every now and then I still get people who pull the 'hey um can you get me free art from your partner' gambit like I'm somehow the EASY path to that
buddy, if someone OFFERS requests, that is one thing. but you want labor on-demand? then you pay for the damn labor.
I need to reiterate this because it is a matter of grave importance: this is our livelihood. it is how we survive. we pay bills, and rent, and taxes on the back of this work. it is not a hobby, it is a full-time profession.
so, for the record, no, we do not have time to honor every request that stumbles across our door. the service we provide is a luxury. you are not going to die from not having enough balloon animal smut.
