I can't believe I haven't posted this before, because this video is everything. Such a good examination of MLMs! It goes into what makes them cults, the magical thinking, the survivorship bias, all the manipulation, etc.
Been a while for some Mixel OCs, hasn’t it! I made another round of fantribes! As usual, bios under the Read More:
They've got spirt, yes they do! They've got spirit, how 'bout you? Representing Mixopolis High School, it's the Cheerah-rahs! With boundless energy, they're here to pep up your sports game! Or club! Or anywhere, whether pepping up is needed or not! Captainvate is the bold and loud leader of the squad! With pom poms for hands, she's able to pep anyone up fast. It's her goal to bring enthusiasm to everything, though she's very oblivious on where it's truly needed. Peppup is the second lead of the squad. With a megaphone for a hand, and her trusty baton, she's much more selective on who needs energy, which makes her secretly a better cheerleader. Of course, Captainvate doesn't seem to care about this. The Mixopolis High School mascot is a Tigerscorp, and that's where Mascotty comes in! Wearing the somewhat shoddy mascot costume might make him look angry, but he's always loaded with enthusiasm...when he's in-costume. Out of it, he's very chill and tired, that costume's sweaty!
Their habitat is the various sports centers of the high school. Their Max is a far-more detailed Tigerscorp.

You've probably never heard of the Hipstercrytes. They're such an obscure tribe, you wouldn't know about them. They use only organic Cubits to Mix, and think most of the other tribes are too mainstream. Of course, that means they're not the best against Nixels, but that's too obvious, to fight Nixels! Nuage is the leader of the tribe. He constantly brings up foods no Mixel has heard of. Like, what's an apple? What's a coconut? They're so obscure, no one's heard of them! He's also obsessed with his facial hair, with a ridiculously long routine to get it looking this way. Younique is interested into "craft micro Mixes". These Mixes are so rare! They're Mixes no one's ever heard of, from tribes not even on the map! So of course you've never heard of these Mixes! The mustache tattoo was something from her past. She totally doesn't regret it, not at all! Beatmix listens to only the most obscure of music stylings. Sure, the Mixies are popular, but have you ever heard Nixel music? It's horrible to listen to, but no one listens to it, so that makes his tastes totally unique!
Their habitat is a coffee shop that you'll never find. Their Max is an amalgamation of themselves so obscure that you don't understand it.

Sometimes the Maximum Mixel gets bored. Sure, he's created so many tribes, but eventually you run out of ideas. So why not just reuse some ideas? Unfortunately, this caused the Reyoozed to be born. Using elements of familiar Mixels, these guys are uncanny messes. Just make sure these guys don't Mix with any of the Mixels that share their elements. Koppika was made to be the best leader out there. As such, all of his parts were made from existing leader Mixels. And yes, he is good at making plans, but no one wants to really be around him. But that buck-toothed smile never leaves his face. Like, ever. Moctle might be the least-uncanny of the group, which is certainly saying something, since she's still kind of uncanny. Cykull was an attempt to make an ultra-cute Mixel. Unfortunately, that failed. Hard. Somehow the scariest of all of them, he's proven not every face works on every Mixel. And he keeps smiling. Always. Forever.
Their habitat is a recycling center that contains elements of so many Mixel habitats. Their Max is an ultra-weird conglomerate.
For some extra reference, here's who's part is on who, canon and my OCs:
Koppika: Flain’s head, Fillup’s face, Tommerton’s body/neck, Trux’s arms, Niksput’s legs.
Moctle: Tarat’s head, Layluk’s face, Magnifo’s body, Tapsy’s arms, Kuffs’ legs.
Cykull: Lunk’s head, Scorpi’s face, Hookie’s body, Flawoo’s arms, Sentaiam’s legs.
Look at this amazing look with these awesome products these work a treat already for a busy day ahead will post a photo of my face later to show you how it is still going strong 💜💜💜
All of the MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) garbage that is currently in my apartment
I care about my mom, and bless her heart, but she’s bought into just about every MLM scam that her stay at home mom friends sell, and these products have often made their way into my apartment in the form of (often unwanted) gifts. I thought I would talk about all of the MLM scam products I’ve been gifted, along with pictures of most of them.
Younique: an MLM that sells (what I’m told is low-tier) makeup. I was gifted Younique concealer, liquid foundation, and mascara. Below is the concealer.
Zilia: A MLM that sells CBD oil (pictured is a bottle of CBD oil. Please buy your CBD oil from a reputable vendor)
Damsel in Defense: a not well-known MLM that sells home defense products to women. Pictured are a window smashing tool and a door alarm.
Norwex: an MLM that sells washcloths, hand towels, and other cleaning products. They tell you that you no longer need soap or other “nasty chemicals” because the ions in their cloth have antibacterial properties (if you’ve taken even high school level chemistry you understand how little sense that makes). Pictures below is a washcloth
Not Pictured:
Young Living Essential Oils: several were given to me for anxiety and depression. Sorry mom, but the severe performance-based anxiety and chronic depression required psychotherapy and medication, not magic oil.
A scarf from a MLM I don’t remember the name of that sells fair trade jewelry, scarves, and handbags
Though I don’t own any of their products currently Dishonorable Mention goes to Mary Kay since my mom was actually a distributor for a while
And these are just the MLM stuff that managed to make their way into my apartment.
I remember going to all of theses MLM ‘parties’ as a kid and didn’t realize that these were scams until MLM scams became a special interest after I watched a video about a law suit against Young Living Essential Oils.
My friend talked me into getting the Younique 4D mascara she’s selling. I’m actually very impressed with it. Head over to her link, if you wanna grab some. http://youniqueproducts.com/KaitilynSanders
