Which PiRATs character are you? Hopefully not the one that says you need some mouthwash… Pause the video, screenshot your result, and share in the comments! 🐀🏴‍☠️ And don’t forget our Kickstarter campaign is still moving full steam ahead: www.kickstarter.com/projects/pir...

PiRATs? In my copy of Tomodachi Life?? It’s more likely than you think. 🐀🏴‍☠️

Happy #fanartfriday!! We’re celebrating a very successful Kickstarter week with this wonderful fan art of Izzy by @toonrandy.bsky.social ! Have some PiRATs fan art and want it featured? Tag or DM us! 🐀🏴‍☠️

You all work FAST! We’re already only $400 away from hitting our first stretch goal! Let’s keep pushing along, and get this credits sequence FUNDED! 🐀🏴‍☠️💖 www.kickstarter.com/projects/pir...

We’re super excited to share our first two stretch goals for PiRATs! If we hit $12.5K, we can have an animated sequence and an original song play over our credits! And at $13.5K, we can get some original artwork on our art book and soundtrack covers! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pir...

Here’s something a little different than I normally post. If you watched the season finale of The Pitt tonight, if you pause at 30:30 you’ll see a VERY blurry person in a gurney… it’s ME!!

Thank you all so much for supporting the PiRATs Kickstarter! We're working on some fun stretch goals, and we'll be revealing the first one VERY SOON! STAY TUNED, MATEYS!! 🐀🏴‍☠️

The Mario Galaxy Movie is the most disappointing thing since my son

Got my outfit ready to see Mario Galaxy tonight

I had fun drawing Izzy T. Rat, who is so cool and inspirational!!! And so is @acunamattata.bsky.social and his project PiRATs! (linktr.ee/emphasisonth...) Keep your eyes on that there link, mateys.

The PiRATs are looking a bit different… that’s right, due to intense marketing research, we’ve made the difficult decision to remove pirates from the equation, and just focus on RATS. Starting today, we’ll be posting nothing but rat content, so keep an eye on our page!

Happy #transdayofvisibility🏳️‍⚧️ to our favorite nonbinary piRAT, Squeaky Jean!! 💛💜🤍🖤 Just don’t stare at them too long… you know how squeaky they get when they’re flustered. 🐭

I had a great weekend at Wondercon telling people about my PiRATs! We had so many postcards to hand out, and we ended up handing out EVERY SINGLE ONE!! So many people came up to ask about my rats! Of course we had to celebrate with some Dole Whips (Wensleydale for scale)

I’m at Wondercon today!! Find me and ask about my rats for a free PiRATs postcard!! 🐀🏴‍☠️

Shiver me whiskers!! Our entire arr-mazing voice cast for “PiRATs! (Emphasis on the Rat)” has been revealed! 🐀🏴‍☠️ We couldn’t have asked for a better crew of talent to bring our sea rats and reptiles to life. Our Kickstarter launches April 14th, we hope you’re ready to set sail with us!!

Wow! Izzy somehow made it all the way to Tomodachi Life!! (I can’t figure out this advanced Mii maker they have now, so this is the best I can do lol)

Nintendo and Illumination seem weirdly determined to speedrun spoiling their own movie a week before it comes out

The PiRATs will be at Wondercon 2026!! This Saturday and Sunday, keep an eye out for a pirate (that looks suspiciously like me) holding this lovely sign. If you ask him about those rats, you’ll receive an exclusive PiRATs postcard!! See you in Anaheim!
