There was actually a recent interview where they said it’s basically cute Kirby sells in Japan while badass Kirby sells in America

this is a personal request from me to please not support cosplayfu, a cosplay website which has begun selling replicas of my attack on titan lolita redesign concept and passing them off as their own. They’ve watermarked all of the images, including my artwork, with their own site logo, and even deliberately cropped out my url from the pictures. i was not asked for permission to do this and i am not receiving any credit for this, let alone any compensation for the use of my design.

i would like people to be aware that this website is profiting off of a stolen concept to which they have no right, and to advise others considering buying from them to reconsider. i’m actually really hurt that my art is being ripped off like this without my consent and i would like people to be aware that this is really wrong.

you don’t have to reblog this, but i would appreciate helping try and spread the word to other snk fans, thank you!

edit: this doesn’t mean i don’t give permission for cosplayers to make the outfit themselves, because i totally support that! i also have a close irl friend who has godtier costume-making skills and has expressed an interest in offering to commission the design on my behalf, so if you find that idea interesting, i’d suggest checking her out!

edit #2: cosplayfu has passwordlocked the actual lolita dress itself so it can no longer be directly accessed, but it is still listed on their site and there’s been no word about the changes to their preorders. they also added a caption to the bottom of the boots reading: “This shoes original designer is http://estellecampanella.tumblr.com/ . (n__n)“ they have not taken the product down either, however

edit #3: yes i am considering pursuing legal action but i’m literally just about to head off for a con in another city for the weekend and this all accumulated on me on a very short notice, so any more updates will likely be delayed. thank you!

You know, if I was a parent, it would be at this point that I’d rip the game from his hands, stash it in my backpack, and force him to enjoy history goddamnit. This vacation cost a lot and the game is only for the hotel and travel time.

imagine trying to force someone to think that stonehenge is fun

“look kid we’re a ridiculous distance from a bunch of broken rocks how could you possibly be bored this is totally an appropriate vacation spot for someone this age.”

Ah, fuck. Shit like this always gets to me, the tired old technophobe spiel and maybe it’s because it’s so rampant in my field (I work in outdoor education), but it just starts feeling so goddamn derivative after a while, nouveau hipsters who think the world is ending because kids play too many video games.

But what we’re missing is that this kid’s parents bought him his SP and a copy of Leaf Green (the employee at the game store said it would be perfect for him) so that he would shut up on the plane ride over and not bother them in the hotel, imagining that as soon as they touched down the kid would put the thing down and appreciate all the castles and grass and cafes and operas and rocks and ~*~culture~*~, because that’s what culture and history are, right? A bunch of old rocks.

What they missed is this kid staying up way past his bedtime the night before their plane flew out on message boards and chat rooms trying to find out which is the best starter, finally settled on a Squirtle and named it Rocky, and right now while his parents are appreciating rocks he and Rocky have got to save the whole world from Team Rocket because he’s a hero and that’s what heroes do and he’s so invested in this story and this world, he thinks he might have found the place where Machops live, why should he care about a guide droning on about Romans and a bunch of old people taking pictures?

But please, go ahead and take the Gameboy from him, break it in half and remind him that you spent A LOT on this vacation, and HOW DARE HE. You will FORCE him to ENJOY his GODDAMN VACATION because it’s REAL LIFE. Wonder why he’s so upset, you’re the one who spent money on the thing? All he invested in it was time and emotion, and those things are definitely less important than money, when you’re eight. Wonder why he’s so disconnected from education, when you’ve managed to turn it into a punishment, a deprivation, a source of misery? Go on and repeat the tired old technophobe line until you’re red in the face, share it on Facebook and reblog it on Tumblr and retweet it on Twitter: nobody but you knows how to live ~*~REAL LIFE~*~ because we’re so busy exploring imaginary worlds.

Kids don’t just need to be taught when to use devices, we as their parents and guardians also need to be taught why they use devices. If a kid is more invested in Kanto than Stonehenge, why? How can we change our approach so kids ~*~appreciate real history~*~? And if not, can’t we just accept and appreciate that this kid will go back to the third grade, say “Yeah, I saw Stonehenge, it was neat, but who wants to trade a Haunter for my Machoke?”

the commentary!

The Himba wear little clothing, but the women are famous for covering themselves with otjize, a mixture of butter fat and ochre. The mixture gives their skins a reddish tinge. This symbolizes earth’s rich red color and the blood that symbolizes life, and is consistent with the Himba ideal of beauty.
