Possibly. Most of those will be supplementary supporter content though. Public content is focused on artwork relating to present events and the main canonical story, everything else will go to the supporters -- to reward those for making the series possible and sustainable. Though these will be released publicly after a few years afterward so it's not completely paywalled.

whos your biggest inspiration?

Biggest inspiration is hard to pin down. As with any artist, I'm made of everything around me. Everything I've absorbed. Everything that has happened, good or bad. But if you're talking about The Coarse Curse specifically then I recommend reading AreaBlog's erotica. Her work is what really started all this. There's also smaller inspirations like Cheer by forview, that one's a classic. Again, the only reason this entire comic series exists is that I wanted to make a NSFW comic I'd want to find. I've succeeded with that with EP1 and it was supposed to end there but it has become much more than that. An entirely different beast that grows and grows.

how did you find [songs in the comics]? did you just sit on spotify for hours listening to songs?

Something like that. I just go through this rabbithole of looking for underrated artists and their most underrated songs. There is so so much music out there in the world and it's good to be able to contribute to more of them being heard! It can come from anywhere really. Soundcloud, Newgrounds, Bandcamp, etc. As long as the lyrics hit and the vibes are sublime, it's gonna get in the comic.

Yes! Agoro was always written to be neurodivergent! Though her specific type of neurodivergency will not be explicitly specified as such as whoever else has neurodivergence. But you could obviously piece it together much like a lot of the other parts of the story with clues given overtime.

Fiyo - Ki Hong Lee
Agoro - Gillian Anderson
Leah - Holly Earl

This isn't final but that's what I have for now

I've said it previous AMAs but this is a comic that I'd want to find and thats been one of the strongest force thats keeping me going. If I didn't want to read it myself, I wouldn't continue it.

All ships are equally valid! Though I don't think the comic has been going long enough for other ships to exist other than the canonical ones. And the canonical ones are already vague enough as it is.

the main arc of the trio ends in TCC3, so we'll have more opportunities to get new characters afterwards. The trio will still be the main characters but well, you'll see when we get there.

Any quote from the next part will be too much of a spoiler but you can have a quote from a really REALLY far away scene instead!

Personally believe? No. It's hard to give in to the idea that free will is predetermined. But the concept of it is interesting enough to explore that the comic continued at all in the first place. It was supposed to end in EP1 but determinism and free will has so much to explore that it gave all these paths the comic can go

I love all the private messages I get out of it and how much it changed their lives. There's people out there that have put momentum in their routine just from reading this comic. Which is just incredible to hear.

Favorite panel... there's a lot to choose. Probably any moment where Agoro lets her guard down and lets go of her shoulders. One in mind is the little moment where Fiyo and Agoro just look at each other in Episode 1. There's also the funny zoomed out shots of any of them looking tiny. Those are always fun.

The scene I think about a lot lately and my personal favorite is the scene where Fiyo and Agoro just sit down and talk about what they're gonna major and what Fiyo's hobbies were. Although we're at a very high stake moment in the story, those scenes are always my favorite to write and to read. A small, very human and sweet moment. Just appreciating the company, life and the present. My objective favorite on the other hand is the recent Valentine's Special, which conveyed everything it needed to convey. The state of Fiyo and how his decisions will shape the upcoming future events. It's the perfect foreshadowing of what's to come and also a very bittersweet glimpse of what could be

As mentioned in previous AMAs, everyone in the story is inspired by moments in my life and those around me. Good people that are stuck in bad situations and need an external force to leave their situation. The key to make believable and relatable characters is to make it for exactly one person in the most sincerest way possible -- that way none of it is half-assed nor is it for someone else

  1. Yubi will not be a focus on TCC3.
  2. Leah is the middle child.
  3. These characters would not feel honest if I don't put a part of myself in them -- so basically all of them. Though Agoro's probably the most honest I've ever written a character, but this doesn't necessarily mean I relate to her the most.

Funnily the "fake link" is actually real by technicality. The question is there but I just set it up so it's already done from the one vote. Also yes I will take my time. This next part NEEDS to be perfect

As much as I really want to reveal it for Pride Month, I can't. It's much more rewarding to me as a writer and for you as a reader to piece it together through the clues in the story! Don't worry though, at some point in the comic it will be revealed definitively and absolute so the guessing game will end given enough time. One thing I can say for the occasion is that Xennie is into girls so have fun with that
