in the interest of observation and personal curiosity, does each merchant have a favorite spiral?
alternately, may i request #s 222 and 333 please >_<
They’ve set me about the task of gathering our personal favorites.. because the other Merchants are cruel and find joy in putting me on display once I’ve stumbled my way out of our inventory. 🩷😑
(Dazed and confused, blushing like mad, spirals just beginning to fade from his eyes… can you blame us? 🤭💚)
…
As I was saying. It will be difficult to narrow down our favorites, but we will try hard to keep it to just one per Merchant!
Follow us below the cut for-
Each Merchant’s Favorite Spiral:
(TW for flashing images, eyestrain, hypnotic language, and one spiral with text subliminals)
Merchant Card 💚:
Just the right type of variation on a classic black and white spiral to make me fall in love with it 😍 I adore the way it aberrates from something simple to reeling, whirring colors.
Sway your head gently along with it as changes its course over and over and over. Let yourself shift and blur along with the pretty colors. Trust me, you’ll like it. 💚
Merchant Doctor 🤍:
Complex details moving in synchronous patterns to create something simple to look at. A gear turning in some great, hypnotic machine, occasionally multiplying into something briefly more colorful, but no less consistent. 🤍
Merchant Fractal 💛:
I scoff at the notion of simply being one thing. Two spirals is the least they can allow me, hm?
These are but two of several spirals that I stare with to lure unsuspecting strangers into my grasp.
“How cheerfully he seems to grin, how neatly spreads his claws.
To welcome little fishes in
With gently smiling jaws”. 💛
Merchant Hare 🩷:
My heart falls so easily into the rhythm of this spiral. It pulses in my mind and every heartbeat spreads my blush from head to toe as I let the aphrodisiac flow through my very blood.
As flustering as it is to stare at, I do take satisfaction in knowing that sharing my thoughts on this spiral shares the love with others. Having our hearts beat as one… isn’t that idea just perfectly lovely, my friends? 🩷🫠
Merchant Havoc 💚💜:
(Took Hare long enough to find mine, geez. It’s like he doesn’t even try or something~)
I love subliminals, babes. This one’s common sense, too. If you’re around me, you should be apologizing for thinking. 💚💜
Merchant Host 🤍🖤:
There’s nothing on, so why are you staring? It’s not wise to sit so close to the TV screen, you know. 🤍🖤
Merchant Slumber ❤️:
Nice and simple. Serene and quiet. Easy on the eyes, and gentle. Letting each droplet make its impact and ripple outward, spreading relaxation through you.
I love a patient spiral. One that lets your breathing slow down, and your eyelids flutter.
A nice big yawn, the chance to float and drift along into the rocking embrace of sleep. Imagining the dripping droplets in your mind even as your eyes close for the night…
Something you might relate to, hm Rainy? ❤️
A bloody hour. This took me an hour to complete. 🫠
Doesn’t help when all the Merchants need to chime in with what makes their favorite so alluring.. all while I have to stare directly at the spiral.
,,,Your Merchant Hare is a bit unwound, as it were. 🩷😵💫
So very proud of how hard my favorite merchant worked today~ you deserve a reward. You favorite firm of physical affection. Head pat, hugs, a gentle kiss n the cheek, you’ve earned all of it and more. Very very very proud of you Merch

Sso ssweeet to uss, dear Vulkin ssso ssweet. 💛
The praisse isss quiite appreciated. It feelss like we’ve melted onto the floor somewwhere in the sshop and othersss have entered to look fondlly upon uss.
The attention is.. flusstering to ssay the leassst.
Oh! I know what would be a fun exercise that would most certainly not affect any of the lovely and delightful merchants~
If you had to assign a spiral to each merchant, which would they be?
- Snowdrop
Hello there Snowdrop- now we actually have another request asking for each of our favorite spirals, so I’ll be tackling this question purely representationally!
And as for being “affected” by the process of combing through our inventory to find each spiral… we plan to remain focused on the task at hand! 🩷
…we plan to .////.
Spirals are below the cut as usual:
Merchant Card 💚
Playful, bright, and illuminating. 💚
Merchant Doctor 🤍
Measured, patient, and minimalistic. 🤍
Merchant Fractal 💛
Fluid, teasing, and beckoning. 💛
Merchant Hare 🩷
Delicate, wobbly, and unraveling. 🩷
Merchant Havoc 💚💜
Incongruous, obnoxious, and discordant. 💚💜
Merchant Host 🤍🖤
Nostalgic, charismatic, and classic 🤍🖤
Merchant Slumber ❤️
Gentle, lulling, and fond ❤️
,,,the search took us an awfully long time, admittedly. I think we began this endeavor an hour ago
Thank you again for such a lovely prompt, we were happy to think so deeply
So deep
..so deeply about how we’d each like to represent ourselves, of course 😵💫🩷
I noticed that you’re fond of spirals that resemble eyes but I’m curious if you also enjoy spirals with a pendulum? I’ll confess I’m quite fond of pendulums in general so I figure I’d suggest this for your collection.
We are *very* fond of pendulums here, as it turns out! 🩷
A classic back and forth and back again? Timeless! (Unless your pendulum of choice is a pocket watch, I suppose…)
We especially adore in this animation the way the lighting on the string shifts with the motion. It’s simple but it keeps the movement grounded with a sense of weight.
Slow and steady and enthralling..
We actually have quite a few pendulum-esque spirals in our collection (this one now included), and will put two of them below the cut 🥰
Us and our black and white spirals 😅😵💫
The rocking, swinging motions do so much to captivate and keep steady attention. Makes one want to sway along..
…Key word being “one” of course! Not us.
We.. are being quite normal about our merchandise. As always. 😌
Aww, cutie, are you feeling all suggestible today? Needing someone else to think for you for a bit? That's okay. It's good for you to sample your merchandise from time to time. How else would you know if they work or not?
Here's one of My favourites. I don't know if it's in your collection already; you should find out! Really focus on it, make sure you fully grasp it. Just to ensure you remember if you have this one or not, of course. You need to stare into the spiral to know. You need to stare. You need to stare.
Such a beautiful thing, isn't it? It always makes Me think of a black hole, spinning round and round, drawing you ever closer towards the centre, crushing your thoughts into mere specks as it consumes your mind. You'd lose yourself in it if you looked for too long, your mind dragged beyond the event horizon into the endless hypnotic abyss. So stare. Enjoy. And surrender.
You know you want to~
I,, ohh this one is,,
I stared at this far longerr than I’m willing to admit,,🩷😵💫
The pulsating colors and the Emppty empty void of the middle, thoughts pulled
Staring and surreendering,,
,..the other Merchants are teasing me for being so quick to drop.. 🫣
Thank you for this,, it’s good for me to stare at our inventory so I can keep track of everything 🩷
We declare it Open Season on Merchant Hare tonight >:) 💚
