After IHA and DotD are wrapped up, I'm taking a break from hosting paid/physical projects for a while. I do have an idea for a coloring book, but that process would start up, at the earliest, sometime in 2027. So apologies if you were hoping for info on that sort of thing.
Before I fully shift into promo mode for DotD, I wanted to give a little update on In Her Arms. I have not forgotten about her, I promise! These two projects just ended up much closer together than initially planned.
There was no formal post, since it happened on the last day of preorders, but we met our first stretch goal! The die cut stickers were upgraded from matte to holographic finish
Items were ordered on the last week of March [actually, looking at the calendar, it was *almost* the last week: 22nd to 28th] and what you see pictured arrived throughout the first two weeks of April
We are missing one merch item, which is the notepad. They were almost sent into production, but I was contacted by the manufacturer and advised to change the design, as a test print showed that writing wouldn't show up very well on the original. An altered version was submitted and given the green light, but the order was sent to the back of the queue. So, we wait
In the meantime, I have begun packing up and sending out orders + contributor bundles that do not contain notepads, in order to stay ahead of things [also, I heard that USPS would be raising postage rates sometime around the end of the month due to rising fuel costs, so I'm trying to send out what I can before that happens]
Orders were placed with quantities rounded to the nearest ten, which means there are extras. There will be a leftover sale, however, due to how close IHA and DotD ended up being [and to make it easier for myself], I'm just going combine their leftovers into one big sale. Given that DotD's preorders end in May and orders for the books + merch will be placed during the first two weeks of June, I'm estimating the shop will be updated with the extra items sometime between late July to early August [if all goes smoothly]
I believe that is all for now. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment or send an ask and I will do my best to respond promptly.
Preorders have officially opened for Defenders of the Decade! Which means, I finally get to show off the stunning cover drawn by im_resident✨

There were many charities recommended on the interest check form, so, to narrow it down, the contributors took a vote. It was decided that the proceeds of this project will be donated to: Palestinian Children's Relief Fund
A look at the bundle options below the cut↴
In the coming days and weeks, there will be posts showing off sneak peaks - both of the zine pieces themselves and individual merch items. For now, let me tell you a little more about our physical items:
The zine is A5 size. It will be soft cover with gold foil details
The acrylic keychain (single-sided) will be 2.5 inches tall with a silver star clasp
The art prints will be 5x7 inches, as will the sticker sheet (which features the animals of VLD)
The acrylic standee (single-sided) features the paladins out of their armor and in some more comfortable threads. It will be 4 inches tall and about 3.5 inches wide
The enamel pin reimagines the lions of Voltron as East Asian style tigers. It will be 2.5 inches with two posts in the back to make sure it doesn't slide around
The tote bag features several illustrations of space foods inspired by Sal's revamped restaurant in the space mall and classic pizza box designs. The design will be screen printed with red ink on a natural colored cotton tote

Here is my preview for my piece "Loving You on the Forest Floor" for @xochitai-zines's zine In Her Arms: A Sapphic Romantasy Zine. Preorders are currently like, so go check it out if you've got a hankering for WLW romantasy 😉
hewwo, this is my preview for the original sapphic romantasy zine by @xochitai-zines! there's over 100 pages of art, prose, and poetry. we have digital and physical merch bundles as well!
preorders have been open since valentine's, and will remain open until the 14th of march. please consider supporting this zine by clicking here (link to bigcartel store)!
Anyways! The Genshin speedrun series resumes March 1st! Contributors have 2 weeks to create something involving the characters from versions 2.1 to 3.0. It's a fun way to just create something without having to worry about perfection.
Invite to the Discord is here
[And many apologies for this announcement going up last-minute. I've been preoccupied with getting everything sorted for In Her Arms and lost track of time]
