Sad chicken for @/ffxiv_nugget from the Yuan|EN rp venue #ffxiv #ff14 #jollibee

non-filipinos will never get to experience the joy of just replying "weh" to someone being stupid

FORGET TICKLING I AM GOING TO KILL YOU THORDAN

@roxoah_ I hope you know that there's someone from the complete opposite side of the world who's always, always rooting for you, even if schedule and timezones keep us from hanging out ✨️ I'm always grateful for your friendship and I always think of you fondly

late night melancholy thought posting that I'll definitely delete later, but I need it off my chest sometimes I think back of my late teen years to early 20s, and how I had a group of friends who would always spend time together. in the DM, group calls- no matter the hour and timezones. then we all had to navigate the "time to become adult" timeline of our lives and we slowly stopped hanging out until the entire group chat just disappeared. On top of that, I had to figure out a completely new lifestyle as I transitioned too. now I'm nearing my mid 30s. I still talk to friends from back in the day, but everyone's much busier. So am I, but since I'm lucky enough to call art my career and I work from home I have a lot more time to spend around others. I'll see people hang out with their friends, have dedicated people they always run to for [group] collabs etc, and I'm so happy for them!! but in the back of my mind, I can't help but feel lonely and yearn to have stupid group chats and calls, even if we're hanging out silently and doing our own thing. I KNOW this is bullshit @ my brain feeling sad, because I KNOW I have friends who care for me and I care deeply for them- but as some of you know I struggle deeply with depression, and have ever since I 13. I've been through a lot of trauma in my younger years, and never really had the chance to be a kid. I'd like to say I've overcome the darkest part of it- I'm strong enough to not give in because there's so many things I still want to do, but there's days where it's a little hard to walk hand in hand with depression and it'll pull ahead of me- like today. Where my thoughts will spiral out of control. I don't talk about this often, but I often feel like I don't really fit in anywhere. I'm just there. Not a burden, just..here. But for those bandits who always show up, it really means a lot. I appreciate you all, and you keep my mind from straying. Nothing is scarier to me than silence, and having to live in that silence with the voices in my head. At this point, I don't even know where I'm going anymore- I just wanted to air something I've been feeling for a long time. I just never post because I don't want to come across as "whiny", since I've got it good. I have a partner, a place to live, my two cats, great friends and a fantastic community, and I truly appreciate you all <3 I'm not going anywhere, don't worry. Sometimes I just need to take a step back. it's hard to stay strong 24/7.

@p0nsea CONGRAAATSSS

ffxiv returning to high fantasy after cyberpunk hell we are so back

#2mlsells wts lfb ph skz straykids 2minlixcart stay in the loop onhand + pre-order stickers & keyrings - price: ₱20 - ₱150 - onhand stocks are limited, more details are in the form order form: cognitoforms.com/_2minlixcart/_… doo: May 2,2026

(would like to add that it's not the price itself but the way the prices are presented)

I feel like the recent USD to PHP conversion has really gotten me fatigued, like. I know 1k PHP is bigger than 10 USD by a lot, but I'd rather comm someone whose comms cost 1k PHP than 10 USD (numbers simplified) (Thank you vgen for showing me prices in my local currency)

@FilCommsArtHub HOWEVER if what you're trying to do is advertise Filipino artists to US clients, then yes, this is very helpful!

@FilCommsArtHub I was glad to see this page! That being said, as someone from the PH, I'm often looking for information in PHP (or at least the artists' local currency, if they're abroad. What if they're not in the US?) and local payment options as well. Otherwise, this doesn't help much :'(

It's kinda odd prior to me making this acct there wasn't a dedicated gimmick acct for Filipino art reccs at least in the traditional sense when Filipino artists are literally in the millions & are far from being an obscure group in the art community 😭

@lucesamaaa local expenses have already gone up by more than what the increase is, so your purchasing power has actually gone down even though you're making "more" pesos

as a filipino artist, i am conflicted about this news

@no_more_ren I feel like the key thing is that the topic of the contest should not have any benefit to you, the contest holder, and you shouldn't get to own the artwork either (?) like, instead of "draw my OC" contest, it could be a "here is a pose reference, draw your own OC" contest, etc?

How do you host an art contest where people have to draw free art for you with a slight chance someone wins? You just get multiple free works :(

@nouconcept nidoran (female) !! your pokemon art is SO cute !!

Since Pokémon Day is getting near... I want to draw your favorite Pokémon! 🧡🎨 Please comment with your fav Pokémon and I'll make a silly, colorful sketch for you!! 😊

@merururuu It's been multiple years at this point hahaha, it's not for lack of waiting

@merururuu Yeap, pretty common. Off the top of my head I can think of 4 artists who've ghosted me (over $400 in comms for just those guys, paid in full), and I'm a casual collector

I keep seeing “artists don’t deliver the comms i paid for a year ago” posts VERY often now. Are these all real? Or some could be bait… 🤔 I know some artists don’t deliver on time and make clients wait long, but is it THAT common?

@KkyayCanCreate I'm not sure why! Could you DM me please?

@hamskal Oh why not? If you need my discord I can provide it!

Does anyone have a toyhouse code that they could dm me I reeeeally want to make a toyhouse account for my ocs but I cannot find a code anywhere 😭

@KkyayCanCreate OH i cant dm you :0

@hamskal Yes I do..🙏

@daepicmouse Let's not hit day 2 ovo still need?
