Hi, you may or may not know me. I go by Tyramir, and I’m an author. Mostly I write fanfic, but I have also published a book at some point. (Yes, that was a subtle plug – don’t feel obligated to click the links, they’re there to justify to myself why I’m doing this so I can say this wasn’t 100% altruistic because I’m a crusty old troll)
So, recently, Tumblr has made something of an announcement regarding what kind of content they will and will not host in the future. And you know what, that’s okay. It’s their site. They can do what they want. Just like I’m free to say, “Hey, @staff, go fuck yourselves with some sandpaper, you masochistic fucks.”
Ah, that felt good. You know what else feels good? Moving to Pillowfort. I’m in no way associated with them, beyond that I am now a user. I just bought a key. More than one, actually. I bought a whackload of them. I am not rich. See: author. Very poor profession if you’re not ultra-successful. However, what I am is angry, and disappointed with the direction this site is taking.
This site is home for the marginalised, for the outcasts, for the misfits. It’s also the home for a lot of fellow artists, like myself. Ones that might not have a little extra cash in their wallets. So, as a Christmas gift (and as a way of sharing that link up above advertising my book, see self, you’re not totally altruistic), I’m making this offer.
Reblog and like this post. You don’t have to follow me. You don’t have to buy my book. You don’t have to tell anyone it exists. You don’t even have to click that link. Just like and reblog. Anyone who likes it will get one entry for drawing for a key. Anyone who reblogs it will get one. Anyone who does both will get two. And on December 17th, the Day of Ignominy, I will draw ten names, and I will gift ten keys. I’ll even wear a Willy Wonka hat while I do. You won’t be able to see it, but the spirit will be there.
If you want to get the word out, but don’t want to get an entry (say you already have a Pillowfort account), just reblog and tag the post with “no entry,” or some variation thereof. I’ll exclude you from the draw, but thank you (in my mind, I’m not gonna actually thank people, but that requires effort, yo) for helping others learn about this opportunity.
TL;DR: Bald author wants to use very little cash he has to give people Pillowfort accounts. Just like and reblog for entries.Also, I hope you are feasted upon by a swarm of angry weasels, @staff.
Steve and Tony fall for each other when Steve pulls Tony out of the bushes. But their fairy cities are on the verge of war. Steve could lose his life if his king finds out that he is in love with Tony. Tony could lose everything if his fellow fairies find out about Steve. But they need each other like they need air.
And there is a worse danger coming than war between their cities that could destroy everything.
Here’s my art for @captainneverever’s incredibly lovely and amazing Cap-IM Big Bang story! I was so, so excited to draw this for such a wonderful story. (FORBIDDEN ROMANCE, Y’ALL!!!!) Check out the fic, get those good good warm fluttery feels, and give it all the love it deserves ♥♥ (Did I mention: FORBIDDEN! ROMANCE!!!!!)

as yall might’ve noticed, I’ve been a bit away from the tumblr scene and there is reason for that: about three weeks ago, I was terminated from a job I’d had for a year and a half. it was sudden and definitely blindsided me so I have been frantically hitting the job boards in hopes of finding a new job that will sustain me. I haven’t been – as successful as I’d hoped.
so, with seven days until rent comes due, I’m in a bit of a pickle. a big pickle. I won’t be able to make enough for rent and utilities to last me another month. I’ve talked with my landlady and she’s agreed to push back my rent date (she was surprisingly understanding but that’s about the only silver lining) and I am finally bowing to pressure simply because of this: if I can’t keep my place, I’m likely going to have to give up my cats.
and I wont do that. I can’t do that. Midna and Kai are my darlings, my babies, and I cannot imagine giving them up. it would tear me apart.
so here we are. I have created a gofundme page to keep me afloat for at least one more month. that should be enough time to finally get a follow up on some of the jobs that have progressed to phone interviews but it’s all I have left.
if you can help me, please, please do. if you can’t, I totally understand. if you could rebagel this and get the word out, I would be forever grateful. I’m so sorry to do this.
