Happy birthday, hurray hurray!
Saudade is... complicated hahaha the story is almost... 14 years old! It started as a fanfiction when I was a teenager, then I changed it to become an original novel. I used to post it on small brasilian websites as I just wrote in portuguese. Than I stoped writing for a while, but I never stoped thinking about my kids..
In 2020 I thought of making a webcomic and there they were, my boys, waiting for me to tell their story again, in a new light. I changed a lot of the plot as I matured a lot, but their interactions kept almost the same. And I'm posting it on tapas since may 2020, just as passionate as I was as a teenager! I just love my boys, I love to tell their stories, I like my storytelling in general and re-reading everything recentrly, I couldn't think of a thing I'd change (other than re-drawing some things and maybe make it not so slow-paced). Obviously, I'm not perfect, my story is not perfect, but is what I can do and I'm proud of it. It hurts my heart sometimes that not so many people see the story I'm trying to tell (but it is my fault, as I dont know how to promote those things lol), but I keep working on it with love. Every page of scrip I write is a piece of hapinness for me, every page I finish is heaven hahahaha I just love this project with all my heart and it's everything to me.
I'm sorry for the wall of text, I'm that in love with my own work, you can bully me now hahahahaha but it's 14 years with it, it's the project of my life in a way xD I doubt anyone'll read everything but in anycase here's the link if you're curious after that xD
