There's something I wanna say briefly because i'm aware a lot of readers might not pick up on it whatsoever (that's okay, it was written for the girls that get it, i'm not really in the buisness of making psa's).

The emotional core of ndawo stems from a heavily racialized place, a heavily black place. I draw a lot from my own experiences growing up in predominantly white spaces.

For example: The big thing I intend to tackle allegorically in book 1 (with Ness particularly) is how being the token minority can fuck with your brain and ability to form healthy relationships in the future.

I understand the big draw is the gay dogs but these gay dogs are also black gay dogs. I don't want that flying under the radar. I thought it best to just put that out here blatantly as the comic seems to be gaining more traction :]

#of course i'm obviously also fine with anyone resonating with these characters and their struggles #this isn't me saying you're not allowed to see yourself in my work just because I didn't make it with specifically you in mind #this litterally isn't a call to action to police anyone in any way with how they engage with my work #I just want who I made this story for to be on the record so y'all can keep that in mind going forward :]#ndawo

the horror of being "god's favourite princess". literally one of my favourite horror themes. the god loves you and it's so scary.

it will always choose you. you cannot die. you'll always come back because it loves you so much. you are its right and left hand, its eternal weapon. it will drown you in its light. light as horror. darkness as horror. what if it thinks you are its best friend.

you are god's favourite princess and it's terrifying.

this lamb keeps trying to sacrifice itself even though no one really needs or wants it to do that

We need more women characters who are Male Protagonists. You know. Slightly haggard. She's splashing cold water on her face and gripping the edge of the sink staring in the mirror for a minute. She's coping badly with her deadwife
