how am I supposed to be friends with everyone in the world when there's such little time to talk to them all

[luwha]

LMAO so, recently someone tried to SCAM me, so i'll show you what happened and the telltales of it being a scam.

This one is quite obvious but i know people who are just starting their artist careers and might not have experiece.

Follow the thread:

🚩#1: They pick your most famous/Popular art as reference. They don't know what you actually sell.

🚩#2: They will pick a random popular character. They're not roleplayers or anything. They're not here for the art in any level

You ask me, what are the odds they really like Goku? Oh, well, you'll see. At this point i check their profile for anythign that might indicate it, but as you'll see you won't have to.

🚩#3: They say they saw my ToS. On it i state i only work with paypal and google forms.

🚩#4: Random issue with payment method. They might have a real problem with it, but see; they'll never ever accept any other payment method, such as Zelle, CashApp, Payoneer, Ko-fi, etc.

I already knew this drill so, let's continue.

🚩#5: I love playing dumb lmao. Anyway, this scam revolves on them either sending you "too much money" and asking it back or something like it. I won't be following through because i know it'll be annoying.

BE ADAMANT WITH YOUR METHODS. Do NOT EVER bend them for randos.

🚩#6: They're so ready with the info on how the payment works it's fucking funny.

The reason I PERSONALLY use PayPal INVOICES (no any other payment within paypal) is that they're safe for both me and my client. My rules are stated clearly.

MAKE A ToS I BEG YOU YOUNG ARTIST

🚩#7: They're not even a good scammer lmao they REFUSE to go on my PROFILE to get a link or read anything.

I use Forms because it collects the client requests and it's easier for me to read it all in one place. It ALSO makes scammers bored.

🚩#8: They're so disinterested on the art they don't care for posing, vibes, colors, nothing. Again, they're NOT here for art. That's hilarious.

🚩#8: Same as above. They don't care for posing or anything.

On my art they link me, i have a vampire almost staking himself in a state of euphoria.

IMAGINE VAMPIRE GOKU STAKING HIMSELF THAT'S SO FUCKIGN FUNNY MY BRO, THINK YOUR SCAM THROUGH MAYBE

🚩#9: They will price your own work for you. And they'll overshot what we, smaller artists, charge for it.

They'll overshot by a lot.

They want you to be impressed and showing "generosity" usually gets people who need monay into risky situations. That's just plain cruel.

🚩#9: Same as above. Over generosity and eagerness to pay.

They're not even with the sketch, this haven't been an hour, they don't have any work form me but OH GOD they're SO READY to pay you NEED TO KNOW they WANTS TO PAY YOU SO BAD

Lmao yeah it's working out ❤️

THIS ONE IS JUST HILARIOUS BRO I CAN'T EVEN.

ANYWAY let's continue

🚩#10: They don't know me. They don't follow me. They broke every rule on my ToS. They're making me go through a payment method i am unfamiliar and don't use.

They don't care for my process. They're not interested on my sketch.

BE. ADAMANT. ABOUT. YOUR. RULES. AND. PROCESS.

Now, for the beautiful closure of this:

Have a ToS. Don't bend the rules for randos.

Use Invoices. Be sure you're safe.

Use forms if you'd like. Requests through DM and Discord ARE COMMON FOR OTHER ARTISTS. I personally don't like it, i have ADHD.

Being an artist on an online space is dangerous. If you need help, poke an artist you know, see how they operate and if it fits you. Most of them would help you.

🚩#11: goku isn't even on their icon 😭

This is the account that tried to scam me.

#art is life ❤️

"Tell your favorite creators that you like their work, people usually enjoy things silently, but hate tends to be loud"

This is a phrase I just heard from Dnd shorts that captures perfectly why I often try to make the effort of commenting on posts and telling people that I enjoy their work and why Even to small creators, I advice everyone to make the extra effort to tell them, I can guarantee it makes all the difference in the world, it's not cringy or obnoxious, it'll just brighten someone's day

losing my actual mind rn

i had this interaction in the dropout discord (i am the first and third person). short. simple. i only got the first year bc of a discount + a gift card i had, so i was planning on using this person's suggestion.

then, i got this.

oh my god!! how nice!! how sweet!!! how thoughtful!! i gave them my email and they sent over a subscription, i thanked them profusely. i was very grateful, very touched.

hours and hours later i was still thinking about it and i recalled how, in the email id gotten about it, it said "tao yang sent you a subscription" and id seen that and thought "oh haha like the tao yang" and then moved on

but now, thinking back, i was like.... theres no way, so i googled tao yang.

......

TAO YANG BOUGHT ME A FUCKING ANNUAL DROPOUT SUBSCRIPTION

Sexually harassing proshippers does not give you a moral high ground. Sending rape threats to proshippers does not give you a moral high ground. Spreading real CSAM/CSEM to proshippers does not give you a moral high ground.

Antis who accuse proshippers of sex crimes and then turn around to do these things? Clearly, fantasizing about rape and CSA is not their problem.

All this aroace character shipcourse has proven to me that a majority of people that interact in fandom cannot actually interact with characters and media outside of shipping and genuinely I believe you need to learn how to interact with media outside of shipping.

No typing quirk because this a serious post. Please, please tag your NSFT posts when you post them in the Radqueer tags. Like, even just "RQ NSFT" is fine. Just please give your followers and those scrolling the tags a way to filter out the NSFT content. There are sex-repulsed beings, there are chrono adults who do not want to see chrono minors being sexual and vice versa, there are age regressors+ that do not want to see NSFT content when they are little. I'm not going to argue on this; I'm just asking to please tag your NSFT content. If you truly claim to be accepting of all and want to promote inclusion, this is a good idea. Thank you, Kyumi & Hyr System

tag yourself or don’t i am all of them because i said so

i dunno how to caption !! This is absolutely one of my favourite Bill 'human' designs and its created by the AMAZING ARTIST THAT'S COOL @donniipao :3

I'll definitely be drawing more of this version of Bill cause i am very normal about it (not in the freaky way though, god forbid 🙏)

What happens to a guy right before exploding and putting their own ideas all up in everybody's face.

[cozy-the-overlord]

Something small I really liked in Thunderbolts is how when John starts calling Bob “Bobby,” it’s clear that Bob does not like it but he doesn’t make a big deal out of it or protest it too much - you see that once John starts doing it he just accepts that it’s going to happen and suppresses any feelings about it, and it’s not something that the movie focuses on very much at all. Then, at the end, the reveal comes that his abusive father called him Bobby, and again, the film does not linger on that very much and it’s not brought up again, but John noticeably stops calling him Bobby — he refers to him only as “Bob” for the rest of the movie.

And I just really appreciate how in the background that thread is allowed to be? A lot of films would have probably tried to beat the audience over the head with it, because subtlety and mainstream film haven’t been getting along very much these days and a lot of scripts feel that if they don’t directly state what they’re trying to say out loud to the camera, the viewers won’t get it. I can easily imagine a version where after that reveal a character goes “is that why you don’t like being called Bobby?” because the film is too insecure to let the moment speak for itself, and then that completely takes away the impact of the reveal because you lose John’s immediate silent understanding and choice to change on his own. I know it’s a really small thing, but still. It was refreshing to see filmmakers trust their story to speak for itself.

Charlie and Abby from Nancy Drew's Message in a Haunted Mansion

These games were the soundtrack to my childhood, and as I’ve sought comfort these past months, I’ve been replaying them to find peace ☕️ I drew these a hot minute ago with the intention of redesigning all the characters from every game - ambitious. Maybe it’ll be completed in a decade or two…

I saw staff promoted your snake drawing! That's so cool!

I'm honestly still stunned by the feature! What a way to start off the new year!
