✦ Captive Prince Enamel Pin KICKSTARTER | COMING SOON!! ✦
So, I finished reading this book series a few days ago and immediately went looking for some subtle but aesthetic pins to add to my collection - spoiler alert, I couldn’t find any! ✨
SO I decided to create my own.
However, this is a huge project for me and so I need help with backing for it! If you’re interested in supporting it, let me know in the comments then we can launch this KICKSTARTER and make these PINS! ✦ ✨🌛
ANIMALS OF THE SOUTHWEST KICKSTARTER RELAUNCH IS LIVE! :-)
we decided to relaunch with a different organization of the structure of the pins, so people are more likely to be able to get the ones that they like! thank you to everyone who provided feedback on their favorites & such!
PLEDGE NOW TO HELP US UNLOCK EVERY PIN! ONLY 2K TO GO! 👊🏼👊🏼
all profits go towards supporting our 501(c)3 cat rescue here in satx!

Launching Tuesday - Historically Queer, our next enamel pin collection!
We Have Always Been Here.
Ten pins - two pairs, five single pins, and the La Maupin mega pin (she needed extra room for her headdress) - each with multiple unlockable colorways.
We launch Tuesday, 9/12, at 3PM Eastern, noon Pacific. Follow us on Kickstarter to be notified when we launch -- or just to help out! The visibility to Kickstarter from having followers on our campaign helps a lot. :D
Featured in this campaign:
Enheduanna, oldest named author. Incorporating trans themes into writing thousands of years old.
David & Jonathan, king & prince whose love surpassed the love of women.
Sappho, Lesbian poet. She should need no other introduction.
La Maupin, also known as Julie d'Aubigny. The original disaster bisexual. Opera singer, swordswoman. May have burned down a convent.
Publick Universal Friend, American religious figure. Going by gender-neutral pronouns since the year the Declaration of Independence was written.
Anne Lister & Ann Walker, the Gentleman Jack & her wife. Acknowledged as the first same-gender marriage in modern Britain.
Dr. James Barry, British surgeon. A transgender man, Dr. Barry performed the first C-section done by a European in Africa in which both mother & child survived. He is also credited with vastly improving conditions for wounded soldiers in the British military.
Nikola Tesla, Serbian-American genius. Listing Tesla's inventions would take a series of posts. Liked pigeons better than people.
If you don't see your favorite historical figure, don't fret! We've planned multiple sets of Historically Queer figures. We can't use them all up at once. :) Help ensure we can make future sets by helping us create this one!
Frequently Asked Questions under the cut.
Hey, what flag is that on Sappho?
That's the Sapphic flag, created by @tepkunset. NerdyKeppie's owner, Spider, is a butch lesbian who uses that flag for their art.
Hey - what about [historical figure]? How could you forget [historical figure]? This is erasure!
We didn't forget, we promise - this is the first of several installments of this project. After the absolute stress of the last Kickstarter when we had 300+ different SKUs by the end of the project, we decided to take a more focused approach to Historically Queer. We attempted to provide a good cross-section of identities, and will continue to expand in future projects. Spider has a huge folder on his computer full of planned pins and reference images.
But historically...
Yes, we know that it isn't totally proper to use today's terms to discuss people who lived a long time ago. But also, how else do we talk about our community history in a way that's understood, and celebrate our shared queerness, other than to use the words and iconography which are understandable to us now? We celebrate our shared history with the words and understandings most accessible to all of us, and we hope that by providing not just the pins but a few elementary facts about these historical figures, we'll encourage people to read more about them in their original context.
Just like the coelacanth, I'm back and better than ever… the restock kickstarter campaign for my lgbt dinosaur pins is now live!
And what's this? Could it be? Are some new critters joining the crew? 👀
I've had a lot of folks ask when these are coming back, so here's your answer; it's RIGHT NOW! But only if we can get enough support to fund that steep upfront cost
Will you be the one to help resurrect these colorful critters? 🦖
We're 52% funded already! 23 days to go and with every eyeball we can get on these posts we should have no problem at all! If you like them, even if you can't pledge, please consider giving a reblog so more people can see them =) Plus if this run does well it will give me a good incentive to make more mimicry designs in the future!
Remember, waiting for the KS to be fully funded before pledging could hurt the campaign. You will not be charged unless and until the campaign is successfully finished! That means if everyone waits to see if other people will pledge, not enough people may pledge and we may not succeed. Something of a self-fulfilling prophecy, yknow?
Anyway I'm very excited about this campaign and I have full faith it will get funded in time! If you want to support either by sharing the link or pledging, you can head to the campaign page!
