Merrick has Violet under control, truly. There's no doubt in her mind that the wretch is fully contained, trapped, and locked away behind several barriers of her mind.

But sometimes, that bitch loves to bang on the door.

It won't shut up. Constant whispers mashed and layered over one another, telling her the horrid things she could be doing. It doesn't hurt, but it's annoying, exhausting to focus on much else. She needs to get out of her own head...

"Darling... Sir," she calls out in that meek tone, kneeling in the middle of the bed in a sheer white negligee. It's been a while, but she needs Murdock to take control. And as soon as burgundy eyes land on him, she can't hold back a whine. "Please..."

@merrick-of-violet

Despite the proof Merrick didn’t need to be treated with kid gloves, he couldn’t ever be mean to her. She could raze and scorch the earth just by looking at it, yet Murdock couldn’t offer the same treatment to her. With one exception. If cruelty and pain brought her pleasure and a quiet mind, he couldn’t deny it. Leaving the half read book on the side, he follows the sound of her pleading voice.

“Darling? You poor thing..” he croons, a finger slipping beneath the sheer neckline. “Do you want me to help you?” Murdock sits beside her, hands roaming underneath her clothes and scratching down her sides.

Artists, let’s talk about Instagram commission scammers

There’s been a huge rise in commission scammers recently, mostly on Instagram. A lot of new artists don’t know what to look out for, so I figured this might help people.

How they begin

Usually the scammer will write to you asking about a commission. Something deceptively cute - mostly I encounter asks about pet portraits, with one or two photos sent. They’ll probably try to sell you a sweet little story, like “It’s for my son’s birthday”. They will insist that they love your artwork and style, even though they don’t follow you or never liked a single piece of your art.

What to look out for:

Their profiles will either be private, empty, or filled with very generic stuff, dating at most a few years back.

Their language will be very simple, rushed or downright bad. They might use weird emojis that nobody ever uses. They will probably send impatient “??” when you don’t answer immediately. They’re in a crunch - lots of people to scam, you know.

They’ll give you absolutely no guidelines. No hints on style, contents aside from (usually) the pet and often a name written on the artwork, no theme. Anything you draw will be perfect. Full artistic freedom. In reality they don’t really care for this part.

They’ll offer you a ridiculous amount of money. Usually 100 or 300 USD (EDIT: I know it might not be a lot for some work. What I mean here - way higher than your asking price, 100 and 300 are standard rates they give). They’ll often put in a phrase like “I am willing to compensate you financially” and “I want the best you can draw”, peppered with vague praise. It will most likely sound way too good to be true. That’s because it is.

Where the scam actually happens

If you agree, they will ask you for a payment method. They’ll try to get to this part as soon as possible.

Usually, they’ll insist on PayPal. And not just any PayPal. They’ll always insist on sending you a transfer immediately. None of that PayPal Invoice stuff (although some do have methods for that, too). They’ll really, REALLY want to get your PayPal email address and name for the transfer - that’s what they’re after. If you insist on any other method, they’ll just circle back to the transfer “for easiest method”. If you do provide them with the info, most likely you’ll soon get a scam email. It most likely be a message with a link that will ultimately lead to bleeding you dry. Never, and I mean NEVER click on any emails or links you get from them. It’s like with any other scam emails you can ever get.

A few things can happen here:

They overpay you and ask for the difference to be wired back. Usually it will go to a different account and you’ll never see that money again.

They’ll overpay you “for shipping costs” and ask you to forward the difference to their shipping company. Just like before, you’ll never see that money again.

The actual owner of the account (yes, they most likely use stolen accounts to wire from) will realize there’s been something sketchy going on and request a refund via official channels. Your account will be charged with fees and/or you get in trouble for fraudulent transactions.

You will transfer the money from your PayPal credit to your bank account and they will make a shitstorm when they want their money back, making your life a living hell. They will call you a scammer, a thief, make wild claims, wearing you down and forcing you into wiring money “back” - aka to their final destination account.

Never, EVER wire money to anyone. This is not how it’s supposed to go. Use PayPal Invoice for secure exchanges where the client needs to provide you with their email, not the other way around.

You can find more info on that method HERE.

What to do when you encounter a scammer:

Ask the right questions: inquire about the style, which artwork of yours they like, as much details as you can. They won’t supply you with any good answers.

Don’t let the rush of the exchange, their praise and the promise of insanely good money to get to you. That’s how they operate, that’s how they make you lose vigilance.

Don’t engage them. As soon as you realize it might be a scam, block them. The sense of urgency they create with their rushed exchange, and pressure they put on you will sooner or later get to you and you might do something that you’ll regret later.

Never wire money to anyone. Never give out your personal data. Never provide your email, name, address or credit card info.

Don’t be deceived by receiving a payment, if you somehow agree to go along with it. Just because it’s there now doesn’t mean it can’t be withdrawn.

Here is a very standard example of such an exchange. I realized it’s a scam pretty fast and went along with it, because I wanted good screenshots for you guys, so I tried going very “by the book” with it.

Please share this post, make it reach as many artists as possible. Let young or inexperienced artists know that this is going on. So many people have no idea that this is a thing. Let’s help each other out. If you think I missed any relevant info, do add it as an rb!

Also, if you know other scam methods that you think should be shared, consider rb-ing this post with them below. Having a master post of scam protection would AWESOME to have in the art community.

Wanna purchase some beadwork? Live in Canada but have conflicting feelings about it's history and want to support the Indigenous people that live here? Do you just feel fed up with Canada Day nonsense?

Here are some beadwork artists in MY neighborhood that you should check out!

C'eldzïn Beadwork! I've bought her work before (the bisexual earrings) and she was kind enough to change said earrings to clip-ons for me! Her work is gorgeous and I highly recommend it!

Small Town Earrings!! They have very cute beadwork pieces, including some Pokemon and LOZ themed ones!!! I highly recommend their work as well!

Strong Blood Creations!! They're a trio of Indigenous women that create and distribute beadwork; I bought a hair clip from them recently that was absolutely gorgeous!!

Carmen Redunante! She's a Nisga'a/Chilean artist who sells absolutely gorgeous beadwork as well as other jewelry, prints, and and tapestry!!

More artists may be added later!!

This post was brought to you by: an almost exact same thread I did on twitter that I posted right as the entire site imploded so I decided to share the artists here so that they'd actually get traction! Twitter sucks

#indigenous art #beadwork #canada day #canada day 2023 #native art #indigenous artist #formline art #hope my fellow indigenous ppl living in canada have a good day today #bc the patriotism is gonna be in full swing for the next couple days -_-

It was getting harder to sleep.

Merrick didn't need much sleep to begin with, but it's been even less now since rescuing Murdock. She could go almost a week before feeling tired, and then she would be surprised if she slept a full three hours. Her body didn't really need it anymore. She didn't need a lot of things anymore...

But she needed the man currently sleeping next to her. Murdock is wrapped around her like a lifeline in a storm, and she watches him sleep. Running a hand through his hair softly, listening to his deep breathing. Basking in the warmth of his body enveloping her cooler form.

As much as she needed this, needed him... it didn't make what she had to do any easier.

~~~~~

"I'm sorry, you said yer doin' what now?"

"You've given me the information I asked for, Yancy, and I intend to use it."

"Yeah, but I'm pretty sure you said you plan on goin' in there? Alone?"

The mob boss had sounded dumbfounded over the phone, and Merrick couldn't blame him. He didn't know what she was capable of. "Yes... alone. I can take care of myself."

"I mean... I don't doubt that. I heard about the state that the house was found in... but damn, darlin', this is an entire buildin' we're talkin' about-"

"I know." Firm, cold. Resolved.

Silence, then a huff. "This Murdock is one lucky man. Hope he knows it."

~~~~~

Her hand rests over Murdock's cheek now, and she leans in, trailing soft kisses along his forehead. A little longer... just a little longer, and she would slip out of bed.

@merrick-of-violet

Sleeping is one of the few vices he has left. Tossing and turning most of the time, occasionally allowed rest without disturbance. Arms wrapped tightly around Merrick day and night, refusing to let go. Tonight, he was asleep without worry. So little of his old activities felt comforting, wandering around the house with little purpose. No one to kill, nothing to plan. Vivaldi needed to be taken care of, but so little needed to be done. Staying asleep meant nothing to do, or walking aimlessly around the house.

Dreamless sleep continues on, both arms wrapped tightly around her. He’d planned to do something important, anything besides hiding in the house. Become something that resembled his old self, to save himself. Murdock doesn’t move in his sleep, practically dead to the world.
