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.

So, back around 2022-2023, I had to explain to a BUNCH of friends what exactly is/was the Undertale/UTMV fandom. It was hard to explain AUs of AUs… of multiverses… to people which weren’t there to personally experience the transition?
A lot of these stories and ideas just stems from people getting inspired off of other people, and kind of building up from there. However, if you weren’t really there for the natural progression of that… the fandom will kind of seem like… a lot (even though it kind of is ^^ the rabbit hole runs deep…).
So, I tried my hand at semi-making a “comprehensive” guide to how I see the layers of the fandom ^^” (in a silly, not-so-serious way).
The deeper you go into this fandom, the harder it sometimes gets to even leave 💀
Anyways, tag yourself, I’m stuck in Hell 7 🕺
(note: please don’t take this entirely too seriously! I just used this as a way to make the entirety of the fandom slightly more digestible, instead of me yapping for hours in a pseudo lecture about the history of the fandom).
Small Vent about Art Progression
Man. It’s really strange seeing Highschool and even Middle School artists be so GOOD at art.
I’ve spent YEARS, basically all my life, drawing. Not everyday and not every year, mind you, but enough to where I don’t understand how well some people can draw so well at such an early age.
I’m not angry or upset about it. I actually really admire young artists and hope they excel!!!
I’m more puzzled than anything… Like- how the hell did they do it. Ya know? I drew almost everyday in highschool. I drew backgrounds and characters, and pushed my limits (I thought), but my drawing skills were and still are very slow to implement.
And the thing is I KNOW i work slower than most. It’s been like this all my life, even with tests and homework. But dang does the feeling still feel awkward.
It’s not like I’m obsessed with comparing my art. I don’t do that. I’m very glad I don’t.
It’s a subconscious stress, from noticing others have an easier time drawing than I do. Even if we enjoy it the same.
Eh. Anyways feel free to add you own stresses about art to vent. I’m doing fine mentally!!! Just confused tbh.

I was working on a request, but then Peer took me by the throat and said, “I have a fantastic idea,” and so this was made. I will come back to this in 10 days, on Day 50 we will see the results of your labor.
And the first sticker represents the obligatory reblog by my main UTMV blog. And it’s a fish cause well, my blog is @/sinner-shark, and also because April Fish :) just-look up the origins of April Fools, it’s funny and fishy.
