I'm at the brink of a suicidal breakdown. I've been waiting to get my paycheck from an illustration job I've done last October 2023, I did ask them about it and said that I would get paid on the 27th. It's the 28th and I still don't see any updates on my end. I've gotten my hopes up for so long, every month since and I've burnt the fuck out from waiting.
I've been refraining myself from eating and buy myself stuff like food and toiletries and I've completely ran out of money to survive. I wish i could accept commissions but I haven't been doing great mental and physical wise and I don't have the means to draw other than a few sketches to cheer myself up. I'm completely burnt out.
If you could help spread this around I would appreciate it, every bit helps at least to cover my necessities for a while until I hope to eventually get paid
I'm sorry for asking for donations so frequently I just can't hold on for much longer in this state
Donations and reblogs are appreciated, thank you

Person: Omg, your hair is so long!
Me: Thanks! I've been growing it out for a while
Person: How do you keep from sitting on it?
Me: It's actually not quite long enough to actually sit on, but I usually have it up-
Person: Like, how to you wear it when you're in the bathroom or something?"
Me: ..It's normally tied up to sit on my shoulders instead of my lower back.
Person: But what about when it's down?
Me: Then I throw it over my shoulder..? Why is this relavent?
Person: Are you gonna dye it again?
Me: Soon, hopefully
Person: Why don't you dye it every few months?
Me: Because I don't get paid enough for that
Person: Oh. How much does this job pay?
Me: Depending on the venue, anywhere from $10 to $16 an hour, out home venue paying the lowest
Person: Have you thought about getting another job?
Me: I've been looking, yeah
Person: Why not just get a new job?
Me: I'm trying to get a second one
Person: Just get a better paying job
Me: I know, but the job market is shit right now
Person: You young people just don't want to work!
Me: I'm trying to get a second job with 4 years experience and no degree. People aren't exactly lining up to hire me
Person: Then go to school and get a degree! You're good at your job, so not having a degree is the only thing stopping you
Me: I can't go to school; it's too expensive
Person: Then get a better paying job and pay your way through
Me: *screams*

i have something for my babies:)
some ramblings:
Hello! i did an illustration for them last year for the start of 2023 and i wanted to do something again for this yr but omygosh i started sketching and and my brain went FAMILY PORTRAIT! 🥲 it would be A CRIME to not include the abundance of cats in the shadowgast household SO here we are!
if you remmber from last yr, i STRUGGLED with drawing Frumpkin. For the love of god I CANNOT DRAW CATS
BUT MY FATHERS (shadowgast, not my actual parents) RAISED NO QUITTER!! WE SHALL CONQUER! WE SHALL PERSEVERE! WE SHALL DELIVER! I SHALL DRAW DA CATS
ye so basically this will take a while ehehe
last years illustration:
