Hello everyone!
From my previous journal (Commissions 'somewhat' on Hold), I'm happy to say that I'm doing much better now. The skin rash is still visible, but it's not that itchy anymore so I can actually work on commissions again.

However, it is the least of my concerns now. I'm the master of worst timing. It's been very rough for me in the last couple of days.
First, I get that skin rash. So extremely uncomfortable, I couldn't even work properly. And when I wanted to go to the doctor to get a medical check-up, I have been denied as I wasn't insured. Next day, I went to the insurance office to get myself insured again, but I have to pay 100€ every month from now on. Finally, I went to the doctor today to get myself treated. Turned out that I have atopic dermatitis. It seems that my condition is getting better though with all the medicine I'm taking. As I said, it's not that itchy anymore and the rash slowly disappears.

On the same day, I received this devastating letter from the social office. They want me to pay 937€ back. Now, some people who follow me on twitter already know that I had a dept of 1200€ last year because they accidentally gave me money during a course I was attending (I normally don't get any money from them during that period). Normally, they would cut 100€ from my welfare every month, but since I started Patreon on November, I don't get any welfare and I have to pay back what is still remaining, which is 937€. In just TWO WEEKS! But there's more: They sent the letter THREE days ago, but I just received it today, and transfering everything from paypal to my bank account takes an additional 1-2 days, which means I only have about ONE WEEK left!!

Yes... all the misery started when I opened my Patreon. I needed a tax identification number so I'll be able to receive money from my patrons. As soon as I got my number, I was officially self-employed/freelancer. This however caused the cancelation of my social welfare (and also my health insurance).
Now here is the (un)funny part: Just 1-2 days later after my self-employment, Patreon decided to change their TOS and made the tax identification number optional. OPTIONAL!!! FOR FUCKS SAKE!!
I can't live with just measly $80 every month. Especially when I have to pay 100€ from now on every month. If I had waited just a little longer... none of this bullshit would have happened (rash aside)! *sigh* As I said, I'm the master of worst timing...

Opening a Patreon page was a huge, miscalculated mistake! I have a dept of 937€ to pay in just one week or who knows what might happen! DX

So, commissions are open, but you will get 2x the amount of coins and an additional 100 as a thank you token for helping me out! People who already commissioned me, but haven't paid yet, will be able to get these bonus coins as well! I don't care if I have to give up sleep or if my skin rash gets worse or if my hand dies in the process... I FREAKIN NEED IT!
If you don't have any money, then please please spread the word! Write a journal, tweet it, anything!

It's all up to you~!
