pisces season bday wishlist
a little celebration ❤️🔥
Hey girlies! I almost feel like I should apologize for posting twice in one week (what is this? can anyone explain?), but I WON’T even though some of you, I’m sure, are feeling like this seeing me pop up in your inboxes again:
And the answer is, yes! I’m writing all the time. And when I’m not writing, I am window-shopping and pining after the most esoteric bullshit. So I thought what better way to combine my love for pisces season with my bad habits than with a little Pisces Season Gift Guide for all my fishy lovers out there 🐬
Listen, we tried it in 2019 (and failed), but in 2024, we’re all gonna be cowgirls. With Beyonce and Lana both dropping country albums, it’s time to saddle up and ride. What are we riding? I guess that’s your choice 🤠 But no cowgirl fit would be complete without a cowboy hat, and I have found the perfect one depicting our Scene Hot Topic Queen, Emily the Strange.
Existential dread on the range? Yes, please.
Oil zine by Syd Goblin aka Molly Dwyer
Ok no one get this for me because I already ordered my copy, but you should all buy Molly Dwyer’s newest zine for yourselves.
I recently DIY’ed a zine shelf to finally display my cherished zines and mini comics, and honestly, it’s reinvigorated my love for zine collecting. I’ve had my eye on Molly’s work for a while, which looks deranged, creepy, and heartfelt, so I can’t wait to get my copy of her newest zine in the mail.
This skirt looks like someone’s Xerox machine threw up, and I love it. While I’m not one to wear white, the sinister clowns, nuclear explosions, and suicidal Crumb swipe on this skirt has me daydreaming about wearing it all spring.
Dirtbag X Lace Bear Ear Hoodie
I found this artist on TikTok and I’m obsessed. Her reworks of oversized sweatshirts and hoodies are modern rococo masterpieces that remind me of scrapbooking with my grandma. And while I am slightly sad that I’m not ready to shell out $300 on a hoodie right now, I would if it was in my budget this month.
Creepy Teeth Bear from Sleeping Guillotine
I found this brand on our last trip to Japan and I really feel like I’m going to pass away if I don’t get my hands on one of these little guys.
They are perennially sold out and, since I can’t read Japanese, I have no idea when they get restocked or if they are made with actual teeth or not. Can you imagine walking around Ohio with one of these tucked under your arm? I can because I want that girl to be me.
Boring ass autobio trash by Heather Loase
Heather Loase is another cartoonist I’ve been watching, and her zine Boring ass autobiography trash basically sums up how I feel about “autobio” comics these days. However, hers look far from boring and, in fact, seem like the hit of dopamine I need for my long winter days indoors.
Every other week I find myself adding and removing this choker from my cart on eBay, but I might just cave and get it for myself. I’ve decided to commit myself to Vivi as the designer whose work I collect for the rest of my life. Plus, I can’t let Timothee Chalamet have everything I want.
Ok that’s everything I’ve been coveting. Let me know in the comments what esoteric bullshit you’ve been wanting <3

Why... WHY am I so deeply tempted by that Emily the Strange hat? Why?? I wasn't even an Emily girl... was I repressing it? :0
