Melody & YOI

FINALLY!!!

This has been so painful 🥲 but truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for being so patient! The YOI pins went thru h3ll and back, but they’re finally being shipped to me on Monday!

I’ll work to have these out as soon as possible! Once they’re in my hands, I’ll take better pictures of the pins. 💜

If you have changed your address, please please please e-mail me so I can make sure these are sent to your new addres...

Important Updates! Please Read ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ♡

Henlo friends!

I wanted to give an update on Melody & YOI. It seems my main factory is still experiencing setbacks ever since the New Year Holiday break. Melody has completed for a while now, but YOI pins were sent back because my rep noticed the majority had plating issues.

Unfortunately, they are not in my hands (nor are !llumi & R0bin). They've estimated the YOI remakes should be completed by the end of this week though! However, I would prefer to not submit ...

Pausing ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ♡

Hello everyone!

I've been mulling over this, but I decided to pause this month in hopes of putting some energy into some of the pin suggestions you all made! It's actually been quite a while that I've felt a lot of excitement and inspiration about a pin series so.. a;lksdjf;ajsdf thank you! On top of that, the events from earlier this month really delayed me, and I'm still playing catch up, so I'd rather give everything the proper time and care.

Out of Town

Hi friends,

For the next two days, I’ll be out of town (technically out of the state), for a family emergency. This was completely unexpected.

I figured it was best to send this update so you know why there will be a delay with shipments.

Meanwhile, I have a long car ride, so I will do my best to answer emails during this period (as well as process refunds), but if you do not get a reply by today, please do not worry! I’ll get to them 💜

I...

ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ♡

Thank you so much everyone for a successful update!!! It makes me extremely happy to hear that many of you were able to cross off an ISO from your list so you can focus on something new! If you weren't able to, please don't give up </3

I do plan to restock whatever I can, however, please know it won't be soon, but I hear you and I will try my best. My next restock will mostly consist of Patreon pins that many of you have been waiting on + Kyon!

Today's Drop

Edit: I just realized I forgot  to mention an important detail! Please refer to the images I posted of the fillers. 

The 5 mini set will be called "hunter set" 

3 troupe fillers will be called "troupe trio." 

Both will be in the same listing, but I figured knowing ahead of time will help you choose when selecting in the drop down menu!

Hi everyone!

Pin Drop: Final Reveals

Final Reveals for all the items dropping this friday @ noon CST!

Very Quickly: I've received a few e-mails from some of you who missed the 24 hour discord link. Next week, I'll issue out another one so you can access the server, but it will be a 24 hour link again!

Lastly, If you have not received tracking for your patreon package, please do not worry! Sadly, I'm still working on them, but rest assured that they'll be shipped by tomor...

Discord Access & Next Reveal

Hello!

I've issued out a patreon message to all patrons who were billed on April 1st with information about how to access discord and the new secret shop password.

A link to the secret shop is also located on my patreon home page!

In regards to discord, I'll start approving verification forms tomorrow, so please be aware that you won't have instant access </3 I know the verification system is a pain, but please know it's only implemented to protect everyone in the server....

Shipping Update & Next Pin Drop.

Hello peeps!

Some quick Updates!!

• If you have any questions or concerns, please send me a patreon message or e-mail. I should get back to everyone by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

April FanArt! Family Man !llumi & Dressrosa Rob!n

Edit: Many of you are reporting that the tiers show as "sold out." Please make sure you check via your browser instead of the app! It seems the app has a glitch. 

I hope you all enjoy what I whipped up this month! 

Pin A: !llumi

If you pledged for Pin A, you'll receive this menacing/controlling !llumi & Kill set! I've been enjoying the added charms in my pin designs, so I decided to make the little plush Kill a dangling charm!

Kuroro & Lelouch

I forgot to share these images here! I’ll be receiving these pins this week! Since my priority is getting these out to you all, I’ll be pushing the March drop to April.

Please keep in mind that it takes a while to check, clean, back and pack all of the pins, and there will be a slight delay too since I’ll be working on the new designs during this period as well.

The last pins for this upcoming drop will be here sometime next week too, so I’ll slowly s...

April Suggestions

Alright y'all..

After reading every entry, I couldn't single out an individual passage to win. There were so many good ones!! I really want to thank you all for taking the time to devote your heart to write about the characters you love. This is my favorite way to select designs since the creation process becomes more special when you know you're handling a character that's special to someone else too. <3

I decided to leave the ultimate winners in your hands, so please select y...

Suggestions for Pin B!

Hello everyone!

Thank you for allowing me to take a mini patreon break <3 I've noticed there are a lot of new members (Hi, hello, welcome!! :3), so I wanted to squeeze in a lil tidbit about how rewards are decided. Every other month, I usually get a spark for an idea or series I want to pursue, but in between those months, I leave the poll decisions in the hands of patrons! I'm going to do a mixture of both for this upcoming month.

Pin B will be on3 piece fanart

Updates!

Henlo peeps!

I hope you've all been doing well <3 I wanted to pop in and update you all about a few things! First & foremost, as I previously mentioned, March rewards will also be paused! This means that on March 1st, you will not be charged by my Patreon, and there will not be any new rewards/designs

At the beginning of March, I will make a post asking all of you for suggestions again, and thereafter, we will have a poll to decide...

Pin Drop Tomorrow!

Updates:

If you missed something today, please don't worry! My main goal for the first half of the year is to restock most of the sold out Patreon designs. I'm waiting just a while until things return to normal after the Chinese new year.

I also saved plenty of Dazai and Menchi to make sure I could cover any patrons if their mail is lost, so I will list those in about a month.

Thank you everyone for all of your support today!! I'm very sorry if you missed ...

Pin Drop & Pausing

EDIT:  The drop date is NEXT Thursday [1/28].

Pausing means payments are paused, and you will not be charged for the next two payment cycles.

Hello peeps!

Just an update. I should be done packing everything by Monday. I'm so very sorry it's taken so long! As you receive shipment emails, please double check to see if your address is correct (only if you have moved in the past few months). If you've emailed me in the past about a change of ...

Discord Access

Henlo peeps!

I've revamped my discord to add new security measures, so tomorrow afternoon I will issue out the new discord link via patreon messages!!! The link will only be sent to members who were billed on January 1st, so if you joined after that, you will not have access.

I'm making this post here in case some of you have questions once the link goes live tomorrow.

Originally, I was going to limit it to 50 invites, but I managed to figure out a better system. The code wi...

January Rewards | Patreon Shipments

EDIT: I forgot to mention! For the Gold Variants, Melody will have pearl on the music score & Flute, and YOI will have pearl on the clouds & rings.

Hello everyone! I'm sorry the reveal is late :(

My YOI piece turned into something.. rather different and I got hung up on the details. I intended to draw them in a very soft and cute way, but then It turned into this Celestial Gods type of theme? I honestly don't know how it evolved into this but it did. I didn't even intend...

*IMPORTANT* Please read! Tip Jar Tier Slots Open

Hello! I have some important information about tiers, so please please read the whole post to familiarize yourself! 

I've opened the Tip Jar tier once again, so if you aren't interested in the upcoming rewards for January, you can move into that tier. <3 This will free up pin slots for those who are interested in the upcoming rewards.

January Winners

Very quickly! I'd like to let everyone know that Dazai and Menchi are on their way to me :3 The tracking says it should arrive by next week, so I'll most likely start QC, backing, packing and shipping by Jan 1st. Please keep in mind, it will take me about 3 weeks to complete everything, but I'm not going to rush myself like I usually do to prevent errors during the shipment process!

I've been receiving a lot of e-mails about getting discord access. I'm still not prepared...

January: Pin B Submissions!

IMPORTANT: All Kurapika, Oikawa, & Kyos have been shipped! If you didn't receive a tracking email last week, please send me an e-mail so I can check on it for ya :)

Hello peeps!

I wanna try something fun again! The last time I tried this method, we got uwu Bakugo as a pin reward, so I'm hoping your impassioned submissions will inspire something new for this month.

January: Pin A Submissions!

December Patreon Rewards.

Here is the art for the December Patreon rewards!!

Pin A: Chrollo

Since I increased the patreon prices last month, I'm able to cover the judgement chain charm this time!!! :3 This means, the charm will be included, and you won't have to make an additional purchase on my website.

Glitter Variant will have red glitter on the book, and purple glitter on the tie.

Gold Variant will have pearl enamel on his shirt and bandage. 2020-12-01 08:10:10 +0000 UTC View Post

Drop at 12pm CST

Edit: Please copy/paste the password formatting exactly! Don't forget to include the punctuation -- that seems to be causing the most confusion, so I'm so sorry for that! 

The secret shop password is working. The main shop site password (PLSEARLYVOTE) was disabled. Please try accessing the secret shop again with last night's password!

Hello! I know some were confused from last night's message.
