If you're going to make two accounts, it's probably better to just use the business account for business purposes, and use the personal account for personal purposes. It'll make tax stuff and record keeping much easier, and I don't really see any benefit to mixing them up like that.
Good point, I'll try to follow your advice a bit.

there might be a loophole with using funding platforms, if you set up a contract in writing specifying that you're to be paid at that platform, via "donation".
those platforms can be set either as a business or charity entity (nothing illegal there), and a contract can be written with one of the parts as a business (you).

I don't think anywhere in those platforms is it stated that you can't set up an account or campaign for one specific job.
of course, you'll have to give the contract to the client and let them read it, and they have all right to call bullshit on that.... nothing you can do there.
and... you have to pay the lawyer.

another way (and, I can't believe both me saying this, AND, it being legal!) would be to set up an onlyfans account.
seriously... they have protection measures to track any content you upload there, and you can use an alias.
nowhere in their terms of usage does it specify what kind of content you are required to upload. *wink*

Never thought doing commissions would be so complicated.

I'm lucky people just don't believe it's a name.
Oof, parents gave you a weird name, didn't they. Hang in there buddy, you'll get to change it when you're old enough!

oh you're giving them the commission for free.
what you're charging for, is the envelope.

Nah, eventually I started to be happy with the weird name I have, it means trust or loyal. But I still would like to avoid any more problems than the ones I had already because of it.

I gotta admit, I'm getting curious about what your name actually is.

Aside from that bit of curiosity, I'm glad you came to be happy with your name. Even if I didn't like mine, I couldn't see myself changing it.

I'm just gonna say, that it's more of a word in a certain language rather than name.

My name is a food over here. At every convenience store I see my name, often accompanied by huge BARGAIN! banners and indecent discounts. Hasn't stopped me. But... it's your call.

Hello everyone, I inform you that you can now freely try my new Plugin: Dynamic Switch for RPG MAKER MZ.

You can see the official post in the forum: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/rpg-maker-mz-plugin-dynamic-switches.161525/

I hope you like it and I'm looking forward to your comments and suggestions! :)
Right, finally responded to everyone who had an open commission query with me. If I've missed anyone, please let me know.
Okay, so it looks like I've bamboozled by that dastardly placebo effect again. Still taking the meds, which seemed to help at first, but yesterday evening my chest got this odd numbness, which didn't last long, but still. AND its still difficult to breathe. Guess I'll go spend the money I was saving for homebuying costs on another doctor visit :\
