Hello! I’m Arius (aka SOLARPUNK) ; a queer, trans, plural and disabled artist looking to share my art with the internet, build a portfolio over social media and start taking commissions to earn a bit of cash. I may not have a lot but feel free to look around (my blog) and see if there’s anything you like! c:

And if you do, would you consider commissioning me?

Any money I get from commissions would help immensely with paying for household expenses such as rent, bills, food, pet food and medication for both me and my partner. And help me save up for upcoming expenses (drug plan & HRT).

Portrait Sketches are only $20.00 (CAD) / $15.09 (USD)!

-> Payments via P*ypal Invoices

I’m not good at these sort of posts, but COMMISSIONS OPEN!!

I’m a queer, trans, plural and disabled freelance artist who over the last couple of weeks have been working on building up their portfolio in order to start doing art more seriously, and actually take some commissions.

After losing eligibility for social assistance this has, unfortunately, become my only source of income; with all money going towards paying for my cost of living and keeping financial strain off of my nesting partner.

Feel free to check out my art by visiting my blog or going to our DeviantArt page under the same username! And if you end up liking what you see, consider commissioning me as well! DM if Interested!

HERE’S MY CURRENT PRICES:

Bust… $10.00 (CAD)
Waist… $30.00 (CAD)
Full… $40.00 (CAD)

All Commissions Are for Personal Use Only!
No NSFW. No N/F/Ts. No Armor. No Mech. No Guns.
I prefer to draw feminine characters, but will do masculine.
Additional Fees May Apply for Wings and Complex Jewelry.
Message w/ references for character, pose & expression.
Payment Over PayPal or Ko-Fi Only!

I did not have “tumblr book club forms and reads a classic horror novel delivered via email; immediately begins to roast and fall in love with protagonist” on my 2022 bingo card, but I have to say I am enjoying myself immensely

For those that asked:

Zuppa Toscana

Ingredients

6 russet potatoes, sliced into half circles

1lb sausage (hot italian sausage recommended)

32 oz chicken broth

1 yellow onion, cut however you want

Garlic - think "what's a lot of garlic?" double that amount, minced

1 bunch kale - stem removed, tear it up (can be larger than "bite sized pieces", as they will wilt)

1 cup heavy whipping cream

Seasoning - I do not measure these and I never will. Season to taste.
(Paprika, Salt, Pepper, Oregano, Bay Leaves, Cayenne, Cumin)

Instructions

In a large soup pot, brown the sausage and break apart/crumble as it cooks. Throw the onion and spices in there, mix that all up and cook till the sausage is cooked thoroughly. Add minced garlic, cook for 1-2 min.

Add chicken stock and potatoes. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. I let it simmer for about 15 min, longer (maybe 25-30?) if you want the potatoes to break down more and create a chowdery texture.

Add the kale. Stir it in until wilted and doesn't seem like too much kale anymore. Maybe 2-3 min.

Turn off the stove. Add heavy cream a little at a time while stirring it in.

Serve and top it off as you see fit. I like shredded parmesan and red pepper flakes

caitlyn is such a great character because she is such an unrelenting, unyielding force of kindness

and i do use that word specifically because you look at caitlyn and think “oh, she’s just really good, lawful good or neutral good” and that is very true, caitlyn very much believes in doing the right thing and doing right by people but so does vi. so does vander.

caitlyn is distinct from the two of them because her approach is to solve the problems piltover has caused with kindness.

we see her demonstrate this again and again what with her trading over her gun for vi’s medicine, hugging huck when she hears his story, looking after vi when vi goes and gets herself injured – and then her speech to ekko really cements it. this city needs healing, is what she says. not fixing, not changing, but healing, which is such a profoundly objective and kind way to look at the situation.

caitlyn could have done a lot of things in zaun that would be less than kind that still would have benefited her goals and her cause, but she continually chooses not to aggress (for the most part) and instead to listen and learn, because she is demonstrably wrong about a lot of things in zaun.

vi leaving her behind in a brothel is forgiven, ekko’s kidnapping of them is forgiven, and even her interactions with jinx bely this – she trusts in vi’s judgement when her instincts are telling her otherwise, and her only protest is “she’s too far gone” – not “she’s dangerous” or “she needs to pay” or anything like that. even after everything jinx has done, justifiable or not, caitlyn still implicitly understands that jinx is one of the people piltover has let down. she’s not chasing her down for justice. she’s trying to minimise harm.

in vi’s position, being someone who’s whole thing is about being a protector – why wouldn’t you fall for all of that?

it breaks my heart a little to hear caitlyn pleading in the season 2 teaser with vi to accompany her to track down jinx. it makes it sound a little like vi has given up on her – but caitlyn hasn’t.

arcane arcane analysis caitlyn vi caitvi piltover's finest and to be clear caitlyn has the privilege to treat these problems with kindness because she holds power over the citizens of zaun but it is nonetheless the correct approach to take her moral core is so rock solid and it's so easy for me to look at vi and look at her looking at caitlyn and just fall for her because caitlyn *gets it* she is the character in the show most willing to accept her own faults and immediately try and move past them to better herself and to be a better force for good in the world and i think vi would really admire that because it's something vi wants for herself too
