This is the kind of shit you see in anime that shows that a certain character is stronger than other characters.

Oh my god this is a lucky universe

every time this post comes around, my favorite part is the “I know it’s the Mets” qualifier at the beginning lmao like how baseball that this zillion note posts starts with “sorry for putting this hellteam on your dash, bUT”

Y’all have no idea how hard I was trying not to laugh in class at that poor bird

They…they just blew up a fucking bird…

Ball’s dead. Bird’s dead. I’m dead

Attention non-artists who commission artists: don’t fuckin do this???

Actually had someone do this to me too. Was doing a art stream, it took me over 2 hours to do his inked commission, he got a refund cause ‘it took too long’ that he figured I wasn’t going to do it after I gave him the file.

Don’t do this. Do not.

I’ve had this happen to me with a $350 comic :/ I had already finished it, it was full color, 6 panels and had a full bg in every panel. I was lucky in that I didn’t spend him money yet, but it left me without funds. I’ve also had the above happen to me as well.

Don’t do this shit to artists. We’re people too. Drawing for you is more than a hobby. It’s a job.

Use Paypal Invoices. 

I cannot stress this enough. That shit helps A LOT when it comes down to Paypal refunds/disputes. There’s a description box that let’s you put in what the product is/how long it’ll take/yadda yadda, and then there’s another little memo box that only you and paypal can see where you can say it’s a digital commission and doesn’t require shipping (So Donald Mcfuck can’t say that they never got their commission). And there’s also a box for your Terms & Conditions where you can say, if you have any conflicts/want a refund - email me, or you can actually tell the user that this is a digital commission and they won’t be getting a hard copy of it.

ARTISTS. PLEASE USE PAYPAL INVOICES. it will SAVE you. And to: the people who do this to artists – Fuck you. It’s okay if you change your mind and want a refund. But freaking TALK to us and let us know what’s going on. Let us WORK with you.

ALSO A HUGE TIP: Invoices paid will automatically set up a shipping notice which, if not fulfilled, can land you in SERIOUS hot water with PayPal. Since a lot of artists don’t print and ship the commissions, this is a huge problem.

However! Totally manageable. Just go to your PayPal, scroll down to find Seller Preferences

>> Shipping Preferences

>> Display Ship Button. Make sure all the boxes are unchecked. Then you’re all set!

As a big supporter of artists, don’t you ever fucking dare fuck over an artist like that. Like don’t. And if they take their time to do a good job, don’t shit all over them for it! Don’t be a fucking ass hole. Just don’t. These people put a  LOT of work and time and effort into their artwork. Just don’t be that guy. Often times these artists aren’t even getting what they deserve in compensation. 

I am very grateful my customers have been good to me, but I’m spreading the word.

Very important!

As a new artist, I’m very grateful for this post. Never knew this. Thank you.

1. Use PayPal invoices

2. Don’t treat PayPal like a bank- use it as intended, to move money. Too many artists let their PayPal balance sit and then get locked out of it. Get that money in your bank!

3. If at all possible, do not immediately spend that money in the bank- hang on to it and budget for delays.

If art is your business you need to treat that money as “business money”; when I did commission work, I wouldn’t consider that money spendable until the transaction was completed, a.k.a the commission is *finished*. If you need to adjust how you charge (half up front, half upon completion, charge a nonrefundable deposit for the time, ect) do that.

Since the OG post is like from 2016: paypal invoices let you untick a box for “this is a digital product and does not ship” now btw

It’s that easy!

Pay your damn artists people! This is why I make sure I have the money before I commission something. 

fuck jkr for convincing a whole generation that “witch” and “wizard” are male/female versions of the same thing

witches

  • herbs and gardening
  • cook a lot
  • wear lots of black
  • cats
  • magical brews
  • probably the village midwife
  • cottage in the woods
  • vine whips and healing spells
  • bigass hat but it’s all slouchy and cute

wizards

  • wear blankets, if you’re lucky
  • lab in a tower
  • grad student vibes
  • will definitely accidentally kill you
  • fireballs
  • high in some kind of magical drug
  • hat that scrapes the ceiling 
  • cannot keep a familiar alive for more than a week

this is by far my favorite safety/warning sign btw. they really went off with this one

No cuz I fucking love this sign. It’s not an actual barrier so it’s not like some sort of challenge it simply says “fuck around and you will find out”

Avatar

Ohohoho I LOVE “fuck around and find out” signs, especially the really dramatic and ominous (but true) ones

(Context for the last one: it’s a WWII era sign posted around the soldiers’ washroom mirror, warning them to never discuss military plans in places where civilians could hear them and report back to the enemy, e.g. in restaurants and pubs in the country. “Loose lips sink ships”.)

I also love these two, which I would place in the category of “You already fucked around, now you’re about to find out.”

Aerated water is fucking scary. It's water that has a fuckton of gas in it, which reduces the buoyancy to the point where you will immediately start to sink if you fall in.

ive been collecting these recently and wanted to add some of my favorites

I visit a wise monk cloistered away from the world for decades, his eyes near blind from having written tomes by mere candlelight. I ask him for insight. He says "Breaking Bad? Why not Fixing Good?" before dying immediately of a massive heart attack.

This guy is way wiser than that stupid old monk wtf I should've just stayed on tumblr rather than climbing that dumb steep mountain for nothing

The Monk was sharing the same wisdom. You were just not ready to understand it for yourself. In your weakness, pawgliacci exposed this wisdom to you, only for you to diss the wise monk, whom in his final breath blessed you with these questions to ponder. For wisdom is rarely ever received nor given, but taken through understanding for oneself.
