Google search for fuckflake took off in early Oct, and a quick search for the early Tweets about it brought up this one: etsy.com/listing/873034…

#fuckflake was well in use before then, mostly anger at AZ Senator @JeffFlake, til suddenly it was all about these.

one of the earliest of the (i shit you not) 1,712 current esty results for fuckflake:

there's a PG version by @monkeytailz

this iridescent white glitter version by @maura_houston is festive #fuckflake

this wood and acrylic version seemed to be the second oldest #fuckflake on @etsy but it's a little hard to tell for sure: etsy.com/listing/865153…

the current page 31 (!) of @etsy #fuckflake results has a several different patterns instead of the more recent duplicates: etsy.com/search?q=fuckf…

this wooden (stained or painted) version comes with or without the accompanying poem... etsy.com/listing/892364…

the simple closed geometry of this #fuckflake speaks to me etsy.com/listing/893994…

and i think this gold painted wood delicately scripted one is among the prettiest #fuckflake i've seen... etsy.com/listing/903167…

if you want subtle it's a little unclear why you're buying a #fuckflake, but clear acrylic offers sparkle and the chance you'll get away with fewer sets of eyes picking up on the joke... etsy.com/listing/888274…

i rather like this PG version - Script Ss lend themselves to a fancier look... #sucksflake etsy.com/listing/885372…

"I don’t know who invented the Fuckflake but it’s only fair that we find that person and nominate them for some sort of literature prize for inventing what I now believe is the most important word to come out of 2020." Shannon Melero for @Jezebel jezebel.com/merry-christma…

acrylic version...

looks like @Lizz_Porter of Pew Pew Lasercraft and her Dirty Word Snowflake Ornaments is one of the #fuckflake originals.

her designs encompass 4 different words and you can get earrings too!

HT on good authority from @LynetteRadio etsy.com/listing/881534…

OK @Lizz_Porter's designs are original but she relayed that consensus in the laser groups is that Kristie at Kreative Toad originated the popular design you are seeing.

how to buy from Kristie or her licensees: facebook.com/kreativetoad/p…

we just ordered $110 worth of #fuckflakes on @etsy and i still feel like we may have missed some people.

*$150 because we already remembered 4 more folks who NEED one.

(whispers)
there are now 1800 #fuckflakes on @etsy
it's still only Nov 20th.

here's @ericabuteau's: etsy.com/listing/878078…

OMG you all - Kristie is on Twitter too, not just Facebook as previously reported.

@KreativeToad THANK YOU. because all of this is... amazing.
