Eyyo! I don't really have a screen name in mind just yet, so I guess call me Misty or Rain. Level 26.
I like a lot of different stuff. I guess some big things would be Littlest Pet Shop, mythology, Phantom of the Opera, alternative music, and 2000s nostalgia.
I mostly draw, sometimes I write or take photos of my LPS. Learning to git gud at digital art.
Might add more later.
My stuff so far

I think this conversation started a pretty long time ago, but since I haven't seen a lot of solid answers, I just thought I'd thought put in my own two cents for finding Etsy alternatives. I have three ideas:
- A lot of shop owners on Etsy also have their own websites that they sell their stuff on, so I'd definitely look to see if your favorite etsy shops have their own sites. Just look up their names on google/bravesearch/whatever you use, and you should see if they do.
- There's a website called Storenvy that's the same type of thing as Etsy, another online third party for buying from independent businesses.
- Okay, hear me out on this one. Ebay started as an auction website, then auctions and general thrifting, then went kinda corporate and did nothing to regulate the bigger businesses selling on there. However, I've also seen some independent businesses start selling there, and I haven't heard of Ebay doing anything about those, either. So, uh...yeah. Be chaotic good and fund the independent sellers, I guess?
So yeah, those are my ideas for Etsy alternatives. Hope this helps!
Adding a few more mentioned in the comments since Etsy mainly ships to the US and not all of y'all are American:
-Folksy, a UK based store similar to Etsy
-Shopee, a Singapore based online store that ships to several Asian countries as well as Mexico and Brazil
-Mercado Livre, an online store in Brazil (I think?)
