yesterday i went to buy something and the store owner looked up and said something to me in chinese and i was so surprised i just said “what” in english and then we stared at each for a full ten seconds like what the fuck we are in spain
So I had a chat with my cousin the other day about my car. It’s getting up there in mileage, and I could use a new(er) one soon. We both agreed on that.
Where we may disagree though is when I can get that new car. He says now. But I’m at least a year away where I can be in a position to do that. And that’s not what this is for.
The car was looked at last week and found a few problems in it. It needs a new muffler, it needs the sway bar fixed, and it needs new springs. I can tackle one of them on my own, but I’m going to need help on the rest. And since I’m driving a lot for work and to conventions again this year (with potential plans to pick people up), I need to have that car survive another year. Getting those three things done will do it.
So I’m opening up commissions of the Postcard Prints (and maybe character reference sheets as well if you ask) and selling leftover prints to fund those car repairs. The goal of this drive is to hit $500 to fund at least two of the three fixes the car needs.
As far as prints, here’s what I have left currently and a gallery of them. Minis will have $3 more and large prints $5 more for shipping:

Fluttershy - 4
Pinkie - 4
Applejack - 2

First, progress!
About $25 raised so far. Also, I’m going to show you what I’m trying to get as to try and help and see if it gets more bites:
Car parts! I can buy these parts, and then have a friend install them.
BUT I NEED TO RAISE FUNDS TO GET THEM AND THAT’S WHAT THIS IS FOR!
Contact me if you want a commission or to buy prints.
Last call for these. I’ve pretty much resigned myself to paying for these repairs out of my pocket, so I’m just looking for some relief at this point to lessen the blow.
siebewastaken: Well, I mean, they are cute. But winning against them makes them sad but losing is not an option so fighting against the tubers or the twins is a bad idea ok.
BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT A SIGNIFICANT PART OF TUMBLR USERS ARE NOT NATIVE SPEAKERS
Here’s the deal: my first language is Italian. I know plenty of people on this website whose first language is Italian. Nevertheless, when we’re interacting with each other on Tumblr, we speak English.
I am not objecting to this system, it’s actually good practice for some people, to be able to speak a second language extensively.
BUT I HAVE A PROPOSITION FOR YOU.
Why not have a “Speak Your Own Language Day” where all of us exclusively speak in our native language?
(No but apart from the small rebellion from the US-centric and generally Anglophone-centric environment we got here, think about trying to speak to people from other countries via excessive use of Google Translate it’ll be a blast)
Ok, since this post has finally reached 100 notes I think it’s a good time to give a date, and since no one else has advanced suggestions I’m gonna do it
I’m proposing Wednesday 7th May, so the post has a chance to do a couple more laps and more people get a chance to participate (French Friday sounded hilarious, but I don’t wanna wait until next friday and this friday seems a bit too soon).
How it’ll work:
If you’re native language is something other than English, speak that!
If you have multiple languages you can pick from the choice is yous friend, speak all, speak one, whatever’s best for you
You’ll blog in your language all day: text posts, replies, tags (except triggers and organizational tags), the whole nine yards. Regardless of what language people choose to speak to you, you answer in your own.
Midnight to midnight according to your own time zone
English native speakers, if you wanna participate maybe you could practice a second language you’re learning
If anyone makes fun of anyone else for their language (and I’m including English native speakers that might choose to speak a second language on the day) I’m gonna come for you (◕‿◕✿)
