i am in a war with insomnia and insomnia is winning. probably tuesday I'm gonna skip the adhd meds and just knock out for like 10 hours, but in the meantime

i knocked out 2 full-length commissions back to back, which is nice, and then got a message from someone on ko-fi going "weird question but would you take commissions for something from game of thrones?"

oh boy would I, stranger

you sweet dumb summer child, you have no idea

shit I gotta knock out today (probably after I convince my brain to shut down for at least a nap):

grocery shopping because I want to make quesadillas
-slam a few psl tags back to jo

Remind me to ask you how you go about commissions sometime. I like my gig 80% of the time but man, I need a different option available. Maybe writing on command would make me panic but maybe it’s a possibility 🤔 (also: go you knocking out the work at least if you can’t sleep! Idk if it helps but I know my insomnia gets bad with hormonal changes.)

Sure, happy to answer any questions any time, but I'll level with you - I'm not sure if the way I got into it will be easy to reproduce. But yeah, happy to chat about it whenever

It also does require a certain amount of being able to force yourself to sit down and write whether or not you feel the slightest bit of motivation or inspiration for the prompt, which is not always easy esp if you're trying to finish things with a decent turn-around time

paingravy: oh for sure, that’s why I haven’t gotten into copywriting so far? But so much of what I’m doing right now requires a lot of ‘think up stuff from scratch repeatedly’ anyway that i figure I might as well consider multiple options . I may end up not being capable of it! But it’s good to know how to, in case

Sure, disco me whenever and I'll tell you about it

(I’d REALLY like to be able to monetize my proofreading/fact-checking abilities but like. How do you...prove that, especially when anything you’ve done it for professionally is behind an NDA or copyrighted :/ )

Will do! I appreciate it ❤️ my brain is a bit broken rn but sometime soonish

Might be worth checking out Fiverr for editing and proofreading gigs

paingravy: that’s a good idea! I’ve thought about that before but always backed down like ‘but why would they hire me’ for ^^^^ reasons. But ...why not try

yepyep

i have a first world problem you guys so

a few years back my friend found out my favorite perfume is this knock-off chanel no 5 and so they bought me actual real chanel no 5 as a gift (it's an unnecessarily expensive perfume so this was super nice of them) but as it turns out i genuinely think the knock-off smells better lmao. the problem being

i am almost out of the knock-off

and I have no idea where to buy another bottle of it again

so i have a shitload of the real stuff left but no way to re-up the fake ass cheap shit and I am Moderately Upsetti Spaghetti

alright alright lemme get into dean tags brain

Dean Winchester | The Falling.

Send me pics of the bottle and I'll see if I can find it for you. <3

if you can find it i'll honestly be highkey impressed, because I have LOOKED

https://www.ebay.com/... i found this ebay listing... it's a little sketch but designer dupe perfumes are a little sketch in general

oooo shit, it looks kinda promising!

the bottle's shaped slightly different but the descriptive text on the front all matches even down to the volume font

so i found an image of your bottle with original box, and it's by a dupe brand called "chris designer", which does not appear to be easily found in the us

that ebay listing says it's chris designer, but i wish they had uploaded the back of the box

lord how in the hell did I get mine then, I genuinely don't remember, I've had it for years at this point

it might have been something I got from Vinted, or from one of those kinda vaguely shitty hidden treasure discount stores like Burke's

the pictures of the box i found say it's made in india, and i'm sure it's the kind of thing you get at like, a mall kiosk or a flea market stall

i'm impressed as hell that you even found a brand name though honestly

but all they make are designer dupes, and usually the bottle is very very similar to the real thing

if nothing else it's like a hundred bucks cheaper than real chanel no 5 and will probably smell decent even if it doesn't quite match so it may be worth springing for when I get down to the very last of the one I have

(i could just use the full ass bottle of the real shit I have, i don't know why i'm so particular about it having to be This One Smell)

YES THAT'S IT

that's just a picture of the box that comes up

holy shit bro you're a fucking wizard

lmao this kind of thing is literally one of my hobbies, there's a subreddit called findfashion that i help in sometimes

that's awesome dude lmao jesus i swear i really did spend time googling this on a few occasions and never found it

you're the best, I'm bookmarking that ebay link, fuck yeah

That's what I found, too. A link to the exporter, etc.

thanks for looking Karen!! apreesh you too

RADIANT COLLECTION

i just like... smelling like One Particular Thing 90% of the time and that thing is this stupidly specific knock-off perfume and i cannot explain why i have been hyperfixated on it for years but here we are

Idk if those are really related or not.

if i could also get the same exact smell in body wash, lotion, deodorant, etc, i would buy a whole line of it probably

I'm sure the difference is probably just relating to some minor adjustment to ingredients or maybe even body checmistry.

yeah I know body chemistry def plays a role and idk if there's a minor ingredient in this version that's different than the brand name version that just meshes with my skin better or what

oh don't worry i get it, my favorite perfume of all time was discontinued and i wept when it leaked in my bag

but it's a little bit... sweeter, almost, or more floral than the name brand which has a slightly more baby powdery smell

bitchcraft: grips ur hands. solidarity, friend, the pain is real
