If we're going with fan made merch, then definitely the spinner pin by @babirousa.bsky.social! It's sooo beautiful and it brightens my day every day.

If we're talking unrelated products OFMD fans co-opted, then I'm going with my Rosy Maple Moth Squishable. 😊

Listen DN Angel is NOT a good manga, but Satoshi and Daisuke had 14 year old me in a CHOKEHOLD. They are the blueprint for what my ship taste was going to be for the rest of my life. THE sun and moon ship. THE fire and ice ship. THE sunshine one and grumpy one ship. They're gonna own my ass forever.

Deanoru from Runaways is so so important to me. I first discovered this comic when I was starting to realize I wasn't straight, and the messy ways Nico and Karolina both dealt with their queerness was so incredibly relatable to me. When they finally got together years later I burst into tears fr. ❤

Time to talk about my namesake DouWataHima! The OT3 of all time! CLAMP really wrote three characters whose personalities and storylines intersect in the absolute perfect way and then they didn't capitalize on it. I will never not be sad about it. 😔
