Just a message to say: I've removed the Satine Extra Chapter from Tapas.
Some of the comments left on it here were far, far too extreme and frankly, really made me feel hurt and misunderstood in the worst way. If you're wanting to read it, check out my Patreon at any tier level. No update for Thursday will be posted.

My apologies to folks who were touched by the Satine being trans reveal (it's something I like too) but folks uh, assuming I would include or post S.A. in a story without a content warning makes me feel... so... so bad. That isn't something I would do, and never have and never planned to do. I did everything I could to provide clear and open context and consent to these updates-- but it didn't seem to be enough.
And honestly, this isn't even the first time this has happened. My characters are often saying, "Yes" "Thank you" "I want this" but some folks seem to willfully put some kind of bad twist on it? I don't know what to do: especially when folks admit to me things like, "I wasn't paying that close attention" or "It's just another comic to me, I don't actually care" oof.

This chapter will not be returning in any form to Tapas, and I will also be removing a 4koma related to Satine. I may also consider turning off comments for certain updates.

Honestly, I'm just disappointed, frustrated and hurt. This is the first time I've ever had to do something like this. Sorry and thanks for your time.

Gosh I am so sorry people were weird about the Satine update!!! I love them so much I'm gonna save up a little so I can buy some of your stuff. I really love that they are trans, it makes my heart happy!!! People can suck a lot and I'm sorry this had to happen. (Sending my support from the midwest!)

Oh no problem at all! Thank you so much for replying to my comment. Especially considering all of the stress this drama has caused. I think a lot of people see sex one way, so when it's depicted in a way they've never thought of or experienced before, it completely throws them for a loop and they get defensive. It always worried me how hard you tried to explain that due to the missing content in the pages the overall context of the scene would seem off, and people still wouldn't listen. Some people are terrified to admit when they're wrong, and tend to double down even harder.

MerrieBird: It is reassuring to know that people like you are actually paying attention and reading my author's comment: so thank you! I totally agree that seeing a new type of sexual relationship can be really jarring for folks because of how society views sex, sexuality, and porn in general and I'm grateful most of my fans seem generally very chill though. I'm very lucky despite all of this, I really am!

I'm not sure if I missed this or not, but I'm sorry it hurt you so much. I think sometimes when people discuss their interpretations of content they kind of forget the author is a person, being vulnerable, putting out part of their internal world and hoping to be understood. And sometimes these things get so heated people aren't suggesting an interpretation, they're shouting that they are *right*. I can absolutely see how that would be hurtful and you'd do your best to avoid that when all other avenues you've tried to be clear about your ethics and censorship limitations have been exhausted.

DCS, I realize this is quite late. To me that chapter felt like body image/identity questioning, and searching for community, it was a little uncomfortable and painful, but Satine was not being physically harmed. It also felt like there was community and belonging that helped ease the pain, even a small bit. I think you’re a really great and brave author to allow your characters to feel so deeply and question so deeply. And it makes me happy how you work so hard to portray good communication and healthy relationships. Those few things aren’t well shown in the media. Your writing is so important and I wish that people who are to afraid to reflect on themselves wouldn’t hate on others so much. I wish I could give you a hug to cheer you up because you are so amazing and so is everyone else here. ❤️

Huh? What's this? A pile of goo? *GASP* A bunch of Baby Gummy came out! So soft, so cute, what a celebrity...

You can have one too, but be warned, we have less than 10 available-- so act quickly!

(Seriously though, this was an item I made for a friend, myself, + the crew, but decided to make some leftovers for folks who might like it. We don't have plans on remaking this item BUT if there is enough demand, we would consider bringing this back in some form or the other...)
