Just Thinkin’ Bout Dad Satoru Vs Dad Toji Ya Know

she’s kind of like ophelia in saint laurent sunglasses

I've been giffing/live blogging about mack and will for most of their rookie season, and now I'm planning to put those posts into a more organized, easier-to-reference timeline! more info below the read more:

please don't repost any of this on twitter or other social media sites! feel free to privately share links to this or use it for your own reference, but I'm making this specifically for tumblr. I don't want it to be picked up by an algorithm or seen outside of this specific fandom context.

how this post works

the timeline is a work in progress, and I'll probably be making updates/additions to it throughout the offseason as I go through the tag and fill in gaps. to have the most current information for reference, I'd recommend reblogging or bookmarking this post and using it to follow the links below. this post is like a table of contents that will send you to the most current version of the linked posts. the pink-highlighted links will probably take the most time to complete, because I didn't have a dedicated "baby shark scrapbook" tag until november. if there's a relevant moment from the beginning of the season that you think should be included on the timeline, let me know!

new tagging system

as I put together the separate timeline posts, I'm going to add new organizational tags: "2425" to indicate that the posts happened in the 2024-25 season; the date of the game in a "mm.dd.yy" format; whether the subject of the post is happening "pregame," "midgame," or "postgame"; and a tag indicating which teams were playing/who was the home team (ex. "sjs@dal" or "dal@sjs" - the first team is the away team, and they're @ the second team's arena). if the post happened outside of a game ("between games," "preseason," or "postseason"), I'll tag it as "interview," "social media," or "practice," depending on what's most applicable. I'll also add a few tags indicating the content of the post: "transcript," "video," "podcast," "photo," "gif," or "article." transcripts could be transcripts of videos/podcasts or live-blogged broadcaster commentary. you might know this already, but if you go to the search bar of a blog, you can search for combinations of tags by looking up "[tag 1] + [tag 2]". so, for example, if you wanted to see gifs from the sharks' games against boston, you could search for "gif + sjs@bos + bos@sjs”
