Um, dude, we were ALWAYS cruel to one another. We're basically more intelligent animals. How many people do you think have died in war, died pointlessly, been murdered, raped? People hate each other all the fucking time, even for shit like skin color. Youre telling me you didnt get made fun of in high school, looking like you did?
If he did, I'm convinced it was because he was called out on being such a dick here for using watermarked, low res art. I have zero faith in Russ to ever doing the right thing, but colored me surprised that shame sometimes works on him. He probably thought no one would notice.
Considering fiverr is like a "five dollars for this work done" website, I think it probably cost him like... 5 dollars.
I dont know exactly how it works but (I think people set their own rates and can negotiate, and get like a per-piece deal) but it probably didnt cost him a whole lot, even. I mean granted most people on fiverr are in third world countries, or theyre really desperate--usually the quality of the work is not that great either, but I doubt he paid any more in commission than you would see any "art cow" here get paid for their work. He only commissioned one or two pages, I imagine at most he tried to stiff someone the cost of like a meal out.
Not that he ever will be able to but imagine him on a date, and Taylor (of course it would be her) orders the fucking ribeye, he would freak out. I can imagine him being that much of a cheap ass. "No, what?! That's like 24 dollars! Look, youre getting the kids burger. It's only 7. No, you cant get a drink --" and he turns to the waiter, "She's getting water. Geez Im not made of money here! ... So how are you?" Then he acts all normal while he drools on the table and fumbles with silverware, food spilling out of his mouth. He wouldnt tip.
He's gotta save up that 4 grand for weird gestures of romance so he can pretend to be a gentleman to a prostitute, who is absolutely not going to fucking care.
