When someone assumes you're gay in the early '80s...

So Long Hair just assumed Short Hair was gay, and Short Hair does NOT take it well! Is it because the assumption is true and he’s scared AF? Or is Short Hair just being homophobic? Context: the scene takes place in the early eighties.

This is a flashback from my BL sports romance, Play - Love Means Nothing. Yes, I know telling you this is a BL Webtoon might seem like an easy answer to the questions above, but the BL elements focus on the main storyline, which is set in the present. The past is a mystery full of secrets that will be uncovered as the story progresses.

Webtoon cares less and less about Canvas: now they’re promoting Originals in the Canvas section!

I’ve been seeing a lot of Canvas authors here and there complaining about major drops in views and subs, and I’ve experienced some kind of drop too.

So today I checked the “Readers Also Like” section under my own webtoon, and I noticed something: six titles out of nine are Originals! And I’m seeing a very similar pattern under basically every Canvas comic I read.

This is honestly not cool AT ALL, and incredibly discouraging as an author. We already struggle enough trying to promote ourselves, and now the platform seems to have decided to take away precious space that has always been dedicated to Canvas, just to push their precious Originals under our noses. Thank you very much!

I really hope enough Canvas authors speak up about this and they go back to promoting only Canvas titles in the Canvas section. Because right now, it feels like a very greedy move on their part.

I don’t know if it’s a good idea to spend so long on a single panel that readers will swipe through in a few seconds, but I love my work too much and I couldn’t have done it any other way. It’s the only colored panel among black-and-white ones, and it’s meant to express the emotions of an ’80s kid listening to music on a Walkman for the first time in his life.

If you’d like to take a look at my story, it’s a BL sports romance called Play - Love Means Nothing, and this is the drawing style I use in my flashback scenes.
