every year around christmas me and my grandma play this fun family game called āmaybe you want to put jesus in your room instead, sweetie? :)ā. now, itās important to note that the jesus referred to in our game is not actually the real jesus christ, but instead a wooden figure i made in 2011 that has an uncanny resemblance to the lord and savior himself
so what happens is that i place jesus in our living room, and my grandma smiles and asks me if i donāt want to decorate my room with him instead. i ask her in return if she thinks my jesus figure is ugly (which he is), but she reassures me that this is not the case. however, a couple of days later jesus mysteriously disappears from our living room, and appear in my room instead
now, the real jesus christ might have been able to perform a miracle like this, but please remember that the jesus in our story is only a figure made out of wood. he can not move on his own, so i think we can safely say that my grandma is the prime suspect here
the first year i would often confront my grandma about this, but she would always make up an excuse and never straight up tell me she moved him because heās so ugly itās an embarrassment to the family
eventually i grew tired of her lies, so now we only move jesus around in silence. one second heās in the living room, the next heās back in my room. in a way i think this adds an extra element of excitement to the holiday season, because you never know for sure when jesus is going to be moved again
Hello, I was hoping to get in touch with anyone who knows @burdwow /Tori personally.
I had ordered a 2 character commission, waist up, on Jan. 2nd of this year and I still have been unable to receive any updates since the initial sketch and a post-work of color that was shown on her tumblr later that month.
I was able to last speak with her in May and since then itās been silent. Iāve not been able to get a response through emails, both I have of hers, as well as tumblr fan mail. I see all three tumblrs are active and sheās been taking commissions so I was hoping to either get my money back (because ten months is far too long,) or have my commission completed.
Please ask her to get in contact with me. Thank you!
I also commissioned Burdwow in January, when I first received a sketch, and since then Iāve never once been able to get I contact with her. Iāve sent both emails and asks on her blog simply asking for some sort of update, and then two months ago I requested a refund, which I never got a reply to. The length of time the commission has taken would NOT have bothered me if it werenāt for the fact Iāve been out right ignored for this long. At this point I just want a refund.
So if anyone can help us get in contact with her it would be greatly appreciated!
I basically had this exact same problem. I paid them in january, went a month without a sketch, finally got an email back in february saying they wereĀ āin the middle of my sketchā and then didnāt hear anything for two weeks.Ā
Not particularly impressed, I initiated a paypal dispute, and finally heard back from them a good 4 days later. It was pretty obvious they didnāt spend three months on the sketch, but by then I was tired of trying to get blood from a stone, so I told them it was okay. However the never actually responded to paypal (or to me after that) so I escalated the dispute to a claim, which they also didnāt respond to, and got my money back.Ā
Honestly my suggestion to the two of you (and everyone else) is to do the same thing and initiate a refund because obviously emailing doesnāt work.
If anyone is still able to do this in paypal, please try what @tevruden has suggested. Iāve gotten a message in my mailbox that suggests this is common practice for @dust-bite / @burdwow for the last year or two three to four years and while I would like to go on good faith, I can not.
Heās basically the typicalĀ āself-absorbed, overconfidentā trope BUT with one big difference.
Instead ofĀ āIāM SUPER COOL AND YOU SUCK!ā heās likeĀ āIāM SUPER COOL AND YOUāRE SUPER COOL TOO, PLEASE BE MY FRIEND!ā
Heās never selfish or mean, everything he does has his friends and family in mind. Heās not self-loathing or hateful, he can see the goodness in himself and others without being a dick about it.
that is super special to me because his character inspires me as a self-loathing judgmental person who is working hard to change
