A friend over at Tumblr was having financial troubles and I donated to their Kofi. As an unexpected gift she drew me a kid Sherlock with a bee plushie. So cute! If you like that kind of thing I hope you'll check it out.

Kid Sherlock with Bee, for dear @marta-bee who was kind enough to buy me some coffees ❤️ I’m very grateful!

ETA: I have Thoughts with a capital 't' about fanart being commissions and am not all that comfortable with it because it seems like a slippery slope toward monetizing fandom. I don't even like the push toward auctioning fanworks to raise money for a good cause. I do fully recognize other people feel differently, Tumblr is probably more okay with commercializing than LJ, and fanart in general than fanfic. I don't judge people who go that route, but I think there will always be that part of me that says: I'll do this because it's the way this community works, but it's not really ideal for me.
That said, helping out someone I know online? Having the financial ability to just drop a chunk of change and have that make a real difference in their life, and the technical tools to do it from the comfort of my couch? I will say there are some good things of making it to a ripe middle age.
