a little about me
HELLO i'm asa!! i'm a writer who has been basically learning how to draw full-time for the last 4+ months. while the art skill is a still a bit of a WIP (not that it never stops being one), i have a screenwriting/film and UX design background that, thankfully, majorly helps with my transition into comics.
i identify as queer (ace specifically) and i am neurodivergent (ADHD!!! heyo!!). writing BL allows me to explore romance and emotional expression that isn't filtered through the lens of heteronormativity and gender dynamics that carry baggage. plus 2D men hot!!!
also, i am taiwanese/american/british, and while it maybe feels random that i'm telling you this.... it's because i write in a way that mirrors my experience of being a culturally-confused individual. you've been warned. <3
what i write about
while i do write about a number of things as a writer, i'd say i primarily focus on character-driven BL that is chaotic and emotionally raw, yet funny, intimate and you know what.... sometimes sexy!!! also very neurodivergent!
because my first love was writing screenplays, all of my works are very dialogue-forward. my characters love to bicker, and posture, and play semantics warfare with each other. if you like people saying insane things to each other bc they don't know how to say it in any other way..... you've come to the right place. (*ᵕᴗᵕ)⁾⁾
upcoming work
i have a few series already planned in various stages. some have actual scripts and character designs ready, while others have detailed outlines or simply just vibes if i'm being honest!!
serialisation-ready:
"chair?" – my current WIP about an accidental text from a wrong number and making bad decisions late at night bc work sucks.
most of my BTS and progress updates will be focused on in the next few months. hoping to release this by summer wish me luck xx
"twelve minutes" – limited series – a guy's peaceful daily walk to school is disrupted when the most popular guy in school moves in next door, and they're both super Not Normal about it.
future planned works:
"if i say, i like you" – 18+ full-length series – fake dating-ish but it's between two loud idiots loudly yearning for each other but being earnest about THAT SPECIFICALLY would be far too embarrassing!! it's my magnum opus cannot WAIT to work on this
"first" – 18+ limited series – it's a crack concept tbf that parodies the "office rivals to lovers" trope and it was a throwaway idea i'm very keen to actually turn into a real comic lmao
THANK YOU FOR READING!!
i'll try to post BTS content like WIPs and sketches regularly, and release a monthly creator log so you can see what flavour of crashout i experienced in those four weeks. <3
