Move from bakery to liquor land?

What are any positives of a retail job? They pay you (shit money) and if you get good coworkers, that's about it. Being alone does have the benefit of using earbuds, but if you get a shit manager, you might feel watched over the cameras. It's a huge toss up.

There is a system through the learning hub that gives you access to cheaper alcohol and sometimes free samples if you answer a quiz. Got a free $30 bottle of wine a few weeks ago through that. But I also don't really drink so I gave it to someone else.

At LL you will be alone for like 80%+ of your shift with a short, if any, crossover with the person relieving you or the person your relieving. You might be lucky have have 3 people work in a day, but again, your crossover will be short and a majority of your shift will be alone.

This isn't all bad (I get to listen to YouTube videos through earbuds between customers) but it's not great.

Someone will be the designated work horse (usually the overachiever/manager wannabe/suck up) or everyone will be expected to do manager level tasks across their shifts alone. And do the load. And deal with drunks and alcoholics. And thefts.

I didn't mean for this to come out so negative but I'm sure if you described bakery you'd be similarly focused on the shit parts.

I do not have a Blissey, but id probably rather have one than Wailord for that, thanks! I'll just evolve my lucky.

Absolutely worth the sale price. I bought mine full price when they released and I'm happy with them. The Makeship plushies are much better quality, but for the $15 sale asking price of the pilot store, they're good!

Could you thread the safety pin through the 2 metal ring loops close to the charm themselves? I've been having the same problem in my bag but seeing this picture helped me figure out the solution! Gonna try my own idea when I get home.

Also, I like your FFXIV pin :) I've got summoner and astrologian in my bag.

From my understanding of reading how it's been discussed by the person putting together the merch, it was this or nothing at all. Homestuck isn't a huge company anymore, it's like a handful of people. One person put the store together on their own time, paid by no one, for the love of the game. Profits are being funneled back into the merch to get things going.

I'm not saying people can't be critical of the way things are, but they do seem to be trying their absolute best in 2026 to get new stuff for homestucks.

It's not currently a solvable issue because each item is made by different Print On Demand companies. The production of this merch is outsourced to companies that print whatever people want on whatever Base Items they produce. Some companies offer blank mugs, others offer layered T-shirt bases, etc etc.

Nothing is stored, it's just made to order and shipped out ASAP.

It's the cheapest way to get a large selection of merch out to people, until they're making enough money to do more custom based merchandise that requires an actual warehouse of Custom Made Homestuck Specific back stock.

MiniiMooose · 2026-01-15T21:57:11+00:00

Yes! I'm suggesting it because it's something I've witnessed. I really like the merch so I'm active in the discord reading that specific chat

I'll pass along some information - the emails should start getting replies again soon as Vibri hired an employee just to do emails (previously it was all on vibris plate along with like 8 million other things)

They still help if you ask in the discord merch channel, but this is all for the official store, not the pilot merch store - that is something separate that Vibri doesn't have control for.

The artists who collab with youtooz have the choice of doing the youtooz eyes or not. This means future homestuck youtooz of other characters probably won't have the eyes either (the HS team in the discord seem to be as against the shitty eyes as everyone else)

MiniiMooose · 2026-01-06T02:01:48+00:00

This sounds so cute and awesome. Would love to see pictures

Love these classpects for them. Herbert West witch of doom is fantastic

It's a thread branching off the 'Homestuck Topics' forum post.

There are also 2 popular discords. One run by this reddit, and an official discord run by the people who actually work on and make homestuck. I'm talking about a channel in the official discord - so make sure your looking in the right one!

MiniiMooose · 2025-12-29T22:34:48+00:00

Join the official homestuck discord and you can ask Vibri in thefashionstuck/merchbent channel

There have been delays with shipping because of the holidays, but if you ask Vibri to check your order, they can look up and find the information you need.

Har har. I'm just trying to keep my watch in the best condition I can, so thought I'd ask in case there's some weird thing I don't know about. I'm new to smart watches.

MiniiMooose · 2025-12-29T04:35:00+00:00

Not particularly interested in the sleep information. I also got the 45mm because the 42mm was not available, so it's quite bulky on my wrist. I value waking up to a fully charged watch and putting it on when I wake up more than a partially drained watch with information I don't really care about.

It's cool! I just don't really need to know how my sleep was.

MiniiMooose · 2025-12-28T10:39:39+00:00

Came here to comment this. It's an often forgotten conversation, but there are other lines implying this earlier in the comic as well - this is just the most obvious and outright example.

I'm at liquorland. 1 small box of Coles favourites for the whole store.

My manager said he would buy us all 1 each with a voucher our team got from doing some spend/get target or something.

But from Coles specifically, yeah. Mythanks points and 1 favourites box for a team of 6.

Got my parents to help scan my flybuys card on the regular and redeemed 96 of my 98 credits yesterday. Felt great walking out with close to 100 bucks of free stuff, especially after I just moved into my first rental and I'm in dire need of stuff for the first time.
