And NO I do not mean a phobia of the Dutch Angel Dragon, Telephone, I have an honest and real phobia of making and receiving phone calls...
- - - -
Today was another reminder of how anxious I get about the phone.
A customer wanted to call and talk to me about their order before committing cash vs just stick to email, and I had to tell them no because the idea made me want to panic. Even though I KNEW that saying no could jeopardize everything, even though I knew this commission that I actually really want to do could slip through my fingers because I won't take a phone call... despite the known risk, I could not bring myself to let them call me .__.
So I told them the truth, that I have a phobia of the phone and want to stick to email, I have yet to hear back...
This phone phobia is luckily not much of an issue for me thanks to the internet, I have zero issue with emails or texting, I can do things like order a pizza or book a hotel online never having to touch a phone, I can even book an appointment with my doctor or ask her a question online.
The internet is a HUGE saving grace with my phobia.
But today that anxiety has hit and hit hard because of this pending commission wanting to call me TmT;

Selling some of my personal costumes
You can find them for sale here https://www.thedealersden.com/search/other-items/?username=beastcub&user_id=105686 - - - I hate to sell these but my roof is 20 years overdue for a replacement and we sprung multiple leaks in the record rain California received over the winter, and now an El Nino may be heading our way, and so I badly need to replace it, but it is going to be roughly $50k!!! I had the money almost all saved up for it, but after a sewer line disaster, a neighbor's tree limb falling on our car, having our giant mostly dead 200 year old cottonwood tree removed after it proved itself dangerous after a mere piece of it's bark punched a hole in my shed roof (I loved that tree, RIP) and having to replace the HVAC units on both the main house and the addition, all in the span of 10 months, I don't have the funds anymore. And so, since my sister and I have mostly retired from conventions and events we are selling some of our personal costumes to scrape up a deposit for the

notes on using a ballcap as a fursuit base
The ball cap method is something I came up with over a decade ago due to my need of glasses and issues with the usual methods of balaclavas and elastic straps setting off my claustrophobia.
It has come to my attention another maker has been using hats inside their fursuit heads and they are doing it all wrong (using small sized floppy hats with a sliding adjuster, only sewing the hood to the hat in one small spot, and not attaching the hat to the resin base at all let alone putting any foam in the gap, just one of these can lead to a disaster of a fit and this person is doing all of the above) and now I am hearing "built on a baseball hat" u
Fursuit commissions open now
Ok, so, I had a minor pose as an adult to commission me and fraudulently use their mother's credit card, the paypal case has been in review for over a month and it is still not resolved, and if the case is not found in my favor I will loose the spent deposit and face some financial worry.
As a precaution I wish to cover said funds now and thus I will be open to give quotes to potential new clients from now to June 8th, I will then select my lucky new clients June 9th. (This opening is a bonus opening, my usual opening in August is still happening.)
For a quote email me at thebeastcub@gmail.com please only email me if you are ready to commit

Wow, I suddenly don't feel so alone in this. Sorry you feel that way, but I am also glad to know I am not the only one.
