I don’t like to bother and this is a long read, so I apologize a bit in advance, but I’m in a situation where I must do this.
Some of you know my situation and I know some of you really worry about it, but for those who don’t I’ll try to sum it up: Up until recently I lived in Venezuela, which as many of you know is currently a dictatorship where civil rights are trampled over daily and basic stuff like food, medical attention or even clean water were near impossible to obtain.
During the protests in these few past months I was pointed at with a gun by someone because people were robbing a supermarket near my apartment and I decided I couldn’t take it anymore so I took my little savings and went elsewhere. It was hard and I went through some hardships like government refusing to issue passports and highways being blocked because of protests (Nearly missed my flight), but I made it out in the end.
Sadly, now that I’m in another country, things are really looking up.
I chose Chile because of its inmigration laws making the whole process easier than other countries, at least for me as a Venezuelan. My plans were to rent a small place, work and well, survive just like back in Venezuela; I did find a small place with some basic furniture that runs me about $600 a month (Including water, electricity and good it goes up to about $850-$900 a month).
I know it doesn’t sound like much for many, but since I haven’t found a job yet and my only source of income is Patreon and commissions it’s been quite stressful, because Patreon’s income tends to fluctuate monthly and I get 2-3 commissions a month if I’m lucky and I’m already cutting down on food and eating twice or sometimes once a day.
Some of you might wonder why I’m not working I bet. Laws here state that I need a permit in order to work or be hired, said permit takes an average of 60 office days in being processed, and I’m still waiting for a response (It should take 1.5-2 more months according to some inmigration officers) because the Inmigration Department is currently saturated with work.
My mental health has deteriorated quite a lot these months, to the point were I suffer anxiety attacks almost daily, constant depression, my apetite has gone down a lot and I have stress bouts that give me strong headaches, all because losing patrons or barely getting any notes on my work.
I have asked openly others for advice regarding how to raise my popularity, which characters would people like to see, if they want me to see me try a new style or something, asking others for publicity, etc. I really don’t even know what to do at this point and I’m seriously wondering if my work is so bad that there’s nothing to be done about it, being honest I wish I could do anything else but this is all I have and I’m afraid of starving or ending up homeless, I’m in a new place and I don’t even have a safety net here or back in Venezuela. I can’t even go back to my old country anymore with the current shit going on.
The point of this post is just to ask of you to please share my work in your networks if you can, my Patreon ads or just my page (FB, Tumblr, etc). Tell your friends about it, spread the word, reblog if possible, so people know about my work and hopefully help me out by commissioning me or pledging on Patreon or something. Heck, if you don’t want to pledge or want a commission done and still want to help me somehow I could accept some aid via Paypal.
If you really can’t help in any way, not even sharing or hitting the reblog button in this or my work, it’s okay. I’m not gonna get upset or anything, just know that I’d be infinitely grateful for some help in these dire straits I’m in.
Started DRK awhile ago, thought that I couldn’t make it. But by watching the determination of @dravanianstardust, @zahkis-ffxiv and @redde-ffxiv it gives me hope to overcome my fear and actually push forward until I hit the lvl 60 (yeah because I wanna take my time to do all Stormblood content ^^”).
And thank you all very much again and you too @tidusyumemiru
for your support
♥
Embrace the darkness, my child, I’m proud of you ❤
Thank you very much, catte daddy ❤ I’ll do my best !
You’ll do fine! I believe in you!♥ *sends hugs*
@zahkis-ffxiv is that by the flower thing in the back of the FC yard? xD
I see a lot of people unwilling to rp with me because my muse is trans, and because of that I feel nobody in the rp community ever will. So, yeah, reblog if you would rp with trans muses (nonbinary muses included).
The highlander seems a bit misty eyed after the pair had painted the eyebrows on him. The idea was so straightforward and obvious he honestly never had thought of it himself.
He had just crouched down for a closer look at the bushy brows and they must have noticed his were missing.
He thanked them for the eyebrows and went home. For the next few hours @smolbeastmaster confused banged on the bathroom door wondering what was going on as for the first time in his life Aldis began to learn and practice the flirty eyebrow waggle… He planned to perfect it before he would leave
-5 hours later Ra’harl was forced to watch unending eyebrow waggles until they passed out
((ahh those two are adorable – gives them a giant dalamud caked covered in rolanberries with chocolate spears through it-))
Oh my god…. those two troublemakers! Ra’harl will need to give them some new stuffed toys in thanks for giving Aldis his biggest dream.
-gives the two a stuffed qiqirn and a stuffed wolf toy in appreciation for the Highlander’s brows-
