Are these fucking cut-off tits hung up on a swingset to dry?

That's some Patrick Bateman shit. Why would you ever buy this.

oh
oh i missed that one, somehow
is it...suppose to be like...for breast cancer victims...? but then most i know of actually feel "lesser" if they get mastectomies so...i'm baffled

this is apparently a "baby blabber". it's marked for "baby showers", but the description specifically says to use it for announcing to your SO that you're preggo. so you get the instant download for 7 bucks, print it out, stick the thing you peed on overtop the wand part, and...display it over a fireplace...?

P E N C I L S W I T H Q U O T E S and also black and white digital nerd art

il_570xN.1260563194_lwme.jpg


this listing is specifically for the veritaserum, which is a "thick crystal clear solution"
aka probably dumped glycerin into a bottle and slapped a label on, charged 7.50 (down from 10) gg
some of the potions they make are cool looking but stuff like the floo powder or simple color changed liquid, i don't understand why you wouldn't just make it yourself

not shit per se, but this person has a first edition/first print of the sorcerer's stone for 1.6k, and apparently two people have it in their cart.

Why do people not understand that Harry Potter isn't fucking real

Eh. As depressing as it is that somebody has 1.6k to spend on a single book, this isn't even close to what first edition, first print run of The Philosopher's Stone can go for. What really concerns me is that they're selling this on etsy. I sincerely doubt that etsy have done anything to verify this is real, or that they would even know how to go about that. This person could could quite easily be running a scam and I doubt a buyer would get much help from etsy if they are.

Anybody who needs this to announce a pregnancy should not be reproducing.

Harry Potter themed weddings are arguably more cringey than Star Wars or Avengers themed ones because you're also larping school children as well as autistic fantasy.
Click to expand...

Eh. I've seen some pretty tasteful Harry Potter themed weddings, but it's usually the ones where it's a minor stylistic influence rather than taking over the wedding. Getting married in a castle a having lights hung from the ceiling to resemble the great hall is one thing, getting married in robes and putting "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good" in your vows is another. Anyone who does the latter should not be getting married.

I'm pretty sure that selling a book is against Etsy TOS unless you made it. Its supposed to be a handicrafts marketplace, not Quirky eBay

"Handmade on Etsy is a spectrum. On one end, we have makers-- sellers who are literally making their items with their own hands (or tools). On the other end, we have designers-- sellers who design their items, but rely entirely on production partners to help physically produce them. Many handmade sellers fall in the middle of the spectrum because they are both making and designing their items. Regardless of where you fall on this spectrum, you must be transparent about who is helping you and how your items are being made. You, the seller, must be making and/or designing your handmade items. Reselling is prohibited. Read more below about your obligations as a handmade seller." - Handmade Policy

so cafepress shit seems to be okay
retarded, because i've only ever seen official art/bad fanart used for cafepress items, but "legal"
unless it's human remains tho they don't seem to care much tbh (except for teeth and hair apparently, that's...interesting...i guess because you don't have to kill someone to obtain that)
but regardless, etsy's a dumb place to sell books since no one is looking for books on etsy

also, this was interesting to me, i don't think i've ever seen a policy like this on other sites

i figured, it just seems weird for etsy to care about that
most of the time it seems that kind of artwork is made out of an immature sort of patriotism or attempt to support the cause, not maliciousness
 
For those wondering, you're totally allowed to sell non-handmade books on Etsy, as long as they are vintage (20 years old or more). People tend to forget that Etsy isn't just a place to sell shitty homemade crafts, it's also a vintage marketplace.

Let's be real, all themed weddings are fucking terrible.

Any time I see a picture or someone talking about their smug nerd wedding where everyone wore Converse instead of real shoes, had a theme revolving around some nerd franchise (or steampunk, not sure which is worse), and they played board games instead of dancing because they don't like dancing, I die a little inside.

I found this while looking for more of those super expensive yet cute Blythe diorama travel cases with the A++ craftsmanship and this face will haunt my nightmares.
