Xenocat Artifacts (18+) 🔜Megaplex/Denfur

This was a fun one!

-not unlike that of an oil slick or a beetles wing. Small pebbled crocodilian type scales hang on the edges of her body, illuminating subtly when she shifts beneath the light. She is cool to the touch, and has the fragrance of light petrichor to her skin

A whisper in the dark with curious eyes~

The internal of the wardrobe serves as a makeshift and consistent doorway to retreat within herself so she can pursue her cosmic journeys or rest away from corporeal eyes.

The scales on her body were physical manifestations of the tainted nature of the warping dark, with glimmering iridescence-

If you were to go to the captains quarters of the ship, you would find it in pristine condition. The bed always made and most things untouched outside of a hot cup of tea or small items she has been musing over. In the corner? A larger wardrobe with a deep nook big enough to step inside.

This brought her to her current team, a scientific exploration vessel. While it’s traversing differently than she had previously explored, the diplomatic and artistic journey allowed her to connect and unity many species together, and spread those technologies far and wide.

She stumbled upon various worlds as she had used her portals to peek into various timelines and societies, and found the concept of people and other alien species fascinating. Eventually, she spearheaded her own effort to find companionship, and to learn and catalog her adventures

Due to this affinity with the dark world, she’s sensitive to light. The more there is, the less she’s able to do with her perks, essentially locking her into a human like ability set or behavior. Her age is unknown, and she has chosen this form out of comfort and curiosity, since it matched her best

The dimension is timeless, and fairly empty, and is a physical manifestation of the entity Erebos’s self, just in the form of a location between worlds. In this place, the rules and abilities are much more in full effect, whereas when in normal realms, she’s more limited to just minor abilities.

Oh man, where do I start!

Commander of the Phantasm MK3, Erebos comes from a somewhat uncertain origin. The nickname Shadowcat isn’t just for looks, if there is a shadow dark or large enough, Erebos had the ability to use it as almost a portal or a door to go back into her pocket dimension.

In short, this month is just killing me and pride month took a lot out of me and after this to do list drops down I should be back to a more normal schedule and able to get back to normal.

I appreciate you, thank you!

I’ve been pushing to get more merch and goodies released, such as our Nanobits return (tiny dongs!), our NabberGnat stickers, more crew stickers, a tshirt design on the way, and more character art. These are exciting!

Thank you for taking some time to read this update and for being patient with me.

We do not have the capacity to do next day shipping as of this time.

Just enter the code “FREESHIPPING” during checkout if you’re buying in the US and your total is over $50usd.

Our DM’s are also super overloaded with bots and spam, please send us an email if you have order related questions!

In stock inventory may take several days to ship, since inventory is shipped out in batches currently once a week approximately. I will do my best to try and get these out faster.

I offer free shipping for all domestic orders $50+, so we tend to eat the cost of shipping for many of our orders.

What you can expect for August:

No further drops are happening for August, I gotta get everything I can get for convention stock currently.

New drops will happen shortly after our return from Megaplex and Denfur

Customs are currently closed, but we will resume taking them once we are back

But! Once this month is over, resources should open back up and I should have more help again since our other team members are back in town and more available to come in to help with additional tasks to make things easier on all of us.

I’m pouring over 400+ toys this month while managing drops, packaging, shipping, scheduling, flights, maintenance, con planning, molds, it’s just a lot for one person at this time, and while it’s able to be done for a while, circumstances have just made this quite the challenge.

And I’m tired.

Our shipping time is something I feel pretty bad about. I apologize profusely for any delays that have come up along the way

I don’t want to throw the word “burnout” out here, but in reality it’s the truth and I’m a quite a bit tired and trying to handle things the best I’m able to as of this time

-and some fairly nasty heat this summer. Until super recently my home itself was 84+ degrees even with fans running and opening the windows at night. Thankfully, it’s cooler now at home so I can get back to finishing master copies for new molds.

Unfortunately, usps pick ups can’t be reliably scheduled at the office either. Which hella sucks. We also had an unfortunate issue with weather lately, having some pretty insane hail storms, windows in our office springing a leak due to a roofing issue that we had to manage in an emergency state-

We’ve had to result to batch shipping dates, and not every day shipping, especially since our office is not in our home, and across town.

Our office also does not have a dedicated mail carrier, meaning we have to take every package that ships to the post office ourselves.

I also have been trying to keep stock coming online and was able to list about 80 new toys this last drop cycle and make them something special. I really loved their results!

After August, my to-do list should be far less exhaustive and I can start to get back to regular drops and quicker shipping.

We also had some large efforts put towards this last months pride event, that we donated 100% of the proceeds from the auctioned toys to charity. This was an amazing opportunity, and also took quite a bit of time to manage especially after some extenuating circumstances that needed my attention.

We are doing both Denfur and Megaplex at the end of this month, which requires me especially now to have to put a large focus on making 400+ toys for the events while handling routine shop duties such as shipping, packaging, supply ordering, pouring and all that.

While I’ve been able to manage quite a lot, things have been going a slower due to some health stuff, helping plan to go to my grandmothers wedding, and doing two conventions of prep work as more or less a single individual. While these aren’t excuses, it’s a little bit of what’s behind the scenes

Update time!

As some may have seen, we’ve been turning our gears a little bit slower lately. Our shipping times have taken a little longer and I am trying to balance a lot. While we normally have a team of 2+, for the last few months it has mostly been me, Ere trying to batten down the hatches.

Back at it and in the shop today! Pouring one custom and then on to shipping out all existing orders

Thank you so much!

Oh no 😟 this one was a nasty one, I’m so sorry!

Glad you were able to stay safe hopefully??

Apparently there’s a lot of broken windshields to the south of town
