My partner made a terrible comment about Minecraft's bundles that I think tumblr would appreciate.
So, you know how you need to remove all the items in the order they appear in up until you reach the one you actually want, right? Which- Gets super messy and ends up with 300 inventory items dropped on the ground while you're digging in your bag to get that goddamn pot.
Well. Uh. They noted, with their very limited knowledge on it, that uh...
they literally reinvented homestuck's terrible captchalogue's systems, huh
Since they have captchalogue cards as an in-universe inventory system, are women in the homestuck universe uninhibited by lack of convenient on-person storage, as in the real world with pocketless clothing (or arguably worse, fake pockets)?
Do they need pockets?
Does anyone in the homestuck universe need pockets?
Do handbags (or any kind of bag) need to exist in a world with captchalogue cards?
I've never done one of these before, am I doing it right??
( The bag is really cool, thanks @ender--slime !! )
Wow tho, finally found a use for the old Homestuck charms I made in like 2012 or 2013!! They were originally going to be another decoden phone case, but I scrapped that idea when I had a cooler idea for a Derse-themed 'the prince is awake' case, and then later got into different fandoms for the next cases.
(My favourite is still the teeny tiny Squarewave!)
I hot-glued some earring posts and stuck plastic backs on the Strider charms to pin them down. They of course all popped off the hot glue when I tried scrunching the panel in there, but I managed. I left the second white panel sandwiching the backs, so they don't tear up the bag itself.
I also offloaded four heavy Gurren Lagann charms that were hanging on my phone. They've been clattering around on my phone for a whole year, now. (Actually, just a few days shy of a whole year.) I'm feeling SO naked handling my phone without them causing a racket, now. They were so heavy and so loud. I might miss them already, but I don't know if I have enough flat Homestuck things to put on here yet? (I WAS going to like just draw and print my own collage or something. But I still forgot to get printer ink.) So. I'll probably take those off once I figure out how else to fill this with a unified Strider concept. ((I wish I knew the GL charm artist, but I bought them second-hand.))
[UPD8: The GL artist is a team selling their items on Etsy as Takosumi !! Here is the link to the GL charms which are still for sale as of Feb 2026: https://www.etsy.com/listing/477738513/2-double-sided-acrylic-charms-shonen ]
I seriously have no idea what I'm doing at all, so I watched some videos, and one person put fairy lights, so I went and robbed my Valentine's tree of its red battery-powered lights for this. It had to be wrapped weirdly, and I was all pushing a pen in there to shove it into shape (and popping the charms off the earring posts again, sigh).
The shitty holographic foil wrapping paper I added kept getting torn, too, but it's gold and matches the hardware, so I had to try it. (I LOVE GOLD.) Maybe it will work better if I glue it down onto foam instead lol, but IDK if foam will bend to squish in there. And I threw on an extra M56 lanyard I had, just because?? I usually have a red one on my phone. IDK what else to use the lanyards for, besides my phone.
I still have a TON of handmade smuppet charms, but they all have charm loops baked into them, so I don't want to put those inside the bag. Maybe on the outside somewhere?? The orange smuppet in the bag was THE original I used to make the mold for the other clay smuppets. (Was going to make a smuppet charm bracelet, but never got around to chaining them together. Art college was rough, man. Left so many projects behind while flying back and forth.) I gotta think about it.
Anyway, yeah. Here's my first go at assembling an ita-bag panel.
headcanon that Rosemary got married on summer solstice because rose is a light player and 6 is kanaya's number :3 (Also their wedding snaps seem to be in summer!!"
the trollian txt says "For Rose" !!
Edit: the text was originally written backwards ty to @greetings-inferiors for letting me know :3
This is just a temporary setup until I get more pins but AAAAA THIS IS GONNA LOOK SO GOOD WITH MY HOMESTUCK COSPLAYS
Tysm @ender--slime for making these into a thing and especially for shipping worldwide. It's surprisingly rare that we can import stuff like this to finland pvp
