For those who might be wondering, we did it.

We need to clean a room, do any beings have any tips? (We need tips that keep in mind that our issues are mainly from AuDHD and chronic pain rn).

- Shay 🐾

Yeah, we can

Sorry we are probably being kinda dumb rn, we aren't really understanding what you are saying.

Not sure because our motivation and energy could be too low to be able to do anything for some days, so we can't really say we can do it that way.

We'd like to try and do it today (let's say like 11:00/23:00, it's 6:20/18:20 rn) but technically it just needs to be done by Friday morning.

It's not too messy, mostly just some trash and making our desk a bit more clean and just that kind of shit. (It's the room we stay in, it's not technically our bedroom but we are in it more often than not and we sleep in it, lol).

We are gonna open commissions soon and just use GoFundMe as the way to be paid. Link to gofundme.

Since we aren't really good at drawing we'll start the prices as (prices are based on traditional art, digital may cost less);

Level 1 (no color and kinda messy): $6

Level with color (color and kinda messy): $8

Level 2 (no color and not as messy): $8

10

Level 2 with color (color and not as messy): $12

Level 3 (No color and not messy): $14

Level 3 with color (color and not messy): $16

Examples (examples are traditional, digital will likely look different):

Level 1 (imagine this with color for that one):

Level 2 (imagine with color for the colored one):

Level 3 (imagine with color for the colored one):

Rules:

We will draw animals, anthros, humans, human-like beings (robots/androids, vampires, etc.), and items (headphones, collars/chokers, pencils, etc).

We will NOT do NSFW or tons of gore. We will do light gore (scars, a little bit of blood, bruises, etc).

We will NOT do any commissions for free, our art even though it's not that good takes time, energy, and supplies.

NO racism, homophobia, transphobia,ableism, systemmeds/pluralmeds, transmeds, proship, radqueer stuff, etc.

LGBTQ+, plural (any origin), disabled, agere, and alterhumans and nonhumans are all allowed (hate phrasing it that way but whatever).

We will do parts of the body (headshots, head and torso/body, full body, etc.) We aren't very good with hands and feet (for humans/human-like beings that aren't anthros).

After you buy the art you can do almost anything with it. You can NOT feed it to AI or anything like that. You also do not need to give us credit, although we would appreciate credit.

If you are curious about anything to do with our commissions feel free to ask! You can ask in the comments, reblogs, asks, or dms.

Edited: Also if you commission something from us please let us know on here in dms.

- Shay 🐾

We aren't really good at drawing but we are thinking of starting to do commissions soon. Are there any good tips for both art and commissions?

Like what's the best way to get the money from commissions (PayPal, gofundme, etc)? [And other tips for commissions].

Also just art/drawing tips for both traditional and digital.

[We don't have a job, are working on getting disability income, and the body's dad only gets disability and retirement so we don't have very much money.]

Edit: Also, what would you like to see us try to do commissions of? (Examples: animals, anthro animals, humans/human-like beings, etc).

- Shay 🐾

Thanks!

We do have windows, we think it's not 11, but yeah it shouldn't be that different. And yes we use the official launcher.

Though we wanna quickly say that we use Minecraft Bedrock in case that makes a difference.

Also we will check if this works later!

- Shay 🐾

We just had an idea but we don't know how to go about it.

We would love to do commissions for Minecraft. But we don't know how we would give the commissions except for pictures and stuff but we would love to actually give the world(s) for the commissions but don't know how to do that. If any being knows how to do that, please let us know.

- Shay 🐾

Thanks for the reply!

We definitely think of it as better than the "functioning" label system (cause of what that system was originally for) but yeah every system has flaws.

So medium support needs seems to fit us.

As we don't have a job, and don't have a "caretaker". And we could go on but this is the main bits, lol. Basically, we have more support needs than a low support needs being and less support needs than a high support needs being.

- Shay 🐾

Can any being(s) explain exactly what each "level" of support needs mean? (High, medium, and low are the ones we have seen/heard)

Cause we literally aren't sure what we count under.

Like it almost seems like we are low-medium support needs or high-low support needs (like on the lower side of medium or higher side of low).

Does this make any sense?

- Shay 🐾

Yep, to all of this.

Also, just stop using disorders, disabilities, mental terms, etc. in contexts that aren't actually the disorder, disability, etc. Like, please, for the love of everything, stop saying "I'm so OCD" when you don't have OCD and are just being neat. And stuff that is similar.

periodic reminder that it costs zero dollars and zero cents to not use the words psychotic, psycho, schizophrenic, schizo, insane, or delusional to mean derogatory things

no, that alt right person is not “psychotic” for being racist and having racist beliefs. you can be racist without having psychosis. it’s not mental illness causing these beliefs, it’s just hatred and bigotry.

no, that person advocating to repeal the medical rights of trans people is not “delusional/deluded”. you can be transphobic without experiencing delusions. it’s not a mental illness that causes these beliefs, it’s just hatred and bigotry.

no, that person supporting israel is not “insane” for justifying and supporting genocide. you can support genocide without having a severe mental illness. it’s not mental illness that causes these beliefs, it’s cruelty and hatred.

just find a different word. it is not that difficult. what IS difficult is living with psychosis, especially when it is stigmatized day in and day out. when we equate medical conditions with moral standing or worth, that’s eugenics.

i wish nothing but peace and love on everyone including those who have used these terms in the past, present and future, but i am tired.

there are so many good posts making good points that fall short because they use terms relating to psychosis to indicate moral failing.

psychosis. is. not. morally. corrupt.

STOP equating psychosis with bigotry, hatred, and cruelty.

note. people without psychotic symptoms are encouraged to reblog this. i am not going to do more than my share of the work to educate non-psychotics when i’m struggling with my own symptoms. thank you.

We would also like to add in trans men probably do too, especially if they aren't "passing." (As you talked about "men, " which trans men are still men.) Also, those under the nonbinary umbrella.

Also, AuDHD [enby] plural here, it's really fucking hard to control facial expressions. And we would like to point out that maybe Autistic, ADHD, etc. men probably also experience getting told off about facial expressions. However, we do not know as the body is AFAB (we are actually using this how it is meant to be used, as we may or may not technically be intersex, we need/want to figure that out, lol).

We aren't trying to "take this post away from women" or anything. We just feel the need to add that it's pretty much any being that isn't very "accepted" (for lack of a better word) is likely to be treated like this.

- Shay 🐾

do men have resting bitch faces as well or do they not have negative characteristics ascribed to them for putting on a neutral rather than a deliriously happy facial expression

Ask game!

Please include the question(s) fully in the ask.

We aren't sure if the body has PCOS currently, but it is possible as the body's mom had it. We know that she would have never even wanted anything to do with the intersex community [cause she was very Christian and transphobic, so to really say that there are more than 2 sexs would probably also be a no, lol].

We want to actually get tested but don't know how to go about it. If any being has any suggestions & tips, we would love to hear them.

[Also, please don't talk too bad about the body's mom as she is dead. She wasn't really good, but still, we loved and still do love her].

- Shay 🐾

reminder that PCOS is an intersex variation and bullying, harassing and misgendering people who have PCOS isn't helping the intersex community, or anyone else, for that matter. there's no reason to be rude or say it doesn't "count". thats not for you to dictate. you're not helping other intersex people by saying people with PCOS aren't intersex, all you're doing is hurting intersex people when you do so.

Mood.

And for everyone wondering, our blog will be clear from April Fools jokes for the most part, and any of those jokes will be tagged so that they are clearly jokes.

Reblogging means you want asks about this post in your inbox! (Unless you already answered in the reblog lolz) 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Us when our disabilities disable us.

Like they are called disabilities for a reason.

- Shay 🐾

"you cant use your disabilities an excuse"

there are many reasons why a disability will disable someone. before you call it an excuse, maybe try considering why their disability, visible or invisible, effects their abilities.

Uh, we are not sure if frogs are good pets (we mean, like how a wild animal isn't a good pet, basically not sure if they should be kept as pets).

We have not had frog legs before. And we are not sure if we would ever want to have them.

- Shay 🐾

Hey, what are your opinions on frogs? We need strong opinions, it’s for a school project (lie). -Consensus

Frogs are cool!!!

We love all animals!!!

We don't know much about frogs, though.

Sorry, this probably isn't really what you want. But this is what we can give.

rb to have a super gay 2023

Once again, we haven't posted in a while, lol.

Honestly, just posting this so that people know that we are still alive, lol.

- Shay 🐾

We haven't posted in a while, lol.

Pretty sure there's also some posts in our drafts that may or may not get posted at any point.

This is just the whole post, lol.

- Shay 🐾

This is actually very important!

Also, for our account/blog, we are fine with minors interacting with most of our posts [only posts we wouldn't want them interacting with are more nsfw posts, which is just kinda common sense and shit] but we aren't wanting to talk to minors in dms, this is just a specific thing that we have that we are allow to say.

If you are a minor interacting with our posts, that's 100% fine, and if you want to chat in replies or asks or reblogs, that's also 100% fine with us. Just no dms with minors. That's one of our only "rules" for our account/blog when it comes to minors interacting and shit.

- Shay 🐾

Saw a tiktok of a guy saying he doesn’t feel comfortable talking to minors because he’s 19. And it’s just. I’m so fucking tired of this.

And like to be clear, I’m speaking as a victim of pedophilia when I say: We need to get over this collective fear of endangering children. Because holy shit, this stuff is getting out of hand.

The average person is not a threat to a child.

And also!!! It is actually really really good for kids to have friendships with adults that aren’t their family.

Having friendships with adults when you’re younger prepares you for adult life in a better way then only interacting with adults that are family members or teacher as well.

And also if there’s any sort of weird behavior happening with adults or teachers, it’s very helpful to have unrelated adults, you can go to, and also have a model for what normal adults are supposed to look like.

And also! You’re just making it way easier for pedophiles to prey on children when you completely avoid interacting with them as an adult. Because kids are naturally inquisitive and curious. They are going to want to interact with adults and they are going to want to ask questions. And if the only adult adults that are willing to interact and speak with them or adults who have ulterior motivations. Guess what’s gonna happen.

Also on a more general note. Having a model for what a normal healthy adult is supposed to look like makes it way easier for kids to be able to recognize and identify when adults in their personal life are being weird.

Yep!

- Shay 🐾

Hello please reblog this if you’re okay with people sending you random asks to get to know you better

- Shay (They/it)

Mood.

We already had them filtered, so we could avoid the posts if needed and we are still having some issues.

Hope this reblog is ok since it's not actually talking about it?

Stay safe as well. <3 (heart is platonic)

i've done my best to reblog helpful things, to use this blog to help with the fear and pain and grief. It has helped, a bit. but from now on i'm blocking election and politics tags. please don't bring it up with me, or tag me in it, or whatever. i need this to be an escape for me. stay safe, all of you, especially if you're a minority. i love you.

Tw/cw: suicide, all caps in parts of our post

Ok, this is a great post, love it, thank you.

BUT PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING; TAG OR ADD THE TRIGGER WARNING FOR SUICIDE!! SOME BEINGS NEED TO BE ABLE TO FILTER POSTS WITH THAT OUT SO PLEASE ACTUALLY FUCKING TAG IT!!

As I said, it's a great post, and we love it, but still, tags of this kind are very important, so please tag any trigger warnings, especially suicide.

- Shay (They/it)

queer people of all kinds. i am looking you in the eyes. do not fucking kill yourself. are you listening to me it will be okay. it will get better. i am shaking you by the shoulders do. not. fucking. do. it. you have so much to keep going for and so many people who love you. the cost of the present will not outweigh the life ahead of you. i love you. chin up or down keep walking you'll get there. we will pull you back up onto your feet should you fall. i love you

Absolutely, it's a good feeling to know that you have everything you need close by!!

- Shay (They/it)

My family always gets annoyed I keep a bad with me (either in the car or on my person) but I need it

It has my money, my id/my learners permit, noise cancelling headphones, blue tooth headphones and ear buds, period pads, small snacks in case I didn't eat and/or I feel fainty, A book for in case I need something to focus on/fill time, a couple bracelets and a plushie to fidget with and help if I have a melt down, as well as my tablet for my music for car rides and to distract from the other over stimulating noises and my house keys, and a small notebook and a pen/pencil in case I need to write something down so I remember it or doodle

All in just a medium sized backpack

I don't always bring it in with me depending on the circumstances, but I like knowing everything I need I have at least somewhat close

All of this is a mood, including the tags, lol.

Our "many" disabilities disable us? Who would have guessed? Lol (this is mostly a dig at ourselves).

- Shay (They/it)

I often have to stop myself whenever I catch myself going “it’s just that easy” or “why can’t I be like this all the time?” after doing the most mundane shit without second thought.

It’s not that easy, I’m just having a really good day so far.

I can’t be like that all the time, I have a disability.

And that’s ok.

Not tagged, but we wanted to do this.

There are quite a few songs stuck in our head rn, lol.

This is the main one, though, lol. Watched some of the Agatha All Along episodes a few days ago, and this song has been stuck in our head since.

- Lakey (They/it + blu/blue/blues/blues/blueself) | I think this is the first post with Lakey, lol.

[Wanna mention that I (Shay/Zuki) am almost always 'fronting' and shit, so I'm still here as well as Lakey.] | {"typical" pronouns for me (Shay/Zuki) which are they/it}

ATTENTION

If you see this you are OBLIGATED to reblog w/ the song currently stuck in your head :)

Was born in 2005, I'm 19 now, lol. So I was 2 years old in 2007.

it used to be 2007 you know

When I actually get my shit together and work on getting a service dog in this life, I am probably gonna try and get a german shepherd and name them Remo or something similar cause yeah.

When I get my shit together, I will probably be asking for donations, but I want to know more before asking for money. I am unsure of what program I am going to use exactly, I have an idea, but idk yet.

I should probably try and get diagnosed anxiety [cause I haven't been diagnosed, but it's definitely obvious] and maybe look into OCD and PTSD more? I know I have trauma and shit, I just don't know if it's PTSD levels or whatever. And the OCD I am unsure if it's just the AuDHD combo or OCD as well.

If anyone has any advice about any of this that relates to America, please feel free to give the advice.

- Zuki Shay Lupo (They/it)

I'm bored and can't sleep [it's a little after 4 am where I am lol], so here's a thing about me that I'm kinda surprised I haven't talked about yet, lol.

When I was Zuki, I had a service dog [in this life, I also need an SD, I'm gonna probably post a separate thing about that at some point], he was a german shepherd named Remo (meaning strong one or something like that lol). I miss him as much as I miss anyone else from my canon, maybe a bit more than certain people, but I feel like that should be understandable, he helped me actually live life, yeah I still had problems but they would've been way worse without Remo. He helped me actually be able to do more than I would've without him, as service dogs do lol, but still.

I'm really bad with words and shit and it's late/early, so that's likely not helping. But just yeah, thought I'd share this, not sure if anyone even really cares, but whatever, lol.
