So apparently, patreon does NOT allow monthly merch rewards. You have to be subscribed to a merch tier for three months, and then you get the one and only one merch. THEN, if you want a second merch, you have to unsub and then resub and wait another three months to get said merch. I am not happy about that, at all.
So I ended up putting all my current designs up on my red bubble, and instead my patreon members will get un-watermarked clean art that they can print out as they please. I will keep making more designs and more bug poem things so there's that!
Right now I don't have the means to print out my own prints/stickers and mail them all out, so apologies X<

I think I'm a way, it makes sense. Looking at the sort of merch patreon offers, most of it are things one really only want to send out once. Mugs, hoodie, posters, shirts, and such make a lot of sense as a "one and done" type of merch item. The smaller things like mini prints and stickers I see, though, as having a use case for sending out multiple times. So, it's a shame patreon doesn't offer any repeatable merch option for those items. And it's a shame the 3 month thing is baked into the system, not something that can changed as well. So, I think they need to give more flexibility with the merch, to at least give the creator more options. Maybe if they do a version 2 of the system, they'll offer that, who knows.

OP
What didn't help was that i specifically emailed patreon and asked them how to do a monthly sticker/print and i was told to just change the image each month and it'll be fine. Then when it doesn't get sent out, i email again only to be told that you can't actually do that. So I did my research before hand and was given outright wrong advice so I'm not happy about that >(
