ANTI REC: LABUBUS
What the hell is all that,.. if you want to have a cute little guy to put on your bag you can just make one and it won’t cost literally 30 bucks??? They are poisoning your mind by telling you you need a specific little guy for your bag. There are a million little guys that are just as good. Go get a stuffed animal from goodwill and put string on it! they are trying to sell you 21st century beanie babies and saying they have value because they’re collectible - it isn’t true ! Respect yourself!

Just an opinion here, and it may be because of their faces and size, but something about collecting those doesnt give me the same feeling of someone collecting sonny angels. the discourse is lightly reminding me of collecting bearbricks

WELL ITS NOT GENZ SLANG FOR LOBOTOMY
they are these collectable little guys a lot of ppl attach to purses and such that have become a huge status symbol seemingly out of the blue. they have also gotten a bad rap since they are 1) lowkey kinda ugly and 2) specifically designed to make u spend money when u def dont need them. like it is a capitalism trap fs especially since the blind box model is kinda leaning towards this "gambling for children" thing which is fucked up. in my brain the response reminds me a lot of the stanley cup craze with ppl going out of their way to get as many varieties as possible and go crazy on release days with phsyical violence at stores and such. also apparently a lot of ppl are freaking out and thinking they are demonic either bc of idk satanism and or the doll's theoretical resemblance to an ancient mesopotamian demon called pazuzu which is a whole other thing i had to google so idk. anyway here is this one thread post this ask reminded me of.

Littlest pet shops
These little pieces of plastic are a staple of any childhood. Very unfortunate that these have to cost so much nowadays, but that is a price needed to be paid in order to put these cuties in a little basket
10/10 some are ugly, some are cute, all expensive

FUNNY STORY
the first I ever heard of Labubu was the whole "propaganda I'm not falling for" trend and for a hot minute I was convinced that some company started the trend as a weird reverse psychology way of advertising their collectables
but really I mean they're just little blind box collectibles. def not the first of their kind. they're cute, just way too overhyped right now. I gotta say, this is one of the more confusing trends I've seen recently though 😭 no clue why this of all things ended up blowing up so much

Allowing things to have their season
Gazpacho only in the late summer, persimmons only in the winter, etc. just because we can import anything from anywhere anytime doesn’t mean we should. Nothing is special if you can have it whenever you want it.

BECOMING COMPLETELY ENAMORED WITH AN OBJECT
So much so that you stare at it like gollum and fantasize about passing it down to your unborn children. I got a new bracelet at the antique store
