Feeling nostalgic and wanting to help
Man, it's been a while.
Round about ten years ago, I got swept up in what would be a craze that would define fandom for many. Back in those early days, we were jamming, man. It was the wild west as we figured out how to go forward. My earliest project, the famous pony shoes, was a runaway success, and I used the profits to make some awesome donations to charity. For a few years in a row, everyone out there who contributed helped make Christmas much more than 20% cooler for a lot of kids through Toys for Tots. Honestly, I miss those days. I opened a t-shirt shop after since it was less volatile than the shoe business, and that ended up doing a lot of good over time too, but changes to the internet over the last decade took it's toll. Well, there's a lot going on in the world right now, and though it may not be much, I again want to help.
So to that end, I opened a new t-shirt shop and have brought back some of my best designs. I couldn't bring back everything, but I made sure to include the ones that people found most popular back in the day. Some of these designs haven't been available for sale in almost ten years. Man, time really disappears, huh? When I did my shoes project, all my profits went to Toys for Tots, this time I'm going to be donating to the relief efforts in Ukraine. I don't know how much of an impact I can make on a war effort just selling nerdy t-shirts, but I'm compelled to try. By all means, if you want to support Ukraine, you don't have to buy a shirt from me. There are plenty of ways to donate, but if you'd like to throw in some support and get a nostalgic pony shirt, this is my small way of helping.
Please check out https://fim-elements.storenvy.com/ to see the selection. It's been a long time since I've done this, and a lot has changed in ten years, but I'm confident that friendship will always be magic. Good to be back.
Someone whom I admire once said this,
Just something I try to keep in mind.
Retiring some shirts
It's cool, got plenty of new stuff in the works.
Peace.
I don't understand llamas
Also, Super Hero Taisen is in theaters in Japan, and I am not. This is a problem.
Avengers is going to rock all kinds of awesome.
Don't call it a comeback
That being said, I've got some new designs set to hit the stores over the next few days. Look for the long, long, long awaited and oft delayed Sugarcube Corner and Gilda shirts, as well as a shirt based on Q. I mean Discord, him yeah. I gotta keep up with the times, you know.
Also, on another note, my UK store has been doing rather poorly. Due to difference in available merchandise between the UK and US versions of spreadshirt, but I try my best to keep the available merch as similar as possible. What worries me is that I have a poor grasp of foreign currencies, so I hope my UK store isn't horribly overpriced or anything. Someone from over on that side of the world please let me know how the store is.
I've been playing a lot of Deus Ex lately. Not Invisible War, but the other two. Ponies and conspiracies are an interesting combination.
