Shits Annual Old Inventory Sale (oops this shoulda been done during spring)

So with the arrival of our foster dog, my executive dysfunction has FINALLY taken a critical hit, which means I can get working towards shit I've been trying to deal with since February!

(ie killing old inventory and designing/releasing new pieces)

Doing a 30% off sale for these prints that are either a) going to be taken fully out of rotation or b) going for a bit of sabbatical before I redesign them to look significantly cooler/up to scratch with my current abilities

When these bad boys are gone, they are GONE. If you dm me for custom requests to buy a dead print I'll do so for you but the general listing will die when inventory is out. I've hyperlinked the shop listings to their bolded titles.

First Paragraph of My Immortal - now I THOUGHT I'd purged my home of these prints LAST year but there are STILL FOUR STRAGGLER SETS LEFT that I found underneath some old renn faire gear in pristine condition so. Here they are. On sale. I wish to be free of my curse

Naval Seal Copypasta - Ahhh old friend, it has been a journey, for you are a meme of such tenure older than even the porn ban and one of my first designs, but today I free you. There are 2 copies of the first page only and 9 copies of the full three piece set remaining, I submit you to the void

Man Hook Hand Hook Car Door - To be honest, it's 2023 and this one has never been a super popular piece in the first place, and with 7 prints left I thought it best to let her go for the sake of space

Penis - I put wayyyyy too much hutzpah designing this piece in the first place and getting prints of it done cleanly were weirdly difficult, so I'm just gonna be cutting and running on this piece - props to anyone who can find allllll of the dong jokes I've tried to weave into the piece tho! There's 10 prints left, and out of those one is a weird and fucked up misprint with which i will be including a free sticker just for funsies

Limerick Rolled- This is a sabbatical one, I designed it years ago with MUCH less experience than I have today re: text spacing and would like to put her under a redesign. There are only 2 of these bad boys left, and I'll try to get her redesign up with all the others when I release 'em.

Do Good Recklessly - Another sabbatical design, I'd like to neaten this one out and rework the illumination a bit more cleanly. There's 8 prints left in my supplies, and I'll also try to get the redesign out with all the new print designs I've got planned for this summer

I like to imagine that Jon first met Gerry in this context and only much much later connected the dramatic goth to Gerard Keay

Yeah, I like old memes.

This follows up The Tiger Poem, and The Demon Stoplight Poem. Original is by @plaid-n-converse in 2016.

Literal translation:

sir-youth said-I

the-man door hand

sir-youth said-I²

the-folded.over-dart³ canoe⁴ (blow)gun⁵

Transliteration:

ʔa-ch'am-Ø ʔu-waj ʔu-ch'ok a‧n-eet

ʔaj-ch'ok che‧ʔ-een

ʔu-wi‧nik pa‧sil k'ab

ʔaj-ch'ok che‧ʔ-een

ʔu-pak-jul ju‧kuub pu'w

-

Character Transliteration (ALL CAPS are characters that stand for full words, lower case are syllabic):

ʔa-ch'a-CH'AM-ma ʔu-wa-WAJ ʔAJ-ch'o[ko] ʔa-ne-ta

ʔAJ-ch'o-ko che-ʔe-na

ʔu-WINIK-ki pa-si-li K'AB

ʔAJ-ch'o[ko] che-ʔe-na

ʔu-pa-ka-ju-lu ju-ku-bi pu-wa

Notes:

¹ 'waj' is the term for any food made with maize dough. I've seen it translated as 'tamale' by linguists, but the term seems to refer to a general category similarly to 'bread'

² To allow the translation to match YMCA meter, I added an extra 'I said, "Young man"' (only 2 of the last 6 words are a single syllable in Classical Maya)

³ 'jul' is a dart/spear/any other piercing tool (but not a needle). I felt a 'folded over/bent downwards piercing tool' fit 'hook' okay

⁴ 'jukuub' is 'canoe', and the closest analog for 'car' I could find

⁵ 'pu'w' is the term for 'blowgun', and has extended it's meaning to 'shotgun' in quite a few modern Maya languages

was mostly thinking about Eren from aot, ik giving him a redemption arc would be, well, difficult but in my AU he got isekai'd to the Sailor moon's world and is currently working in Tokyo in St. Elisabeth Catholic Orphange for Disabled Children to atone for his transgressions
