Making a new blog?

Sooooooo I've decided after much thought that I should make an actual art blog. This blog has just kinda become a dump of all of my interests and I haven't posted actual art here in a really long time. Would y'all be interested in following a blog strictly for my art stuff?

This blog would become a dump for all of my drafts and random reblogs if I decided to make an art blog. So??? If that's cool then that's what I'm gonna do.

Do you guys know why I’m so adamant about you vaccinating your kids?

I’m immunocomprimised. It means my immune system is weakened. I have very weak lungs and I rely on herd immunity to stay safe.

I’m allergic to the shot people get for whooping cough. How do I know? I had a 3 week, painful reaction. Now, this was a while ago, before shit hit the fan with the whole anti-vax movement.

But do you know what my doctor told me? It was safer for me to get the shot that I’m ALLERGIC TO than rely on herd immunity because if I get the shot, I’ll be in moderate-severe pain for about 3 weeks max. If I get the disease, I will die. My lung capacity is bad enough, but my body is too weak to fight the disease.

So not only are you putting your child’s life at risk by not vaccinating them, you’re putting mine and all the other people who cannot be vaccinated at risk because of a selfish decision that isn’t backed by science.

god THIS. vaccinate your kids and vaccinate yourself too. my dad is also immunocompromised and relies on herd immunity. neither he nor anyone who lives with us can get live-virus vaccines (we can only get ones where the virus is inert/dead) because if he’s exposed to the weakened virus he will contract whatever disease it is, so herd immunity is SUPER important for everyone in our family.

the anti-vax bullshit HURTS people. my dad has been hospitalized before just from a common flu because people he knew didn’t get their flu shots, came in to work with the flu, and got him sick. even with my dad’s healthy lifestyle, the fact that he’s immunocompromised from leukemia means even a really common and easily treatable disease (the flu, bronchitis, whooping cough) could straight up kill him.

fuckin. vaccinate.

Also do you know how many people in the community are immunocompromised?

  • Every cancer patient
  • Every pregnant person
  • Just about every elderly person
  • All small children
  • Many people with invisible illnesses, such as autoimmune conditions, AIDs, congenital immune deficiencies, malabsorption issues etc
  • Heck, even those with jetlag or under severe stress are immunocompromised

In short, YOU KNOW LOTS OF IMMUNOCOMPROMISED PEOPLE. Unless you are a hermit, YOU INTERACT WITH IMMUNOCOMPROMISED PEOPLE ON A DAILY BASIS. GET VACCINATED!!!!

getting vaccinated INCLUDES FLU SHOTS. EVERY YEAR. dont care if you’ve “never had the flu before”. it’s not all about you.

one thing i utterly adored in age of ultron was the implied bond between thor and steve. obviously the first thing to notice is their fighting strategies (several of them) where they use their hammer and shield together. how long do you think they practiced and sparred together to come up with, then perfect those moves? then the fact that thor only trusts steve (and stan lee) to drink his secret stash of asgardian booze (let’s just accept this is the only way steve can still get drunk). then there’s those little moments where they look out for each other. like when thor needed to clear his head it was steve that missed him and basically admitted he trusted and relied thor over everyone else. and when thor knew he needed to make sure vision was created, he signalled to steve to stand down and even though steve physically fought tony over it, he complied, trusting thor’s judgement. AND their continued ‘getting sleepy?’ ‘were you taking a nap?’ joke. i loved it so much i just wish thor was in civil war to take steve’s side lmao

So my parents are getting divorced, which, as you can imagine, has led to some financial strain. As an autistic teenager which severe anxiety, getting a job is honestly just not possible for me right now, but I want to be able to help my family out even just a little bit! So I made a commission sheet~

In case my handwriting’s hard to read:

Sketch - $5 -You can choose the colour of the sketch, or have it greyscale -You can choose the pose (Send me a ref if you can) or leave it up to me Lineart - $8 -You can choose the colour of the lines, or leave them black Flat Colour - $10 -Coloured background box and white outline are both optional and free if you do want them

Shaded - $12 Simple BG - $15 -Specifics are up to you, as long as it remains simple Complex BG - $20 -Whatever you like, <i>within reason</i>! Add-ons: -Additional characters - $2 Each WILLS: Gore, animals, fursonas etc, WON'TS: NSFW, Fetish art, etc.</b> Message me if you’re interested, and I’ll send you my paypal~ All of these prices are based in CAD as well, so they might be higher or lower depending on your own currency! If you want something and I don’t have any examples in my art tag or deviantart for it, message me and I can draw up a quick sketch if you’d like (As long as I’m okay with the suggested drawing as well), then you can decide from there if you want it ^^

Thank you for reading this far, and if you can’t/don’t want to buy anything that’s fine! But even a like or a reblog could help me~

This is super cute! But I think that you should raise your prices. Your art is worth way more than what you've priced it as!!

You know what would be cool Voltron merch?

This is just me musing but I’d really love to have something like those books they had for Legend of Korra where they were filled with all this extra info on the designs of characters, more on the worldbuilding, the background characters, etc? More inside looks on the animation and stuff. It would be such an amazing reference book for artists/writers and also it would just be really amazing and fun to flip through!

Voltron has a rich cast of characters and all this amazing scenery and great animation and books like these showcase it really well.

Also another idea would be releasing the soundtrack to Voltron? I’d pay to listen to that too! [edit: s1 soundtrack is already out but I’m not sure about the others!]
