Sent Weaver some dollars.

Chipped in.

Did my part, hope it helps weaver!

yeah, the man does not belong on the street.

I dont have any cash, but this reminded me of a similar situation with a dA artist who needed money for a surgery and we could do the same some people did back then.

Im a drawfag myself, never really posted on Tgchan before, but i think something we could do is a massive comission sale, get someone trustfull (this is the hard part) to control a paypal account to get the money from the comissions there, and then everyone can set up a price for example:
"If you donate 15$ or more you will get a free draw from X", and then from time to time that person sends all the comissions money to Weaver.

This is just an idea and im sure it has its flaws, but again, its just an idea.

>>359900

Guys! Remember the Sharkstream?

We could do that. Chip in money to Weaver, while people draw stuff, or something.

>>359901
I dunno if weaver needs tens of thousands of dollars.

>>359904
Considering he tries to beg for his livelihood instead of getting a job he'll probably really need thousands of dollars.

Yeah? No... It's time to learn to earn money, like any normal person.

Constant begging on the ground of his creativity is not going to cut it.

>>359908
>>359910
I'm gonna third this.

>>359908
>>359910
>>359911
uhhh, he DID a have a job. just because he needs a influx of dosh doesn't mean he sits on his ass between asking.

>>359913

And he quit it after what? A month? You usuaully get evicted if you're WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY overdue on the rent.

>>359915

you sound a lot like you're assuming a lot of things without actually knowing anything for certain. you know what they say about assuming...

>>359908
>>359910
Constant begging? This is the only time I've even seen him just directly ask for cash.The last time he gave out drawings for it.
Did you actually even read the post? He just needs something so he isn't living on the fucking streets for a bit.
I was in a similar situation myself and I know just how hard it is to even ask for help. If not for the bit that I'd gotten I don't even know where I'd be right now.

>>359916
>you know what they say about assuming...
"If you're assumin', you're ridin' with Stalin"?

>>359915
I don't know about him quitting his job, but that is not anywhere near why he's getting thrown out.

Also yeah he asked for money only once before this and that was in return for essentially commissions. Buncha haters in here.

>>20669
Man, do you have any idea how hard it can be to find a job these days? Even if you are in a place with a half-decent job market you'll still have to fight tooth and nail to get that minimum wadge no benefits job, because there's at least three other dudes who want it too.

>>20677

I'd buy that if he actively searched for a job...

But given his previous record of begging for money and not actively searching for a job. No.

Hell even Captain Slowpoke was jobless at one point and he never ever begged for a single dime. He found a way to sustain himself somehow.

If Weaver was smart and as creative as he claims, he would probably be able to make some sustainable income. But if he is still thinking he's entitled to be given money due to his 'awesome creativity' and the fact 'he started questing' and 'did RubyQuest' then no. He should not be paid a single dime.

What we have here is a quest version of Alan

>>20679
Alan?
Alan Wake?
Tyrannosaurus Alan?

>>20679
While I won't donate anything (ruthless bastard etc.), your statement
>But if he is still thinking he's entitled to be given money due to his 'awesome creativity

is simply wrong. Read the tumblr. It's simply not his attitude.

>>20679
Hey buddy! I see you haven't read the posts Weaver linked, and have no idea what you're talking about!

Weaver's only ever asked for money once before, at least on tgchan, and he offered commissions that time. You can't say you know he hasn't been looking for a job, stop pretending that you do. Also he's not being evicted for missing payments.

Go read the links in the OP before posting again. If you are still an idiot after that, I'll ban you for trolling. Try not to be a cunt to people who are having hard times. I'm not asking for tgchan to be a hugbox here, but some common decency would be nice.

>itt a bunch of democrats and one republican

Most of us appear to be decent enough to donate to a guy on hard times. Hell, I probably would've donated even if it was some random poster that hasn't done a single Quest or doesn't draw: I just think it's decent and I have enough money to go around.

But then there is one guy who argues the person in question should get a job, they could earn their own money if they weren't being lazy, and that everyone is entitled to the swat of their own brow and have no obligations to donate them to someone.

And honestly, even with tumblr giving some background, I don't think any of us can say enough of the situation to objectively tell which one in this thread is right. Everybody makes some good points: basic decency versus getting your own shit together without handouts and crutches.

I don't know, maybe we can just all be friends anyway? That'd be nice.

>>20683
But friends help each other out (in moderation) when in need, don't they?

>inb4 I'd help my friends but my taxes are too high
>Fuck you very much

Anybody else think that a quest about the wacky misadventures Weaver and his brother have traveling across country in a beat-up old hippy van would be the best thing ever?

>>20684
I'd have friends but the tax is too high.

>>20686
No, because you used the word "wacky" and suggested a hippy van instead of a SdKfz 251/1.

>Anybody else think that a quest about the downright illegal misadventures Weaver and his brother have traveling across country in a beat-up old cop car would be the best thing ever?

>>20688
Now we're getting somewhere.

>>20683
Just saying, it's not just one guy

>>20688
make quest threads all day, now your life is one big quest... to survive.

Weaver quest 2012

>>20683
>>20695
And the guys in favor of donating aren't all Democrats...

I have no idea what some people in here are talking about. "Begging on the ground [sic] of his creativity"? He was extremely polite and self-effacing over the entire matter, made it very clear no one owes him anything and the only reason you should donate to him is if you feel like it. He was incredibly well-mannered.

Even though all I had to give was ten bucks, I'd say the dude has given me like two hundred hours of entertainment over the last... shit, six or seven years, so in my own personal opinion, he's earned what I gave.

>>20703
It is, as usual, simply a case of people not bothering to do a research. That shit's incredibly common.

>>20686
>>20688
All of my want.

I thought the parallels of his current situation to his previous works, like Player 1 (getting shit from Tom Nook, a "long train ride") and Boxdog (homelessness), is sort of crazy. It's almost as if he's become the quest.

...God fuck I love this guy. I'll be donating again, that's for sure.

>>20704

I can say I did my research, since I knew Weaver for much longer than most people on this site and know of his bullshit antics.

>>20711
Do you have any evidence to cite your claims?

>>20711
Who ARE you? Nobody else is supporting your viewpoint.

Also I think you're about to get banned, because you're still being an idiot.

Yeah how dare you express an opinion of your own, right?

>>20711

Oh man Weaver. Bob knows all your secrets. The jig is up. Now you're in real trouble.

Help Weaver or don't, don't use this thread to kick a guy while he's down.

If you don't think he deserves your help, then you are well within your right to not offer it. Posting in here about how bad he may or may not be isn't helping anybody, nor is it changing anyone's minds who have chosen to donate.

Banning will start happening if this keeps up.

if weaver ever ends up in St. John's Newfoundland, I can always try and hook a guy up.

Good news, everyone!

http://tgweaver.tumblr.com/post/20806934634/thank-you

>>20884
Hooray!

>>20884
Oh thank a million nonexistant gods. I'm very relieved to see that Weaver's doing well. He's a great author and he deserves it.

>>20884
>"What do people want?"
We want you to be safe and happy.

You're a thinking, feeling, sentient being. That means you deserve at least as much as the rest of us sentient beings, and we all acknowledge that. That's why we worked so hard for you.

I don't have a "regular" Tumblr so I can't reply there, but I hope this message gets to you anyway.

Be safe, be happy, and I wish only the best on you both.

Weaver has departed for his new destination.

Godspeed, sir.

>a tiny, rural farming town in California
Huh, that sounds like the area I'm gonna be in in a few days. God knows I'm as short on time as I am on money, but maybe there's something I can do to help out.

Weaver told me to tell you guys he and his bro made it to the place and things are doing OK

however, due to some complications, he'll be without proper internet access for a bit

>>20930
Understandable. Whenever moving, it takes me forever to get internet back up and running the way I need it to be.

Think we should make him something nice for when he gets back?

>>20933
YES :) but I have no ideas bloo bloo

>>20930

hooray!

>>20933
Lets make him a Muscio plushie! ^.V.^

>>20994
A cutebold plushie.

>>21011
That would be so cuuute! ^.V.^

>>21017
It exists.

>>21020
(squeeeee!) So cute! Oh! Lets make a Ridder plushie then!

>>21021
Ridders are one of Reaver's things, aren't they?

No, wait, Ridder was the person, not the race. Still, he's one of Reaver's things, right?

I guess we could make a plushie of that green flower guy he uses as an avatar. Sadly, I lack the weaving (haha) skills to contribute to it personally.

On a more positive note, Weaver's been drawing pictures of Queen Chrysalis, so his life's pretty up and running now.

>>21023
I'm glad to hear he and his brother are back on their feet. Live long and prosper you guys!

In case you may not have heard, Weaver now has lods of emone.
His situation has improved quite, and all because of the kindness of strangers. I wish I had the appropriate Simpsons screencap.

>>21921

Maybe not 'lods of emone' but more like 'enough to not have to worry about finances for several months.'

>>21927
The number is publicly displayed on his chipIn widget. It's quite a bit.

>>21927
Anon, he has L O D E S of E M O N E
He is set until 2013.

Hooray, Nan and Dive are returning!

Yay! Man, I'm actually a bit sorry I missed the rally. Just noticed this thread and was getting all up in arms, gonna pull out some dough, but then I noticed, "Oh, wait, he's all set now." I'm proud of humanity, now. Good luck, Weaver!

>>20657
In Soviet countries (like Poland, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and rest of eastern EU) you can't really be homeless. If you can't find a job state will offer you home and welfare :)
