How it started

I'll bring you back months ago when i made my current moth pfp , it was inspired by Che's & Fooo's reaction memes , the known goblin face which i really loved and always laughed when saw it , it honestly always made me feel better when i was not in a good psychological mood.
It was a funny pfp made with Paint lol.

After some time, a little before the end of the year i was like "I want to make my edition of the Che's goblin but moth-like" so i commented on one of Che's posts and asked if i could do it since it's his meme, che replied and gave me his blessing and mentioned that it was not him who created it but Zeny(fooos intern)! I had no idea tbh :3. So i went straight to photoshop and just did a silly doodle with my mouse , the first moff, showed it to my best frens in the Glue Factory Discord , they liked it and i offered to make them one as well, they agreed and that's basically how it all started.

Requests.

After posting them, the DMs started appearing , anons from ct asking me to make one for them as well , asking me how much it costs etc giving me related photos/colors. I was like well why not make some it's funny and seems easy to do plus they are silly memerinos. I just replied with is free, i didn't want to charge anything as i am not an artist and this is not a professional work as you can see with the un-even lines and simple shade mistakes. Some called them "shit" also haha which is okay i didn't get mad or sad.

Out of nowhere i had received like 100 requests + within a few days starting right before the end of the year and increasing right after. I didn't get paid for anything since that's the least i could do with all the blessings i have gotten in the last months of 2022, details i will not get into but i am more than grateful for everything that happened , both me and my mom.

As i said requests kept coming, some insisted that i give them my wallet address for a tip as it cheered them up and gave them a smile , so the first thing that came to my mind since it was also cold outside and we in our neighborhood do this was to ask them maybe to help a stray or donate to an animal shelter either via the internet or their local one and most actually did and also sent me a separate tip to keep for me and my mom which i did and also gave most of it to shelters as well.

These silly doodles became like a must but i wanted to keep them as simple jpegs and not nftiddies because i didn't want to get money involved, first is a huge responsibility and also the whole nft thing can turn into a different direction easily. Thats what i told ,

"these pfps are not nft just jpegs we wear them , shidpost and if u want help animals shelters and strays”,

most vibed with this and supported it , of course there always were those who wanted to take advantage of it , ruin this etc.

One thing that was happening often was the question "Wen nft , where collection , how to buy " lol. Ngl i felt some pressure at some point and got lot of frens to dm me and ask me if i am okay , to take some hiatus and enjoy, but i quickly kinda ignored those who were pressuring me and listened to my frens and gud people.

For you to know , i am not an expert of any sort especially around the nfts, everything i do , i learn it now.

We are at like hundreds of goblinarinos and gave away a gud chunk of the tips & monies but i saw most want this on chain for some reason and the demand is rapidly increasing. After discussing with my favorite ting (basically asking for advice) on "Wat do???" and having an idea as to how to please most of you & also help more i came up with this -with the advice of 2 great people in this space-. The announcement was made and the post was tweeted. The mint price was set as to a small amount so everyone could get their own goblinarino on chain. Those who couldn’t afford could get a free mint as some goblin donated a big amount to cover it.

Collection.

I clearly stated this from the very beginning that i do not plan to take anything from the profits and people called me dumb i mean yeah is not like i don't want to make money i do but NOT with Goblinarinos, their goal is to help the people who do gud in this world and to help the smol tiny tings , animals are much better than most hoomans. Yes i want to retire my old mom so she can stop cleaning houses as a work all this years but ill do it on my own maybe with another project if it ever comes or something i don't think of it much or ill get anxious again.

So all earnings + fees -> Shelters
We as Goblinarinos shidpost , have fun , help, goblins are tricksters and naughty but we respect each-other :) hopefully (you build the community not me).

And that's it , frens started dming me to put theirs in the collection some that have forgotten that i even sent them one back when it was nothing yet but when it was worth something they wanted it, not even saying a thanks or like even a "nice shit doodle bro" would be okay lmao , started with a few mints , quickly they all wanted it, some insta list it for sale , some keep , some list for 69 some for 420 , some fully support the whole idea and not looking at the money, some do.

I have 0 issues with all of that , is your goblinarino , your child , you do whatever u want i have been saying since the VERY beginning , fees are generated = more donations.

Now.

Currently all the positions are closed ,

I have been making them for more than a month now.

i get new dms and SOME not everyone talk like i owe them something but fr idgaf, some are really sweet and kindly with respect talk to me , i mean being friendly to someone u dont know is nice no? don't be an ass like i owe u something.

The first 500 have a deadline to "mint" theirs with the last day being 15th of February, failing to do so means they wont be able to put theirs in the collection at all = less supply in the collection BUT the jpeg is there and the original idea alive :3.

I might be doing some custom requests for some but not putting them in the collection but definitely at some point i will stop doing the requests once and for all as to give this "exclusive" feeling to the first people who supported this.

Public mint wen? Once the deadline ends will see how many OGs were minted and based on that number i will do the rest of the collection open for the public. Is a lot of work and keep in mind i do all of this while i work IRL , come back from my 9 hours a day or more job everyday for a long time and i take

nothing from it, please be fcuking patient.

Wanting to also move to our own contract so we can enter markets liek Blur x2y2 Looksrare etc

Lot of plans which i will not share as i dont like to give empty promises , i like to do actual work like i have done all this time.
I am just one person keep in mind and don't listen to anyone who speaks on my part or at least verify it first by asking me, i already had multiple anons wanting to take advantage of me and this.

Thanks:

Big thanks first of all to every single one of you for supporting all of this, the whole idea behind it, thank to you for building the community, for making memes , for making your own art based on goblinarinos for trying to help me out. We all from mints and fees have given more than 14,000$ usd and that's just from the fees and mints i am not including the separate donations u have made guys and girls, thats more than 16K in total and more to come.

Also want to say a big thanks for Che & Fooo for being amazing and giving the inspiration for the goblins, Fooos Intern Zeny for being the father of the original Goblin and Pollo2x for making the first Goblin Face reaction meme!
is a chain of inspiration really.

219 & Smolting for being amazing and giving me their advice and help.

special love to smolting as its my most favorite account on CT my mom even made a knitted version of it i love u so much and you have made my day , gave lot of laughs and played a big role in improving my psychological mood lot of times.

And my frens at Glue Factory Horse Rooster Slug Sochy Space Cowboi Summer Clams and Topsy

I hope i wrote everything in detail not missing some important tings and with a nice separation that wont give u autism from reading it lmfao.
