Are we ever gonna get any updates about BOTSE?

I've been meaning to…sorta. But I have been struggling with how to tackle it cause if I'm being real, BotSE is in like a weird limbo right now.

The reality is the comic has been put into an unofficial hiatus. I just have not been working on it since the last update, Which was over a year ago. I don't want to say the comic is like officially cancelled for dropped, I’m not confident in saying that it is, but there are a lot of reasons why I have not worked on it.

One reason is just adult life, I don't really have the energy or motivation to make around 5 or 6 fully colored comic pages every two weeks like I did when I was in high school. I've also just become increasingly unconfident in my writing skills. I don't really know what I'm trying to say with BotSE and that really frustrates me. I feel like it strays too far away from the actual source material- both intentionally and unintentionally, And I don't feel like the writing property portrays which is which.

There are a lot of things I really like about BotSE thought which is why I'm not certainly canning it. I like writing a crime syndate action drama, I like a lot of my characters, and working hard on pages then seeing them done all together is very satifying, But there are a lot of core problems with it that I just am not motivated enough to fix on top of my other projects. And it takes a lot of confidence and passion to work on that comic as much as I did.

I have thought about starting other comics on a smaller scale, though still not that confident in my writing so its up in the air if il follow through with them. I do have my two other story focused (sort of) blogs, Brichbam’s ask blog and my Snaxcurity Breach blog, which I’m more confident and have more fun sharing a story in those. I hope y'all are giving those blogs some love in the mean time (even though I haven't updated Snaxcurity Breach in one Orbillion years lol)

Anyway I think those are basically all my thoughts sorry if this is a big ass post, and sorry for being really quiet about the status of BotSE. I know a lot of you really enjoy the comic and want to know what is up with it. If any if you have questions let me know!

Ngl I'm feeling bad for taking such a long break away from BotSE. I haven't been feeling the main comic story lately but I really want to expand on other parts of the universe- like Wambus and Gyiel growing up in the Triplicate more. But also I really want to make comics again. world is a fuck

I haven't even like...gotten into the meat of the comic yet. Which kinda sucks that I'm starting to lose steam, I did too much set up I think with the first three chapters. I'm also just starting to lose confidence in the quality of my main story.

THIS ISN'T ME SAYING IM ABONDONING BOTSE btw. I really don't want to, I'm just in a bit of a writing slump right now with it

Sorry for being so slow with this BotSE update. Stuff keeps getting in the way unfortunately
