We have a bit of a mixed bag for today's update- so lets start with the good news and move along from there~

First, the surveys are complete! I have already sent out the smoke test surveys to a few of you (about 5% of backers), so please check your inboxes! If you received one of these advanced surveys, please fill it out as soon as you can and let me know if you encounter any spelling mistakes, missing items, wrong prices, or missing images. If you encounter any hiccups, please let me know by either commenting on this update, messaging me on Instagram @apothecaryoctopus, or sending me an email at [email protected].

Next, all the designs are finally done! You may remember from a previous update that I was reworking two of the familiar designs because I wasn't super happy with them how they were looking, and I want to give you all the best product I can make. Here are the new designs!

These as well as the other 3 familiar designs will be shown all together at the end of this update :)
In the survey, you will also have the opportunity to choose which design you want, or choose the mystery option and let your familiar choose you~

New B-Grade Items: I wanted to get a head start on ordering everything for this campaign, so I ordered the majority of the stickers (8 designs) last week from my usual sticker manufacturer, and unfortunately these came out both blurry and smaller than I expected. I will be looking for a new manufacturer to remake these, but I will also be listing these stickers as 'b grade' for 50% off ($2 each)! You can find these in the add-on section of the survey. These stickers are about 2.7" instead of 3", and the blur really only affects my watermark (brand name) and makes the edges a little fuzzy, but otherwise they're still waterproof and super durable. Grab one or grab a set for an extra discount!

Here's all the pins, majors, stickers, and familiars all together! Please feel free to have this update open in one tab while you fill out your survey so you can see what your options are while you fill it out. I have also included images of each option in the pledge questions, but sometimes I like having all my options in one spot so I know what to look for :)

Bonus Items: Like I mentioned in the last update, there are also 2 last last stretch goals available in the add-on section of the survey- the Pride Crest Pins (2) and Cold Fire Skull Candle! These will only be made/ unlocked if we reach a certain order count for each of them, and if we don't make that goal, your card won't be charged for them. In addition, there are also some leftover goodies from my last campaign available too, as well as some more mystery bags and miscellaneous items from my stand-alone shop.
These are totally optional, but if you order through the survey you'll get a small discount on these items and save on shipping since they'll all be packed together :)
