Guess who’s at BotCon! It’s me, come say hi this weekend!

[thenamesblurrito]

😭😭😭 I wanted the rodimus shirt sooooo bad but the pre-order landed on the one weekend I have to pay my rent so I just didnt have the money. Im so sad but they look so good!! I hope i get another chance

AUGH the worst timing! I’m sorry I couldn’t make it run longer. there will be another chance when I get the order in and have precise numbers for each size, so here’s hoping it’ll work for you then!

FLASH PREORDER COMPLETE!

thank you so much to everyone who ordered!! we didn't quite make it to 50 BUT we did get close, and i'm talking with my manufacturer to see if i can get a lower MOQ for a similar price. so these jerseys will get made!! ✨🥳 once i have my specific numbers and firmer arrival date, i will update the shop again to reflect how many of each design and size i'll have to sell, so those of you who missed it can nab one. i won't have as many as i'd hoped but still enough to choose from!

just some notes for everyone who ordered:

to those of you who added a tip, thank you, you really did a lot to help fund these!

to those of you who bought other things from my shop, i'm planning to just go ahead and ship those to you now and send the jerseys on their own when they arrive. if you don't want me to do this, just lmk and i will hold on to your other items til the jerseys get here and send everything in the same package

to those of you who had trouble paying, i'm sorry! my shop is connected to both PayPal and Stripe, which both take international orders from all kinds of banks, so it should work for just about anybody. Stripe gives me a report on failed payments, and all the failures it recorded were either due to insufficient funds on the card used, or due to the bank flagging and shutting down the transaction for some reason. i have done my best to make sure all is clear on my end, so if you're having trouble with my shop that isn't due to your own card/bank, please give me a heads up!

if there are any questions, address changes, or other issues, feel free to DM me or send a message through Ko-fi with your order details and i will work on it!

24 HOURS TO GO! ONLY ABOUT 20 SALES STILL NEEDED!

also! my buddy got the 5XL samples i sent him and he's test fit them for me to make sure they're actually suitable for plus size folks! i'm p relieved, having inclusive sizing is important to me and i'm glad this manu actually produces anything larger than XL

I'M BITING THE BULLET AND RUNNING A THREE DAY PREORDER!

All I need are 50 sales total to get these first three designs made, and if they go well I may be able to make more characters in the future! Gotta move fast to get these made and shipped within the 3 month low tariff window so this preorder is gonna be quick!

hii i LOVE your jersey designs and i'm going to buy one but i was wondering if (primus forbid) you do not receive 50 orders and i do not get the merch (again knock on wood), will i get my money back? sorry i've never really preordered anything b4 👉👈 ily <3

thank you, good question!

if the goal is not reached, I will evaluate my financial ability to get them produced without the preorders paying for them up front, and if I can’t, yes I absolutely will be refunding everyone, that would be unfair and illegal not to. that is afaik standard for funding campaigns

but I’m at 20 SALES so I’m feeling hopeful! if yall could pass my shop around to any tf fans or honestly any racing fans who might be interested I would appreciate it!

my general rationale for this project under the cut, if you’re curious:

I need 50 orders so I can front the money to get them made and not bankrupt myself, so technically any number of orders helps! 50 is the amount needed to pay for a bulk order in full, minus shipping. the reason im running this for just three days instead of as a full kickstarter campaign for like a month or something as originally planned is bc im trying to take advantage of the 90 day lower tariff window just announced, and if i want to get this produced before the 90 days is over then i need to get them started now. but hey, its a good trial run for an actual campaign with a broader selection of characters later! if I don’t get 50 orders, I technically can pay out of pocket to get them made, it’ll just uhhhhh hurt a lot, and I’m in the middle of multiple big things that make wise financial decisions especially vital. so! at the 40% point rn, it wouldn’t be as financially devastating to still make the jerseys. but I’m still desperately hoping I get 50 orders

[thenamesblurrito]

not sure you actually want an answer to this but! i've been wearing these samples around in humid southern USA heat and it's been doing okay! it's made of the usual breathable jersey fabric, i'm not sure what it's called tbh but the texture seems universal. BUT! anyone who buys these should genuinely do whatever they want with them, i don't care. cut em up and turn em into macrame. have fun.

also it's at 17 out of 50 sales to get these produced! i was so worried i didn't sleep well last night but i'm optimistic now, thank yall!!! keep going!!!

charm order get! AND they might even make it in time for BotCon

but now I am, perhaps unwisely, thinking about doing a preorder speedrun for those jerseys, just for the three designs I already have done. my manu said they can make and deliver a couple hundred shirts in two months to get in under the ninety day tariff agreement, and all it would take is 50 or so sales to pay for it…

currently staring at the us tariff 'truce' with china and wondering if i can squeeze in a merch order. 30% is. not good but MUCH BETTER THAN 150%. can i get charms done in 90 days? probably. can i run the jersey campaign in 90 days? mmmm probably not

I post one non shitpost art and I come back with this

character reference sheet for @cybercybertron! love mechanical wings, they're so cool

isn’t it funny how the brain will latch onto things. im sitting here thinking about how my life has literally, definitively gone down a wildly different path specifically bc i saw that horse girl movie where the horse is an alien car and then the autism kicked in

[thenamesblurrito]

DTIYS!!!

Here’s the background if ya want a better look at it

Please @ me if you do this, I wanna see how it goes ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

job just cut my hours in half!! Q.Q uhhhh anybody want me to draw for them? i love drawing self inserts and OCs and all kinds of self-indulgence! there's also merch like stickers and prints and tshirts in my shop!

little doodle page bit from the disability zine. yeah allspark instahealing may be cool and convenient and all, but consider: alien-sized mobility aids

my piece for the Out Of Spec zine about Transformers and disabilities! the zine itself is sort of in limbo but we've been given leave to post our finished pieces. obviously i had to draw my ADHD king. i've also got this as a print, i need to put it up in my shop...
