HEY tumblr friends (old and new-hello!) I have a new pin that is out on my etsy! I’ve also finally updated the shipping so I can ship worldwide (just know that I don’t have any control over shipping prices, and shipping outside of the US can be a bit pricey ;x )
Let me know what you think and stuff! (link to etsy)

even though my Tumblr is super inactive, it can’t hurt to post my Kickstarter here! I’m trying to make 4 Chao enamel pins! Shares help a lot so if you’re still active on here, it’d be rad if you could
I spent a long time trying to figure out how to express what I was feeling during the recent spike in Asian hate crimes. It’s been exhausting and frustrating being reminded of the conditional acceptance of Asian people in western society. Model monitory until something like covid comes along. The more I saw the events of the past year unfold, the more I realize that we are loved for our culture but it doesn’t necessarily apply to our people.
I started to reflect on my own personal experiences with racism, fetishization and growing up with internalized racism.
“All guys should just date a nice Asian girl” “Omg you’re so Asian” “Go back where you came from” “Can you dress up as an asian school girl, I think that’d be really hot” “Having asian media representation isn’t important. I also never saw anyone who looked like me on tv when I was growing up, so it doesn’t matter” - a white cis gender male “I’d offer some to you but it’s not dog meat so you wouldn’t like it” “I only watch Asian porn” “Is your vagina slanted too?” “I love Asian women, they’re so exotic but also obedient” “Can you only speak mandarin to me during sex”
And those are just the verbal micro aggressions I’ve been told. I’m thankful I’ve never been physically assaulted.
From people getting spit on, robbed, stabbed, slashed, harassed, targeting the elderly, and then the shooting of 6 Asian women in Atlanta. I got tired of not being able to do anything. What could I really do for these victims but keep them in my thoughts and spread awareness. After the Atlanta shooting there were multiple gofundmes for the families of the victims and I didn’t feel like I was in a place where I could donate to all of them, enough to make an impact at least. So I spent a long time upset at myself that there was not a whole lot I could do. But then I had the idea that maybe I could create a charity product to raise money. So that’s where I am today. I have designed a pin where 100% of the profit will be set aside to support POC businesses, communities, and help victims of hate crimes. Link to the pin here
This one means a lot to me. Whenever I see White Rabbit candy, I’m instantly reminded of my childhood as it was one of my favourites. I think it’d be hard to find a more iconic Chinese candy. If White Rabbit candy is the good vibes of childhood candy, Haw Flakes are the exact opposite energy did anyone else have those as a kid?
This just in! The Kitsune now comes in pin flavor! He can tag along on all your adventures whether it be on a hike through the woods or a trip to the grocery store. Snatch your very own kitsune pin here while they last :D
Ok, now that my sales pitch is out of the way let’s take a moment to talk about just how much I love how these turned out! This was my first ever enamel pin order and considering the large quantity required to place an order it’s safe to say I was a little nervous. I mean, a sum total of over $350 for one pin design is quite an investment. But after copious amounts of research and reaching out to numerous manufacturers I decided to bite the bullet and go for it. And I’m glad I did! The quality of each and every pin is spectacular. This came as a pleasant surprise to me considering that throughout my research it’s common to receive a batch of “seconds” within an order. These are flawed pins with slight imperfections like little nicks in the metal and color errors. It’s common for the recipient to sell these seconds at a discounted price but, luckily for me, there wasn’t a second in sight! I ordered my pins through Quality Lapel Pins and for those of you who might be curious or ready to place an order yourself I definitely recommend going through them. I’ve already placed another order of 2 more yokai and I can’t wait to receive them and add ‘em to the shop :D
