I really wish you had more 'gay' or even mlm designs for the dogs, there's lesbian and sapphic; but the only real gay one is the general pride flag :{
hello friend! I’m not sure where you were looking, I do have designs for both the mlm (pretzel the shepherd puppy) and achillean (bacon the beagle puppy) flags that i’ve posted about!! plushies for both of them will be part of my second kickstarter campaign that’ll be next year. these are just pictures from my manufacturer as we’re still working on the samples!
I know it’s frustrating to not see some flags/identities represented in pride merch as much, but please be kind when voicing your interest for it to merch creators, especially small businesses! I have to sell a pretty large amount of a plushie to start to break even money wise (unfortunately making plushies is incredibly expensive) and some flags had a lot more interest behind them than others. additionally I can only work with so many designs at once - I’m one person designing and shipping all of these out of a basement apartment with not much space. 😅 it breaks my heart that I can’t make a plush for every single identity, but unfortunately I just don’t have the resources. 😭 😭
I know other pride merch creators have said similar things as the same kind of issues come up for almost any type of merch - please know that most of the time there is not any malicious intent behind a creator not having a variant of a design for every single flag!! we want so badly to do as much as we can but we are all limited by how many of a design we can sell some times, as horrible and capitalist as that sounds </3
I love to hear that people are interested, I run all sorts of polls and google forms to try and research what people would like and I’m always happy to hear! just asking that you assume the best of intentions when voicing that interest :)
