Hey everynyan, so I've been thinkin' of doing a thing for a lil while now, 'bout ~7 months-ish. BASICALLY, our dishwasher blows. Like, super mega blows. It's awful, and if I didn't have the hands of a crusty desert-residing coal miner I would say something like "I'd rather wash these dishes by HAND". But, if I did say that, my mom would be like "do it then" and I'd have to commit, and I'm just not ready for that. What I am ready for, however, is to attempt to replace the damn thing. As a surprise!!

See my mom is the sorta person who would rather draw something out to its absolute final breath than replace it the moment it starts being more effort than it's worth. Which is fine, I respect that, but also it drives me batshit crazy. Our current dishwasher is the following things:

- awful
- disgusting
- almost as old as me (it's 24 fuckin' years old)
- falling apart
- can't really run a full load without needing to rewash
- loud
- like, super loud. it screams with the unadulterated passion of a thousand souls burning in cold fire from the moment it is turned on to the moment it finishes its cycle, and then again when it has to rewash everything it failed to wash the first time
- did i mention awful

My mother has been working her butt off for the past few years to make sure we can all be livin' the most stress free lives we can be livin' and I, a turd, have done Marginally Nothing in comparison outside of buying dinners and lavender scented bath bombs. So I thought hey, why not replace this horrific dying creature in our kitchen with something that will not only make our lives easier, but probably save us 15% or more on our car insurance hydro bill? That's something within the realm of possibility for me! Hell yeah! But I want it to be a surprise!

So my plan is this: Save up some money, then when the snow gtfo's I'm gonna head out to the hardware store down the street and see how likely it is that they could be in and out with an installation before my parents get home from work one day. If that's feasible, great! Plan is in motion. If not, OH WELL, PLAN IS STILL IN MOTION. IT'S TIME TO PUT THE DINOSAUR TO BED.

Still with me? Okay cool. So commission openings. I'm thinking of doing something like my purple sketch things, except a bit cleaner and with color. Like these (all examples SFW, but you may get NSFW):

(These are all stand-y poses but the actual ones will be more fun like my sketches)

I'm thinkin' $85 USD a piece, extra characters +$35 USD each, if your character is heavily detailed (has big wings, lots of decorations/props, or something like full armor) it might be a tad more. If you're interested, fill out this form (yaaay the form is back)!

My goal here is about $800. We don't need an insanely fancy dishwasher, but I wanna get a nice one. If there's any extra leftover I'll like, spend it on tide pods or something, idk.

ANYWAY thanks for reading this long-ish journal!! I hope you'll consider helpin' me out on replacing The Bitchwasher.
