hello, do you know if OX is okay with people selling fanart? Like imagine if I drew something with tianshan and i printed some stickers and sold them. Idk if OX said something about stuff like this.

It wouldn’t be a copy of the art style or drawings, it would be with my style and stuff and nothing mass produced, only small things.

Disclaimer: These are just my opinions and words from my observations and knowledge. These do not represent Old Xian, Moss or Mosspaca in any shape or form.

Hello! Moss said years ago when 19 Days was just in its infancy that non-profit works are allowed. Non-profit from my understanding is even if money is made, the money made from the work will just go back as the money used to make the work.

Despite these words, I still see a lot of people/companies who sell merchandise on websites, stealing from 19 Days fan artists or directly using Old Xian’s art on fake merchandise and profiting off them.

I don’t think Old Xian has directly said anything about these things, and I think they also consult Moss for these kinds of matters. So Moss’ announcements are Old Xian’s (and Tan Jiu’s) also.

I saw Old Xian enjoying fanmade things sent by fans, so I don’t think they don’t like fanwork per se. But profiting off of copyrighted material is another matter, and lots of officials usually turn a blind eye on these things to let fans form a community and enjoy the source material by themselves, as long as it doesn’t directly affect their reputation, profits etc. Genshin Impact has recently made an announcement on this type of fanmade merchandise and gave rules so that fans can feel safe making fanmerch.

I don’t know if Old Xian or Moss will ever make these sorts of announcements, since there are some abusers as mentioned earlier. If they make an announcement, it means they have to take action each time they see infringement.

Small fanmade merch might be harmless, I love seeing them too, but since we are not the copyright holders, we have no say.

If Old Xian or Moss one day announces to stop these merchandise selling, fans should be ready to seize all production.

A lot of Japanese fans sell merch and doujinshi of course, there are just unspoken rules in the fandoms, such as never selling merch that the officials might also sell, don’t let officials see what you’re doing which will drive them up against a wall where they have to make an ultimatum, be ready to delete all your works if one day officials tell you to stop, never sell merch that can be mistaken as official merch like a copy of tsum tsum or mochi mascot etc. (You can enjoy some custom mochis personally or make them for yourself or between friends, but never sell them because it might cause misunderstandings, etc.)

Some officials are just kind and letting small harmless fun be, but we just need to act appropriately, in a way that acknowledges we are not the copyright owners of 19 Days and its characters, and not abuse Old Xian/Moss’ kindness. 🥺 They already allow non-profit. Just no creating of money-making business from it.

So I can’t tell you it’s okay, because I don’t know how some people sell merch. Or what range is okay with Mosspaca. I know you told me it won’t be mass produced 🥺 I think that’s a good start, but just keep it in mind 🥺 The only thing Moss said okay from my knowledge is non-profit. 🥺 Anything outside of that has not been acknowledged officially. So just that 🥺 I know fans will do as they please, and officials won’t police everything, but if you want to know yes or no, that’s what Moss said before 🙏

Cutie Reviews: Doki Doki Oct 17

Okay cuties, this is my final October review. Thank goodness because I’m still really behind. It’s going on December and I didn’t even cover my November reviews yet.

I’m still sick btw. I wanted to have this done days ago but a “pet issue“ came up that distracted us around Friday and Saturday, then on Sunday I got a “surprise day trip away from the house”. We went to the zoo, which was a lot of fun but I feel like it extended my illness considering it was about 40 degrees out and I’ve been coughing a lot more. Now as its Tuesday I might have strep throat- but good news, we found medication that has really helped me (and puts me to sleep for like 9 hour intervals) so I’m good to go!

The zoo was also a lot of fun :3 I’ve always been in LOVE with animals and took a lot of pictures.

Like last year, we’re treated to a HALLOWEEN themed box (Also officially titled “Creepy Cuties” ♥). If you would like to see how it compared to last years, you can visit my review of that crate:

https://cutiecrates.tumblr.com/post/155716993687/review-doki-doki-oct-2016-box-11

Just a word of precaution though- my reviews were very new at the time so I wasn’t very good at it... I’m not saying I am now, but I can see improvement.

Also, like last year we are treated to art by one of my favorites: Tokimekiwaku, who makes the yandere themed visual novel series I’m a big fan of, Liar Liar.

Now before I officially start with the review I wanted to show everyone the special themed boxes they gave us:

I’m pretty sure this wasn’t done with last years crate, so I really like this touch of Halloween themed designing. I hope we get one for Christmas too~

Now, because I forgot to take pictures of it I’ll quickly cover the Suteki Crate items. I know I’ve been forgetting them as of late and I have no idea why.

In this months crate, we could get: a Maple Leaf Hello Kitty plush, Cardcaptor Sakura life sized wand, Jiji plush and carrier from Kiki’s delivery service to match the included Kiki headband, a Mochi-style pumpkin plush, a My Melody lantern, New Nintendo 2DS XL with Kingdom Hearts 3D, and a Spirited Away music box.

I’m already predicting that by the end of this review, I will have favored this crate to last years. I was in love with quite a few items from it, but I’m excited to compare the two~

First we get some of these adorable and fun Sanrio Gift Bags. You get 8 in total and each feature the same, colorful mascots donning their Halloween best on clear pouch-sized bags. You can use them for yourself or use them to show someone a little Halloween spirit, and they could also work as a last-minute emergency pack if you’re in a hurry or run out of normal food storage packs.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I didn’t end up using these for Halloween. My plans of getting a bunch of “fun“ things to give away didn’t happen this year so we only gave away a piece or two of candy each, nor did I have anyone special to use them on. For now i’ll be hanging on to them, but I’m in love with the fact that A: They’re practical, and B: they’re SANRIO, these are the perfect additions for a cutie kitchen!

Speaking of we also got these Doki Doki Halloween Mugs featuring Tomomi and Nuki ♥

For a while I wasn’t too excited with the original Doki Doki items we were getting, I mean I like them, but at the same time we were promised apparel and fun accessories and it felt like we weren’t getting that in comparison to what we got last year.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

While I’m not the type who uses a mug ALL the time, I do use them for DIY, crafts, and when I’m sick like now...

I also LOVE how cute the design it :D it’s perfect for Halloween or any time of the year! I love the pop of color on the design, and the mischievous but cutesy styling to create a precious, unique piece for the Doki Doki branding.

The cute accessories keep on coming~

We also got a pair of these one-size fits all Tsum Tsum Socks, available in 9 different designs x3 considering I’m obsessed with Minnie I’m happy to have gotten this one. But there is irony here, I already have a pair of socks that look exactly like these- minus the tsum tsum.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

The socks are ultra-soft and comfortable. I’ve worn them a few times already and I’m in love with how cute they look paired with my strappy shoes. They end directly beneath the ankle- something that would have bugged me to no end as a child. For some reason I HATED socks like that.

However, I do have my concerns with the socks. It’s a little bit silly, but I’m actually worried about snagging issues because of how soft they are. As stupid as this is going to sound, I’m also bothered by the discolored spots.

I’m weird like that I know. But their paws should be Black or White, not skin-tone.

We also got this kawaii Rabbit Ragdoll Keychain. The perfect spoopy accessory for costumes, cuddling, or to give your own doll a buddy:

I’m not sure what I’ll name her just yet, Patches feels a little cliche.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Now in comparison to the 2-types of plush items we got last year this one falls a tiny-bit flat. I don’t feel any sort of spookiness to it- however, I’m also a sucker for ragdolls and things inspired by them so I still really like it ♥ I know Yoko got attached to it fairly quick.

Next is our monthly Hoppe-Chan, who once again decks herself out in fun, colorful Halloween charms. She was available in orange or purple with 3 different designs, each with a pumpkin, bat, or witches hat ornament. You can probably tell which one I got right?

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥

I wish I got/saw what the bat one looked like, I love bats :D but the reason I’m rating this one a bit lowly is because I think I actually prefer last years to this one. While I like this ones colors... it looks like a cheap knock-off to the previous one. As a stand-alone Hoppe-chan I like it enough, and I love the idea of them introducing alternate style/color varieties lately, but when you compare to the two I feel like last years was superior.

We’re approaching our final few items now, and they go together wonderfully!

First we get some Cat Paws, which as an avid cat-lover I entirely approve of ♥ I always wanted a pair of realistic cat paws gloves so I was beyond happy to pull these out x3 I wore them for Halloween and paired them with the next item we got.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

They’re soft and thick, very plush with details and molding around the paws to create an almost realistic paw.

The only real issue is that they are a bit impractical, sadly. My fingernails were so crammed up in them they were kind of bent and a little sore. Not only that but the way the hand is shifted in there could be uncomfortable to some, and you can’t do very much with them on. But that’s kind of a given, isn’t it?

Ultimately I love them, but they might not be for everyone...

See, these are the purrrfect accessories for the kitty paws- or on a day you feel like being a cat ♥

Which is pretty much every day for me~

These are adorable, realistically proportioned Neko Mimi/Cat Ears. Featuring a black color scheme and pink undertones, a bell on each ear, and a ribbon.

But once again there is some irony.

I JUST bought a pair of cat ears from Hot Topic on my birthday (October 15th if you forget ;3). However, they were grey with alternate pink ribbons on them, so I wore those to work and these black ones for Halloween.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I LOVE these ears! They’re so cute! I’m obsessed with black cats in particular, so they are really fun to wear. They don’t look weird on the head at all, they look practically natural. However there is one tiny little issue... one of my bells don’t work T^T the little thingy inside fell out I guess, or its stuck.

It’s a tiny bummer, but one I’m willing to live with.

♥ Cutie Ranking ♥

Content - 4 out of 5. I loved everything, and the items were great in general :D in terms of pricing I felt like it was well worth it in comparison to last years box (we got a lot of cheaper, small items if you didn’t check out that entry)

Theme: 5 out of 5. It’s dead-on Halloween! Even the box reflected that!

Total Rank: 14 out of 15 Cuties. I remember ranking the prior years box as being fairly high on my scale- but in all honesty back then I didn’t know what I was doing. I think by now I’d actually rate it within a 7-9 range. The items were much cheaper and on a small sale in comparison to this crate, and while I admit I love the plush, hair clips, and Hoppe-chan from last years, I overall prefer this one.

♡ Cutie Scale ♡

1. Tomomi and Nuki mug - I HAD to give them the top spot this year. I love how the design not only fits the cute and mischievous side to Doki Doki crate, but I like how it clearly says Halloween!

2. Cat Ears - Kawaii ♥ I love the additional accessories

3. Cat Paws - generic sure, but I LOVE kitties and I always wanted a pair. The detail on them is really nice too.

4. Sanrio Bags - I love the colorful pops of halloween colors and styles!

5. Hoppe-Chan - usually ranks a lot higher, but she’s kind of plain this year...

6. Rabbit Ragdoll - A big generic as well. I love the mix of patch fabrics used though and it looks so precious~

7. Tsum Tsum Socks - in comparison to the other items they feel a bit generic. They don’t really feature any special designs or Halloween-esque details.

Okay Cuties, that does it for another review :P I’m hoping to hurry and get my November’s done, but I’m confident that I can cover them and my December crates no problem!

Until next time, stay Cute ♥
