Kuro Neko ! 🐾

The wax melt portion of Kuro Neko is no longer in operation. If you have any questions, feel free to DM. You may find Esper's other ventures over these spots : ko-fi.com/esperianterra (tip jar, fandom assets free to use) www.redbubble.com/people/esper... + acggoods.com/store/kuro-n... (PoD)

-IMPORTANT- Gumroad has recently updated their website with the intention of phasing out the ability to manually edit your storefront and allowing you to only edit your storefront via AI agents. I will be dropping gumroad support entirely in the near future. More to come as I sort things out.

Discord is trying to add new AI features to their platform. They're asking people to fill out a survey on how they feel about AI and what "value" it would add to their platform. Please take a few minutes to fill it out and tell them to fuck off with AI. discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

FF artist friends, if you'd be interested in vending at a small scale Ontario fan event happening concurrently with FanFest - please shoot me a DM! Room for about 12 more ( a total of around 20 ) and would love to connect prior to applications to avoid an overage of applicants for so few spots.

BY THE WAY If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2. There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security. Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation." TURN IT OFF.

Looks like my shops are going to be closing for a bit. Canada Post (and our gov) is continuing to fuck around, wanting to close rural delivery and post offices and other BS. The workers are striking, rightfully so. Keeping an ear out for ways to help the workers. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

ACGGOODS changed their url stucture, you can find the store at acggoods.com/store/kuro-n... now !

TW: Pet death We had to help our cat pass almost a week ago. It was sudden, and we had no time to prepare. I made these Kitty Pumpkin earrings and charms to pay off her last vet bill. While all of the money from my orders go to bills and the business, money from these will directly go to her bill.

Hello hello, meow! This week's #XIVFMN feature is @kuro-neko.co ! We make cute wax cubes to make your spaces smell great, meow! They're flameless and safe to use around your furry friends. We also have a RedBubble with some cool stuff! https://kuro-neko.co/ #xivmerch #ffxiv

Just yoinked these in from the mailbox dgkdh i just need to get myself a tartburner now lmao But thank you @kuro-neko.co ! They smell delightful even without a burner and the doodle had me crying over how cute it is dhjdhjd

also while it's on my mind/I'm thinking about them, the little drawings I got on my @kuro-neko.co receipts were cute

✨Non-US Shop Share✨ The US tariffs have a big impact on non-US shops, loosing a lot of customers. I'm doing this share so you can promote your shop and try to find new people! I'll try to share as much as I can! ⭐Non-US shops only ⭐Share this post ⭐Post your products and links ⭐No A/I, no N/F/T

And it's not just artists going "welp, nobody's gonna pay that fee, so I guess I'll pack it up" it's whole postal services deciding it's not feasible to ship mail to the US anymore 🙃 bsky.app/profile/onid...

If you wanna find some amazing #XIVArt makers selling amazing #XIVMerch, you've made it to the right place! We have a list that populates with #XIVFMN, #XIVMerch, and #FFIVMerch - tagged posts! bsky.app/profile/did:... 1/2

We also have some starter packs for you to follow these small shops directly! go.bsky.app/Fa25EY3 go.bsky.app/Fa25EY3 Be sure to check them both out, as we've been overflown with talent! ✨ If you're a #XIVMerch maker and would like to be added, post below and have your shop 🔗 in your profile!

People should buy my silly little geese instead of getting their anime portraits made by the plagiarism algorithm at fanexpo this weekend. That's my thought.

Reminder that unless something changes last minute (eating tacos for dinner, perhaps ?), I will be (hopefully temporarily) shutting down shipping to the US this friday, august 22.

🍺🕯️ #galagherhsr #sundayhsr #galladay Nectar Blitz (Gallagher) - Oak, bergamot, woods, jasmine, musk, patchouli and bourbon. Ode to Caress and Cicatrix (Sunday) - Lime, earl grey, vanilla, ginger, orchid, jasmine sambac, bay laurel, cypress, cedar, sandalwood, agarwood, tonka bean and musk.

Just a very small sampling of my recent @kuro-neko.co haul, and my own personal top-3 (No, seriously. Let us not ask how many clamshells I have right now for myself, I do regret I can't repurchase Art of War - that truly is punchy!)

Just got my haul in from @kuro-neko.co and I am about to become insufferable. I also want to point out the immense joy I felt when I opened the bag and saw that ratiorine had been shipped holding hands. 💚
