As it happens, our store has a listing that serves as a virtual fund-a-giveaway bucket. Whenever the amount in the bucket clears a new multiple of $50, we hold an extra-special giveaway on top of our regulars.
Over the past year and a half, folks here and there have put in a dollar, a fiver, a ten. Some just arrive mysteriously in the middle of the night and drop a fifty and vanish like some kind of benevolent binder fairy. It’s amazing.
Hey, folks? People who’ve put in money here and there to the point that we’re now holding our fifteenth donor-funded giveaway? You did this. Thank you, thank you always. You rock.
The two randomly-selected winners of this giveaway will each receive one $55 Shapeshifters crop top custom-print binder. (That’s a binder with any four-way stretch fabric under $16 from here!)
Thank you always for spreading the word, telling your friends, reblogging, posting about it, writing fanfic (!!), and, of course, for your amazing direct support — of us and of each other. We couldn’t do this without you.
I love that feeling of like… having alone time but also with someone? You know when you’re in the same room, sitting together on the sofa or the bed, quietly and separately doing your own things. Maybe leaning against each other or softly touching. Sometimes you don’t actually wanna talk but you’re still enjoying the silent presence of that person. There’s a sense of quiet, peaceful comfort.
Quoting vines in Rome to see who responds. So far we have:
In the Colosseum, a tour guide was talking about who sat where and when they mentioned that the emperor and some other guy sat in one place, I said “And they were roommates!” And one of the girls on the tour said “oh my god! Zey ver voomates!” In a thick German accent before glaring at me.
And an alcove in the Vatican Museum with nothing in it and I quietly said “this bitch empty” and a British girl yelled “YEET” before realising her mistake and telling me to go fuck myself.
Florence and the Machine at last night’s Spotify event in Brooklyn. As Florence began to sing Sky Full of Song a literal storm began to hit, she never faltered and embraced the storm.
Watching this was an ethereal experience
this queen literally summoned a storm during her performance when will your fave ever control the weather with such accuracy
thank you so so much for sharing this. this video is so important to me. i would sell my laptop, my house, and my sister for this duck. this video has enlightened me. i can continue living knowing such a being exists. thank you.
Not because he’s particularly outlandish, but because he doesn’t look the way he does in pictures. Sure, they don’t expect for him to always be jumping through the air with a civilian tucked under his arm, but somehow, when transitioning from the No. 1 Pro Hero to an objective medium, he becomes shockingly normal. The mixture of freckles and green hair and All Might jacket make him blend in with the crowd and appear surprisingly plain, despite the unsettlingly bright smile and height.
When people meet Deku, they’re surprised.
Not because they didn’t think he had his own interests outside of the hero business, but because he’s truly a fanboy at heart and they weren’t expecting that out of the hero who has it all. He’ll show up at a convention and ask to take photos with cosplayers, as if he isn’t the most cosplayed hero in the vicinity. He won’t be bothered by the camera in his face as he picks his way through merchandise and he’ll look hilariously calm when he asks the reporter if they have change for a twenty.
When people meet Deku, they’re surprised.
Not because he’s intimidating, but because he’s the complete opposite. He’s big and has a handshake that somehow reinforces that he’s used to shaking the hands of equally powerful people, but he’s clumsy and laughs at his own mistakes and gets flustered when a fan asks for an autograph. He’ll engage a fan in a conversation about Ingenium when he sees their t-shirt and he’ll begin to ramble about his friends and he’ll almost exchange numbers with them before realizing that it would be a breach of his personal security, but that doesn’t stop him from giving them his username on a forum site.
When people meet Deku, they’re surprised.
Not because he’s not what they expected, but because he’s everything they could have ever hoped for in a hero, while simultaneously surprising them with every step he takes.
