Hello hello! It's been a while, I'm opening commissions until September 30, to raise funds for TrueNorthAid, a non-profit that provides humanitarian aid to northern Indigenous communities in Canada.

Click Here to Commission via Ko-Fi!

The nice thing about Ko-Fi is that it's a neat and tidy form--you can fill in your commission info and complete your transaction in one place. (not sponsored I just think it's neat and helps us out a ton LOL)

Please consider commissioning me if you're interested! All proceeds will go directly to the NPO. And as always reblogs are very appreciated ♥♥♥ Thank you!

I also made a Twitter post you can check out and share!

see also “credit belongs to the artist”. Stop that. Reblog the original posts from the original artists.

“credit to the original artist” is about as useful as saying “no offence” and then punching someone. “credit to X person @blogname” or linking to that persons blog/website/etc is how you credit, and you should only be reposting the art with the persons direct consent. also don’t repost art thats already been posted on the platform, you can just reblog the original post?? there’s no need to take the art and make a whole new post of your own on the same platform.

...and remember that it’s not other people’s responsibility to provide creative works to distract YOU from the gloomy reality, which is honestly what this anon message reeks of.

Also, the anon needs to understand that some fanfic writers and fan artists are essential workers or work in places that never closed down, therefore there was no supposed free time to solely devote to fandoms or other hobbies. Their daily routines stayed the same--if not gotten worse-- with the extra amplified-side-helpings of pandemic stress. 

Everything sucks right now. And now that establishments have reopened and cases are spiking all over again, don’t be surprised if fanfic updates and artwork take another break. 

People, if you are desperate for distractions, you are the ones who have to seek it out for yourselves. If your fandom is still heavily active, then great! But if not and you’re bored, pick up a real book to read, start some new hobbies like sewing, crafting, baking, whatever. And if a fanfic you enjoy or an artist you follow releases new chapters or content, kudos! Enjoy it to the fullest. Leave a comment about how much you enjoyed their work and how thankful you are that they shared something with their fandom while the world has essentially gone to hell. Perhaps that will brighten the creator’s day and help them stay inspired through harder times. But don’t expect anything. Don’t badger people for updates. If they don’t want to or can’t create, then they won’t.
