Prices are fixed and cannot be bargained with.

It is under my discretion to either accept or deny a claim.

After buying, the owner:

Can change the design as they want.

Can’t be sold to other buyers.

Happy Pride!

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

thesaltofcarthage

I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.

I saw your Monkie Kid stuff and wanted to say: Mei, in canon, was probably super lonely and naive as a kid. Like, look how sheltered and rich she was. No WAY did she understand “poor people stuff”(as her family would put it) when she went out of her family’s bubble for the first time. So her meeting MK was probably super special for her because he was not only her first friend but probably the person who introduced her to everything for the first time.

You're right! And I think that's why I (and quite a few others in the fandom) like to hint at the fact that she just buys stuff for the others constantly. Price is not an issue, and she might have bought her friends stuff that almost gave them a heart attack because of the price tag.

And personally, I think that's her love language. She had everything a kid could want, save for friends. So now she showers her friends with everything they want!

ALWAYS get everything in writing

Also? If it is a contracted position, write down that you are not quitting but are concerned at the change in contract terms. If they wish to renegotiate your contract, you would be delighted to do so.

DID SOMEONE ASK FOR MORE VILLAINS

Did not realize that I would have the most fun redesigning the villains of this show and yet Flim, Flam, and Dr Caballeron were the easiest. I already wanted to change Flim and Flam's cutie marks because I thought the og ones didn't make much sense, but it was one of my friends who suggested adding the cards to make it look like they are cheating at poker. While Caballeron (why does he even have a doctor title??) gave me the vibes of a villain from Lara Croft and Tomb Raiders, so I leaned into that as much as possible, so that's why he has a prosthetic leg and hoof (the green one). The Sphinx, on the other hand, pissed me off the most. Much like the hippogriffin and hippocampus, the show just took two monsters with the same name and put them together. THAT'S RIGHT, THERE'S MORE THAN ONE TYPE OF SPHINX. The Roman Sphinx has wings, while the Egyptian one does not. But the show gave this Sphinx Roman wings and Egyptian-esque clothes! So, since I know she's appeared alongside Subnambula (by the way, already designed her, because I am insane), I made her egyptian. So the only wings she has now are ornamental. In comparison, tho! The show's version of Ahuizotl is surprisingly close to the mythological one. So most of my research went into the types of "clothes" and jewels he would wear. Now, Grogar has a pretty fine design, but I wanted to give him more of a monster feel (especially since the wiki says he is the father of all monsters), so I gave him more fanged teeth and two sets of horns, Satan style. Lastly, there's Cosmos, and I find her so cool. I didn't change anything from her design because I think it's pretty good! She was just fun to draw.

Rest of the redesigns

Longtime readers may be aware of how much I relish an excuse to bully a company, so I'm sharing the wealth;

Clothing company Patagonia is currently sueing drag queen Pattie Gonia for "irreparable” harm to their brand.

To be clear; Pattie named herself after the region in South America.

So Pattie is asking people to politely ask Patagonia to drop the lawsuit.

I'm extending the invitation to all of you, because sueing a drag queen for 'infringement' in the current political cultural landscape is vile. Especially a drag queen who has raised millions of dollars for non-profits, uses her platform to raise awareness for climate activism, and fully aligns with Patagonia's apparent climate-conscious mission statement.

They're claiming they're sueing for $1. They're actually asking her to stop using her name, and pay over $1 million in legal fees. They're straight up harassing her.

In contrast, drag queen Jan Sport has a Jansport bag line. It's that easy to just... work with a queen.

Anyway. Be respectful(ish), but feel free to be annoying on Patagnoia's socials, asking them to 'DROP THE LAWSUIT'

I think they have a twitter and tiktok too!

Here is an article from NPR about it (May 22, 2026):

Carolina Milanesi, an independent technology analyst, said Google is trying to make its cash cow business — search — richer and more personalized, and it will make shopping easier. But there is a risk that users may have fewer choices about what to click. "Right now it's: I ask a question, I get a bunch of answers and I feel that I'm in control as to which answer I take, or if I'm looking for something, which product I'm going to end up buying. That is going to be less so going forward," she said. Milanesi envisions AI-enabled search and agents proposing products to consumers — perhaps even those they have requested — but with less clarity or choice around where it's coming from. "If you're going to say: 'I want a pair of Jordans, go find them,' you're not necessarily sure what steps have been taken and whether the AI has used a source or a store that was paid for and therefore came up in the search results," she said, "or if AI actually went and did their due diligence and picked the best for me as a customer."

And here's one from Time magazine (May 20, 2026):

While Google already has “AI Mode,” the company will now power the whole search bar through its new Gemini 3.5 Flash model. Instead of the classic list of blue links, Google Search will now also generate a custom page with an AI-generated summary of what you’re searching about, which will then trigger a conversation with AI Mode on the main page, allowing users to ask follow-up questions—similar to the kind of layout you would see when opening ChatGPT.

And a little more from Time's article on how this may affect the websites that we are trying to search for:

When Google first started implementing AI-assisted results, news publishers warned of “catastrophic” impacts on the industry, much of which relies on Google search to drive users to their websites. Last year, news websites saw significant traffic declines as chatbots increasingly replaced Google search as the primary way to find sites and ask questions. Small businesses also noted drops in traffic to their sites from Google, which has traditionally delivered customers. Lily Ray, vice president of SEO strategy & research at Amsive, a digital marketing agency, warned as early as last year that Google’s planned changes to search are “going to have a devastating impact on the Internet.” “It will severely cut into the main source of revenue for most publishers and it will disincentivize content creators who rely on organic search traffic, which is millions of websites, maybe more,” she told Technology Magazine.
