-IMPORTANT- Gumroad has recently updated their website with the intention of phasing out the ability to manually edit your storefront and allowing you to only edit your storefront via AI agents. I will be dropping gumroad support entirely in the near future. More to come as I sort things out.

also while it's on my mind/I'm thinking about them, the little drawings I got on my @kuro-neko.co receipts were cute

A handwritten/signed "Thank you/Merci" sits above a simple, hand-drawn sketch of a cat bearing features of FFXIV character Wicked Thunder, particularly her horn, her metal wings and an electric aura.

A handwritten "Thank you/Merci" sits above a drawing of a cat with features of Link from The Legend of Zelda series. It's wearing his iconic cap, is sitting next to the Master Sword, and Navi is floating just above.

A handwritten "Thank you/Merci" sits above an image of a cat bearing what the alt-text writer believes is features associated with Honkai Star Rail character, Dr. Ratio. The cat wears a laurel crown, has a distinctive collar and sits next to a book.

A handwritten "Thank you/Merci" sits to the left of a cat bearing features associated with Welt Yang, a character associated with the Honkai games. The bespectacled cat wears a button-down jacket, has a long scarf around its neck, and an aura of power surrounds them.

Just a very small sampling of my recent @kuro-neko.co haul, and my own personal top-3 (No, seriously. Let us not ask how many clamshells I have right now for myself, I do regret I can't repurchase Art of War - that truly is punchy!)

Foreground has three clamshells full of wax melts - from left to right, white wax with a white label of "Techne Makre: Soul of the Sage", light blue wax with a darker blue label of "Petals to Stream, Repose in Dream: Ruan Mei", yellow wax with a lavender label of "Synthetic Black Hole: Welt Yang". In the background are three small black-and-white liners, one with each wax scent.
