Btw just want to be clear that Time and Time Again is set to, and will if I don't pause, conclude in May 2025!

Webtoon didn't want to renew or give me any extra episodes so I'm trying to work with what I have. I'm sorry it's ending sooner than I'd like, it's been difficult to come to terms with and challenging to condense my plans.

You deserve a solid conclusion, and I've spent months writing to try and reach that. If there's anything you'd really like to see before it ends, do let me know in case I can (and want to) fit it in.

I'd rather not work with them again, and I hope I won't have to! But coming off of years being overworked and underpaid does not make that easy, to say the least...

I'm doing my best, and I hope you like what I have coming up.

#years of being overworked. underpaid. and literally manipulated and gaslit lmfao #it does not feel good to beg to be treated equally. and then told to be satisfied with less than that #it has been repeatedly demoralizing and insulting #and im not doing it again #i would rather nanny again (most exhausting job ive ever had) than work with them again #but. i would rather not!#I'd rather continue to make comics #but to do it full time i would need like 500 patrons on the $5 tier minimum...#which is SO MANY PEOPLE and incomprehensible to me #ive already proven to myself i can live on 25k a year but obviously its tight (i live in socal)#this. is not what this post is about #it's so hard for me not to complain about them #i feel bad for my current patrons i only share stuff on discord as of right now #well i do the merch packages but like #it's mostly just my discord #just dont have the time or energy to manage my patreon #cause idk if yall know but patreons site is TERRIBLE from the creator side???#it takes like 5 minutes to upload a single post it's ridiculous #so i cant manage it rn. I've thought about hiring someone to help me with it but i cant afford any help #anyways ultimately this is informing people its gonna end #and is turning into a vent around all of the stress surrounding that #like i literally had to take a couple months to just be sad its gonna end and come to terms with that #its hard! it's hard feeling so tossed aside and having your stories controlled even in part by someone else #anyways yeah #i havent finished writing the last arc yet #so theres space for me to fit stuff if theres something people really want #so id like to get in what i could if i can!#text post #sorry i always turn any thoughts about comics into vents about webtoon #theyre so ass man..... it's fine. im gone in may...
