Commissions

Hi! I'm opening up commissions for furries! If you want your own furry drawn I'd really appreciate the commission! Furries are fully customisable! This includes: colours, coat patterns, backgrounds, species etc!

I will not draw: NSFW, anything offensive/bigoted.

Extra Notes:

See the attached commission sheet for pricing & examples.

I reserve the right to reject any commission if I am uncomfortable.

I only take PayPal payments, and I take half the payment after the sketch is approved and the rest once it's completed!

Estimated turn around is dependant on the design, and will be discussed once a commission is opened.

My timezone is UTC, so please be patient with my replies!

I will be opening other types of commissions in the future (e.g. full body furries)!

If you're interested, please shoot me a message! Thank you, I really appreciate it! <3

They’re the only thing keeping me sane right now

no but you don't understand all the season 1 episode names end with an exclamation mark because she is excited and super in denial! she wants her life to be better, she literally tries to force it to be better! she is making the most impulsive irresponsible choices and she does not let anything stop her! she is going to be happy and she is going to be happy now!!!

she is in denial about josh -- but she is even more in denial about her mental state! that's why all the episode's have josh's name in them!!! she can, under certain conditions, admit that this is in fact about josh, but she will literally almost die before she admits that it's actually about her own mental health! and then in season 2, she is starting to doubt everything! every episode name ends with a question mark!!!! but they all! still! have! josh's! name! in! them!!! she is spiraling! the story she's been telling herself isn't convincing anymore!

and then she can't keep pretending. she can't keep pretending that she isn't obsessed with josh, she can't keep pretending that that's not why she's here, she can't keep pretending she's not crazy. the episode titles now end with a period. but she can still pretend that it's about josh.

until she can't.

but recovery isn't linear. so for one episode, it's not about josh. but then it becomes about nathaniel, and we go back to exclamation points. and it's still better, but rebecca can't go from where she was to perfectly healthy in just a few episodes. she still has a long way to go.

and then we get "trent?!", which forces her to confront with everything she's done. it's a name, and it's a question mark, and it's an exclamation mark, and it's an episode that in a way turns the narrative on its head. it's not an episode about trent, it's an episode about rebecca. from josh's perspective. from the perspective of the people she's hurt. and in the end she understands it. and nathaniel becomes irrelevant.

and in season 4, nothing is certain. the names have open endings. everything is in progress. and it's about her

anatomy of a doomed romance

ALL TBOM ELDERS + all canon information on them

I am making this to help out anyone who is writing fanfics or drawing fan art of The Book Of Mormon and wants to draw the elders accurately or keep them in character. I will involve all lines from each character + their fandom given first name and other small things that indicate their personality or traits. I will also state the animal they brought up in I Am Africa since I believe the animals do reflect their personalities in some way.

Elder Church

- Elder “James” Church

- Given the name James by the fandom

- OBC actor: Brian Sears

- Comes from Cheyenne, Wyoming

- When he was young his parents were in an abusive relationship, with his alcoholic father abusing him and his mother

- “Okay, okay, HOLD ON! I mean… We COULD… SAY that we had some baptisms” Is the elder that suggests lying about how many baptisms district 9 has achieved

- “We were SO worried about you” Is the first elder that tells Kevin they were SO worried about him when he fell asleep at the bus station

- In I Am Africa he sings “(with) The Noble Lion King”

- In I Am Africa he also sings “A tribal woman who doesn’t wear a bra”

Elder Michaels

- Elder “Michael” Michaels

- Given the name Mike by the fandom

- OBC actor: Clark Johnsen

- Comes from Provo

Elder Thomas

(I could not find a photo of him, please accept this photo of the actor as an offering)

- Elder “Chris” Thomas

- Also goes by Elder Poptarts

- Given the name Chris by the fandom

- OBC actor: Scott Barnhardt

- His sister died from cancer and he was unable to say goodbye since he was at the apple store in line for a new iphone. Her last words were “Where is my brother”

- “You, too?! I had the hell dream after I accidentally read a Playboy!” Had his first hell dream after accidentally reading a playboy

- “Well, somebody needs to tell that General Butt-F-ing Named that people should be free to do what they want!” Is the elder that gives Kevin the idea of speaking to the general.

- In I Am Africa he sings “(with) The meerkat”. A lot of the fandom compares him to being like a meerkat

Elder Davis

Same thing, take this photo of him (right) standing next to Andrew Rannells (left)

- Elder “Robert” David

- Given the name Robert by the fandom

- OBC actor: Jason Michael Snow

- Is the first elder to ask if Elder McKinley is okay when he is panicking about the mission president

- “Elder Cunningham we must always work in PAIRS. Remember?” Is the first elder to complain about Arnold and Kevin arguing before being shut down by Elder McKinley

- “Looks like you fell asleep at the bus station!” (to Kevin after SMHD)

Elder Schrader

- Elder “Brian” Schrader

- Given the name Brian by the fandom

- OBC actor: Benjamin Schrader

- Please note that he isn’t called Elder Schrader in every performance, he sometimes takes the last name of the actor that plays him since he is named after Benjamin Schrader, his OBC actor

- “Are you an IDIOT?! MORMONS don’t LIE!” could come across as him being outspoken + rude personality wise

- In I Am Africa he sings “With the rhino”

Elder Neeley

Same thing AGAIN. Have a photo him (left) standing next to Jason Michael Snow (right)

- Elder “Ted” Neeley

- Given the name Ted by the fandom

- OBC actor: Kevin Duda

- “I told a lie once when I was twelve, and I had a dream that I went to hell! It was REALLY SPOOKY.” Had his first hell dream after telling a lie when he was 12

- “Yeah, we have to go home!” “But the mission president said we’re all as far from the Latter-Day Saints as it gets!” Seems to be the elder that wants to go home most after being shunned by the mission president

Elder Zelder

I scoured the internet and found no photos of him at all this is all I got sorry guys

- Elder “Elder” Zelder

- Given this name by the fandom, frequently referred to as an alien. I assume this is due to him having fewer lines compared to the other elders. People joke that Elder Zelder is his full name

- OBC actor: Justin Botton

- In I Am Africa he sings “(we are) A monkey with a banana”

PAIRINGS

Here is a photo of the chalk board that lists the pairings of all the elders:

If you can’t read it,

Elder McKinley + Elder Thomas

Elder Zelder + Elder Michaels

Elder Neeley + Elder Schrader

Elder Church + Elder Davis

also it’s a good example of Elder Schrader’s name changing based on the actor portraying him!!

Thank you for reading my little infodump, I did this mostly for myself but I would be happy to know that other people found this helpful!!

they’re both so me
