Hello loves, MPL is on hiatus this week so no episode this week. Here's two years worth of my hair in exchange lol.

It’s been a while since I made a personal post so I thought I’d do one today. One: yep, I chopped it off on a whim today. After 1.5 years of living in a perpetual freeze state, I have officially left the trauma behind. Am proud.

Two: my stats are plunging, holy cow lol. Haven't even gone on Webtoon to check how it’s doing over there, nor am I going to, so please don’t tell me lol.

No surprises there, I saw it coming (for obvious reasons) and Webtoon hasn’t done any active promotion for MPL since...2021 or something. But I couldn’t have prevented it without sacrificing mental / physical health / time with loved one, so it is what it is! These days, I think of it as MPL going viral during the pandemic. At least I enjoyed my 15 minutes of fame while it lasted. It’s a little scary right now - I have zero clue what to expect from here on, and it feels like i’m free-falling from the sky lol. If I'm having a bad day, it’s…a little embarrassing, kinda crushing, and a bitter pill to swallow. But I also take it to mean two things. One: Covid is OVER, and y’all bitches are finally getting out of the house and on with your lives. Two: Fewer readers equals more freedom to take liberties with my content. In view of the above, I will absolutely, fuckin' take it 🎉🎉🎉😘

So YES! I am excited to unravel the rest of MPL, hopefully this time with renewed vigour and energy, AND zero compromises on my sanity and health. Hell, I might as well take my time to explore the subplots, savour every nook and cranny of the story. Just hoping to god, MPL won’t be cut short before I’m done—err. Lol, we’ll deal with it when we get there. For those of you still coming along for the ride, I hope you’ll continue to derive more pleasure and enjoyment from the story as I attempt to unravel the rest of MPL for you :)

I’ve wanted to get this off my chest for the longest time, so thanks for reading. And see y’all soon, I have new stuff to share!

MPL is one of my favorite stories I have ever read-whether in book form or webtoon. Thank you for the content you give us, MPL The Little Trashmaid and Lore Olympus are the only reasons I still use Webtoon and I so look forward to your updates here and new story posts on Webtoon. MPL is criminally under appreciated IMO, but please know how much we love and value the content you give us.

Andrea Lincoln

As long as you are taking care of yourself, I'll take whatever I can get ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

LemonTendie

You know we are sticking around. You have us hooked and we will be here to vent to, read, and hype you up with our comments. Take time for you ❤️

Fallow

Hearing MPL was trending lower is absolutely mind boggling to me. But yes, your mental and physical health is WAY MORE IMPORTANT! Super proud of you for putting your needs first and putting in the work to help yourself. I'm absolutely confident MPL will continue to do well. No doubt in my mind.

Stephanie Smith

This is still my favorite series. I love the art, I love the story. Everything about it!!! :) you’re doing great so don’t get discouraged!

Dmarxbringit

I am here for this new energy and thank you for loving us! Congrats in the new 'do and excited to see contentbwhen it comes! You make my Friday the best!

AceInHerPlace

I love that you believe I have a life outside of MPL (I do but it’s very small). MPL has been a big part of my life these last few years and I thoroughly enjoy anything and everything you create. Your mental health means the world to us so please continue to be safe and healthy. Also don’t forget to sacrifice your hair to the old gods to be granted their favor 🤣

Icca

Take the days you need! The entitlement of some readers is wild ( none of the patrons I don’t think) but your average reader… anyways…. Take your mental health days and take care of you! I for one will always be around waiting and excited to see what happens next!

Brittney Dole

MPL is by far my favorite WEBTOON, as the artist your needs are far more important. Those of us that truly love the story will wait as long as you need💕 I look forward to where you take MPLs story line

Ferrates

Health comes first! Take the days off it that you need, be with your loved ones and do all that you want. This a really wise decision. I hope you can explore all the nooks and crannies you want in the MLP story. 😊 You remind me that I need a hair cut too...

Amanda S Branson

We are all here sitting with you on this ride. Lets goooo!!! See where it takes us. Enjoy this liberation!

Celeste

I’m surprised by that honestly, because even though I’ve had to wait, I hopped back on the train as soon as it was back!! Do what you gotta do for you! My only ask if for more juicy stuff, but that’s where the Patreon sustains me, lol. Im loving the mystery element right now and I LOVED Loiuse’s introspection in last week’s episode.

larosamorada

Two years of stress chopped and gone. LOVE IT, HERE FOR IT! 👏🏻👏🏻💜💜 Stats be damned, I am here for your fierce determination to tell the story as you see fit and with your own well being in mind! Search those nooks and crannies, I'm so excited to see where you take it. 😍😍 Hopefully the fans that left were just the fair weather folk and maybe we'll see less bitching and whining 🤣👏🏻. Love to see your growth my dear! 💜💜💜💜

Ms Scorpia

We are here for you and looking forward to any and all twists, turns, and loop-dee-loops coming up in MPL. ❤️❤️❤️

About Stevens

Been reading since the beginning and aint leaving!

stiffKITTY

Happy your taking the time for yourself. Your health is always what's most important. I'm in super in LOVE ❤️ 😍 with MPL! I look forward to the future of MPL. I'm a fan and continue to follow every bit of your content. Thank you

Allyssa

MPL is my happy place when I'm feeling low, so just know your art is more than just a story to some. I hope you can find the same comfort in something as I have found in MPL.

Jo Aspen

I feel liberated FOR you just looking at that chunk of hair! How short is it now?

Eris Ivy Fallen

MPL is one of the best Webtoons on the app and still continue to be my favorite. Unfortunately due to work schedules and a work injury I haven't had time to catch up 😭

Anastasia Winborne

Always take care of yourself! But I will always be an avid reader. I absolutely love the characters you have created and will read whatever you put out with them!

Frufflopolis

Take care of yourself first. Real fans will always stick by their artist/author.

RaLa9008

We love you Lily!! ❤️❤️❤️Take all the time you need, your mental health is the most important thing above all else🤗 Midnight Poppyland will always be worth the wait and no matter your Webtoon stats it'll always be my favorite webtoon! I'm so excited to see what you've got planned coming up ❤️❤️❤️

Darla (Tora’s THOT)

Girl- I’m gonna see this as a blessing as well, as it filters out the serious readers and your time to fucking shine with more freedom! And yes it’s true, Covid over = wayyy busier lives 😭 my selfish heart misses quarantine with a passion but I know not many others liked it/suffered from it…and the hair- girl I’m sure you’re gonna look beautiful like you always do! And shorter hair is wayyyyy easier to maintain anyway. Regardless of going viral/losing popularity, etc, im 100% sure I will still be here and your DAY 1s bruh 😎 so try not to lose your shine, you’re still shining, just let the momentum weed out those complainers kno what I’m saying! ❤️❤️❤️

Lou

I love MPL and I am sending you love and cheers Lilydusk!!

kanishka bhandari

We all know how commitments are difficult. Especially if you have to provide a new chapter every week. Illustration projects and storyboard maintenance everything takes a huge toll on health. I just hope you do your best lily, and plz don't chop your hair like this, style them and rock.

Camille A.D.

🙌💛💛💛 I've been here for years and I'm staying here for years. I'm proud of you and your work. Much love and support!

Ty

MPL is, and always will be, my favorite ♡ (love re-reading AB, too tho. Lol. Not gonna lie -- and lets not forget all the special side stories of both couples+🤗🥰). I'll follow you to the end, Lily ♡♡ Hopefully, there are enough of us to make you understand that no matter what the stats say, you are cherished and loved and supported! Aloha 🫶🫰🤙

Pleione

Looking forward to every fleshed out detail and moment you can give us, Lily! Have loved it from the start. You're doing great!

Zoerky

Love you Lily! Take your time! Your mental, emotional and physical health is upmost priority always! MPL will always be worth waiting! Glad you’re able to take your story the way you want it! 💜

Katrina McGrady

We love you, we love MPL and want the best for you! Lots of us will stay with you 💕

Maria E.

I am absolutely here for the duration of the ride! And if it helps any, one of my friends who has heard me rave about MPL for *years* finally bit the bullet herself and is now also obsessed.

Lora cawkins

You Go Girl!!!!!!!! Mental health is nothing to mess with. I know I've been there too. I'm not going anywhere. I Love MPL and always look forward to any snippet no matter what time it's posted. So glad to read your feeling better. Hope this continues.

Jillian Biehl

You’re my favorite author by far Lily! Those of us who are loyal to MPL will be here til the bitter end lol So happy to hear that you’re embracing life again, and can’t wait to see what’s in store for not just Pops, Tora, and Quincess, but the rest of our beloved (or horrifically hated) cast and crew. You do you, Boo! We’re here! ♥️♥️♥️

Courtney

Your health is more important. We are here for the ride. We love the story and understand you are human. I am sorry somehow Webtoons made you feel you couldn't be.

Tuathadanu

Good for you! I love your work and i think would enjoy any twists and turns you take your stories. Lots of love and appreciation!

Chelsea Q

I’ll always support you and MPL. It’s by far my favorite and I can’t wait to see where it goes.

AEGAST

Honestly, if it weren’t for your amazing story, I wouldn’t have found this community or this little slice to hang out at. A main theme to this story is mental health and the journey along the way as you navigate through different situations that life gives you. Whether it’s potato humping ex-boyfriend’s or being caught up in the mafia from a young age and living in the dark for so long, it sheds a light on the struggles that these characters go through. And even though these characters are fiction, the issues are quite real. So, if you’re creating a story about this, you absolutely should be taking your OWN health into consideration. We are here for you and I know if you have to go rogue and find a different platform, I’m gonna be there too. Stay healthy❤️

Kaitlyn

MPL was the first webtoon series I ever read and is really the only one I’m excited for. I do read more series now but MPL is still the only series that I would buy coins for because I’m so excited to read. MPL is a happy comfort zone for me. And the only webtoon series which I’m subscribed to Patreon for.

STEPHANIE HORN

MPL is definitely one of the best comics around. I've reread us at least 4 times since I started. I'm excited to see where it goes, but I'm more excited for you to focus on yourself.

Emily Basso

That hair chop is a Bad Ass Asuras Bride move! Next time use a sword 🤣👏 and I can’t wait to read more SUB PLOTS!!!! I feel like with fame comes pressure to conform and honestly? That’s the death of creativity. I fucking love MPL but the most emotion I’ve felt was from the time before things got crazy with the fandom. Before it “went viral”. It’s always been amazing but I miss that X factor I would feel when you were in the zone. You couldn’t have prevented all that stress and trauma that hit you, and with all that you still kept MPL up to a fabulous standard. But I wanna see more things that make you laugh and smile while you draw them. And I think sub plots and slice of life scene will do that and we will FEEL IT. I just know it ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Corinne Kalet

MPL is still my absolute favorite webtoon and I’m not going anywhere! You take care of you!

Pilar Simón

First is the person and then comes the author. You, your health and your loved ones should be the firsts in your priority list. For us that love your work, it's incomprensible that MPL is so under rated. But here we are! Ready to read these worlds that you create. Last month was really mentally tiring for me, and that took a toll on my health and sanity, but reading MPL again was one of the things that made look forward for another week to come. So I would like to support you like you supported me. Give you the quality time you deserve, gurl! And we will keep loving you!

Ashley Scrivner

My friends and I always chat about MPL even when on hiatus. We are 24 year olds with separate lives. We connect via your story because we all started it in college. So you do have fans no matter where things go in life. I am going to give you a couple of quotes that helped me when ever I feel blue or lost : “Revolve around the ability to become what you are, instead of what you can be” | “There’s no such thing as a painless lesson, they don’t exist. Sacrifices are necessary, you can’t gain anything without loosing something first. Although if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you’ll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle.” | “Loneliness is a kind of tax you have to pay to atone for a certain complexity of mind” ***don’t worry, you are doing great ❤️

Krystine

Yes yes yes! Get it girl! Do what you need to do! As a fellow artist I know it can be shitty to be in a slump but we are human. We need time to decompress and also enjoy life. I feel like MPL will always have a decent sized following. Your style and stories are top notch. I personally will keep in paying my patreon dues every month because I want to support you! You are amazing 👏 You are loved 💗

Lauren Schneider

That's exciting! Getting free from trauma is such an amazing feeling. I've been chugging on my own for a few years and know the work. Looks like the hair chop was a big physical expression of your inner work and that's awesome.

Knighves

I absolutely LOVE this webtoon and am ETERNALLY GRATEFUL to you for sharing. Please do what's best for you and i am also excited for you to have fun with the story and "unravel" 🥰 your artwork is amazing, the story is wonderful, and i wish i had a body pillow of Tora 😅

honeybeesandme

Nothing so liberating as a major change in hair style !! I only recently found MPL, binged it all and am now rereading. It is so great and I so appreciate all the work you've put into it. I hope you are able to take all the care and time you need for yourself \o/ you rock !

Mali McEnderfer

Then there's me just getting COVID for the first time this week. 😵‍💫 Kick this shit in the face Lily, your story is a gem and if WEBTOON can see that that then they don't deserve it. Take it somewhere else and we'll all follow. ❤️

Jenn and Caitlyn

We love you and love MPL, too! We look forward to reading it and getting to know all the characters and their stories 😍 we'll stick with you and don't care one bit about the stats! Freedom to do what you want with your story is the best thing and readers that don't agree can go on and find something else if they don't like it. Chop the hair, chop the fake fans!

Catsmeow

Have always loved MLP, Will ALWAYS love MLP no matter how long it takes to see it all unravel.

Lilith44

Idk about any one else but I’ll read mpl till I’m on my death bed if that’s what it takes. Literally my fav story/ art ever I tell everyone about it and can’t wait to see how it grows no matter how long it may take it’s important to put your happiness first!🥰wish you the best and hope mpl is as much a treat to make for you as it is to read and hopefully not a chore!!

Elsa Björnberg

I will always support you and MPL! Me and my best friend send each other pic of Tora to cheer each other up 🤭 When I have bad anxiety I often reread all of it, and I will love whatever you will do with it!❤️ The most important thing is that you take yourself and your health first and im glad you are!!😁🙏 ❤️

districtofdaisy

New episodes are still the highlight of week!

MissAdventure

Love this story and appreciate all the mental, physical, emotional work you put into your creation! I’m here for whatever and wherever and whoever MPL-related!

Natalie Spitzer

MPL has been a source of immense joy for me since it dropped way back when. Here with you till the very end! ❤️

IrehFish

MPL is and has been my favorite comic on Webtoon and I will continue to read it until you’re done, through all the twists and turns you want to take. Thank you so much for all your continued work, can’t wait to see where the story goes ❤️

Nissa

Bonjour Lily ! Was here, am here and I’ll be here ! As we all said previously, that’s your story so do it for yourself first. This is your writing, your ideas, your creativity and your humor we do appreciate. You succeeded at gathering a community of really fucked up women (yep i’m talking about us) and this is something you can be proud of. Your writing has helped us a lot more than you think. From my point of view, MPL is my vision of a safe & happy place. So yep, not ready to leave.

IcingQuinYang2

I will always support you and remain loyal to MPL. That's my only real favorite. Keep sane and short hair is liberating, did this thirty years ago 😂😂

Aquarium_fish

as we say, good things take time... take as much time as you need, take a break when your soul, body and spirit need it. Creating such a great thing likes MPL takes time and a lot of energy! take your break whenever you need them. this story After all, what you have created here also has serious themes and reflects real life in many facets. with all this ups and downs. And as an artist you also have to process that. I stand behind you 100% in all your decisions. Thank you for letting us be a part of it.💞💞💞💯💯

sara bedard

I will always read!!!!!!

PhoenixFyre

On Webtoons they did have an amazing banner for MPL. I loved it. I also grow my hair about 8" and donate it the cancer society as I am a survivor too. My son used to grow his hair long to donate it also.

Katie Weedon

MPL is my favourite, so of course I will read it until the end!! 🥰🥰

Anja

I'm definitely here for the ride! And I'm here to stay!

Mally

You're a badass and will always have my support. Keep doing what you're doing and taking care of you. You deserve nothing less babes.

Malorie

Lily I am here to stay girl, so you do whatever you need to do and I’ll be happy to support it all. MPL is my absolute favorite/first webtoon and I am hooked. I can’t wait to see and hear all that is my Poppy and Tora. Congratulations on taking the steps you needed for your health and well-being because that is all that matters. Don’t forget we all love you 🥰

Aquarium_fish

but now to the thing with the hair! why is everybody who I knew now cutting off their hair(I guess it's a new beginning thing)! I like your brave step. I think it's a good sign. My biggest respect that you have cut off almost two years away!!

Julie Skrobot

Congrats on your chop!!! I hope your head feels lighter. And don't let your stats stress you. You have a loving and loyal fanbase 🥰

Hannah_Wills

Love your story and here till the end ❤️ Webtoon would be nuts to drop you. MPL was the first comic I read on the app and still is the main reason I use it. Hope to one day hold a copy in my hands, so definitely look around! You have a fan base here that would love to and do support you. I think everyone one of us would want a copy 😂

Julia G

Excited to see how the story unfolds!!!!

Alana Correa

I joined Webtoon just for MPL! You get that new hair cut and feel yourself!

Terry Downward

We're here for you no matter what. Take the time you need, and take the space you need. MPL is amazing, and worth waiting for. And congrats on getting out of the freeze state! That's so hard to do and we are so proud of you! You're amazing and we love you always.

Linden

Love you Lily! I'm so sorry that you've felt that weight this entire time. I'm glad you're free. Ride or die till the end ❤️❤️❤️

Jessica Fulmer

I love you your work! I'm glad your taking time to balance your life. Don't let the pressures of the world take away from how you enjoy it. As a loyal fan I'm willing to wait for you to take the time you need. Enjoy to the new cut and I look forward to comic going forward.

Lily Gardner

i was waiting with bated breath for the next season! i’m just broke and can’t fast pass my way through this time LOL we’re still here!! 🖤

Carmen

MPL is my favorite Webtoon hands down. I honestly read quite a few but none of the other ones I read stick with me when I have finished reading their episode. With MPL I feel like I take the characters come home with me and they become part of my life in a way... and making your readers feel that type of engagement is a true gift. Also MPL was the reason I joined Patreon (you were the first creator I really wanted to support :-) ) so in my book that also talks about the quality of your work. So don't give up, you have a lot of readers and supporters that will be here for you!

sweetikae

I've been here since the beginning and I'm NOT LEAVING!!!!! MPL is one of my favorites!!! I'm your ride or die Lily. We got this! Fighting!!!

Jackie

I’ve been a fan since day 1 of MPL and I’m definitely not going anywhere. I love your creativity for the story. You never disappoint with each episode ☺️ thank you so much for making MPL and I can’t wait for anything else that’s in stored. 💜💜

Tilli

I am going to add my little comment to all the ones above: I don't comment much, but I admire your dedication, your attention to details and the way you depict REAL persons, with real struggles... as you are one of us, real people, with real struggles ☺️ Take care, we are rooting for you!

Jennifer Carrico

I did discover MPL while another story was on hiatus, and I LOVE it. You have loyal fans Lily, and the important thing is you take care of you. Thank you for including the story in your life and for being willing to share it

CaramelBombshell

Well im here till the end so im down for the ride. Glad you’re getting better each day.

Julianne McDorman

Not that you shouldn’t have taken your break, but I think that’s probably why it’s trending down. Your health is more important than any comic and us true fans know that and we’re the ones still supporting you! People will come back once they see it’s back and hopefully WEBTOON will promote it again!

Arty_Pants

I’ve been a fan since it was on canvas and will be a fan forever. I just started reading it through again last week and have yet to get to latest fast pass but I will! I love these characters and your art style! Glad you’re getting your groove back!

Sophie

Take care of you Lily, keep doing what you love. We're here for you and your amazing story ! 💕

Allett Lykins

I will always be along for the ride!

Life is beautiful

I love MPL since day one!!! I am such a big time fan I took the liberty of making Twitch Emotes of Tora. In my stream I promote the Fudge Out of Midnight Poppyland. 😆 🤣 😂 I set up a timer telling my viewers to go check out Midnight Poppyland. I love that you are finally getting the strength to move forward. You are amazing. Lilly I love you as much as I love MPL. Because of you, believe it or no, I have been able to get over some of my traumas through both of your Webtoons. SO thank you and if it ever comes to crossing that bridge you mention we will cross it together. ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ stay strong! So take all the time you need. We love you!!!!!!

JaxStarGazer

How liberating cutting your hair!! You go, Lily!! 🤜🏻🤛🏻 Here for the ride - and the sub plots and you enjoying YOUR story - until the end! Excited to see what’s coming. ♥️

Sapphire2292

I’ve been reading since MPL was on Discover (now Canvas) - I’ve enjoyed the story a lot and can’t wait to see everything come together 😊

Becks

I've been reading MPL since I discovered it and it's one of my favorites still! I can't wait to see where it goes!

Ricochet

Josie

Do you @lilydusk. Great art cant be rushed. If it means taking longer do your thing. Im just glad to have you back and in good mental health. People are assholes and always try to bully tbose that are giving them entertainment. Just enjoy the ride and be happy. See you on the otherside when you come back!!! 👋🏼✊🏼👊🏼

ChelseaRae Cloutier

I love you! Take care of yourself. I'm excited for the nooks. And the kissing scenes. But as they come.

Amber

I LOVE a new haircut 😏💗🙌🏾✨ run with the change baby!

emilyjean

Nothing better than the rejuvenation that comes with a fresh haircut!! Life has been busier lately but I’m reading MPL until the end 💜

kloxy

I haven't been reading MPL for a while now (this does not mean I love it any less! I'm still in love with the plot, the artwork and this community), but I have less time to sit down and read. But when I do get the time, I savour every panel! It's also exciting to read multiple chapters of your labour of love all in one go! I'm so happy you feel less pressured and are able to look after yourself! Stay healthy ❤️

Amanda Milliken

Loyal readers are here for ya no matter how much time you need to take. We’re loyal to you and your story. Flimsy readers will come and go. Your stats will come back up. MPL is honestly the most fantastically drawn, well-thought-out complex story I’ve ever read on here. And, while the pace may seem slow to some on a weekly basis, as a full story, any faster would be skipping the building of plot & characters. It’s perfect. It would be a bestseller fiction novel if you could put it to page (I’d totally be the first to volunteer to do it for you). There are so many stories on there that have their chance to run the full course that are, let’s face it, barely even fluff. If MPL were ever to be cut short while those others get their chance to find the end, I’ll throw my brand new desk my husband made me.

V. J. Villamayor

I've been a fan for ages and I think it's nice the loyal fans are sticking around. We're all for savouring the storyline, enjoying the art and dreamily ogling Tora 😅 I'm broke so I can't fast pass right now. I've stopped subscribing to other patrons for the moment but I'm 100% sticking around to support you 😊

ladylibris

MPL and you, dearest Lily, kept me centered and my world colorful during the darkest days of the pandemic. It introduced me to a community of strong, funny, dedicated women when communities everywhere were being frayed and separated - it was honestly magical! Enjoy the spring hair chop and take care of yourself - we’re still here and reading! 🩵

Allison

Absolutely here for this story and reading every week!! Love it!

Christina Jones

You are amazing and we would rather have a hiatus than you damaging your health (mental and physical). I think we all also agree that we love the depth of characters you write and love seeing each book and cranny evolve and blossom. You are such a wonderful writer. Don’t let the world get you down. We’re with you every step of the way.

Saucentric

I think that MPL is a really fantastic story with unique characters that Im always excited to learn more about. I'm the type of person who WANTS to see all the nooks and crannies of a story and characters. IDC how long it takes, I'll follow this story and these characters for the rest of my life. Do it at your pace, these are your BABIES. Tell their stories at your pace in the way that feels true to them. 💜

Mrs. Toledo

I'm so excited to see what you'll do with your creation!! I can't wait!

Layne K.Os

I've discovered MPL on webtoon about 2 weeks ago and I'm already on my 3rd reading, totally obsessed! Your work is really amazing, love the art, in love with the characters and the plot. I am totally supporting you and will speak to EVERYONE about MPL, now my fav 💜 Take care of yourself 🌸

Christy 🌸

MPL is one of my favorite webtoons i cant wait what happens in the furture with tora and poppy they are amazing and i hope you keep continuing it and i hope your mental and physical health is doing good if u have to go into hiatus again I completely understand ❤️

M

Good for you and I’m not going anywhere! Love the story, the art and the characters.

Dionne

I'm along for the ride. The story is a highlight that I look forward to. ❤

Milena

Thank you for continuing the story and for putting out such great content for us! I’m absolutely obsessed with the characters and plots that you’ve created. It’s one of my favorite WEBTOONs and it can only be that way if you’re in a good place. Please take the time when you need, we’ll always be here when you’re ready 😍❤️

Lee

The best art is something that comes from a soul unhindered by external expectations, someone who just fuckin does what they love most when *they* want. So very proud and excited for you to fly free and run MPL amok in whatever way you see fit!! Thank you for the ridiculous amount of work and dedication you always put in. It's inspiring to say the least.

Crystal

You’re amazing!

Lilith

MPL brought light to my life. I was feeling alone, in the pandemic and before the pandemic... But now, I feel connected, I feel comfortable, not only for the story itself, but for you as well, because you always show up to connect with us, tell a little bit about yourself and that makes everything even warmer, it's like we're close. You are amazing and deserve all the good in this world. Take care of yourself, we will always be here to support you and send love to you because you deserve it. Thank you for everything you do and for the affection. ♥

Blackdraumdancer

Looking forward to explore all those subplots, nooks and crannies with you. Take your time. You are amazing, and I thank you for sharing your story and art with us.

Moonlight_

Mpl is my favorite story, thank you lilydusk for your creative story telling and beautiful artwork, your mind has literally had a hand in bettering my quality of life. So 👏, thank you for 👏being 👏you👏‼️

Leslie

HELL YES. I’m proud of you. And it’s spooky to see your stuff tank (as someone experiencing her own 15 minutes of fame and realizing what a fucking TOLL it exacts from you). I hope these next chapters (literal and figurative) give you space to reconnect deeply with your storytelling voice and make the next steps clear as day for you. Looking forward to whatever you create 💞

BegoniaRex

I hope it doesn't sound patronizing to say I'm proud of you for taking care of yourself and prioritizing YOU over hitting some arbitrary readership number or stats. MPL is the only Webtoon I still Fast Pass, because I love it so much, and I'm happy you're taking time to rest and be in a good head space where you're excited to keep working on it. I'm excited to see where you're going to take us next in the story, and I'll be here for every single episode of it!

JRS

Always here to support your journey 🤍 Chopping off your hair seems satisfying — I’m definitely due for one!

Vanessa G

Would it possible for you to use another platform for MLP? Like Manta? I've been enjoying that platform more than Webtoons. Also, would you consider making MLP available as a physical book? I'd happily pay for a hardback copy of your work!! Alot of Webtoons are starting to publish physical books.

Nicole Vogt

Yeah, the masses become an insatiable black hole when they find something they like 🤮 I always love your personal updates - they're raw and relatable. Gutter nymph BARNACLE for life over here 🫡❤️

Please don’t go anywhere. MLP is my favorite across ALL of the platforms not just Webtoons. If webtoons isn’t treating you right maybe some place like Manta? Or you know if you want to give us a physical book I’d buy 10!copies

Remember to take care of yourself ❤️

I just saw a tiktok of a girl at a concert and instead of watching the concert she stopped and was reading the MPL update 🤣 The true fans are still here with you 🩷

Tina Olavarria

The people who love MPL will always be around and don’t worry we’re here for the long haul with ya 😘😘😘

Congratulations on the chopping of the locks...and your newfound sense of liberation! 🥰 Like so many others, MPL has brought a light to my life, for which I will be forever grateful. The beautiful and immensely thoughtful art, along with the witty and deeply moving story hooked me from the first episode, and every time I do a re-read, I love it even more. Onions ain't got nothin' on the layers you have going! 😏❤ I second...or third, or fourth, whatever...the notion that you have brought together this beautiful community, and in doing so, have helped many, myself included, who have not been particularly well on the mental front, and have managed to find something to look forward to, whether it be each week, month, or year. You've fueled the creative fire in many of us, inspiring us to find our own outlets. So a heartfelt thank you, Lilydusk, for all that you do, and the beautiful soul that you are. We're here for whatever twists and turns your road takes us! 🥰💖

I’m a ride or die fan. I’ve been obsessed (in a good day) with MLP since the beginning. I will be with you to the very end, which I hope is a VERY long time from now. Also, nothing like a new hair cut!! A fresh new start and chop off all of the bad vibes!

Sammi L.

Take as long as you need! Yourself first! The true fans will still be here supporting you!❤️

I started reading MPL a little late in the game (literally a month ago) but I powered through every episode in a couple days. I fell in love with the story and the characters so fast. You're such a talented artist and storyteller and I know I speak for a lot of people when I say I'm so excited to be on this journey with you!

Oh and PS…I’m on vacation right now, at the beach, sipping on pina colada’s and getting absolutely smashed. I yelled “Yas Queen” when I got this notification. I scared the shit out of the cabana boy and a stray seagull. So just be rest assured that no matter what, people drop everything for your updates whether it’s smut, real talk, or just whatever else you give us. We love you❤️

Megan Berger

It will get back up there! It’s an amazing story and you can’t help but get hooked!

Rachiebubbs

Admittedly I've been reading less on my phone and focusing more physical books again. Regardless, I look forward to my fridays---I end my work week and start enjoying my weekend with MPL. But, I understand what it's like when you need to break free for a bit. I would rather you unravel the story in an organic way, than to feel you need to unravel yourself. I can't wait for what you have in store. :)

Leo

will continue to read no matter what direction you take it! take your time and rest easy 💜 you've worked so hard

We’ll always be here and support you💖

Lily san, this was ominous and encouraging. How do you pull that off? Lol Legend has it that a woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life so cheers to you. As far as the stats, I've seen lulls and cliff drops on several shows I watch and they're all still going strong. Don't sweat the small stuff. You have a dedicated audience. And there are some loud people that won't be satisfied until MPL becomes a slice of life show with Tora half naked and flirty every single episode. I feel like the Webtoon platform is going down some. I have absolutely NO data to back this up, but as someone who reads fiftyleven shows on there, I've seen a big change in everyone's comment section. You will be fine. Mpl will be fine. We'll all be fine. Stay the course and don't fear.

Rose Bear Killer

Since the updates have started back up for MPL I am very excited for it. It's such a good story and have re-read it many times during the hiatus because I just can't get enough. I am also excited to see where you take us in the story in the future. I am so proud of you and your work 🥰

Sarah Hernandez

I know I have said this a probably a thousand times I first got into MPL when it was still new and out on Originals because I would always get ads of it everywhere on social media and the art work was so beautiful and one day I checked it out and I was so amazed and I've been a ride or die fan since. It really baffles me that Webtoon promotes the same stories and the stories that are also the most read don't get promoted like MPL or Purple Hyacinth. It also really amazes me that some readers think they're entitled to demand things from creators not knowing they to have a life outside of Webtoon or when they think creators don't read their comments in the comment section on Webtoon. If you leave Webtoon and take MPL somewhere else, I will be there! If ever made MPL into a book I would most definitely buy all the copies! And I'm so happy to hear that you're doing better but remember your mental and physical health comes first and if you ever need to take another break then you take that break and we'll all be here waiting for you, true fans wish the best for your we'll being and are not going anywhere🥰🥰💞💞 And horay for cutting your hair💁‍♀️

Sara McCarthy

Please make sure to take care of yourself and enjoy life! With the story, I do hope that “exploring subplots” doesn’t mean derailing the storyline just for the purpose of extending things.

hani

MPL is absolutely AMAZING never stop ! you have an awesome support system right behind you 🫶🏽

Courtney Spears

For what it’s worth, I saw a WEBTOON ad for MPL recently. I love the story and I am checking in every week on WEBTOON. I don’t know much about such things, but maybe it’s not as bad as you think? I do admit that I’m not really into the Ronald & Wendy story on here. It’s just not my thing, but it is still beautifully drawn.

Delphine de RUBEIS

sorry for my english i'm french and not very good in english writing. I had read again and again MPL and I already read PML now waint fort next episode ! I love so much this story, the characters, your way to write dialogs. So please, don't stop do your wonderfull work and treat me with Tora and poppy...i can't wait to read more :)

Mack

It’s always something to look forward to!! It’s like a little treat at the end of the week. I love when I see it- no matter how often it’s updated. ❤️ it’s fun to re-read and I’ll gladly do it over and over again until we see another episode! Much love x

You behave like an artist, the best kind of artist. One who understands that you are the work and if you sacrafice you then we have nothing. Honestly, I hate the wait but knowing you keep you sane and safe makes it worth while. This is more than art it is art on demand, it is putting pieces of yourself out for all to see and that shit is hard af. I make digital art for me. Ive sold 3 pieces and hated it...lol! Please do you and do you well. You are well worth the wait. Thank you for sharing💜

Hyena

We love you Lily and I for one am here for ALL!! of MPL! it's been one of my absolute favorite series and I've been following since 2020 so it's got a special place in my heart! I hope you feel the freedom to explore all story, subplots, etc and have fun just telling your story! I'm here for all of it!!! 🖤🖤🖤

My favorite manga/webtoon of all time.. I am a smut and romance reader at heart and its the only slow burn romance manga I've ever truly loved enough to stick with and not only that but it surpassed every fast romance I've ever read for the top spot in my heart.. maybe more romance would help the ratings.. we've all been waiting so long for less of this push and pull affection rate, not that the push and pull effect didn't add to the quality of the relationship but it's but time for some realization of true love❤️❤️ not trying to change or judge how you wanted things to unfold in the least bit because you and your writing is perfect.. just some more romance would help with that "clutching at straws" feeling a lot of us get when we want to see more lovey dovey scenes. My heart dropped when you mentioned webtoon dropping you.. please please don't leave this unfinished no matter what happens.. fuck them if they don't know your worth 💯 😌

Jazz_The_Writer

Much appreciated. Also I’m happy to be one of the few quiet readers who found you when MPL started. MPL has been my favorite webcomic and I’m always rereading it and Asuras Bride 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 sorry but you can’t get rid of me 🫠

Toni Baker

I will be here with my patronage until MPL comes back, and re Reading Asura's Bride as well❤️

Dear Lilydusk, I'm not an artistic creator but a creator nonetheless and I want to salute your courageous standing up for what feels right for you as a creator, and especially choosing to stick it to the shaming pressure of popular culture for honouring the integrity of your mental, emotional and physical flows, rhythms and cycles. It is so painful to see stats drop in response to authenticity to personal needs, I feel this so deeply as I have experienced the same during recent hard years. Our worth seems judged only based on things like "productivity" and "consistency" and it can be really dehumanising. Where is the compassion at? Well, I was just having a conversation with my child parts earlier today on something similar, and I had to practice re-parenting, and I had to lovingly tell them, "Look, honeys, the thing that matters the most at the end of the day, and our life, is you enjoy what you do. You gotta love it, otherwise what's the point of you doing all this?" We create because we want to bring forth what's in our hearts. It is beautiful, and sometimes, the beauty we bring forth can only be appreciated by a few and not a million. It's our work to shed the conditioning that tells us that only a million makes our work worthwhile, and to turn back towards what really called us to this work to begin with, and it's usually wonder, joy and love. I hope you continue to deepen your love for what you do, dear Lily-san, and that you find ever more strength in your love to feel deeply whole, beautiful and worthy in every way you are. Much support. ❤️✊🏼💪🏼

ladyguinevere

I fell in love with your comic during the pandemic and remember constantly re-checking Webtoon to see when your previous hiatus would end. The day I got the notification that MPL had returned, I literally screamed out of excitement! Taking breaks of course is important to not only physical health, but mental health as well. We'll still be here when you're ready to continue blessing us with your story 🖤

Monica

I feel like a lot of people forget that stories can't just be all action, there has to be actual story happening sometimes too. And sometimes that story takes some time to tell, even more since you're telling it with mostly pictures. It's a wonderful story so far and I can't wait to have more of it, when you're ready to write it. Health and happiness always come first! 🥰

Ms. CherryBlossom

I am extremely happy for you and I am here to say congratulations 🎉🎊🍾 🥂, you are more than worthy of it all. Struggles, difficulties, challenges we all go through them and it’s not easy at all but, we conquer them all. It’s amazing and so heartwarming to hear that you are flying now and feeling better. Know that I am a big fan of yours of your art work and I’ll be here continuously patronizing you because you are worth of it. I fell in love with MPL since the beginning and also with The Azurá Bride, with the whole story and artwork that they are my favorite ❤️ of all time and they have a very special place in my heart. I have read and reread them so many times and never get enough of it. So keep on going my dear Lily you have the whole world ahead of you. Sending you lots of love 💗 greetings from Texas 🇺🇸

Lenore

I’ve been with MPL since its Discovery/Canvas days and will continue to be here. Mental health and physical health should always come first. *hugs*

Laura Jones

Still my favorite webtoon, even with the breaks you had to take, and absolutely no hard feelings about that whatsoever (at least on my part)! 💖 Glad you are feeling better and feeling ready to get back into the story! I'll still be here to help offer what support I can as a patron and a fan!

Cbole

I’ve seen the impact that MPL has had on Webtoon. The amount of Tora-esq characters being all over Webtoon is a testimony to the appeal of your character and his style. It’s a beautiful story and we love it and we love you as a creator. We are happy to keep re-reading and are happy to be along for the ride. I think most of us hope the story won’t ever end. Keep up the good work. Much love ❤️

Ruth Angeles

I am so glad I have found MPL to binge-read during my last few days of vacation. And I never was tempted to become a patron until I saw MPL hahaha. I am so happy I did. Thank you Lily for just being you. Take care of yourself! As much as we want to have MPL updated we would love it even more if the brilliant person behind the series is well. Always choose yourself. We super love you! 🥰😍(^*^)

Fresca

I recently found MPL after reading blood reverie cause it was a background book in one of the panels! Have been binging this comic and it’s so amazing, I love it!!
