Ita Bag
My bag as of May 13th, 2024. Besides adding one or two more stickers to the outside, the display window is completely finished! I'd like to work on the top flap a bit more... The left side will look better if I add a smaller badge next to the "I VOTED" one.
Decoration | Source | My Thoughts |
---|---|---|
Acrylic keychain by yunaneko0 | Let's start with my favourite keychain and its unequivocal cuteness!! Sans looks so soft and nonthreatening, like maybe he's laughing at his own joke... It contrasts perfectly with the second item in the set. | |
Acrylic keychain by yunaneko0 | Here, we see the fullest extent of Sans's badassery unfold. His strongest attack!!! One of his greatest charm points is the duality of his character, so I'm very happy with this pair of charms. | |
Acrylic keychain by Segamew | This is the only holographic item, so it stands out! It's double-sided, too~ On the flip side, Sans is winking very cutely, but he has his left eye closed, which he would never do...┘ He always winks with his right! | |
Acrylic pin by Mizoho | NGL I bought this mainly because I was so thrilled when I realised that the artist is a fellow Black woman!!! I couldn't not support her... It helps that Sans looks so darn cute here, too. | |
Coaster by opie (PID: 17615534) | The centerpiece of my design!!! I love this thing to hell and back, because that's where it took me. I very naively imported it from Japan, not knowing anything about proxies or registered mail or what to do when your local post office is a shitshow... But now that it's safely with me, and so beautifully adorning my bag, I couldn't be happier │ | |
Rubber strap by Bandai | Thankfully I did not have to import this one myself!! I got so excited when I saw they released an official rubber strap, and with such cool, dynamic art, too. | |
Official packaging cut out | Long before I started my ita bag, I decided to decorate my randosel with imagery from Sans's boss battle, so I asked to buy me two Gaster Blaster pins for my birthday. That project is on a standstill for now, but I love those pins so, so much and I'm glad that I got to repurpose the packaging. | |
Official packaging cut out | This must have come from the box that held my Sans "inaction" figure. I mostly put it in here to take up space, but I guess it's a good way to distinguish that the Sans I simp for is not from Deltarune (or any other alternate universe)... | |
Official packaging cut out | Same source as above! But this time I'm certain that's where it came from, heh. I love the little bit of kana underneath. To attach it to the bag, I had to sew it down with an upholstery needle that could pierce through cardboard. | |
Official packaging cut out | The last piece taken from the inaction figure box. I secured it to the bag with four pushpins and some heart-shaped rubber pin-backs. Wah, I love him so much... he's just so cute...!!! | |
Wholesale enamel pin | This pin says "I need a break," with "break" rendered as an HTML tag. I'm sure that Sans knows basic HTML (everyone should!), but this represents my real, actual love of webdev more than his hypothetical awareness of it. But! It still relates to Sans because he takes a lot of breaks! | |
Enamel pin by PinAlchemy | This saucy little pin says "Good in bed: I never fall out." I chose it for three reasons: (1) Sans loves cheesy jokes like this; (2) Sans prides himself on how much rest he gets; and (3) he really is good in— *shot* | |
Enamel pin by PinAlchemy | You can't see it so well in this photo, but it's a parody of the Periodic Table that says, "Ah! The element of surprise." It suits Sans because he loves both science and surprising people. "Hiding" it under the top flap makes it even cheekier. | |
Badge by PenandPaw | I did not actually participate in the Tumblr Sexyman Tournament, but I am so proud of my mans for taking first place! I want to remind everyone that he's really #1!!!! Hm... it seems that Sans is winking with the wrong eye, but I'll overlook it...├ | |
Wholesale charm | Sans loves hot dogs and hot cats, so wouldn't he like a dogburger, too? I've attached this adorable puppy to the bag's zipper to add both functionality and cuteness! | |
Enamel pins by Fangamer | Sans looks so adorable here— look at his cheeky little shrug! He's meant to be holding/hovering the hot cat, but it's getting covered up by the plushie's arm... Oh, well. | |
Plush keychain by Banpresto | Lastly, we have the first piece of Sans merch that made me freak out and go insane. He's just so cute!!! For the longest time, I hung him up on the wall above my computer... Now it's time for him to see the world. The little rubber sun beside him (wholesale) will shine down on both of us as we embark on our journey of love...! |
Moving on from the decorations... the background is made from repurposed materials as well. The deepest blue is actually an old shower cap! In the bottom left corner, the blue checks are from the box my Divoom Ditoo speaker came in. The blue in the top right corner is an envelope, and the bit of yellow underneath is tissue paper.
You'll also notice a smattering of stickers stuck to the outside of the display window. They're all from the Yummy set, mostly Yellow and some Orange. I need a few more sparkles and stars to fill in the gaps in the top right corner, but besides that I think the stickers are very well placed!!
I chose the food and heart-shaped ones for obvious reasons. The one that says "luck" is here because, even though Sans has the worst stats of every monster, I believe that the one attribute he would have maxed out is luck! It also represents how lucky I am to have him...│ Hehe.
Dolls
I love, love, love these soft and tiny Sanses!!! My SANSDOLL BJD will eventually have his own page, so for now this gallery is dedicated to my two plushies. I received both as Christmas gifts, one year apart, the second from someone who didn't realise I already had one. Both are knockoffs because I failed to direct either of them to the Fangamer store...┌ Oops. Part of me stills want an official Sans plush, but I think having three of these things would be way too indulgent!
Anyways, I love to kiss them. They're too small to properly snuggle, so their main task is to sit around and watch me with their unblinking felt eyes.
Cellphone
I have a clear phone case, so the images of Sans you see here are actually printed out and taped down underneath! I like to swap them out a couple times a year, and match the grippy-thingy to whatever art I've picked out.
Suprisingly, creating the digital wallpapers is way more of an undertaking. First I have to choose something with the right proportions from my collection, and then line up the borders and boxes through trial and error. After making the first set, I have a bit of a template to work with now, but somehow it's still too much work for me, heh.
Maybe I'll get off my ass and choose something tropical/serene for summertime. We'll see!
Miscellany
I bought myself some matte 4"x6" photo paper and that truly was the beginning of the end.
also drew me a dakimura for my birthday which I still need to photograph. I'm thinking I'll take it off of the pillow (no room for it in my cuddle sim...) and hang it on my wall somewhere.
Wishlist
Yes, I have this huge collection, and yes, I'm pretty satisfied with everything in it... but I'm still not done yet! I love Sans so much and he makes me so very happy that I won't rest until his image has totally surrounded me!!!
Item | Description | My Thoughts |
---|---|---|
Bootleg Skelebros tanktop | I missed out on buying "that shirt with Sans and Papyrus on it" from Fangamer, but that's okay because one day I will use the print to make myself a tanktop instead. I'll need to make sure it can go through the wash without getting gross... Gotta do some more reasearch. | |
Sticker by EXTY (official) | Since Sans is the only one that I'd want from this 3 sheet set of stickers, I cannot justify the $15 + shipping price tag... but that won't stop me from wishing for him. | |
Official Fight/Mercy enamel pins | For my boss battle randosel!! It's totally blank right now, but when I get further into the process I'll start taking pics... | |
Foldable tote bag by Ikuno Ohashi | Sans and Frisk are standing right next to each other... and so close together!!!! This artist is a サンフリ truther and she got it on official merch. I haven't looked through her portfolio enough to confirm this, but I just feel it in my bones. You cannot change my mind. | |
Another tote by Ikuno Ohashi | This one is super cute, too!! If I had to choose, I'd probably pick this one since I prefer white/light coloured bags. That way, they'll always match with my shoes... | |
Legends of Localisation | GRAHHH I WANT IT SO BAD!!!!!!! When I can logistically buy books again, it's so over for me... I will get this one first, and then start collecting Sans doujinshi!!! | |
Offical Sans hoodie │ | Too hot to wear this, but... oh, I'll be thinking of it always. Always! When the time comes that I can actually own it, I think I'll get it slightly oversized for the True Boyfriend Fit. | |
Acrylic stand by Bandai Namco | Not only is this thing irresistably cute and tiny, a cut out from the yellow packaging would look great inside my ita bag!!! | |
Perler bead crafts | I think it'd be really cool if I made some pixel art tangible with those fun melty beads! I want to make Christmas ornaments... and fridge magnets! | |
Snowdin microfiber cloth | Sans is not on this cloth... but his house is!!! Therefore, there is a part of me that still really wants to have it!!! I could use it as a backdrop in a scene or something... | |
assrtdj merch | assrtdj, AKA goodboytown, used to sell the most adorable Sans stuff on storenvy... But it's been years since then and she's no longer in the Undertale fandom. I wonder if there are still some copies of this stuff floating around...? I'd buy them all in a heartbeat!!! | |
Sansgotchi (DIY) | Another assrtdj epic win: a Sans digital pet!!! When I first discovered this, I actually looked into modified Tamagotchi, but I think I would prefer mine to be purely decorative, just for ease of use. | |
Nendroid | I'm not sure how badly I actually want this one... Strangely enough, I prefer the much less impressive "inaction" figure. But! It could be cute if I made a little Goki-chan to match! | |
Reqiuem cafe acrylic stand | I missed out on the Undertale Cafe... but even though I'll never taste Sans Soda, at least I could make myself something with this cute art!!! The official copies were limited edition, so honestly I'll just bootleg it. | |
Cookie cutter?? | Apparently this will make me cookies in the shape of his face... I want to at least try it!!! |
