Hello my dears, I hope everyone's been well. I'm here with an official announcement that MPL's mid-season hiatus starts this week and will hopefully return in 3-4 month's time (I can't confirm a return date yet so I'll update y'all again). This hiatus was originally scheduled for July, but my editor and the Webtoon team have been very kind and agreed to bring it forward so I can take a longer bereavement break. Many thanks to them 🙏

This season's Webtoon episode updates have been erratic, and I know it's been frustrating for many of you; in spite of that, y'all have continued gracing me with your kindness, patience and understanding, which blows my mind and I want you to know it'll always be my greatest honour and privilege to have y'all as my readers and friends. Anyway, fingers crossed that when I'm back from the hiatus I'll be able to keep to a more stable Webtoon update schedule!

In the meantime, please stick around because I'll be back very soon with this month's Patreon rewards (Secret Gardens, MPL high-res art, etc.). Take good care of yourselves, and I love you guys always <3

you take care of yourself, Lily! ❤️ in the meantime, here's an idea: when the series comes back again, why not 2 episodes a month instead of one per week? I think that'll be a lot easier for ya ☺️

Emily Basso

I’m so glad Webtoon gave you the time you sorely need. For me, the first month of grief was a blur of survival mode and denial. Then the next few months were the bulk work of fumbling around and finally understanding what I needed to do to be okay again. I’m sure you’ll still be creating during this time so that you can work towards a consistent upload schedule when you come back, but I’m glad you can do it without the weekly deadline. Hopefully you can look inward during this time and learn a lot about yourself and your relationship with your family. There are sparks of light that only come out in darkness, and I hope they glow brightly for you during this time ❤️❤️

Kimberly Delgadillo

We shall wait patiently! Take all the time you need. I pray it gives you healing and peace 🥺

Thank you for letting us know, take care of yourself. I'm happy to hear that they brought it up for you and hope that the time will help you feel better.

Eva

Thank you for the update Lily. Glad you are taking the time you need 💕

larosamorada

I'm so, so glad WT gave the green light for a hiatus 🙌🏻🙌🏻. I cannot imagine trying to create (and a romance nontheless) while actively grieving. 🥺💜 As for the updates, I think we can all understand and empathize. I know I haven't been working top notch in the last few years, given everything that the world has gone through (not to mention personal stuff). We're all more than a little exhausted and still very much in recouperation stage. 🙏🏻💜 Sending you all the love, hugs, and a restful time off. 💜💜💜💜

~LostSoul~

Take all the time you need Lily-san...we will all be right here waitin for ya!! I'm sorry you had a tragedy in your life and I'm glad you have Mr. Lily!! Sending all my love to you and your family!!❤️

A

Sorry for your loss. We aren’t going anywhere.❤️

IcingQuinYang2

Take your time. Grief is a challenging time. There is no time limit, there are triggers that can bring you down just when you think you're okay. It's been three years and the grief is still there. Don't let anyone tell you how to grieve. We all grieve in our own ways.

Fallow

When I saw this push notification pop up, my first thought was "I hope this isn't Lilydusk saying that she's going to start updating again-it sounds like she's had a pretty significant loss and I hope Webtoons isn't pressuring her to start updating so soon." So I'm really glad to hear you're getting more time to grieve. I know you've had a hard time turning off work mode when you're on break, so please focus on taking time for yourself <3

Kristy Hine

Wishing you the best. Please take care.💜

Mary Austin

emilyjean

Please take all the time and space you need 💜 Working non-stop with so few breaks is just not sustainable for anybody’s mental or physical health. You and your story have gotten us all through some tough shit the past few years, and we’ll be here when you’re ready to return 💜

Danielle Richey

During difficult times, we tend to loose ourselves in the day to day hustle and bustle of life. We tend to neglect our needs and put others first, but what we really need is to take time for ourselves so we can truly be there for our family and friends. The point I'm trying to make is, take the time you need. Most of us have been there and understand that it's easy to loose yourself in the moment. I hope the best for you and your family, sending prayers.

Frany

Take care of yourself ❤️❤️❤️ !

Angie Nail

Tak care of you, and take all the time you need, loosing some one close to you is never Easy we love you and want whats best fore you take care, sending hugs your way 💜💜

Grief makes its own schedule - take your time with yourself and your loved ones, and get back to MPL when it’s helpful to you. We can wait. Sending light to you.

Krystine

I'm super glad that you're able to take this time to rest and grieve. It's not easy losing a family member. I just lost my Godsister back at the end of February and I'm still mourning her loss. You'll have times when you'll just randomly want to burst into tears and that's okay! It's okay not to be okay! But thank you for always being transparent with us and thank you always for giving us this amazing story! Take all the time you need! We'll all be here when you get back! Send you lots of love!💜

Imani Lancaster

Grieve and rest as you need. We'll be here when you get back.

And after all this time, she FINALLY takes the break she deserves. Hope to see you soon in better condition. In the meantime, take care of you and your family. Enjoy your life. Cherish all the moment you can have with the one you love. Been living something similar unfortunately and I am still mad at me for putting my work and money before my family. We’ll wait for you no matter what. See ya ! 😘✌️

CurlyPandinas

Enjoy your well deserved break, Lily! Take good care of yourself 🤗

Yvonne padilla

Yes please take care of you and your family♥️ I was hoping you’d take more time off because grief is hard mentally emotionally and physically! Don’t worry about us we’ll still be here☺️ take care lily ♥️♥️

Ester-bean

Take good care! 🤗🤗

BegoniaRex

I hope you can unplug completely and step away from everything as much as possible to get time for yourself and to just be with your loved ones. Dealing with grief requires more time than a lot of people realize or are willing to allow for, so I'm very glad you are able to take several months off now rather than trying to white knuckle through until the summer time. You deserve to take time for yourself, to rest, to do whatever you need to feel loved and recharged again. You are more than your story or art, and I hope you know you deserve to take care of yourself as much as you need.

AceInHerPlace

Love you bunches babe! We will be here waiting patiently for you to come back.❤️❤️❤️

Collen straub

Please take your time and recover both emotionally and mentally. Loss isn’t easy to deal with as we move on with everyday obligations and mundane tasks. We support you 💕💝

Kimmyjoe

Most definitely wish for you to take the time you need to heal. No sense in rushing back and then realize that you need more time for yourself. Self love Self care are what are most important right now. We'll be waiting patiently and re-reading all the other great past episodes!! :-)

GingerCyn

Grief is a beast to navigate. Wishing you some peace during your healing hiatus! Self-care is a priority over rushing back to work <3

Birdsong

So glad you can move the mid-season break to give yourself more time. Holding space for grief is so important.

aenid abdullah

It's ok darling...i'll wait for Tora as usual.you just make sure you are ready to be up and about when you are really ready,ok?

Alf .

Take all the time you need love, you’re appreciated always <3

Belle Rêveur

Focus on taking care of you and your mental health! We’ll be here when you return. Much love ❤️

tkd sis

The part of me that dreamed of Tora and Poppy last night really wants them back soon or wishes I could just read what happens. The rest of me understands that even delayed we get stuff sooner than the average mainstream print book I'm more used to so I'm resigned to waiting somewhat patiently. Hope things are as good as they can be for Lily and family.

PuppyShade

Do you have any idea on a return date yet? Just wondering. I miss MLP so much!!

Molly Shannon

Midnight in Poppyland came up on my suggested and after the first episode i was hooked. I literally read it all up to date in a day. Now my life is on hold until the seasons not on hold XD Your work is simply amazing, I thank you immensely
