I know other adults like to joke about how much pain they're in, but genuinely, please try to get your pain checked out if you're an adult experiencing it, or at least adapt your life in whatever way lessens your pain.

Your pain deserves to be addressed. Please don't "let" it get worse because you've been told that to grow older is to suffer. No, you aren't being needy or selfish or annoying. Ultimately, you are the one who suffers the most from the state of your health, and it's entirely reasonable to want your health to be up to your standards.

If you want my opinion, I think we should give Lone Wolf the benefit of the doubt, yes it does look a little bit cheap in some areas but the game does look pretty fun and both the art and characters are still on point. Alice and Sammy are also returning so that’s a plus! I think it’s best that we stay optimistic for this game and Bendy’s future.

That's fair and I respect your opinion, I think my thing is I'm worried people are too optimistic about Bendy's future games being better than the ones they've already created because the team behind Bendy is very anti-listening to feedback. Which means it's likely these games won't improve unless fans make a bigger push to be more critical of them and show the devs they won't spend their money unless the team can prove they care about this franchise and aren't gonna let the polish drain just because it makes more money.

I criticize Bendy not because I want it to die or be bad, I only do it because I hope one day either 1. A competitor rises up and gives the fans essentially a better version of Bendy that they deserve and they can use my feedback and others to see where it can be improved. or 2. The bendy team listens to my feedback and the general fandom's to make future games better. Plus generally get their act together.

As it stands the trailer is rushed and cheap, which is bad because a trailer for a game should be the most polished part of the affair. I mean this is what is supposed to convince people to buy the game when it comes out! I had the same problems with The Cage and I'm unhappy to see this becoming a pattern. [I mean that's a game I'm even more confident is going to horribly crash and burn cause I honestly don't know why'd they make a midquel to a game which everyone hated the ending of-]

Look. I understand some people feel a sort of loyalty to the Bendy devs, it's hard not to feel like you're in some sort of friendship when it comes to such a small indie team. But at the end of the day you have to remember defending them when they mess up only gives them more reasons to ignore feedback and most of all you don't know Mike or Meatly as people outside of what they Choose to show in their public image. So when the public image they've crafted is one that's bad and leaves people worried about how the games they're making are gonna turn out. Nobody can be blamed but them. And if you really care about them and/or Bendy it's better to boost feedback even if it's negative.

Like sure Sammy and Malice are returning but look at the treatment they got in Dark Revival! Meatly and Mike have never addressed how poorly done the original characters were in that game and I think it's cause far as they're concerned it was perfectly fine and people are complaining about nothing. [That or enough people didn't seem to care for it to matter to them whether that point was valid or not] Despite the fact Sammy was shot down for a gag after finally speaking up [and was in a ton of Dark Revival marketing material] and Malice was nothing more than a rip off of her chapter 3 self with no interesting changes, we never got to hear her thoughts on how the world is doing, on how she feels now hearing her enemy, the ink demon, was supposedly killed, or on Wilson, the keepers, etc. I mean it was a huge waste and with the promise Sammy will be 'restored to his Chapter 2 glory' I want to call this poor writing out now rather than wait for the cage to come out and pretend I never saw it coming.

Criticism is a good thing for Bendy, we should embrace it rather than shunning or discouraging it. I hope most of us can agree on that. Even if I seem harsh, I would rather lean towards that, than risk going too easy with my words and being ignored by the devs.

Hello! I just discovered your blog and I immediately became captivated by your webcomic, but I'm unsure where to read all of it. I know it's on Webtoons, but I can see it hasn't been updated for a while, and you still post about it.

Are your physical novels just prints of the webcomic? Are they a continuation? Is the story complete? Thanks in advance!

Hi there!

Glad you found me and are enjoying my comic!

It's only on webtoons, and the story is not complete yet! We're 2/3 of the way through right now. It's currently on hiatus, and it's scheduled to come back in about 2 months!

I'll explain why it's been so long if you're curious, but also for my followers who might also be wondering about it under the cut. Sorry, it's pretty much just me complaining haha

I took a month off I took 2 months to get the books printed I took a month to prepare my next comic and I took 2 months to write the rest of the series (I knew the character arcs I wanted, but not the time periods or mysteries!!!) I've been working on actual episodes since then

I had to take some time off because of some pretty extreme burnout due to the sheer amount of work it was to draw over 800 pages and write 6 complete stories in a year and a half... I was getting sick almost weekly due to the overwork, it was really really bad honestly. I was having to work 60+ hours every week just to keep up...

The nature of the comic itself is also difficult... Each of the arcs is a complete, self contained story which can be read (ideally) without context, and my arcs need to be about 10-13 episodes each... And since I have an exact number of episodes to work with, it's even harder.

It takes a ton of planning and a ton of refinement, and working week to week with no breaks I was forced to put out second or even first drafts, so I just wasn't happy with the work I was doing... And to do that for the rest of the series? I wouldn't be proud of the work I did.

Plus... To be entirely honest, webtoon has treated me quite badly IN MY OPINION... They deprioritized me before I launched (I had to beg for more promotion, I'm not exaggerating), they outright denied me the opportunity to even ask for a raise, I don't make any money on fast pass and they pay me less than my partner makes working at trader joes. My first editor left me completely hanging, my second editor (who I loved) was fired... And they told me I wouldn't get a third season before my first season even finished. So it was just repeatedly completely demoralizing.

I'm sorry it has taken so long, it'll have been 10 months by the time I come back. But I realized... I won't get promotion either way. I won't get more episodes either way. I won't get more money either way. So to finish everything, to make it feel good, to make it something I'm proud of, I chose to take longer to make it better.

I am fully aware I will lose a significant amount of my readership for this and it might genuinely affect my career moving forward. But it's what I had to do! So I'm sticking to my guns on it, and I'm confident long term it'll be worth it. It never could have been this good if I didn't take this much time.

i kinda hate that my kneejerk reaction to experiencing dysphoria is thinking about my f/os. like yeah I selfship for myself first and foremost but i wish i had a better way of dealing with it than thinking about fictional characters

[gifti3]

pLLLLSSSS I NEED. NAY REQUIRE! all your g thoughtsss like i love them and all their strange bullshit your honour. tbh so under-appreciated as both a character and RO

haha sure! i really like G a lot and spend a lot of time yapping about them (for someone who isnt my main RO surprisingly) AND ITS NOT EVEN MY FAULT theyre just too microscope worthy !! so theres a lot to ramble about even if its me just spewing random thoughts anything i say is just based on what ive seen so far (which doesnt include patreon stuff! one day ill join tho 🫡)

ik a lot of their quirks are from a lack of proper growing up and them being a star at such a young age.... the childish behavior (tho tbf a lot of characters can be immature at times including the mc :P) and i already ranted about this 500 times in random posts….. BUT when they flirt with the mc (i think somewhere in ch 1) and if you bring up Gs marriage in response Gs reaction literally had me side eyeing a little 🤣 like why are u freaking pouting!? who reacts like that!!!! i think that scene is probably one of the main reasons im constantly overthinking anything G does at this point cause it was such a strange interaction to me but it peaked my curiosity about them as a person lol a lot of those early G interactions made me think 'whats up with this person???' but they were also very entertaining so i wanted more

also can i be honest i wanna rib the heck out of G but also defend them… they make mcs life harder but i cant be mad at them considering their situation with viktor and how miserable they seem some days and theyre still enjoyable to be around overall so its a fight everyday to not start babying this character ngl

the way theyre presented as this cool rockstar and then as you get to know them…. to me theyre more just cute and kinda lame lol! its a bit jarring too considering their appearance my mc still thinks theyre cool but me personally i just cant at this point, luckily for them i find person who you thought was cool but is kind of 'pathetic' very appealing in ROs lmao

and the more i learn about them the more im surprised really like even this recent chapter again changed how i saw them more than i expected 😭 from the pov of someone who has engaged with G in mostly platonic and partially flirty way:

-them liking that the mc likes relationships and marriage (if you select that option) surprised me it never really crossed my mind that they would be interested in actual commitment… because of their personality and their marriage i was thinking an official(???) affair with them would start mostly on passion (and then eventually get serious ig) but not anymore! especially when they said they respect the mc and lurk on their profile like OH theyre ACTUALLY interested in the mc

-they were also… kinda shy towards the mc during the pool scene?? comparing some of the early interactions with the mc… theyre starting to shift from straight up cocky to like 'i hope this person likes me' which is very cute ugh

-i think mc flirting with dakota at the pool is the first time ive seen G show jealousy too lmao

-them bringing up that people think theyre an airhead and it hurts them ugh I HATE THAT… i feel bad because i do think their carelessness makes them come off… not very smart 💀 like i genuinely dont know what to think about this im sure my opinion will change over time but rn im like… ahaha i dont think hes a straight up airhead but i still feel guilty regardless

i really really liked that pool scene! it humanizes the heck out of them also them rolling the blunt was so funny to me… G is very peculiar in all their crafts i suppose lol

Oh man. Snap, idk if you saw issue #5 of rogue: the savage land. BUt apparently magneto's powers have been wonky for this entire miniseries because rogue is "a being of pure empathy" and being around her "infects" him. Before, magneto was just a cold-hearted killer who never felt any remorse for his actions, but now that he sees rogue caring about other people, he's "questioning all that he is." She infected him with empathy, so being around her messes up his powers.

I can't. Like... WHAT. I am so glad this is the last issue of this stupid shit. Thank god I don't have to read this anymore

chat is this real say sike right now

I think qbad being on his own taking care of two little guys again after watching every person he thought he could trust (except tina and aypierre) hunt the caricatures of their children to the bloody, bloody end- i think it will make him worse

he’s being reminded of what he lost. what he thinks only he will protect

[kavehayati]

I am actually so sick of my tl on twt being flooded by complaints like be so freaking for real if you hate the game just leave stop playing it I promise it’s okay

i have to say its a strange experience taking classes on branding and marketing while being vehemently anticapitalist and scorning the economic system
