Found this absolute abomination on the streets of Greece. The emotion I’m feeling right now cannot be put into words.

#bootleg #knock off #bootleg finds #I tried to post this days ago but I think this image is actually cursed because it wouldn’t load even when I took a picture of the picture #huggy wuggy #bootleg toys #knockoffs #dancing cactus

(from Gabi Belle's video "How Dropshipping Ruined Online Shopping")

YES OMG. I went to an anime convention a few months ago and saw SO many cheap bootlegs being sold as if they were authentic items. Being an experienced collector, I have a good eye for bootlegs so it didn't affect me, but I couldn't help but think of all the people who were duped into buying a crappy $30 bootleg that they could have gotten on Aliexpress for like $2.

#the most egregious case was this one person selling these beautiful light-up displays of fake bonsai trees with figures perched on them #they were going for well over $100 each #but when I actually looked at the figures it was obvious they were cheap bootlegs that probably cost the seller less than $10 #the light up displays were probably from AliExpress or Temu as well #it just pissed me off because finding authentic figures for relatively cheap is very possible on sites like Yahoo Auctions Japan #but it's not as easy and cheap to use a proxy as it is to just order directly through a site like Temu #so guess what people choose to do instead #dropshipping #anti dropshipping #anime #figure collecting

I had a scrap piece of paper and drew the little freakish dog 👍 I have been silently enjoying your art for like a couple months now? I found it randomly on uploaded Pinterest and was like “oh huh that’s rad” and yeah he’s such a lovely sad little beast

.

#oooh another tiny machete sighting!#I don't know but I find it just so endearing that people are out there doodling his weird little face #on post it notes corners of scrap paper and at work #I do that too but then again I'm rotating him in my head at least fifteen times a day so I kind of have to #the WHISKERS ah #scruffy little animal #putting him in my pocket and taking him to the grocery shop as we speak #thank you! and I'm glad you've been enjoying my art!#I've always had a little difficult relationship with pinterest because a lot of art gets uploaded there without proper sources or credit #and whenever a piece of yours gets reposted sourcelessly often enough you kind of end up losing ownership to it which isn't fun #it gets used without artist's consent as bootleg prints and shirts and tattoos and such #but lately a lot of people have come to me saying they discovered my stuff through pinterest #or had seen my character there and recognized it later when they came across one of my own posts #and it's always very nice to hear that I'm glad you've found me here #but I'm getting very off topic didn't mean to ramble like that #gift art #answered #wwildcatt #own characters #Machete

#kirby #daily kirby #my art #digital #hal laboratory #nintendo #so like aliexpress used to have a terrible reputation in terms of like quality and truth in advertising and such right #but like. amazon and etsy are swamped with bootleggers and dropshippers now too #so I figured like. can't be any worse right?#besides I know how to double check descriptions and measurements and examine images critically #I've shopped shady sites before like back when banggood was the only place to get those cute diy miniature kits #(now you can get them at regular craft store chains which is Wild to me)#but I have never opened aliexpress because everyone was always just like 'Never Go There'#(but then again these days folks are doing massive temu hauls left and right)#(so clearly norms have changed even if common perception of aliexpress has not)#I open it up and I immediately find the rug I spent an entire day hunting for unsuccessfully earlier in the month.#and a ton of incredible bootleg kirbs.#and a style of hair clip I've been hunting for for *years*.#soooo I spent the entire day in a pastel fugue lol #(I have not spent any money yet but I'm probably gonna)#(so like I can't confirm that you're not gonna get scammed or whatever just like. use common sense.)#(don't trust sale prices read descriptions/reviews when available and try to avoid work stolen from independent artists)#(that's usually gonna be on printed stuff like phone cases and posters)#(and tbh I have no qualms with stolen official art as long as the quality is as advertised)#(but there's a big difference between stealing from Multinational Corporation and stealing from Some Guy)#anyway done rambling now <3 #favorites

kissing vs no kissing shows

+ bonus

#for those who didn't know this is what i was referring to earlier #if the no kissing shows have a million fans i'm one of them etc etc #there's just a lot to unpack here #vampire christian in the 2nd gif you will always be famous!!!!#at least aaron had longer hair at that time so he could mask it a bit better #bc in the finley bootleg it looks so much worse wsdkfsdfk #i get they did this bc of covid but they're still so close to each other so how is that better #i'm not complaining i just find it so funny #and i need everyone to be aware of this #i think my life mission is to collect every no kissing boot for every show that has been recorded #moulin rouge! the musical #moulin rouge broadway #aaron tveit #ashley loren #ricky rojas #robyn hurder #broadwayedit #musicaltheatreedit #moulin rouge #*

sometimes being a broadway fan is "spot the wild grainy ben tyler cook in the ensemble of a booleg"

#also i discovered & find it kinda funny that he's apparently understudied for an andrew keenan-bolger role twice #in newsies and tuck everlasting #ben tyler cook #broadway #bootlegs #musical theatre #mean girls the musical #tuck everlasting #newsies

I saw these bootleg "Finding Nemo 2" figurines in a dollar store today. At first glance, there wasn't anything particularly notable about it, besides the yellow Marlin and incorrect sequel name.

But the BACK of the box is where things get weirder…

The back has promo renders of the Finding Nemo characters on it. But the one of Nigel carrying Dory and Marlin in his beak has been edited to have them all be covered in oil!

It turns out this pic and the Finding Nemo 2 logo were swiped from a series of parody posters made by blogger Chibiboto.

The posters were made in 2010 in response to the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill, highlighting how much damage it had done to the environment. I guess the bootleggers looked up "Finding Nemo 2" on Google, and mistook the Nigel one for a real poster!

if you havent seen hadestown in person (or otherwise) i need you to know that in the center of the stage a giant circle is inlaid. (two, if you want to be precise) it can spin in place, and the middle is a platform that raises up and down at certain points in the show. you can see it unmoving here in this gifset. it makes for some truly captivating choreo

but more importantly is what it silently adds to the layers of metaphor;

hadestown as being an inherently cyclical, doomed to repeat story. we keep telling it, hermes tells us, despite the ending always being the same. (we gasp, the audience, every time orpheus turns around. why?)

hadestown, taking place on a stage with a turning table. where the characters keep walking in circles, over and over, forever.

#idk how common knowledge this is its just. if you mainly listen to the soundtrack you NEED to know #and god the way characters will face each other in the circle #or walk away #RAGHRHARHGRHG #find a bootleg that shows it if you can #highly recommend #hadestown #corvi caws #hadestown broadway #its also fun to note that the first inner circle can spin too in the opposite direction at the same time #so you have outer layer that spins . inner layer that spins opposite . and innermost layer that raises up or down #sorry im trying to make it really clear i cant tell if im explaining it well LMAO

babe wake up, new musical that’s going to make it so fucking hard to keep it pg at youth group just dropped

#npmd #nerdy prudes must die #like okay. it’s worse than ride the cyclone in this respect #bc the context is at least ‘oh it’s kinda a competition musical’ be it’s a bootleg bootlegs get taken down #but i refuse to talk about this musical with any of the youth who aren’t in year 12 (i think that’s appropriate)#bc it’s not just starkid it’s literally a ghost having sex #and i sing all the time and grace is like the first girl character in my vocal range #and. oh my gosh #and i KNOW people at my church watch starkid and i’m sure one of those kids will find npmd #and what would i say ‘love it too but that is not appropriate subject matter’#do i lie?? like. ugh it’s going to be So Hard #i have talked about rtc but in my defence that girl was older. and not part of our youth group #trying So Hard to keep it child safe

the way I avoided rewatching bfu videos for years bc I’d rather support Ryan and Shane in their solo venture… silver lining is that I can watch bfu again I guess

#there is no ethical consumption under capitalism stream bfu #better yet find bootleg copies of bfu and watch that #watcher

I regret to say the Andrew Garfield/Cynthia Erivo/Andrew Scott 1984 audio play is very good

#I regret to say it because it’s on audible but if I find a bootleg I’ll share it.
