Hi, hi, my fabulous fiends of the divine and the damned. I've been far too silent, but today I bring you a informative and positive update!

Smoke Test Will Be LIVE — It's Getting Infernal in Here

First off — thank you for being the absolute best by remaining patient with me. The Smoke Test is nearly out! Yes, it’s fashionably late, and I’m genuinely sorry for the delay. Life threw me more curve-balls than an underworld baseball league, but we’re back on track and charging forward. I'll be making another update Monday to make the announcement, so keep an eye on your inboxes!



Why I’ve Been Quiet: Health Flares and Tariff Nightmares

Alright, let’s face the big hellhounds—I got hit with a flare-up of my autoimmune disease, all sparked by the unholy curse of a common cold. It knocked me down longer than I'd expected, but I’m rising back up from the fiery pits, stronger every day, and ready to dive back into work like an angel with a fresh pair of wings—or a hundred new eyes...

At the same time, I’ve been obsessively tracking the international shipping tariff drama between the U.S. and China. It got real ugly for a while. The shipping tariffs skyrocketed to 150% — and no, that’s not a typo. At that rate, it would have cost more than the entire campaign earned just to get the pins into the U.S., not including manufacturing. Wild, right? Now, I know some sources were saying the tariffs might not be that high, but every time I tried to get a straight answer, I ran into conflicting info or vague numbers. Nothing felt solid enough to confidently move forward. 

I thought about updating you all a dozen different ways, a dozen different times, but the truth is… I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t want to stir panic or make promises I couldn’t keep. So I waited.

I also searched high, low, sideways, and possibly into another dimension for manufacturers outside of China — and I mean everywhere. I even discovered that pin manufacturing is technically illegal in the U.S. (which feels weirdly on-brand for this saga, honestly). For a hot second, I seriously considered pulling the plug — not because I was giving up, but because the cost of importing was so outrageous it would’ve devoured everything the campaign earned… and then some. Like, we’re talking “sold my soul to the shipping demons and they still said it wasn’t enough” levels of bad.

I looked back at the sheer wave of support this campaign received — all of you who backed it, believed in it, and helped breathe life into this divine-and-demonic dream — and I thought: somethings gotta give! And wouldn’t you know it — a little holy  beam of hope finally pierced the storm clouds: those dreaded tariffs have dropped to around 30% this month. Still spicy, but no longer soul-crushing. So I dusted off the ashes and cranked this infernal engine back to life.

The Infinite and The Infernal is still happening. These pins are clawing their way into reality — and they’re going to be radiant . 

I’m truly sorry for going quiet. You deserved to hear from me sooner, even if I didn’t have all the answers yet. Thank you — deeply — for your patience, your support, and for sticking with me through the weird silence and shipping chaos. You are the reason this project is still burning bright. 

Surveys will be sent out on Monday, May 19. Yes, they REALLY will. Please complete yours within two weeks — by Monday, June 2 — orders have already been made, but I need proper counts and to stay ahead of any new tariff changes. We’ve got less than 90 days left, and every day counts. Your swift survey response is vital.



I Also Became a Mother... of Kittens

In the middle of production planning, health chaos, and shipping battles… I accidentally added “kitten wrangler” to my resume. Well maybe not so accidentally... I am now their willing servant. Two teeny tabby kittens were stuck in a drainage pipe at a hardware store garden center. 

Naturally, I did what any crazy cat lady would do: rescued them, bottle fed them, bathed them, and began the journey of turning the hissing kittens from feral to friendly. 

 It’s been exhausting and adorable. (Insert obligatory toe bean photo here.) 

Toe bean needs satisfied? On with the update!

To make sure you only pay what’s truly necessary, shipping will be charged closer to the fulfillment date. This allows me to get accurate rates and weights and avoid overcharging anyone. Right now, the priority is getting everything manufactured and shipped to the U.S. before those tariffs climb again or some other logistical monster rears its head.


The Sigils Are Set — Let’s Summon This Thing

I’m beyond thrilled that this is finally possible — and even more grateful to have you in my corner. Your support, patience, and belief in this weird and wonderful collection have kept me going. From cosmic seraphim to corrupted horrors, The Infinite and The Infernal is almost real, and it’s thanks to you. 

So grab your holy swords, light your candles, and burn your sage— it’s time to summon the Infinite & infernal.

With fiery gratitude,
Bunni
