let's go and see the light

today seems like a good day to say i love fanmade kpop merch. i love fans' love and creativity, i love people making the merch other fans actually want to have, i love everyone's different styles and angles and ideas, i love prints and keychains and homemade photocards and bracelets and bags and card holders and stickers and badges. i love collections of merch that look like everyone's own journeys, the artists they love and the events they've been to. i love merch that's really properly local. and most of all i love meeting people, i love swapping freebies with our hands shaking from excitement and nerves, i love browsing through artist tables, i love loving things that have been made with all the same joy i get from them
