Eugh

artist needed money for college, people from tumblr/dA told them their prices were too expensive and that no one would commission them.

artist was desperate and logged on to their old Furaffinity account to take commissions

artist got a shitton of commissions and everyone was supportive and encouraging

people ended up tipping the artist 10-20$ per commission because they thought the artist was undercharging

As many of you may have noticed, Supper Mario Broth does not operate on a consistent schedule, often suffering from hiatuses lasting weeks or months.

Readers of Supper Mario Broth who have conversed with me privately have known for a long time that the reason for this is my financial struggles. I often cannot afford the Internet access, or even electricity costs, necessary to run the blog. Before now, I have always preferred to not talk about it publicly, as I did not wish to burden my readers.

But now, with no apparent end to my situation in sight, I had a choice: either to continue posting irregularly whenever I had the chance, or to turn to my readers with a request for support in exchange for rewards, in the hope of creating a mutually beneficial relationship. I decided to attempt the latter.

Supper Mario Broth is now on Patreon.

Should you choose to click the link above, a video on the Patreon page will explain exactly what I do, why you should consider supporting my blog, and what you will get in return.

I realize that to ask anyone to contribute to something as frivolous as a blog for obscure Mario content is, in many ways, preposterous. You may think that I do not produce enough output to warrant a subscription. But please consider the following:

During a period of time where I was able to access the blog without issues in 2013, I contributed an average of 20 new discoveries every day. If you choose to become a subscriber, not only will you receive exclusive content, but I will be able to once again restore my output to those levels.

In the 6 years since the blog’s creation, I have posted over 7,000 findings: many sourced from other creators, many discovered and recorded myself. If I had uninterrupted Internet access, I could double that number in a year.

Of course, no matter the outcome of the campaign, I will continue to post whenever I can afford to. The Mario franchise is my life. It is all I have.
