Woah, Matt Groening made this? I never knew that!

My shoulder is yours to cry on, and my ear is yours to bend. If you need anything, I will do my best to accommodate you. What has happened in this world is horrifying, and there is no excuse to spill innocent blood, no matter what. I will pray for all of you, and as I said, my door is open to you.

That sucks. I hope you get things taken care of very soon. I'm sorry you have to deal with this at Christmas.

I share this dream. You've spurred me on to pick it up again. Maybe we can help each other?

Funny thing is, no. Any Earth blows up scenes I saw after that don't phase me at all. But those OG three still bug the hell out of me, and I'm 31.

What's going on?

Are you okay?

While a small follower base may seem a lot less impressive, it's a hell of a lot more sincere. Five followers doesn't seem like much when it's a small number next to a thumbs-up icon. But don't look at it like that. Think of it as five people standing around you, cheering you on. That's way better.

It's more like being at a convention in your own booth. There are a lot of people, but not all of them are here to support you. Sure, you'll get people who stop by and make a purchase, but others will chat for a while, some look at your stuff and leave without a word, and some just don't even stop.

The younger ones are less likely to catch on and draw or even act the fetish out. Also, the more someone comms a specific theme or situation, the more likely it is to be a fet. Be careful. If something doesn't feel right about what the client asks for, do not accept it.

Harassment from customers isn't part of the job for retail workers, restaurant employees, or maintenance people. They are just a human doing their job as best as they can. Artists are no different, so please don't make their work life hell.

If you are going to commission an artist to draw your fetish, be honest with them. Tell them upfront it's a fetish. Some artists are surprisingly accommodating about it. However, no does not mean yes or try harder. No means no. If they turn it down, thank them for their time and move on.

Manipulating unsuspecting artists into being your fetish farm can do them a lot of damage. Their work on this fetish will follow them for the rest of their careers. People see it and think it's their own fetish. It can lead to mockery, stereotypes, and other people with that fetish to find them.
