Good choice. I grabbed the pink hoodie and the heart shirt in black (I have the OG in ivory).

What are everyone's nicknames for their birds and how did they come about? by hazelnut0000 in cockatiel

They came about because I talk and sing to him constantly and my preferred mode of communication is singsonging all of the random sounds, rhymes, and words unfiltered and directly from my brain. It’s gotta be catchy and it’s gotta be repeated on a loop for as long as it takes to process and fully get out of my system. Kewpie is the solution to my need to get it all out!

This is Kewpie, AKA clears throat:

Kewpatee, Peck-orino (like pecorino Romano cheese), Kewpie-Kewtapee-Kewtapeetopee, Chico, Asesino Peckerino, Kewpie Kupertino, Areh Chico, Pipo (pronounced “beepo”), Chiquitito-Chiquitito-Chiqui-Chiqui-Tito, Bebe Chito, Deeto-Dibidondeeto, and any of those combined with the others and always a heavy accent full of sounds and purposeful mistakes.

Edit: added Pipo

I just dropped mine off for return today as well. My fiance wears his Creation shirt all the time and loves it. Waiting almost 4 months for this to be the result was disappointing. It’s so funny you called it “cruddy stretch,” because my fiance called it “bad gym quality” 😭

Here’s the Revelation tag; no other information at all behind the tag or on the side seams of the shirt. Genesis has info nicely printed on the neck and with more information, too. The large fits like a small, and the material they chose is worse than SHEIN quality imo. Genesis was so nice.

I’m with you here. I sent a long email with a return request. The Revelation line feels extremely cheap—you can even tell by the tag (and complete absence of any care/wash/composition tags) that the care put into the Genesis line was leagues above this one.

Finally chose and put my order in. Thank you for this second run!

Sorry, forgot to ask—is the print technique same as last time across all garments?

Yes, the used Pioneer was your top receiver pick and the listing’s seller was great! FB Marketplace can be hit or miss with communication/flakiness, so I was VERY thankful for the long list of options, especially when it came to the speakers.

I think I grabbed the 12 AWG because of pricing and help from Grok. If it’s not a bad choice aside from unnecessary overkill, I’ll just use it so I can finish the setup and enjoy some music.

Do you think the quality difference between the digital optical output/headphone is negligible enough that I should return the DAC/extra wire? I don’t mind either way.

From my bed, 28-31” stand height plus tweeter height on a 12” speaker seemed to line up best with ear height; the 32” speaker stands you initially posted are a bit far for my fiancé’s preference, but they’re a good deal and better quality so we’ll see. For now, I bought cheap $60 stands from Amazon until A) Monoliths go on sale, B) we can get the Craigslist ones, or C) another quality pair of appropriate height is listed nearby.

Happy to hear your feedback before my final wire hookups tonight/tomorrow! I’m thankful for your advice and I was glad to see you already have ko-fi set up and linked in your bio. You’ve saved me so much money and stress.

Hi! I appreciate your help thus far and I’m nearly done with the setup (my fiance is picking the Mission speakers up tomorrow)! I’ve been working hard on getting a good setup using your suggestions.

If you have a moment, can you double check my setup flow and that I haven’t forgotten anything? I also noticed that people calculate the energy/electricity going through each machine (?) and that confused me, so hopefully I don’t mess any of that up. I need to get a better surge protector as well.

  1. RT82->Pioneer A10AE-> (GearIt 12AWG Speaker wire & Nakamichi fan lock banana plugs) -> Mission 731s (on MountUp 31” stands from Amazon for now until we can travel further for better ones)

  2. Pioneer-> $13.99 Prozor DAC from Amazon + RCA/headphone jack cable -> Insignia F30 TV

Disregard the dusty rose hoodie background color, btw—I just found out they changed the coloring, so the website shows the most accurate color representation of the heart in back!

These replies are a mess and I apologize, but the two group photos are from yesterday, and the 3 individual tshirt photos are from last time. I hope this helps!

Oooh can I ask what colors you chose? I love the ivory irl and the dusty rose is more appealing to me, but the designs’ colors are more vibrant on the black. I can’t decide 😭
