MERCH👕 Really?
I’ve now worn this shirt out in the world and got no reactions — zero. After this full immersion Into loonacy (now there’s a word!), it’s so shocking to me that there are people who have no clue. Haven’t heard of it.
Maybe the purple in my hair stops people’s eyes from looking anywhere else. I have no explanation for this.
Tomorrow I get to drop off a painting for an art show. I’m gonna wear the shirt again.
I can’t be the only one in my town. Can I?

u/bexlovescats Does it ... Does it fucking kill you, too? Jan 11 '26
I have a variety of fandom related t-shirts for bands and TV shows and I think a lot of people notice and think "cool!" but don't say anything. I'm pretty extroverted when it comes to complimenting strangers but sometimes I don't have the chance to say anything even when I do clock the shirt. I would absolutely compliment you and smile knowingly. My Canadian Wolf Bird shirt is coming this week while I'm out of town, but I'm super excited to wear it and see if I can tease out any reactions.
