The hurdles of being a pinmaker (a tragic comedy?) (Patreon)

So! I was having a hilarious conversation with my long distanced bestie Linds (VHSOtaku) about many things, as we often do... LMAO,  one of which was me just ranting while showing her screenshots of the unreasonable batshit crazy responses the manufacture I used for January’s pin has been emailing me. (Sammi from GLCraft, DONT EVER USE!) 

For the sake of transparency she encouraged me to make this post because y’all need to understand the type of crazy shit I’ve been going through;

Sooooooo.... Yes. January’s pins has taken for fucking eveeeeer!!

& while I’m sooooo hella grateful that not a single soul of you has ever complained about the delays; * THANK YOU. FOR REALS. YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR PIN AT SOME POINT I SWEAR! *

I still feel the hella massive pressure and feeling of not doing a good job. Even tho, I’m really am doing everything in my power to do so!

... but at this point, I really do agree with Linds that some of y’all might get a huge laugh out of this !! And also, understand that I’m really not lying or doing any of this on purpose. This manu is literally the worst. LOL.

SO! Where do I begin?

The very first photo this manufacturer sent to me wasn’t the problem. The colors looked fine, and the enamel didn’t seem to have any viable problems. I thought, okay... they’re taking their sweet time but it’s coming along? Right? NOPE. The problem started with the screenprint...

LET THE SCREENSHOTS BEGIN. SOoooOOOOoo, 

The manu sent me this;

And that was when  the ‘OH NO’ tiktok song started playing in my head because  I noticed...

Which to their reply was:

At this point I’m annoyed af because, THIS ISNT THE lighting.  It’s clearly the fucking screenprint and I feel like this person thinks I’m an idiot.

I’m NOT.

But they kept insisting that it’s the metal, it’s the light... UGH.

Nooooooo it’s nooooot.

*BREATHES*

At this point we’ve been back and forth of me trying to explain to them like hey! I understand screenprint isn’t always perfect. I really don’t mind a bit of mismatch in the hair or whatever... BUT WHEN HER TEETH are in the cheeks, well... you know? That’s kinda not okay.

Here’s when it starts spiraling because I start to get heated because this person truly wants to send me flawed pins... so I send them... this;

I swear that I’m  usually way more polite than this, but honestly this whole conversation was really taking forever and going no where. (*´Д｀*)

Do you ever feel like a beautiful pin broken? Because I do!

LMAO.

And this my friends is the highlight of this whole entire thing. 

beautiful broken pin. 

After many more backs and fourths, They agreed to fix it.
So let’s see what happens next week.

Again, I’m forever sorry with this crazy 4 month delay. But you know, better to be broken beautiful... than? IDK. BYE. Horrible joke. But for real tho. Please know that the pins are getting made, I’m not stealing anyone’s money, lmao. Seriously! Hopefully I can send y’all beautiful NOT BROKEN pins,
& know that I love y’all like a lot. Thanks for sticking by me through all these months! And making these pins, and rants possible. I wouldn’t have it any other way!!

And seriously tho, I really do like to pretend like I have all my shit together but honestly if this is the type of shit y’all interested in, I can keep posting these artist rants going! 😂😭😅💛

Stay safe, always!!
