First one I want to apologise for poofing. I've been very sick both physically and mentally. I made some very stupid choices which luckily didn't succeed. Whilst I won't go into detail, as I'm sure most of you understand what I'm implying, I do want to take a moment to remind everyone to please reach out to your friends, family or even your countries services if you are in a dark place.
I have basically just been in recovery mode, some days I get stuff done some days I don't. It's all been a lot. I have definitely been avoiding saying anything as it's idk embarrassing? I guess. Shameful idk
I know this has all taken a lot longer than planned, and I know that's a disappointment to a lot of you. I never intended for it to take so long. I am slowly working through the packages on the days I can so you should all start seeing them arrive soon.
After everything is done I'm taking a big long break to let my self fully recover and be better.
Sorry for the quietness I've been head down finishing up on the other campaigns.
I am frustratingly still waiting on soy sauce :/ it's taking almost as long as all the other pins which is wild to me?? I know liquid pins must take a bit longer but god.
I've asked from some photos so I can update on that soon.
Tariffs wise no one has anything to worry about, Ill be doing prepaid duty which is marked as such. For this campaign( and any before tariffs) I'm not charging cause you've already paid but going forward you may find campaigns including mine will charge like £1 extra for it
I won't lie I am behind! I am sorry for that. I'm hoping to finish up the Eva campaign this week and then I'll start shipping out these
Thank you all for your patience, I know it's taken longer than it should have
my apologies for missing an update last month! The pins have arrived, they look good.
Bad news is i am just straight up missing soy sauce sigh, ive spoken to the manu about this and its being made (i paid for it before it just ...yeah) i should have known something was up when i didn't get pictures but i trusted, which is my mistake.
As many of you are in the USA what i may do is ship all the orders i can without soy sauce so those are atleast out. For my other campaigns im looking at ditching packaging apart from a bubble mailer to help speed up fulfillment, i will likely do that for this campaign as well.
I PRAY soy sauce is here sooner than later.
My apologies for the delay in everything and thank you for your patience again
bit of a late june update as i havent had the most news but the pins are finished!
I have photos of all them but soy sauce now (ive asked so hopefully should get one before theyre boxed up)
I've sent the notice out that orders are being locked in 48 hours! So you've got two days to make any changes and then cards are charged.
I'm currently in the middle of fulfillment for other projects, so ill be getting to this one asap!
Thank you all for your patience and support!
Ive uupdated my main profile on here so you can always check where a project is at as well as my business email for contacting! (since backerkit doesnt do dms and comments rarely get me notifications :>)
I've put my order in for the pins! very exciting hehe :>
For those of you that asked to be charged right away ill be doing that on FRIDAY!
For those of you who asked to be charged later this will be when pins are ready to be shipped out to you, obviously therell be updates before then.
In an art related note i did change the freebie pin returning backers will get! After i looked at the bagged fish again i just wasnt quite happy with it? So after having a look around for inspo i stumbled up on the fish inspired/fish shaped wind charms!
So this is the new design! The final pin will be gold plated with glitter in the different goldfish colours!
Thank you all again for your support<3

I’m extremely worried. If I knew where they were from, I would have called for a wellness check months ago. I don’t care about the pins at this point. I just want them to be ok. Has anyone heard any news about their safety?
Project Update: where I've been: tldr very sick
