Hello loves <3

Mr. Lily and I have upgraded to a bigger apartment because with both of us working from home now, there's no longer enough space to co-exist. So for the past few months we've been busy with house transactions, lawyer appointments, insurance appointments, budget planning, and a ton of super fun adulting stuff. All this, in the middle of cats and husbands falling sick. (Not me though, apparently I don't fall sick. Me: *After a crazy day tending to sick husband, anxious mother-in-law, hungry yowling cats and overdue chores* "Um g-guys, I think I'm catching a cold too. Maybe I should go lie do-" Immune system: "Yeah, no you're as healthy as a horse. Get back to work, sucker.").

Anyway. The sales transactions are finally over, with legal procedures and approvals finally in place, and I can FINALLY breathe a sigh of relief. Though as of now, we're in the middle of a MASSIVE overhaul / renovation for our new place, so we still have a ways to go before all the dust has settled.

Needless to say, its been a whirlwind of a year so far and I've sorely underestimated how time-consuming and soul-sucking all this is. MPL production is taking me longer than I'd expected, and understandably so. But I don't want to add any pressure on myself to launch, so I'm allowing myself time and space to get all my real-life shit sorted before fully immersing myself into work. SO....this is me hiding from the (online) world until I'm ready to face reality again. But don't worry loves, I'm still alive and well, and here are some previews for ya <3

Lastly, I might or might not pause Patreon again next month, but I'll probably leave it till the last minute to decide. This is just a heads-up for you guys.

Take care my dears and stay safe always <33

TinyNomz

Take care of yourself! You deserve peace too! 💜💜💜

Seazar

It sounds like you’ve got enough on your hands, but still powering through! Take your time ♥️ So excited for when MPL comes back, and these sneak peeks are stunning ☺️ Wanna know what’s got Benjamin so nauseous hehe. But it’s gotta be on your terms. Much love from our kitties to yours.

Green Eyed Soul

What’s wrong with Benny boy 😂 BTW I love Poppy’s outfit 👌 And don’t worry, we will patiently wait for you 💚😊

Amber

CONGRATS ON THE NEW PLACE!!! Hopefully you guys take your time on renovations. I bought my house three years ago and trust I still havent finished lol!!! Its so much fun to take your time 😍. Glad to hear your hubby and the furry babies are doing better. Keep your head up 😉. Its all apart of the cycle. Take your steps one at a time and the important stuff will get done! Good luck! Love ya! Youre doing great ❤️

Life is beautiful

Take all the time you need you still still have 9 months until the new years! Plus get adjusted to your new home and everything. Loved the pictures specially the one of Tora's and Poppy's hands heheheheheheh. (Thinking dirty 😂 💦🤣) Any who please take good care of your self we love you!!! Thank you for letting us know you are alive and well.

Nolan

The colour palette looks so gorgeous across all of these panels! Can't wait to see what comes next 🥰

Catie

Congratulations on the new house! That’s exciting.

GeekGoddess

I appreciate how candid you are. You don’t have to tell us all this, but I think it’s amazing that you do. House hunting can be brutal, and then enduring renovations afterwards? That is stressful, too. It is important to give yourself time, and I’m glad you’re doing it. It just adds to how much sweeter it will be when this comic comes back. 😍

Katrina Zeng

Take care of yourself!! We appreciate the updates :) Looking forward to hearing from you soon

Caro

Congratulations on your new place!!! ❤️

Nina Castelmonti

Lilly, to have a stronger immune system see if you have low vitamin d. 80% of people have it. If so, take a supplement of vitamin d + k so that it is well absorbed. That will keep your immune system strong. Kisses💋

Pandakaizen

Congrats on the new place and much mojo for getting your new level of adulthood set up just right for you, Mr. Lily, and the kittehs! Thank you for the previews as well! Please do focus on taking care of yourselves and getting back to being happy and healthy. ❤️

SparkleArts

Kick the ass of life, my friend!

Linden

Sarai Villalobos

Aahhhh Lily!!!!! I am so glad to hear that you are alive and doing well 😁😘🥰 I’m sorry to hear about your family I hope they are feeling better 🙏 Please continue to take care of yourself and stay safe ❤️😊🥰 Thank you so much for this update and sneak peaks it make me even more excited for S2 😝😈😍

Robin Lopez

We miss ya but totally understand about major life changes. I pray all gets done in a timely manner. Hope Mr.Lily is better and your mother in law is calming down, I say take a large bag of cat food and open it and let the cats go after it... 😂 I understand that renovations take time, dealing with some myself after my parents lost their home to a house fire in November. Remodeling sucks at times. Hopefully it will all go smoothly for y’all! Fingers crossed 🤞

Aubribri

Get that life glow up girl! You're such an amazing and driven person. The balance is hard, but you're doing amazing. I about fainted at the sight of these sneak previews thoooo!!! Take your time @lilydusk we will be here, waiting patiently (as much as we can be) for Tora and Poppy to return to us. Stay safe!

Penny Koligas

Nice hearing from you! Congrats on the upgrades and all the best to Mr. Lily. Stay safe and take care of your precious self and family. Thank you for the update. God bless you.🥰

Emily Basso

You deserve all the things and time AND money so I say leave patreon open and just post if you ever have anything. As long as people know before hand they can chose to stay for the month or not! 😁 But any who. AHHHHHH those previews! So beautiful, even that punks horrid bug covered face from the previous post. I’ll take it 😂 but everything looks so brilliant and detailed. And the lighting and body language set such powerful mood indicators I’m know I’m going to feel all the emotions. Between Benjamin losing his cool and Tora grabbing Poppy’s hand I’m back on the “JFBSKROXJSKndbfbrjsbfjbxi” train 😍 GAH!

SOPHIA A

Renovations are tough. You're probably getting sick because now that you don't have to take care of your husband or a cat your body is like I can finally be sick. Hang in there and take the time you need.

Tiana Veronica

Thanks for the previews! And take your time girl you gotta take “you” time to make sure you stay mentally and physically healthy

Eralya

I'm glad to hear about you! Even if you do not fall sick, your body and mind can feel tiredness. I hope you take all the time you feel like you need without feeling pressured 😊. Take care 👋

BritainLee

Sending all the love

Kseniaaa

So happy to hear from you !!! Please take care and make sure you are healthy and all around you are same! I know how tiring is it ~ /next gonna be my self crying shit~ I tried to rent a new apartment for two month now, but because I’m a foreigner, in Japan, no one wants to deal with it~ so guess what? I’m reading webtoon and on my 5th time on MPL ))))))) and with a big middle finger to all real estate agents~~ maybe someday I will get the business card with a ‘lethal weapon’ hahaha ~ Lily~ Gambatte!!!!!!

Owlet

Thank you for the update! Stay safe and be safe! You got this! :D

Sahar

Wait are tora and poppy having lunch with ben?? Ahhh I'm so excited but take your time dear

Leslie

Congratulations on the life upgrades! I love the color in these previews....

Ms Scorpia

Congratulations on the new place! I hope all two and four-legged family members get healthy and you stay healthy and happy during this transition.

Allie Kelly

You should totally take care of yourself and Mr Lily first. Besides the more organized and settled you are on the front in the easier and more smoothly things will proceed when you do come back. We all want you to enjoy your work and not just getting through it! Will happily wait to read your magic!

Schkaka

Congrats on all the new adulting fun. It can be so stressful but so worth it when its done. Hope kittys and husband are doing better. Make sure to take care of your self. Take all the time you need girl!!

kinkajou

Congratulations! And it’s so nice hearing from you, I’m glad that you and yours are safe, not from a cold, but safe

larosamorada

Interesting...we have a new color scheme...*looks @saucytuggles for indepth analysis* and whose hands be catching whose? 👀👀 Huge congrats on the new place and surviving a sick hubby - manflu, like Quincey says, is the worst of all sickness 😂... maybe now you can enjoy the space 🥰🥰🥰 But you already know what I'll say. Take your time, take a longer break if you need to. You don't owe anyone an explanation, but I get the desire to shut down the game of telephone that tends to happen in the fandom. 💜💜💜 Given these delicious previews, I'd say take a longer break. People will live.

Wendy H

Congrats on the bigger space! Hope that your husband and cats feel better soon and you continue to be safe from whatever cold it may be! Glad that you are otherwise well and thanks for sharing sneaky peeks with us! Take your time and stay well!! Also yay it's Spring!

Meilin05

A new life for a better life, job and enjoyements. Congrats for your new home !! We'll wait for your hard work for sure =)

Meilin05

Take care of yourself <3

Katie Essian

Take all of the time you need. Although we ALL want MPL back, I think we all agree that we’d rather have you back in tip top shape than just barely being alive 😅

Ashley H.

Take your time, stay well, and thank you for the updates ❤️

Hannah_Wills

The scenes look tense 👀 Tora needing a smoke, Poppy clutching her bag and looking confused 😱 the possibilities! Congrats on the 🏠 and we can’t wait to her from you again soon 😊 take all the time you need! 💕

Alice

Congratulations on all the new life changes! Those can be super stressful so take care of yourself! Thanks for the sneak peaks, the art work is beautiful!

secretagentt

That is a lot of adulting happening. I would say if you can better to take the time to set yourself up for success than to burn the candle at both ends, professional and personal. That will likely lead to burnout that sounded like was already beginning to happen before this intial planned time off.

Ruby Riddle

Oof - moving in the midst of everything is pure chaos. I did that last year and it about killed me, but I have a poor immune system and a faulty heart 😂. Many good vibes to you and your family for a smooth renovation and good health going forward. Take all the time you need to get settled and get in your groove. Health and relaxation is important, hopefully you can get some 'you' time in there too ♥️

Nicole Schreiner

Do whatever makes you feel comfortable and safe! I don’t mind waiting another month at all.

heather jaynes

We are here to support you in every way, take all the time you need and we’ll all be waiting right here for you when you’re ready and rested 😁

Elly

Congratulations!! 🎉 Take care and don't overwhelm yourself.

Darla (Tora’s THOT)

According to these panels this is what I predict is happening: 1Tora has smoke break like always but possibly is standing outside udon/ramen restaurant. 2 Poppy is all like, “I’m shy don’t look up my SKIRT tora...(that’s right A SKIRT this time 😬) and they gonna order noodz 🍜 3Poppy crumples napkin in anger cause she angry noodz were subpar. Tora be like “don’t worry sweetheart, I’ll get ya sum thing else” 4Benjamun just had said noodles and bout to yack 🤮 And lily take all the time you want, relaunching new season takes sooo much pressure on you & your team, just do it whenever you feel the time is right and when y’all want to go back to the grind and intensity... my predictive story line is purely for entertainment purposes 🤣🤣🤣

Diana Ramirez-Santos

Lily please take as much time as you need. We will wait, what’s important is your physical and mental health 💖✨ we will wait patiently for when you are ready

Blacwings

EmeryDiLoncrete

Noelle Shields

Being a working from home you need to be at your best comfort to put out your amazing work. Take your time to feel right and allow some room to breath. I myself would rather you continue your break then to see you burn out. 💜 and congratulations on the new home!!

EmeryDiLoncrete

I loved the art before but OMG these panels are so beautiful!!!! The colors are captivating and my girl Poppy looks so damm adorable!

Christina Agan

Lily, your health and well being comes before anything else. We are all here and we are perfectly capable of waiting like mature adults. You give us all so much and share your life and creativity with us. The very least we can do is be patient. Please take care of yourself, Mr. Lily, your kitties and getting settled into the new place. (Congrats by the way!) life is unexpected and wild sometimes, but updates here do not need to happen if they contribute to your stress. Hope everything calms down and you get some peace and relaxation soon! 💚

Lo

Bethany Runyon

Hello my Lilly, I guess the two of us are living parallel lives because the life you just described sounds strangely familiar. And OH MY GOSH is this shit stressful! So many decisions, and the to do list NEVER ends, and where did all my self-care go? I can't wait until it's (basically) settled down.

Asia

These panels look great! Anyhow, self care is important! ❤

BumbleBlueBee

I've been wanting to move for ... a decade? Now, of all summers, my husband is finally game. We have soooo much stuff. I just want to snap my fingers and make it done. Financially, physically, and mentally hard. Hope you are able to rest up the way you need to. Looking forward to when you return, whenever that is. I'm cool to sit back and enjoy the available story, over and over. Fanfiction is awesome too. 🥰

Kari

Can’t wait for you to be all settled in and super excited for next season 💕 I think we all want you to be in the right head space and work space so you can continue to make beautiful stories ! And I for one wouldn’t mind being charge for next month to support you ! 💕 hope that helps with your decision making.

Lauren

It has occurred to me that poppy is probably trying to wipe something off of toras face in these panels. Hence the hand grab and Ben (I think??) trying not to laugh at the end! I miss them all so much. I can’t wait for season 2.

Gingerine Tangerine

If someone could explain to my how it is I can get so excited at seeing the man's SHOES I would appreciate it!
