Pin Reveal: Polyam, Bi, & LGBTQ Whale Nebula Orca
🕑 Added 2023-08-20 22:31:13 +0000 UTCLast month's Kickstarter stretch goal polls had "whale nebula" in a close second to "unicorn nebula," but we ran out of time to make 2 stretch goals. So we decided to make that colored metal, epoxy-filled soft enamel pin through our pin club! Based on your votes, we chose the Orca as our whale for the whale nebula.
✦ The Three for this month:
- The Gay Breakfast is LGBTQ Whale Nebula
- The Special is the Bi Whale Nebula.
- The Seasonal is the Polyam Whale Nebula.
✦ To get multiple pins:
The Combos get you 2 pins:
- Combo A (Rainbow & Common), so this month LGBT and Bi
- Combo B (Rainbow & Uncommon), so this month LGBT and Polyam
- Combo C (Common & Uncommon), so this month Bi and Polyam
The Prix Fixe gets you all 3 pins, and
The worldwide Buffet comes with all three plus a mystery pin— 4 pins total! It is the only international tier.
The Coupon Club is a great way to take a break and still access 20% off our store, plus our upcoming design polls. It also helps to keep us at a membership level where we can continue to offer 3 flags a month.
All pledge changes made before August 31st at 11:59PM Pacific will apply to these pins, and will not be charged until Sept 1st!
Please help us spread the word once we post on Twitter later.
✦ Mailing Schedule:
We mail quarterly. This has helped us keep our tier prices low despite inflation. These "September" Whale pins will mail around the holidays, with the rest of the Fall Quarter, along with the upcoming "October" and "November" pins.
✦ Current Mailing Status:
- Spring Quarter finished mailing a few weeks ago! Any mailing errors are getting addressed this week! Thank you!
- Hooty preorders are mailed.
- Summer Quarter is in production--we hope to mail it soon, in early Fall. This quarter includes the the "June" Panthers, the "July" Phoenixes, and the "August" Tanuki pins, which will mail all together.
- Store orders from the last month were made in "vacation mode" due to our kickstarter. We meant to mail them all last week but we caught covid at Flamecon! "Vacation Mode" for incoming orders is extended to Aug 30th while we catch up on existing orders placed during the kickstarter. Thank you!
If we make any errors on your order(s), please email us at support@GayBreakfast.GAY—and we will work to resolve any fulfillment errors on our part during our next mailing. Please include in the title “Order” for store orders or “Patreon” for pin club so we can easily search and find your email. We check our email weekly so please wait one week before sending a follow up.
Thank you so much for your support!

I too am joining just for the Orca pin! #sinktherich
SpicedPie
Awwwwww 🥹 Thank you so much! I hope we can keep making pins you like.

Please know that I joined the pin club just for that rainbow whale pin. Rainbow whales are popular in my local LGBTQ+ community and I had to snag it for myself. Looking forward to collecting more wonderful pins as well!

I take it back! I'd much rather you have a day job than I have a list. Wishing for a good outcome for you!
SpicedPie
I SHOULD do that. If I do indeed lose my dayjob, I may be able to make time for housekeeping things like that. Thank you!
SpicedPie
We thought of you the whole way through.
Brooke K
Gotta get dat whale.
Le'letha
Is there any list or inventory of which animals you've done as pins in this series (pin-of-the-month, not nebula/constellation)? I can only scroll back so far in Patreon and I'm curious.
SpicedPie
Thank you so much! It was fun!
SpicedPie
Thank you! Gosh they are difficult though. I'm ready to go a little simpler soon hahaaha
SpicedPie
It's been a faster recovery than expected, thank you! Also yes, the orca seemed a great vehicle for hearts. I'm glad you like our design choices here!
Melanie J Schnieders
Fabulous pin design!! Love it!!
Samantha Cahill
Eeeeeee!! I love this one!! Y’all have been killing it with the nebula/constellation pins! 😍😍
Le'letha
These are gorgeous! Love the heart element in the dorsal fin shape, especially for the Polyam design. (Wow, that yellow-gold sure pops!) Sorry to hear about the COVID cases. Hope they're mild and you're feeling lots better soon.
SpicedPie
Thank you! Maybe someday!
Mistress Mercury
these are so adorable and i can't wait to get them! I hope y'all will consider doing a queerplatonic one someday, too ^_^
SpicedPie
Exactly. Any changes made between now and Aug 31 will apply to these pins. If you want to go back to you usual tier for the following month, just change it anytime in September, before October. Thank you Ro!
Rochelle Mantanona
Ok. As long as I can go PrixeFix before Sept , I’ll get all 3, then before Oct back to the $15 US only y’all have. Right?
SpicedPie
The Bi is the common, aka the "Special." The Polyam is the "uncommon" aka the "Seasonal." Thank you!
Wasabi Mullen
A little confused the bi whale would be the common variant and the pan is the seasonal correct? Just making sure i have the right pin combo
