Hi guys! Sorry for the delayed post but I actually made it!! I drew 3 episodes this week for Play Pretend so I can actually relax on my vacation! 😭😭😭I've scheduled the next two episodes (the last parts of Day 20) for the next two weeks and I hope everything updates okay-ishly, because on my vacation I prolly won't be able to fix it from afar (is afar a word? I've never used it but heard it bing said. Written down it looks kinda wrong. Wait- lemme do a quick research... Yep, okay. Afar is a word 😀).And another thing - I've asked you in my last post for advice concerning my balance between catering my work to the general public or writing the way I want (aka catering it towards a smaller target audience). AAAAAAND after comments (from you) and lots of thinking (from myself) I've decided to follow a more "I'm the artist, I'll write what the fuck I want" approach. Which means I'll put less emphasis on making my work "comic platform friendly" and focus more on making it for my patreons (aka you). Especially with the upcoming nsfw scenes in both of my comics as well as talk about serious topics I already felt unwell thinking about how I'd have to edit and censor that stuff for other platforms. Just for it to be taken down again anyway. All that stress really is unnecessary when I can just post HERE the way I want. Here I can make all the adult jokes, talk about all the serious stuff (that I'll still try to include on other platforms because I think it's important especially for younger teens to know), and draw just the way I want. I've never lost joy in my work but I was drifting in that direction. And I'd rather make pay cuts than losing joy in my passion! Thanks for reminding me of that! ❤Also big shoutout to all the encouraging and fleshed-out comments and dms (I still have to answer to some of them and damn - some of you should become writers!) It really meant a lot to me!Blaze~

As you should 😤 I personally love the way you write these characters and their dynamics. Can’t have a good story without character flaws and development

Coyote Fox

Hell yea artists do what they want Also LOVE SUPPORTIVE STELLA??

Arakhor Vorac

I absolutely support the way you want to write your comics, Blaze. After all, I'm right here. 😀 And full marks for Stella for being so supportive! 🥰

1) I LOVE that you've decided how you wanna do this and that you want to do it for you and for us. If it's the way that makes you happiest and drives less stress from something you should love, it's better for everyone in the end. You can feel the love in the art that way. 2) I love how her opinion cole and Max's relationship pivoted from "they're terrible for each other" to "you two already love each other and this may drive him away"

RedWulf40

Aww I love Max so much and can definitely sympathize with wanting to be with someone so bad you overthink everything and are so worried about not messing it up and not being enough. I absolutely adore this comic, you do a fantastic job and I hope you enjoy your vacation 💙

ugh thank god everything is okay I was so scared to open it at first 😭😭

That's the spirit! These comics platforms are getting more and more heavy with the censorship. As someone older, ig I can kinda understand concerns about nudity and appropriateness of content since it's pretty much impossible for them to completely block minors from accessing a public platform, but that argument kinda loses weight when you notice that they let their "Originals" authors seemingly get away with things they would never let slide with the indie artists (I've seen WT Orginals with exposed butts, excessive gore, nipples...It's not that I have a problem with any of that stuff, but tell me why Original authors can include all that, but a Canvas author gets dinged bc they forgot to put shorts on their characters in the shower, even though their privates aren't exposed, or it's not even a sexual situation?) ...Sorry for the short tangent 😅 ig I'm just just trying to say I get it in my own ND way

I’m a fashion designer and in school if you made a mistake or did something the instructors advised against we’d call it “designers choice” and move on lol😅 not that you’ve made a “mistake” but hell yeah WRITERS CHOICE in your case write whatever tf you want💖💖 have a great holiday!

molly!

This is fr gonna make me cry. Stella bbg 🥹🥹💕 Also I am so proud of you for doing what your gut says! Artists deserve support and you SHOULD do whatever you want for your story!!

♡ShutUp☆I'mReadingBL♡

Now for a comment on the actual episode: Stella makes a valid point, and Cole himself has already stated that the "performative" and hyper-scheduled nature of the project was making things feel too clinical and forced. There's a reason it's called "falling" in love; it's not something you can control

STELLA PLZ LOCK HIM IN I NEED THEM TO BE HAPPY

Neko_Knight

Awesome chapter and proud of you for doing what YOU want, Blaze ♥️ Looking forward to see what you make ♥️

Not my full legal name

Once she had the context of being aware of the primary stressor she got it

FlamaOscura

Which, gods fucking bless! Because, yes, they are not great together. But they also have to work through whatever is happening right now because one of them works solely on a schedule and the other one goes on vibes and unless they work that out BETWEEN THEMSELVES it won't change.

spritzyshark

I love how she can tell they have feelings for eachother without the project, and wants max to act on them like normal people (we all know he wont because max is in fact not a “normal” person)

spritzyshark

i relate to max more and more each episode sigh

I really love how supportive Stella is in what Max wants to do, but sometimes I believe she can be a bit much and I absolutely LOVE that fact. She isn’t perfect, but she just cares so much. It’s perfect writing. No words. 👏❤️
