The cycle of saying I need to update and then not updating continues... I've still got my list of posts I want to make but most of my brain energy has been taken up RPing with a friend which has been a lot of fun!! I've been missing RP lately and I was even floating the idea of getting into a game again but thank god I convinced her to do a 1-on-1 thing with me so I didn't have to do that sjdhfsjkfdhs. It is, unsurprisingly, a Jayvik thing lmao.


A couple orders came in over the last few weeks!! I backed a pair of Wangxian and Hualian pins from a danmei ship Kickstarter and they're SO cute, I almost forgot about them until I got the shipping notice haha. And I also printed myself the best shirt in the world aka I put a Viktor Arcane "let's take ibuprofen together" meme on a t-shirt sjdhfkjsdf I love it so much. I've just been wearing it around the house but it's so funny to me.


art by Noxalisaurus.rex!
The modern Hualian sticker was an extra little freebie which was nice, and I also managed to salvage the Hua Cheng thank you sticker off the packaging which made me happy. I still have nowhere to display all my pins which is so ughhh like I need to get a banner or board or something to put up because right now all my pins are just packed up in boxes.


This was cheaper than I expected to have printed lol dangerous knowledge for me... Obviously the quality isn't amazing but it's better than I expected. As long as it doesn't disintegrate after three washes I'll be happy. But yeah this art kills me every time because at no point does Viktor look like this in the show!! They yassified this skin for League Viktor for no reason. I love it.

I also discovered this sticker subscription site called Stickii Club that does 3 different themed packs a month and they're only $12, which is a steal for how much you get. It looks like they work with a lot of indie artists and their selection is so adorable, they have a lot of leftover stickers and things from previous packs on sale on their site and I'm really struggling to narrow down what I want to get... But I'm definitely going to subscribe for this month and see how it goes. 👀

That shirt is perfect lol. What a true offer of love.

And talk about dangerous, that sticker pack is so tempting.

I don't know if it's my habitual overuse of ibuprofen or what but the let's take ibuprofen together meme is stupidly funny to me. I was so happy to see that splash art had the perfect pose for it.

Looking at Stickii's past offerings makes me sad I only now learned of them, they had so many good themes! I'm extra mad I just barely missed the February theme cutoff because I REALLY want this Classics themed one... I'm stalking their site hoping they'll put up leftovers soon so I can get it. 🙏

One of my friends has a Stickii Club subscription and sends me some of their spares! The stickers themselves (and ephemera) have all been high-quality and the only thing that keeps me from subscribing is that my sticker box has been otherwise full. ^^;;

That's good to know! I did some googling looking for reviews and it seems people like them based on random Reddit comments I found lol. I don't NEED more stickers either but at that price point for such cute stuff...how can I resist.

Are/were you into dwrp? Me too, for years and years! I miss the energy of games tbh but I left public rp when I went back to school and haven't gotten back into it yet... I rp with 1 good friend these days and have enjoyed writing my own stuff solo again since it really does drain my creative energy.

Also I love the Viktor t-shirt. An dvery cute stickers!

[tinkaton]

I used to RP on lj/dw/ij yeah! Honestly I don't know how I used to keep up with games lmao, nowadays just doing one psl with a friend is taking up all my time. I had a really fun time playing in games but perhaps those times have passed for me...

[sushiflop]

Yeah I'm waiting for the right game and time I guess... maybe. Do you mind if I ask where you used to play? It's just funny having run across another journal rper in the wild. I started out in Paradisa.

[tinkaton]

Honestly I can't even remember the names of the older ones lol, most of them weren't very big/popular games. I think the biggest one I was in was Haven, which was super fun.

Yay pins!

[tinkaton]

🎉❤️

The ibuprofen shirt!! XD

I have historically never used a sticker (I just hoard them if I have them) but Stickii Club is still kind of tempting...

[tinkaton]

It's sooo good I love it lmao

I am also a serial sticker hoarder but since I started journaling I've been trying to use mine more! I have a harder time using the "rare" stickers aka when I get one (1) nice big sticker that was kinda expensive from an artist I really love, but I've found that getting sticker sheets with lots of matching little stickers that isn't super expensive helps me actually use them up.

that ibuprofen shirt is priceless! XD

funny thing, i went to an artist alley with an irl friend the other day and she's a huge mxtx fan. she bought one of those cute little plushies of her favorite character (i'm pretty sure his name is lan wangji?) and since it was the last few hours and everything was closing down... THE TABLE ARTIST OFFERED HER TO TAKE THE CARDBOARD CUTOUT SHE HAD OF THAT CHARACTER HOME?? AND SHE DID! thing was huge, about the size of a person, so it barely fit in our taxi ride back XD

[tinkaton]

Thank you, I'm so glad I finally went ahead and had it printed because I've been thinking about it for like two months.

lmaooo that's so good, I wish I had a life size Wangji cutout!! I hope she found somewhere good to put it so she can cherish it forever.

THE STICKERS & PINS YOU GOT ARE SO CUTE ;A; I definitely recommend a pin board, mine brings me so much joy.

Also love the ibuprofen shirt, I think I have a similar one with a cat on it :') Ibuprofen my beloved...

[tinkaton]

Thank you!! Is there a particular kind of board you have or is it just a regular cork board sort of thing?

Yesss the ultimate meme for the 'takes too much ibuprofen' girlies.....
