    Hi! I just wanted to ask if you’ll be selling more of the science team sticker sheets at some point? I was only introduced to hlvrai very recently, so I never got a chance to nab any that were selling before. I saw your shop was reopened and I’m very excited to grab some charms, but I’d also love to get my hands on those little sticker guys at some point in the future if possible!

    (Also I know you’ve said before that you’re probably not going to bring back the old frenrey charm, but that’s also something that I’d be stoked to get if you ever decided to make it again)

  • Ah, gosh, thought I answered this! I’ll bring them back eventually! Just not any time soon, I think… the process to get those made and then sent here is lengthier than my other stickers 😭 but they haven’t been discontinued or anything! They will be back!

    As for the original frenrey charm… there really is just not a huge chance of this happening, I think 😭 Im sorry! Id only consider it if there was high demand, and I just cant justify it right now (especially considering I don’t draw either of them like that anymore…)

    i cant stop going back to the sketchy version of your partners homumiko thing and im just wondering if that second person in mirror is supposed to be ayame since its definitely not mikotoba? love yr work!! have a good day!

  • omg. thank you! and yes! i didn’t think anybody was going to bring it up :D yeah, i was originally going to put ayame in there. i decided against it because it didn’t fit the “partnership” theme. twas just my delusions grabbing hold…

    the more i thought about it, the less the original idea made sense, anyway. the whole concept of mirrors has been kinda making rounds in my head as something i associate more with mikotoba, now… so it just wasnt entirely accurate… the mirror is mikotoba’s life before and after sholmes… like. the parallels between what he goes through with ayame and then lady baskerville, the security he felt in having a Person and then having no choice but to lose that person somehow, the children he had to leave behind… i dont think mikotoba sees ayame in sholmes at all, they will always be incredibly different people he fell in love with at different times. LOL does any of this make sense. sorry.

    i will say that that particular doodle DID spawn an idea for a fic im never going to finish but ill put a blurb under the read more bc im embarrassed. smth smth. sholmes and insecurities. erm. yeah so it makes more sense for that kind of thing, i think. but it was not on theme. so. theres that!

    Keep reading

    i went out with my friends a couple nights ago w/ the hlvrai disc charm on my belt and the charm broke off and tbh i would be less upset if i lost a child i was crushed

  • NOOOOO NO IM SO SORRY THATS SO SAD :( i lost a charm in an airport once just like this and it was heart shattering so i cant blame you… i still have some leftover so if you were to ever want to buy a replacement in the future, let me know and I can hold onto one for you!

    hey hey hey! will there be another time to buy the phone charm? I am so upset I didn’t know about them until after the preorders were finished😓

  • Yeah! I’ll have some overstock available after pre-orders come in :)

  • trinketbug:

    I’ve had the science team stickers you made on my laptop for almost a year now iirc and the adhesive is beginning to wear off so I keep putting the little guys in my phone case as they fall off of my laptop and I love seeing them in there it makes me sooo happy (: I just preordered the phone keychain so I can carry them w me without worrying that they’ll get lost or wrinkled… I’m unbelievably excited to see and hold the keychain once it’s done and Here!!!!

  • :’))) You have no idea how insanely happy this makes me, thank you so much !!!!!! i love collecting little trinkets like that and it makes me so happy to know people out there are treasuring my little creations,,, gosh.

    do you have an estimate of when preorders will arrive? like 2 or 3 months from now or so?

  • It should say so in the item descriptions, but the production period for my charms is usually estimated to be around 1.5 to 2 months after the pre-order period! (unless it’s an elaborate charm. and this is just an estimate.) so they get to me at around month three.

    i try to keep people up to date anyway, though! so if anybody ever wants to know, they can just ask.
