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

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.

🔍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!

🧸so I have been seeing them EVERYWHERE, and I still haven’t fallen into the trap yet. I did however fall for the whole Sonny Angel trap and now I have multiple dupes because i literally kept accidentally buying fakes (hate you eBay).
like has my frontal lobe developed lol? or have I just not financially recovered from my fake Sonny angels?

I grew up loving this movie and I rewatch it every time I'm feeling a little bit burnt out or directionless
I know the main character is only like thirteen, but the movie perfectly captures the feeling of moving out of your hometown and trying to figure out who you are and what you want to do, so it hits it even harder in your late teens/early 20s imo haha
It's also just so cozy! I love the art and music

love using it for planners, trackers, to-do lists, and even brainstorming for creative projects
there's enough customization for it to feel personal, but not SO much that I can endlessly procrastinate with the customization features lmao
as an android user who doesn't have icloud, I also love an app where I can log in on both mobile and desktop
