There is a rumor about a magical place, deep into the forest, that fills with water after it rains. They say only lovers can find it.

Morgane and Emily are probably my favourites, which, you know, lesbians and pirates, what more could you want. Could you tell more about your pirate gays, like random facts or headcanons or something?

Ahhh I love those messages so much. I can definitely tell you a bit more.

First of all, they aren’t lesbians! They are both pansexuals, and Emily is aro. She still cares deeply about people she’s close to (like you would a best friend or family), especially Morgane, but just… don’t want/need/feel romantic love in any way. She does like sex, tho. Neither of them is monogamous.

Morgane is terrible at sailing at the time she meets Emily, but way better at handling a sword and a gun than her. She’s also a really good cartographer. 

While Emily put their crew together and is the one knowing how to sail, she may appear to be the Captain of their ship, but Morgane is better at handling parleys and with human connections in general, making her as important and in-charge. Also the ship technically belongs to Morgane. They are both considered Captain by their crew, and they both learn a lot from each other.

Emily is a very tender person with people she likes/are vulnerable/helpless/in need, but nobody believes it because of her usual violent cruelness towards people she dislikes

Morgane was originally created as being from (”French”) Polynesia (the Ra'iātea island) , loving the ocean and being chosen by mermaids as Guardian of The Ocean’s Secrets (it’s an important plotpoint so I won’t get into that further). With Moana out now, I’m considering changing some things because the similarities bother me a lot. 

One of the Mermaids is in love with Morgane. Said Mermaid really hates Emily, and not because of jealousy.

An old crew member once made a comment about women not having a place on a ship (+ other crass suggestions) and was promptly thrown overboard and fed to sharks by Emily after she shot him in the nuts pointblank

They are both morally grey people. Doing lots of bad things for the right reasons.

Morgane’s name isn’t her real name. Also, she hates seafood.

As of now, Emily has 19 major and visible scars on her body. Both of them have tattoos.

That’s all I can think of right now, if I keep going I’ll just write you the novel of their adventures. But we’ll wait for the comic to be out for that!

Hi, I was just wondering, since I believe it was you who once mentioned an uncle being a druid (if not then my mistake), do your OCs have any religions that may come into play in the story? I really like them (especially Mona). Thank you for your time!

Hello! I do have a few druids left in my family and family friends, yes! No uncle tho. But you are right otherwise.

Maewenn & Elwenn (Medieval world) are Celtic and believe in the ways of the druids (do you say Druidism in English? Paganism? Polytheism?) and it does have a big impact on the story. Éloïse (WWII period) was raised a Christian but it doesn’t really impact anything other than her own story. Multiple people in her little Resistance group are Jewish, tho. Morgane (18th century) is Māori so her beliefs are those of the Māori people, it does impacts the story in some ways but nothing explicit. There’s so little books I could find on it that I don’t want to misrepresent anything, so I’m keeping it lowkey. (if anyone has websites or books they’d like to point me to on the subject, please do tell!)

As for the others, I either haven’t thought about it much yet or it just doesn’t impact the story in any way at all. Hope I answered your question!

Hey, I was just wondering if your comic is live. Is it going to be a webcomic or are you publishing it? Because I saw your Paetron commission and I want more queer pirate ladies. Please give me info about if/where I can read more :)

Hello! Posting your question publicly ‘cause I get this often!

My comic isn’t out yet, neither in physical book form or webcomic! It is planned for it to be published online (first) at some point during this year. I’ll talk about it non-stop so you won’t be able to miss it when it happens :)

Also, I’m taking the opportunity of this ask to say that I’m probably gonna revert back its title “Everett Was Right” to its old one, “Quantum Disaster”. Sorry to everyone who already started a tag!

I can't stop thinking about a tiny Maël building a Cardboard Rocket now x) How is your comic project going?

She definitely turned a cardboard box into a space ship and put a bucket on her head to go explore the universe at one point in her young life.

It’s going great, thank you for asking! 4 of the 8 backstories are being finished and tied together, the main plotline still needs work and I’m still changing, replacing or erasing some characters. Some details and timelines have to be polished, but I have the start and the end worked out; as well as a few main events in the middle :) I still need to decide how I can pace this story, what with it containing 4 individual stories and all. And so much historical and science-y research… It’s not easy having characters a hundredth time smarter and more cultured than you, haha. I’M GETTING THERE.
