Preorder will go live on my kofi at 1:00 PM EST on April 6th!

Shipping is 6 USD for United States, 20 USD for Worldwide. Shipping is possible to any country covered by USPS. If your country has any specific shipping stipulations that you know of, when it comes time for the preorder you'll have my email to contact me about any of those extra concerns!

There will be 100 made; manufacturing is currently underway for the lil guys. I'll be sure to update my kofi with further info about the process as it goes along!

A treat for my fine Tumblrians: since I only have 69 of these beautiful new Effin' Birds shirts available, I figured I'd give you first dibs before those monsters on Instagram buy them all to resell them at a profit. (Feel free to buy them and resell them at a profit, though, capitalism sucks ass and we all have to eat.)

I'll also have a limited number of them with me at Fan Expo Vancouver next weekend, and possibly at my next few shows after that. You can find my upcoming appearance schedule right here.

HI!! started listening yesterday and i am already obsessed with this show. i was wondering if you would ever have any posters of the logo available? it’s so cool and… the autism… i need!

hi! welcome! i am procrastinating something and so prepare for WAY MORE INFORMATION than you asked for!

we do in fact have a merch store, and actually as of the 7th of February 2024, there is a sale happening. i checked and while unfortunately we don't have posters of the show logo, you can still get that logo printed on:

a variety of shirt types in a wide range of colors

stickers

pins

magnets

pillows

phone cases

totes

a few of these pictured below:

you can find more options by clicking here and scrolling down.

also, while we don't have show logo posters, we do have other Starship Iris poster designs available:

"you make plants grow in cold empty space"

"landers never stand down"

"SPACE BEES"

"penguins get scared too"

official birdie and the swan song merch

some designs might not make sense to you yet, depending on where you are in the show, but they will. oh, they will. (except maybe the penguins shirt; i think i'm the only one who really thinks it's funny.)

with the current sale (which is active for like 62 more hours):

a mini print is 6.8 x 12 inches and $7 plus shipping a small print is 12 x 18 inches and $11 plus shipping a medium print is 16 x 24 inches and $16 plus shipping (they're not all available in this size bc it's pretty big!)

you can also get these designs printed on the aforementioned list of objects. some examples:

the SPACE BEES design is far and away the most popular one for this show, a fact which continues to fill me with joy. i like to think that somewhere out there, a SPACE BEES mini poster hangs in a place of honor in a dorm room, thoroughly confusing someone's roommate.

Reigen and Mob are especially fun characters to plop into other story’s worlds because their dynamic is easily transplanted while also being unique to them. Reigen’s whole shtick is that he’s conning people into thinking he’s a certain type of person and using apprenticing Mob based on that, so in MP100 AUs you always ask yourself “what is the espers’ minority population equivalent and how is Reigen pretending to be one?”

[lovekenney]

if you could rate the gallagher’s from worst to best what would your rating be? (only the siblings)

i wanna be able to rank them js in a list but idk if i can. So I was trying to decide if you were asking me if I could like, rank my personal favorite to least personal favorite.

but I eventually decided to do this, have it go from the worst person in general to the best person in general. And not have the answers simply be "I like debs the most so she Is gonna be last"

i have a whole list of reasons why i heavily dislike Fiona. it is honestly pretty long. so in my head i want to put her first but i also want to put lip first. but thinking back when i watched shameless I remember js being baffled by the shit she did. so i think i will go with Fiona as number one and lip js right behind her. like right behind her. or maybe js put them both in the same ranking.

1: Fiona & lip

2: whoever goes next

now i am trying to decide between Ian or Debbie for the next one. i love debs don't get me wrong and will almost always defend her. (key word: almost) but she has done some stuff that could be deemed as not very good.

soo i was thinking back on shitty things Ian Gallagher has done and then shitty things Debbie has done, and a lot of ians lead back to his bipolar. so for this i am gonna put Debbie as 2nd. (or third?) but part of me thinks she should js join lip and fiona. (/j)

i love debbie so much she is on of my all time fav characters (the other being mickey) but sadly this isnt a ranking of my favs but a ranking of shitty shit they have done. so debbie is gonna go there. (i do understand exactly why she does everything she does and how it is all mostly linked back to her parents plus fiona.)

so next i am gonna say ian. i never disliked ian while watching shameless he was always one of my favs. but getting more into the fandom after finishing shameless made me see him in a new light and not particularly a good light. ian has done some shitty things but thats the whole point of the show. so ian for 3rd (or fourth?)

bringing me to carl! carl wasn't that bad of a person if you just cut out white boy carl. in the first few seasons he is really painted as this just sociopath but also not at the same time. like cancer carl was so sad cause he was also sweet. but also he blowtorched cats. buttt he really was a sweetheart. like when Fiona was in jail or getting the house back. so, number 4th. (or fifth?)

and last but not least Liam. what a sweetie i love him with every bone in my body. And I mean, Liam is just a kid, he hasn't done anything wrong, he's like 11 in the last season.

so the list would be

1: fiona and lip

2: debbie

3: ian

4: carl

5: Liam

[fck-capitalism]

Think it is literally insane how such a huge number of our movies and tv shows are about people facing systems that don’t care about people and are 100% representations of capitalism

I would like to think these have sneakily been put through to subconsciously influence everyone to realise how bad things are, like I like the idea that without realising this huge capitalist corporation of Hollywood has been actively producing media that is essentially a bunch of how-to destroy capitalism handbooks

here's the 24th installment for this week's @galladrabbles prompt: ride by @shinygalaxyperson

catch up/read in full HERE -- updates weekly! [ read scene one in its entirety ON AO3 ]

“Fuck off. I gave the guy a hair cut!”

“That all you give him?” Tami smirks.

“Jesus Christ, lady, I’m a fucking professional!” Mickey balks, running a hand over his face, more to hide his blush than anything else.

“Speaking of, I got a client in ten and a bladder ruined by child-rearing, so what do you want? His number? His address? The time he gets off work?”

Well, shit. 

In all of his practice runs, Mickey had prepared for Tami to take him for a ride. Never expected her to hand the guy over on a fucking platter.

[joshua-wright]

It's on now. Please consider.

We've got a new book planned for Paper Cuts later this week, and it's a very exciting one! This tale, joining us by author permission, is one that I've been looking forward to since the moment I heard we can do it!

Drop by on Friday night, 8 pacific, 10 central, for Wheelers, by Matt Stephens! I've been really digging deep into Solarpunk as a genre of late, and the short story this is based on being practically my introduction to the concept! I'm absolutely ecstatic to be able to share this story with you all!

Once again, that's this Friday night, February 2nd, at 8 pacific, over at the link below! I'll post again when it hits the podcast feed!

(@wingsofachampion) Hiya! I think I wanna start reading the Warrior Skitty books, but I'm not allowed alone in the library here in Driftveil. Do you know of any libraries or bookstores that allow Pokemon like me, that I can fly to to read these books? -Tropius

ehehehehheheheheh

so! it turns out! that if you have trouble accessing a library, you can do digital ones! I can not in good conscience recommend piracy to someone who went on a search for hot singles in the area, because that's an advanced technique, but I use an app called libby to read online! You can check out ebooks, and sometimes even audiobooks to read, just like physical ones!

the revenue from the rub and tug being the only reason that kev was able to pay alan the $1,000 he owed him for the last two months…svetlana was really keeping the alibi afloat from the beginning

[effinbirds]

Two new enamel pins, plus restocks of two favorites and a special bundled price for all four. Grab them right now on the Effin' Birds store.

I'll have all four of these at live appearances starting with Megacon Orlando in a few weeks. Appearance schedule can be found on the front page of effinbirds.com.

I don't know why Mickey's afraid of moving to the West Side (I do, he's scared of disappointing Ian) when season 4/5 Mickey would've simply taken advantage of how many wellness scams he could pull on all those hipster millennials.

Whoof, sorry for the long post--now that I've worked out my thumbs, I think I'm going to rest for a while. Thankfully they refunded the flight voucher, so I'll be heading out tonight. Also, please feel free to check out my Etsy-V shop for locally-made Pokeballs, as well as the experimental ones I've posted about before on this blog (and so many more, guys--I'm not even kidding)

In the meantime, my recent jobs from surveying the Hoenn landscape from above will keep me more than well-paid for a while.
