Fans who profit from art of someone else's creation are not fans and their tears are delicious and so so good.

There're a lot of shirts that just straight up have Griffin's photo on them. Also, one is a Peepums' Nastygum shirt, which is actually available on a shirt already available at the Max Fun store on Topatoco.

I mean, I don't see anything wrong with commissioning an artist to draw a picture of a character.

Individual commissions are great. Mass-market sales of merch are not. At least, that's been the consensus in the fandoms I'm in.

I dunno, I like the t-shirt with Pee Wee Herman on it that just says "PRIMO gently caress BOY". Certainly something I can see myself having an opportunity to wear.

the TAZ specific merch section is much higher quality, and was the subject of the original tweet. And I hope it all gets removed.

Night Vale was fighting to stop fan merch sellers on these sites at one point as well.

Seriously. The one with Griffin's face on it is so bad, it would probably look a little better if you literally printed a picture of Griffin onto a piece of paper and taped it to the front of your t-shirt. I cannot imagine buying something from there.

Probably because he's the littlest brother and I bet he spent a lot of time as a kid wanting to do whatever the big brothers were doing.

I don't think they've ever officially explained the nicknames but based on my experience with younger siblings that's the most likely explanation

Yeah on a recent thing (TTAZZ2 I think?) he said it's a baby name his parents gave him because he looked like Ditto from Hi and Lois. He also said it's very weird when fans call him that.

Apparently Griffin looked like Ditto from the Hi & Lois comic when he was a baby. They've mentioned it here and there but here's one source:

The brothers appeared on an episode of Bullseye with guest host Linda Holmes (from Pop Culture Happy Hour, which you should listen to). They talk about how uncomfortable it can be having so much of themselves out there (between their various shows, we see a lot of their most important relationships), and Justin in particular identifies it as something he'll probably come to regret in the future.

Its the Hemingway baby shoes of stdh for sure, but I'm honestly more concerned with the idea that "Juice" comes from drool rather than it being a cute mispronunciation of the first half of Justin.

I spent a good hour being lost in Undercity when I started playing after cataclysm, so I expect the finale to be long.

I was rewatching Second Life, Second Chances, and the fact that there is a naked avatar running around with the name "barrybluejeans" is an incredible coincidence.
The first time I watched the voting party it was on lovely laptop speakers. In the scene where he asks everyone to say Totino's over and over, I didn't notice until a rewatch that one dude in the background was just screaming "TOTIIIIINOOOOOOS!!!!!" at the top of his lungs a bunch of times.

Regarding D&D module chat, what's good these days? I haven't played in a long time (sans Pathfinder) but I have no idea what the module scene is anymore. Is Ravenloft still around?

or do what i do and roll your own homebrew campaign from scratch while wildling stealing from cosmic horror and tokusatsu tropes, all in an effort to impress upon your players that death is inevitable and facing your own inevitable mortality with dignity is a healthy way to live.

If that's the case our DM has been very soft on us because the only "death" has been temporary, intentional, and story-related and nobody else has even been close. Two of us are pretty green players so maybe he's just being nice.
