"why are we LYING and saying THIS social media is better for art than that social media because OBVIOUSLY that social media is better and-"
shut up. the site that will be ""most useful"" for selling your work has nothing to do with the site itself and everything to do with 1. if the people you want to sell to are there (and, surprise, there are other users on literally every site) and 2. if you can tolerate using it enough to reach an audience.
implying signing up for different social media is the only way to succeed as an artist is just straight up stupid. you want people to find your work? try starting with remembering to sign your fuckin name on it

do you think stewy is old money rich?
yes i doooooo i think stewy’s family (and im sure this is the assumption we’re supposed to make) comes from a long line of very wealthy generational wealth. still not at the level of the roys considering the roys are supposed to be one of the richest families in the world, but very wealthy. im sure they lost a chunk of it in the revolution and after they immigrated, but again, remained very wealthy. i do however think that stewy now is the richest he’s ever been

Hellooo
I dont wanna bother you, but would you wappen to know what that concept art of old marc was for?
Also i love your blog, makes me happy to read the tags too
Hello! Thank you so much for stopping by; I’m glad you’re enjoying this blog! :D And please, never wonder about bothering me, as I always love having a reason to go down a Moon Knight-related research rabbit hole hahaha
Nonetheless,,,,I know y’all can’t see me, so just imagine some vaguely human-shaped entity, head in hands. When I tell you I spent hours going through my posts and spinning up some increasingly bonkers boolean searches for this 🤣 and don’t get me wrong, it was absolutely a labor of love, but I’m still not entirely sure I found the exact concept art you’re referring to.
Closest thing I could find was the concept art for an aged Marc Spector in Battleworld: Secret Wars Journal (Vol. 1/2015), #1 by Luca Pizzari (which objectively I think is dope as all get out and I’m glad I found it, but I’m still not sure exactly if it’s what you’re looking for).
Hope this is of some use to someone out there! Sorry if I’m off-base; I completely respect the desire to remain anonymous, so please feel free to send another ask or perhaps a DM with any more possible details or the exact image you would like to learn more about (as again, I don’t need much of a reason to keep researching Moon Knight things :D).

One of my audiobook clients sent me a screenshot today. 25,000 - that's TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND - sales of her books I've narrated through Findaway Voices.
This is an author who took a chance on me when I was starting out. I'm so grateful it's paid off for her.
There are few better feelings for me than seeing a client do well like this. It makes no difference to me - I got paid a flat rate up front and get no percentage of royalties - but knowing that my work brought her financial success is an awesome feeling.
It's been a tough week on a lot of fronts for me (dead starter motor in my car, hard at the day job) so that was exactly the bit of boost I needed today.
Onwards and upwards.

short-ish vent/explanation as to why things have been so slow sobs
I don’t really feel the passage of time anymore but it’s crazy how much time I’ve lost just since February to just one after another dealing with the house pets. First our puppy’s neuter, then my sister bringing her cats into the house, her cats tearing things up and needing to be watched constantly (by me of course bc I’m the only one here), her cats then giving everyone ringworm which was a nearly 2 month ordeal that we’re still recovering from physically and financially, and now both puppies (one has seemed to recover now) are having some sort of intestinal issue the vets don’t know the cause of, but I’m just cleaning bloody diarrhea (its not parvo, the vet tested) and doing laundry all day.
I never really got the chance to recover from the introduction of the puppies back in September last year. I feel like my life has been overtaken by all these animals completely against my will and out of my control. Mom is just hemorrhaging money from all these obligations and vet bills she never planned/asked for, and I’m trying to help (despite none of these pets being mine) while also barely having the time to work that I used to. I used to be able to sit at my desk nearly all day without being interrupted but now dealing with all these animals by the time I get to sit at my desk I’m exhausted and it’s like 7pm but I gotta get up at 6am to give out medications and make breakfast for 5 pets.
Its starting to calm down but I’m just really upset over how all this affected my ability to work since these extended wait times reflects on my business very poorly and it’s just been killing me because this is not how I normally conduct things but I just had the rug completely snatched from under me and haven’t really been able to get back up.
I also want to make clear that none of these animals are mine, nor did I have anything to do with the decision making to get them. I was told by my fam that it was expressly kept secret from me- literally until the animals came through the front door, because they knew I’d be upset because I’d have to watch them since I’m the only one home. The only pet that belongs to me is my leopard gecko who is a perfect angel boy who I’ve had not one issue with since getting him (he just turned 2 last month).
Things are (hopefully) starting to stabilize, I’m praying that we can have just a little time without an animal having some sort of health crisis. I’m really sorry this has been such a long running thing, I never could have anticipated for any of it. I’m so grateful for the patience of my commissioners and am especially sorry to them, this isn’t normally how my business handles and I’m really ashamed of it.

Did silverwastes (red rock bastion in particular) and BOY DO I MISS IT. I spent probably 100 hours there alone in it's heyday, countless base defenses and boss kills under my belt.
I have to say, though, that for the first time I was made keenly aware of how much the introduction of mounts ruined maps not originally designed for them. Say what you want about convenience, but Silverwastes had a distinct feeling when you had to run everywhere that is now entirely gone. I'm not even covering how many overworld events get missed because the bulk of the group hopped onto griffons and skyscales and is halfway across the (smaller, meant for foot travel) map before you're even out of combat. I'm only talking about the vibes of the map, the way I felt as a character playing through it, and my immersion in their world.
Silverwastes was my favorite map bar none. I loved the event cycle, and more than that, I loved how it made me actually feel like a commander in the Pact. The constant flipflop of defending/rebuilding was such a tight game play loop, and you even had built-in ways to help while you're getting there because of the caravan routes. And for the final event, Vinewrath had some really good design principles (was just re-marveling over how they prevent lane spillage post-boss defeat with a single status, the other lanes still being relevant even after their boss is dead, etc).
And when I was fighting those bosses and the Vinewrath trio, it feels like you're really dealing a blow to Mordremoth. And that!! Was how it was meant to feel!!! The all-time high of the Silverwastes assault followed by the absolutely crushing loss in Verdant Brink was so masterful that I still think about it nearly a decade later.
When you would look up and see one of the copters, you would feel like you had artillery backup. Like the weight of the Pact was fully behind you while you marched into hell. Now I look up, and I see a skyscale dyed like Spyro the dragon. And it suddenly feels so cheap. I don't mind transmogs that are "lore breaking", but I do kind of mind this. Maybe because I remember how it felt before.
It felt so much better.

Celebrating a Milestone: Over 20,000 Sales and 10,000 Five-Star Reviews on my Etsy Shop: Flower Therapy Healer
Shaina Tranquilino
December 31, 2023
www.etsy.com/shop/flowertherapyhealer
What a blessing and a great way to end the year for me! To have reached this incredible milestone of over 20,000 sales and 10,000 five-star reviews on my Etsy shop. It's truly a humbling experience to see the impact my distant energy healing services have had on so many lives.
When I first started my Etsy shop offering distant energy healing services, I had no idea what the future would hold. I knew that I wanted to share my passion for energy healing with others and provide them with a way to experience its profound benefits, even from afar. Little did I know that this humble beginning would lead me to where I am today - celebrating such an extraordinary achievement.
To all my distant energy healing clients, I want to express my deepest gratitude. Your trust in me and willingness to explore the possibilities of remote healing has been the driving force behind this success. Each sale and every positive review is a testament to the transformational experiences you've had through my services, and it fills my heart with joy knowing that I've made a difference in your lives.
Energy healing is not always easy to understand or accept for some people. The concept of receiving healing energies from a distance can seem unconventional or even unbelievable at times. However, these incredible results speak louder than words and serve as evidence of the power of energetic connections transcending time and space.
Through years of practice, study, and dedication, I have honed my skills as an energy healer. My goal has always been to create a safe and sacred space for each client, allowing them to receive the deep healing they seek. Whether it's physical ailments, emotional blockages, or spiritual growth, my intention has been to support you on your unique journey towards wellness and wholeness.
The beauty of distant energy healing lies in its accessibility. No matter where you are in the world, we can connect energetically without boundaries or limitations. This universal connection allows me to tap into your unique energy field and facilitate powerful healing, even from thousands of miles away. It's a truly awe-inspiring experience to witness the transformative impact this practice has had on countless lives.
I want to extend my appreciation not only to my clients but also to the Etsy community for providing a platform where I can share my services with the world. The support and encouragement from fellow shop owners and customers have been invaluable throughout this journey. The Etsy platform has allowed me to reach a wide audience and connect with individuals who are seeking alternative methods of healing and personal growth.
As I reflect on this milestone, I am filled with gratitude for every person who has crossed paths with my Etsy shop. Each transaction represents more than just a sale; it signifies an opportunity for healing, growth, and self-discovery. It is an honour and privilege to be part of each client's journey towards wellness.
Looking ahead, I am excited to continue expanding my offerings and reaching even more individuals in need of distant energy healing. Your continued support fuels my passion for this work, motivating me to push boundaries and explore new avenues for serving you better.
Once again, thank you from the depths of my heart for being a part of this incredible achievement. Together, we are creating ripples of positive change in the world through the power of distant energy healing.

“Though there are many sayings, life is to gladly become a piece of coal for someone other than myself. From the day the floors grow cold to the day spring comes, the most beautiful thing in the streets of the Korean peninsula is a truck that fervidly climbs up the hill with coal. As if it knows what it has to do, coal burns endlessly once its body catches fire, but I was oblivious even though I had warm rice and soup every day.
Because I feared becoming a lonely lump of ashes after loving others with my whole being, I haven’t become coal for anyone. When I think about it, life is to shatter myself into pieces. I had never thought of clearing the streets for others to tread when the world is slippery from early morning snow.
”
— Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Episode 12.
