what about making fanmerch via another company - like for acrylic keychains & standees? :-o
I don't have an issue with fans making fan merch, but it gets legally complicated when you involve companies into the mix.
to specify what i mean: there's a weird technicality in the law about monetizing stuff, where if you can't prove you're the sole proprietor of something, you can lose the copyright for it. i don't actually have any issue with dt fans making stuff and selling them in of itself, but when you have fans submitting stuff to companies, it gets a little iffier.
most companies that allowed unvetted user submissions require people to say or agree that the thing they're submitting is their own to sell - this is to legally cover their own asses, so they can't be held accountable for copyright infringement and pass the buck to the uploader if there's a dispute. this is where the problem comes in, legally speaking. There's (unfortunately) legal precedent that if a copyright holder is seen looking the other way to others monetizing their IP in certain ways (like partnering with companies to produce mass-produced merch), copyright can become genericized. Whether or not this has affected indies of my size in the past, I'm not sure. Admittedly, I'm a little out of my depth with this question due to only having experience with the letter of these laws rather than practical experience.
So, I don't really have an answer for this question since I'm not a lawyer. if anyone out there has any legal resources that talk about case precedent in something like this, I'd happily declare a definitive stance! I certainly don't mind fans making money selling their own art ofc, I just also don't want to give a legitimate backdoor for bootleggers to legally undercut me + the artists on the DT production who make a living off my characters.
I will also say that I have been reading a lot of fan comments asking for stuff like acrylic keychains, posters, stickers, etc and I'm actually in the early stages of creating a permanent merch store of my own for this stuff since it would allow fans who can't afford the plushies (or missed previous campaigns) to snag merch of their favourite characters - and characters who won't be getting plushies for a while! This store'll likely be launching within a month of Mingus' campaign ending!
So, yeah. I really don't have any objection to fans making fan merch, it just gets more complicated when you involve companies into the mix. I certainly don't have a moral objection, I'd just be hesitant to outright approve of the practice in case it could cause issues later down the line. This is, to my knowledge, why Toby Fox has a similar stance. So, no personal objection to it but I'd have to speak to a lawyer to find out whether or not it's something I can officially approve of without there being weird legal consequences.

Humiliating Leviathan (Levi x reader)
My first try at some smut, so MINORS DO NOT INTERACT. And here are the warnings I could think of: Degradation, crying, masturbation, usage of underwear, usage of sex toys, going down on MC, two dicks (I gotta follow the common agreement that Levi has two dicks haha), snake tongue (again, common agreement), petting, praising
OKAY. I think that's it. Don't hesitate to tell me if I forgot something. I know all those warnings might make it seem hardcore but I promise it's actually quite a cute fic. Subby and pathetic Leviathan is the cutest. PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO LEAVE COMMENTS please please this is my first try at smut in the obey me fandom (if ever, actually) I would really appreciate the support.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
You knocked on his door three times. No answer. Knowing Leviathan he was either passed out in his bathtub after binge-watching an anime or playing games non-stop... Or he miraculously decided to go out somewhere. Probably to buy some merch from a limited-in-time store that has no official website from which Leviathan can order. Although he could definitely find some second-hand merch online he refused to do that. He would go on and on about how buying second-hand isn't supporting the franchise thus he MUST buy it directly from the source.
Seeing how there was still no answer you decided to go in. Usually his door had a spell on it that would send intruders into another random place in the devildom but he lifted that spell for you specifically. You were the only one who could enter at any time without any disturbance.
As you did so, there was no Leviathan in sight. Not in front of his gaming set-up, not in his bathtub, not passed out on the floor. So he's out, huh? You wonder why he didn't invite you or at least warn you that he'll be out today. Usually, especially if it's for a limited time anime café, you're always the first one invited. Well, you probably shouldn't pry but as you're about to step a foot outside his room... You stop. This is a pretty rare chance to look around his room without him pestering you.
It's not like you'll pry *too* much though. Just a bit, for curiosity's sake. (That was a lie you told yourself.) You inspect his figurines more closely. He's mostly into magical girl shows and moe blob shows. How cute of him. But you've always expected that he might have some secret sexy figurines as well. Or else why would he be so protective of some of the packages he orders from Akuzon? He's usually so unenthusiastic and slow when getting out of his room for breakfast or dinner and yet he rushes to the door when it's for a delivery.
After checking some of his drawers you find the fabrics and materials he uses for his cosplays. It's all mostly different hues of pink since he prefers cosplaying female characters- how cute. At one point you also accidentally come across his underwear in one of his drawers, it's all mostly black with some funky colors mixed in from time to time. He even has one of a limited edition HanaRuri-tan underwear collection.
And just as you think that you've struck gold... it's just some old stuff. Probably from some of his past obsessions. That includes precure dvds, aikatsu cards, manga magazines, et cetera. Again all cute shows mostly targeted to young audiences. Really, you can't see Leviathan as anything else than a completely adorable dork. People often don't get him for his specific tastes and hobby but all you see is a pure little guy who's still in touch with his inner child and who loves mostly light hearted shows. Surely anything he might hide won't probably be even THAT bad. Or even if it is... that's still cute in another way.
After looking in all of his drawers, no sign of any sexy figurine, of any sex toy or even erotic manga... This is way too suspicious. But then again Levi is smart, he probably wouldn't dare hide any of this stuff in his drawers knowing that Lucifer frequently comes to his room begging him to clean it, only to start off doing it by himself before Levi hurriedly joins him and kicks him out. If he had to hide something dirty where would he... ... You look under the bathtub. Nope. Too easy? Then...Reaching for his blanket and sheets inside the bathtub, you raise them, uncovering some sort of trapdoor?You slide it open and there's a huge box inside of it. If you had to guess, he used the same spell as the entrance of his room. Except this one always leads to the same space: the place where his hidden box is, wherever that is.
You pull it out, open it and there it is. Almost all of the stuff you had imagined him hiding was in here. Sexy figurines, erotic doujins, even some sex toys. Two in particular were bigger than the others. Fleshlights... But why two? Looking at it closer one's a smaller size and the other one is bigger. Did he get the size wrong the first time he ordered so now he has two of them? But more than that, there was something you really didn't expect to find here. A pair of panties. *Your* panties. You thought that maybe you had just forgotten it while moving back and forth between the devildom and human world but here they were, in Leviathan's precious box.
In some way this awakened something in you, a strange feeling of amusement while you realized that the cutest and purest guy you knew turned out to be a filthy underwear thief who most likely used it to jerk himself off.As you started to think that, a loud noise came from behind you. It sounded like some object had fallen to the floor- ah. Probably Levi who just came back and dropped his phone after realizing what you were looking at. Quickly, you wiped off the amused smile you had on your face before turning back to face him. You faked a look that was a mix of disappointment and worry.
"Levia-chan..."
The poor guy looked frightened, as if the sky had fallen on his head, as if his life was over. Even that pathetic part of him, you found it just so cute.
"Ah... ah... That- uh. I-"
Not even taking the time to close the door behind him, he dropped on his knees in front of you, lowering his head.
"I can explain! S-So please don't- please don't freak out o-or agh, I mean-"
His heart dropped when you walked past him. "It's over." He thought. The friendship you guys had built was done for. There's no way you would ever love him now or even want to look his way. There's no way a kind, beautiful, strong person like you would ever even spare him a glance. No way an amazing girl as pretty and genuine as you would give a second chance to a gross creepy piece of shit like him.
As the worst possible scenarios started to play in his head, he came back to his senses slightly as he understood that you had just closed the door in order to have more privacy in here. You slid his seat in front of him as he was still on his knees, sat down and crossed your legs, taking on a haughty tone. Almost commanding.
"So? You said you could explain but I don't really see what is possibly left to explain here. It all speaks for itself. All this filthy shit and even two fleshlights weren't enough to satisfy your dick so you just *had* to have a go on my underwear, huh? You slutty thief."
As you said that last bit you flicked his forehead that he was trying so very hard to keep fixated on the ground, but it was almost impossible anyway since you had your bare legs crossed right in front of his eyes. You know Levi loves it when you wear short skirts, it's hard for him to not look, even in a serious situation like this one.
"Agh. Well, uh. Ahh..."
After about twenty seconds during which he couldn't come up with anything plausible or even any attempt at an excuse he started to tear up. Completely lost, he lowered his forehead to the ground, bowing and apologizing profusely.
"I'm- I'm so *hngh* s-sorry *hic* please don't hate me. Y-You're right, I'm a pervert but please, I beg you for forgiveness *hic* at the very least please don't ignore mee- *hnghg*"
You felt chills down your spine. Was it horrible of you? While this little baby thought that his entire life was over just because you might hate him, you were just thinking how fucking cute he sounds when he's crying while genuinely in distress. You were feeling conflicted. One part of you wanted to pat his head and raise it, kiss his cheeks full of tears and caress his back while assuring him that you don't really find him that gross or creepy. In fact finding this dirty side of him made you giddy.
And yet, the other side of you wanted to play around with him a bit more before giving him ultimate bliss.
"Levi... Are you serious my darling?"
You gently pressed your heels on the back of his head as his forehead was still stuck to the ground.
"You really think such a lousy excuse will cut it? You know just how outright creepy this is, right? You went out of your way to steal underwear from me so you could rub it all over your dick and cum in it and yet all you have to say for yourself is just "I'm sorry, please don't hate me"? You'll have to do better than that."
Still sniffling, you could feel Levi taking a deep breath to calm himself down.
"Y-you're right. Crying about it won't solve anything. I know just how much of a disgusting lame little fuck I am, it's already a miracle how someone as beautiful and amazing as you even considered me your friend. I've been blessed a-and so honored to be called that. So please, please give me a second chance Y/N. I'll do anything, really."
You took your heel away from him. Full of expectations on what the two of you were about to do if you played your cards right.
"Anything? No way. That's just empty words."
"It's not! I'll really do anything. I'll even be your b- um. B-Bitch if I have to."
You command him to raise his head up, he does. His eyes and cheeks are still wet from the tears he just shed and his face is all red from embarrassment.
"A bitch, really? So you'll even accept corporal punishment? If I tell you to lay down on your stomach on my lap, you'll do it? You'll let me spank you?"
For a split second you see it his eyes, this little fucker really feels like he'll get a kick out of this. "It's not a punishment at all!" He must be thinking. He would love to be treated so poorly by you. In fact, one of his occasional turn-ons was to imagine you degrading him, insulting how much of a perverted little shit he is.
"I- I'll do it. Anything you want to do to me, I'm fine with it so..."
You lightly tap on your thighs two times, telling him to get on. Obediently, he does... and immediately receives a slap on the ass.
"You're supposed to at least lower your pants idiot. Or else it won't even hurt that much."
"A-Ah, yes."
You saw it again. That glint in his eyes. He's excited and is just so barely managing to not display a shit eating grin on his face.
As soon as he does as you told him to, you spank him again. Harder this time. He lets out a little yelp. And as he does you grab his hair with your other hand to pull him up a bit and whisper into his ear.
"You think I didn't notice that? The corners of your mouth keep rising upwards you fucking pig."
Finally he completely gives up on the façade he is trying so hard to keep and lets out a huge unrestrained grin, the kind he has when you hug or kiss him on the cheek suddenly. Looking dumb and genuine, though this time it looks cuter as he's obviously enjoying the pain you're inflicting on him.
"Aaahh. I-I couldn't hide it after all, you're right Y/N. I'm a dirty fucking pig who even enjoys it when you're being mean to me. Bully me, hit me, spit on me. I don't care, if anything I love it. I'm so sorry for not even being able to be properly punished ahh I'm so so sorry~"
He says while not looking sorry at all. Pretending to ignore his stupid monologue you spank him again.
"Slut."
"Hnghh~"
He shudders and keeps grinning widely.
Only does he get a bit nervous when you decide to pull down his underwear.
"Ah- wait! ACk-"
You spanked him again, this time your hand made direct contact with his skin.
"Shut up you filthy bitch. Isn't that what you promised? You even said that you'll be my bitch so that's just what you are right now."
Rapidly the nervousness he had displayed a second ago dissipated.
"Ahhh~ y-yes, I'm your bitch. You can use me whoever you want, I'll even drink your spit if you ask me to ehehe- OW-"
"Quiet. Or- No. Actually, keep moaning. It's cute."
"Ehehe I'm sooo happy you said I'm cute Y/N."
"Master."
"Master~ ehehe..."
He was really digging this roleplay type of set-up you had invented. But while he thought you weren't performing and really wanted to punish him, you on the other hand were truly aware that this is all a sham from your part just to turn him on.
As you continued to spank him a couple more times, you noticed something odd. It wasn't that you felt poking against the side of your thighs since you had fully expected him to get a hard-on. It was that the poking sensation was double.
"... Levi, get up for a second."
"Um, w-wouldn't it be better to continue to punish me?"
Another slap made him yelp.
"Don't be difficult."
And so he did, and you finally realized why he owned two fleshlights. It wasn't that he had the size wrong and had to order a second one, it was that he has two dicks. One on top of another on his crotch, with a pair of balls for each. You can't help but wonder just how much more sperm he can produce than an average "person."
As you closely observe his two rods, Levi can't help but squirm under your gaze. Elated at the amount of attention and your focus on his private parts as his pants and underwear are now out of the way.
"It's weird isn't it? I'm so fucking gross that even my genitalia isn't normal. I'm impressed you can even look at it directly haha."
Silently, you keep staring. Utterly turned on by the many ways you could use this part of him when you'll inevitably fuck eachother. Seeing how you're keeping quiet, Levi keeps degrading himself, obviously wanting the same treatment from you.
"I mean what kind of weird monstruous fuck would have two dicks, right? S-So you can tell me, tell me just how fucking gross and creepy it is..."
He keeps smiling, his face flushed by the titillating humiliation he's feeling by having his cocks out in front of you, the girl he loves the most in the world. So you decide to humor him a bit.
"Hmm... So you constantly hide these? Is it why you always try to wear baggy pants? So people won't notice how much of a creepy fuck you are."
"Y-yeah haha. T-Tell me more..."
He's so docile and pathetic, you can't help but strive for more.
"No. That's enough. Even after a couple of seconds looking at it, it makes me sick of it. I'm bored. Won't you show me how you play with them when I'm not around?"
Leviathan's eyes light up at your suggestion. He can't believe a day would come when you or anyone for that matter would ask him to masturbate in front of them.
"R-Really? You wanna see that?"
"Well, you don't want me to be bored right? And you really reaaaally want my forgiveness for being a gross fuck."
Excited yet mortified, Leviathan takes two of the fleshlights and rummaging through the box, he finds some lube. You watch him start off by filling the two holes with lube, all while both of his dicks are still erect from earlier. You're honestly still amazed at how they look.
Just before Levi sticks his first cock into one of the fleshlights you get an idea.
"Wait a sec. Hand it over."
Obediently, he hands the sextoy over. You spit into it, your saliva mixing with the lube and you give it back.
"Here. Hopefully it'll enhance the experience?"
"Ah- S-shit! Had I known I wouldn't have used the lube at all..."
He looks down, disappointed but still ecstatic. He carefully places the tip of his shaft on the entrance of the toy and slowly starts pushing it in, his dick opening up the walls of the toy as he shudders from the sensation and your piercing gaze. He jerks himself off like that for a little while before you ask him if he's not going to play with his second shaft.
"Well... I can either use the other toy or... I can show you how I do it with your panties..." Seeing how silent you are he retracts his statement. "-JUUST kidding ahaha it's already gross enough to see me jerk myself off so disgustingly with a sex toy, n-no one would like to see their own clothing used like that..."
You smile, uncrossing your legs and leaning in.
"No, that's a good point. Show me how you've been using my underwear all this time you dirty fuck."
"A-ah! Yes... ahaha~"
Taking your panties carefully, he wraps it on his other dick and starts pumping it with his free hand. As he does, he starts explaining.
"A-at first, I would only sniff them but I couldn't resist the urge to use them like this. And now that I've used them too much your sweet smell has completely been overwritten by my disgusting stench so there's no use sniffing it anymore ehehe. That's so fucking creepy isn't? I-I'm such a creepy bastard."
There he goes again, degrading himself while expecting a follow up from you. But you give him none of that this time. Instead, you look at him with anticipation and give him a challenge.
"If you do a good job of putting on a show for me I'll let you go down on me."
The air surrounding him turned to a deep purple as he took on his demon form, his scaly tail wagging around like the one of a dog's. Then he started to pant like a pup as well, elated by your suggestion.
"Ah. Ahh. N-no way? Seriously?! I'll do it, I'll seriously do it. So please watch closely!"
All this time he was on his knees, but now he stood up, making sure you have a close look at his dicks. They were right there in front of your face and you had to hold yourself back from taking one of them into your mouth. He kept mumbling and stammering some intelligible stuff, but you're pretty sure it was something along the lines of "I'll do it" and "look at me."
As he was getting close to release, you could feel him lose himself in the pleasure as his knees looked like they were about to fold from the lack of strength he was putting into them. Probably not used to jerking off standing up, he most likely does it either sitting or lying down like most people. In an effort to keep him standing in front of you, you placed your hand on one of his knees then slowly brought it up, caressing his thighs.
"Do your best to stay standing~ I'll be disappointed if you fall."
"Ah! Yes, of course!"
A literal couple of seconds later, the fleshlight was leaking of his cum and your stolen panties were dripping with his seed. Not only was the quantity overkill but the texture and thickness of the liquid looked quite rich. It was like warm condensed milk. As if on instinct, you placed one of your hands under the dripping liquid, allowing a couple of droplets to land on the palm of your hand.
"Y-Y/N??"
You lick a droplet off, tasting it. Seeing you do that, Levi's knees finally give in and he falls to the ground again, looking at your lips and mouth closely while wagging his tail, overly fixated on how your mouth moves while your tongue is probably pressing those drops of *his* cum on the walls and ceiling of your mouth. Savoring it.
Despite it looking like condensed milk it tastes more like a nectar, sweet and unnaturally good. Is it a special characteristic for a demon's cum to taste sweet and good? Maybe it's to push each other to fall into lust... makes sense. Delicious cum would easily push demons or humans alike to fall deeper into the sin of lust.
"W-wah... I can't believe I just saw you do that. Am I in heaven? N-no that sort of erotic scene would never happen in heaven. Aha I'm so glad I'm a demon and that we're in the devildom..."
Satisfied, you open your legs and raise your skirt.
"It tasted pretty good, surprisingly. But I'm sorry to say mine probably won't taste as good as yours."
Levi crawls towards you like an obedient puppy. He closely looks at the small stain that had formed on your underwear due to his performance. He feels like one grateful and lucky bastard that you're allowing him to do that to you. Frozen for a bit by the sight, he drools slightly before snapping out of it and placing his hands on the side of your underwear. Sliding it down as the stain leaves a bead of your warm liquid behind. Levi looks at it stretch and break as he pulls the panties further down, up to your ankles. You get your feet out of them and kick them to the other side of the room, allowing yourself to open your legs better than if they had stayed around your ankles.
Placing your hand on his head, you gently push him towards you and pet his head.
"Will you start or are you too busy drooling?"
Not making himself be begged any further. He starts by so very gently kissing your clit, it's so soft that you can barely feel it. He wraps his hands around your thighs, preparing himself to eat you out. He's so adorable. As he sticks his tongue out you notice how he has the tongue of a snake. Not that you hadn't noticed before, he would try to hide it from you at first but when you told him that it was so unique and cool he wouldn't try to keep it away from you anymore, boldly opening his mouth when he would yawn or when he was complaining about something. Now there he was using his devious tongue on your sweet spot.
He was greedily tasting you, it made you wonder if you actually tasted as good as he was making it seem. Though you're pretty sure you don't have enchanted cum like demons do. He would sink his fingers into the soft skin of your thighs, feeling you up, probably wishing that you'll let him hump your thighs next if he does a good job at making you feel good. You start to mewl and as you do, you can feel his tongue double down on his efforts, desperate to make you feel better just so he can hear you whimper and cry out his name.
You look down, a bit overwhelmed at how good his tongue is at exploring your insides. You see him looking up at you expectantly, a happy glint in his eyes, full of love for you. It's funny how one moment he begs you to degrade him and the next he asks for praise with his shiny eyes. Appreciative of his efforts, you place one of your hands on his cheek, caressing it with your thumb.
"Good boy Levi."
He wags his tail and his eyes light up some more as he hardens his tongue, pushing it further than you thought he could. You let out another whimper, this time mixing in his name. And as you do, you realize how close you are to climax. You grab his horns and cross your legs around his head, trapping him in front of your pretty pussy. Not that he minds, in fact he wouldn't like it any other way. Feeling you come while you call out his name some more, he suckles on your juices, gladly letting it spread all over his tongue before swallowing it all.
As you let him go, he rests his head on your right thigh, his cheek against your bare skin. He keeps looking up at you in awe at how pretty your face looks just after you've come. He rubs his cheek against your thigh hoping to get your attention back at him.
"Did I do a good job? I can um, I can do other things as well~ Oh if the idea of taking me back as a friend immediately is too gross for you I can keep being your fucktoy for the time being ehehe..."
You smile at him kindly and scratch him under the chin. He wags his tail again and displays his signature wide grin. His laugh is so cute. As he did a good job you figure it's time to stop the charade and let him have a real go at you.
"I wasn't really mad at you by the way."
He lifts his head up from your thigh, eyes wide open.
"Huh?"
"I was just fucking with you, I'm not grossed out or anything. You're still my cute little Levia-chan."
You pat him on the head. His eyes well up in tears from relief.
"R-Really? You won't abandon me?"
"No baby, I just thought this was the perfect excuse to push you to do dirty stuff for me. You're not mad right?"
Leviathan jumps into your arms, crying.
"I'm so grateful that a perfect girl like you would choose *me* to make you feel good. H-Had you not forgiven me, I would even be okay with being your sex slave if you'd like to."
"Don't be stupid, I'll let you be my one and only boyfriend. What about that?"
Levi lets you go, then while still grabbing your shoulders he looks at you, his eyes full of hope.
"Really? You'd allow me? You would take a lame fuck like me as your boyfriend?"
You pull him back in, kissing him on the cheek, near the corner of his lips.
"Don't say that. You're my cute little baby boy. Everyone has an ugly and filthy side to them, but beyond that you're a sweet cutiepie who watches magical girl shows, sews cosplays and easily cries at any sad scene in an anime. I mean, look at me, I just tricked you into thinking that I find you gross and pushed you to jerk off then suck me off. Isn't that objectively pretty terrible of me?"
Levi stays silent for a while before you can feel his two dicks poking at your stomach and pussy.
"N-Now that I know you weren't mad, that was probably one of the best moments of my life."
"Perv."
You kiss him again.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Was initially planning on making them fuck at the end but it got too long. Though I'm not against making a part two if people like it ahah. AGAIN please don't hesitate to comment, I would love to read your thoughts!

September Sky Chapter Three, Part 3
The main clerk who worked at Suncloud was a creepy old perverted prick. Suncloud is one of the main corner stores in Riverwest. I think every resident shopped there at some point. Be it getting a cheap and unheard of energy drink, or a six pack of beer, or a pack of cigarettes. Everyone had stopped in at least once. And meeting the asshole that was the clerk was I guess part of the deal.
He acted better than everyone, and would literally openly show hate and disdain when you would pay or ask for a pack. It was has if we were just ants in his sick sad little world.
That is, unless you had a pair of tits on your chest and hips that shook when you walked. Then he would openly ogle and horribly sexually flirt with you. Didn't matter about looks, as long as there was T and A. At least he didn't discriminate, I guess. He made ever woman feel disgusting.
I slapped the pack against my hand as I stepped out and onto the concrete stairs leading down to the sidewalk. A few people hung around the door, smoking cigarettes, and smelling like weed. I always envied those who could smoke in public. It sets my paranoia off too much when I do. I smoked, just mostly in private or with one or two other people. I had eighth sitting in my dresser right now. Of course, it's been in that drawer for three weeks.
It was just a little after six and the sun was still up and still warm. A good night for a show. I started the short walk to Dimes. Not even a block. Out of all the bars I'd been to, Dimes was probably the best one. Of course, it was rarely open and ran more like a punk or rock and roll club.
I stood outside the door, with a small group, finishing off my cigarette. I recognized a few faces from other shows and nodded. Once I tossed my butt into the ashtray by the door, paid my five dollar cover charge and headed inside.
It wasn't really all that large of a place, but it didn't matter. A small stage took up most of one corner of the room. Any band with more than four members was going to be quite uncomfortable though. A few tables sat as far from the stage as possible. The merch table was set up over here as well. The bar sat maybe ten people. All were empty at the moment, but that would change. There seemed to a group of people, myself included, who just liked to go see local bands. You never know who you're seeing. You could see the next big rejected punk rock band before they ever even fully learned what songwriting was.
I took a stool and the bartender was on me right away. Later on, once the bands started playing he'd be put to work, but he would make a killing. That was one thing I had learned being around some of the punks in the city. Tipping was done right. Always tip, even with shitty service. Even more than.
"What can I get you?" He asked, the official hello for bartenders everywhere. His voice was quiet, kind of surprising really.
"High Life," I replied and looked around as he walked back to grab one. He came back, set the beer down and I just handed him my debit card. I went back to looking around. Seeing if maybe I recognized any faces. I didn't. This didn't bother me. I wouldn't have to talk then.
A band was setting up on the stage, making sound checks that sounded awful, until they got the mix right for the small venue. I took a drink of my beer before heading down a short hall. The bathroom stood with a line, most in it were probably waiting for a line. It wasn't uncommon for the bathrooms to be filled with cocaine through out the night.
Further down the hall was a door leading to a fenced off area out back. It was here that the gospel of Pall Mall was spoken. All of us bowing, kneeling to our great tobacco overlords.
There were a few other people, sitting on wooden benches, all of us chasing away fresh air with our toxic fumes. I said hello to a few faces, but most people that knew me knew I preferred to be alone. I knew some people, but never any groups, and I didn't really join in. I felt safer being on the outside. And I had never really fit in, so even that feeling doesn't bother me much anymore.
Another small group came out and took places around the benches. A steel table sat in the middle of them with three ashtrays built into it. Our makeshift prayer mat.

I took a recent trip to Little Tokyo in downtown LA to see what kinds of SxF stuff they had.
As expected, a lot of the "mom and pop" shops had a mix of official and unofficial merch, mostly keychains, pins, and other accessories.
The below plastic pouches were kinda unique.
These lenticular stickers seemed to be a popular item. There were a lot of amusing SxF ones, lol.
There was also a huge booth in the outside plaza that was selling tons of fan-made pins.
The main anime goods store in Little Tokyo, Anime Jungle, had a nice selection of official merch. For example, these travel stickers were really cool.
These reusable foldable bags were super cute too.
Pins! (lol, that Yuri pin makes him look like a really pleasant guy doesn't it?)
The Japanese bookstore Kinokuniya had this nice little SxF shelf.
After Little Tokyo, I stopped by my local mall to see if they had anything.
One store sold (unofficial) poster boards of various screenshots and key visuals.
Much to my surprise, the little Japan gifts store had a SxF gashapon machine!
And quite a random find were these Japanese card packs that each contained two cards with a nice metallic sheen to them. Decided to buy two since I wasn't sure what they were at first, lol.
And here's the haul I ended up with at the end of the day.
There was a noticeable lack of SxF figures at the many stores I visited, but that's to be expected since the series is still pretty new and doesn't have the massive merchandise presence some older series have, ESPECIALLY here in the US (Demon Slayer and My Hero Academia dominated all the stores). I know only a handful of official figures have been released as of now, so hopefully the shops will have more in stock next time I visit!

Alright it's plushy time!
Here's a photo of all of them together! The only one not here is a little keychain bulbasaur on my bag. It's hard to see all of them well here so let's take a closer look for introductions!
From left to right: Adventurer Pepe, Ardenweald Pepe, IJsbeer (literally ice bear), Danny, Donna, Donny. Apart from Ardenweald Pepe these all stay next my pillow at all times. I've had IJsbeer and the ducklings since I was barely a toddler!
Pokemon, part 1. The Hitmonlee with a Ditto face is called Chimken, the rest just go by there Pokemon names. The Meowth is a little fingerpuppet! All my pokemon plushies are a mix of official merch, stuff found at my local comic store, and older plushies I've had for a while and don't remember the origin of.
Pokemon, part 2. The bigger guys! The big Bulbasaur is called Squimnch. The Rayquaza is the oldest official pokeplush I have. The Celesteela is by far the most expensive plush I have in price, and it's also my tallest! I fricking love her! The Tepig has a fun gimmick where you can turn him inside out so it becomes a pokeball.
The remaining fun stuff! Left to right, top: Raven King, Copia, Asmund the plague doctor, Monji the dust cloud, Mothi the mothman
Bottom: Jerry the skull, Maantje the moon, Augustus Gustavus the Third aka Gus the snail, Pukkel the pimple, Nyangko the cat, Brian the brain, Reddi the robin.
Raven, Asmund and Mothi are all squishables, Reddi has a little sound thing in it that activates by squeezing her but it's loud so I never do. Gus, Nyangko and Monji are all from South Korea! Gus I got at the Coex aquarium. He was so ugly I loved it. Nyangko is actually meant to be a little wrist support thing for when you use the computer but I didn't like that feeling. Monji is special. Celesteela may have cost me the most in price but Monji was only available at a pop-up store in a mall just outside of Seoul for a short time and I happened to be there at the right time! He is technically the official mascot of the group Monsta X but they haben't really done much with that for the past few years.
Anyway that's all of my plushies! I rotate so I'm cuddling a different one every night ^^

had a dream that if enough day/night cycles have passed, hermit koco won’t let you power up again until you take a nap, because “all the speed and rings in the world won’t help if you’re too exhausted to use them”
then he watched over sonic as he slept through the night, chatting with any digitized friend who stopped by
…a guy could write a fic about that, you know.

can’t believe it’s canon that the games are just based off of the characters ‘real life’ adventures
guys this legit explains weird narrative discrepancies in each game, where different POVs don’t line up. they just interviewed different characters who told biased perspectives of events.

i now have a hc that sonic does have an apartment in station square but he basically never sleeps there, maybe once a month
he instead uses it as a storage shed for all of the merch people make of him
bc whats he gonna do, turn down a really cool mural the city made in his honor? no. hes gonna put that shit up in his living room. his friends call him egotistical but jokes on them, he looks cool as hell.
he also has
a freezer full of sonic popsicles. the fucked up ones. u know. (ty @sketchjii for reminding me these exist)
a fridge full of sports drinks with his face on the label. some officially sponsored, some knockoffs with 'socin the hengehog', who is a slightly lighter blue hedgehog. he thinks its hilarious
boxes upon boxes of frozen chili dogs, from every brand deal he's ever done who promised him a lifetime supply and are starting to sweat from making good on it
hoodies for humans that imitate his look (he loves the ones with fake ears and fake gloves. they look fucking hilarious on top of his own ears and gloves)
every variation of sonic plushie ever made. especially the deformed looking ones. the ugly ones are usually from knuckles. ("got you this. its like looking in a mirror right?" "hilarious.")
plushies of all his friends
a super sonic shower curtain from a then-6 year old tails to 'make him feel brave while taking a bath! :D'
giant fuzzy slippers that are meant to look like his shoes
his fridge door has drawings from charmy, cream, and some from tails when he was little(r)
hes got a bookcase with a bunch of books. some haunted. some not. a few scrapbooks mixed in, old textbooks tails read when he was a kid and was gonna toss out but has a lot of funny notes in the margins
he also has a trophy case to hold his many sonic & mario olympic games trophies
last i'll mention is he's even got a little eggman matryoshka doll that sits on his fridge. he just thinks its funny
if he ever dies young itll be a really fun museum exhibit. he gives one (1) apartment tour to some photographer who's way out of his depth but it's honestly kinda funny how nonchalant sonic is about all the merch of himself he collects

it seems boredom has taken over me due to the fact i have nothing to do but make up hcs of your universe reversal au, so here you go:
(im sorry if this is bothersome)
• if [y/n]'s va tries making a song cover of a romantic/love song with the character's voice, albedo would go overdrive and make an animatic centered around either: [y/n] x traveler or [y/n] x viewer (the other simps would also go crazy over both the cover and godly animatic ngl)
• childe would be the type to show and brag to his younger siblings about his genshin waifu/husbando/lover. teucer is usually his main listener, and he would feel prideful if teucer ever asks something about you out of curiosity or interest. definitely would go on a rant and word-vomit about how awesome and perfect you are.
• xiao's a famous and anonymous [y/n] x reader fanfic writer on tumblr/ao3/wattpad whose stories get very popular with the simps desperate for content
• zhongli bought a keychain displaying your chibi self from the official merch store. he keeps it dangling from his wallet's keychain holder (?) and is the prime reason why he remembers to actually bring his wallet sometimes. like, he's about to go outside to eat with a friend at mcdonald's or something; but he catches sight of your chibi self at the corner of his peripheral vision before he could so — and he's like: "oh hey it's my [y/n] keychain— oops, i also forgot my wallet again"
• venti would listen to [y/n] x listener videos on youtube. he might even go and commission someone for it (he might sometimes commission nsfw) (inspiration was taken from a past ask you received. thank you to the anon who gave me this idea).
• kaeya's a little shit in co-op and absolutely refuses to adjust/change his character (aka you). he's devoted to you and only you, even if your attacks aren't very effective on a particular boss/enemy (and even if said boss is immune to your attacks).
• though diluc isn't very involved with the fandom, he does occasionally look and scroll fanart of you (albedo's art usually). he may or may not have read and got hooked onto a [y/n] x reader fic (xiao's). he checks for updates once a week
• i hc that ganyu kind of has a hard time sleeping (she's overworked :(( ) since she usually pulls all-nighters, working on reports for her job. her body soon got used and adjusted to her terrible sleep schedule, so oftentimes during her day-offs; she has a hard time taking a well-deserved rest. sooooo, i think she listens to your theme song/voicelines (more specifically, the ones where you're all doting on the traveler or where you tell them to have a good night/rest). even better if your va has a relaxing song cover she could listen to and slowly fall asleep to. overall, GIVE THIS GIRL A BREAK.
-🐞
Okay, okay, ladybug anon I love you so much aldbaoakkw I love Universe Reversal brainrot so much and you're all so clever over it sksksksk
The VA thingy reminds me of either the ones Mihoyo made where Barbara or Amber interacts with the audience awww, or or they did a similar thing with Let The Wind Tell You collab with fanartists sodbksnso
I just imagined Childe bragging his imaginary waifu/husbando to a fuckin kid like a lonely degenerate omayghad
It's funny how if in this verse he is the top writer, it's divergent to the fact that @xiaowhore is the current top writer
THE ZHONGLI ONE IS THE ABSOLUTE CUTEST AND MOST ENDEARING TOO HFNBNF HE'S A GROWN MAN WITH AAN ANIME KEYCHAIN BUT THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM LOVE HIM TOO MUCH TO SHAME HIM
Venti VENTI would definitely be the type of person to buy Patreon subscription for those VA thingies and gives so much for their kofi account because they love it so much
I can definitely see Kaeya do this but but physical damage can do its work, and Kaeya can miraculously build (y/n) like 17k base attack, food buff, and then Bennett damage multiplier- he's a metaslave for his waifu/husbando
Diluc defo has an ao3 account that he keeps an absolute secret, but if you see his subscriptions, he has double digits of series and authors following
Ganyu bb :(( (Y/N)'s trailer music is much calmer than the demo so tnbee for example made a remix of it which has some of the nice dialogue mixed in, or someone made a 1 hour loop of the official stellar moment release. It's so effective that sometimes Ganyu really can't rest unless she's listening to it full blast.
Ah I love this, I love this all, this must be placed in both masterlists for everyone to see

The Smiler Shop TV Full Video - Alton Towers by ThemeParkCollective
Something a little different this Saturday, following the heavy Smiler theme this week -- I’ve linked to this video before, but I figured it was worth sharing officially too! This is the video that used to play in Buy The Smiler, the coaster’s official merch store, and I consider it just the right mix of funny and creepy. XD There’s some flashing and glitching, but nothing too major. Also, bonus -- as I’ve said before, the couple here were my inspirations for Matthew and Carol Alton in my AUs! So yeah, say hello to my Smiler’s parents. :P
#song saturday#the smiler#smiler shop TV#smiler alton#(or their parents at any rate)#yeah I probably find this video more amusing than I should#it's just#they're so over the top XD#I just love that line about rural Lithuania#yes the Altons in my world DID go there on a family vacation!#I think Matthew and Carol liked it a bit more than Smiler who missed their tech#great views though#of course the video makes me want Smiler merch#which is a bit harder to get when you're an American#maybe one day#with some hunting and figuring out international shipping costs#queued

Peter was still feeling the last song running through his body like electricity -- crackling, zapping, burning oh, so good. He took a deep breath that caught and echoed in a loud huff over the microphone, catching the towel Naseem tossed at him.
“Whoo! Oh, shit, y’all!” He giggled, pressing the towel to his face and collarbone, and taking undignified wipes under his armpits. He could feel the hair and his shirt still sticking to him, but the quick cleaning would have to do. He glanced over his shoulders, smiling at the backup vocals, and Tommy chugging a bottle of water at the mix board. Naseem came up at his side, also wiping the sweat from his face and neck. “I think my crew here needs a little break. While they catch their breath, how about a little snippet from my new podcast series, yeah?”
The crowd cheered; of course, they would, as just under half of the crowd here wore some sort of Radio Kings merch, either official trilbies and jackets, or someone’s fanart from some independent store. Of course, they cheered, as Peter crouched to pick up the packets laid discreetly downstage, hidden behind one of the speakers, handing one copy to Naseem and another to Mike. It was only three pages, enough into the first episode of If You’re So Smart, to let long-time fans of R.K. dip their toes into something new.
Peter took a sip of water to prepare his throat, when someone shouted from one of the balconies,
“I LOVE YOU, ATTROSSITTY!”
Peter almost choked on the water-chuckle mixture, capping the bottle and clearing his throat. “You don’t even knooooow meeeee~!” He sang into the mic, and beamed at the waves of laughter that filled the concert hall.

With the Sailor Moon Eternal movies now out in Japan, I’m also coming upon my personal 25 year anniversary of being in the fandom. With that many years comes a lot of memories, and I thought it’d be fun to showcase some of the most meaningful Sailor Moon items I have to reflect on all these years of being a moonie. I’ve picked 3 items from my Sailor Moon collection that have the most personal and sentimental meaning for me, and have included a little description and backstory for them.
If you’d also like to share your top 3 personal Sailor Moon items and your connection to them, please use the hashtag, #mysailormoontreasures
All categories of items are welcome, whether they be official, bootleg, fan-made, etc., and the more localized the item, the better. What’s important is their meaning to you and your journey as a Sailor Moon fan.
And with that said, here’s a little bit about my top 3!
#1) Daran’s Taiwanese edition of the Sailor Moon vol. 15 manga
As far as I could remember, this was my very first piece of Sailor Moon printed merchandise, if not THE first merch I ever owned, and was originally published in 1996. I remember I had to beg my parents to let me buy it, and it’s been with me on countless trips and been read a million times (the yellowed pages and worn spine are a testament to that). This book was also what made me a die-hard Dream arc fan as the mix of romance and art just spoke to me as a pre-teen, and I’ve loved it ever since.
#2) Anime Comic World’s Hong Kong edition of the Sailor Moon SuperS animanga
This is one of the books from a series of animanga volumes published by Nakayoshi. The ones I have were localized by a Hong Kong publisher so the texts are in Chinese. This set is special to me because that was how my best friend and I met. During junior high she brought one of these to school and I happened to see it. Already a giant Dream arc/SuperS nerd, I immediately asked her if I could see them, and then asked if I could buy them off of her (though I’m pretty sure that was in two different conversations). Suffice to say, she was taken aback by my forthrightness, but we struck up a friendship that’s now almost as long lasting as my time in the Sailor Moon fandom. ☺️
#3) Sailor Moon Materials Collection artbook
While the other two sets of books hold a lot of sentimental value, this artbook is probably, as a collectable, the most expensive item in my collection (I’m also not showing any inside pictures since the whole book has been scanned and is available for viewing online). I bought mine some time in the very early 2000′s, and even though the price tag on the back says “Kinokuniya”, I clearly remember buying it from a local mom-n-pop anime store and not at the Japanese bookstore chain. But besides its monetary value, it’s invaluable as a source of reference for my doujinshi drawing endeavors. Need to know what color prototype Sailor Moon’s cap was? Check the Materials Collection. Who’s the eldest amongst the Amazon Quartet? Check the Materials Collection.

# — MATCHUP REQUEST
for: she/her, bi, infj-t, scorpio, yachi kinnie
note: sorry nonnie i went BONKERS in this matchup. i hope,,,, it fits ur taste gkdjdh
I matched you with...
Tendou Satori!
had actually met you at a merch store, specifically when you were struggling to reach for a poster that was unnecessarily placed on a high shelf
tendou peeked from behind you. “need any help?” you’re surprised you didn’t jump from the sudden intrusion
“yes... please,” you sighed defeatedly. “oh — i only need one.”
he takes two, giving you one while he kept the other. turns out he also had interest in the anime you liked !
somehow, tendou wounded up to be your “anime buddy.” he’d go out with you to the merch store for new releases, giggling a little at the sight of you tippy toeing before finally going to help you
other times it’d be late night calls or texts about the release of a new episodes
until, “anime bonding” became movie night dates at each others houses
“my place at 5?” tendou spoke over the phone, pushing the shopping cart as he walked through the snack aisle
“will there be snacks? i’m not going if there’s none,” you teased him. a small giggle could be heard on the other side of the line, followed by the sound of plastic bag
“hm... you’re only there for the snacks, huh?” tendou quipped
this gradually turned into something more; you hadn’t meant to fall asleep on his shoulders, during a movie night at his house might i add
but you did, and after lots of debate, tendou decided to let you sleep for the night
he huffed a soft laugh, pulled away some stray strands of hair away from your close-lidded eyes. “cute,” and it was the first time he had said it out loud
from strangers to anime buddies, tendou had become your boyfriend after much time <3
he introduced you to ushijima a little after the two of you became official — and surprise, tendou seemingly talks so much about you
“ah, it’s finally nice to meet you,” ushijima smiled warmly, nodding his head a little as a form of greeting. “tendou has been telling me about you for quite a while now.”
PLEASE why does it seem like you’re meeting tendous parents or something😫😭
tendou is aware of your conditions, and had asked a lot of questions when you told him you had adhd, depression, and anxiety
“what is it like?” “do you take medications?” and “is there anything i can do, or you’d like me to do?”
he really wants to make sure your boundaries and access needs are met :’)
so if you’re having trouble socializing or in a situation with other people around, he won’t hesitate to take lead
“wanna leave soon?” he whispered to you, reaching for your hands with his own hold of comfort
tendou also loves that you can do the same for him
like that time when the two of you volunteered at a day care. one of the little kids was afraid of tendou because of his looks, but you made an effort to coax them into getting comfy with your partner
“see? isn’t he cute? his red hair is like strawberry,” to which the little boy, now hugging tendou by his neck, agreed. “yeah!”
goodness the amount of love and warmth he felt at that moment🥺
when you’re not out volunteering with tendou, the two of you are either at home cuddling, playing genshin, doing hobbies, OR
outside visiting local and cultural museums
tendou likes sneaking up on you when you’re busy sketching and making digital art. most likely with a little peck on your check or a snack in hand
“princess,” he dragged the name, “take a break soon, mk?”
and if you ignored him, he’d simply plant a dozen kisses on your neck and cheek
there will be nights where tendou will patiently wait for you on the bed. he’d be reading manga to pass the time, waiting for the moment when you’ll plop onto him with a big hug
and when you do, he’s putty in your hands
“satori — !” you nearly jumped on him, ducking beneath the manga he was holding and embracing his neck. “hm... i missed you.”
he laughed softly. “you’re such a baby, you know that?”
“says you!” you retorted back
the manga is set on his nightstand to free his arms so he could hug you back. “baby,” he mumbles again, this time calling for your attention
“hm?”
“i love you,” it slips off his mouth without a thought, a form of sincerity he keeps reserved
tendou has the need to say i love you a lot, especially during a moment that feels endearing
like when you’re busy mixing batter
you felt a pair of warm lips again the nape of your neck, tendous big arms embracing you
“love? what are you baking this time?”
and you’d turn your head to the side only to find him peeking at you with the cute :3 expression🥺🤲
goodness, he loves your baking so much
tendou always returns the favor by bringing you his own set of chocolates — made and tailored just for you
FUTURE
your future with tendou would be very spontaneous, full of adventure, but not so much that you’re both still able to pursue your dreams
tendou would become a chocolatier, while you a diplomat
sometimes matching each other’s schedules is hard, but every once in a while the two of you are able to set vacation at the same time
“where to this time?” he spoke. tendou was currently sitting behind you, legs around your figure and arms on your torso.
pspsps the two of you get a PET SNAKE
he loves them so much please😫
tendou calls the two of you “snake parents” and now has another topic to rant about to ushijima
“snake parents?” you could hear ushijima’s confusion from your lovers phone speaker. “sorry, i don’t understand.”
AHH HE TAKES THIS PET PARENTING VERY SERIOUSLY
so when you’re off somewhere far for vacation, tendou stresses that you have the best snake babysitter <3
he’d probably love to explore other parts of asia with you and learn about their cultures as well
“no, no — ” tendou said, moving his camera to get the right angles for you
meanwhile, you were stuck on a silly pose underneath the scorching sun, trying to get the perfect shot of you ‘holding’ a statue
“yeah, just a little higher, petal. there —!”
back home, there’d be a world map hung up somewhere with tacks stuck in the places the two of you have visited together
and polaroid pictures all over the map :’)
“i want to grow old with you,” tendou said one day when the two of you went out to watch the sunrise. “if you’ll let me?”
*tendou’s such a best man please,, imagine being the one to get to see his hair down everyday and be able to wear his hoodies which smells like vanilla and cocoa beans, and a hint of caramel. tiniest bit of a wooden/forest scent if you smell hard enough

Top 10 Niche Interests
Fixations? Obsessions? This is incredibly hard because I have wayyyy too many niche interests, so instead of stressing about it, I tried to channel the 10 things that immediately speak to me and maybe aren't so obvious from what I post here, like how much I'm obsessed with wigs, doll furniture, incredibly specific blogs, all forms of clothing with pockets, swimming pools, whimsical bus stops, over-the-top bathrooms, etc. etc Instead, I opted for some specifics that feel a little more evergreen and long tailed, like, so LIFE-long tailed that it's tough to nail down when or how they became part of the national psyche. I thank @alienfuckeronmain for the initial tag, and I'm tagging her AGAIN for round two because I know she has a billion additional niche things, and she'll post them, and I'll scream because it'll trigger five other things I neglected to post here, and I'll probably post my own round two, arggggh, insert aggressive sighing. Anyway, I tag ANYONE who wants to do it, just tag me so I can see!
1. Indoor Trees
I have no idea why this concept PULLS so hard because houseplants are kind of meh to me, but you want to plant an entire-ass TREE indoors, in the place where you live? Me, too, and I'd add a conversation pit plus a combo gold/red bathroom, among other things, and, bam, we're in my imaginary dream home, which I have literally, constantly ALWAYS mentally constructed from the time I was about six or so. (If you're curious, it has multiple themed rooms, and the closest I've seen to it recently is the outstanding Dita von Teese AD feature, but Amy Sedaris’s apartment comes close, too). There are two (2) 1960s houses in Long Beach with magnificent indoor trees, but I can't find them online, so have this modern interpretation and cry with me about how I can't visit the multi-story fake tree inside Clifton's Cafeteria for a good long while:
2. Conventions of Fans of Any Kind
One thing that I don't think I'll ever lose is how much I *love* people who are fans of SOMETHING, people who have a passion and create something about it or cosplay it or simply gather to celebrate it and connect to other people through it. The Internet provides in all kinds of ways, but I'm talking specifically about IRL conventions and the way my heart pitter pats when I first walk in those doors, SWOON! And it doesn’t matter how big the convention is or how random, I've been to smaller events like CatCon and the My Little Pony convention all the way up to biggies like WonderCon and Comic Con, and I have yet to be disappointed. I might know jack shit about what I'm walking into, but I want to see the merch, hear about the panels, and check out the people who are fucking PUMPED to be there. Sadly, I think it's gonna be a lonnnnng time until these come back, but I can live vicariously through my old photos, sigh:
3. Dutch Wax Fabrics and African Fashion
I'm not the snazziest of dressers, but textiles, colors, and patterns have been an obsession that has soothed my visual soul for as long as I can literally remember. Wax fabric marries all three of those touchpoints, plus throws in a healthy dose of style, and I count myself lucky to have seen two big exhibits on the subject (this was one of them), oh, how I wish there were more! For sure, there's a fucked up underlying colonial/imperialist history here, but there's also humor and color and vibrancy, a reclamation of sorts, and multiple levels of fashion that take my breath away. I cannot do the different patterns justice at all, but the fan motif is one of my faves:
4. Hearst Castle vs. Madonna inn
These two fall into my #home tag because they're where I'm from, and they speak to me as equally sublime and ridiculous, camp and kitsch writ large and small, different (yet similar!) versions of Xanadu that two rich white men built as shrines to their own personal "taste." And the irony is that a lot of people shit on Alex Madonna for being tacky (the Madonna Inn is...uh, something else), yet praise WR Hearst for all the high-class art and architecture, most of which is fully lifted from desperate churches between and after world and yet they're both more or less the same concept (lodging for weary travelers, self-aggrandizement, questionable taste-mixing). Hearst Castle edges out slightly for me because it's bigger and has spectacular scenery and history, plus it gives me doses of LA noir thanks to the way Hearst killed a guy in a jealous Charlie Chaplin-related rage and Hedda Hopper covered it up, all kinds of old Hollywood shenanigans happened up there, etc. But I'm low-key an expert on both houses of the holy, I'm OBSESSED with both, and we can leave it at that. I mean, come on:
5. Snow Globes
I had to cull my personal collection slightly just to fit it all on the dedicated shelf in my bathroom, and I seriously need to refill all the water lines, but nothing beats a snow globe in terms of memorable souvenir, especially when you put it in a bathroom. The majesty!!! The jewel of my collection is the one from Sherwood Forest because WHY NOT celebrate a historic place and moment in the basic way?? He robbed from the rich to give to the poor, and the gift shop about 100 feet from the tree he hid in does the same! The circle of life! The irony of all the watermarks on this blessed image...protect:
6. Highly Specific Museums
Look, we can all agree that the more venerated museums in the world are a form of garbage in terms of what they represent, what they've done, and who runs them, but I'm here for the museums that collect and celebrate things that tend to get overlooked. There are too many to list that I love that are still thriving, so I'm going to say goodbye to four recently departed faves. RIP to the Pez museum, I'm so glad I saw you and purchased your stale candy souvenirs. RIP to the museum of terrible food, you were a pop up when Phoenix and I saw you, and I will forever think about the worker describing people literally vomiting during their visits. RIP to the currywurst museum in Berlin, I've had currywurst exactly once and it was not for me, but I respect the Journey you took me on, including obscure east German TV shows that helped make you so popular (??). Finally, RIP to the velvet painting museum, there's no way to mince words, the person who owned you was crazy AS FUCK and had zero clue how to run a business, but I'm so glad I saw you multiple times and purchased my own velvet treasure (not this exact one, but remarkably similar):
7. Liminal Spaces: Grocery Store Edition
Confession time for those who don't know me all that well, I'm a big time voyeur, and nothing fills my heart with joy like a walk at 7 or 8 pm, the witching hour when people haven't pulled the curtains, and I can scope out their decorations/furnishings without it being "weird." Another confession is how much I unabashedly adore grocery stores in other countries and will spend at least an hour wandering aisle by aisle, falling in love with how much everything is different yet completely the same:
8. Agatha Christie Novels:
As a child, I was a fairly compliant reader--I had to read something for school? Okay! For my mom? Sounds good! But the books that sparked the initial fire for me to read something purely for myself were second-hand (probably fourth- or fifth-hand, judging by cover art) Agatha Christie short story anthologies, which were the gateway drug to full Agatha Christie novels, then other mystery novels, and so on. But getting back to Agatha, I obviously loved all the stories, but every decade spawned incredibly good cover art (like, exceptionally good), and this particular artist's are right up near the top for me (I go back and forth on a lot of the '50s and '60s ones):
9. Scopitones
I link my obsession with scopitones both to my love of music videos in general and a shop in Austin, TX, that sold DVD compilations of them in particular, but either way, they're underappreciated and kitschy all in one! Francoise Hardy and the rest of the ye-ye's are my forever girls for this medium, but seemingly every country cranked them out, both actual set videos and "live" performances? If you don't know what they are, scopitones were machines that played music videos in French cafes in the '60s (??), so it was sort of your proto-MTV way to see your faves sing and dance. Oh, Francoise...so moderne!!
10. Cover Songs
I have so much patience and love for cover songs of any stripe, the more genre-bending and/or surprising, the better! My only minor beef is the trend in slooooooooowing down songs to make a point, but even those ones have a special place in my heart if they're effective. Live Lounge feeds my hunger the best, but my meta fave for representing this concept is Pulp's Bad Cover Version, which was already lyrically INSPIRED, a song about bad cover versions in terms of relationships, but then they did a video that was a visual "bad" cover version, with actors lip synching over an audio "bad" cover version, and all of it just worked? The cover for the single is someone in the band as a boy, making his own bad cover version of a Bowie album cover, it's meta meta meta, and I love love love, here's the video, if you're curious. In the more sublime cover category, I'm absolutely addicted to all of Orville Peck's covers, I truly hope he officially releases them sometime soon, but I wholeheartedly support any artist who does it:

So, my family and I are planning a tour across the states visiting the most famous hero cities (once the Coronavirus passes, of course). Do you know of any tourist destinations in Gotham that had to do with Batman or the Batfamily in general? Is there a place where a famous fight happened or a museum of sorts?
(G very texted me very excitedly when we got this ask so I’m going to let him take it, but I hope you and your family have fun on the trip and that you stay safe and healthy in the meantime dude! -W)
My time has come!
We have a whole post about food in Gotham that you can find here, but there’s so much more!
We don’t technically have any “official” museums for hero fans, because NJ still classifies them as law breaking vigilantes, but there are some really cool local businesses that fill that hole.
Bat City- A family run place that showcases tools, costumes, and history all centered around the Batfamily. While the costumes are all replicas (high quality and based off picture and video), all their gadgets are real life ones that have been brought in by citizens or found by the family themselves. It’s a great place to go to learn about our heroes and the impact they’ve had on our city over the last 25 years, and everyone’s super nice! W took me there when I was starting out with this blog and it taught me so much. My favorite part was probably the batarang wall, because you can see how the design has changed over the years, tracking all the way back to the earliest found model from 1995.
The Rogues Gallery- The title is a pun, actually, because this is a community run art museum where people can submit works depicting Gotham’s heroes and villains. There’s some reeeaally cool stuff here, and it’s a good place to go if you want to browse and see some beautiful art. They accept everything from digital to paint to sculptures and you can sign up for art shows or put your stuff up for auction through their website. I haven’t been much but it’s always cool.
The Eastside Bomb Museum- We actually have a few of these, but this is the only one that’s technically… legal. It has models of explosives used in some of the most famous fights/heists in the city’s history, including puzzle traps from when Riddler trapped the GCPD in their HQ, a bunch of laughing gas ones from various Joker crimes, etc. It’s not my type of place but it does have a lot of scientific and historical info about the events surrounding each bomb. Of course none of them are real or functional, which is why it’s allowed, but if you want something more authentic it shouldn’t be… too hard to find. Don’t know if that’s what you’re looking for though.
Sirons General Store & Pharmacy- Please go here. Oh my god. It’s this teeny tiny shop next to a Safeway on 31st st. and it’s so good. You walk in and on one side there are stickers, socks, posters, and flowers, and on the other miniature building replicas, wigs spinning from the ceiling, masks, action figures, and ceramic tea pots. It also has like, candy and drinks and books, and if you go to the back it has a pharmacy counter. The whole building is an eclectic mix of what the fuck and it’s almost completely Bat and Rogue themed, with the most random exceptions. ALSO IT’S THE ONE PLACE THAT HAS ACTUAL GREY GHOST MERCH AND I’M SO HAPPY ABOUT THAT.
As far as other activities:
GCPD Tours- If you want to see how our law enforcement wants you to see them works, you can sign up for a tour of GCPD HQ where you get to meet detectives, the commissioner, and more while they talk about the changes the police force has gone through over the years. If you sign up for the higher class tours you can even get a ride in a police blimp!
Foot Tour- If you want to go on a stroll and see the sights, I’d recommend the audio tour from gothamcitygargoyles.com. It’s an official site that has a catalogue of every gargoyle in Gotham and their city assigned names. It’s updated every now and then when a new building is put up, because yes, the city still puts gargoyles on everything and they’re wonderful. The tour takes you by each one and peppers in little facts about their history and area. Personally my favorite is the one outside my window, his name is Bartholemew and he was added in 1854.
Fansites!- I’ve listed a lot of places I know because I live here, but if you’re a real batfamily stan, check some of the official fansites for past fight locations or places I might’ve missed.
Just a heads up, if you’re planning on staying here for more than a week I’d definitely recommend picking up some masks and antivenom packs from a local store. Look for stuff with the Wayne Enterprises logo so you know you aren’t getting some bootleg crap, and pay attention to the news! That way you can keep yourselves safe if we end up having a villain attack.
If you have any more questions for your trip I’d be happy to answer them, but in the meantime stay safe!
-G
