“Your ancestors are amazed at all your spices!”

“Your ancestors are impressed that you are an educated woman!”

“Your ancestors are proud that you are thriving in spite of what society did to them and you”

It’s all very sweet! But! Necromancy! Is! Still! Illegal! Your ancestors are going back in the ground!

Stop resurrecting them to show off!

Just so we're all on the same page with the writer's strike.

If during the strike, it's announced about AI generated shows. We are not watching them. Not even out of curiosity. Let them fail every AI generated show they try make.

The human voice can not be replaced by AI. Don't let them try.

Is going door to door getting donars for a charity and basically being youre only way of getting paid is getting donars a mlm? Like I’ve seen people get so much money in my office and so it feels like it’s doable but I’m always falling short and barely can get by on how much they pay since I’m not dropping donars

I don't think it's an MLM per say, but it still could be a sketchy set-up.

To be an MLM, the company has to be structured so that you make commission off of your own sales, and you also make commission from the sales of the people you recruit below you. That's where the "multilevel" part comes in.

So, in your situation, if you are able to recruit other people, and then make commission from any donors they get, then it's a MLM.

If there's no recruiting, then this sounds more similar to single-level marketing or direct selling, in which the person only makes commission from their own sales.

When you add the charity aspect into it, it gets tricky, because you aren't actually selling a product, but the business model can be similar.

I don't know if you are working directly for the charity itself, or for a secondary fundraising company hired by a charity, but this model of getting donors for commission isn't uncommon either way. And it can be super effective for the charity, as people who work on commission are more motivated to get donations than people who work for an hourly wage.

If you are working for commission only, which it sounds like you are, I would suggest looking for something else. I honestly don't think commission-only jobs should even be legal, but that's a different rant lol

When a job pays only commission, the chances of it being a scam skyrocket, because it's much harder to scam people when you are also paying them a guaranteed income. But even if the job is legit, your pay will fluctuate, and a lot of people aren't cut out for high-pressure sales (which honestly, isn't a bad thing. There's a reason most people aren't good at it). If you're not willing to push people into spending money they don't want to spend, you're going to have a hard time making money.

So even if it's totally legit, it will likely still require you to sacrifice your own morals to make good money.

And this is where the problem lies, both in multilevel marketing and commission-only jobs: they always sound doable, and that's how they keep getting people to join.

Like, get a donor, get commission, sounds easy. Do it once, and then repeat over and over until you're making money. Sounds super easy.

But the reality is, it's not, because most people don't want to donate money, either because they can't afford it, or because you're just one of 50 charities that's approached them, and they can't donate to all of them.

So suddenly, the pool of potential donors is very small, and you are fighting against the other people in your company, as well as every other fundraising company, to get that donor's money. So you either have to be pushy, or you don't make money.

What I would suggest is to do some research on the company you work for, and pay special attention to anything you find on forums or in reviews, if you can find any. See if there's a trend in people's comments about the company, especially former employees.

Also, pay attention to the turnover rate (ie, the rate at which people quit and are replaced). You said some people make a lot of money, but how many people aren't making a lot of money? And how many are quitting after short periods of time? If a lot of people are quitting, then that's a good sign that the people making a lot of money are the outliers.

And most importantly: really look at how much you're making versus how much you are working. You said you're barely getting by, but you need to take how much you have actually earned, and divide it by the number of hours you've worked. If it works out to less than the minimum wage for your area, it's time to find a new job.

Too many people stay in jobs like this because they think they're making more than they actually are.

(Also, important: if this job is your only source of income, don't quit it unless you have a back up plan in place. If you have no savings and no other job to go to, you're probably best to stay there until you find a new job. But if you're making less than minimum wage, literally any legit job will be better than that, so don't be too picky... remember that you can always leave a job. You're not committed for life, regardless of what your employer might think. Unless you're in your absolute dream job that you'll never ever want to leave, always stay open to new opportunities and do what's best for your own life.)

If the charity aspect is important to you, you can always get a different job and volunteer in your spare time, or try to get a job with a charity that is paid an hourly wage. Charities are nonprofits by default, but they can still pay their employees, because wages paid to employees are not profit.

Bottom line is: you should be getting paid an hourly wage either way. Salary plus commission is great, but avoid commission-only. Companies that only pay commission are basically only paying you if you bring in revenue for them, and any work you do that doesn't bring in revenue, you're doing for free. That's why it should be illegal, in my opinion. You're not being compensated for your time, and your time is your most valuable resource in life. You can always make more money or get more things, but you can't get more time.

hey uhhh original art/drawings aren't edits, so can you stop putting them in the mfsedit tag? it's got graphics/gifs (edits!) from the show, not art

Edits have always included art, so idk what you are talking about.

I have been on this site since the beginning and edit tags exist because it was a way to seperate gifsets, graphics and art apart from all the clutter (text posts, fanfiction, links, polls, hate). We never had the options y’ all have now to search via post type.

Also I do not appreciate you coming into my askbox talking to me in that way. You could’ve worded it nicely but instead would like to act like a pretentious asshole.

[kutekoolkat]

I made a short little vid using these gifs to Heaven is a Place on Earth if y'all are interested:

art by @shinkomiii [ig • twitter] commissioned by me [posted on instagram | twitter ]

ooooooh these two. what a concept. I just HAD to commission Faith again because her style is so gorgeous and I loved how she drew Alweather. I do adore the concept of Izadore going on a tangent about mushrooms and Anacostia just gazing in love

a solemn moment to grieve the ones they lost

art by aarantheartist | commissioned by me [posted on instagram | twitter] 

inspired by a warrior queen au I had. This was based off of a scene where they had lost a good chunk of their warriors and needed to take a moment to themselves before addressing their people. It was a brief moment as they do not have the luxury to grief properly but an important one nonetheless  

I do love this style of art, the way they created the shines in the metals is so pretty.

[kutekoolkat]

are you real?

art by vellatrelle  | commissioned by me [posted on instagram | twitter]

inspired by a fanfic idea I had but also kinda by how emotional these two were in front of those cadets. I wonder how their reunion would’ve gotten if it was more private. I found Vall’s art style so pretty I just had to commission them.

Nicte and Petra: 😏 Abigail: 😠

art by @dbenitez95| commissioned by me [posted on instagram | twitter]

I adored the experience I had with Diana and her style so I had to commission her again. This was from last year or two years ago? idk what is time?? I just really needed this Nictra + Abigail idea to come to life
