Do you want to rattle around a 100+ year old man like a stress toy?

Well maybe you can! I've been designing a shaker charm for the past two months, and I'm aaaaaallllmost done. Some colours are subject to change due to printed colours being physically unable to directly match computer colours, but that's a given. I will also be making at Least two designs for each Idol, their Splatoween and Grandfest outfits as regular charms, and Maybe a print if i can come up with something good enough. This will all be sold on a personal store, with Maybe an etsy as well for browsing that will have higher prices due to the cut they take, with a disclaimer pointing to the cheaper site. In any case, what i want to know is.....

He shakes! He rattles! He'll have a second design on the back! Who wouldn't want to violently wiggle around a war criminal?

(due to being double sided, he will go BEHIND the seaweed and decorations. With 2mm buffer for the acrylic, he Should sit nicely on the top of the rocks. Design subject to change if I run into troubles with construction.)

the situation with harry potter is kind of unprecedented in some ways imo because it is maybe the largest media franchise in history to be created & owned by a single person who still has direct creative control over it. who is also a billionaire with significant cultural/political influence. like the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" type excuses shatter on impact when the bigoted author in question is logging onto twitter every day saying explicitly that when you buy the tim hortons ravenclaw donut she is using your donut money to fund the genocide of trans people. like with big franchises usually there's at least a little more diffusion of responsibility than this

Sometimes having an OC is like "this character is an outlet for my insecurity and trauma" and sometimes it's like "this character is an outlet for my love of vampires :)". Sometimes it's both

Sometimes you think it's "this character is an outlet for my love and nothing more :)" and then you look it over later like "shit. product of the deepest depths of my soul again"

Sometimes it’s the unyielding silence

Once i had a teacher who was OBSESSED with

A) resource guarding

And

B) Harry Potter

So naturally, every time someone didn’t have a pencil she would charge them 10 house points (which, even in schools where there is an actual house point system, probably doesn’t fucking happen). She openly held the belief that she had to ascribe value to these precious writing implements or else no one would appreciate them, a concept evidenced by, i kid you not, how when homeless people are given houses for free they let them fall into disarray, because they didn’t pay for the house and therefore didn’t care about it. I, a pissed off 13 year old with a vendetta against power hungry teachers and also JK Rowling, brought a 100 pack of pencils to school so that whenever someone had to ask for one, instead of being charged a fictional currency and upsetting their fellow, deeply competitive students, i would just give them one. If the pencil didn’t come from the teacher, she couldn’t charge points for it.

This upset her. She couldn’t assert her power over the 1st period Advanced 8th Grade Math Class anymore. For i, The Pencil Liberator, had come to put an end to her tyrannous behavior.

She told me to stop about 30 pencils in.

Guess who just got into 17776 and had to draw out this joke at light speed. Nine is my favorite.

proud victim of the tumblr accent. it's fading out of public consciousness as the tik tok accent takes precedence; a linguistic evolution that makes the tumblr accent 85% funnier to unsuspecting civilians. it's like releasing a disease on a non-inoculated population. coughing baby versus hydrogen bomb.

>no idea what a tumblr accent even is

>”oozes off of me like a thick miasma”

im angry at myself for walking into that so perfectly
