Regarding Commissions (update)
Posted 3 years agoAs a few may know Commissions atm are sort of closed at the moment due to irl life stuff with myself and my co-writer 
thunderchaser22 (P.S. Go check them out if you haven't!)
I'll make a formal announcement when commissions have re-opened but we're likely going to be amending our TOS, we've had the same commission rules and TOS since the start and we've noted holes in them for a while now.
Look forward to commissions opening back up at some point in the future and our new TOS!

Something that needs addressing. . .
Posted 4 years agoI don't like that I have to make this. I'm not sure how to even really word what I want to convey, so I'll start with the truth of what happened and go from there.
Recently (Well in July) I took a commission; Due to moving it was delayed significantly, until October to be precise. I spoke with the commissioner (Who will remain unnamed) about the delay and he was super cool about it. When I quoted him the price, I didn't say it to the commissioner, but I quoted him a lower price than usual due to the fact that I knew there was going to be a bit of a wait. I didn't foresee that it would be as long as it was.
Immediately following this I was briefly hospitalized and had to recover from my appendix surgery, I believe I made a journal about it at the time. In November, I once again had to go back to the hospital and spent another two weeks recovering. Earlier this month, I once again was hospitalized, I spent some time hooked up to an IV and have thankfully recovered from this.
During all of this I was open and clear with the commissioner about all of the delays, again he was super chill and polite and kind, and I appreciate that. Dude had waited since July for his commission so I pulled myself together and worked pretty hard on it. 5 months in the making and I get Covid, unfortunately (And still have it) But I suffered through and took the time through headaches, nausea, body aches, dizziness, (general hell really,) to thoroughly go through this commission for this guy and do it right, or, at least what I thought was right. I had been given multiple prompts from said person and chose one, we agreed, he shared some details about things he'd like to see. I expressed as I always do that sometimes things can be slightly different than the prompt (Not a lit, just a little bit) so everything works overall and he seemed okay with this.
Let me preface this by saying: I've never had a problem with any commission in the past where I have deviated slightly from the prompt. Everyone is generally cool with this, they understand the amount of work that goes in and that things like writing style, character perceptions, drafts and brainstorming, and generally the fact that I can't read your mind, might change things.
The prompts I was given were a bit vague, they had details of what the commissioner wanted but didn't quite specifically specify anything directly or tell me that something needed to or didn't need to be in the story. I worked with this and wrote an 8028 word story. A story I'm quite proud of. It's a cute little padded pony story involving Cadance and filly Twilight. Jumping back to my earlier statement, the normal price for this sort of thing is usually around $80, this is partially because any sort of padded pony thing is generally considered fetish, and once you add a younger character into it, on most sites, this gets it labeled as extreme/adult/fetish regardless of if the story is or is a bit more wholesome. The price is also so my co-writer and I can split the money after paypal fees and still both feel adequately paid. We used to do commissions for less but with rising paypal fees and the fact that things are so damn expensive right now, writing for less isn't exactly profitable. Remember, we do this for fun in our free time, however, we still want to get paid for it because it is at the end of the day, work. I won't reveal the amount I charged this individual but I will say that it was less than the aforementioned $80. I feel like this is worth leaving in because it makes what happens next a bit. . . shitty.
So after spending 6 months on this story, various hospital visits, and general hell, the story was finally done. I was so proud, I'd worked hard on it, went through and edited it. I made sure I got as many grammar and writing errors as I did. I even went back over the original prompts and made sure things were pretty close to what they should be.
The thing is, part of writing for commission is a lot of trying to interpret a relatively small amount of information and turn it into something sometimes 10, maybe even 100 or 1000x bigger than what you have. It's not an easy job, and sometimes things don't come out the way people thought they would.
Upon completion of the story I sent it over to the commissioner, he read it and said "It's very cute, although it isn't quite what I was expecting" and "Overall the story is good and cute but misses the mark on what I had envisioned. " I felt bad I had missed the mark and asked if there were things they wanted me to change. I do this for all of my commissioners before posting a story or finalizing it, if there is something you want changed I'll generally do it.
Unfortunately for me this particular 'change' the person wanted more or less was a gut, teardown, and rewrite of the story. At this point, I'm 6 months in, I'm sick, I'm tired, I'm not even fully paid (Out of the goodness of my heart) and the guy wants me to rewrite the story from the ground up. As most of you can probably guess, this didn't happen. What followed was a series of back and forths between myself and the commissioner on how we could make this right, minor changes I could make? Nope, complete rewrite. Again, not going to happen.
I apologize that things didn't go well and that I can't rectify it the way they want it to be. I then prepare to upload the story, it's a perfectly good story, there's nothing wrong with it. To this the commissioner tells me not to upload it. In the case of stories where I upload or don't upload based on the commissioners request usually pends on if there is personal information or their OC in the story; In this case there was neither, its cannon characters from MLP:FIM
I ask if there was a reason why and the only reason I really got was because it wasn't satisfactory to them. Keep in mind, when an artist or writer does a commission, they reserve the right to get credit for their work and add it to their portfolio, that's not a special rule I made up, that's literally how most things go in my experience of both commissioning things and being the artist/writer.
Upon telling this person I was going to upload it but I would omit their name from being the commissioner they told me that I need to disclose that they didn't approve of the story. "If you do post it I would request that you include my name and that it is being posted against my wishes." Now, when I got that message I'm thinking to myself 'Okay, well your oc isn't in the story, and there isn't anything that would link you to it, so why would I do that?' Honestly, at that point, I felt like the guy was getting petty, like he wanted a free story from the ground up.
Upon being denied this, as well as being denied him being credited for a 2 or 3 sentence prompt that I turned into 8000+ words, he got irate and made some pretty weird statements, some of which contradicted themselves, like that he liked the story, Buuuuuuuuut~
"And as for being unsatisfied, I kind of am.
But this commission has been ages, and I'm naturally not the sort of person to push confrontation, a really big part of me did just want to do 'it's perfect' and wash my hands of it. But I also wanted to let you know how I felt about it, since it didn't feel right to just say I was cool with it when I'm not."
Now that statement I was okay with, that's fine, let me know how you feel, thats part of the whole commissioner/writer dynamic, I want your feedback. However things. . . went south from there.
"Okay, but you do realize I can just tell people that you posted it despite my wishes?"
"I think it's a cute story, though a bit of nothing fluff for the most part, but it does not represent the idea I offered. "
And here's where we get to the last contact from the guy,
"Alright first, I'm am allowing you to post it, I couldn't stop you even if I wanted to, you're upset that I would say I didn't like it.
2ndly, I just realized that this story is just an rp between you and your other writer that you cleaned up a little, and I'm done. Do with it what you will, I can't promise I won't tell people I didn't like it. "
Now this statement is just downright mean. Claiming that the story is 'just an rp between me and my cowriter but cleaned up a little' That's uncalled for, this story isn't written any different from the other dozen+ stories I've written and posted, if he had read them, he'd know what to expect in the style. Do my co-writer and I go back and forth writing different characters? Yes, but not because we're roleplaying, it's because I'm better at writing certain characters than he is, and he's better at writing others than I am. We do this to ensure quality and keeping the characters in character. As for 'allowing me to post it" As the writer, I reserve the right to post my word. I'm not going to write 8k words and then just not share it unless there's a damn good reason.
Following up on my reply to that, threatening me that you'll tell people you didn't like it isn't cool. I mean, feel free, go right ahead and do so that's your right, but I have no obligation to put anywhere in the story or its description that you disapproved (Unless I publicly list you as the commissioner or your OC's or property is in the story)
Do I feel bad the guy didn't get exactly what he wanted? Yes, I do, but at the end of the day, if you order a pizza, it might not always be perfect either, even if they put in all the ingredients that you asked for. A picture by an artist might not look how it looked in your head when you described it, a story is no different.
This is the sort of thing that makes me not want to take commissions, (or ever do requests for that matter.) It makes me wonder things like "Am I a bad writer?" and then that spirals into "Well if people don't like my work why should I even try?" and that turns into "Well fuck it I'm not doing stories for other people anymore if they're just going to hate it." 9 times out of 10, this is why your favorite artist or writer stops doing art or writing, because they've been attacked for having their own style or way of doing things, we can make changes to it to try and make it more what you wanted after the fact, but very rarely will you ever get something from scratch without being paid.
Overall I'm struggling on whether or not to post this story. I'm torn between the amount of hardwork myself and my co-writer put into it, we're both proud of it, we want people to read and enjoy the story. At the same time, I kind of don't want to deal with the needless drama, someone being petty, the story wasn't a 100% perfect replica of their fantasy in their mind, so they want to deny others from the chance to enjoy it, and the people who made it the chance to share their work with others.
In the end, I'm not really sure how to end this journal entry. I feel like I'm an ass even though I've been told by a significant amount of peers that I'm completely vindicated in my actions. So yeah, there's the story of what happened. I wanted to address this before it got out and twisted and made into some bigger than it needs to be thing. This doesn't have to be anything, it doesn't have to be drama, honestly, I'm tired, I don't want the drama.
If you take nothing else away from this, remember to always be clear and vocal with the people you're commissioning. If something absolutely needs to be included in the thing you're getting, say it, don't him haw around and say things like "If it fits" or "maybe this happens" or things like that. It can lead to this unfortunate circumstances where it just ends poorly.
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season, and I'll see you all next year.

So. . . I just had my appendix out in an unexpected surge...
Posted 4 years agoBecause I randomly disappeared for like 2 days and no one really knew why, I went to urgent care yesterday after a terrible pain in my side and found out I have acute appendicitis, luckily there is an ER/hospital with an OR attached to the Urgent care and I was taken down to the ER like immediately. Kinda shitty because I'm on the last 2 weeks of my move cleaning out the old house too, so I can't even help with that now, I pretty much am bedridden for a few days because they made 4 cuts into my stomach to remove the damn thing. In a lot of pain but doing better!
So yeah just wanted to let everyone know, going to try to rest now lol.

Moving sucks, I can't wait until its done.
Posted 4 years agoSo as many of you know I'm moving, and have been moving, for almost a year now. This process sucks, especially when it drags on because of problem after problem. Its very annoying, I just want to be in the new house already. I've got a commission to finish and people who have expressed interest in commissions that I've had to turn away because I'm just so damn busy with the house. Ugh I hate this so much.
If you're one of the people who's waiting on a story or waiting for me to open commissions back up, I'm sincerely sorry. Hopefully soon I can get this shit together and get back to writing.

Commissions
Posted 7 years agoI just wanted to let everyone know I've updated my commissions page to make it more understandable! It came to my attention that it was a bit confusing the way I had it laid out before. Prices haven't changed and I've made it much more clear about what I will and will not do. If in doubt you can always drop me a note about what you want to commission though. :)
And remember to keep an eye on my Fimfic for more stories: https://www.fimfiction.net/user/782.....dnight+Shadows

Just some updates for everyone~
Posted 7 years agoSo as I'm sure you're all aware, I've been working on Commissions with thunderchaser22 quite frequently lately! I'm extremely grateful to everyone who's commissioned us!
So I figured I'd do an update blog for everyone, I am going to be copy and pasting this to multiple accounts so if you see this in multiple places it's because I want to make sure everyone can read the updates~
So right now I'm currently working on another commission with Snowy, it's a sequel/continuation to Sweetie's Punishment, I will be posting it as a separate story (And listing it as a sequel) as some of the kinks will be slightly different and I know not everyone likes the same things. (I'll make sure I put a list of the kinks in the description when I post it.) That story should be coming out, hopefully it'll be done tonight actually, but I'll be having the commissioner read it over before posting it. In the event that it's not done tonight it'll be done during the week though I have multiple doctor appointments this week (One tomorrow, I'm going to the hospital and I need to be put under for something) So I won't be working on anything Monday and probably most of Tuesday. I believe I have another appointment on Thursday as well. Nothing serious, just some dental work I need to be put under for and then on Thursday I have my therapy appointment. But due to the high volume of commissions lately, aside from finishing the commission we already have going (The sequel to Sweetie's Punishment) This week we really won't be working on anything to make sure we don't get burnt out on writing.
I may, however, as I've discovered some personal works in my google docs from a few years ago and other projects I worked on, I might upload some of them during the next few weeks to help in any gap of content. I really do enjoy writing and I've been motivated now to work on my projects again now that we've been getting commissions and people have been showing support.
For this week (8/26/2018-9/1/2018) Commissions are closed, however if you've already PM'd me before now your commission will be in the cue pending payment. If you guys have any questions just drop me a PM, I will be around. But once Monday the 2nd rolls around commissions will be reopened.
Also another note I should mention, I will be changing my commissions page on Fur Affinity to better reflect my prices and generally make it more understandable, I've been told by some people that it's a bit confusing and I've been meaning to get to it for a while but the lack of commissions up until now made me think I didn't have to, but since more people are messaging I'll be updating it, don't worry prices won't really change, and I have no intention of making prices go up at the moment, that just wouldn't be cool or fair of me to do. (Besides I think my prices are pretty good where they sit now, cheaper than some other people who take commissions, I don't want to be that person who overprices my work)
So I just wanted to keep everyone updated, hopefully between now and the next few days the sequel to Sweetie's Punishment will be posted and up. I'll also have revised my commissions page so its easier to understand, and again, Snowy and I are SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER Grateful to each and every one of you for supporting us~! We hope to keep providing quality content for a long time~

Also another note I should mention, I will be changing my commissions page on Fur Affinity to better reflect my prices and generally make it more understandable, I've been told by some people that it's a bit confusing and I've been meaning to get to it for a while but the lack of commissions up until now made me think I didn't have to, but since more people are messaging I'll be updating it, don't worry prices won't really change, and I have no intention of making prices go up at the moment, that just wouldn't be cool or fair of me to do. (Besides I think my prices are pretty good where they sit now, cheaper than some other people who take commissions, I don't want to be that person who overprices my work)
So I just wanted to keep everyone updated, hopefully between now and the next few days the sequel to Sweetie's Punishment will be posted and up. I'll also have revised my commissions page so its easier to understand, and again, Snowy and I are SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER Grateful to each and every one of you for supporting us~! We hope to keep providing quality content for a long time~
I took a test just for fun. . .

To find out what your little age is lmao.
So, according to buzzfeed,
My little age is 3, "You love it when you get to put a sticker on your star chart. You try your hardest to keep your pull-ups dry but you're still potty training. You love the classic things about being a little toddler!"
Even though I identify as 5 but oh well. I thought it was silly and figured I'd share the link for anyone else who wants to take the test~

I feel like I need to address this.
Posted 7 years agoI feel like, maybe talking about this will help me get over it, move on. I'm not going to go into much detail about this or name names, you know who you are.
I don't really know how to even start this. It's sort of a rant, sort of a venting of emotion. Airing out the dirty laundry so to speak is a way you could look at it.
Obviously if you follow me you know I'm into the whole ab/dl thing. That I'm a little and that sort of thing. For the past three or four years I've been in a daddy/little relationship with someone. (Again not naming names you know who you are.)
At first I was very hesitant. Many people told me bad things about this person. Many people told me they lied, had done bad things, or were just a bad person in general. It took me a few months to really get over the person's past and see them for the person they were trying to be for me. They wanted to be there for me in a way that I never knew I wanted. Things went great and for the 3 or 4 years I was led along to believe that this person would come visit me. Every time it got close it would always get put off, always some reason. Lost job, sick, so on and so forth. That didn't matter to me at the time though. I felt that inside this person would never lie to me, would never lead me along. I knew that someday they'd fulfill their promise to me.
So I let it go, I would still talk about our plans to meet and have an awesome week as "Daddy/Little" together. This person also took it upon themselves to supply me with diapers so I could start wearing 24/7. This started about a year ago. I was thrilled! I said yes almost immediately. It's something I had wanted for so long but never had the ability to make come true myself. The idea was there's. I said yes. In hindsight I should have thought about this, but at the time I did think it was too good to be true but I let it happen. When the promise was fulfilled and I got my first resupply I was extremely happy. Things were going well. I was spending time with this person online, I was talking to them, we got along so well.
Overtime however, I noticed this person started to distance them self from our relationship. And for me it seemed like it devolved into them just getting me stuff to make me shut up about wanting to spend time with them. After about 4 or 5 months of trying to spend time with this person to no avail I confronted them about it. I wanted our relationship to go back to how it had been, I wanted things to go back to how it used to be where I was able to spend time with this person, where I could just talk to them about stupid things and not feel like I was bothering them. I asked about spending more time with them, they replied with the response of being busy lately with work and some other things. I didn't want to let it go but I figured I'd revisit it once their life wasn't so hectic.
The only times the person seemed like they would reply to me was if they were talking about getting me stuff, so naturally I took the opportunity of the scheduled diaper resupply time to confront them again about our relationship. I wanted to fix this. I wanted to make it better before it blew up.
The (I think it was Monday or Tuesday) after this conversation with them I went into the hospital for surgery. This was in February. Upon returning home from the hospital I went to sleep immediately and proceeded to sleep for the next almost 24 hours. When I woke up I had during that time of sleeping and recovery, received a message from this person stating that I had been "Using them for free things" and that I was "Manipulative" and overall "Bad" Upon trying to respond I discovered I had been blocked by this person. I was torn up. I cried every day that week trying to recontact this person to find out what had happened.
Eventually through a bit of persuasion I got a mutual friend to convince him to reply to me and talk about it. He was upset saying I should be happy for him, that he had a girlfriend and that all of this wonderful stuff was happening for him. I knew nothing about this. He had never told me. I was left in the dark, I considered him family and he just left me in the dark on his life. We talked briefly but it devolved, he snapped at me, again trying to claim I was manipulative and that it was all about the stuff. And honestly at that point, yeah I was a little ticked off about the stuff. You can't go for a year and a half of having someone wear diapers 24/7 then just cut them off cold turkey. Anyone who's worn for an extended period of time knows this. But I digress.
The week prior to all of this happening I was happy trying to talk with them about our plans for meeting in the future. I was trying to spend more time with them and make our relationship be more than just materialistic things. I was tossed aside. Blocked, my emotions played with, I was mentally abused. I wanted to believe that I had done something wrong, that I could fix it. But after talking with many people about it I was told that I had done nothing wrong. I still feel like it's my fault. Like I didn't do enough to fix this.
After the second encounter I again, cried almost every day. I still cry about it every other day. I was hurt so deeply to my core, I was finally making progress in life, with my anxiety, with my therapist, with work and school, only to have it rocked by this development. I've since slumped into a deep depression. This is why I've been relatively inactive here and other places lately.
In hindsight I wonder if I should have listened to those that told me this person was bad, that this person would only hurt me in the end. But I wouldn't trade what I had for anything. Those 3 or 4 years were some of the better years I've had. I just wish I could get it back.
It cut me deeply to find in their user 'shouts' that the same name he used to call me he was now calling his girlfriend. I was never into him romantically. We both knew this was purely a friendship, or sort of family thing but not a romantic relationship. It just seemed like I was used to satisfy his need for someone into similar things until he found someone to be in a relationship with.
In the end I'm left with many questions. Was it his girlfriend? Did she manipulate him? He did tell me others "pointed out to him" that he was being "Manipulated" by me. And after a quick look over his girlfriends account they seem like they might be a manipulator. Maybe, maybe it's not her at all, maybe it's some of his other friends. People who I know actively dislike me because of things that have happened in the past.
I just wish I could make this right. I had trust issues going into this friendship. . . after this I don't know how I'm supposed to trust anyone again. All of my inspiration to work on my stories and art is gone. I've found myself just wanting to sleep all of the time. My motivation to continue with my works is gone.
So, I guess the point of this is to let everyone know that I'm probably not going to be around much anymore. I honestly don't know what I'm going to do. But I hope, that at some point in the future. I can return with my motivation restored. And maybe let the wounds heal.

Question to all of my followers.
Posted 8 years agoI'm just a little curious. . . I've had my commissions open for a while now. (2+ Years I believe) and I don't ever really get anyone interested. I'm just kinda curious as to why people aren't interested to see if I can diagnose the problem. I would really like to write more stories for commissions. It keeps me motivated and it provides more stuff for you guys to read. So my question here is: Why aren't more people commissioning? Is it the prices? Are you unhappy with my quality of work? Be honest here, don't hold back. I want to get to the true source of why stories I do, or stories I do with Snow Blitz/Thunderchaser don't draw in more commission stories.

Selling rare diapers to pay for birthday gift for friend Lol
Posted 9 years agoSo some of you on this site have to be collectors of diapers. Well it just so happens that I'm selling some rare ones! I don't really have a price set but I want to be able to get my friend a nice birthday present and payback my other friend who I borrowed money from lol.
For the time being I only ship to America, because international is a pain. . . I mean I *might* do international but its more expensive and I'm not paying shipping.
Here's what I got:
Little Swimmers from the 90s Size M Boys. I Only have like. . . 9 of these? So I only want to part with a few of them. . .
http://i.imgur.com/ltcotTb.jpg
Vintage Huggies Size 5 from the 90s, I don't really want to part with these as I only have 4. . . so I'm only willing to part with one of these. . .
http://i.imgur.com/2bbQr9u.jpg
(I won't part with this for less than $25, AT LEAST. (not including shipping) Because thats what they're going for currently)
Size 5 Huggies for girls from Israel, Imported, pretty rare in America I think, Idk tho.
http://i.imgur.com/knFOZZ5.jpg
I've also aquired some Korean Goodnites L/XL Girls, the ones with the easy open sides, they're in the mail to me right now, I'll be selling some of those too.
*Note* Diapers that have been inported (The huggies from Israel and the Korean Goodnites) will cost more per diaper.
If you're interested let me know.

PSA, Scammer
Posted 9 years agoNow I don't know the whole story about what's going on here, but I know the artist Misty Dash, their supposid friend "Tom" and possibly Chuckybb are all the same person and are SCAM artists. From what I know from multiple people around me who have commissioned Misty and/or Tom, they take the money, and do little to no work on your picture, coming up with excuse after excuse. It's all bull. There was even an article a while back about how this person claimed to work at DHX and DHX denied it and all of the things around it, this person was thrown out of a con because of it, PAY THEM MONEY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Edit*: There is an artist-beware page for this person, recently discovered this.

Artist Wanted! (Among other things)
Posted 10 years agoSo as you all know I need an artist because I suck at art in big quantities.
Pay: I'm broke or I'd hire someone.
Job Entailment:
-Drawing between 4-7 images at one time for a story update.
-Ability to draw better than me
-Ability to draw within a reasonable amount of time. (Basically if you say you want to help, mean it, don't dick me around and take like 8 weeks to draw if you say it'll only take a few days.)
-Indifference to minor suggestiveness and adult themes involving teenaged characters. (They're teenagers and the main character is trans. . . they're going to have minor discussions about things and such, if you're uncomfortable with a specific comic update you don't have to do it if you've volunteered for the long run just tell me in advanced so I can find someone else to do that specific update.)
-A happy attitude! We need happy people not grumpy grumps.
-Someone who has ideas! We love ideas! Me and my co-writer for the Ruby Dressing blog (Avorin http://www.furaffinity.net/user/avorin/ )
If you're an awesome person who does charity for those less fortunate in the art department, shoot me a note! I really need some long term artists who are willing to pitch in! Or at least give me some pointers so I can learn how to draw better! ANY help is appreciated!
And if you can't art:
Share my tumblr around! I want it to get big! The more followers the better! The more questions the better, the ask box is empty AF.

Notice: STOP
Posted 10 years agoTo anyone who reads this, I am currently on strike with Derpibooru for them refusing takedown requests of my oc for images that I own the rights to as well as ignoring the takedown request from the artist who drew the picture. So I ask all of you not to repost pictures of Midnight, or any of my OC's to Derpibooru, if I want them there I'll post them myself. Thanks and good day.
Looking for another artist. . . again.
Posted 10 years agoSo as you all know by now I've started up my Tumblr blog for my OC Ruby Sparkler.
http://rubydressing.tumblr.com/
I'm currently looking for an artist who's willing to supplement the workload on myself and the current artist because well, We've established that I can't draw detailed updates, and I can't in good conscience ask him to work more than he already is due to his current workload on other projects.
If anyone is willing to come on and help out it would be greatly appreciated! If you're interested drop me a note!

Tumblr Started!
Posted 10 years agoSo I've officially started my Tumblr for my OC Ruby!
http://rubydressing.tumblr.com/
I'm heavily relying on guest artists at the moment so if you're an artist and you're interested in making a guest artist post please let me know!
The blog is about a transgendered colt's experiences as he starts his journey to transition to being a filly, it's going to have its fair share of both laughs and sad moments, ups and downs so prepare yourselves for what will hopefully be a good tumblr story blog!
For the moment the story posts will be a bit delayed because I don't have a guest artist who is free enough to do that much stuff, but asking questions is welcomed!

So again I ask if anyone here is an artist, please step forward! Any contribution of your wonderful talants would be greatly appreciated!
Tumblr Link:
