Great news! All the Dungeons & Derpies packages have been picked up and are on their way to you!!!
If all goes well with the post fairies, most of you will receive it before the holidays!
Failed payments:
There were 7 failed payments and 10 unfinished surveys. If you still want your derpies, please complete these before Dec 31st, 2025. Any surveys/failed payments not fixed by then risk losing their pledge and not getting their rewards as the pledge will be considered a donation. I want you to get your shinies though, so please complete it as soon as possible! Lost your survey? You can find it here:
Speaking of shinies and sparklies, I would love for you to check out my Festive Derpy Dragons campaign! I just revealed 5 brand new designs, and we are only $3500 away from unlocking all 5!
Mistletoe Derpy
Ugly sweater, cookies & milk Derpy
Krampus Derpy
Santa Derpy
Reindeer Derpy
Snowman Derpy (Custom commission for this campaign)
All 5 derpies already unlocked
While these won't be shipped before the holidays, all backers will get FREE colouring pages & a digital holiday card they can print.
Holidays not your thing, my next big campaign will be Zodiac Derpy Dragons as part of Pintopia. Designs will be revealed early January! But you can follow it now to be the first to know when it launches. Plus claim your exclusive early-pledge mini pin!
And you are first to know about my 2nd Derpy Dragon Campaign which will be in March: Derpy Dragons Pride
I hope you all have a wonderful Ferstive season!
Yours in art, Therena

If you love my art, and want to see more of it, definitly check out my Patreon. You can follow for free or join one of the paid tiers. If you have never been a Patreon, you can use this link for 1 month FREE to my naughty Muse tier!
Exciting news! Your little loot boxes are getting shipped this week! My little goblins and I have been hard at work packing these boxes for you. And finally, have it all prettied up and ready to be picked up. (Once I process all the shipping stuff with Canada Post...which might take a few days with so many of you.)
Here is a little peek behind the scenes at the disaster of my living room.
half the boxes....
The Dungeon Derpy "system"
My little helper on sticker duty for the sorted and wrapped loot boxes and baggies
The initial reaction to all the pakages needing stickers >.<
She created her own system
All 200 boxes!
Phew....that was a lot...I need bigger boxes
Failed cards/Missing surveys:
There are 11 failed cards and 10 incomplete surveys. When I process the Canada Post orders, I will attempt to charge these cards one more time. So if you want your pretties before Christmas, please update your card. I will attempt one more time in the new year as well before closing the campaign.
Join the holiday tinsel and sparkle on Tuesday, Nov 18th!
There is a "create-your-own" tier where you can order any existing pins in add-ons. But we will also unlock brand new holiday and festive themed derpies! With 5 brand new designs, and more backer inspired designs we will unlock through polls!
Since Canada Post is on strike, I can't guarantee Chrismas deliveries for physical pledges, however, I have plenty of digital loot planned for backers which you can enjoy during the festive season!
Like this Holiday Derpy Dragon printable card and postcard and many colouring pages to unlock as stretch goals:
So join the fun, even just to hang out in the polls and comments! I love seeing you there! Also, only 2 days left to claim your exclusive mini Festive Derpy pin!
Starting with the good news, I am going to start shipping pledges next week for all non-USA backers! Cards will be charged in 2 days!
⚠️⚠️⚠️IMPORTANT Update for US Backers affected by Tariffs:⚠️⚠️⚠️
I have finally figured out how to set up tariffs, and how much it will cost. I have UNLOCKED all USA orders for ONE WEEK (until Friday / Halloween). You can now go in and see how much tariffs will be for your pledges.
I have tried to absorb what I could. ($2 + 10%) of each pledge. So, hopefully, it is not too much for you.
Unfortunately, pins were hit with 35% tariffs 😭😭😭And there is nothing I can do but pay it or not be able to ship to you.
For this reason, I unlocked the surveys so you can adjust your pledges if needed. I can't cancel pledges as those funds were all used to pay for pins. If for some reason you cannot afford the tariffs and need me to hold your order, please email me at [email protected]
If you want to help cover the extra fees yourself, you can add the Dumpster Fire Derpy Sticker to your order now! (Under Sticker section)
But just because the world is on fire, doesn't mean I will stop making Derpies. (Because they still make me smile and I think the world needs some more reasons to smile). Last year backers requested Holiday themed Derpies.
For ONE WEEK ONLY I am running my FESTIVE DERPY DRAGONS campaign, and it launches November 1st!
I am also participating in the Backerkit Holiday Market. And figured, why not make it a DERPY DRAGON SHOPPING SPREE!
Featuring ALL my past campaigns, with special discounted tiers for bundles! Or a create-your-own tier if you just want to stuff your stockings with one or two pins from any of the sets!
I don't know whether there will be new designs for this one. This campaign is more if you were hoping to stuff your stockings with Derpies!
Designs will be revealed on my Partreon, but the theme will be Greek Zodiac. (Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn, etc) You can claim your EXCLUSIVE MINI pin when you reserve your pledge here:
I know the world is tough out there, but hopefully these Derpies make it just a little bit better, even if you just join us in the polls for the conversations!
You can always join my Weirdling tribe on my Patreon. Patrons get to see not only exclusive art/content, but vote on designs before they are presented to campaigns!
Yours in art,
Therena
PS: As a thank you for being a backer, I have a special surprise I will add to everyone's carts in the near future!
Today's update is a bit of a mixed bag of good & bad news.
The good news: now that my "D is for Derpy Dragons" campaign ended, I am finally able to dedicate the time to fulfill this campaign. I have my "Star Awakened" campaign to also fulfill at the same time as everything arrived within days of each other! So fulfillment will take a few weeks to get through everything.
CHARGING CARDS:
I am going to charge cards this Friday when I begin fulfillment. Charging will happen in increments, so if you aren't charged right away, that is why. To begin, I will start with non-US backers, for the reasons I will explain below in the backer-only section. ⚠️ If you are in the USA, please read that section! (You will need to open the update in Backerkit to view it) ⚠️
SHIPPING DELAYS:
Canada Post went on strike the day after I received all of the pins. (Part of why I didn't prioritize fulfillment). But asof this weekend, the strike has moved to a rotational strike, so they are once more accepting packages. Shipping will be delayed, but should still make it to you.
While you wait, check out my next Derpy Dragon campaigns!
Exciting news! The Derpies have officially arrived! Check it out! Please ignore the highly professional photos. I was too (lazy to get off my butt and use my DSLR) excited to share them so I just used my phone.
They look amazing in person! It will take me a couple of weeks to organize and sort, but I will probably charge cards soonish.
Fulfillment will begin later this month and into October.
We funded in 31 minutes! And already unlocked 7/10 pin designs in the first 24 hours! And the polls and discussions are filled with fun and memes.
Featuring both an artbook filled with sarcasm and shenanigans and new pins!
Possible pin designs
Whether you back or just want to come hang out in the comments and polls, I look forward to seeing you there!
PS: we are really close to unlocking the returning backer mini pin!
