w e l p.

Thanks to the company that owns my day job getting sold, I no longer have one. In situations like this, I have seen many of my Tumblr comrades offer art commissions.

I am not an artist — at least not in the drawing/painting/digital sense of the word. At least not one skilled enough that I’d feel okay charging money for it.

I am a musician and songwriter.

^wat up.

So I’m going to try something that I’ve seen less people attempt but sounds like a ball and a half: SONG COMMISSIONS!

DA RULEZ:

• $20 per minute
• So a 2-minute song would be $40 and a 4-minute song would be $80
• So basically tell me the maximum amount you’re willing to pay and I will write a song of that length or shorter
• If you give me a 2-minute limit and a song ends up being 2:15 or like 2:02 don’t worry about those extra seconds we cool
• You choose the topic!
• You could have a theme song for your fanfic
• Think about it
• NO DOCTOR WHO
• Not because I don’t like Doctor Who but I have a band and all my Doctor Who songwriting skillz must go to them
• When your song is finished and payment has gone through you will receive a recording of me singing YOUR SONG accompanied by acoustic guitar
• You are free to do anything with this recording except sell it yourself
• So yeah send it to all your friends, post it on your website or blog, idgaf as long as you don’t charge for it
• I reserve all rights to record it professionally, put it on an album and sell it myself if it turns out to be superawesome

If you need evidence of my skills I have already released a solo album (/surreptitiously drops link to another place where you can give me money).

If you want to know which fandoms I’m most familiar with you can check my blog (although I am 100% willing to write non-fandom songs as well).

If you have any questions or would like to commission a song, drop a note in my ask!

"

But ask yourself: Why is there that knee-jerk rejection of any effort to “overthink” pop culture? Why would you ever be afraid that looking too hard at something will ruin it? If the government built a huge, mysterious device in the middle of your town and immediately surrounded it with a fence that said, “NOTHING TO SEE HERE!” I’m pretty damned sure you wouldn’t rest until you knew what the hell that was — the fact that they don’t want you to know means it can’t be good.

Well, when any idea in your brain defends itself with “Just relax! Don’t look too close!” you should immediately be just as suspicious. It usually means something ugly is hiding there.

Different Sherlock portrayals as cats. Because I can.

House is the uncontrollable crazy cat.

Robert Downey Jr. cat is the flaunting type.

BBC Sherlock is the brooding cat.

Elementary Sherlock is the cuddly one.

Canon Sherlock is an awesome YouTube keyboard cat that Watson is always impressed by.
