Just wanted to say that I am obsessed w the designs of Hito's alters. Particularly the ones that draw upon designs of other characters like Hoshi. But they're all still Hitoshi, just with different features or outfirs. Makes the brain go brrrrr

They definitely draw on other people that have influenced Hito's mindset- Eclipse and Hoshi are heavily based around Aoi and Nori, and Sherri is partially a fictive of Donna Sheridan from Mamma Mia. They are uniquely themselves, and comprised of other people, and ultimately parts of Hito, and all these things coexist.

Love the new designs for Tower and Kirstynne! Does Kirstynne still use she/her or have their pronouns changed?

Undecided! For now, just keep using Kirstynne and she/her- we'll see what she has to say about herself in the future!

Hi! I was curious who Keito is and how they fit into your stories? I scrolled through their tag but a lot of the stuff there is old, so I don't know what's still "canon" or has changed over the years.

Really good question and one I'm still figuring out myself. For now, he's a twelve year old living with the adult Labana and Chiyoko that really really wants to be a superhero. He's in Ko's class when it finally gets enrolled in school post-GUTG, and the two make friends. That's all she (me) wrote for now.

You mentioned Akiko meeting Josh & Sera, but do they ever meet Ven? Do you think the two of them would get along?

They'd be meeting fleetingly, since Ven is actively battling their agoraphobia, but the two WOULD get along surprisingly well. Akiko's a snarky little shit and Ven's defensively aggressive, they'd make fun of people together as a bonding activity.

Does Ven's hair turn white in Act 3 as a side effect of their bellementum powers? Or is it for an unrelated reason?

Yep! If you've got enough bellementum blood to have powers, your hair turns white when you first awaken it.

Ok I know that Yukiko's backstory is quite literally still under maintenance so it's ok if you don't have a solid answer, but I'm just curious, how do they fit into the Sasaki family tree?

Short answer: they don't!

LONG answer: I went "if Hito never existed, Aoi and Jester would have the most toxic nightmare fucked up relationship possible" and then went "ah fuck, they'd have a kid, wouldn't they" and. oops. Got attached to said hypothetical kid. By TECHNICALITY, Yukiko is Aoi and Jester's son from another universe, and is still Jester's son in this one, but Anon is trying to decide whether to even give Yuki a mom or if it's relevant.

Worst Case Scenario is SO good omg. Hitoshi defaulting to a trauma response while talking to his child, one of the people he loves most in the world aghhhhhhhhh. Can I ask, at about the middle point in the comic we see a table laying on the floor. Did. Did akiko flip a table?? Sorry if this was answered in the comic and I didn't notice, but it just stuck out to me

Yes they did! They kicked the coffee table over while having a breakdown over being told their mom abused them. You can see broken stuff like mugs and photo frames on the floor, too.
