Hi! I finally have the capacity to be doing something like this so I'll be drawing a sketchy headshot (see above) in exchange for $7+ donations to any of the gfms linked below:

Donation campaigns - May 20

Vetted fundraisers from Gaza & Sudan

Gazafunds

Gazaesims (1 9$ eSim = 1 headshot, 1 $16 eSim = 2 headshots)

All I'll require is a receipt/proof along with the timestamp sent through DM and I'll draw you a headshot of any character of your choice!

In case you're unable to donate please reblog this post to spread the word!!!

[beskarprincessjenny]

Hi all! I am going to be selling my collectibles because, what's the point? I need the $. I have some interviews, but bills amirite? Anyhow, here is a few below. If interested, let me know, I don't know $, but I'm desperate, so money is money at this point. I just need to be able to "live"

You can also send $, PayPal @JenniferBartscht or Cash app $PeachyGal19

but I'll gladly just take reblogs. The more the merrier, seriously.

(This incredible poster is the handiwork of our wonderful co-host @sazanes!! You guys, she made a freaking VIDEO POSTER!!! Love so much how this turned out 😍😍)

Welcome to our third edition of King Liam Appreciation Week!! Last year saw a record-breaking turnout of stories, art, headcanons and all kinds of creative work - all celebrating this amazing character.

And while the fandom may not be what it used to be in the past years, we still hold out hope that there will be plenty of people who still love Liam and want to show that through their creative work!

November 17th is World Baklava Day, and can you think of a bigger fan of this irresistible sweet than Liam? 😃

This year, the event will run from 17th - 21st November. The themes for the days are as follows:

Day 1 - Nov 17th - Baklava/Throwback

Day 2 - Nov 18th - Character Appreciation/Vanilla

Day 3 - Nov 19th - Roses/Monuments

Day 4 - Nov 20th - Relationships/Coffee

Day 5 - Nov 21st - Healing*

(*Healing can be interpreted any way the reader wishes, both physical and mental healthwise - though we tend to lean a bit more to the latter because of how stoicism is such a central aspect of his growth)

Keep in mind that you don't have to send the content on the exact day of the theme - if you give it a little later as well, it's still fine as long as you tag the piece with the day it was meant for (#KLAW Day 1, #KLAW Day 2, etc).

Any content is welcome! Fanfic, fanart, edits, moodboards, meta, interactive media, headcanons, character appreciation... anything! As long as it celebrates Liam as a character, focuses on him and shows positive depictions of him. We also accept WIPs and a specific day (Throwback) is set aside just for past pieces on Liam. If you like, you can even tell us about the process of creating that piece!

Make sure you tag @kingliamappreciationweek in your posts, as well as the hosts @lizzybeth1986 and @sazanes in your content so we don't miss it! It would also make it easier to track if you use the tags #kingliamappreciationweek and #KLAW in your posts as an extra precaution.

Various fan content blogs have helped in promoting our weeks and also run great events on a weekly/monthly basis. We would definitely love for our participants to check them out in case they'd like to be part of those too: @choicesficwriterscreations, @choicesmonthlychallenge, @choicespride, @choicesprompts, @choicesholidays, @choicescommunityevents).

Once the week is officially over, we will keep a bonus week for participants who have trouble sending content during the week itself. Additionally, this blog will be open for entries all year round!

We have about a month to get ready for KLAW, and we're super excited to see what our fellow Liam fans might have in store! See you all in November!!

Buttercup Vet Commissions!

This is my new pup Buttercup that I adopted with my best bud, and she is already a wonderful part of the family. Problem is, the shelter we got her from assured us she was over giardia.... but she wasn't. And because it is a pre-existing condition, pet insurance won't cover anything.

Buttercup has had treatment for the last month and a half and is slowly getting better, but she needs to see the vet again to test her stool and see if it is cleared, or if there is another problem. Which may mean more intensive, and expensive treatment... and the lab alone is $87.70, the initial appointment was $79, and each round of medication has been at or around has been $58.15 weekly... It is already difficult to make rent, but not impossible yet. And since we can't rely on pet insurance, we will not be able to afford her treatment if it ends up being specialty or long term.

SO, to make up for this, I am opening sketch commissions. These will be cleaned up sketches only with suggested prices, but really they are "pay what you want". But keep in mind: the more you pay, the more detail I will put into the art.

First and preferred option is the headshots. $20 is the suggested price, but I will take anything over $15... but rendering will only be added if the donation is over $30. And if you want to throw in more, I will happily add a simple background

If you'd like to get full bodies, I can draw those too. Generally I double the price of what would be a headshot, and additional characters are +50%

ALL donations regardless of size will get a small doodle at LEAST unless specified. The examples provided are for reduced commission amounts of money.

If you can't donate, I would highly appreciate a signal boost, every little bit helps...

I take PayPal*, and Ko-fi: Dyad-of-Fate but I am willing to look at other options.

*If you use PayPal, PLEASE specify if it is a commission (goods and service only) or a donation. PayPal can lock accounts for not being properly marked.

Again, thank you for any help that can be given...

Only 10 days left on this (sucks there was a time limit at all to put on it), but I'd appreciate if anyone else could donate a bit if possible or spread around!

Matteo bass stabilized a bit for now thankfully with many medications and daily monitoring/care, and I'm glad he made it to Christmas at the least. It's been a rough year tho, so any help is enthusiastically appreciated!

Thank you for what you could give so far anyway!

Finally got on setting up a pool for Matteo’s vet bills bc it’s been hard to keep up with work while I’ve been so emotionally drained trying to watch and spend time with him since Sep.  He’s our baby boy but also expensive. 

I kept being unsure how to set one up with the PayPal changes but it still has a fundraiser option I guess. It only lasts for a month tho. $3,000 is just the rough estimate of how much his bills have cost since Sep and I’m waaay behind on covering losses… Anything helps. Pls spread if you can.

Get ready for our second edition of Lily Spencer Appreciation Week!!

Last year, we kicked off Halloween with this week. This year, we celebrate Lily's love for gaming by hosting it on Video Game Day - July 8th!

Smart, funny, sexy, resilient...there are a whole range of words one could use to describe Lily. She is the bright spot in a story that can turn very dark very fast. She's also brave and willing to fight for people with less privilege, as we can clearly see from the way she chooses to be part of the Shadow Den rather than any of the Clans in BB1.

We hope you can join us in celebrating this wonderful character! Here are our themes for the days during the week:

Day 1 - July 8th - Video Games/Character Appreciation

Day 2 - July 9th - Supernatural/Throwback

Day 3 - July 10th - Pop Culture/Missing Moments**

Day 4 - July 11th - Relationships*/AU

Day 5 - July 12th - Shadow Den

* By "relationships", we mean both platonic and romantic.

** By "missing moments" we mean scenes that weren't shown from the MC's perspectives and are only implied, eg. what did Lily and Kamilah do when the MC travelled with Adrian and Jax to Paris?

Any and all content is welcome!! Fic, art, edits, moodboards, gifs, meta, headcanons... everything goes! Our only requirement is that the pieces should be centered around Lily, and feature her in a positive way. WIPs and Throwback pieces are also welcome.

Be sure to tag @lilyspencerappreciationweek, and hosts @lizzybeth1986 and @sazanes in your posts. Also make sure that you tag your posts with #lilyspencerappreciationweek and #LSAW, along with the day you intend the posts for. This is to make sure we don't miss any of your posts!

A lot of fan community blogs will be running some great events around this time, and we highly encourage you to check them out! @choicesficwriterscreations, @choicesmonthlychallenge, @choicesholidays, @choicesprompts, @choicespride, @choicesflashfics, @choicescommunityevents. If there are any other Choices fan content blogs you would like us to tag, let us know!

For those who would want to take a look at last year's AW masterlist, here it is!!

Hope to see all you Lily fans next month!!

SIGNAL BOOST!!!

This is a post for our friend Moise. Moise is Trans. Moise does not know yet if they are male or female, because Moise has not yet been given the opportunity to figure it out for themselves.

They are in a difficult and dangerous situation. Moise is living in a refugee camp with a group of activists who are currently being persecuted and even attacked for their beliefs, about gender and sexuality.

Money is scarce and Moise is struggling to buy food and supplies in the refugee camp currently. They can use any and all help that we can give.

Below is Moise's story in their own words:

"Hello friends,

I am Moisse ,a member and an activist of the LGBTIQ refugees in the community of Kakuma Kenya Refugee camp located in the northern Turkana region, looking for support to help the LGBTIQ family and also children .

We are LGBTIQ also living with kids in the refugee camp starving and passing through the homophobic situation.

Unfortunately the environment of the camp is so hostile for us, we are having regular attacks and injuries inflicted upon us .

We desperately need your help in order to survive and thrive in this situation please.

Me as a transgender I moved from my mother country Uganda because I was facing alot of hatred and for me I wasn't ready to change who I am and our president doesn't allow lgbtiq persons in my country .

In Uganda my family was killed by the community members ,I managed to escape death and I had no other option other than joining a camp in Kenya to seek for asylum .

We shall appreciate any hands that will decide to support us please ."

Anything you give will be highly appreciated. Even $5 helps a ton. Thank you. We will be sending proceeds directly to Moise. If you wish to reach out to Moise yourself to donate, click here for their Tumblr link. Sharing also helps! Reblogs are greatly appreciated!

Thanks again for anything you can offer!!!! It means a lot!! <3

- Updated Commission Sheets as of January 2023 -

Happy new year! 🎉

I’m a little nervous charging this much after prices have been fairly low for so long but I felt like I was deeply undercharging, especially for bigger and more complicated pieces/character designs. And since it’s the new year, I figured I’d do em now :) There might be adjustments later on for things like additional characters or backgrounds, but with work around the corner and eventually losing a lot of the time I would normally dedicate to commissions, I felt more comfortable sacrificing the frequency of them if it meant I could be paid more for it.

As for other changes, I wanted to introduce a rendered color option for customs. Commission quality coloring and getting a character designs for you, it seemed like a great idea 😌 I also now take Venmo as a payment option since I got it set up months ago so if you prefer that, go for it!

I’m still doing the 5 slot system but they might be the only slots I’ll be taking around February when commissions become a lot more scarce. I will say though that large payments (like $300+ in the rare case anything EVER goes that high) can be separated out into smaller payments, you just won’t get the file until it’s fully paid for.

If you have any questions, just let me know and signal boosting is highly appreciated while I get work sorted out 😌

And here’s a clickable link to my kofi :)

Oh and if you don’t wanna DM me, you can always email me at honeybeeillustrates@gmail.com

Hey besties! My job is going great, been working since April 18th. Only problem? I will not see my first paycheck until the 10th. I am out of food, and I'm not going to have enough to get me to work until then, which I need. PayPal below.

Any help or reblogs, signal boosts, anything works.

Thank you

Welcome to our third edition of Sloane Washington Appreciation Week!! This gorgeous, adorable, kick-ass, incredibly relatable woman with her love for science, her admiration for ambitious, knowledgeable women and her endless capacity for bravery - she's been such an integral part of the Perfect Match story 💜

Every year, we try to celebrate her around Feb 11th, which is International Day of Women and Girls in Science. This year's themes are a mix of some of the previous years, along with some exciting new ones! We hope you're inspired by them.

This event will be held from February 11th to 15th. Any content is welcome, as long as it is Sloane-focused and shows a positive depiction! Fanfic, fanart, meta, edits, moodboards, playlists, headcanons, interactive media - even simple appreciation posts and screenshots of fave scenes will be great!

Here's a list of the themes we have for SWAW 2024:

Day 1 (Feb 11th) - Women in STEM/Girl Power

Day 2 (Feb 12th) - Written in the Stars

Day 3 (Feb 13th) - Throwback/Character Appreciation/Friendships

Day 4 (Feb 14th) - Happy Valentines Day!

Day 5 (Feb 15th) - Hobbies/Pets

It isn't absolutely necessary to post content only on the day of the theme! We often accept pieces even when sent on a later date, and also keep a bonus week in case you couldn't finish your pieces during the week. We also don't mind WIPs, so if you have one that is Sloane-centric... we'd LOVE to see it!! We also love throwback pieces, so if you have any that you made previously, do reblog them and tag us!

We also will be accepting pieces after the event is over, and all year round until the next SWAW! So even if you have your post ready much later, please don't hesitate to tag us! 🤗

in Edmonton, there's going to be another two protests tomorrow. one is at the University of Alberta's South Academic Building (at 12:00 PM) and one is at Edmonton's city hall (at 12:30 PM). support & signal boosting for these would be highly appreciated.

the Instagram post I'll be linking (https://www.instagram.com/p/C67jBlfJ_o6) explains this more, but U of A students + staff are being asked to support the SAB rally first. otherwise, attend the city hall & city council meeting protest.

this meeting is tangibly related to the U of A encampments, as they were broken up three days ago by the Edmonton Police Service who used violence & tear gas against people. EPS wants more money from the City of Edmonton.

also, there will be a sit-in at the U of A on Wednesday! I will send more details about that in a separate ask.

BG3 Fan Survey - Update #1

Hello folks!

It's been almost 24 hours since the survey went live and already I've gotten 772 responses as of checking it at the time I'm making this post.

So far, I've gotten the most responses for it from the Tumblr post, my Reddit and Twitter posts have not gotten much responses. I would highly appreciate helping to give my twitter over at @bg3fansurvey a lil signal boost so I can get more responses. I would also appreciate sharing on any other social media I've not mentioned, especially since I don't have a public tiktok and I'm not in every bg3 discord server that's out there.

compared to the analytics that larian themselves have publicized, where a total of 1.3 million players have completed the game,

the data I've gathered so far is by no means completely representative of the player base as a whole.

With that said, thought I'll share the data I've managed to gather so far.

From the 772 responses received, 6 responded no to having completed BG3 beyond Act 1

which means only 766 of the responses received are viable.

moving on, the demographics so far is overwhelmingly cis women

this pretty much reflects tumblr's demographics more so

as for sexuality, majority are bisexual / pansexual

now we get to what most people are interested in, companion romance preferences

in terms of total companion engagement, astarion is currently in the lead, followed by gale in 2nd and karlach in 3rd

as for favourite companion to romance, astarion is also currently in the lead, followed by gale in 2nd, and shadowheart and karlach tied for 3rd

my hopes is that as I receive more responses and data to work with, i can do more specific analysis such as which companions are popular among which demographic

thank you for entertaining this nerd and I would appreciate any help in signal boosting the survey in my attempt in getting the most representative data possible.

Hello ! I am a Palestinian academic educator from Gaza, seeking your urgent support in time of bad need. I am trying to reach out to generous donors or contributors to help get my family out of the hell of the war to safety and peace. The war turned our life up side down and turned us from having everything to having nothing. Our house and livelihood business have been lost due to the war and my whole family became homeless and displaced in a very small tent under the sunny hot weather. No place to shelter my family and no income to live on. Life has become unbelievably harsh and tough. That is why I am asking your kind support. Please don't leave us alone in such tragic and catastrophic circumstances. My family is in bad need to your contribution, either through directly donating whatever you can or through sharing my link. Your assistance is highly appreciated and welcome.

Hello!

I'm publishing your ask here, and I've added the link to your campaign in case it doesn't publish through your ask. Please help them out if you can -- and please signal boost either way. Hopefully we can help get Mr Ayyad's family to safety!

(this gorgeous poster is the work of our wonderful co-host @sazanes!!)

Welcome to our second edition of the Hana Lee Appreciation Week!! We celebrated it in the first week of October last year, but this time - such World Music Day falls on 21st June - we've decided to shift our appreciation week to a slightly earlier date. After all, music is one of Hana's first great loves! 💞💞💞

Last year, we held our first ever HLAW, and every single entry we received for it was a sheer slice of perfection!! We just can't wait to see what Hana stans have in store for us this year!!

As always, this week is about celebrating Hana Lee in all her glory and her complexity - her passions, her kindness, her confusions, her own journey to healing and confidence. We love every facet of her, and this week is dedicated to showcasing ALL of them!

Certain days will have two themes - you can choose either one for your content, or even do a combination of both! Any content is welcome - fanfic, fanart, edits, moodboards, meta, playlists, icons...even screenshots of your favourite scenes of Hana!! We also accept WIPs so if you're not able to complete the piece on time, you can always show us a WIP of the piece you were working on! As long as the content is focused on Hana and shows a positive depiction of her, the sky's the limit!

These are the themes we have in store for HLAW 2023:

19th June - Throwback

20th June - Skills vs Passions/Chocolate!

21st June - Music/AU

22nd June - Relationships*/Homes

23rd June - Hana's Perfect Wedding! (Small note about this theme here)

For Throwback typically, we accept old pieces on Hana, and invite the creators to briefly tell us about the process of creating their piece. Here's a throwback questionnaire you can use if you like!

The themes are meant to be inspirations for your writing - it isn't completely essential for you to send content for a particular day only specifically for that day. You can always send it later as long as you tag it with the day you meant the work for!

Make sure you tag @hanaleeappreciationweek in your content as well as co-hosts @lizzybeth1986 and @sazanes. Tag your posts with #hanaleeappreciationweek and #HLAW (along with days #HLAW Day 1, #HLAW Day 2, etc) as well so we don't miss any of your pieces!

For inspiration, take a look at our HLAW 2022 masterlist!!

Various fan content blogs also enthusiastically promote our events and have tons of fun events of their own during these months, so we highly recommend you check them out: @choicesficwriterscreations, @choicesflashfics, @choicesholidays, @choicespride, @choicesprompts, @choicesmonthlychallenge, @drake-walker-appreciation, @maxwell-beaumont-appreciation.

Once the week officially ends on 23rd June, we will keep the blog open for a bonus week, for anyone who struggles to finish their content during the week itself.

More than a month is left before HLAW begins, and we are SO excited to see what Hana fans will come up with!! See you all in June!
