Though overshadowed by her husband, Zelda Fitzgerald was herself a fine novelist. This shirt is designed to honor her memory through the symbolic representation of the many facets of her far-too-short life. The bottle represents the alcoholism that strained her marriage, and the sword the strength that kept her fighting, even when admitted to a sanatorium. The gems refer to that happier time known as “the Jazz Age” when she was young and famous, while the bomb her sense of drama, which only added to her self-destructiveness. And finally, the hearts imply the love she shared with… what? Really? And it was for Nintendo?

Wear this shirt: when you’re going to be around gamers. They’ll be very impressed. And if they’re not, you can tell everyone they’re not really that into video games. Everyone will laugh and ask them to leave, and that’s one less person between you and your turn.

Don’t wear this shirt: on an airplane. Someone is going to freak out that there’s a drawing of a bomb and then you’ll get taken into the little back room and frisked and you’ll miss your plane and then somehow they’ll get our name and we’ll instantly roll over on fablefire and then she’ll be on the no-fly list for the rest of her life. Sorry, fablefire. But we’re not goin’ back to the joint for anyone.

This shirt tells the world: “It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this.”

We call this color: Nobody Touch This Controller, I’m Going To Go Get Ice Creme And Come Right Back, Seriously, Do Not Touch This Controller, No, Seriously, If You Touch It I Will Kill You, I Mean It, I Am Not Kidding, Don’t Touch The Controller While I Am Gone.
