uh HEY YALL

I am opening up a patreon as well as commissions for the time being and I’ve made a link with all the information you need to know; it can be found here (and at the top of my sidebar).

In summary I need to make a bit of extra cash to help work my way out of some debt that has been just fuckin murdering me creatively and I would appreciate anybody who helps me out. and as a bonus you’ll get SICK FICS out of it too!

I’m gonna put up the first patreon poll tomorrow or possibly Sunday so if that’s your flavor get while the getting’s good, otherwise, please hit me up for commissions! I already have a possible pending one in the wings and I’m only taking 2 a month for right now. 

HELLO! 

It’s no longer midnight and I’m slightly more coherent now so here’s the scoop

Support me on Patreon: You get to vote on my first priority projects, from stuff I currently have in the works to stuff I haven’t been planning to work on for a while. At higher tiers you get access to deleted scenes/”director’s cut” type content for stuff I’m working on.

Commission me: Send me money ($50 for 5k, $100 for 10k) to write ships or dynamics of your choice, the list of what I’m willing to do is in the commission post and if you have questions you can always hit me up. Additionally, commissioner requests “jump the line” of patreon, so they can commission me to work on projects already in the pipeline if they want.

Thanks for any support if you’re chipping in, it’s going to help me a shitload.

Storm’s super talented and her writing nourishes my life, you’d be real lucky to get on board imo 😉

Recent WhatPumpkin Layoffs Due to VIZ Media Purchase

drowningcomic:

videogamechoochoo:

WhatPumpkin was recently hit with layoffs, and it sounds like VIZ Media made the choice themselves.

Those I spoke to were very adamant about WhatPumpkin and Homestuck creator Andrew Hussie fighting for the employees that were let go. Many of the staff also sounded hopeful that their involvement with the project wouldn’t be severed forever, as pretty much everyone I spoke to said they hope fans support the Friendsims so VIZ is more inclined to hire people back.

HEY SO UH, THE FRIENDSIMS ARE GONNA BE DOLLAR DLCS SO PLEASE IF YOU WERE MAD ABOUT THE LAYOFFS, SUPPORT THE FUCK OUT OF THIS

Here’s my submission for @whatpumpkin‘s comic contest!

I wanted to combine Homestuck and Hiveswap a little bit with this one. This panel sort of started the ball rolling and I was thinking about babysitter Roxy’s backstory and read a bunch of zodiac constellation myths on wikipedia and things got a little intense? So enjoy I guess.

It’s almost 3 am. I don’t have much to say for myself. I’ve sacrificed a lot of sleep for this thing so I figure I should post it. 

I’m gunna go sleep now.

Edit – Okay so for some reason at 3 am I didn’t realize I could put all the panels in one post like this. So they’re all here now. Whoops. If you still want to read it on imgur you can here.

THE CONSTELLATIONS AS THE BETA TROLLS WAS SUCH A CREATIVE IDEA, I HOPE YOU WIN!!

this is amazing, holy shit. this comic speaks to me so deeply

landofsomethingsomething:

never forget that not only did dirk strider, upon being ordered to draw pornography of him and his friends, cheerfully agree before realizing caliborn would demand fairly tame imagery, he also expressed interest in reading callie’s fanfiction about them after confirming it was explicitly romantic, and upon being told that said fanfiction was deviant and possibly disgusting he literally said “but that only makes me want to read it more.” incredible. i love him. his palpable disappointment that caliborn didnt want him to draw himself and jake kissing followed immediately by him morosely dragging their scribbled renditions together for an illicit smooch regardless remains one of the most memorable moments in the entire billion word saga to me like he was ready. he was absolutely ready to send self drawn smut of him and jake to all his friends with the excuse of well an angry space alien made me do it, soooo

also never forget that roxy made the art of her and jake her goddamn phone background i love her

Hey Taz I’m a bit confused about Jade and Davesprite’s relationship (and Davepeta to an extent). In the Post-Retcon Timeline, did Davesprite (+John) die while in a relationship with Jade? And also is the Davesprite in Davepeta Post-Retcon Davesprite then?

Post-retcon davesprite died when LOWAS exploded, with john. davesprite died before he and jade ever started dating, since jade was surprised to hear it when davepeta mentioned it.

davepeta was created with the pre-retcon davesprite, but they presumably have the memories of post-retcon davesprite along with all other daves, or at least ones who died during sburb, as far as we know. 

So Far has been removed from google play for “Streaming Abuse”

hiimcase:

Text of the email I got:

We were recently contacted by one of our digital partners (Google) regarding your content.

After looking at the streaming statistics associated with your albums, they have determined that an excessive

amount of streaming was being done from the same individual or computers. This is sometimes done by artists or fans to increase the visibility of their music. Unfortunately this is also a violation of the terms of service of most digital music distributors.

As a result of this, Google has decided to remove your content from their service.

Your content will remain for sale on the CD Baby website and will still be available with any of our other digital partners you are currently

using for distribution.

Please note – If we receive other complaints of streaming abuse from other partners, your content may be removed entirely, and any funds which have been accrued from abusive streaming will be unavailable for payout.

Please do not spam any particular song consistently on any streaming service. If you want to listen to the same song on loop, please purchase the song and do it that way.

I’m going to be making an attempt to contest this. But this is actually threatening to my livelihood. If you know of anyone who has been abusing streaming services, let me know, and let them know to stop. 

Thanks. Please reblog this to let people know what’s going on.

Aw man 😦 Case is super cool and talented, and does not deserve this.
I hope its resolved soon

CA friends, PLEASE call about this. This bill has already affected outreach services similar to the ones STROLL provides; if you care about sex workers, if you’ve been wanting to do something to help us and regretting not harassing the heck out of Kamala pre-SESTA, this is your chance. Call your famous friends, call your family, use your fan base, whatever. Please don’t allow this to happen.
CALL BEFORE NEXT TUESDAY 4/10!

Via a sex worker friend, please read:

CA is passing a bill that changes the definition of pandering making it a felony to provide any help or out reach for sex workers.

That means distributing condoms to street based workers, know your rights pamphlets, any kind of mentoring, basically all harm reduction will be a felony. I know I talk a lot about sex work and y’all are probably are bored but my community is on fire. The government wants sex workers dead, in jail and exploited.

This bill and fosta will literally mean life and death for REAL HUMAN BEINGS who just want to survive. This feels hopeless and is an incredibly dark time.

If you care about poverty, feminism, trans people, poc, sex workers and sexual freedom PLEASE CALL Nancy Skinner (chair of the CA state committee) to let her know you oppose SB 1204

(510) 286-1333 (local office)
(916) 651-4009
BY 4/10 (tues)
