ENGLISH: As always: Just add one extra day to any of my update announcements, and you’ll be right. 🙈 Why am I so bad at estimating work time?!

This time, it was again the lighting and rain effects – both took a lot longer than expected. TuT✨ But now they’re here: 5 brand new pages! Hurray!

🗨️ About the content:

This was a dialogue I really didn’t want to break up into tiny updates. I think it’s important to be able to read it in one piece, without interruptions.

And honestly… I struggled a lot with it.You all know how things are in the world right now – topics like this are uncomfortable, and many would rather not see them at all.But here’s the thing: You can’t create honest stories or portray a character authentically if you smooth out the edges, try to make it “advertiser-friendly” – or worse: child-friendly. 🥲Censoring or softening a perpetrator’s words doesn’t change the reality. So I decided to let Davido speak exactly the way he would, if he were real. Not to shock you – but because I believe we shouldn’t water down difficult conversations.

🛑 For those of you currently struggling: there’s a trigger warning for this chapter. But don’t worry: I will never sensationalize or visually depict this content. That’s all I want to say about it.

Now I’m just really curious what you’ll think of this conversation. 💬 Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments – let’s talk about it.

Sending hugs –Thank you for being here.

Your MAUS

Deutsch: Wie immer: Rechnet einfach einen Tag extra, dann wisst ihr, wann die Updates wirklich kommen. 🙈

Warum bin ich bloß so schlecht darin, meinen Arbeitsaufwand realistisch einzuschätzen?Diesmal waren’s mal wieder die Lichtverhältnisse und der Regen – beides hat so viel Zeit gefressen. TuT

Aber dafür gibt's wieder 5 Seiten! Hurray!

🗨️ Zum Inhalt:

Diesen Dialog wollte ich möglichst nicht zerpflücken. Ich glaube, es ist wichtig, dass man ihn möglichst zusammenhängend lesen kann – nicht häppchenweise in kleinen Updates.

Und… puh. Ich hab ehrlich gesagt ziemlich mit diesem Part gehadert.Ihr wisst ja, wie die Welt gerade aussieht – solche Themen sind unbequem, und viele möchten sie am liebsten gar nicht sehen. Aber: Ich glaube nicht, dass man echte Aufklärung betreiben oder einen Charakter authentisch darstellen kann, wenn man die Ecken abrundet, alles „werbefreundlich“ verpackt – oder schlimmer noch: kinderfreundlich macht. 🥲

Etwas wegzupiepen oder dem Täter „angenehmere“ Worte in den Mund zu legen, ändert nichts an der Realität. Deshalb habe ich mich bewusst entschieden, Davido so direkt sprechen zu lassen, wie er es tun würde, wenn er wirklich existieren würde. Nicht um zu schockieren – sondern weil ich finde, dass man Themen wie dieses nicht weichzeichnen darf.

🛑 Für alle, die gerade mit ähnlichen Themen struggeln, gibt es natürlich eine Triggerwarnung. But don't worry: Ich werde solche Inhalte niemals sensationalisieren oder grafisch darstellen.

⸻

Ich sag gar nicht mehr viel dazu, sondern bin jetzt einfach gespannt auf euren Eindruck von diesem Gespräch.💬 Lasst uns gerne in den Kommentaren diskutieren! Ich freu mich über eure Gedanken.

Fühlt euch umarmt –Danke, dass ihr da seid.

Ugh, he’s SO GROSS. I can’t WAIT for Derek to put him in his place 🔥🔥

Samantha

First of all, let’s kill him!!!!! And second it’s so disgusting 🤮 🤮🤮 but written in a way that it kind of sheds light on how fucked up it is. As a survivor myself, I can see how honest the writing is and also how it doesn’t sensationalize it but makes it real and raw too without dumbing it down. Also the trigger warning was so helpful cause I knew what I was walking into. This must have been so hard to write, so thank you for doing that ❤️

Rainbro

Pls… just end him 😭

Jamie Giessen

I think it came out really well. That being said it is a difficult topic and uncomfortable, just like it should be. Hope that makes sense. You did wonderful as always 💗

A certain quote by Roy Mustang coming to mind for Derek's mental state rn "every word you speak is just fuel for your funeral pyre"

Davido makes my skin crawl. Just a constant ick when he’s in frame. Or rather when part of his face is shown. He rarely gets a full face reveal which I find adds to the sense of his duplicity. No one in his family except Gogo can see and admit who he is. Ugh so vile. I can only think of two possible physical doors Gogo might open- if we believe that the doors aren’t metaphorical- can’t trust that fucker to tell the truth! Gogos own front door where Davidos family is hiding out or the door to the elite hideout. Not sure if Derek understands the situation at Gogos house so maybe it’s the second one. I’m interested in what everyone else thinks. Super pretty panels tho- which also throws me off. Pretty but gross.

This comic is so cathartic in how it takes this topic. I've had a similar experience to Gogo and struggle a lot with my own relationship to sex and my body (and the guilt over my attraction to other people). But i hate how much people try to coddle the topic, how taboo they make it hard to talk about. Rarely people like actually talk about this stuff in this way. Unlike Gojo i won't get a chance to bring my abuser down but i can just live that moment through him when the time comes. I look forward to it.

Glad you took your time on these pages. I truly can't wait to see how Derek responds because he's the first person we've seen that's never been subjected to Davido's manipulative tricks before. And as a dom who knows how to healthily degrade people, he's primed to see all of the red flags, and that's not even covering the predator-related bullshit

IAmALeaf

Gross gross gross gross gross gross (but I love how you're approaching it)

Emewyn

It's gotta be unpleasant writing for this guy. But I appreciate you doing it authentically, without censoring. I think Davido might have revealed himself to Derek here, since Derek very much knows what happened to Gogo. I wonder if he's going to get angry and give him what he deserves?

Fox

Ewww, Davido deserves to endure all the pain he's inflicted on others tenfold, death is too good for him.

ShadesofStyx

Sometimes I wish I could rip a fictional character's head off, and Davido is one of them. (That means you've obviously done an excellent job portraying him)

I’m currently working with research on rape and other forms of sexualized violence, and one of the thing we keep running into is how people only understand sexualized violence as one thing - and I believe one very important step towards preventing it is to actually portray violence in all its forms, not just the ones we expect and are comfortable with. People need to learn what violence looks like. Full disclosure, I’m specifically not working with paedophilia currently because it is considered a different crime to other forms of sexualized violence And rightfully so! But I would imagine many of the same myth-making processes are present. Information is key to prevention.

DoWatermelonsCry

What makes this even worse is that D is not wearing any socks, as i have previously proven, AND is in the rain. A trully disturbing episode :P

ax

I just feel bad for Derek because he was absolutely not expecting to meet such a terrible creepy person and have a terrible creepy conversation… he’s probably like so caught off guard on where the conversation is going 😭 But yes I agree with all the others that the dialogue is great. I know you have had to deal with a lot of censorship from institutions/platforms like webtoon Patreon and also some readers or internetters - so you are super careful (also of course bc the subject matter deserves a lot of intention and care) but also- this is obviously an adult piece that deals with heavy topics that are also very real experiences for a lot of people- so obviously it would have adult conversations and uncomfortable parts. So all this to say I hope you don’t let non-nuanced naysayers impact the authenticity of your work bc you are giving it all the justice it deserves!
