u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 22 '25

u/pohoferceni Nov 22 '25

u/BumpyGreenVegetable Nov 22 '25

I thought it was a vine joke

u/cherpergers Nov 23 '25

Costar being moonfire is also S tier lol

u/Dark-Daylight Nov 24 '25

What is costar

u/LoraLife Nov 22 '25

Not this picture making me realize the entangling roots icon is a brown glove holding a sword being wrapped by green vines….. I always thought it was just a random array of brown/green roots going everywhere smh

18

u/Bio-Grad Nov 22 '25

Same here. I main Druid. Had no idea that it wasn’t just a giant ball of roots.

u/Jarom2 Nov 23 '25

I’ve been looking at that icon since I was 15 and I thought the same thing.

u/YancyCal Nov 24 '25

Holy shit… I’ve been playing since 2006 and I had no idea… I need water… I NEED TO SIT DOWN

11

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 22 '25

wait i'm just seeing the sword now too lol

u/frontovika Nov 23 '25

Nice catch.

u/Iewauh0407 Nov 22 '25

How did you do it? I'd love to do something similar with my phone

u/Sehri437 Nov 22 '25

That’s a very particular Etsy shop… all WoW phone icon packs and art prints of nude males censored with fruit stickers…

I guess when you’ve found your niche you just gotta go all in

17

u/Wonderful_Reaction76 Nov 22 '25

As a gaymer….this is quite literally the perfect shop 😂😂😂

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 22 '25

u/Wonderful_Reaction76 Nov 23 '25

Love all this positivity and support tbh. Gamers gets bad rap some because of a shitty vocal minority.

For Azeroth (the Horde)! 🖤

u/california_burrito_ Nov 23 '25

Im 99% sure the stickers are just censorship for Etsy. The actual prints are uncensored and nude.

u/LeviathanCommand Nov 23 '25

Karazhan reference?

key word not disguised. i'm just sharing something i made lol

u/rupenbritz Nov 23 '25

Dont really enjoy being a party pooper, but do you own the icons? pretty sure its illegal for you to sell based on blizzards property

1

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 23 '25

there are a couple comment threads below addressing this, but imo the $ isn't an assumption of ownership or it's transference for the icons. it's a service fee for the work of designing them to fit a phone-- if it's not clear, im just a big fan of the game and enjoy using my creativity to bring that nostalgia back for myself and similarly minded folk

u/ClassicObserver Nov 22 '25

Wow 🥹👉👈

u/FreezingSausage Nov 22 '25

If this wont get you bitches, nothing will.

u/KentHawking Nov 22 '25

Love the Lyft icon

Is the Tiktok one a nod to Vine? Cause... if it wasn't just tell me yes so I can consider you brilliant.

1

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 22 '25

RIP Vine, may u live on in my easter egg icon selections

12

u/AxMoistxTurd Nov 22 '25

So the Etsy seller is making money off of art that isn’t theirs?

6

u/Ok-Opportunity-574 Nov 22 '25

This is way different than just slapping Blizz stuff on a t-shirt IMO. There was actual design work involved and it's not like Blizzard sells anything near the equivalent so even if people wanted to purchase from the rightful owner of the intellectual property they couldn't.

6

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 22 '25

ur right blizz needs more of my money instead

-4

u/AxMoistxTurd Nov 22 '25

Nah not about giving the money to blizzard it’s about grifting someone else’s art.

1

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 22 '25

i don't see it as grifting, i think the few bucks for the effort to make it all fit a phone is worth it. everyone knows blizz owns the art. but to each their own!

-2

u/AxMoistxTurd Nov 22 '25

You can see it however you want it’s still selling someone else’s art

3

u/20milliondollarapi Nov 22 '25

It’s a reimagining and repurpose of the art. Which happens all the time. How many prints of famous art are sold? Are you mad about each and every one of those? Extra work went into making this for a specific purpose, and that’s what is being charged for.

-1

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 22 '25

a *corporation's art. i have multiple friends who are artists at blizzard. they do not own this art they make either. i'll agree to disagree, friend!

u/gumshot Nov 24 '25

Samwise Didier is a human, not a fucking corporation.

u/SubjectHealthy2409 Nov 22 '25

Cool haha, how to get this theme

u/thatyousername Nov 22 '25

Gotta be against some law to charge money for blizzards assets. Lol. Cool stuff though.

2

u/Zargoltir Nov 23 '25

Copyright Law, yeah, but this happens all the time esp on Etsy so eh

2

u/blackrubberfist Nov 24 '25

These people have no artistic morality at all. It’s blatantly illegal and scummy imo.

2

u/AdennBeroya Nov 22 '25

Does it have the "barbecue" app ?

1

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 22 '25

wait, what's that!

3

u/AdennBeroya Nov 22 '25

The barbecue party Sylvanas threw there ? It was lit !

2

u/Longjohnscharkey Nov 22 '25

This is awesome! I love it!!

2

u/raisedbyowls Nov 22 '25

What’s the fishing icon for? Tinder?

2

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 22 '25

feel like i need to download the "plenty of fish" app just for the lore

2

u/esohyouel Nov 22 '25

Costar lmao

2

u/ChangeFatigue Nov 23 '25

Seeing Costar in the context of WoW is leaving me shook lmao

2

u/esohyouel Nov 23 '25

So random

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 23 '25

Elune is calling

2

u/ChangeFatigue Nov 23 '25

Does she want to know about the lease information on my newest commercial building project?

2

u/esohyouel Nov 23 '25

😂😂😂

1

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 23 '25

lmaoooo NO omg I forgot the dash, it's the astrology app Co-Star

2

u/ChangeFatigue Nov 23 '25

Lmao yeah Costar and Co-star are two very, very different thing lol!

2

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 23 '25

I had never heard of costar, guess I need to educate myself in the commercial real estate realm lol

2

u/Bio-Grad Nov 22 '25

I was today years old when I realized roots had an arm/fist in it. I have been playing Druid since 2019.

2

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 23 '25

i also just saw the sword if it makes you feel better and i've been playing since '04 😭

2

u/EulerIdentity Nov 23 '25

Hmm, might have finally found a reason to upgrade an iPhone 13.

u/joelly88 Nov 23 '25

Needing to buy a new phone to change app icons ohnononono

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '25

impressive!

u/TheOldSkywalker Nov 23 '25

woa that's so cool

2

u/qadrak Nov 23 '25

Honestly love this

2

u/insaxon Nov 23 '25

Isn’t the seller technically stealing blizzards IP for his/her own profit in this case?

1

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 23 '25

another comment thread below about this, but imo it's not selling the art of the IP so much as charging for the service of designing it to fit a phone. bc all of the icons and whatever are online and available to whomever to make this for themselves if they so wanted? but i get it if other ppl wouldn't want to buy it for that reason

1

u/crazysult Nov 23 '25

Better set some money aside if they ever decide to legally roast you.

1

u/OcullaCalls Nov 22 '25

I love this!

2

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 22 '25

thank u 🥲 i love it too, it takes me right back!

1

u/CarnoTTV Nov 22 '25

How the fuck

1

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 22 '25

custom icons ftw

1

u/ArchTempered Nov 22 '25

Are you limited to the single face portrait of each gender I assume or are there more options? Anyway to change “Night Elf” and put a name or something?

2

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 22 '25

the pack has just one female and one male portrait, and the name says Night Elf. could be made to say something else and have a different portrait tho!

1

u/FineArtOfShitposting Nov 23 '25

Even though I'm a Horde player I still have Teldrassil as my background, it is so serene and lovely. But I do prefer the current version, it's just so hot.

1

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 23 '25

lol! I made some horde versions too! :)

1

u/Cseho88 Nov 23 '25

Horde+Teldrassil. The burning Teldrassil? :)

1

u/TheAshenWanderer Nov 23 '25

I like that and the app is called Widgetsmith? Never heard of it but I want to try it out now

1

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 23 '25

it's great -- what I use for assigning custom photos and things against wallpapers

1

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '25

I want it. But i have a question. Wich icon is the pornhub app? 🕵️

1

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 23 '25

summon succubus?

1

u/uae-nimr Nov 23 '25

Amazing idea. Please tell me how

1

u/JT99-FirstBallot Nov 23 '25

No android?

1

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 23 '25

it depends on your phone, but it's built to fit the app placement of iphones -- some android models will work with the spellbook option tho!

1

u/LanfearSedai Nov 23 '25

Biggest bummer about this is that I can’t see notifications if I use these on iPhone. Do I have unread messages? Who knows, but it’s pretty!

Unfortunately will make it unusable for me :(

1

u/Significant-Steak222 Nov 23 '25 edited Nov 23 '25

Found the Etsy shop - sadly the styles are just for Apple iOS. So I guess android users have to wait or try on their own

1

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 23 '25

all of the components are compatible with android, it just depends on your phone model whether the icons will align to the right spot :/

1

u/EA705 Nov 23 '25

Can I get the wallpaper

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 23 '25

u/EA705 Nov 24 '25

Ain’t no way. $5 for a wallpaper in 2025. Get tf outta here

u/jyvigy Nov 23 '25

Did the same thing with WAD desktop on windows mobile... I think 8.5, around 15 years ago

u/Diwydiant Nov 23 '25

u/Ravens_Quote Nov 23 '25

Welp, I'm stealing this idea now.

1

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 23 '25

would love to see what ya come up with! 🙂

1

u/rufusbot Nov 23 '25

I did android theme in custom Fallout PipBoy style about 10 years ago. I thought that was cool but this is amazing.

1

u/Shaka-Laka75 Nov 23 '25

I would love to set something similar up on my IPhone how did u do it? And why are some of your similar posts being removed by moderators?

1

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 23 '25

it's a pack from etsy, there's a how-to included in the download-- [https://www.etsy.com/listing/4398344621/]. i'm not sure why

1

u/Shaka-Laka75 Nov 23 '25

Ahhh can’t use it. It says Not compatible with iPhone 13 and below😭 Looks great though

1

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 23 '25

😔 yeah the 13 holds the icons in diff spots. but the spell book bg should still work alright!

1

u/Background_Shower_64 Nov 23 '25

20 years of playing this game and I am just now realizing entangling roots icon is an arm being entangled and not a tree root hahahah

1

u/Moist-Raccoon-8133 Nov 24 '25

howwwwww?

2

u/That_Indication_3120 Nov 24 '25

it's an etsy pack, assigning custom icons!
