Elementals was done so dirty by its marketing. It's not a simple "Oh I'm fire you're water we're sooo different :(" it's actually a really really impactful story about an immigrant family and community, and the effects of watching your parents sacrifice so much for you to help you grow up.

I love Time and Time Again!! It was genuinely interesting to see two characters talk things out. Of course they kept secrets, but they knew when to reveal them and that made me want to stick around and read it. Thankyou for making such a wonderful comic!!
Thank you so much!!!
This really means a lot to me <3
I think there's generally a tendency to believe that relationships can't be nice in a romance or the story will be boring.
I understand where this idea comes from, stories should have conflict! And, real world relationships have conflict, as well. They always will! It makes sense that most stories centered around relationships would, inevitably, at some point, have disagreements, fights, anger...
I get why others enjoy it, its messy it's fun it's drama! but for me personally it just stresses me out since I've done so much work to NOT be like that!
As a writer, when presented with two people who are reasonably at odds with eachother, where neither of them is in the wrong per se, but someone still ends up hurt... it's a fun challenge to write them working through it in a believable way. it's a fun challenge, too, to put them into situations that feel equal and human.
I just think it's a necessary thing for who I am as a person to write relationships the way I do, and so I'm just very very very glad that other people resonate with it as well!
It means a lot. Thank you.

what i love about luffy is that he’s this goofy serious dude. he gets enraged on the behalf of other people and their dreams. he tells his opponent they have no business mocking another’s dream and he’s going to kick their ass (often for the sake of someone else) and he’s yelling in rage and going all out and after he does he starts laughing. he’s a complete goof and did you see how awesome that fight was? two seconds ago he was pure rubbery rage and now he can’t wait to feast.
