Lars and and Stevonnie baking! He's probably talking about some baking nerd stuff.
Commission for @e350tb! Thank you so much for the patience!
I've been drawing/thinking about Stevonnie with Steven and Connie's wedding rings fused together, but it's just here where it was settled how it would look like. Personally think it looking like puzzle pieces made sense. So thank you also for letting me incorporating that detail in your commission!

hello everyone! i know it is strange for me to open emergency commission again but it's because my parents couldnt fulfill their end of getting money for the big loan (the one that harassed me) so i have to open this again so that i dont get harrassed. im sorry again but i have to, so that i can atleast sleep just a little more peacefully
i am on a time crunch (i have to pay it off before the 22nd of each month) so i will be opening 6 slots! please do commission if you can, or if you dont want to commission but want to still help there's also my ko-fi
if you are unable to do both that is okay too! please do share this post because im genuinely in a time crunch and getting harassed again isn't something i look forward to haha-
thank you for hearing me again, im sorry i have to do this again
6/6 slot filled!
EDIT: even after the 22nd, the loan is still looming overhead, to anyone who wants to commission, this commmission isn't close until the slots are filled
EDIT: i have paid off the loan till november! thank you so much everyone, i only have two months left; again thank you for all of your support!!

🦂Commission Slots Open: NOVEMBER!🦂
As you know, art is my only job rn and in order to support myself I figured I need to be fulfilling at least 4 or 5 comms a month.
Was aiming to take a bit of a break this mo th but funds are very low. I still have lots of prints available instead as well!
Currently 2 commission slots available rn!
Details in my carrd as usual. DM me if interested :)
Also prints and stickers available on my etsy (you can DM me directly for them so not to go through etsy) and my inprnt which will help with daily costs etc. Also able to take print requests to make prints for a design you want that isn't already in my et/sy shop, for a bit extra. See pinned post for more detail about prints.
Thanks sm 💖
#Hello September!#Pls for the love of God don't wreck me like last year. Don't wanna spiral yet#Anyway comms are still going! 3 spaces now!#And I hope to make a print of ravenous art soon once I get more stable income#In the meantime hopefully expect more ravenous but also working on more general oc and original stuff#And perhaps some red dead.... Since I've started playing that

‼️HELP A HOMELESS ARTIST ‼️
Reblogs are greatly appreciated! :")
Making a new post because my family and I are in dire need of help. My name is Link, I'm a 22 y/o artist and since November 2021, my family and I have been homeless and living in a motel. Since neither of us had our documents or IDs when we first got here, it was up to me to open commissions to support us. Although my father has his id now, getting a job out in the mountains where we don't have transportation or a way for them to contact us is very difficult. Until that changes, we're still dependant on my commissions to help us through paying for rent and soon food, as this is our last month of food stamps due to the policies here.
This week and especially this month has been super tough on us since work has gone down for me tremendously. There's been weeks were we can't pay and owe upwards of 100$+ every other day since it adds up so quickly. There are days where if we didn't have food stamps, we wouldn't have any food at all and since it's ending soon, I'm hoping this will help me find some more work to care of my family with. Right now our situation is urgent. We need 250$ to cover for tomorrow and we don't have anything as of yet. If we can't have everything paid for by tomorrow, we will be kicked out and since families on both sides have cut us off both communication and money wise, it doesn't look good if that happens.
So, all my slots are open for anyone who's interested in helping us out! I'm a primarily DnD/fantasy themed artist. I mainly draw Dragon Age centered art but I've also done work of Baldurs Gate 3 tavs and other DnD related stuff as well! I can also work outside of fantasy, I've done all things from simple portrait commissions to furries to even dragons, I'm flexible with most things. The only thing I won't do is sexual nudity since I'm not particularly educated enough to draw that sorta stuff yet. Payment will be upfront since our situation is extremely dire at the moment and in turn since we have to use the money we get immediately for rent and soon enough food, no refunds can be given back so please take that into consideration. I'm all for making changes if you aren't happy with how a piece is turning out.
My prices will be below! Thank you to all that sees this and helps either through reblogging or commissioning me, it always means a lot to my family and I! :")
~Prices~
Sketch (price depending on type of sketch) - base price of 15$
Sketch page - 15$ per sketch
Headshot - 25$ (+10$ if shaded)

dsmp writing commissions
hello, i have decided to open up writing commissions!! i will have three slots open on a first come first serve basis. i am only offering dsmp at this time. just dm me your prompt and i will answer asap so we can work out details!
the general expectation will be a 5k-10k word fic set at the price of 30 dollars. i would ask for 15 upfront and the other 15 once i have completed and sent the fic. i can send it through google docs, some sort of word document, or email. whatever your preference is fine.
expect the fic to take about a month from the day you commission it. so if you commissioned it today, october 19th, expect it sometime november 19th.
i have venmo, cashapp, and paypal. i prefer cashapp and venmo, but i can use paypal in the circumstances that you cannot use the other two.
will not write: pedophilia, incest, explicit sex, rpf (unless it's funny), and i reserve the right to refuse any commission on any grounds even ones not stated here.
will write: basically anything else. obviously the characters i'm most comfortable writing are crimeboys, but i've written plenty of others without issue and i can watch a vod if i'm really struggling with voice. i know this is vague so if you're unsure or need clarification, just ask.
if you have never read my writing and want to know if it's what you're looking for, there is a link in my pinned to view it. thank you so much!

"As a new Faz-Trainee, you are mandated to be taught by our new and improved Helpi model."
In 3 Lives at Freddy's: Follow The Yellow Rabbit you will have a new buddy throughout it all, say hello to Helpi! He's a great conversationalist and a great source of information for your new job. He'll learn how to best suit your needs as he learns more about you, way better than any in-person job training!
WELCOME BACK TO 3LAF!!! With 3LAF: GOLDEN THREAD ENDING IN SEPTEMBER, ITS TIME TO TEASE THE NEXT!!! If joining a Minecraft Third Life server based fully on fnaf and a unique fnaf mod interests you then I'm happy to announce that Invites are open yet again for 3LAF:FTYR! Before you do ask to join or if you want more information then I do suggest looking at our posts for the first 3LAF (Introduction, Animatronic Reveal) and 3LAF:Golden Thread (Introduction 2, Animatronic Reveal 2, Structure Reveal) to get a good vibe on what its about, although both may have incorrect information as they are older! For FTYR we will be having a fun fnaf twist on the Boogeyman mechanic which will be explained in the next teaser more specifically!!! FTYRs start date is around mid-november to december at its latest and will run every saturday from 1PM to 6PM pst (It is that long so people can join late and or take breaks, you do not have to stay for all 5 hours and you may join late into the time <3) 20 out of the 36 slots are currently full so there is plenty of space to come join in as either a player, spectator or backup player, send me a tumblr message asking to join and bam if slots are up then you're in! A note for any players who are wanting in, you got to have a skin that is at least a little vaguely tied to fnaf and I heavily recommend making a character for when you play in sessions, a lot of players use this opportunity to do a lot of roleplay and make silly guys (I suggest looking at the #3laf #3laf-gt and i think #3laf art tag as there you can see a lot of the players FUCKING BANGER ART AND CHARACTERS I LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH!!!!)
Regardless, thank you for reading!!! I am the sole modder that makes this mod so it's very very fun to be able to show my work in these silly little teasers, on a more developer side: Coding Helpi has been such a pleasure and such a nightmare, i've had to rewrite his code twice... the second time I fully coded his main system and as soon as a celebrated it all got corrupted... only Helpi got corrupted which was quite ironic. I'm giving this one an extra month and a half as I don't want to burnout on developing but I've been having a very silly time with what I have been coding, I'm very excited to see people go silly with all the new stuff!!!! <3 <3 <3

I'll have 4 slots open each month
If you decide to pay via ko-fi, don't forget to enter NOV20 at checkout <333

Name: Alvis Winter
Nicknames: Al (gose by Al mostly) 113 (called by eggman when he was in his controle)
Language: default is English (He is Polyglot so he can speak any language)
D.O.B: Unknown but was born in The War to Take Back the Planet (Sonic Forces) but guessed to be in November
Species: Fox (Genetically modified)
Age: 13 (depends on when story is, some could be him in 20s but looks mostly the same)
Gender: Male
Hight: 106cm
Alignment: True Neutral / Chaotic Neutral
Abilitys: Teleportation, electricity (He's resistant to electricity. Just cant control it. But can direct thru his gauntlets) (more but not gonna say)
Skills: Smart, Good fighting (hand to hand and weapons), Engineer/Electrician, Tech, Baking, musical instruments, Mimic voices, Parkour/Gymnastics/Brake dance
Team: Team Sonic. But work alone and with others to help. Has worked with G.U.N and other Teams
Info: Alvis (Al) use to be known as 113 was once pronounced as a missing child presumed dead before a altercation as 113 with Sonic reviling the hold time he was in Eggmans captivity. Since Eggman let him go and was found 3 months later in the mountains living out a crashed G.U.N cargo plane. He's slowly getting a somewhat normal life with team sonic. Giving inside of working for Robotnic, why he is purple ect but keeps something still to himself. Like birthdays and why he tenses up around the mayor's wife. Almost like he is holding back anger. Alvis most open with Miles "Tails" Prower. Being when was he was 5 they did meet and found out he was a HUGE and still is a Tails fan. But Tails has mentioned how he was in Eggmans position in the first place was he was sold. But is keeping alot secrate. What els dose Alvis know. What els, he has the memories of the 4 who's DNA was used to chnage Als DNA and give powers?
Edit: That last thing. Yes. Said he had identity problem and even others saying for example "Sonic" Alvis would react like you said his name, and was mentioned he hallucinates seeing one of the 4 or all 4 at the same time. Can feel how it Felt being super in space, How the space ark food tasted, How lonly it is on angel island and how it feels to bullied to then find someone who accepts you and treats u like a brother
(This is a AU.)
Yet a nother awesome peace from @catragemiau they did a amazing job with my Sonic OC and got a charicter sheet.
I cant stress anuff that @catragemiau is worth every penny! If you want art at grate quality! @catragemiau is the one!
(Pls leave a slot for me to get art tho 🥺)
I can just go on for days about this! This is my 2nd art from them. And just like last time. So happy.
((Should mention. These are all versions. I'm kinda just re using the look of past versions of Al in my AU))
V1 (first ever alvis back in 06)(IRL 06)
V2 (pre experimented Alvis)
V3 (half way thru fur changing colour)
V4
Sonic Prime AU
--Carbine-- --Captain Iceberg-- --Savage--
Sonic Riders
Sonic Boom AU

🎃 October status update
Alright! finished organizing all the commissions and on informing everyone of what place they got!
here's the commission progress tracker, now with this new batch included , the previous batch can still be seen also!
As a bit of a remainder, I put at the top the commissions with less characters involved and at the bottom the ones with more ( and if they have background), this way I start with relatively more simple requests and I work on the more complex ones as I progress.
The new batch is now is for the last 3 months, because even if finishing it on 2 months would be the ideal, there's still a possibility I take a little longer, but also because it's still quite a big batch lol
Originally I really wanted to finish these in one month and I wasn't going to open so many slots for the sketch page so I had November and December free. But I changed my mind for a couple of reasons, 😅 still I would like to have at least December very free, so I'll do my best to finish most of these before December is here ╰( ̄ω ̄o)
🎃 August /September commissions
- As for the batch I got on August, I'm almost finished! there's one illustration commission to finish and technically 3 and a half sketch pages to finish, which I hope I can mostly complete this week so the next one I can start with the new batch!
I haven't decided yet when I'll be opening commissions again next year, I want to be able to use my portfolio next year so I'll have to think about it and plan things up for sure! ^^ though I have some ideas for maybe new commission types, but we'll see!
that's all for now, hope you have a nice evening and a nice October!

Emergency Commission Sales
I- don’t know where to begin.
This started as a vet bill fund, but now the situation is just- so much worse, because when I arrived at work yesterday, I was told I am being let go. They were extremely unclear as to why exactly, but as I live in an at-will state, it doesn’t really matter.
I have no job, a massive vet bill to pay, a wisdom tooth coming in, and a car with no heat going into winter.
I don’t really know what I’m going to do beyond the immediate coverage of vet bills, because I submitted over 140 applications with no response before I finally heard back from this place- there are just more people looking for jobs than there are jobs remotely near where I live, but I can’t afford to survive, much less move.
Financial Details: One of my cats has one, possibly two abscessed teeth that need removed. I paid $260 for a vet visit, blood work, and antibiotics. I got the quote for what surgery will cost this morning, and they are estimating between $1,175 - $1,715, depending on if he needs both teeth taken out or just one.
I have been putting off my own wisdom tooth removal while I saved up for it, because it will cost $1,100
I don’t know how much it will cost to fix the heat in my car for winter.
My monthly expenses are $460/month because the cost of my medication has gone up after my sliding scale application was denied. I still have to pay $380 of those monthly expenses for November.
As of now, if I forgo my own dental care entirely, and empty my savings entirely, that will still leave me -$851 in the red. Anything that does not go to covering this month’s expenses and Severus’s vet fees will go to either next month’s expenses, or to saving for my own dental needs.
I will be figuring out a more sustainable plan over the next few days, but my current focus is on the immediate issue in front of me.
For the immediate moment, I am offering the following:
25% off my kofi shop using the code SEVVYTEETH . This goes until the end of the month. https://ko-fi.com/skyjynx/link/SEVVYTEETH
3 Commission Slots I will be opening 3 commission slots for ANY TYPE on my price sheet: https://skyjynx.carrd.co/#pricing Those 3 pieces will be started once I finish my current owed art [https://trello.com/b/TCd6yTnL/art-queue] (everything in ‘currently working on’) When those are all finished, I will open 3 more slots. I am more than happy to draw your OCs, your blorbos from games/tv/etc, or even spicy content (*some kinks at my discretion, but feel free to ask!)
REMINDER: Kofi & patreon subscribers have access to discounted pricing which can be found here: https://skyjynxcomms.carrd.co/
If you'd like to claim a commission slot you can do so by DM
If you just wanna toss some money my way, I do have a ko-fi for tips: https://ko-fi.com/skyjynx

November Commissions Open
Hey there, I’m Charlie!
I’m a college student, taking any extra money I can make, so I’m opening 5 commissions slots a month for original works.
You can either message me on Tumblr or email me at [email protected]. I find it easier to send it through Ko-Fi, which I’ll send a link to. I will send a finished first draft for the client to look over to see if anything needs to be added or removed. Please keep in mind that there might be a time difference in communication. I will ask for details. If you want a story with your OCs, it will be incredibly helpful to have a description of these OCs.
I will possibly crosspost the commission on Tumblr and AO3, unless requested not to, and you will receive a PDF version of your story. You are allowed to crosspost it yourself if credit is given back to me. I do have the right to deny anything that makes me uncomfortable.
There will be a $5 discount if the story requested is for any of my prior writings.
Prices below:
500-1000 words- $5
1000-2000 words- $10
2000-3000 words- $15
3000-4000 words- $20
4000-5000 words- $25
5000-6000 words- $30
6000-7000 words- $35
7000-8000 words- $40
8000-9000 words- $45
9000-10000 words- $50
10000-11000 words- $55
11000-12000 words- $60
12000-13000 words- $65
13000-14000 words- $70
14000-15000 words- $75
For longer wordcounts we can discuss.
Thank you!
At the suggestion of a commissioner who I refunded because I was uncomfortable with their story (they were super understanding and I’m thankful for that), here’s a list of things I am uncomfortable writing:
Hate art
Rape, non-con, and dub-con
Super massive gore
Incest
Pedophilia
Kink with farting/pee/poop, foot/armpit

Web Update #3: Final Gallery Section & Commission Updates!
Hello all! Happy Fall! 🍂🍁☕🍄🌰
As the cooler weather approaches, it’s time to bring my big website gallery overhaul to a close with the final (for now) section- the Passion Projects Section! Here I’ve documented 3 of my bigger projects (including my most recent doll of Mr. Dream).
You will find the finished photos, as well as more in-depth commentary on how I made them, materials, fun facts, WIP photos, & more! I hope you will enjoy reading them. Go to beamiesbuddies.com, hit the Gallery > Passion Projects
With that section, my Archive Gallery is more or less complete! As I make more dolls going forward, I will update the galleries from time to time. Follow me on IG and/or Tumblr to see the most recent creations!
Now for the big one- Commission Updates!
As longtime BB fans know, I’ve been opening commissions on a bi-yearly basis, to give myself the summer to finish my own projects (or even -gasp- have other hobbies!) This year, the summer has been focused on beamiesbuddies.com, as well as working on my first new line of original dolls (which I PROMISE I will start sharing soon!)
The summer was also full of activity lifewise for me, most good & some not so much. As such, I’m a little behind where I wanted to be at this time, & more than a little burnt out. I wanted to open up commissions this month for the upcoming holiday season, but being realistic, I don’t think I would be able to deliver my best work with so much still going on/needing finishing. (One of the things needing doing is the shop on this website, after all!)
Therefore: I will be opening commissions as of January 2025, for the winter season. Big apologies to those who wanted to commission me for Xmas gifts & such, but this will allow me to get a good head start on my ready-made dolls & hopefully have them up by late fall in time for holiday gift purchasing time. So you may not get a personalized character, but you could have another very cool original themed doll ;)
November 1st I will be opening up slots for the January commissions, which I will announce at that time. So, if you wanted to grab a gift for a friend, maybe you can give them the gift of a Beamie’s Buddies Custom Commission Slot? 👀
I can’t wait to share my upcoming dolls with you as I think they are looking super cute & I have so many ideas for future ones. In all my years I have never really gotten to let my imagination go & make my own characters, I feel like I’m unlocking new potential as a doll artist.
Thank you all for your lovely support on my work over the years & to come!
Love, Beamie 💖
#beamies buddies#beamie posts#i hope you all have been enjoying the gallery!#next updates will either be the Shop or my new dolls.... or both :3

You know what? Fuck it. It's not worth it. Don't go to Sintra. Everything is crowded. The town is so crowded they had to limit traffic. The Pena Palace is just one big anthill. Whatever your clever trick to skip lines or enjoy the "quiet hours", I promise you will not work. "It's raining tomorrow so I bet there will be less people!" There won't. In fact, not only will it be just as crowded, you now have to stand in line AT LEAST for 45 minutes under the pouring rain with absolutely no shelter. And don't even bother with an umbrella. Don't even bother with checking the weather app before you get there. The Pena Palace has its own climate. Is it drizzling in Sintra with a bit of wind? It's a fucking typhoon up there. You open that umbrella, you're Mary Poppin your ass down the cliff, and if not you, then your umbrella will just quit its sorry life and lift off to glide across the skies amid the tree tops, something I have literally seen every single time I've been there.
"I'll buy the tickets online with a time slot, that'll be easier!" The 11AM time slot today extended for more than a 100 meters at 11.45. My time slot was 10AM and I got in at 10.50.
"I'll go on monday, less people will go on monday!" I promise you literally every tourist in Lisbon who is alive thought the same. Monday is, in fact, extra crowded.
"Sunday, then!" Accept that there are no quiet days in Sintra. Your Tricks To Escape Tourists are actually things every single tourist has thought of. Sintra takes no breaks. You chose the Instagrammer Palace, you're going to waste 2h just standing around, waiting, and then visit the Palace in about 40-45 minutes because the staff there refuse to let anyone stop and breathe or, god forbid, read a fucking plaque or take a picture and treat that shit like goddamn Shawshank with the KEEP WALKING yelling.
"I'll go to THAT other palace then" while there are palaces that are not even a fraction of the chaos that is Pena, I promise you you're not thinking of them. Yes Regaleira is just as chaotic, if not more, you just don't feel it is because it's a fucking massive garden, and you get there and see all these tracks and paths and think "ah! I made the right decision" and then you get to the initiation well and you're back to cursing god
"I will go during low season there's less people then!" I've been hearing these words all month long, only without the exciting ingenuity of someone who truly believes they've cracked the code. Last year I heard the same in October and November. Baby boy. Baby girl. There's no low season. Everything is hell right now. As I keep saying: whatever your clever trick, literally everyone else has thought about it
"I bet just the town is okay" Sintra is a town whose urban layout looks like what happens if a kid comes up with the concept of a city in a shoebox. I don't think most people understand how tiny it is but I think confusion stems from the fact that Sintra is advertised as having beautiful places to visit like Colares and Guincho, which is true, but that's the district. The town, where all the palaces are, is small. The streets are narrow. Think oldest part of Alfama narrow, only in Sintra there's like 4 of them and that's the whole thing. You can literally visit it in one hour. I'm not dishing out on it, it's one of my favourite places and the fact that it's so small adds to the charm for me. But now drop thousands of tourists in there and you're back to that kid designing a city inside a shoebox but now he's actually dropping bugs in it.
And sure, Piriquita isn't that crowded, and you go on the takeway line and there's only two people ahead of you and you think, see this isn't so bad! And then the two people ahead of you are actually a single group of 19 spanish middle aged women who are now, ONLY NOW, deciding what pastries they want, and since they're here, might as well ask what every single one of them are, and oh you're not in a hurry are you? We're gonna be here a while haha. And you just wanted one silly little travesseiro
