Right!? Also, give it a watch, it's complete with 3 seasons, but the queer romance was mostly removed because China's censorship. It's a fun show and I think you'll like the characters too 😁

It's dual PoV, you follow Julio, my Puerto Rican character who's a hairstylist by day and a hunter by night, and Aster, my bookish anime nerd who works at a bookstore while being a cosplayer. I had a blast writing this story and I can't wait for you all to read it next year.

Artist! Quote with your most cursed artwork. This guy's probably up there on the cursed list

A bone-thin formerly-human creature lurching forward threateningly with bits of bone jutting out from warped flesh. Flesh has grown over the eyes, sealing them shut. Jagged teeth stick out from the gums. Blood runs from the mouth and eyes and ear canal.

And the same goes for indie films! Indie shows! Indie music and indie books!! Indie projects don't have huge marketing budgets to push them into the public eye. They depend on word of mouth and the people who can putting their money where that mouth is!
