Check out my friend for some commissions!

hi everyone!!

to make a long story short, this month i’m facing some financial difficulties as a result of only receiving about half of my usual income, so i’ve decided to offer a discount on commissions for the time being!

i’m currently offering $10 off busts and $15 off my usual half-body prices, and removing the charge for (simple) backgrounds! i will also be opening the floor to mild/suggestive NSFW. please mention this beforehand!

extra characters are still +50%, but i’m willing to negotiate based on character details.

you can also find me on facebook and twitter for other samples; i have stuff scattered everywhere.

contact info: lexiiivee@gmail.com twitter - @zghastt facebook: https://facebook.com/zandrghast

reblogs are greatly appreciated! i may use them as entries for a future raffle, so keep your eyes peeled for that! thank you so much for your support so far. ♥

Playing some more bass, this is the chorus/sax solo line from Bonobo's Stay the Same, simple bass but really good song, I highly recommend checking it out #bass #guitar #music #musician #bonobo #staythesame #dc #maryland #nujazz #downtempo #triphop (at Washington, District of Columbia)

Haven't done it in a while so I sat back and played some Jazz for a few hours. Take Five has always been one of my favorite pieces to play on, so simple, interesting time signatures. A bit rusty, but I can still bust out serviceable bass improv solos when I need to. Really need to find some Jazz places in DC Apologies for my primordial strings sounding horrid and the AC blaring in the background. If I turn it off I will die. #jazz #bass #music #improv #takefive #dc #stringinstrument #brubeck #bassist #🎸

Any time I pass Philly on the train I get a little sad. I'm never sure if it's missing my hometown and all my friends and family, wanting to be in the down to earth nature of the city again, if I'm thinking back to all the memories it holds for me, or if I'm just nostalgic for when life was far more simple and straightforward. Sometimes I feel nostalgic for a time that never was, living and working in the area, owning a little townhouse in or around the city with @lemon__shark, kinda escaping my problems by imagining what I could see as a terrific, simple existence. I don't think about this frequently, so don't be worried thinking I'm like upset every day, I do like living down in DC too. But Philadelphia has that special character that's impossible to match. #philadelphia #philly #home

Everything coming out about the new Death Note shows how much they’re missing the point of Death Note.

Light is not a weird loner kid. He’s a top of his class, “that kid’s going places” type. People admire him. He stays beneath suspicion until L enters the fray by seeming so perfectly straitlaced and normal that no one thinks he could ever be a serial killer. The idea of Light having a locker sign saying “normal people scare me” is ridiculous, Light would probably mock the kind of person who’d put that in their locker. Light is handsome, confident, and while his ego is horrendous and his god complex ends up going to sociopath levels eventually, he has great charisma. He’s great at talking people into things and getting them to trust him.

Light is not an outcast. He is not a punk or a rebel in any way.

If you were committed to doing “Death Note but in the USA” Light would be an all-American boy, the local sheriff’s son who plays sports and gets good grades and  just seems oh-so wholesome. That was why back when I was in high school and people floated Zak Effron as the casting for an American Death Note I thought it was a great idea since Light would probably be a Troy Bolton type in the USA, albeit with a bit more focus on his academics than sports.

Light is not an outcast. He is the sort of boy where if he was American and was accused of a crime you’d have two thirds of the town online going “that good boy would never do such a thing.”

Just…where did this idea of “punk” Light even come from? Where in any version of Death Note has Light ever done anything remotely teenage-rebellion-ish? Just…where did this even spring from?

When medication says “do not operate heavy machinery” they’re probably mainly referring to cars, but my mind always goes to forklift.
