i've always wanted to draw areion, but i couldn't get myself satisfied with any art i actually put effort into because the figurine is so realistic and my experience drawing horses expands to trying to eyeball the cover of The Escape (Horses of the Dawn #1) by Kathryn Lasky (the lady who wrote Guardians of Ga'Hoole) and learning (and then unlearning and then relearning) MLP:FiM's pony proportions...so I slapped this together in 5 minutes, cropped it to 1000x1000 for simplicity's sake, and boom. i don't even have to worry about the wings since it's a close-up.

i got caught at collar spree (got tired of censoring every other letter + tumblr won't let me copy and paste text from MY OWN FUCKING POST for some reason) a few months ago because of an unlucky combination of factors (noticeable outfit, noticeable bag, creepy ass worker stalking me from their lunch break on bc i guess they had a hate boner for me???). i've been laying low since because obviously nobody wants to be caught twice at the same location. i think the worker who stalked me from outside the store and sussed me out got fired, thankfully, but that doesn't mean the coast is clear since they loudly confronted me in front of other workers who might still work there. granted, 3/4 of them are fucking geezers, but old people are a NASTY kind of bitter.
however, i also noticed they got these really cute blankets in...i have a blanket i l1ft3d as a gift for a friend, and my new post-caught method (shoving shit into tights covered with a long, thick, loosely fitting skirt with socks over the tights so shit won't fall out as i'm walking) WILL NOT fucking work for these blankets since they're wrapped like a yule log and they're just too thick for me to fit them into my tights without a weird bump mid-thigh level in the front or back. i considered fitting them halfway between my shirt and tights, but if i don't have some sort of cardigan on it'll be horrifically obvious i have something stuff on my person.
i got 5 blankets earlier this year by bringing the massive bag...that led to me being caught a few months back. i could try to hide the bag with a button-up or cardigan tied around my waist or worn as normal, but according to my l1ft1ng partner my button-ups and cardigans "attract attention" because they're not what you'd expect someone to wear to a collar spree.
alternatively -- though i'm saying now i don't think anyone would do this -- i could cut the packaging keeping the blanket rolled up off with a pair of scissors, then try to slip each half of the blanket into my tights and distribute out the bulging that'd happen more that way. however, i timed myself on shoving the friend's packaged blanket into my tights and it took around 10 seconds + was supremely fucking obvious. in addition, i know from the 5 i unpackaged that the fuckers accounted for this and their way of making it too hard to do in the store to even be an option is putting 6 of those stupid T-shaped clear plastic tags usually used for socks throughout the blanket.
am i cooked? should i just scrounge up the money to buy them? i have two grocery shopping bags that could fit 4 or 5, but with that i'd both need something to throw on top so people can't see what's inside of the bag and have something in the bag sizable enough that the addition of the blankets won't be super obvious. both grocery bags are fairly noticeable due to the patterning on them -- one's red and white while the other's black but has large white animals on it. that also brings up the whole "giant bag is supremely fucking sus" issue.
i know there's a chance someone's going to ask "why would you need more than 5 blankets?"...these collar spree blankets are cute looking, but incredibly thin. they're maybe the thickness of an iphone 11. they're also 50 x 60 which means i'd need two to cover me at night, even if just one works comfortably as a shawl. the thinness of the blanket also means i usually have to put a second layer of them on top, so that's 4 blankets...i usually use any blankets left as a pillow booster. in an ideal world i could find better blankets, but it's like you can either only get dumb baby toddler blankets that break the second you breathe on them or luxurious divine goddess bed sized comforters that choke you out the second you pull them onto you.
i always had a fucking hunch that the statistics they were claiming were severe weren't as severe as they were claiming they were and that it was fearmongering.
sorry i went super inactive again. i've been doing okay with l1ft1ng n shit. i just haven't had the energy (or space tbh) to do photos of hauls. since i was gone/slightly before that:
went to a mall in september and got stuff from $p1r1t h4||0w33n + c|_41r3'$, but h0t t0p1c + $p3|\|c3r'$ had everything and their mother tagged + super expensive so i just looked around there (i don't have m4g|\|3t$ for t4g r3m0v4l bc i suck at intercepting packages and tbh i don't think i'd trust myself not to fuck it up lol)...i realized at the last minute the mall had a +4rg3+ and i was somehow able to pull off body concealing several pairs of h4||0w33n earrings up my sleeve (i know, super super super risky, but i concealed while pretending to look through a clothing rack so the cams couldn't see my hands)
slightly before that, i went to \/\/4lm4r+ with one of my parents and i think they realized i was trying to finagle some shit bc they didn't let me out of their sight + was constantly looking at what i had in my hands + we ended up spending fucking $200 (PJs and men's jewelry add up quickly) because i couldn't sneak ANYTHING i wanted to nab into my bag bc they kept insisting i put shit in the cart...i was able to hide some shit in my pockets + bag + sweater sleeves but that was like. a drop in the bucket compared to what we bought
at some point during either september or october i convinced that same parent to go to f1\/3 b3|_0w and i was able to nab what little h4||0w33n jewelry they had + a few other knicknacks like keychains (devastated bc in 2022 they had this stud earring set i thought my PIC had grabbed but they didn't and by the time we could come back to that location the h4||0w33n shit was GONE)
in that same time span i ALSO convinced that parent to drive me and my PIC to d0||4r g3n3r4| + a d0||4r +r33 we don't usually access due to how far it is from home, to great success (couldn't grab shit in the former bc the cameras + staff were crowded as fuck, but the latter was a bit easier though still very anxiety provoking for me and PIC)
after that spree in september + october i took a break bc i've never seen decent shit for +h4nk$g1v1ng anywhere other than cute jewelry in k0h|'$ tbh 💀 december was also pretty chill iirc bc the time i would've done my l1ft1ng was spent at a relative's house in a high shrinkage area and i was NOT going to be risking that sorry
so far in january i went to the same \/\/4lm4r+ twice (roughly a week apart each visit) bc i underestimated how much shit i'd want to grab and missed out on some seasonal stuff due to \/\/4lm4r+ now deciding "hey wouldn't it be an awesome business idea if we dropped our v4l3nt1n3'$ day shit the millisecond chr1$tm4$ ends, refuse to update our site to properly reflect what we have, and make no sign of doing so with newsletters or announcements?" but it's okay because i have so many pairs of novelty boxers now
idk what i'm gonna do for v4l3nt1n3'$ day if anything else bc the k0h|_'$ my PIC and i used to go to might be permanently off the table for us between them rearranging the store so there's a camera right over the jewelry section + my fucking idiot PIC deciding to go straight to the jewelry section, conceal without looking out for cams first (or even realizing the store had been rearranged), and getting caught by LP watching on cams in a room i guess they have somewhere...so now we gotta go there with a nice fat wallet since they magically forget how to canvas for blindspots whenever we're there (this was back around 34$+3r last year i think?). the experience also left my PIC a lot more anxious + quick tempered when it comes to l1ft1ng but they know i'll do it with or without them and still insist on being my PIC to look out for me so i feel bad and let them
same for st. patrick's -- \/\/4lm4r+ actually kinda ate the women's and men's shirts this year other than the usual cringy "i don't need to be LUCKY i'm a MEEMAW 😂😂😂" shit they have every year and the obligatory plastering of baby yoda on a shirt every holiday fucking requires...+4rg3+ + k0h|_'$ is just increasingly not worth it when the vast majority of their seasonal stuff is statement pieces made of shit tier polyester blends, cute socks that cost way too fucking much, cheaply made jewelry that costs way too fucking much, and 5000 mascot t-shirts. even ceevee ess was kinda disappointing when i looked around in a store on the same trip i went to +4rg3+ on in the beginning of this month -- i thought they couldn't make their jewelry look cheaper looking, but god i was wrong.
hoping to start finding cute stuff for layering during easter (my easter wardrobe is a \/1n3y4rd \/1n3s button down i outgrew being able to comfortably wear years ago, a white button down i love + want in black so bad but i cut the tag off so i don't remember the brand who made it, some tie-dye shit from previous pride releases + thrifting...yikes) so i might check online bc \/\/4lm4r+ is dookie for easter stuff that isn't meant for stuffy 50 year olds and while i just said +4rg3+ + k0h|_'$ are increasingly not worth it, they might have something online that'll convince me to go just for easter stuff.
pride will be VERY dependent on if +4rg3+ decides to fuck over their designers under pressure like they did last year + if k0hl'5 ends up being more milquetoast statement pieces. if i ever won the lottery, my first purchase is going to be a sweatshirt from 4bpr4||3n. this last year made me realize that if i want cool pride shit, i gotta learn how to make it by myself.
after pride i ain't thinking THAT far into the future lol
but yeah that's what i've been up to...i'll probably disappear for another few months just because i'll forget this account exists again + it's arguably better i don't photoshoot most of my hauls atp
i l1ft for seasonal things like v4l3n+1|\|3'5 d4y (V), 5+. p4+r1(|<'5 d4y (S), 345+3r, (E), pr1|)3 (P), 4u+u/\/\|\| (A), h4||0\/\/33|\| (H), +th4|\|k5g|v|ng (T), and c|-|r15+/\/\45 (C).
here's a quick guide on when you should be checking stores to ensure you see all the jewelry they have available for the holidays in question:
\/\/4|_/\/\4r+ summary: 2 weeks before for most holidays -- a month before for H and C due to the inflatables/home decoration items being sold requiring an earlier setup.
V = early february/late january.
S = early to mid march.
E = mid-to-late march for clothes -- jewelry is less important (especially for \/\/4|_/\/\4r+), and i have yet to see them sell it on their website or in person. could just be my luck, though.
P = late may. once june hits, the stores drain quickly, unless they do what they did last year and put up the ugliest shit known to man.
A = mid to late august.
H = early september, but do note that every year it seems to be a bit earlier. also note that people can and will hide jewelry to come back for it later -- search around and see if you can sniff things out. i got 3 pairs of earrings and the cutest h3|_|_0 k1++y bow from rummaging through this stand of party favors behind the jewelry section where the other h4||0\/\/33|\| jewelry was at.
T = early november.
C = the millisecond halloween ends, tbh.
C\/S summary: 2 weeks for most holidays -- they do seem to prepare for autumn a bit earlier though.
V and S (usually done at the same time) = late january/early february.
E = 2 weeks beforehand -- wait a week after 5+. p4+r1(|<'5 d4y and you'll probably see posters letting you know when 345+3r is.
P = not sure. they are pr0=|+1f3, but they also put out some shitty jewelry and a big ass candle this year, so presumably the beginning of june.
A = mid to late august. usually their shit goes hard in home decoration and candles.
H = mid september.
T = none.
C = the millisecond halloween ends.
|<0h|_'5 & +4rg3+ summary: similar to \/\/4|_/\/\4r+, if not a little earlier and more organized...
V = late january. will probably have shit out by the first of february since again, these two prioritize organization and timeliness. jewelry more abundant than S, though there are also a lot of cringy corporate mascot shirts (think /\/\4r\/3|_, 5+4r \/\/4r5, c4r3 |>34r5, etc.)
S = early march. usually do clothing more than jewelry, and adult clothing is restricted to more cringy corporate mascot bullshit or corny shit like "i'm feeling lucky" or "look! i'm wearing green!".
E = the second march has a droplet of rainfall. |<0h|_'5 takes E very seriously, especially in the jewelry department. this was how one of my PICs got caught -- be careful. +4rg3+ similarly doesn't fucking play when it comes to E, but to be fair they don't play in general.
P = mid to late may. once june hits, the stores drain quickly...especially +4rg3+. i do recommend supporting 4bpr4|_|_3|\|, +4rg3+'s scapegoat from the anti-|_g|>+ boycotting bullshit last year, instead of anything +4rg3+ makes without utilizing small businesses/designers.
A = mid to late august.
H = early september. the pumpkin spice facebook minion meme bitches and millennial teachers do NOT play about their b4ub|_3f1x jewelry and WILL snatch up every hint of 4u+u/\/\|\| or h4||0\/\/33|\| themed jewelry the second they comprehend it near them.
T = mid to late october. to be honest, i've never visited either of these stores during november, so hell if i fucking know.
C = early november. they're not usually tacky enough to put christmas and halloween shit next to each other without clearing things out, but at small locations at malls it's more likely to happen. NEITHER of these stores play around c|-|r15+/\/\45. BE CAREFUL.
f1\/3 |>3|_0\/\/ summary: i only go to them for h4||0\/\/33|\| shit -- i went in mid september and they had a shitty drop compared to last year...but this year, i have to admit the quality of the jewelry definitely looks higher. i wish i'd gotten the moon tarot card shirt with the cat on it last year, though. they didn't bring it back this year, opting for cringy corporate designs and a few corny originals.
most other stores loosely follow the 2-4 weeks beforehand rule with nothing really notable.
\/\/4|_gr33|\|5 is the only other store i really check for things. they usually have the best accessories for their store for h4||0\/\/33|\|, and other than that you can expect candy, party favors, and some shit tier LED "jewelry".
|_1d|_ probably also has interesting socks for holidays outside of v4l3n+1|\|3'5 d4y, but the one time i went to one, there was a fucking security guard patrolling the area and they have cameras at the ends of every single aisle. my PIC and i had to conceal by facing each other as they calmly but frantically tossed socks into the bag i held open for them.
5p1r1+ h4||0\/\/33|\|s usually open at the beginning of september, with some exceptions both before and after that (i.e. mid to late august or mid september to early october). they also stock untagged jewelry from 5p3|\|c3r'5 since they're owned by the same company iirc, so if you have a 5p3|\|c3r'5 that tags all of their shit near you like i do, that could be your chance to get away with some shit.
update in january 2024: \/\/4|_/\/\4r+ put out V shit RIGHT AFTER CHRISTMAS this year. found that out the hard way when i went to a location about a week ago and they were already full of S stuff. same for +4rg3+ -- i went to a location with my l1fting p4rtn3r and they had that stupid cardigan people on the clock app wouldn't shut the fuck up about there, along with sweatshirts and graphic tees.
it's looking a lot like corporations have went full steam ahead with dropping seasonal shit as early as humanly possible and leisurely shopping just ain't a thing anymore...
i'd estimate E stuff to be out in early to mid march, P stuff to be out in early to mid may (maybe late may, it'll probably depend on how much r3publ1c4n5 want to moan and whine about boycotting pride shit this year), A stuff to be out in early to mid august, H stuff to be out in late august to early september, T stuff to be out mid to late october, and of course C shit the milisecond october's over.
i'm also thinking of reworking how i censor shit with emojis since letters kind of just blend into the text...but let me know, i don't wanna do anything if it's already working for people.

sorry i've been quiet for so long. i just did some hauls this week -- i'm mostly dormant except for halloween and pride at this point. my health and living situation have stayed mostly the same but worsened a bit, so i've been paranoid and stopped taking photos of stuff. i'm just trying to live live one day at a time at this point. i'm not gonna die any time soon (i think), i'm just very paranoid.
just know that i saved at least $150 this week on jewelry alone.

does anyone still have access to those posts about making a magic bag/pocket lined with layers of aluminum foil so you can drop shit in there without detagging it and walk out of a store with towers without beeping? k0hl'5 has awesome pins from n4p13r but the shit is very intermittently tagged when it comes to k0hl'5 and with necklaces they really fuck you by gluing the paper with the hole they use to put it on hooks and racks together so it's harder to cut it/get it out...and a partner i don't normally l1ft with getting caught has me super paranoid now.
need advice, especially from k0hl'5 employees on here
tumblr's fucking post editor just HAD to crash when i was almost done. this is why i stopped posting l1fting haul pics -- shit just doesn't want to load anything anymore. main questions are bolded and italicized.
TL;DR i copied to move to the top of the first post, which is what caused the editor to crash: i went l1fting with person i don't normally grab shit with, they made several stupid mistakes (didn't recognize store layout had been changed; concealed without looking out for a blindspot regardless of what you personally think can or cannot be seen by a camera; beelined to jewelry section when you NEED to shop naturally in k0hl'5 if you're going to be concealing on the floor; concealed in the section they were actively grabbing shit to l1ft in) and got caught, presumably because they got spotted concealing or detaching jewelry (they didn't specify what they were doing that got them caught) by a giant black dome camera the new jewelry section is put near.
how fucked are we at that location now?
my partner (who is much older than me and should be more experienced, but clearly not) said that we shouldn't return for at least 1 month, 2 to be extra safe, but should we just not risk it and stop going to that location entirely?
we had medical masks on -- will they be able to recognize us despite that? do they have facial recognition with cameras/any t4rg3t type shit where they have a database of l1fters? if my partner was, in fact, stupid enough to use their credit card, how much information about them can the store get off of that??? our driver pulled up to the front of the store after my partner left and i was still shopping -- how likely is it that they got our driver's license plate/car info? i heard they take that if they realize the l1fter is associated with a car.
btw i've never had any problems grabbing shit at this location before today because between the geriatric customers minding their own business (surprising, i know)/l1fting shit themselves, a surprising amount of blindspots in clearance sections, and the dipshits at the registers needing 5 employees to find a single item on the item search thing, they suck at running the store. i've snatched $40 dresses from this place before. i got a mock turtleneck that was a part of the outfit i wore for my family's last christmas party for free.
i'm so fucking mad at this partner. it's not like they had any reason to slip up like this either (a medical procedure they get done intermittently to treat something alters their senses temporarily but it's been long enough since the last time they got it that the altered senses should've returned to normal by now; we weren't in a rush to get in and out of the store and had a legitimate shopping reason to be there, that being buying an outfit for a family event and getting things for relatives going to that same event; i wasn't with them in the beginning so they couldn't nag at me for "lingering too long" like they always do every time we go out to l1ft). there was so much cute shit i could've grabbed if i had just searched up advice (l1ftblr apparently recommends shopping with a basket or that stupid grey cart that's slow as shit so it's easier to grab more and travel to blindspots with shit you want...ironically enough, my PIC and i once used the grey cart and got jewelry stuck in this gap between the cupholders near the handle and the handle itself so we haven't used it since).
god i'm just so fucking mad. i need advice. i need to know that this partner didn't just fuck up the most convenient store for classy jewelry for me.
anyone else having issues uploading images? i had to paste every image in this post twice because the first time, it deleted my first 3 photos all at once as i processed the other 3, then it decided to randomly fail 4 of my photos.
according to a change petition, this is apparently because of how bright the images are, but if i didn't use flash in my photos you'd be able to see the reflection of my phone in anything...well, reflective...and the photo would have shit lighting because i take my photos with my phone directly above the items i'm photographing.
i've also noticed that when photos do upload, the quality takes a kick in the fucking balls.
i wanna hit up my local w4lm4rt again, but the location has been inaccessible to my PIC and i for reasons we couldn't really mitigate, so that sucks. at least as winter sets in, wearing layers won't look weird or suspicious anymore, right? i'm also considering getting bike shorts so i can stuff shirts along the hem and avoid having a bag that looks overfilled.
i'm also really scared my 4bu53r might be on here. to be fair, i haven't been active on any form of social media for a while now, so it's highly unlikely that anyone -- even my 4bu53r, who i'm fairly sure checks my social media accounts still -- would be able to figure out who i am.
i think i'm actually gonna stop documenting my l1ft hauls for 2 reasons:
i haven't been able to find the next thing i need to photograph to post (the butterfly wing resin necklace pendant i snatched upstate)
i have l1fted so much shit this past week from $H, k0hl's, and t4rg3t that i actually don't think i'd be able to fit every photo of each haul into their own respective posts without hitting the photo limit
i'm very paranoid someone will recognize me in public one day because i'm wearing several things i've documented on here as having l1fted.
i am fucking SWIMMING in costume jewelry right now. my alt ass is happier than it's ever been.
however, it's also a sad time because until i find people irl that can afford to take me to the local mall (i.e. where h0t t0p1c and $p3nc3r'$ are) i don't really have anywhere to check anymore now that capitalist halloween season is basically over :( d0ll4r tr33 still has candles, and w4lm4rt still has occasionally good clothing, but i have a bad feeling if i keep it up the way i am now my dad can and WILL start sussing me out...so i think i might go into hiatus.
gonna try to 🧬 k0hl's. they had a ton of shit online they just don't have in the store nearby and i'm not gonna risk going to a separate location and getting sussed out + caught because i'm out of my comfort zone.
their website has a customer service i can call -- i'll probably claim some items were damaged or missing, and hopefully they don't ask for photo proof if i say damaged because if i broke some of these earrings i just don't know how to fix them. i don't have a solderer at home, so i don't think i'd be able to fix the more metallic earrings that way either.
anyone have any other tips? i pulled an all nighter last night so my brain hasn't been right today.
update: might pussy out bc i tried ordering from a similar store (m1ch34l'5) and figuring everything out was such a fucking headache and half the shit i wanted sold out and a friend of mine is having the same issue (we bought some of the same items so we had some of the same issues) and it's like...what was the reason. i didn't use my card for anything so i have around ~$100 to utilize but i need to figure out how much in taxes they'd apply and if they'll be a headache like m1ch34l'5 was.

hrgh *starts dancing in a violent manner as if my spirit has been transformed into a breakcore beat drop*
my dad was nice enough to get me this pair of earrings my PIC broke one of while removing it from packaging after he determined it'd cost more to repair the broken earring...should we ask him for the receipt, claim damage, and get store credit? then we have an excuse to go to another location 😈
i really wanted to hit up 🎯 before halloween, but between ub3r costs and how high risk of a location it is i don't think we'll be able to make it in time. i could try to 🧬 them, but i've seen low success rates from them. i also wanna PEB m1cha43l's since a friend of mine spent like $50 on an order only for half of the shit to go out of stock as they were ordering + they had the thing they were looking the most forward to get cancelled because that went out of stock too...agh so many choices so little time and a card with only $100 in expendable money
also been considering getting a job so i can help my PIC pay off their credit card bills (which by extension pay for everything from food to phone bills) but that just means more money spent on ub3r trips...and as i've mentioned before, i'm neurodivergent so my people skills are -1000.
lastly, i wanted to photograph the cute butterfly resin pendant i got visiting a relative but guess what areion did! guess what the silly little horse guy did!!! HE FUCKING LOST ANOTHER PIECE OF L1FTED JEWELRY. i'm gonna have to start tying pieces i l1ft to me with chains before i photograph them since once i photograph my shit i remember where i put it
we'd gotten halloween earrings from this location before, but my mom had gotten most of them and i wanna say it was before i was really posting hauls on here.
i also mixed the earrings we got from that trip with my earring container's earrings from actual purchases i made over the years, so i was not gonna sit there for half an hour figuring out what we'd nabbed.
the back of the store had a TON of halloween shit! that's why we got so many earrings. we're considering going back some time during the week because i wanna get another set of these 3 pack of hair bows i got and because i fucking lost one of the cauldron earrings during one of the 3 or so days i let all of the earrings sit loose on my bed (i know, bad idea, but i was super busy after the night i got them and i knew if i put them away my lazy ass would not photograph them).
i'm thinking of either selling the rest on a website like p0shm4rk because a bitch needs safety purchase cash (safety purchase is what i call a buy you make IN CASH when you're being sussed so you're an actual, paying customer and they can't really sus you as much anymore)...
or i could do something for the t34l p(_)mpk1n pr0j3c7 -- give out a mismatched pair of earrings to each kid who comes to our doorstep. the t34l p(_)mpk1n pr0j3c7 is like the blu3 p(_)mpk1n buckets for 4ut1st1c kids but less patronizing (it's associated with @(_)71$m $p34k5 because of the buckets being blu3) and meant for any d1sabled child who can't have normal candy for whatever reason.
idk. either way i wanna hit the fucking store up ASAP since then i just have 74rg37 and $H.
late stage capitalism is awful i wanna stomp on it @areionlifts - Tumblr Blog | Tumlook
