Fleshed out backstories for the wider cast in Gravity Falls and a story that respects everyone's agency!

A Billford fic that takes a break from the toxic ship to spend a chapter with Stanley pug smuggling in New Mexico

Morally ambiguous Jheselbraum with past connections to Bill

Lottocron 9 and the infinity sided dice (including Ford's trip to the M dimension! Hate that place!!!)

Then you might enjoy this fic! It's just updated, with more chapters on the way, so if you're ready for a journey into mystery, mayhem and mischief, strap yourself in!

*author's disclaimer - Book of Bill DID align exactly with my fanfic and I was not disappointed!

once again the muppet is causing me Medical Anxiety! just had to drop over $300 on an emergency vet visit because of worrisome poops, and I'd like to take her in to her regular vet for some proper bloodwork/urinalysis, since i couldn't afford to do those at the emergency vet 🙃

so, if anybody has a bit of cash to spare so we can get her seen ASAP, that'd be rad! 😩

Hi, I'm sorry to ask, but I just got smacked with a very large bill I was not expecting, if anyone would like to help I have commissions open on kofi, as well as a tip jar. Anything helps, and thank you for reading

[anarchopuppy]

I hate to do this again, but I'm out of options. I have to pay my $350 power bill by 5pm CST tomorrow (December 7th, 2023) or I'll be disconnected, and my account is currently over $500 in the red from December's rent. I still haven't been able to find a new job and things are getting really desperate

If I can get $350 within the next 24 hours, I can pay the bill directly through paypal and at least keep my lights on while keeping my bank account overdrawn for now. If you're able to help out, my ko-fi is here, and you can DM me for my paypal or venmo if necessary. Reblogs are also appreciated. Thanks y'all <3

$0/350

hey yall i’ve been sick for 2 days now and so i had to use my credit card to buy soup, gatorade (for electrolytes) and cough drops today. i was able to steal like $30 but the rest was bulky so i had to pay for it. if i could just get $20 to pay off my credit card i’d be set.

work has been slow (like 2hrs a week slow) and this was really unexpected so i didn’t have money set aside for this :’) but if 10 people sent $2 i’d be set! of course no pressure to reblog but if you do thank you sm 💙 i’ll turn off reblogs when i hit 20! love you guys

$10 / 20 !!! thank you!! 💕
