You just unlocked a core memory for me with Samantha Mumba! You don't know but I needed that so bless you and your beautiful soul for having impeccable taste in music 💚
AHHHHH!!! Bless YOU for this message!!! I wasn't sure whether to include Samantha, tbh, because she's not someone whose music is still talked about so people might be like "A timeless bop??? I've never heard of it." 😭 But you DID and now I know there was someone else out there experiencing the same joy through her songs. 🙏🤗
Just stopping in to say I'm glad your Yotes did good thing for you tonight :) I love that for you and seeing your happy posts about them is lifting my spirits.
😁😁😁
I don't think even half of how happy/excited i am is actually coming through. I fell out of my chair when that goal was disallowed trying to stand up to fast, my Yotes aren't the best but we can't say they don't try or that they don't bestow upon us gifts
Hi friends, here's some close ups of the Geno patch! Patches can be ordered here by selecting an already existing design and specifying that you want the "Geno Penguin Patch"! The embroidery was designed by Phil from Gulo Gulo Geeks who spent a lot of time going back and forth with me getting the art and color right. The final patch turned out absolutely wild, I never thought I'd see my art in thread form. The colors are as true to the original art as we could get, and the only part not identical to the og Geno patch is the fake 'merrowed edge' around the border instead of a real one. Also keep in mind, I'm not making any money off of this myself, I know we're toeing the line here between 'parody' and 'copying' the og Goo*rin bros design. These are just for fun! And you have to iron or sew them onto the hat (or anything!)(you could even iron one onto a jersey! scandalous!) yourself. I'm including an example of how to order and some process photos under the cut
And here's some of the work in progress moments:
For full disclosure, I have three copies of the patch myself. One for practice, one for me, and then one I'm gonna fanmail to the arena in pittsburgh. And I fully plan on using alcohol based markers to add in some subtle colors to make it look closer to the original art. And I might try to glue/cut the 'penguin' words so they're actually separate (hence the 'practice' one lol!). So eventually if you see my patch sewed onto the hat and it looks a little different than these ones straight from the machine, that's why :)
Tagging friends who liked/reblogged the preview post here: @robindrake13 @warmupbrawl @imjustemo4genoyall @shotgunshipping @pathophage @gordiemeow @randomnoteforfuturereference @artemistlbreadco @stardew-allie @good-night-space-kid @itsmusomuse Sorry if I missed anyone!
A selection of blogs i follow for their top quality geno (and hockey!) content. Posting because tumblr absolutely sucks at making a top blogs list.
@ehghtyseven : all the best geno gifs, and also the most compete tagging system i have seen in the pens fandom. There's tags for geno in glasses, geno's long long legs, its never ending, im so impressed! I go onto the blog for one gif set and next thing i know i've clicked on like six side tags and scrolled through like ten pages dedicated to geno's left ear or something, i love it.
@zukirillo : I came for the geno gifs but i stayed after zukirillo's liveblogging pulled on my heart strings and i got sucked into the wild fandom. My favorite thing about the wild fandom is that even when yall are winning you make it sound like a very heartfelt heartwarming disaster. Also all the inside jokes.
@robindrake13 : a friend! beloved mutual who lets me ramble about geno in messages! Pretty much exclusively hockey content that never misses anything geno related. Also bonus kappy appearances. ^_^ #42
@imjustemo4genoyall : dude the tag commentary is amazing
@goaliekisses : self explanatory, this is where i get all my pens news. Always posts the best gifs of everybody on the team (with a few good exceptions). If there's any tea posts, i trust the judgement. Never misses anything related to sid or geno! Im so glad i wasnt here for last summer's geno trade drama, i dont think my heart could take it. But like....if anything like that ever happens again...i know where to turn to for updates.
