So, I never posted here that I'm open for commissions but why don't give it a try ✨
Like last year I want to work together with authors bringing their characters to life. So if you're looking for an artist for character art, here I am 😅

Hey friends!
February's Lelomail theme is "Besties" ❤️
There will be two clear stickers so that you can give one to a friend if you like :>
To get these rewards, sign up on patreon.com/paraply before the end of the month!
overview of my Patreon rewards of the month: an A6 print of three dogs putting together a heart made of three big puzzle pieces, captioned "i love my friends", two clear stickers looking like friendship bracelet style charms with beads spelling out "friends forever", a small vinyl sticker of my mascot Lelo receiving a letter from a friend, and a sticker sheet with various stickers fitting the theme

FLESH AND IVORY 🗡️🩸
a personal meditation on gender, sexuality, and religion, in which the 'sacred' becomes a site of terror, and redemption is instead found in the profane

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

I can only draw ONE face for my ocs because I invested half my soul creating Pablo, like Míriel giving birth to Fëanor, so now every time I draw a guy its this things face. My firstborn. My son, whom I personally birthed at age 16

A banner of two masculine characters leaning up against a birch tree. The one on the left is an Indigenous man wearing a vest covered in beadwork, and the one on the right has paler skin and orange hair, wearing a blue shirt with tassels on the chest. Both have soft expressions as they hold hands. Gold decorations frame the corners of the image, and the text "We've Always Been Here" takes over the right side in flowy, mock-gold text. A small note in the corner also reads, "Work in Progress Image."

‼️ URGENT MUTUAL AID REQUEST ‼️

Please help me move out safely. I'm being kicked out of my current living space. I need to be out by April 1st. The details are in the post. I need a min.of 2000 CAD. Ko-fi link here:

ko-fi.com/themythicbun...

#mutualaid #trans #disabled #helpsky #disabledcrowdfund
Revon, a disabled man wearing his brace and using his cane, stands under a spotlight with the words in large letters: HELP ME LEAVE MY ABUSIVE HOUSE! aka, my abusive mother is kicking me out. Please. HELP. Revon, a disabled man wearing his brace and using his cane, stands under a spotlight with the words detailing his request with some words emphasized: I'm making a mutual aid request. I need help. My mother has issued me an eviction notice. I have to leave by April 1st, or she will kick me out with police force. She has threatened to do this a couple times. This time, I know she means it. I will be moving in with @CryptAesthetics, who has been made aware of every step of her abuse since it began. We're aiming to move out by the end of March, and I need assistance raising money to pay for first & last month's rent, plus movers for myself since most of my friends do not drive, but can help pack. Whatever else we make will help me puchase house essentials & mobility assistance, and help pay part of @CryptAesthetics first/last, too. We are looking to raise a minimum of 2000 CAD. 1500 for first/last on my part, 300 for movers, & 200 for a new mattress for myself. If you can help, please donate to my ko-fi: ko-fi.com/themythicbunny or my paypal, linked in the replies of this post. In the following image, I will be detailing the situation as it's unfolded, with the added notion that I do not have steady access to the kitchen, and thus haven't been able to keep or have food steadily since August, and must constantly order food, putting myself in debt to feed myself. I've saved up 200 the last two months by limiting food. Revon, a disabled man wearing his brace and using his cane, stands under a spotlight with the words detailing his situation, with some words emphasized with different colour: In December 2023, I re-connected with my abusive mother who claimed to have changed and was 'doing better'. After a couple of months, I thought this change was permanent, and she made the offer to move in with her in April 2024, in my childhood home. This was my mistake. I trusted her, and put faith in her, hoping that the change she displayed was permanent. It was not. For the past two years, her treatment towards me has worsened significantly, especially these last several months. It turns out, just because someone doesn't beat you anymore, doesn't mean they've stopped being abusive altogether. She has completely iced me out while removing access to essentials such as access to the bathroom on the same floor my room is (I am disabled. I can't be constantly going up and down stairs. She forces me to do this anyways by locking the door every night), removed toilet paper handles, taken away essentials I helped purchase with my own money, financially abused and harassed me, gaslit me, has weaponized, discriminated, and mocked my mental and physical disabilities, because they 'made her life worse', threatened to keep me hostage in her house until I paid her back money that I owed her, and turned every single one of these situations into her being the victim. Now, she's misgendering me and actively insulting me and my siblings loudly on the phone and to friends, slamming doors, cussing and cursing about me when I'm home, and doing everything she can to scare me. It's working. I'm scared. And I need out.

An illustration of a loon biting a white snake in half with an 8 pointed star above its head. The illustration is very high contrast in red, black and white.

Oh Lord, return me to dust ✦

[ #art #ocs #angeloc ]
A muted-blue halfbody illustration of a male character, Eden, long white hair wild around him and centered by two columns, surrounded by chrysanthemums. He looks blankly upward, half of his face completely white and dripping down to pool into loosely cupped hands, then falling further as "dust". He wears loose, draping fabrics and shining gold jewelry accents. A red string cuts through the lower half, circling around his wrist.

No ICE in Europe.
Ice members should be banned from entering the EU on the basis of them possibly being a threat to our society and european values.
