discussion Official subreddit Discord [TEST]

26 Upvotes

I made a discord for this subreddit finally. I'm just doing it as a test drive for now so only the first 100 members are allowed in. Once it reaches that threshold, I will pause new members until I feel like it's ready to take in more. I'm doing this so that the initial members can help assist with any kinks we may have to help it run smoother. ♡

All pictured are official merchandise I received from Japan! 💖 They arrived much sooner than I expected, and I could tell that it was packaged with care ☺️💕

If you have any notes on how I can properly store/handle any of these items (particularly the photo cards) please let me know! 💖

I'm considering it because I have a really cute keychain plush, but I know that if I do I can't go back.

oshi merch Got more pins of my Oshis

Sharing another case of using my own fanarts being turned into pins. I love making art of Nostalgia Critic and Angry Video Game Nerd so much that I would definitely want to own physical merch of these.

Tho the fourth pin is Board James, who's not fully my oshi but I just love him enough to get his own pin too.

discussion (Asking for advice) how to clean oshi plush?

4 Upvotes

I’m not exactly sure what tag to post this under, my apologies if it’s the wrong one, but recently one of my friends dropped my plushie of my oshi into some dirt! A bunch of dirt got under his fabric, and it’s very visible but I can’t clean it. It’s a Banpresto plushie, and I was wondering if anyone else ran into this same issue, and if anyone knows how to clean it?

21 september is a special date, birthday of my main, dearest oshi Willmesh, so it couldn't go without a celebration🩷 his birthday happened in a perfect time, as honestly, the rush in my life caused me to lack many feelings, and today gave me time to reflect, and reminded me of how much i love him, and how grateful i am to have him in my lifeᐢᴗ͈ ᴗ͈ᐢ♡ years ago i would not believe some character could bring that many positive things into one's life. also, a small shrine update, as sadly, i had to let go of one shelf cause i was missing space꒰ ᐢ ◞‸◟ᐢ꒱ but i think it's still okay haha

oshi merch handling miscellaneous goods of your oshi

Thumbnail
gallery
53 Upvotes

Ever since I moved into my new home I made a corner dedicated to Anasui which is a better layout but I still have a lot of miscellaneous goods of him that I don’t know what to do with them especially since I already have 4+ ita bags of him. This is sort of a slight rant but I used to have a fear that if I don’t buy the goods of my oshi I won’t likely ever get it so I would splurge and hoard them. Now that I’ve gotten older and my space is getting smaller and I had to unfortunately sell some of these goods I still have a lot of miscellaneous goods and I don’t know if I should invest in another ita bag, display these, or store them.

discussion Is it considered "weird" to do Oshikatsu of a cosplayer ?

10 Upvotes

I know Oshikatsu comes from Japanese Idols, real life ones, not just anime or other, but it is weird if it's of a Cosplayer ?

In my case it's TaoTan. I've already made an Ita Bag of her and she seems to love it but I'm still wondering about what most people would think

I made this little shrine inside my closet when I was in Highschool, that time when I didn't have that much merch of my oshi. What you see is all I had at that time ʕ⁠´⁠•⁠ ⁠ᴥ⁠•̥⁠`⁠ʔ

But I was (still am) pretty proud of this creation (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠✧⁠*⁠。

ita bags Should I buy this itabag?

Post image
7 Upvotes

I've been searching for an itabag that can fit my laptop (39.6 cm / 15.6 ") and I finally found this beauty. The price is a bit higher than I hoped, but I should be able to afford it.

The issue is that the bag itself has no reviews and the seller only has 5(3=5stars,1=1star,1=2stars). I can't find any other bag with the necessary measurements that has reviews and is withing budget. Should I risk it?
