Fandom's Come Knocking
Okay, did you guys know people in this world make stuff of some of us? Apparently the yetis make toys of us on their own if none exist but also imitate ones that do exist if kids want them.
[Branch is hopping along a table of merch that is meant to mimic exactly the merch of him in stores. A lot of it is actually bigger than he is. He shows off the dolls with his tiny little wrist comm. They look even weirder at that perspective.]
Now that I know they're not ritual effigies, the toy thing is kind of funny. Weird, but funny.
Look at this. Look.
[He holds up his comm so the camera picks up some absolutely hideous toys.]
Like, who is this guy? I wouldn't even know who this was if it wasn't labeled with my name. Like, some random guy from the village maybe. I've never dressed like that in my life.
[He points the camera at another.]
This one is the closest to actually looking like me and it still has the random skull symbol hair thing. What's up with that? [A pause as his face comes back in view. It screws up in thought.] ...Okay, actually I don't hate it.
[Because even though he's a much happier person than he once was, he's still slightly an edgelord. Just slightly.]
[He looks upward and similar skull designs suddenly appear in his own hair, thanks to his ability to change its color. Maybe that explains why some of the dolls have black hair and some have blue (if manufacturing inconsistencies aren't to blame).]
[(It's actually not but he's not about to explain the subtleties of troll coloration when it comes to emotional state.)]
Seriously, you should check it out, and see if the yetis made stuff based on you. It's hilarious.
[ooc: If none exists IRL, people can make up imaginary merch, though all merch at the Pole would be for kids or teens. The stuff made purely by the yetis would largely be decent-looking and accurate, uglier stuff would be based on designs existing in the game world because well, that's what the kid pointed at in the store. Googling themselves would produce other merch for other demographics, as well as let people find out about any internet fandom. People can feel free to thread hop a lot because the point of this is probably going to be a lot of pointing and laughing.]

Re: cw: implied minor/adult shipping in the context of fan-made works
Right? I've been on the internet, I know what's waiting for me. I want to be able to look my packmates in the eyes when I get back, thanks.

[This is a bit.]
Also be careful who hears you say that, I think some people would take it as a challenge.
[Is Elle included? Maybe, depends on the day.]
no subject
He's super old!

One word: DILF.
no subject
One, still eww. Two, it would be GILF at least!
no subject
[She's terrible.]

[Spiritually she is sticking her tongue out at Stacia.]
no subject
[Gosh, she hasn't threatened to tell on someone in ages. Nostalgia!]
no subject
Or Dan, but he'd probably agree with me. Miguel, maybe? Is he an authority figure?
[It's very normal to give someone suggestions on who they should rat you out to.]
no subject
[She shakes a finger at Elle.]
No, I'm going to tell on you to someone who knows how to make fun of you for it. I don't know who that is yet, but you know me in the future, so I will know who that is at some point!
no subject
I hope you have the best of luck with that.
[Her pack would join in on the joke. Elle isn't particularly close with Stacia in her time, but she probably comes closest to what she's looking for. Oh, the irony.]
