I Think People Get So Used To Their Own Creative Work That They Forget How Amazing It Is So I’m Making

I’ve seen a couple people say Mr Ring a Ding is a rip-off Bill Cipher, and like? They don’t even have anything in common? They’re just both chaotic cartoon god characters. They have different designs and motivations and styles and don’t actually seem remotely similar. I’m sooo tired of ppl saying “it’s Bill!” to every chaotic evil character. I like Bill as much as the next guy but a Disney villain from 2012 cannot have a monopoly on a very broad genre of villains for all of time I swear

Oh my word the amount of times I’ve gotten “are you available for commission?” commented on art that I posted 2 seconds ago. Instant red flag for such a quick reply.

Also check out the pages of anyone who tries to commission you through tumblr! If they have 0 posts or reblogs that’s an instant sign it’s an empty bot acc

Stay safe from scammers!

Hey guys let me tell you about advance fee scams

I hope y'all are familiar with these in this day and age, especially my artists out there, because they're incredibly common.

About half an hour ago I posted a drawing and tagged it #artists on tumblr, and very quickly received this comment.

My scam radar went off immediately, due to the generic blog name and lack of any emotion in the comment, but I decided it might be an entertaining venture so I dmed them. They asked for a drawing "of these", and sent me a random selfie. I got the details and told them it would be $15, and they promptly offered me $300. At this point I know it's a scam, but I play along for funsies and give them my paypal. Shortly, they send me this image for "confirmation" (I blocked out my email)

And they began to insist that I checked my email. I looked in my spam folder and found the following email.

This is fake. This is not a thing. And the "you're to refund the $200.00 back" is the scam. They send vaguely official-looking emails at you to "prove" that they sent you the money, then have you send them $200 (or however much the scam is for). Then, surprise surprise, you're out $200.

I continued to play along for a bit, and in the second email "Paypal" told me that I had to refund the $200 before they could "credit the $300 to my account", along with these lovely threats.

And yeah, it's silly. But it's not silly if you don't know and get scammed. So. Spread, please! And thank you very much to @mlaurel for the opportunity to get these screenshots.

Knock Out gathers shiny treasures and keeps them as a collection in his secret cave just like Ariel, and Breakdown enjoys sinking a fishing boat every day! haha

Reblog if you genuinely support asexuals

It terrifies me that there’s so much raging passion in the lgbt+ community that insist on marginalizing asexuals and implying that asexuals don’t deserve to have safe spaces. There’s still so much acephobia so I just wanna know which blogs are genuinely supportive and a safe space for asexuals
