also at some point I promised @nesstalgic.posts.games that I'd show off my ita bag and I never did! so here it is ^^ (artists will be in the thread below!)
a picture of an ita bag on a grey carpet background. the bag is a pink frog backpack. the frog has a cute little smile, and small arms and legs. the pins are on a white insert in the frog's tummy. from left to right, top to bottom, the pins are: a green brachiosaurus with a piece of watermelon on it's head, a tan bunny riding a carrot canoe and wearing a blue lifejacket, a typewriter with a piece of paper that says "the WRITE stuff", a green frog on a skateboard that says "radical!" with a rainbow behind it, the Hungarian flag, with 3 horizonal stripes, red, white, green, the pokemon Stufful, a red panda-looking animal that's pink and looks like a plushie, a yellowed Build-a-Bear pin of a pink bear sniffing a pink flower, a black and white hourglass with a skull in the top and bottom of the hourglass, the pokemon Bewear, a bear with a pink head, black body, and white ears, a Tinkerbell pin where she's on a blue cloud with stars that says "where dreams come true", a small frog holding a heart with the bisexual flag in it the same photo as before, but taken with flash as to see some of the pins better. you can see how shiny they all are, but the poor BAB pin got completely flashbanged as a result.

a print and sticker from @/shycustis.bsky.social and @/coeykuhn.bsky.social

I saw this piece as a tapestry online before, and I was so surprised to see it hanging in artist's alley! I bought the poster version, and it's so beautiful!!! I can't get over it!!!
a business card, sticker, and large poster on a navy blue background. the business card is white with an animal skeleton on it. their twitter, instagram, email, etc is shycustis and coeykuhn . their shop is at coeyandshy.com . the card says "making more of the weird we want to see in the world". the sticker is black and about twice the size of the business card. it has 7 rats in a circle, and their tails are all knotted together in the middle. it says "coeyandshy.com" at the bottom. the poster is huge 12 by 18 inches. it's an almost biblical-looking drawing of The Batter from OFF approaching Hugo. everything is in grayscale except for the Batter's bat, and Hugo's outfit. The Batter stands on a pedalo and The Judge stands on his shoulders. Hugo is on a pillar in a baby chair on a pedalo. his pillar is surrounded by the 3 different kinds of secretaries in the game. a malnourished Japhet can be seen in the background between them. the Bad Batter is above Hugo, looking down at him with his mouth open wide. the 3 add-ons are at the top middle, above an on/off switch. the "off" part of the switch is written on a piece of paper instead of being printed on the machine. the switch is now ON. the royal add-ons are at the bottom middle. 2 Valzong-burnts hold up the scene on the bottom right and bottom left, and 2 Troquantaries hang out at the top left and top right. at the very bottom left and right, there are speech bubbles that say "ah ah!" and "Shy Custis" respectively.

3 posters and a badge ribbon from @/munespice.bsky.social

munespice was the only artist I knew beforehand that was going to the con, so I was so excited to meet her! she was lovely!

you had to tell a dad joke for the ribbon, mine was "why does no one like eating sausage? because it's the wurst!"
a picture of 3 small posters and a badge ribbon on a navy blue background. the badge ribbon is purple with gold letters, it says "Charisma check SUCCESS, @munespice". the first poster says "Cherry blossoms, genus prunus" and has a drawing of small green frogs all over various cherry blossom branches. the second poster has an purple Game Boy-like item submerged in water. lily pads and orange flowers grow out of and around it, and 4 small frogs are hanging out nearby. the third poster has a black cat in a purple witch hat hanging out on a purple picnic blanket outside in the moonlight. she has a teapot and 2 teacups out with her, and large pink carnations bloom around her.

2 keychains and a sticker from @toodlingart and @clovercomplex (twitter and instagram)

I didn't technically buy these at the con, but we saw them there! I was tempted to buy them, but my partner revealed that they ordered these for me beforehand, not realizing they'd be at the con! so that was fun!

a badge ribbon, wooden pin, and sticker from @/puppyshaker.bsky.social

I saw that this artist was selling this badge ribbon beforehand, so they were the first table I went to look for! we walked around for ages trying to find them, but it was so worth it! c:
a picture of my MAGFest badge, lanyard, and sticker next to it, all on a navy blue background. the badge has "Sarah" written at the bottom with a star next to it. my badge number is 19241. underneath that is a white badge ribbon stuck to the bottom of the badge. it features the Bad Batter and some spectres and it says "purification complete." the rest of the badge ribbons are covered by a yellow business card with a brown dog on it that says "thank". on the black lanyard of the badge, there's a wooden pin that has an outline of the Batter and his 3 add-ons. there is also a die-cut sticker of the Bad Batter underneath that.

2 posters and a keychain from @/dunesand.bsky.social

I was so excited to see OFF stuff for sale! the keychain stayed on my backpack all weekend and now hangs on a corkboard on my wall c:
a picture of 2 large posters and a small keychain on top of them. they're sitting on a bed with a navy colored blanket in the background. the left poster has OFF characters in a 3 by 3 grid. from left to right, top to bottom, it's Dedan on a red background, Japhet and Valerie on a blue background, Enoch on an orange background, Sugar on a lighter orange background, The Judge on a yellow background, Zacharie on a purple background, The Batter and his add-ons on a green background, Hugo on a red background, and The Queen on a dark gray background. it says "OFF" at the bottom of the poster. the second poster is red with sketches of various OFF characters and enemies sketched in grey. the add-ons sit by themselves at the bottom of the poster. the keychain is much smaller, and features The Batter, Dedan, Valerie and Japhet, Enoch, and Zacharie all standing in a line. they are drawn smaller and more chibi-like.

finally doing a thread for everything I got in the artist alley at MAGFest 2025 :)

I ended up following so many artists afterwards!! there was so much cool stuff there c:
a caucasian hand holding a stack of business cards between her thumb and first 2 fingers. the stack is about half an inch thick. most of the cards are the same size, but there are some smaller ones in the front, and some longer ones in the back of the pile. a bed with a navy colored heated blanket is in the background.

a phone screenshot of the Build-a-Bear website. it is a white background with a picture of the Sanrio character Usahana in Build-a-Bear plushie form. Usahana's name is usually styled with asterisks, but they have been removed in the alt text for the sake of screen readers. Usahana is a bunny with a light yellow head and a light blue torso. she has blue dot eyes, a pink nose, and a pink mouth shaped like a 3. her left ear is bright pink, and she has an orange flower at the bottom of her left ear. her right ear is blue. her left arm is purple, and her right arm is yellow with the BAB logo on her right palm. her left leg is light green, and her right leg is orange. the bottoms of her feet are light yellow like her face, and the bottom of her left foot has her name written on it. underneath the picture of her, it reads "Sanrio Hello Kitty and Friends Usahana Plush." a red banner under that says "Coming Soon," and she costs $38.

screenshot of a survey question, black text on a white background. a red bar with the Nintendo logo is near the top. a question reads "You noted that if buying a game for yourself, you Definitely would not buy a digital download in-person at a retail store. Why do you feel that way? What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of that approach that make you feel that way?" underneath that, a text box with my answer reads, "because that's stupid," followed by the crying emoji. a red box with a right arrow is below that and to the right. at the bottom of the image, it says "Powered by Qualtrics," with a link next to it

the icon was bugging me all day so I finally fixed it lol
a screenshot of an UNDERTALE style dialog box, a black box with white text. the text reads "UNDERTALE was the first game I ever pirated, though I didn't realize that at the time. what an honor! I'm glad I got to experience something so beautiful at a rough time in my life" to the left of the text, a small portrait of me smiling is in the corner, similar to my profile picture but in black and white. the icon has been redrawn so the face and neck are colored in solid white, and the hair, face, and shirt are black. her eyes and smile are symmetrical. underneath the text box, a smaller box says "SarahUnderStars"

a picture taken from inside of a car at night. the window of the car has some raindrops on it. outside, there's a marquee sign for a Checkers restaurant that says "$4 Unbeatable Meal Deal." underneath that, there's another sign for the same meal deal with pictures of burgers and a soda.

explain your @ !

my name is Sarah, and I was directly inspired by the beginning of Celeste :) I also love stars and space so it works out really well 🥰
a screenshot from the game "Celeste." it has a pixel art style. in the foreground, we see Theo (dark skin, brown hair and beard, teal shirt, blue pants, and tan backpack) talking to Madeline (light skin, ginger hair, blue puffer jacket, dark pants). there's a dialog box at the top of the screen where you can see a more detailed picture of Theo's face. he says "I'm TheoUnderStars, look me up!" you can see Theo's tent and campsite off to the left of the characters, and a large stone structure behind them. everything is cold and wintery, and you can see more large structures in the background
