HEY, KIDS. SORRY TO INVADE YOUR DASH LIKE THIS

I’m in a bit of a bind, financially! The van I use for work broke down (with a $3000+ price tag) leaving me physically unable to do much at my job - I’m a courier by trade, and I’m having to borrow a friend’s car to do whatever small jobs I can in order to save up enough to fix it. Fixing the van isn’t why I’m here, though. It’s urgent, yeah, but I can work it off eventually.

No, why I’m making this post is in the meantime, my emotionally abusive family decided to fuck me over. Over the course of the past week, my medication (anxiety, depression, iron anemic tablets, eczema cream and prescription painkillers) have all been thrown out because I “don’t need them anymore”, most of my small wardrobe has been donated to charity (due to them knowing I’d be too anxious to go in and reclaim it by explaining the situation), and I’m pretty sure my laptop would be gone too if I didn’t keep it with me at all times.

So I need a bit of help to replace what I’ve lost, if anybody has any cash to spare. My paypal is elimyx@gmail.com, and I’m also trying to work out how to stick a donation button on my blog (I have the code, I just. don’t know where to dump it in my theme) as well. For any donation of $5+, I’ll quite happily write a short (few paragraphs to a page) fic/drabble with the prompt and characters of your choice, if you wish. I write Homestuck best, I’ll be honest, but I can adapt to most canons with enough reference material and patience. An example of my writing style is here (Homestuck OC’s, admittedly, but I’m proud of that fic to this day). I’d also be willing to negotiate a longer fic (length of your choice) via email, if that’s more to your metaphorical tastes. Feel free to contact my via ask or email if you have questions about either! I ‘m pretty friendly.

If you don’t like the drabble, I’d… honestly be okay with re-writing it once, or refunding you within a week of the donation (if via paypal, I’m not sure how to otherwise), though I’d prefer not to.

Please signal boost even if you can’t donate, as literally anything would help right now! Thank you for reading this, and I hope everyone out there is doing okay.

Oh! and also if you donate like $5+ I can also do some drawings like. I guess the more you donate the better they can be? I’m not a GREAT artist, but I still want to help out any way I can, and even if I can POSSIBLY help add incentive that’d make me happy. So for like $5 I could do something kinda rough just like mostly flat colours like this 

for like $10 I could do something more detailed, start doing actual shading, along these lines in shading (not necessarily quality, I’d put more effort in than these, these were mostly junk) 

For $15 I can start doing some more stylized shit (not like the stylized shit up there like metaphorical shit this time) or like basic backgrounds because I’m kinda terrible at doing those quickly, or even like those fancy homestuck sprites i did that while ago

For $20 I can go all-out and like. backgrounds, full colour, try to be super neat and actually get proportions right yknow? most of the examples are kinda old, from my last art project (same goes for most of this stuff tbh) and my art style’s developed since and soRRY THE IMAGE IS SO SMALL AND YOU CANT SEE ANY OF THE DETAIL OR ANYTHING

And I guess for $30 I could do one of my copic drawings but I wouldn’t be able to mail it to you or anything and also I don’t have a scanner or anything but w/e (they’re priced higher because a) it takes me longer and b) the markers tend to run out and theyre expensive to replace)

You can check out p much all my art, good and terrible over here

and uhh

basic ground rules I guess I can’t do nsfw due to a combination of both lack of ability and personal preference

I can draw ocs and stuff if you give me enough references

I guess shipping???? but like with the nsfw stuff I dunno if I can actually DRAW it due to. lack of any kind of PRACTICE but like who knows I can give it a shot

If you commission something more expensive I can send confirmations of sketches and linework to make sure you’re happy with what you’re getting, but just a heads up that my artistic ability only goes so far, and I apologise if I’m not up to your standard, as I’m not sure if refunds would be possible.

So like. I guess if you donate, send me a message with the details of your donation so I can confirm you actually donated alongside what you want and I’ll start working on it ASAP. I’ll be a little busy for these next couple of weeks, given I’ve got about three weeks before I finish school, so I MAY not be able to get to it straight away (depending on how motivated I am to study tbh) but in about 24 days I’ll be off completely free.

And hey, even if you can’t donate more than a couple of dollars, or anything at all, a signal boost would be absolutely a+ because this is really important ems is wonderful and her family treats her like shit and and help at all is really appreciated!

Okay, gonna start reblogging this again, because well—

Shit managed to get simultaneously better and worse, and I had all of three people donate last time! :( I managed to pay off my meds and re-buy some clothes using what did get donated, but I’m just about to hit the unholy time of year where my job slows to a crawl + the seasonal work my family does is over for the year. And, naturally, that means it’ll be my fault we struggle to pay bills. (Meanwhile, my aunt buys her grandkids literally anything they ask for. I hate my goddamn family.)

Same rules as above - my paypal’s elimyx@gmail.com, and I’d be quite happy to write a drabble+ for any $5+ donation and Erin’s still willing to draw something for the same (<3333) and even a signal boost would be appreciated. Please. It’d mean a lot to me if even some of you help out.
