One more thing I want to add is that if you are unhappy with the timeline and prefer not to wait, please know I am absolutely fine with refunding your pledge at any time! I’m not trying to take anyone’s money with no product so if you would prefer to have your money back instead of tied up in a long term project I absolutely understand! Just let me know by DM and I can take care of it right away.
I’m aware that the timeline is not at all what has been expected, and it is completely okay to ask for a refund if that’s what you want. This will always be true during the production process!
I know I’ve taken a long time and it’s difficult to manage everything at once. I try not to talk about my personal issues in detail because I don’t want to seem like I’m asking for sympathy and it’s extremely embarrassing. But it’s been a difficult few years and I’m really hoping leaving an abusive work environment will enable me to make things again. Whether it’s my job running me into the ground or having to find a way to support my family now that I don’t have a job or my anxiety and burnout stopping me in my tracks, there have been a lot of obstacles over the past few months that I can only ask you to understand. And if you don’t, that’s totally okay. I know that I’ve severely underestimated the amount of time I need to work on this, especially with the large amount of designs, so if you do in fact want a refund, I am happy to provide!
Please rest assured that I would never ever take any money with no intention to deliver. Contact me anytime if a refund is what you prefer! Thank you as always for your understanding! I will post another update with some final art later this week!
Small clarification about Pride Flags/Hearts!

Hi y'all! Popping in to clarify some points that people are having trouble with!
1. The Pride Flags and Hearts are regular enamel pins with posts, just with embedded magnets in the back.
They have two posts like regular pins do with backings. They are called magnetic because they do have magnets embedded in the back, but they still have posts. They can be worn alone or with a character! That means by themselves, they can function as pins.
The magnetic characters do not have posts - they have a flat back with embedded magnets. That means that by themselves, they do not function as pins. However, they are meant to sit on top of the flags/hearts, which means that they can be worn as a pin if combined with a pride flag/heart!
2. The magnetic characters are meant to be combined with the flags and hearts and worn like a regular enamel pin! They are not only magnets!
I've seen some concerns that the magnetic characters are just magnets and are not for pin collectors, but this is not true! They're just meant to be a create-your-own pin (although you can use the magnets alone for your fridge I suppose)! So you can mix-and-match any parts you want - switch up the character/flag/heart however you like. You just put the magnetic character (no posts) on top of the flag/heart (two posts) and then you can pin it anywhere you like - on a board, on a bag, on a jacket, etc.
I hope that explains it a bit better! :) If you have any questions, please comment below! I recommend also reading through the "How the Pins Work" section on the campaign page as it contains the same information! Once I have a physical sample of how this works, I will post a video so people can understand more clearly! Thanks again!
