Filling out a description is like trying to write a love letter to that Senpai you've been admiring and then realizing you are not a japanese school girl and you just tried to write a love letter to an american guy who wears baggy pants and shows off his superman underwear to the world, when batman is clearly better.
While our most celebrated practitioners of throwing shade tend to be entertainers like Nicki Minaj, Beyoncé, RuPaul and Cher, several public and political figures from around the world have shown a talent for tactfully taking Trump down. The shade has only just begun. Read more

Think about this the next time you even dare suggest an artist lower their prices.
Me when people at cons say $5 sketches are ‘too expensive’ or are upset that I now charge $10 for full figures.
Honestly I have never seen a tumblr artists’ commission prices and thought “too expensive.” I understand it’s a fan community, but when the average retoucher charges 100$/hour and artists are charging like, 20$ max for like a FULL COLOURED THING PERSON THING??? i’m like WHAT??? I CAN”T EVEN FUCKING DRAW A BLOB that would take me 500 years why is it 20$ and i just sit there bein glike. so. what if i bought 20. or whatever.
the point is I think tumblr should look at creative services and what they charge. I shot casual grad photos as a favour for someone and it was 70$/30 minutes. FANDOM ARTISTS ARE GIVING IT TO YOU EASY LSKDJFLSDKJ give them your money as fast as you can i don’t think this is sustainable nad you should get it while stocks last.
please remember that tipping someone when you commission them is absolutely something you can do! artists have to set their prices to what the market average is on this site (which is woefully low) so tipping an extra £5 or £10 can really help. consider it next time you commission someone.
I will probably never buy art. Mostly because I’m poor. Instead I will be thrilled silly by art won in contests, and reblog artists I enjoy.
I’ve absolutely seen art that’s too expensive. And by ‘too expensive’, I mean I cannot fathom, in my financial state, buying high-priced art of my character (no matter how much I love her.) Because.. I have bills. It is too expensive for me.
AND SO DO ARTISTS. It’s their time and their skill and their budget so they can charge whatever the hell they want, within reason. (And by that, I mean a ten minute sketch ought not cost 100 dollars.) You’re buying something because you can’t do it yourself. So if an artist charges ‘too much’, that means they’re charging too much for you. Not that their prices are unfair.
There’s nothing wrong with a little light negotiation. And negotiating requires things on both sides. Ask for the style you like, but with no background or limited shading for a slightly lower price; maybe that’s worth it for the artist because it could take less time and work. And if it’s not, drop it and scout around for an artist or different type of art that fits your budget. But do not tell them that they need to change their prices for you. What the hell.

I’m sick of people treating YouTubers like bums. I decided to speak out.
I appreciate it :) we’re more than just the money we earn
Except none of that is actually work.
Realistically they have to produce an hours content a day
Now the bigger youtubers have more edited stuff. So an hours content could be 3 hours of footage recorded. Maybe more.
So 3 hours of recording 4 hours editing That’s 7 hours A day 7 days a week.
49 hours a week 2,548 hours a year 461 hours more than the average amount of hours worked in a year.
That’s before you account for fan correspondence and other social media stuff.
That’s how they make money. It’s a job Therefore it’s work.
Screaming into a camera and playing and is not work
By that logic. Acting Music Anything to do with television Stand up comedy
None of those things would be work because they’re doing something they enjoy.
They’re doing it to entertain others.
Ah yes, it’s not work, that means anyone should be able to do it with equal success.
Good luck, your time begins now.
Respect YouTubers 2k17
Wow holy shit
ENJOYING WHAT YOU DO DOES NOT NEGATE THE EFFORT PUT INTO YOUR CAREER
Honestly this is a problem with creatives in general. Just because it’s art or entertainment doesn’t mean it’s not work. Just because there’s passion doesn’t mean there isn’t a crap ton of actual effort to put out a good product. The fact they find it fun and enjoyable motivates them to put in more effort than others. There’s a market for their product and they successfully reach that demographic.
What’s so wrong with making a living off something like that?
Working for something that actually pleases you? HOW DARE YOU.

A gay man who happens to look eerily similar to anti-LGBT extremist and Vice President-elect Mike Pence is putting his looks to good use ― by wandering the streets of NYC in short shorts and collecting money to benefit important organizations.
