he's just like me fr

(I'll refine this strip later bc I think it's kinda funny lmaoaoaoaoaoao)

OK SO This isn't super serious or anything, but I've been wanting to address this for a while. I'm sorry (not sorry?) about not drawing a lot of 18+ content of Goth. I know that he's the fan favorite and a lot of people want to see him in 18+ drawings, but I don't enjoy drawing him that way as much as I do the other characters. I see a lot of myself in him... I'm mega sex averse irl so it's a little awkward for me to draw him like that. It doesn't mean that I don't want to draw 18+ stuff of him at all, I just have to be in the right mood for it? AND I want to note that no one is forcing me to draw it (honestly I don't think I've ever drawn anything I don't wanna draw lmfao) but I just hope you guys understand and refrain as much as possible from asking "why don't you draw more 18+ Goth".

On a general note, I would appreciate it too if you refrain from asking me questions like "why don't you draw X" or "X and Y don't interact enough". It makes me feel super conscious about writing them, even though I make the effort to give them equal love and screentime haha.

I hope that's understandable. I think I'll write up a more thorough and updated FAQ for my Patreon, so rules are easier to understand. I'll be deleting comments/blocking people that makes me uncomfortable in the future. But yeah, I hope this is a reasonable ask and that you guys understand!

edit: I want to slip this in but it's 2 am and i'm not ready to write up a whole thing but I'M FEELIN WAY BETTER LATELY!!! like leagues better. I want to talk about it more but maybe after i'm fully awake. SO i hope you guys will have some good stuff in your life too!

What you are asking of your fans is absolutely without a doubt the most reasonable request. You are the artist, you make the rules of your world. I will do everything I can to respect your wishes. You are loved and appreciated Ray! 💕💕💕

WhoDoo

Of course, it's totally reasonable to have your limits and reasons with your characters! You don't need to justify it, especially here of all places. (And I know you're Ace, which is super valid.) While I do have my favorites, I'm honestly just happy to see more of the Boys, regardless of whatever they might be getting up to.

I love your work and it has brought me so much joy ever since I came across it. As the author of such an incredible artwork, I respect your decisions. It doesn’t bother me personally as to why x character is not with x character or y with y, I don’t mind at all. I respect and love your artwork and do as you please, I will always support you and respect both as the author and as a human being 😁🤍 !! You always got my support :D !! Whether is BF related or not, I still love your content (n.n)/✨ !

bea

we're here for whatever you draw that makes you happy <3 +18 is great and all but we love everything you do lol

Vy

Understandable. Any tidbit you give to us about any pairing is amazing tbh. I came here for the relationships, 18+ is just a major bonus!

Jules

I get that! I'm on the ace spec and am pretty sex neutral. Honestly just draw what YOU'RE comfortable with! You don't have to justify or reason for anyone.

CoziCherub

I'm at a loss for words but I feel and hear what you're saying and I understand where you're coming from ♥️

Aradia

Of course. Your work comes from you naturally, and that’s what makes it great. We wouldn’t have it any other way

Robyn L. Neal

Mmm, suffocation by extreme snuggling … what a great way to go.

SpenserRaen

I am just excited to have a lot of my identity represented in a character, goth and nerd are just me but in separate beings XD

VerdantWind

I like to think you give everyone equal love tbh! I think people just hyperfixate on certain characters and so wanna always see them more. You're doing great and as a sex-repulsed ace myself, I totally empathize with that. You do you! Thanks for what you've done so far~~~

josh ua

Understandable and do what makes you feel comfortable!

Isaac Potter

You gotta fo what feels right for you, they're your Bois and you ultimately decide what you want them doing we all love your characters because you made them how you did after all ✨️💗

Esbe

Absolutely reasonable!

acearohanda

im acearo and when it comes to self not into sex so i get it and actually super love that hes ace and not as frequently participating in the actual horny stuff (tho seeing him in the horny clothes is fire) tldr youre doing wonderful and should just draw what you want how you want there are poeple that appreciate it 💚💚

Abby

Glad to hear the sentiment. Interesting and understandable. It's hard not to imbue elements of yourself into creative outputs. I really love your content and it's always come off that goth just wasn't AS interested in sex as the others. And at least as a viewer and patron it makes what content we do get all the more special. And exclusive and sexy :)

Vamdc

Do your thing love, we’re just happy to be included ♥️

A Lee

All good bestie, also people will naturally gravitate towards certain people more often but it doesnt mean they love the others less and I think having it be slightly uneven in pairing screentime and 18+ exposure gives it the realistic vibe I love about your comic

Spaceboi

I hope many can respect your boundaries and that no one takes it personally, this just means that we all can help do our part to take care of you, bc without you, we wouldn't have our wonderful cast of characters 🤍

The Dag

Dude, never draw what turns you off. That's no fun at all. On a minor related note: Goth fully clothed while any of the other boys are undressed is peak hotness.

Liam Borja

I would actually just love to see Goth in lots of fun clothes XD every goth style and all other goth adjacent styles. totes thirst trap ACE style.

Definitelynotacosplayer

Draw whatever you want, I'll love it anyway xD Cuddles and fluff are my shit, the other stuff's just bonus

Ashley

I love that Goth is Ace! As a demi/grey, I love seeing him expressing his love in different ways, as I do.

SluutStarShine

not a big ask at all, these bois are your babies and your story to tell!!!!! i hope u have no reservations or guilt abt blocking anyone uncomfy!!! <3 this is a social space sure but it's centred on u so making sure it feels comfy and accessible for u should be treated as super important!!!!!! we love u!!! <3

Kmy

You are so right to respect yourself and your boundaries first! And no matter what you show with them, we love itbecause it's your imagination and work that make sense with it. So you do what you enjoy and want and we'll be along for the ride no matter what!

Bun

💜💜💜

Cole

These are your characters, your art pieces. You do what makes you happy and if that upsets people then let ‘em leave(hopefully quietly.) The rest of us are here to support all the amazing content you make! I know I love all of your characters so anything I see I’ll love. ♥︎

Natloe17

Love you writting this! You are the autor and have the right to keep just the good things and make a comfortable non-toxic space💕 In the other hand wasn't Goth asexual? Knowing that why do you ask for panels seeing goth in 18+ content? Non sense... Anyway thank you for the content and setting boundaries 🥹 love you work

Rian Jordan

As an Asexual Trans man, I understand EXACTLY how you feel.

TG

Thank you for sharing this. I'm asexual & I love to draw my characters, but I can't draw in R-18 even when I'm in the mood. Or if a character is too close to me or relates to me personally. For what it's worth I'm happy with whatever you post as long as it's not forced.

simp_librarian

YOU DO YOU BOO BOO I'll eat up whatever you create. I love it all. Goth is my fave, too. 🥰 I love him just the way he is.

Rikki Chadwick

That makes hella sense homie no worries

Meggie

Write what you want. Draw what you want. I'm here for the ride 😏

Xx_Sabishii_xX

Honestly. I stan asexual goth since I am also an asexual goth xD Draw Goth however you want to draw goth. He's your baby after all.

Cloudedskiez

YIPPEE!!!! IM SO GLAD YOU'RE FEELING BETTER!!! GET THAT 'TONIN BRO!!!!

EVWubs

100% understandable. Thank you for sharing this. Glad that you are doing better. 💜

artareon

The delicious jiddy content is good enough for me🤭

Floof monsters

I totally get what you mean. Honestly I hadn’t payed any attention to the distribution of each bfs nsfw content. I enjoy goth’s character a lot and I see myself in him for multiple reasons so just keep doing what feels right for you :)

F. Casanova

You can draw whatever makes you happy. I, for one, enjoy greatly all the material you provide to us, whether it is 18+ or not. It's obvious that you love all your characters a lot

Nicolette Williams

Totally understand. I have to be in the mood as well, otherwise I cringe when I try to write sex scenes about my characters.

Matt Sullivan

I hope when season 2 launches, comments like those won't make Ray quit.

Sofie

It’s okay! Adorable, wholesome Goth moments are my favourite anyway. 🥰

Red

I’m glad ur doing better. As someone who is discovering they are under the asexual umbrella, I thought the amount of nsfw art you did for him was relatable. Like yea I’m here for it but I’m also here to see their development and your thoughts while developing them. If u wanna draw that one day, cool and if you don’t, also cool. You gotta do what’s best for you ❤️

Ducklings Disaster

that's very understandable!! he's your character and it's your patreon, you do what makes you comfy! :D Also, I'm glad to read that you've been feeling better!! ✨

It’s ya boye

Glad to hear you’re feeling better, and absolutely understandable that you don’t wanna draw him as much. The moment I found out he was ace was like a lightbulb for me, he’s such a relatable character as is, but that really sealed the deal in making me truly feel like I wasn’t alone, there are people out there just like me. I really appreciate your work, keep going with what you like as long as you like it, y’know?

Vampireloveless

Hope you feel better! I could understand why goth would hit too close to home

Camila Leiva

Honestly, I didn't even notice any of that, I just enjoy every single piece you draw!

Jerry

It’s your art! Do what makes you happy and feels right.

glhw

I actually think it’s great that your characters reflect your real feelings. It’s an outlet for you and it really makes the characters more dimensional so don’t apologize at all!! Honestly I think most of us will be thrilled with anything you give us because we’re simps for you and your characters LMAO 🙃

beanyawl

I actually am really pleased Goth doesn't have that much 18+ content, since as someone who's pretty grey-ace (and who's interested in kink but not really physical sex) I'm always a bit surprised he has as much sex as he does. (When I do see him in scenes, especially when he's getting fucked, I'm like "whoa is that pleasurable for him or is he just, like, feeling pretty neutral about it but into his bfs being into it?") So I really actively like him not having much 18+ content <3. (But also none of this matters, since I hope you draw whatever you want to draw! Thanks so much for drawing, it's all so lovely :))
