SOLD OUT I’m not sure which angles I like better, but she got her glamour shots today, no filter! New Hel Mary is now available in the shop 🌿
Klarna is available through Etsy for this piece; shipping is high because of her size, but I do refund the difference when applicable. Rates are set at market averages. Local delivery is free for Pittsburgh! Just DM me before purchasing if you are in the area please.
I have a hot take but now that I’m 31 and still enjoying manga and anime, I actually don’t think kids under 17 should be enjoying it too bc half that shit just goes right over their heads 🫡
Wdym you didn’t understand that the entire plot is a political allegory? Your fav character would never do radical woke left things???
Wdym you didn’t understand the sexual sub context?
Actually wdym be fucking for real
Even 17 is too young. Actually be 25 and have a mostly formed brain. I beg of you. Please everything is an allegory for all kinds of mistreatment!!! These stories are dark!! They require adult experience to understand!!
***of course of course caveats for stories that are actually meant for children/young adults and the very real context of some people who have trouble processing but
Half these shonen should not be consumed by little kids who don’t understand what the world does to people. Trauma is key to so many plots. Historical romance is often political and contextual to eras. LOTS OF POWER DYNAMICS you need historical context for to not make your personality bc you saw it in media. Fantasy is so often psychologically high brow + political drama. Cultural dynamics are not a personality trait to consume. Lots of grey area consent or lack of consent or historical era consent.
Like seriously what 16 year old would watch Psycho Pass for example and get anything out of it except copaganda and completely miss the allegory for AI technology shaping society, the struggle for human based justice and logic, police state and government control and propaganda, the madness that comes from trying to become god, the struggle of ethics and morality in the context of politically biased laws, governments completely fine with controlling AND tossing out our bodies like garbage. All the biblical brain washing, the ideas of homogenous society and immigration politics. POLITICAL FINANCIAL GAIN OVER HUMAN LIFE. But big tech guns fun and interesting!
Don’t ever read the comments under episodes or related videos I beg you. It’s like the boomers on Facebook but for 14 year olds 😤
I have always been a huge fan of Full Metal Alchemist. It hits so differently at different ages. I think anything a teen or young adult reads should be reread later in life once you’ve got a better understanding of the political and traumatic world.
These stories always have so many complex layers and I sure as hell didn’t appreciate it at 15
Right! Like yes you can still enjoy the stories as a teen but you miss a lot of the plot and messaging. I think there’s still a lot of stigma about adults enjoying animated media which is part of the problem, but it’s the same for American comics. Anime tends to have a “cuter” style which can be maybe more uncomfortable to consume, but certainly not all of it either. But I personally don’t enjoy American comics as much bc of the art style and it’s too close to home with the cringey patriotism and overdone hero worship 😅 but a lot of the same themes are present in both medias and a lot of anime also portray American/UK politics, characters and folklore!
Anything is deeper than Disney plot lines tho 😅 sorry not sorry I’m a Disney hater
Also fandoms in general. I was never really interested in fandoms of any kind growing up and now that I have adult money and technology and can….oh my god. Please ban the children??? Why are they like that??? Be so serious??? I’m so glad I never embarrassed myself like that

Being back on birth control sucks (aside from physically feeling better) bc I instantly gained weight in my ass and boobs THE THINGS IM TRYING TO HIDE FOR MY GENDER and now I’m like…why did I ruin my feminine beauty with a haircut? I’m purposely making myself look silly (in my head)
And like it’s all an experiment of my image, hair grows back, I could work out. But I really hate the way that birth control and simply the concept of it reminds me that I am in fact a child bearing person and that I’m supposed to look pretty according to society
It’s been requested that I start bringing back Tarot deck bags, so I hope this neon multicolor is a good start! Available online for $25 (free shipping in the US). More on the way!
Tarot deck bags used to be one of my best sellers and I like to think my stitches have improved over the years; but I just think they are a cozy compliment to your daily or favorite deck instead of having to open a box every time or accidentally shoving the cards in wrong (I’m guilty of that 😅). Custom requests are always welcome!
I realized last night after a heart warming dream that my first crush (that lasted like legitimately 8 years on and off) definitely said “ew” in response to finding a note that just said “I love Robby” on it (and confronting me) because I was fucking autistic and tried to flirt with him by essentially standing slightly out of his view like this 🧍🏻 for many years until I learned how to socialize 🫡
I hate to say it but the worst part about boycotting Starbucks and Dunkin is that my sensory issues are horrific and those were comfort drinks for me. I have been buying from local shops here and there but about 60% of the time I just end up throwing away drinks because they literally make me feel sick and taste horrific. It’s not even that they’re actually bad, but that I can’t stomach super bitter things, the espresso is made differently and it’s burnt or super bitter and chains are just more palatable to the general public. I’m completely aware that makes me seem uncultured and I’m okay with that bc I really have almost thrown up from local creations lol. I’m still not going back to Starbucks or Dunkin for now but YEESH
I can mostly rely on boba shops but it’s still not the same lol
