Hi guys, so... I’m really sorry for giving up the comic for so long... a lot have happened, both really good things and awful stuff... I did an exhibition of my illustrations last week, in a pub near my city, and it’s gonna last one more week, which is also totes cool beans, but I also had some problems with the academy, a lot of stuff to study and to draw, I had less and less time to work on ASFW, I had some problems with my schoolmates (are they called like that even if we ain’t in high school anymore?)... I also started feeling outta place, everywhere, no matter where I was, I fought a lot with my family, I am broke af, y’know, the usual stuff, I guess it’s normal at my age... but I’m trying to get a hold of my self, pull myself together, live better, and I think that working on the comic might help with it. I wanna be positive bout this.

So, long story short... it ain’t been the best time of my life, at all, but I’m tryna be positive and I really want to get back at drawing the comic, even if I guess y’all can understand that it’s tough to draw a wholesome comic when wholesome stuff doesn’t happen... anywowo, yeah, just wanted to apologize and explain the hiatus, I hope I’ll be able to post the new episode asap, so bare with me ❤️
Cool beans, wish ya the best and see ya soon, cutiepies ❤️❤️ Thanks for waiting for me ❤️

vent as much as you want, and don't force yourself to do the comic when your energy is being depleted by life, classmates being assholes is sadly a common occurrence even in university, hopefully you will be able to find a little group that gets you and things with family and money start to look up, congrats on your expo, and thank you for keep us posted, be good to yourself, take all the time you need and good luck ^^

Heya, not dead, just overwhelmed by academic stuff. But I'm working on the next comic, I swear, I'm halfway through.

Cheers ❤️

Omg, you're alive ❤️!!! I really understand what it's like trying to deal with tons of academic stuff + life and hobbies... it's been almost a year I'm telling myself I'll be back practice drawing but it's hard to find time and energy (at the same time) to do so. Don't worry, take your time, and as was said before we'll be here when you get back. Good luck and take care.

Hi folks~❤️ I know that a lot of people don't use the pc version, so Imma post a "comic" bout it asap but I'm getting outta the hiatus and was wondering if doing a Q&A would be a nice idea to start things off!
If so, please, start asking questions right away under this post and the next comic (when I'll upload it), and I'll answer all of them in the next one!

If you think that it would not be interesting tho, feel free to let me know, it can be done another time, np at all ^^ Bye bye~ ❤️

It's okay! ❤️ We will be here when you get back! And I know the suffering of laptop issues >< my own has this wonderful issue of the keyboard completely stopping working at random times and the only fix is to restart the computer.... And I can't say it's an age issue since the laptop is only 6 months old... =.=

Hey guys, I'm here to apologize.

I know that I've been on a hiatus since I went to NY, but there's a reason: it's not really a pause I decided to take, but more one I was forced to have.
Basically, both my Ctrl keys have been acting up a LOT lately, barely to no working at all, which pissed me off a lot and made drawing digitally a real suffering (you really don't appreciate the Ctrl key till you lose it, trust me).

Nevertheless, I feel like I let you all down, and I really feel the urge to apologize to y'all.
I'm sorry guys, I really am.

The Ctrl problem is still a thing, tho, and I have no idea when it will be solved (as far as I know, it's a problem that almost every person who has a Lenovo with Windows as the OS is having, so I don't really know what to do except waiting for a patch or something), but a good friend of mine is willing to borrow me her graphic tablet (which has some keys to the side, unlike mine) so I should be able to finish the comic and get back to a pseudo-regular schedule, or at least I hope so.

So, again, I'm really, really sorry, and I hope you'll understand that it wasn't intentional... see you in the next comic, bubs, love you all ❤️

Since someone asked me, I decided to make a playlist of all the songs that my bud and I usually listen to while driving or chilling

BEWARE: it's random. Like, really.

Hi everyone! ❤
Just wanted to apologize for last week's comic: both my Ctrl keys have been acting up lately, making drawing digitally both hard (need me my ctrl+z) and frustrating.
Eventually, I somehow managed to finish the comic on Saturday night, just to find out that the file of one of the pages was corrupted (and thus lost forever)... it has been a quite hard week, to say the least. But ya, I'm currently working on the deleted page, and I will prolly upload the thing today, and hopefully get back to the normal schedule!

Sorry again! >-<

Hey guys! ❤❤

As I announced on my instagram, I have some news!

First of all, I wanted to apologize to all those who subscribed to ASFW in the last two days: I usually post a lil drawing on my subs' wall to thank them, but you were so many (almost 200 in less than 2 days!) that I didn't really have the time to thank you all ;//^//; I promise I will do it asap!

Now, a new semester started and I will prolly have to do a lot of stuff soon enough, but until those days, I was thinking to upload two comics a week instead of one, starting from this week (I already have one ready for this Saturday, if I'll finish the second one in time, I'll post one Friday too)! ❤

Also, I was thinking to start using the Tapas' "Tipping" thingy, because it would make it easier for me to concentrate more on the comic and less about being a broke student x'

No ok, just kidding, but I really find it a cute and nice way to tell artists that you like and support what they do (and you can do it for free, too, which is also pretty neato)!

So, that's all for now, thank you all again for the support you are giving me, I really appreciate it (and my bud does too)! ❤
