How is it going everyone? I got a little something to say, on a journal that is here to stay.

1) Surprisingly, I do not accept gifts. I commission all of my art and pay it with my own money. I wish I could take them, but on top of leaving me to feel extremely guilty, some people in the past have approached me with the clear, malicious intent to offer me something, in order to get something else in return later down the line. As such, I prefer to turn down anything that is free.

2) Please, please do not contact me out of nowhere to ask me to buy a commission from you. I'm stunned I have to say so, but this has been happening far too many times for me already. This is both extremely disrespectful and irritating, and I'm not a money bag. I reach out by myself to artists I would like to work with, in a process I carefully plan over weeks. I know we all have to put food on the table, but this isn't a proper way to go about it. I'll be reasonable to people who might overlook this, but you will be met with hostility if you insist.

3) I will delete any shouts which have been copy-pasted on multiple profiles. If you want to leech views, don't do it on my page. Others might not see it, but I will find out, and since this is one of my absolute pet peeves, you also earn a free block. Not even having the decency to type out a proper, nice and different message for the people you reach out to baffles me beyond any common measure. Please don't fall for this, people. It's insulting.

That's all! I'm sad I have to make this journal... Makes me feel like the mean one all over again... Wishing a good day to everyone, though!
