yeah thats really weird and rude and you shouldnt put up with that for a second

Thank you for the comment! It's usually much easier when I can simply instantly block and move on but with a service on the line I just got really worried with what to do and how to approach it :')

Depending on how much of the comm is done id just say "fuck it", refund the money, and blacklist/block/etc this person as soon as possible

That sort of behavior is NEVER okay from a client and as an artist you have a right to cancel and refuse service to this client for being a creep to you

Thank you very much for the advice!!! Unfortunately I am pretty desperate for money right now & I'd say I'm about half of the way through so I'm thinking I'll have to just grin and bear it til I'm done. Then I'll def be blocking, warning others etc.
