This is for the real ones, haha!

For those who know me by my 5-hour-long animatic series for the Midwich Valley Original Character Tournament that wrapped up last year, now is also the time to get your hands on the book!

Digital and physical copies can now be added to your pledges! Both choices also include textless digital wallpapers of the covers! 



Note: If you only have eyes set on the Space Bee books, a hidden digital copy pledge has also been added.

This allows you to get the books and help unlock the Bells/Raju pin! We are SO SO close to getting our hands on Bells, and if we get that last 48-hour boost as well, who knows, maybe we'll get Schnell too! Fingers crossed!

Remember: the acrylic Space Bee and Bells/Raju keychain is another add-on if you can't get enough of the little prison-breaking bee.



Thanks again for all of the support so far, we're almost at the finish line!

Lore and Myth projects are other projects under the same theme and umbrella! If you support 3 projects, you get a free pin from each! And, in case you didn't know, our good friends at Dragon Coop also have their pins and plushies under Lore and Myth!



So if you support them and myself, all you'd need to do is support one more person and get this awesome crest pin AND the Biddy Fanud collab as well:



I hope you learned something today! There are 8 days left to support this project, and we're close to unlocking Bells!

I don't mean to pick favorites, but Bells gets the most info dump and this isn't even the whole thing, oops. This is why this one took a while, I left a couple of things out, but basically Bells is a really tragic character when you think about her life for 5 minutes weh weh.

About the "why is she named Bells" bit because it would've been too long to explain: because Bells uses Lheur to """return spirits back to wherever they come from""" (spoilers for chapter 8?), ghosts tend to only meet Bells when she's around Lheur, who communicates by making ringing sounds. And, because he tends to stay hidden until the final moment, ghosts who stay assume the sounds come from the lil tips of her pigtails. (Also it's just how Schnell calls her and others just assume that's her name, TLDR)

Cosmic Fish is a very "show don't tell", "really sit down and analyze what characters mean over what they are saying" kind of story. It's more of a conversation than a lore dump, so thank you for reading all of these posts and letting me actually TELL the detailed portions and everything that I tend to keep to myself. Once again, I hope you learned something! And remember to check out the backerkit! There are two new stretch goals meaning we're not done with the pin lore yet, so stick around!

The original final stretch goal is here! Bells is the final pin that can be unlocked to complete the original set! Thank you so much, we're doing amazing!!!




Remember that the final two stretch goals for pins have been added! And, if these are unlocked by the time the backerkit ends, folks who ordered the 6-pin set will get these two pins for free as a thank you!

I'm beyond grateful and excited to have these pins made! Stay tuned for the lore post on Bells' design tomorrow! 

Have a good one!

Did you know that if you also support Lumpia With A Vengeance on backerkit, you will not only unlock an exclusive Acantha pin, but a Lumpia stickersheet drawn by yours truly?




The Lumpia films and comics follow the story of Kuya, a Filipino superhero who uses lumpias as his weapons to fight crime. When Patricio and I were having a little cultural exchange, (which Puerto Rican and Filipino culture tend to have striking similarities), I joked about the Puerto Rican version being an Alcapurria. And so the X for the collab is now a lumpia and an alcapurria! The characters George and Jemini are seen holding their own, and Kuya, of course, will always have the titled lumpia. Acantha, being the greedy snackee of my comic, joins in!

The movie's free on Tubi, and if you're interested in supporting this collaboration, you can click below to check out their own pin collection!
