Oh gosh, laptops and computers breaking down is the worst. That is the main reason I have some savings locked (so no touchy unless something breaks, also counts for laundry machine etc).
Oh nice, an overview. I don't mind the wait by the way, I just like knowing a little what is up; I did a commission in the past who said it could take up to three months, I told him it's fine so long I am kept in the loop (mostly because he did want payment up front). I am blessed with patience.
Oh, pastel is completely fine, and the weapon could be fun since in that outfit it is basically a goblet of gold (if you do outfit 3 in my post), but it is absolutely not needed (so it is up to you if it fits the drawing in the first place).
