@Katrophel I mean you found out eventually and that's good enough for me

[✦Xastro @pyxinavis]

I never officially came out to most people but one time I showed these emojis 💛🤍💜🖤 to a friend thinking they'd get it instantly.

Later on we were having chicken nuggets and I offhandedly mentioned being nonbinary that they froze mid-bite and went "YOU'RE NONBINARY?!"

[yasmin🪷 @mrs__yasmin]

what’s yall coming out story?

[✦Xastro @pyxinavis]

Unlocking my acc again but Im still hesitant sharing art again here (considering haha)

But eventually I wanna share some stuff I've been working on here too ♡

Maybe I'll remake a pinned post but ultimately I'm still active on bsky 🦋

[✦Xastro @pyxinavis]

@jackzarts OOO!! Congrats!!!! That's awesome!

*becomes!!! jeebus

[✦Xastro @pyxinavis]

Haven't tweeted in a hot min but I'm compiling a little pdf/zine/artbook thing of my main dnd oc because I love her sm she's my little pebble.

I'm working on text rn but idk how much of it will end up in the final version, who even reads! (I do...I love reading...)

[✦Xastro @pyxinavis]

I'm just torn on having this little archive of Phoebe's story versus just having it be only the art. I've worked on other stuff to archive the story but none that has both the written content and my art together.

Since I'm still planning stuff out I'll see what it becoms.

[✦Xastro @pyxinavis]

I'll be posting my art exclusively on bsky and tumblr now sorry gang but you can find me under the same usernames as usual 👍

I'll still be here sometimes cus some of my friends are still here but yea

[✦Xastro @pyxinavis]

I'm slowly going to work on uploading all the art I forgot to put onto bsky, it's hard to be active on multiple socials but I'm here too!! >~<

Still thinking about how someone said "sounds like clown music" on a video, and then I listen to the ost and it's just upbeat music with traditional Chinese instruments like are you kidding me 💀

[✦Xastro @pyxinavis]

Lrt, it's much better said than I ever could lol

[LaurenWalshArt @LaurenWalshArt]

It’s not a “rising trend” it’s standard business practices. If you are using art for your business as merch, promotional material, models or anything that aids you & your business as a streamer in making money it is COMMERCIAL work & which is priced differently than PERSONAL work

[✦Xastro @pyxinavis]

Also one last thing to add, these commercial use fees are often a one time fee, in comparison to your usage for streaming and profit which is a long term and potentially recurring thing depending on your success as a Vtuber.

[✦Xastro @pyxinavis]

I know people have said this, but it's important to clarify that "commercial use" also includes anything that will earn you money. If you are streaming and making a profit, anything you use will sometimes have that extra fee: 🧵

[Veli 🐱💗 ⇢ OFFKAI EXPO 2026 @Veliful]

Unpopular and controversial opinion, but as a person who has been on the internet for more than 10 years and as an artist, it's annoying how there's a rising trend to add a 'commercial fee' to everything that isn't commercial.

Commercial fees are supposed to be for products sold en masse or used as physical advertisement like big posters, but people are adding it for things that shouldn't have it.

Commercial fees for a vtuber model? You're drawing a design someone else made and it's for personal use. Commercial fees for a starting soon/ending soon stream? It's a display of work with credits. What's the point of commissioning a simple artwork then if you can't display it in any way without having to pay more fees?

And I repeat, I'm an artist myself who got and gets commissioned a lot, but I will put a commercial fee exclusively if the person wants to profit by selling my artwork in mass. They get all the rights to use my work to display on streams, twitch banner, profile and shouldn't come with any extra commercial fees of sort. I will put a commercial fee on a vtuber model only if they plan to sell premade models.
Hopefully I don't get lynched for expressing my own opinion, but wanting to commission someone and seeing 200% of the price extra if I want to display it on my stream is a horrid turn off, especially when up until 4 years ago this wasn't a thing I ever seen and many people still don't do that.

[✦Xastro @pyxinavis]

This is to ensure that the artist is fairly compensated for the work that you are making money off of.

If you don't like how an artist applies a commercial fee to their terms, then my advice one artist to another is to invest on making them yourself so you can avoid that.
