Best way to buy/sell?
Most preferred method when purchasing designs?
Just putting out some feelers to see what's good when it come to selling adopt designs. Would really love to make a batch or two in the future once I'm properly caught up with things. c: Anyway just curious to know what folks buying preferences generally are. I never know what the best way is to set these kinds of things up lol

Doing a little bit of toy-housekeeping over the weekend to try to recover from a few bills n things.
If anyone is interested, I have some oc's for sale both here; https://toyhou.se/kubo/characters/folder:27187
and a few new kids up on my sale account over here; https://toyhou.se/yeenparty/characters/folder:590974
primarily looking for money & will def prioritize that atm but i'm never not open to considering trades for those who'd like to offer <3
snagged from LinkaBell
◀ Characters/Art ▶
▶ Can I link ocs?
this ones a bit weird for me bc I honestly can't think of any reason anyone would want to? but I mean if we're good friends or fandom buddies then sure I guess. at the very least I'll always consider.
▶ Can I take art inspiration?
i don't feel I really have a distinct style so if there's something about my own heavily inspired art you happen to find actually inspiring then sure - go bananas I guess. I aint in any place to judge haha.
▶ Can I take design inspiration?
ehnn.. I suppose I have some mixed feelings on this one. by all means please be inspired. just please also know that putting in the time to make a design or oc that's truly personal & reflective of you is really part of the whole joy of being creative. (& just a solid win-win for everyone). your really only missing out on your own good time & fun by taking shortcuts & selling yourself short on that process.
▶ Can I ask about co-owns?
eh definitely a hard pass on this one. I'm glad for those who are able to make this sort've thing work bc it's a genuinely nice concept on paper but ehhnn.. I've also seen the flipside of this coin at it's worst & want no part in it
▶ Can I ask for trades/offers?
sure, but only for adopts on my sale account please.
as for art trades I really only tend to do those with friends/mutuals atm but I mean if we know each other or share a mutual love of the same fandom then yehyeh feel more than free to hit me up. I can't promise anything but I'll always consider & don't mind being asked.
▶ Can I ask for pings?
sure, I've done pings for a while now & don't mind.
▶ Can I put your character in my dreamie folder?
I feel a little weird saying please do bc there's so many varied feelings out there on this but sure - please do! that absolutely does not offend/threaten me in any way & is always very interesting/flattering for me to see.
◀ Personal ▶
▶ Can I dm you?
sure, feel free. I'm not sure how crazy chatty I'll be, especially if I'm unfamiliar with you but I mean I def don't bite & never mind hearing from folks.
▶ Can I ping you?
if it's for a character i've favorited then sure - feel free. I'll appreciate you thinking of me & letting me know their sale status. not so hot on this for random adopts though. while I'll still appreciate the thought, I just don't want the hassle of unsolicited spam rolling in.
▶ Can I voice chat with you?
ahh no! my voice is weird and hearing it would probably unlock some demon key of time. save some tears & spare your ears. your auditory cortex will thank you.
▶ Can I be your friend?
little mixed on this one. I mean.. if you find me cool then by all means please do hit me up to talk sometime. I'd be flattered & am always genuinely happy when ppl want to reach out & connect! just also pls know that if you're looking to really get to know me it's probably going to be a slow boring process. not to get too sad victorian child here but being hurt by loved ones in especially vulnerable moments through the majority of life has made trust difficult for me even in the best of circumstances so if it seems like i'm a tough person to get especially close to it's bc I unfortunately am. that said; I promise it's never my intention to come off as uppity, disinterested, inconsiderate or insincere to anyone. I'm always incredibly flattered & grateful when folks take their valuable time to reach out to me or tell me their thoughts. the internal struggle can just be real & like most curled up dead things I benefit best with a little time, water & soil pellets flung my way before i build up to the weird flowering thing that you'll never be able to rid your yard of. obviously any chill-chatter about stuff like art, oc's, & fandoms etc I'm totally cool with though & more than happy to engage in <3

Man new gallery sites just be a-poppin. what year even is it anymore? haha.
that said I decided to join both sheezy & buzzly. so far i'm liking sheezy. not too sure about buzzly though. i'll be honest the whole new world of NFT's & art mining makes me a little cautious about new gallery sites in general so i'm not sure how much I'll be uploading to either place right away. I guess only time will tell. Anyway, if you have an account though do feel free to follow me if you're interested. I'd love to find more peeps.
So weird bulletin here but was just curious if anyone out here would be interested in a freebie page layout or two for some of their characters?
Strange offer, I know, but I genuinely love doing these for my own characters & consider them a nice de-stressor for myself. I suppose if anything I'd just love the challenge of doing these for some characters that aren't mine haha. Anyway, if anyone is interested in me putting together something simple just hit me up with a link to your characters (& a little info on them or what you want to see) and I'll do my best to put a pretty/fitting code together for them. Also, no harm no foul if it's not something that gels & ends up getting wiped. Doing these helps me relax so I'm not going to be big offended if anyone winds up feeling like the end result just isn't for them haha. Anyway, for those interested feel free to comment below. profiles will look like the examples below (since this is the only format I'm confident with atm lol)
