A dark grey background with white text and boarder. The text says "DEARFEARS Commissions! Commissions take anywhere from a week to a
few months depending on the complexities.

I take payments through PayPal, and ask for
half the cost of the piece before ordering
any supplies.

Shipping isn't included in these prices. I always
ship through USPS, and can give an estimate
through there.

I'm also happy to try and work with a budget
if you have one, just let me know up front
any cost/time restraints you have."

Hey, Alaska's been hit by a typhoon and no one is talking about it. Indigenous towns are in need of aid. People are missing and the gov't is still shut down.

If any creators here are in affected areas, please drop links for aid.

A mirror selfie of me, I'm pale with short brown hair, wearing a brightly colored button up shirt patterned with drinks and citrus. I'm also wearing a bolo tie and earrings.

A full color illustration of a humanoid shadow monster holding onto a woman. The background is abstract blue. The woman has medium brown skin, curly brown hair, and brown eyes. She's standing with one arm held up at the wrist, and the other touching a hand on her shoulder. She wears a crocheted tunic dress, a beaded moon earring, blue eye shadow, and orange lipstick. Behind her is a grinning shadow monster, leering over her head, one hand on her wrist, and the other on her shoulder.

A beaded medallion that looks like a black and white beetle surrounded by stripes of green and purple. The body of the beetle is made of a black and white polished gemstone.

A full color illustration of a top down view of three men sprawled on a bed cuddled together. You can see a wood floor, with a pink carpet on top, the bed is dressed with a striped comforter, and pillows of varying shades of purple. From left to right the men are: Weird Al, a hairy pale gnome man with slicked back brown hair and a thick mustache, his hands have dark claws, and he's wearing a tank top cropped to above his nipples that says "Imolia", a lace garter belt, white boxers, unbuttoned dark jeans, aviator glasses, and white socks. Weird al is laying on Sarahel's right shoulder and looking up at him with dark brown eyes. Next to him is Sarahel, an aasimar with gold skin and pointed ears. He has long maroon hair, and is wearing a lavender button up that's mostly unbuttoned to show his chest, green pants, and blue socks. He has the arm under Weird Al cocked to rest his hand behind his head, the other arm is draped over Alston's chest, he's looking down at Weird Al with golden eyes, and his legs are slightly crossed at the shin. Finally next to him is Alston, a gnome almost identical to Weird al, except his hair is down and wavy, he has no claws, and he has stubble instead of a mustache. He's wearing a red turtleneck patterned with tangerines, an argyle sweater vest, light wash jeans, half moon glasses, a dark ring, and purple socks. He's laid on Sarahel's stomach, looking up at him, with one hand on top of his, and the other draped on his leg.

A full color illustration of two figures laying in the grass and dandelions, one on top of the other. The figure on the bottom is a black silhouette with grey scars and large mask like eyes, John. He has his left hand on the other man, Arthur's, shoulder, and his right hand cupping Arthur's face and neck, looking down at his face. Arthur is a pale man with short, wavy, blond hair. He has a mustache, yellow eyes, and wears a white button up. He's looking up at John with wonder, his left hand resting on his chest, where you can see his pinky is actually a pitch black twig attached to his hand.

The air was completely still, but waves of icy cold touched the back - evil hungry gaze was watching the tiny candle flame from the inky abyss of the forest, hidden behind the trees.
The mouse quickened his pace - the candle wouldn't burn forever. He had to reach the river in time.

A quick FYI: They have *just* relaunched the online NPR shop with bunches of new stuff, plus some throwbacks and, of course, the Tiny Desk hoodie. So if you are that kind of public media person, there’s some stuff to check out! shopnpr.org

Thank you to all the love on the new hoodie so far! Pre orders will be staying open until the end of the month and then no more international orders unfortunately! So if you’d like one and you’re outside of the uk, grab it asap!

Add It Up, Alston. #dndoc #illustration #digitalillustration #oc #digitalart #violentfemmes

A full color illustration of a man laying in a giant ring in front of a black background. He's laying with his legs and left arm dangling, looking toward the camera with a yearning expression, his right hand draped across his low stomach and groin. The whole drawing is in shades of pink and blue. He has short, slicked back hair, a mustache, and ample body hair. He's wearing several earrings, a mesh long sleeve, a bodice, shorts, socks, and ankle boots. His hands are clawed and wear several rings. Around him is text that reads: "Why can't I get just one screw? (Believe me, I know what to do.) But something won't let me make love to you."

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch.

I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com · 13d

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

Elon Musk Leads Campaign To Force Netflix To Remove Shows With Trans Characters

Musk's posts have been seen by tens of millions of users, and many conservatives are now attempting to force Netflix into a removal of LGBTQ+ content.

as a neurodivergent & also weird kid school was hell for me, though these days I struggle to remember the names of all the teachers who bullied me. But the three that treated me like a person have never left me. Now more than ever, I hope you all try your best to stay unsquishable!
