Hello loves, this dumb anxiety disorder has made me embarrassingly fragile and scared of many things - for the first time in my adult life - including posting online. So I'm biting the bullet, doing my exposure, and making this barebones announcement post because something is better than nothing - MPL is slated to return in February 2023, sooner if I can finish more buffer episodes, but I won't promise anything else until I have them ready. In the meantime, I'm working on Secret Garden posts for November, so you can expect those within the next few days. Thank you guys for being here, and I love you all so much <33

Lily I’m so sorry to know about your anxiety problem but believe me I totally understand you, don’t worry and please always put yourself first in these situations, you are a really important person for us, MPL we will always exist as far as you are ok and happy 😊 so please recover yourself, relax and enjoy these season surrounded by your love ones ❤️

Seazar

What good news! I’m so sorry you are experiencing so much anxiety. It’s all too familiar. The less you post the more daunting it becomes. But I always tell myself that online platforms like instagram are a room of my mental house. It’s my space, I get to decorate when and how I want. And if someone doesn’t like it they know where the door is 😋 I really hope this break has been helping you replenish your energy reserves ✨

BumbleBlueBee

My cell hated me. Keep loosing my post, lol. Okay so where was I.... well its great to hear from ya. A buffer sounds like a great plan! I'm horrible at doing the equivalent in my line of work so from my point of view that is awesome. Anxiety blows. I deal with it and its prevented from doing what I love. Some days are better than others at least! Better post this before I lose it again!

LyricWitch

Awesome news! Thank you for the update...anxiety is no joke...thanks for taking the leap to check in! ❤💕 Sending lots of love your way!!

BumbleBlueBee

February! Its marked on my calendar as something to maybe look forward to. But again if u need more time, that's cool. Its been great the last 3 years!! Looking forward to more. Its your story and I'm here to enjoy where u take us.

TinyNomz

Thank you for the update! Be safe and take care of yourself.

AEGAST

Dear Lilydusk, thank you so much for being so brave and bearing yourself to us. I am so proud of you and all you have accomplished! I know this year has been just absolutely crazy yet you still remain resilient. Hang in there, Queen. We will be right here ❤️

larosamorada

😍😍 so excited! But take your time, make it extra juicy😈😏, and I have no doubt you'll come back with a bang! 🥰🥰🥳🥳

Tyana Ortiz

Great news!!! You are doing absolutely amazing and remember to take care of urself and give breaks when needed. We can wait and we love u!

Nissa

Nice to hear from you ! Anxiety is a long friend of mine so I do understand completely what you’re living right now, so thank you for trying ! However, since I am currently in Japan and I see red Subaru and men with black hair and ear piercings every day, I take advantage of this immersive experience to read MPL again. 🤣 Take care Lily and thank you for everything ☺️

Pleione

Good to hear from you Lily!! And a lovely update to look forward to for the new year 😌

Erin

Love you 💖

Ainariel

Yep seconding all the above. Anxiety can be a beast to deal with, and I'm confident in saying that all of us here just want you to take care of your mental health and not burn out. And thank you for the update. Cheering you on and excited for whatever content you drop whenever that might be. (And I mean, let's be real... with the amount of time fans will wait between book series, movie sequels etc, this isn't really any different. Creative work is demanding and doesn't happen overnight, and the expectation of unceasing content needs to be reset anyway, so please don't feel bad about working on your timetable and prioritizing your health ❤️)

Toni Pultro

Glad to hear from you and hope you’re staying well! We love youuuu!! 💗

Ximena Machete

Kelsey Lavallee

The thing I am most excited about with this post is that you pushed through your anxiety and did it! We keep ourselves uncomfortable when we try to keep ourselves comfortable. Instead you did the uncomfortable thing and it's going to feel so much better in the long run! We are excited for the next season whenever it is ready.

Woooo! Can't wait! -prepares party gear for next year- But I'm also happy that you are making sure to give yourself time to work at a pace that makes sense and won't grind you into the ground. I love MPL, but I don't want the comic at the expense of your health, physical or mental - I'm happy to wait as long as it takes if it means you are healthy and happy and excited about what you're making.

Anxiety buddies, UNITE. 😂❤️

Annie Elliott

We love you so much Lily! Thank you for keeping us posted! I completely understand where you’re at right now- always had anxiety as well- one of my best friends passed unexpectedly this year and just like you it’s sent my normally manageable general anxiety into a full blown disorder-♥️ thinking about you and just know you can take all the time you need and we will still be here for you. I’m so sorry this year has been hard for you.

Dani C

Take time that you need! 🥰
