Hey there everyone. So I'm not totally sure if this is appropriate to post, but the old member Eyestrain is currently taking emergency commissions. They don't use the community anymore, but I know that many people here knew them, and they were always a good and friendly person. They run a tumblr, and you can find their commission post detailing this
here.
I've already signal boosted it on tumblr, since I don't have any means to commission them currently. Hopefully you can do the same and some of you can commission them; their art is amazing and they really need some help right now.

Everyone... I am having
I am having trouble finding the words to express how deeply this gesture from the community has moved me. It's been a long time since this place was my home and a lot has happened since then. Truthfully, the years have been full of pain and struggle, and although many kind people have cared and encouraged me I have had little good news to share with them. I was raised not to be a burden on others so it has been especially tough not to be able to repay the kindness i've been shown, or even express gratitude as much as I want to.
Things have turned around, though, and although my financial situation is desperate and my future uncertain, I have little by little established a system which helps me manage my mental illnesses and other internal challenges. As my ability to function improves, even the daunting obstacles ahead seem less impossible than small challenges did when I did not have control of myself. In the last few weeks my vitality has improved significantly, and although I don't know how long this updraft will last I am trying to do everything I can in that time.
It is important to me to try and convey how much it has meant to me to see old names and be given gifts from people here. Even back then I feel like I didn't give as much to the community as it gave to me, so the knowledge that people here still look after me is as touching as it is unexpected. Your mails in my inbox felt like hands reaching through the darkness to help me up.
TEFc is a very special place. I knew it well back then and your charity and active concern have brought that rushing back to me.
I will do my very best to make art worthy of your money and to get to a better place in my life so I can share better news. Things are still very hard but I feel as though your hands have kindly wiped some of the sludge from my face and eyes and I have hope that things will be okay.
Thank you, so much.

We're here for you, rooting
Remember that sometimes good news is as simple as 'I got out of bed today' or 'today I smiled'. It doesn't have to be huge, the little accomplishments always come first.
P.S. We'll always be your secondary home, should you need it.
Wish I could put things more eloquently.
Money is sent, along with the
this community is the best.
