‼️‼️HELP A HOMELESS ARTIST (EMERGENCY COMMS OPEN)‼️‼️

Reblogs are also greatly appreciated!! :)

Making a new post since things are getting really bad again and we're in desperate need of help at the moment. For those who don't know me, you can call me Link (he/him), I'm a homeless artist and since November 2021 my family and I (father and younger sibling) have been homeless and living out of a motel. Since we don't have any family or friend support, or a way to get a job at the moment, I've been doing commissions to try and keep us fed and housed until something changes. I'll put some receipts below.

Ever since the rents been raised here, it's been a bit troublesome trying to cover things day by day, which we rarely can do. Even food is something that we can't afford sometimes. Right now, we're in that sort of state. So far, we haven't been able to cover the room for two days and getting food has been very difficult for us due to the lack of work. We owe 200$ for the room tomorrow (rent is 65$ a day). While the people here are nice and give us extensions with time and such, we were told if we can't pay tomorrow then we would be kicked out. We have nowhere to go if that happens, no family or friends we can stay with.

So, I'm opening commissions to try and stop that from happening. I'll put some examples and prices below. I mainly draw fantasy oriented stuff such as DnD, Dragon Age, Baldurs Gate, etc. but I can do OCS of any genre/variety. My turn around time is varied depending on the commission and our living situation since it's very unpredictable. For smaller commissions, I take around two weeks. And for bigger ones it could take up to two weeks to a month. Again that could vary. I don't do heavy gore, anything weird or NSFW (I've never drawn it so I'm not confident in selling it). Also, refunds cannot be given. If there's anything that needs to be changed about a commission, I will do it free of charge but refunds are something we can't do due to us needing to use the funds immediately. Either for food or the room.

Please, if anyone could share this or help us out, my family and I would very much appreciate it. Thank you. :")

Hey. Really important announcement for those of you on discord. Someone used my delivery message without asking for permission beforehand, including the art that I MADE, so I reported it to staff. I just had a conversation with THE LEAD DEVELOPER of the Virtual Diner bot, and he actively supports art theft, calling me dramatic when I was trying to get the issue resolved. Attached are screenshots of the delivery message that was stolen (which I got the person to change) and the conversation with the lead developer of the bot afterwards. This is bullshit. As cool as the bot is, please do not use it. I wouldnt be suprised if he supports AI art too.

This is blatent disrespect towards me and one of my partners who was trying to help. I was not asking for criticism of the art. I was asking for the issue to be resolved. I would argue that the developer was the one being immature.

Please spread this around. Tumblr, twitter, discord, etc. You have full permission to use these screenshots.

TRANS WOMAN FACING THREAT OF HOMELESSNESS

CW//Depression, suicide, and verbal abuse

Hello, my name is Serena Zagranis, I’m 20 years old, and I’m a trans woman living in New England. My mother is holding homelessness over my head, stealing my money from work, and emotionally abusing me and I need help bad.

Long story short, I don’t live in a good environment. I currently live in a house with my mom and my disabled little brother, we’ve been having financial troubles since I was born. We currently live off government checks and food stamps which is barely keeping our heads above water. My mom is physically and mentally unable to work due to her disabilities. As such, I have become the defacto “breadwinner” of the house, I’m the one with the job bringing in money and the one relied on to buy food.

I need to move out of my house, my mom has decided she is entitled to my money due to my existence under her roof and I simply don’t feel safe in the house due to her emotional outbursts, gaslighting, throwing out my furniture, manipulation and frequent use of her trauma and my housing as a weapon. I’ve been berated for getting food delivered for myself and when I ask her why, she’s “blown away” and “anyone with actual responsibilities would see how ridiculous it is to pay that much for food” when she is very painfully aware that I have no transportation, no constant savings and barely any food money, and no real choice over how my own finances get spent. This is on top of her asking me for monthly rent and taking money from my account whenever she feels she needs it. Now, I am very much aware, and I do not like ordering out but I need to eat. When I talk about how I feel judged she takes that as me painting her as a “fucking ogre” and I’m “not aware how good I have it”. I have tried numerous times to explain it to her but she will constantly give me the silent treatment, tell me to move, not be a reliable source of transportation for my job, or just be passive aggressive to further prod and instigate.

I’m posting this here because I am simply scared that if my mom finds any of this stuff she will threaten me into deleting it and silencing myself from the world, as she feels I am misleading people and spending their money on “useless shit” when I should just save up myself and take initiative which she knows is impossible with how she’s treating me. It’s hard to do that when I’m constantly losing money due to her stealing it and having no way of standing up for myself considering the threats and manipulation.

Linked below is my gofundme to help me move out along with my kofi for commissions. The situation is not life threatening but my mental state has been spiraling more and more over the past year and because of it I’ve had to seek external mental help for suicidal ideation and general c-ptsd after years of this treatment. Please help donate if you can, and if not, a simple reblog would be amazing. Thank you all for reading.

Emergency

Hello! I never thought that one day I'd do this, but as it is, my family is under threat of the council forcefully taking our house and selling everything we have. We just can't afford to pay to live here and I'll be fucking damned if I let this only important shelter I have get taken away.

I threw together a gofundme so we can hopefully keep our house. I'm just hoping I didn't do this too late.

Even if you can't donate, I really do appreciate if you spread this around so others can!

Please reblog and boost, it's all really appreciated.

PLEASE HELP ME NOT HAVE TO GO BACK INTO AN ABUSIVE SITUATION

I really really hate talking about this or asking for help but I cannot afford rent this month. I moved out of an abusive situation a little over a year ago and I’ve been working so hard to not have to go back. If I cannot pay rent this month I will have to live in a 600 sq ft loft with my abusers again.

I’m trying to find extra jobs I can do but I haven’t heard back from anyone. I’ve looked into everything: loans, extra freelance writing, etc. and nothing has worked out.

It would mean everything to me if you could help out by donating and/or reblogging.

Gentle reminder that people soliciting in your ask box for money very well could be a scam and I recommend that each and every one of you actually MAKE SURE that the account is trustworthy before reblogging it or donating. These people put a lot of effort into trying to look real, and leech off of the good faith of the people on Tumblr in order to receive "donations."

For example, check to see how recently the account was made. This can be done by checking the dates of all their posts/reblogs. If it looks like the account was made extremely recently, and/or if all of their posts/reblogs were made in the same day, then it's probably a scam.

Most of these accounts are described as single minority parents who need insulin (Ex: "I'm a single Native American mother of two who can't afford my insulin...") and typically have a goal of a couple hundred dollars. They also always have a banner of what's SUPPOSED to look like a picture of them with their children. These accounts all follow a format, and again, it's all meant to make the account look real as possible so people don't get suspicious.

I beg of you guys, PLEASE get suspicious. PLEASE investigate these accounts and VERIFY that they're actually who they say they are, and not just TRYING to look real. There are specific signs and you guys NEED to look out for them, because these people rely on your blind trust and good intentions to share these posts around and donate to them. This is the internet, and there are truly some nasty lying bastards out there who will masquerade as ANYONE to get a quick buck.

I just really felt the need to make this post because I myself used to reblog these posts, but then I was made aware of the signs of a scam and now my heart sinks a little whenever I see someone innocently reblogging these posts thinking they're real. There's nothing wrong with wanting to believe these people, but PLEASE look for the signs so you don't get tricked. Please.

LIKES DON'T HELP, PLEASE REBLOG THIS POST

Serious Therianthropy Chat on March 9

Due to poor attendance in February, we have rescheduled the STDC for March 9th. Details are below.

On March 9th at 12:00 PM Central Time, I and Bloodmuffins will be holding a moderated discussion about therianthropy on IRC. The topics will be: 1. When or under what circumstances do you feel least like your theriotype and what does this feel like relative to what you would consider normal for yourself? 2. How did meeting other therians change how you approached your identity and experiences?

To join, go to https://www.rizon.net/chat and type "#stdc" into the channel field, then your preferred nickname into the nickname field. Then, hit connect. There is no password. You may have to add some random digits to the end of your nickname; Rizon is a large server and some nicknames may already be registered. Please note that when not in use the channel is locked. This means that outside of shortly before the chat starts, during the chat, and shortly after it ends (if people linger), it will be impossible to say anything in the chat.

Chats will be archived on the Werelist, as attachments on this thread.​​

This is not for me, but for a friend in a community I'm a part of, and I can vouch for its veracity.

If you're able to contribute anything to help them and their mom, even just sharing the GoFundMe/reblogging this post, it'd be greatly appreciated!

🚨 EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS OPEN🚨 tw // homeless / some med talk but not much

Reblogs are greatly appreciated!!

Making a new post to hopefully get some work for my family and I so we have somewhere to stay for tonight, since work has been very slow lately. I'm Link, and I'm a 22-year old artist, and my family and I (me + my father and younger sibling) have been homeless since November 2021. It's a long story. TL;DR version is at the same time, while I was living with a friend and my dad + younger sibling was on the road (he drove a van at the time) he had gotten into a diabetic coma and was fired by his job. Being fired meant he or my sibling didn't exactly have a home to go back to, as our relatives on both sides refused to help. At the same time, I was going to have to find someplace else since my friends grandmother was entering the late stages of her life and they had to transfer her to the nursery, meaning there was a lot of things his family had to take care of and I couldn't be there. They allowed my father, sibling and I to stay there for two weeks to give us time to find someplace else.

While I was there, I'd been doing commissions to help their family out with food, and since it was either the streets or living under a roof; I told my friend to take us to a nearby motel since we had enough for a day, and we could figure things out from there. So since then, I've been keeping us here by doing commissions ever since. Either of us haven't been able to obtain a job yet due to how hard it is for us to get our documents to get an id (we dont have a car at the moment, and saving money for the room and food is already tough as is), but recently we think we might be able to get my father's ID so he can work, were waiting on his lung condition to recover fully and get money saved up for the documents and all that before we apply to get them. So hope isn't fully lost for us, we just need to take care of some things for a while longer until then.

Recently, things have gotten worse again. We were paying weekly thanks to the help from my followers and commissions I was getting, but when we weren't able to pay for another, we went back to paying daily again. And immediately we were set back. For the past few days, we haven't been able to pay for one let alone food. We were able to pay most of it to at least stay here, thanks to the kindness of the staff, but they called us earlier to tell us if we couldn't pay everything tonight, then we'd have to leave. We owe 120 by 11pm tonight, and I thought maybe making a new post might help us since posting on my other socials hasn't done much for us lately.

My commissions are open, and if you're interested in helping us out via a commission you can contact me through my Tumblr dms since it's the easiest way to get to me. But if you can't help financially, which I totally understand, I know the economy is tough on all of us right now, please don't feel bad or anything. Reblogs also help us a ton, and it always means a lot to us.

For the commission info itself, I have it all packed into this link right here, along with examples of my art and prices. I draw mainly fantasy pertaining to the Dragon Age Series and although I know little to nothing about Baulders Gate, I have done some art of tavs before! I also do DnD work as well, so I'm used to drawing pretty unique characters. I'll also put some examples I have below. If you want something outside of that, I'm sure I can provide, just let me know upon your request! And I think that's all. Much love to you and thank you for reading, I hope you have a wonderful day/night :)

On Pantheon

So against all odds the second season of Pantheon has been released. Considering it was already made I guess it was a matter of when it would be released, but that doesn't diminuish how dirty Amazon did this wonderful show.

The whole series is what I can describe as "light cyberpunk", since it mostly takes place within close to our own era (aside from the very last three episodes). It strikes a balance of grimdark with a positive view of the future, making it not only a very realistic and honest show but also incredibly unpredictable. Again, the last three episodes will just blow your mind.

Give this show a go. It deserves it.

My opinion of Alastor's VA continues to go up. :) Fundraising link here.

[autisticasgore]

i hate making these posts but i don't have much of a choice right now 💀 i currently have an infestation of termites right now and the quoted amount from pest control is $2k. while that's something we can reasonably afford on its own, we don't actually know how much damage has been done, and we've been told to leave it for a week.

here's the goal. as stated in my goal, for every donor I will draw a personalised commission (so long as I can message you or be able to see that you donated).

please share this and help me out 🙏

[pleasehelpmycats]

Please donate or share my GoFundMe to get this out there to a lot of people. My cat is in dire need of medical treatment and after the month I've had I can't afford it. (FIP) Feline Infectious Peritonitis is fatal if not treated.

No more lesser of two evils voting!

You can go to the national popular vote website to let your representatives know you want a candidate to be elected via popular vote and not through the electoral college. Third party voting can be an option if enough people make more noise about it. You can find more information about this on their site. When you visit it you can put in your zipcode to find your state representatives and email them with a script. You can add to it if you'd like, just make sure to spread this around!
