Late to the campaign? Don't worry, you can still pre-order all the campaign relevant pins, patches and sticker sets here!
This post is for backers only. Please visit Kickstarter.com and log in to read.
Hello there, you amazing, awesome people :D
We actually did it; the campaign is officially over and just...wow...just...woah...when we started, we at least wanted to get the first five designs out into the world, but man, you guys just crushed it!
Not only did we unlock ALL THE 15 DESIGNS, but we now can also turn these guys into PATCHES and even went as far as to help us get 6 ADDITIONAL DESIGNS unlocked within a matter of days at a point of the campaign where we were preeetty confident we would have to settle with like three extra designs unlocked. Nah, not with you guys :D
889% funded with over 35k is still mind-blowing to us. This is our first project of this scale, so I do not understate when I tell you how much thsi means to us how overwhelmed we still are by the result, the fact that we get to produce and share all these beautiful creations as things that will actually exist in the world, and you will be able to hold and share, and we truly owe it all to you!
So from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you all so very, very much, not just our amazing supporters and backers, but everyone who shared and lifted our spirits, left comments and thoughts of kindness, and shared excitement, but who also granted us input and inspiration for our designs and the creative process (shoutout to all the lovely queer Reddit forums out there. You guys are amazing!)
So, what comes next?
With the end of the campaign, we can now start focusing on preparing for the next phase. Our fulfillment of our promise to you to make these pins happen and to have them all shipped to you safe and sound.
But how does that work?
When do I get to choose my pins?
Can I add anything to my pledge if I would like more or even change my pledge level?
Well, we got you covered, introducing:
BackerKit is an amazing post-campaign tool that is extremely powerful and allows us to give you a TON of power over your pledges and changes you may have in the coming weeks!
We are sure many a seasoned super backer is very familiar with this process, but when I first backed a Kickstarter, I still remember the confusion. So we will keep it simple.
FUNDING
Kickstarter is now going to attempt to charge your cards—if your payment has an issue, they’ll let you know and give you a chance to fix it and reminders aplenty. So please check if everything is in order with your payment.
Kickstarter then is going to take approximately 2 weeks to release the campaign funds to us.
SURVEYS
-Once we have the funds, we’ll be sending a survey (via Backerkit) to the email you used to back the campaign! We've gotten a few messages so far asking us where you tell us what your selection is--this is where you'll do that! This will also apply to all your add-ons you got during the campaign. You didn't miss it, so don't worry.
-The survey phase is when you tell us which items you want, your shipping address, and pay for shipping.
-Since Backerkit is AWESOME, if you accidentally pledged for the wrong level during the campaign, you’ll be able to change it once surveys go out! Don’t worry about that.
-If you wanted a specific number of pins/patches/combos that weren’t in a tier, you’ll be able to add that to your order in BackerKit when surveys go out, no problem. We have got all the add-ons for Extra Pins, Patches, Sticker Sets, and even limited Custom Coat of Arms Commissions, which you can add to your existing pledge!
-For all our pre-launch mailing list backers who wish to redeem their code to receive their FREE Kickstarter Exclusive Sticker Set, you will be able to enter it in the survey, and we will add the set to your pledge free of charge!
Once these surveys go out, we will wait for you guys to come back to us with all the info we need. This will usually take around a month, since we want to be sure everyone has enough time to fill their survey out in peace and give us a good picture of how many pins and of what kind we need to produce.
We will, of course, keep you all updated about each step of the process, and remember kids: there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers, so should any questions still arise, please do not hesitate to reach out to us via Kickstarter or via our e-mail:
Late Pledges
Also, if you really wanted to support our Kickstarter but arrived too late to the party, worry not ( I know the pain deeply and am too familiar with it...). We will allow late pledges until the 15th of August!
So stay tuned, as more updates and news will drop in the coming weeks! This has been such a learning expierience on all fronts and if it may seem that we are a bit slow, it is just us wanting to make sure we do everything properly so you can have the smoothest and best experience getting your well earned rewards!
So for now, sit back and bask in the glow of knowing that all of you guys made this possible :D This is on you!!
That said, we are still blown away by all this love and support, and thank you yet again for making this project a reality!
Take care of each other, love thyself, and thank you all so very much!
Cheers!

You guys are amazing!
We did not think we would get so close so quickly in unlocking all of our pin stretch goals but here we are! Feels like we just blinked and three new pins just had been unlocked!
Houses Demi, Butch and Agender join the party!
And so that you can truly have them all and have as many as you want, we added our final little add-on for you guys!
THE EXTRA PINS ADD-ON
Now you can add as many pins as you like to any of your pledges, should you wish to collect every single one of our designs ;D
Thank you sooo much guys and see you at the end of the campaign!
Love you all
Cheers!

Hello, you beautiful, awesome people!
We are nearing the end of this campaign and the wild ride it has been for us. It has been amazing, heartwarming, and spectacular all the way for us, so we wanted to end it on a bang!
First off, our new and last stretch goals. I know, I know this seems a bit optimistic to be launching such lofty goals so close to the campaign, but we had the designs prepared for some time, and if anything, it is just nice to share them with all of you.
The Army of PRIDE grows, and so six additional houses shall attempt to join the fray.
We have:
-House Kraken of Agender
-House Selkie of Demi
-House Valkyrie of Butch
-House Cerberus of Polyamory
-House Chimera of Genderqueer
-House Gargoyle of Ally
We would love to have these be made into patches as well, but we do understand the campaign only goes for a couple of days and the goal is set high, yet even if we do not manage to fund them all and you were really looking forward to seeing one of these designs as a pin or patch for yourself or somebody close to you, take heart!
Even if all these designs won't fund, we will crank them out as pins and patches in time. The Kickstarter has helped us be able to create the first 15 designs as pins, so even if these last 6 don't make it, we will invest our own resources to have them made eventually, but it would just take more time, effort, and saving up some money on the side to get them produced, so feel free to follow us on our socials or our Etsy store for when these designs might drop:

ADD-ONS
We have heard your cries and pleas, and we shall answer!
Many have inquired about potential Add-ons especially for the patches, so here it is! No stretch goal needed!
For the end of the campaign, you can add any number of Patches, additional stickers from our cute Chibi Sticker Sets or claim the mythical Kickstarter Exclusive Sticker Set, which was a set originally designed and created for supporters who were part of our pre-kickstarter mailing list campaign. They were such a joy to design and make, and we put a lot of work and love into them. They will ONLY BE AVAILABLE VIA KICKSTARTER!
They are high quality, sturdy, and a bit bigger than the Chibi Sticker Sets. They consist of 15 designs, each corresponding to the proper design of their Coat of Arms.
!IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PEOPLE FROM OUR MAILING LIST!
The Kickstarter Exclusive Sticker Set will be given to you after the end of the campaign. In our survey we will ask you for the code you have been given in your e-mail, which will add a FREE Kickstarter Exclusive Sticker Set to your pledge, so you don't need to buy the add-on, just wait for the surveys to go out and fill in your code. We will take care of the rest ;D
This has been an amazing ride, you guys. We are currently working hard to figure out and set up Backerkit for the post-campaign fulfillment, so please bear with us if we are a bit slow to act or respond right now.
Take care everyone.
Cheers

THE PEOPLE DEMAND PATCHES! THEN GIVE THEM PATCHES!
Hello, dear, amazing, beautiful people!
Yeah, we did it! Our Patches Stretch Goal has now been unlocked, and we are so happy to bring these designs to life not only as beautiful pins but also as amazing patches! And it's all thanks to you! So thank you so much!
So close to the end, we were not sure if putting an extra stretch goal out would be worth it, but you guys proved us wrong :D
With this stretch goal, we also added 2 NEW PLEDGES!
You now have the choice to either upgrade your existing pledge to include the same amount of patches as pins pledged:
Or if you are just here for the patches, get yourself the solo patches pledges (hehe funny word combination):
Also for anyone uncertain to upgrade their pledge or maybe just want to keep their pin pledge but would love a certain amount of patches to be added to their pledge, worry not!
We are currently looking into offering the individual patches AND pins as Add-ons but are looking into Backerkit for this. We are still very new to this entire Kickstarter and crowdfunding scene and are working hard in the background to ensure everything runs smoothly, but getting things sorted out with a full-time job can get a bit time-consuming, so we are thankful for your patience.
But to sum things up, we WILL offer individual pins and patches as add-ons down the line; we are just not certain yet in which form. So stay tuned :D
Speaking of staying updated. We do have something planned for the grand finale of this Kickstarter, so maybe check in again later as we reveal our last Stretch Goals
Love you all
Cheers
