And here we go again… I'm really just getting hit with a LOT right now and I don't have nearly enough to pay for all of it. Plus I still owe the well pump company $1550 and they're mad that I could only afford to give them $150 last month… [They don't want me making payments in the first place. They're pissed I didn't pay their almost $7000 bill back in December.] I also owe $300 to a tire company. And In a week I'll get the bills for the mortgage [which is just shy of an entire months pay.] The garbage bill, our car insurance. [The car payment will take my partners next paycheck.] The car needs an oil change again and my professional license renewal for my job is $80 and has to be paid before October. I feel literally sick. I'm sorry. Anything helps. ;_;

Late sotw: DnD✨

I feel like I wanna put my own thoughts here because a part of me can't help but feel frustrated with ppl's stances on it. And to clarify this is not disrespect to ANYONE but I know this is a fandom and most fandoms can never agree on anything.

warning: opinions

I see a lot of people saying that Eclipse x roxy seems to...almost, take away the wanted representation of a platonic duo, and honestly I completely understand the frustration that fans feel with tsams and eaps for the constant inclusion of coupled characters, but in my opinion I feel like with the amount of TIME put into eclipse's redemption, finding a partner is just a check on the list. Roxy is the CLOSEST anyone has ever gotten to eclipse, he respects her, he finds her useful.

MOST partners usually are FRIENDS before LOVERS. I do feel the frustration but what representation is being taken away if it was never there?? in my opinion I think from the beginning roxy was planned to have some sort of connection with eclipse and naturally that would've built up over time.

As a check on the list, he finds hobbies, things to distract himself from work, KIDS to take care of, yes, roxy is a co-parent but she's also someone eclipse trusts more than enough to handle thing's he can't. You could say that about most of the characters but compared to roxy I would say even SHE cares about his well being MORE than anyone else!

Now of course, this fandom may end up doing what they did when solar x nebula became a thing...harassment, doxing, being just petty to ppl in general because god forbid tsbs want an actual healthy relationship for their characters. Most Startools haters were ruin x solar shippers or even solar x NEXUS shippers. The fact of the matter is those ships had too many issues in CANON to be anywhere NEAR healthy. But that's what the fans want and that's what they demand. They got nova frost, they got ruin and monty, and honestly I love them too because at least they have mutual and romantic attraction towards each other but in my opinion, to say eclipse and roxy have no chemistry at all couldn't be farther from the truth.

Eclipse states himself that he hardly even has time to THINK about his feelings towards anyone or sit down to think about something that could just let him relax, to say he's on that level in sexuality like Moon, where he could care less about dating when eclipse never even really sat down and THOUGHT about it enough to have a clear stance on it, baffles me. He said HIMSELF in "why eclipse doesn't date", he wouldn't hate the thought of being with someone. and whether Roxy is actually attracted to him or not, she's most definitely, and objectively the better option for him, even just to see how it feels to have those kinds of feelings.

These are just my opinion for the most part but I felt like I wanted to get it out there.

Side note: You don't have to ship it if it becomes canon anyways. I cannot stand seeing posts of ppl saying they're gonna "end" it or quit social media if something becomes canon or not dude. It's fictional, it does NOT affect you THAT much.

you can use it if you want <3

My art was stolen by stores and made into products for sale

Just the day before yesterday, I was told by a friend that my work had been stolen without my knowledge by a private store on PDD (Pinduoduo, a Chinese e-commerce platform), who had made my art into products and sold them for profit! They even erased my signature and mark (momo-mark), and put the words "Don't steal" on the promotional image.

So brazen.

I contacted the store the moment I found out about it, told them I was the owner of the image and warned them to take the item off the shelves immediately. I also spread the word within the Chinese DCA fandom community not to buy this product. I would like to thank Ms. Summer @summeramkuv for her help in spreading the word and reporting it, without her things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

It took two days from the time of the incident, the report was very fruitful and the product has now been taken down without any problems.

However, the moment the matter was resolved, I found out that another store had stolen other artists' works and made products to sell commercially as well.

Some people have helped to contact the artist, and others like me have posted on social media telling people not to make purchases.

I'm not the only victim.

I only post my work on LOF/QQ/tumblr/pin (LOFTER and QQ are both Chinese social media apps), so I've done something about my social media as well, I've deleted some of my QQ friends and taken steps to ban people from downloading my work from LOF.

I have also been alerted to people posting my work on pin, I am Chinese , my language skills and energy are limited, there is no way I can do to warn all the people who posting my work away. 

And now I will use bigger and bigger markers try to avoid this situation.Post more of my art on PIn and tell everyone: I'm the one who drew this!!!!

Outside of the initial, I've received some unreasonable accusations from someone (who also posts on tumblr) who accused me on QQ of unilaterally deleting her friends.

And warned me on my private channel:f I can't talk properly, don't talk at all.

(Blue: my reply. red: her statement) My relationship with her has only been a conversation on a public channel, not a close friendship. She is a person who likes to complain on public channels, and we all just verbally care about and comfort her.

I have responded positively and told her: if you are embarrassed about seeing my posts, I will block you. Making friend is a two-way street and I have my standards.

I was just expounding on my experience and had no intention of picking a fight, I've resolved everything, which is why I'm posting here to share what happened to me, and hopefully to warn some of the people out there against maliciously stealing an artist's work and disrupting the environment of the community.

We are all here together to create and share, not to complain and accuse each other!

I've been very distracted by all of this lately, making art for dca famdom is just a hobby for me, and if this hobby affects my daily life and my socializing, then I'll just have to give up making art for this community ……

I love the dca community on tumblr, thanks for the everyone's support!

Ahem... I might be rooting for those two, what's it to you?/silly
