"Ah, good," said the Patrician. "Now, I would just like to ask one or two questions, if I may?"
Goodmountain nodded.
"Firstly, is Mr. Cut-My-Own-Throat Dibbler involved in this enterprise in any significant managerial capacity?"
"What?" said William. He hadn't been expecting this.
"Shifty fellow, sells sausages--"
"Oh, him. No. Just the dwarfs."
"I see. And is this building built on a crack in space-time?"
"What?" said Gunilla.
The Patrician sighed. "When one has been the ruler of this city as long as I have," he said, "one gets to know with a sad certainty that whenever some well-meaning soul begins a novel enterprise they always, with some kind of uncanny foresight, site it at the point where it will do maximum harm to the fabric of reality." [...]
"What?" said Goodmountain.
"We haven't noticed any cracks," said William.
"Ah, but possibly on this very site a strange cult once engaged in eldritch rites, the very essence of which permeated the neighborhood, and which seeks only the rite, ahaha, circumstances to once again arise and walk around eating people?"
"What?" said Gunilla. He looked helplessly at William, who could only add:
"They made rocking horses here."
"Really? I've always thought there was something slightly sinister about rocking horses," said Lord Vetinari, but he looked subtly disappointed.
Terry Pratchett, The Truth* *For the anon who requested the bit about cracks in space-time from this excellent conversation in The Truth, where Vetinari demonstrates the Ankh-Morpork approach to urban planning.

You don’t “try to start a business” you give it your all or nothing. Businesses don’t fail. People fail their businesses.

Welcome to my blog for the shop I recently opened - ImpeRiCal. Now, you’re surely wondering, “Wtf are you doing marketing the shop on Tumblr out of all the social media platforms today?” Well, first off, I still love Tumblr (despite everything). Second, what I will do with this tiny shop (well, what I want to do) is perfect for Tumblr. What is that? Well…
ImpeRiCal is an e-shop where I create designs and through print-on-demand platforms sell them on different products. I primarily make them for phone cases, but (as you will read on the shop’s site) if you like some design on a different product, that can be done by contacting me and discussing the possibility. The designs are structured into 3 categories:
• Abstract: These are simple designs, nothing too complicated about them. Hence, they won’t have a story.
• Dreamland: These are more detailed and interesting designs that are connected to a story.
• Intermix: Sometimes I end up with designs that are not abstract but I can’t quite put them in a story. They don’t always make good phone cases but can be interesting on something else, even as a phone background.
And now you must be wondering what are these stories I keep mentioning. This is where Tumblr comes into play. Each Dreamland design will be connected to a fanfic or a personal story. Basically, they will be more like scenes and elements of the made-up story my brain decides to share that day. All of these short fics/stories will be posted here, with relevant hashtags so you know what you’re reading and getting. Basically, this Tumblr will be the shop’s personal storyteller ✨
Well, that’s all I have for now. With time I will create more posts and videos (probably uploaded on the shop’s Insta) about how it all came to be and what every little corner of my store (can I say it has corners?) means.
The e-shop will launch in a few days so stay tuned! (Unless you’re reading this after it launched, in which case, hi!) 🤗
Ps. Find the online store and everything else here: https://linkpop.com/imperical

I'm selling on Etsy after a social media hiatus!
I sell jewelry made from stones I tumbled myself, pins with original art, pin with recycled Pokémon cards, and, most importantly...
FANDOM SHIT AYO!!
I make custom character/ship playlists at a cost of $0.01 per song (50, 75, or 100 songs). Here's some I've made on my own time, but check out the listing for more details!

But what I really want people to look into is my fandom bracelets!! I'll make you a Kandi bracelet, charm bracelet, or beaded (semi precious stones) bracelet based on your favorite characters, ships, song lyrics, artists, etc.
Here are the only one's I've sold so far :)

Please consider checking me out!
Starting up my business while unemployed means I'm not getting much money in, so a sale would be much appreciated, and I will do everything to make sure your order turns out how you want it to be!
However, if you just want to throw a dollar my way (or maybe want to check out my commissions!!), then head to my Ko-Fi! Any support is so so appreciated <33

I launched a print on demand (POD) business yesterday because I was ✨bored✨ and honestly, money is nice!
Here's the shop:
Tumblr is the only social I have set up so far!:
@abstractionbyemme
I decided to use Printify because it's free and seems decent! I know it's kinda pricey and there's only like 7 or 8 items but it's a work in progress! I will be transparent and say that I'm aware of the cost of production per product, the shipping (unfortunately cannot offer free), and my profit margins. Having a bachelor's in business and just being interested in business as well, I've always been appalled at the greedy companies that have profit margins in the x00%. Given that, I'm trying to keep my profit margins ≤40% especially considering that there's an automatic tax deduction of 24% taken from my profits.
My first collection is called Shades of Pink and it's sand art, I do make everything for my designs by utilizing my iPad and a variety of apps!
Please enjoy! Feel free to suggest product ideas!
If there's any criticism or critiques, please be kind about it! I know this might not be that well thought out because it was impulsive but I mean it doesn't hurt to try something either!

When it comes to shipping products for your business; you don’t have to do your own shipping. This becomes time consuming and you need to invest as much of your time in growing your business.
Instead of doing your own fulfillment you can:
You can dropship products- this is when the supplier ships the product for you when the sale comes in. You never have to see or touch the product.
You can rent your own warehouse and hire your own staff- this is obviously very costly and should be done when you have a medium to larger business.
You can also use a 3PL. This stands for third party logistics and they are companies that will handle your fulfillment for you when a sale comes in. Your product goes from your supplier to the fulfillment company and when a sale comes in, they ship it for you. You don’t have to see or touch the product.
Same goes with customer service. As soon as your business can afford to hire out, hire someone to handle your customer service. This not only frees up your time, but gives you so much peace of mind because dealing with customer service can be very draining.
Remember that your job is to work ON your business not FOR your business.
