And nobody gives a fox
7 years ago
So like nobody donated to my moving fund, even when I asked really nicely. But that's okay, I mean, I am going to be totally honest here. This just further validates my perspective that people love what I do and tell me I'm great, so long as they don't have to actually do something.
This is the story of my life.
I do great and awesome things and write cool stuff and people are like 'that's super, Trick, now to spend my money and time frivolously on whatever'. The fox is used to it by now, that the fox has zero monetary value to people, that people just want to care about me like that has any tangible benefit to my real life.
'Oooooh, I care about you, Trick, I think about your feelings, but I can't be bothered enough to actually do anything about it. But I care! So much! That helps, doesn't it? Look at how much compassion and concern I have for you! Just not enough to actually, y'know, do anything. But I care about you Trick.'
I feel that people only want me around so much as they benefit from my attention to them, and I don't mind that, really I don't. I want to benefit other people, I want to be a positive influence in other people's lives. I want everyone around me to feel that life is better with the Trick Fox than without.
But so few ever seem to return the favour...
This isn't intended to be some sort of guilt-trip give-me-money-please thing.
I am just trying to understand why people do not want to support the Trick Fox monetarily, that I have no value to these people, that this disabled (yes IRL diabetes is not my friend) fox isn't even worth a dollar. I don't understand that. I see people spending enormous amounts of money on commissions and fursuits and travel and when I ask for a dollar a month they treat me like I'm extorting them.
I really mean it, I don't have any other income or have any future job prospects besides the kindness of those who have pledged to sponsor me.
I should put my patreon link here, www.patreon.com/L1011Widebody if you're interested.
Also, super duper ultimate awesome thanks to all my patreon sponsors so very very VERY much!!!!!!!!!!!

... Welp, guess this year's a total loss. A shame too since earnings are on track to annihilate any previous year I've been in this business. RIP.
