There Have Been Many Cases Already International Clients Dropping Their Commissions From Filipino Artists

there have been many cases already international clients dropping their commissions from filipino artists or avoiding commissioning filipino creators altogether, either due to a fear of consequences getting associated with us because of current events or the misguided notion that not supporting us somehow hurts the oppressive government we’re under. lemme address both those issues:

for the first reason, nothing will happen to you, a foreigner, for supporting filipinos. theres nothing to be afraid of, youre not in this country and wont suffer any consequences. many of us, however? we’re afraid. especially artists and creators who rely on commissions to support themselves and their families

for the second reason, you are not hurting our oppressors at all. you are hurting filipinos, majority of which did not want this to happen and are actively speaking out against the looming dictatorship. dropping filipino creators does nothing but hurt us. our inflation rates are predicted to rise, and money is fast becoming an even bigger issue for so so many

so if youre looking for art, dont give up on us. commission filipino artists and/or boost commission posts! 1 USD is literally enough to buy a meal here, it really helps. here is a link to a thread of filipino artists posting their commission rates. and here is another thread of filipino commission rates. tips and donations outside of comms to these artists help even more.

Fuck it, we ape shit.

Be Sexy and Generate Idiocy

So there’s this AI quote generator called Inspirobot.me, and apparently it can generate some funny and arbitrary quotes. So I decided to save a few and throw AEWVS over it lol.

I want this to be Tiara and Alice’s dynamic so bad.

“Ohh Billy, it’s so sad that your girlfriend left you :( how could she leave such an attractive well-made charismatic widowed mam like you *cough cough* Do you wanna call me after this?”

-Mira Lane, I think

I headcannon that the hieroglyphics on the slates in Alex's realm can be shifted into whatever he wants.

So say that Olivia and Scrina bring Alice to his realm b/c Alice is a history teacher and she can probs translate it?

Scrina: I want to know what this means. It has always bothered me.

Olivia: *nods in agreement*

Alice: *looks at pillar of stone*

Alice: *With a disgruntled face* It just says 'pee pee poo poo'.

Olivia and Scrina: ......what.

*Very distant and bellowing laughter can be heard*

Tiara: Of course it would say that. Alex is a little shit.

What if dogs could talk and some called their crate a man cave
