Oh hey a wild tag! I legitimately never get tagged in things ahaha, so thanks for including me <3 (and thanks for reading my silly little comic!)

I read...a LOT of wildly different webtoons, so here's a few varying degrees of new launches that I followed on Canvas that I'm excited to see on Originals! In no particular order:

Plus One

A Spell for a Smith

Bailin and Li Yun

Love 4 a Walk

High Spirits Neoma

I genuinely have no one to tag lmao, but anyone can feel free to reblog to add to the chain!

hiiiii Lee if you get this list your top 5 wrbtoon (doesn't have to be in order) tag some mutuals/followers, and keep reblogging!!

hi anon

no particular order:

School Bus Graveyard

Nevermore

My Reason to Die

Operation: True Love

I'm The Grim Reaper

no pressure tags: @aceof-2510, @niredsw, @lanirawhoney, @shuutingstar, @ash375, @utterlybrainwrecked, @hereforthen

#replies #would also shout out Our Walk Home and I Am The Villain as part of that same category of picked up from Canvas!#I could do an entirely separate list of just oops-I-got-reincarnated-as-a-villain/side-character webtoons alone lmao

I've been following My Brother's (Not So) Secret Boyfriend for a while but I just read Something Borrowed, Something New and LOVED it. Heartwarming stories about parenting always, always hit for me and everything about it was so touching.

I wanted to ask if you had any inspirations for the plot, and if you have any recommendations for webcomics with similar themes (whether on webtoon or not).

Love your art! <3

Ohh, thank you so much!! It always makes me really happy when folks happen to find that little comic, it was a lot of fun to make 😊 I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!

Honestly, the biggest source of inspiration was the characters themselves, because SBSN is technically an AU for a set of OCs that have lived in my brain since I was in high school :') so a lot of it is a result of me constantly remixing their relationships and circumstances in my head, because I love creating "What If" scenarios for my characters ahaha. Aside from that, though, I like going into stories with a certain type of dynamic I want to explore! In this case, it was the idea that different people can end up with different relationships to their parents/families despite sharing similar experiences to one another, plus the question of how to draw the line of your own personal boundaries in the face of knowing your actions affect more people beyond just yourself. From there, it was a matter of taking those old comfort OCs and having fun!

Hmmmmm, as for recommendations—Lemon Soda & Coffee is a very sweet (completed!) Webtoon that I think is probably the closest series I've come across in having a similarly themed plot to SBSN. Yotsuba&! is also an excellent comedy manga featuring a very charming father-daughter duo! I wouldn't necessarily call it similar to SBSN, but I also adore SpyxFamily, in particular for its development of Loid and Yor's parenting skills for Anya 😂 Oh, and Plus One recently made its debut as a Webtoons Original! It's almost all baby fluff, so if nothing else I feel like it can fill in the gaps in SBSN that I quietly skipped over when it comes to the actual getting-ready-to-raise-a-baby bits in real life ahahaha Thanks again!!! 💕

#inn-witch #replies #I hope you don't mind me answering this publicly!#usually I keep my replies private but I thought others might be able to share more recommendations since I feel like I didn't have a lot :'

They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

#sigh..........

CUTE!!! (I promise one day they won't be cowards lmao alskf)

IMMENTALLYSANEIMMENTAYSANEIMMENTALLYSANE

ok so maybe i have brainrot (is this new?)

I’ve been struggling with imposter syndrome lately and due to that had giant artblock. But I sat down and just… read the entirety of @overlymetaromantic ‘s My Brother’s Not-So-Secret Boyfriend and had such a hit of inspiration I just had to draw my favorite panels. And what do you know. IT HELPED

Augh this is such a good series I love Karin so much and I am eagerly awaiting the day Maki and Kaito decide to not be cowards and face their feelings The original panels under the cut

#I love the panels you chose they're some of my faves as well lolol #and your art style makes all of their hair so fluffy! especially Maki's!!#I'm so glad these helped your art block that's awesome :D #my brothers not so secret boyfriend #mbnssb

I will admit, I am currently anime-only for Dungeon Meshi at the moment, but this is the broad impression of Kabru that I've gotten from the fandom so far, and I have to say, I am very much looking forward to this man's anguish and mental suffering ✨

#dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #dunmeshi #laios touden #kabru #mithrun #are there ship names for these. should I be tagging ships??#fanart #it's been so long #also idk if any of this counts as spoilers I don't actually know that much about Mithrun in particular lol #anyway excellent show so far!#the manga's praise is clearly well earned I love how much people love it #let's pretend I can draw #don't mind me posting at midnight we'll see if anyone sees this lol

I was very kindly asked about reference sheets for my comic's characters, which until that moment did not exist, but thanks to them asking now they do!!! I figured I may as well share what I made for them publicly as well, so please feel free to do whatever you want to with these details 👀 (+more character details below the cut!)

Karin: Highly self-assured with high self-confidence. As a default, she tends to assume she’s right about things, because the odds have almost always been in her favor—even when she’s wrong, she’s usually still picked up on some element of the truth. She’s a deeply empathetic person, but isn’t necessarily aware of just how affected she is by other people’s emotional states. All of this combined defines both her biggest strengths—her confidence and ability to push things forward—and her biggest weaknesses—her impulsivity and self-righteousness.

Kaito: Very much pulling from the straight-laced, rule-obsessed, class president type, but with several little subversions to the archetype that might be surprising. The only person he really holds to high standards is himself, with his core internal conflict being based around him feeling like he has a naturally self-indulgent nature while simultaneously being driven by a need to earn the right to actually indulge in the things he likes. Overthinks due to anxiety. Amongst the nerds, he's secretly considered kind of terrifying for how he's capable of going toe-to-toe with delinquents.

Maki: While he is capable of Crimes, Maki is arguably a delinquent in name only lol. In my mind, he's very Shonen Protagonist-adjacent, i.e., he has a bright sort of energy about him that just makes people like him immediately regardless of anything else that's going on. He'd be the student that's always getting in trouble but is also the teacher's obvious favorite. He's surprisingly (and concerningly) good at holding back on his feelings—in general, the more he cares about something (or someone), the harder a time he has with speaking up about his wants, out of the fear that it might change things for the worse rather than maintaining them as they are.

#I can't believe I told people they could send me fanart and then they actually sent me fanart!!!!!#I feel so powerful #I. do not know. how to tag this. at all #original stuff #let's pretend i can draw #my brother's not so secret boyfriend #mbnssb #SERIOUSLY THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO MADE ART I LOVE U #HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY #webtoon #reference
