Pierre Joseph Redoute - Forget me not

you know what sucks? when you want to get help but you can afford to. when you want to get help but your mom doesn’t believe mental illness is a thing. when you want to get help but all you think about is dying. boy. that sure sucks. 

and let’s not forget. when you want to get help but you’ve managed to alienate anyone that might have once been your friend because you’re oh so good at being a dick. 

PAYPAL IS TRYING TO SLIP THE RUG UNDER US. Or they may have said this and just no one read about it or noticed/knew.

OKAY SO BEFORE YOU SEND ANY MONEY FOR THAT AWESOME COMMISSION YOU WANT TO BUY FROM THAT AWESOME ARTIST. PLEASE STOP AND READ THIS.

Paypal changed the look of how you will fill out information and send money. Thus, you need to be super careful. Don’t go all willy nilly through and be like “Yeah yeah yeah send” you need to stop when you see this screen right away.

Before you proceed, you will first notice one major thing: your address is showing. What you need to do if you are ordering a DIGITAL WORK (aka, it is being sent to you via the interwebz) is you need to click on your address and there around be a drop down menu of 3 (or more) options:

Be sure to select “No address needed”, it is very important that you do. If you leave your address in there, Paypal will assume that you are to receive a physical package. A physical package which needs proof that exists physically. Paypal will want the artist to provide shipping labels and tracking info on said package. This is bad, very, very bad. Artists can get in trouble if they cannot provide these things.

Please, if an artist asks to send you back your money so that you can send it again correctly, do not be offended. You are paying them to do your commission, how can they do your commission with no money?

Reblog this, send this around, if you want to make a proper tutorial go ahead, I hope this was clear enough as it is.

Important!!!

And in case the buyer does do this, there is a work around. All you have to do is click on the transaction and go to “edit tracking info” at the bottom.

Then go to order status and set to “Processed/Service Rendered.”

This will let paypal know that the order was a digital good, and no shipping was required.

You just have to check your incoming payments and make sure to do this if this does happen. Cause you aren’t notified otherwise. And you really only get in trouble if left unnoticed.

Reblogging again because I can’t stretch this enough!

emergencycommissions Not a commission post, but I think you may need this on the blog for people who are commissioning! 

Yes, this is very important! I have a link to a post on our sidebar showing the same thing - this is why posts are tagged either ‘physical item’ or ‘digital file’

why i would be a bad archaeologist

professor: okay, date this pottery for me

me, sweating: okay, uh….you have….you have beautiful geometric patterns, want to get a drink sometime?

Reblog if you’re dead

Wanna see how many people are dead

I supposed it was C-3 because of the flowers??

Thank you! @floraljehan

Tips from a YA Editor by Anne Regan: He Said, She Said, They Said—Alternative Dialogue Tags

“Said” and “asked” are the most common words used to attribute dialogue

Examples:

Dialogue tags are usually vocalizations (references to vocal sounds or tones)

Some editors avoid using laughed, chuckled when attributing entire sentences

Some neutral alternatives:

Do “flat earthers” think all the planets are flat or just the Earth?

Fuckin goofball thinks there’s other planets.

how do u know the porn you’re watching is totally consensual

that these women weren’t forced into this work

that these women are of age

that these women were treated properly on set

that these women are okay with it being released in the format it has been released(onto which website/etc)

you fucking don’t

IF YOU’RE WATCHING HIGH-PRODUCTION PORN FROM MAINSTREAM COMPANIES, YOU CAN NOW BE CERTAIN OF ALL OF THESE THINGS. The major companies require an STD test every fourteen days, and some even require WEEKLY tests. They go to great lengths to make sure the performers feel comfortable on set and their actions are consensual, before and after filming.

They go to very, VEEEEEEEERY, perhaps annoyingly great lengths to verify age. If I lose ONE of my government-issued ID’s, I’m totally fucked fr work with these people. We also have to sign a LOT of paperwork, on video, while LISTENING to someone tell us “this will be published on the internet. is that okay?” to which we answer YES. More into amateur porn? That’s okay! You can still take measures to ensure that you’re buying safe, consensual porn! By buying it DIRECTLY from female performers on websites like MyGirlFund. Then, you don’t even have to give money to one of the big porn companies, which many of us understandably have some qualms with. It goes straight to her! I realize there are problems in sex work. NONE OF THEM GET SOLVED BY CONVINCING PEOPLE TO STOP PAYING US. YOU ARE STARVING SEX WORKERS WHEN YOU DO THAT. But hey, when have radfems ever given a fuck about the women they actively harm with their misguided efforts?

Tattoo artist R:

- has over 20 tattoos of his own, mostly of small quotes and meaningful symbols in his life

- works alongside Feuilly - they tattoo each other fairly often (tbh they’re both ink addicts)

- even though he looks pretty rough and rugged, he is actually very understanding towards people getting their first tattoos, since he remembers how terrified he used to be of the needle, and he makes sure to warn them before doing anything

- frequently “tattoos” Courfeyrac with Sharpie, Gavroche with Crayola marker, and Joly with temporary stick-ons (and Enjolras with paint, but shhh that’s a secret)

- has learned to love his own body through tattooing, and is no longer ashamed to roll up his sleeves in public. He’s done quite a few “f*ck cancer” and scar-coverup tattoos, and there’s no better feeling than celebrating his clients’ personal victories with them

Can we please stop making scary shark movies? Sharks are pure sweet babies that don’t deserve this slander. They just have bad eyesight. Don’t be mean to them.

it’s a beautiful feeling when certain people have absolutely no way of contacting you
