Guardians of everyday joy

The words they only say where you're from, the jokes you grew up with, the stories from before bedtime. Small doses of magic that disappear if nobody looks after them.

We Magikitos keep them safe.

Heard, not read

Everything sounds like whoever tells it, voice and craft and all, and that is where the magic is.

Voted with mushrooms

Everything people bring gets voted with mushrooms, and that vote makes it more or less visible around the site.

I'm deceased
Janna · United States
"I'm deceased is also another form of, you know, I'm crying, but I feel like it's more intense. So something that like generally is like having you like laughing like a lot, you'd say I'm deceased. An example would be, oh my God, did you see what just happened? The way she slipped? I'm deceased."
You couldn't pay me to
Janna · United States
"You couldn't pay me to blank, so this is something that you'd never do, you'd never agree to do, even if someone pays you to do it, you're not doing that. So an example could be, oh my God, I'll pay you $20 if you stick your hand in the toilet, and then you'd reply, you couldn't pay me to do that, at all."
Pulling someone's leg
Hugues Renaud · United States
"Pulling someone's leg, meaning to mess with someone, to tease them or joke with them by making them believe something that isn't true. Yo dude, remind me where you're from again? Canada. Wait, you're from Canada? Yeah dude, Toronto, born and bred. What? No, stop pulling my leg, you're not from Canada. Yeah, I'm from Texas."

Questions we get a lot

What you ask the Magikitos most often on WhatsApp and by email.

What exactly is Magikitos?

It is a collection of good vibes told out loud. People do not come here to post weekend selfies, they come to leave something far more powerful: their own voice telling a joke, a story or that expression only their town says. Everything here is free and made by all of us together.

Can I buy the Magikitos?

No. The figures are made by hand for the love of creating and shown for you to meet. They have photos, names and stories, but no prices or baskets.

Can I send you a joke or a story?

Of course. You record it straight from your browser, nothing to install: you put your voice in, add effects if you like and hit publish. We clean up the sound and, for stories, lay a little music underneath. It keeps your name on it so other people can enjoy it.

What about an expression from where I am from?

Easier than opening a yoghurt. You write the expression and tell us what it means in your own voice. A guardian Magikito checks it over and publishes it with your name on it. And if you spot a mistake on an entry somebody else made, you can ask the guardian Magikito to take another look.

What are setines?

Well, being the proper Magikitos we are, we measure everything in setines, which work both for measuring the absolutely relative magnitude of things and for reputation around here: you earn them by bringing stuff in and they show up on your profile. They are the sign that you have brought good vibes to the community.

How are Magikitos born?

When someone takes a happy shit in the woods. A nose pops out of the leaves, and there you have a little sprite ready for mischief.

Where can I see the brownie figures?

In the brownies section, each one with its own page: real photos, a name and a way of being. They are grouped into families by what each one looks after, so you can have a nose at who guards the home, who guards dreams and who guards good luck.

Do I need an account to take part?

No. Listening, reading and voting need nothing at all, and when you bring something of yours we give you a Magikito name on the spot. If you want what you bring to stay with you, sign in with your email or with Google, no passwords.
