Hi everyone! You might've seen that I'm pausing billing for the month of August, but in case you didn't see the email, I'll let you know here. I haven't posted anything for the month of July, so I will make it up in August by not charging for posts this month.

I'm kinda having a mental block lately so I haven't been that productive at all... while I'll still post on August, I will keep the Patreon billing paused until Boyfriends season 3 launches again (did you know I'm doing season 3 btw!!!), and hopefully by then things will resume as normal.

OK POST OVER IF YOU JUST WANT UPDATES now reason why I'm feeling so stuck

Dealing with Webtoon had been super frustrating, I haven't been able to fulfil several Vol. 4 book pre-orders yet since they JUST told me that I need to have a US billing address if I were to place a book order to my US warehouse. The thing is I'm not a US citizen and getting a US address-connected payment method is complicated... and Webtoon is doing so little to help me out with this. I'm the author of this book and I can't even order my books, it's so fucking frustrating. This batch of books order is supposed to be for an upcoming convention too (ANYC), and it's gonna fall through because it's already past the deadline for sending items to the convention center. Not to mention the pre-orders on my online store too. I'm still talking to them about figuring things out but it's just REALLY frustrating since I WAS able to order books to my US warehouse before, so there was no reason for me to think this is going to happen.

By the way I don't remember if I told ppl online but the last time I ordered books for another convention (Dokomi) more than half of them didn't arrive for the convention and I still had to pay for the books anyway :) :) :) :) :) :) :) it's like damn do you have no authors that sell books in conventions before like is it such a rare occurence that you don't know what the fuck to do in this situation.

OK rant over HAHAHA

Hi! It's so sad to see that authors are treated that way! Especially when we know that without you, any of you authors, they wouldn't exist or make any money... And I just want to say exactly the same as another of your followers here: don't stop billing us just because you don't post. We support you so that you don't have to feel pressured to post and force yourself to draw to live. So no, our support is not to have your drawing each month. They are just an amazing bonus! I love seeing them, don't get me wrong, but if people don't want to support you because you don't post for months, they can just suspend their contribution. So please, keep billing us even if you don't post. We just want to support you.

WHY are they telling you this NOW and why would this even matter in the first place😑 I'm sorry you're going through all of this. Art blocks are giant bitch, but for what it's worth your handling this remarkably well. What is Webtoon even doing anymore other than making things more complicated?😵‍💫

We are so blessed, another season!! Also so sorry for all the unfair shenanigans causing struggles 🫶 You're so valid and I really hope you get the ressources you need for everything to be resolved smoothly and soon.

I'm so sorry to hear about the troubles, but thank you for the billing explanation! I'm not sure if you've heard about it, but Visa and MasterCard and I think a few others have stopped allowing payment to certain NSFW creators/items, and I was worried something had happened. Hopefully soon it gets resolved....

wildly oversalted

webtoon is the worst and im sorry my country is...also the worst (´ヘ`'') I'm very excited for more boyfriends tho!!

Your publisher should definitely be helping you otherwise why have a publisher at all. You could just self publish. I hope that if you renew your contract with them you can add a rider that says they are responsible for overseas publishing logistics including a local shipping/banking address and any shipping fees. That is literally their job. I’m so frustrated for you.

If it was legal to beat people up, I would. I would beat the shit out of everyone who has wronged you, Ray! The Webtoons guys, any jerks working at the publishers, the conventions jerks, whoever is responsible for the overseas billing address rules for shipping books to the right places, all of them! You don’t deserve all this bullshit. You work hard for the love of art. I just hope that whatever can be worked out in the end does so. And I hope things start looking up for you. 🫶🏻

I live in New Jersey, 45 mins outside NYC, if you want help in any way I am more than happy to do so!!

super

man, webtoon sucks ass. if you ever ditched them, i’d follow your work wherever you decided to host your art projects. boyfriends is such a lovely feel good queer story but im so mad that joy is steeped in webtoon’s festering cesspool. please don’t feel time pressure on preorders (outside of the con sales)- i live in US and i preordered but im fine to wait a while for it, now that i read up on webtoon stalling you out. :/

Hey, we hear you bro, and we love you! You’re a super talented person and a wonderful human being! And if webtoon can’t see that then they have NO clue what they’re missing! I genuinely wish you the best in figuring this all out!😊❤️
