Me seeing all of you reading Saturation and being surprised when you’re all surprised canon events happen like *even more surprised pikachu*

(mild spoilers for Saturation beyond chapter 43 at this point, read at your own discretion if you’re reading/planning to read Saturation and don’t want spoilers!)

Seriously, I wasn’t trying to be coy about the UR-1 arc, I did my best to set up warning flags - Sebbie talking about Simon and mentioning he had something he was working on, hints that time was passing, Zak showing up again way too early in the timeline, those were all meant to be flags to you guys that something was coming, that UR-1 was coming and something was about to go very wrong, because chapter 44 was me looking Capcom in the eye and going, “Oh honey, you did it wrong - this is how you break a man like Phoenix Wright.” It was meant to be unpleasant, yeah, if an event’s supposed to hurt in canon I’mma make it hurt, but not entirely out of left field!

And then we kept getting closer and closer to chapter 44 and I began to stare at my screen in dread going, “They... don’t seem to have noticed? They’re excited about Zak showing up? What? What?!? ...oh crap, I’m about to lose all my readers, aren’t I?” o_oU There is a special place in my heart for every single reader I have who reaches chapter 44 and chooses to trust me enough to read any further, and I mean that sincerely.

Also, looking back at the timing of when all this got posted, and I do not have words for how glad I am it went up when it did - one of my legit thoughts back in March was “Oh thank gods we’re past the Anwaltssadt arc, I would have hated to do that to my readers right now!” so glad that didn’t happen!

ALSO, here's your obligatory "You should write where your passion is and you never know what people may be interested in etc etc"

I think it sounds fun and honestly sometimes you just gotta try something for yourself and see what happens!

okay yeah fuck it i’m doing it here’s the start so you all can hold me accountable. also i had the genius idea to make this a series of short stories instead of a full length novel and then i illustrate it instead of having to do like a whole comic and this way i get to have a project to work on long-term that intersects my writing and my art and is better for my attention span than working on a comic would be. currently the plan for short stories is atalanta, clytemnestra, and callisto
