Cleaning up for 2026.

going into 2026 be like:

HI. It's been a hot minute~ as it says on the title I'll be cleaning up for 2026, starting with my blog and I'm only keeping my old merch roundup posts up as an archive (...until further notice, anyways). It's kinda crazy to think I've cataloged every official Fallout merch release from early 2019-December 2023, haha. Though I've been doing it for much longer on my Instagram since June 2014, it all started when I decided to step into Hot Topic and picked up the 'Vault Boy Thumbs Up' graphic t-shirts for myself and a friend. I've been kinda bored? Fatigued?? With a lot of the merch that's been released in recent years, it's a lot of the same stuff released in different variants/colorways and sheets of plastic heat transferred onto the most uncomfortable apparel blanks, a lot of the apparel is also insanely expensive for what it is, because how/why did graphic t-shirts become $30+ and hoodies upwards of $70-90+?!?! LMAO Especially when the quality is the same as it was years ago, or maybe even worse with these companies cutting corners while still trying to make more of a profit. Anyways, before I get completely side tracked rambling about shitty merch LMAO I kinda feel like I needed a new start this year hence me cleaning up my blog, as I want to get back into blogging again for this year for realsies this time. BlueSky is okay for micro-blogging I guess, Instagram is just kinda... there, and Tumblr I use mostly just to follow artists. 'Be the change that you wanna see yadda yadda' and honestly a blogging platform (and having a site in general) makes the most sense for what I wanna do. I kinda miss those days of the internet where everyone had their own little space/corner, I'm kinda seeing that come back with Neocities which is pretty neat imo. I do have a lot planned for my site which will have to wait until after I get moved onto a new platform but in the meantime here's some blog posts I'll be posting soon:

• Anime LA 2026 Artist Alley haul

• Anime LA 2026 Fallout photo shoot sets

• Fallout Gathering at Anime LA 2026

• Fallout fan merch by SmokingCyclops

• Fallout reuseable sticker books by KawaiiFoxCafe

• Call of Duty stickers, prints by BYNATENDO

• Call of Duty stickers, prints by Spearfrost

• Gaming/Hobby room update

Uhh, I know I'm forgetting some stuff but I think that's a good list to start off with LOL I'll also be doing accompanying videos when applicable, as getting back into vlogging and doing videos in general is also in the works along with blogging. Once I get some of this knocked out I'll be circling back to my Fallout Fan Celebration 2025 coverage, as there's still a lot I've yet to post, whoops!

I've been sitting on this post for about 45 minutes now, which will be a 2 minute read for you LMAO so I'll end it here as I have laundry to catch up on, then get back into editing photos. See ya in the next one~ -shiimapan
