Welcome to Commerciala Central!

Hey bestie get in here we're lovingly bastardizing commercial iconography

What is Commerciala?

Commerciala isn’t its own IP, in the vein of fandoms like Countryhumans. It is currently tiny and lore is still being developed. If you tag your fic on AO3, please use "Commerciala." (It isn't a wrangled tag yet)

Mascots:

Mascots exist! They exist in the real world alongside humans as actual celebrities seen on TV, food packaging, etc. They are a distinct species that all fall under “mascot” regardless of whether they are apparently-human, animal, or object. They can also possess powers/abilities/afflictions relating to their brand, though these aren’t strictly defined. Their origin is also not defined.

Mascots turned human would be a Human AU of Commerciala like anything else

Interpretations of mascots as not being celebrities existing in the real world canon can still be included but would also be considered an AU (Alternate Universe: Non-Famous)

Fictional mascots (like the FNAF gang, as much as I love them) are not considered part of Commerciala, but feel free to do crossovers!

Brandhumans:

“Brandhumans” are humans based off of a brand in general. They are distinct from mascots. The brandhuman doesn’t have to be employed by the brand they embody, the point is that they're the personification of the brand. Their name doesn’t have to be the exact name of the brand to be understood as a particular brandhuman (ex: Wallmart = Wally Mart).

A company could have both a mascot and a brandhuman.

More abstract commercial concepts are also treated as brandhumans.

There are no canon brandhumans, each is treated similarly to an OC and all interpretations are valid.

Misc Blog Info:

My name is Friday (she/he, 30s), I'm the admin here! I'm a writer and artist who is just really passionate about playing with mascots and brandhumans like barbies. I want to create a community and uplift creators. In that spirit, I will always welcome being sent Commerciala art and fic posts to share with the world!

The essence of Commerciala is satirical, it is not meant to glorify the companies associated with it or promote any particular world view. Some creative works will paint these brands in a positive light, others will not, all are accepted and encouraged here. This blog is anticensorship.

Commerciala and this blog are not affiliated with any of the brands represented herein. It is not for any financial gain. Representations of real-world brands, mascots, and intellectual property are transformative and covered under the fair use doctrine. The public works shared here do not reflect any actual beliefs and opinions related to the companies involved and are all purely fictional for entertainment purposes only.

Figurine collection of Kellogg's cereal mascots.I think the only two we actually use in this country are Tony and Cornelius.Do believe I have seen a few of the commercials through searching rabbit holes and the international aisles of grocery stores(Due to usage in the Mexican market).

Tony's now with the take I have of his older design

Hey lovely, hum, well, if it takes your fancy, imagine, if you will, Lewis hiring the Jack in the Box mascot for the fair cause the clown the year before was horrible, right?

Well turns out he's not a clown anymore, cause Lewis is so old he remembers Jack Box being a clown but we all know that now he's just a man with a jack in the box head, and he's an asshole cause he's a CEO, and he's being super rude to Jas who just wants a balloon animal.

Anyway, can you get Jack Box to completely destroy Shane's face in a vicious fight? Cause you know he would defend Jas obviously.

But Jack Box is jacked, he'd remove his suit jacket and roll his shirt's sleeves yaknow.

Black eye, split lip, that sorta thing ....

Shane does get a hug from Jas at the end.

See the vision?..................

Hello my queen! Ok, sick, let's get insane with it shall we? Oh Jack my beloved Jack, time to make you an asshole. 

Jack wears a permanent grimace as he walks through the plaza, loudly making a call to his assistant that she must have messed something up because this is not the networking event he was promised. There are farm animals here! Stinking up the place! And townspeople that don’t smell much better. 

They start to stare at this weird clown-looking man making a scene. Some wonder if maybe this is a sort of performance??

Lewis introduces him as the clown he hired, which eases some confusion. Definitely a performance then. Bit of a weird choice, but more entertaining than last year’s clown. Maybe he’s one of those that roasts people. 

Shane in particular thinks the comment about everyone smelling is hilarious, and elbows Marnie about it. He can’t wait to see everyone get roasted. 

Jack continues with his phone call until he feels a tapping on his leg and looks down. 

Oh no. It’s a child.  

If it’s possible his grimace deepens in disgust. “What?” he snaps. 

The child waves with a limp hand and stammers, “D-do you do balloon animals?” 

“Hold on Donna there’s a child speaking to me,” he says into his phone before focusing on Jas again. “Kid, I can’t even begin to tell you how fucked up it is that you just asked a clown if he does balloon animals. So instead I’m just gonna say scram,” he growls, and Jas jumps back terrified.

Anyone who knows Jas knows how much bravery it took to approach the clown on her own, so they’re all appalled as she bursts into tears. (Including and especially, Shane.)

“Oh of course, here come the waterworks,” Jack grumbles and then calls out, “Can someone come get their brat?” 

“What the hell was that?!” Shane shouts, looking between the clown and the mayor as Marnie scoops up an inconsolable Jas. 

“I’m sure there’s been some kind of misunderstanding,” Lewis starts. 

Jack huffs in frustration at all the raised voices and jabs at his phone screen to hang up. “No, yeah, fuck my phone call, that’s fine.” 

Shane steps up to the clown, seething. “The hell kind of clown are you?”

Jack looks down at the disheveled man before him and raises a blue penciled eyebrow unflinchingly. “The kind that could kick your ass, so back up.”

Shane was used to getting into scraps. Even with guys bigger than him, because they often didn’t have the balls or training to really do much damage and mostly relied on intimidation.

This freak in his fancy suit is surely bluffing. 

“Try me, asshole,” Shane grits, tightly closing his fists at his sides. 

Jack laughs as Lewis weakly objects. Trying to get them to stop, trying to get onlookers to move on. 

The clown calmly puts away his phone… and tears off the sleeves of his jacket to reveal the muscled arms of a boxer. 

Shane fucked up. But he’s no quitter, especially when it comes to Jas. 

Smiling for the first time since he entered town, Jack wastes no time in throwing a jab at Shane’s face. 

Shane manages to block some of it with his arm but his ear is left ringing. He backs up, tries to shake it off and focus. 

Due to his height there’s no way to get this guy without going in close and, unfortunately, getting hit in the process. Shane protects his head and ducks in, managing a blow to Jack’s chest as he gets him in the shoulder. 

“Oof, good one,” Jack teases. 

He’s having too much fun with this. 

Shane growls and goes for the same move again. 

Pain explodes in his jaw and then the world is flipped upside-down. He’s falling, and then the pain bursts in the back of his head and back as he hits the ground hard. 

Jack sneers at the man now on the floor, then turns to Lewis. “I’ll send you the bill for my jacket. It’s Armani.” 

Lewis gapes at him, too stunned to speak. Marnie shouts for Shane and runs back with Jas as the horrible clown walks away from the mess he caused. 

Shane’s jaw is already bruising. There’s a trickle of bloody saliva stringing from his mouth. But he’s groaning, so at least he’s somewhat conscious. 

He turns on his side and spits. “Fuck, gonna feel that in the mornin’” he slurs before slowly sitting up. 

“Shane!” Jas cries and threw herself around his neck. “You’re hurt!” 

“Tha’s okay. No one gets to be mean to you.”

Is it bad that I still find Jack hot 😅

I had him rip the arms of his jacket off because I have a distinct image of him with ripped off sleeves in a commercial at some point, no one correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway I love unhinged shit ty for the ask ♥️

Some fursonas wear clothes, while others don't. This is because some of them have bitten from the fruit of knowledge or descend from a line that have, while the rest haven't.

Did Tony the Tiger (or ancestor) eat the apple of knowledge (thereby incurring Original Sin)

Yes, he knows sin

No, he is innocent

I know this may be a little odd- but I dint recognize more than half of the yassified fast food people you draw. I know Ronald, Grimace, Hamburgler, KFC, Starbucks- but not the others. Could you tell me/show me who they are?

I made a lil reference! tumblr is gonna sandblast the quality

[whimsywittzy]

Hey friends!! 😄😊

Recently I decided to try out pixel art, which led to me dabbling with animation!!

I made this little animated short of my friend @lily-alphonse ‘s fic Making Biscuits (I’ll link it under the animation! There literally hasn’t been a week that’s gone by since I’ve read it where I haven’t quoted one of its many iconic lines)

It’s Kent from Stardew Valley x The Pillsbury Dough Boy!!

CW: implied violence/murder (?) so it’s under the cut ⬇️

Animation:

Hope you enjoyed it!! If you did you gotta check out the fic itself!!!

If you didn’t well that’s your business I guess idk

Fic:

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

[pinkiepixels]
