Sokumo’s Commissions!

This is my first time doing commissions, yay so before I get too caught up let’s set down some ground rules.

Three slots are open

Got some other art examples on my deviant. He’s a couple samples to show you what you’re getting. vvv

Small install payment method, how it works is you give me $5 at the start of the commission and the rest when done. (This way the person can’t just walk away with the art without paying, I seen it happen too many times recently to wanna deal with it myself. However we can negotiate; cause I just wanna eat!)

If interested contact information is here:

[Twitter]  [Deviantart] and Email: Knightbraggs@mail.com and here on tumblr inbox too

Payment method is between [p*ypal] , [Ko-fi] or [Cashapp]

Detailed information will be discussed among me and the client and can also be found on the Deviantart site in plain detail.

I hope you choose my art as art you’d like to have amongst your collect, and help me...not die cause humans need food.

the saddest thing about life is that tattoos cost many money. oh and traveling? also costs many money. video games? many money. starting a new hobby? usually many money. concerts? so many money and also good luck even getting tickets. going out and getting a fancy beverage? you know the drill.

Under the new rules, homes that are not occupied for at least six months of the year are subject to a tax of one per cent of the property’s assessed value. The deadline to rent out empty dwellings was July 1.
Fazli said many of the people he has talked to are thinking of renting or selling their properties. He recently met with a woman who owns three empty properties in Vancouver — and says one of them is now listed for rent, another will be listed shortly and she is thinking of selling the third.
“This is a scenario of someone who is kind of in a panic now and needs to rent them out,” he said. […]

amazing

Why were they empty?

they’re meant to be investment properties, bought, left empty, and then sold a year or few later for huge profit as housing values continue to rise. it’s a massive part of the bc housing bubble, and why despite so much new construction it’s still so difficult to find rental housing

the fact that these landlords are panicking because they might have to actually use their housing properties as housing rather than finance capital is deeply funny

It should be more than a 1% tax rate though. I want it to be 100%. Torture them.

So this article is from 2017. Wanna know how it worked?

According to the most recent census data, Vancouver’s percentage of homes that aren’t occupied by usual residents dropped from 8.2 per cent in 2016 (25,502) to seven per cent last year (23,011). That marks the first decline in two decades, and Vancouver’s Empty Homes Tax (EHT) is being credited as a primary influence. Introduced in 2017, Vancouver’s one per cent tax on empty dwellings — properties unoccupied for six months of the year — was implemented to encourage real estate investors to transition their properties to long-term rentals rather than having them sit unused. Although industry experts are divided on how much vacancy taxes contribute to increased housing supply, a report by the City of Vancouver found the number of vacant homes dropped from approximately 2,200 to 1,600 between 2017 and 2020 after the tax was introduced. Meanwhile, Vancouver’s EHT generated $33.6 million in revenue in 2018, $23.3 million in 2019, $27.9 million in 2020, and $20.8 million as of December 2021, helping to fund affordable housing initiatives in the city. After staring out at one per cent, the tax was increased to 1.25 per cent in 2019 and more than doubled to three per cent last year.

So, fuck yeah it helps! Reduced empty homes, they’re raising the tax, AND using it to help fund affordable housing.

It’s a start.

This looks like a fucking parody post, or an edgy edit, but it’s 100% official real Flintstones.

Clarification: I don’t hate this book, I love it, it’s amazing. It’s just that taking a step back and looking it out of context is still really funny. Especially the line “We participated in a genocide, Barney.”

ok but imagine them in their cartoon forms saying this dialogue i’m

can we have some context to this, perhaps?

Bedrock is having a mayoral election. One of the candidates is a violent war mongering asshole that riles people up against the lizard people. This reminds Fred and Barney of their time in the army.

Back then the father of said violent candidate was riling people up against the “tree people”. Fred, Barney, and other soldiers fought what they believed to be a defensive measure against the tree people. Turns out, it was actually an invasion, in order to kill off the tree people and take over their forest to build Bedrock.

That’s what Fred means when he says he and Barney participated in a genocide. They literally did.

(Extra fun fact, Barney adopted a tree person baby after the war, and his son Bamm-Bamm is the last tree person.)

There are a lot of interesting things about this post but the AK-47 shaped spear is what really got me

This is just as wild with the context

Some of my favorite moments in the series

From the foreword to 2021 print of the comic.

Your sense of self isn’t a static image, bro. It’s more like a climate or a biome. Both of which can shift in gradual ways over time or suddenly due to internal or external factors. Just check the weather report, man. Don’t try to force the sky to stay blue without clouds 24/7.

Sir Reginald Stormvale III + Thor

Important D&D NPC I’ve been sitting on for months! My players finally met him :’) 

He’s a sentient blade who can only be wielded by pure hearted heroes. So a very good livestock guard dog (called Thor) uncovered the blade and is now a holy warrior.

Enjoy!

The magic of childhood is that you were constantly encountering new things. The best way to feel that way again is to fill your life with new experiences.
