That's a cool idea to ask people! I actually subbed some comics from this thread, cause it made me interested to hear about their quintessence.

It's a political sci-fi comic and I think my message is to show that it might be impossible to have a perfect society, that you have to give up certain aspects of your life and beliefs and find compromises first to distribute more equality among the universe.

Hey, Im so glad to meet more people who want to anslyses those topics in a Story or webcomic!!! I guess is a pretty good way to understand other perspective of life and know how to help to others with their fight with themselfs

Hello everyone!

Thank for the opportunity!

So, my story's message is: Humans, love your planet and don't be assholes to the Nature!
On the other hand, if you do screw up and the lovely neighbors in Universe will arrive for the rescue, don't be fools and get yourself the most gorgeous and influental alien boyfriend! :heart_02:

scifi + romance + alienXhuman + future + slowburn + MPREG + lgbtq + tentacles + asexual characters

That trauma and your past don't define you and that love comes in many forms, including self-love. That justice is not always black and white. That it's okay to need help from others.

Hmm... For my novel, I guess the message is that you shouldn't blindly turn away from love due to past trauma and heartbreak, but use that experience you do have to search for someone who is right for you! And also to love yourself no matter what anyone else says about you! :blush:

The message I'm going for is kinda twofold.
The first is more personal; with all my main characters experiencing some form of self-loathing, I want to convey the importance of willpower to overcome our weakness and find self-worth.
The second is more political; the different factions starting with good intentions but losing themselves to greed, pacifism, anger and traditionalism, preventing them from confronting actual issues. Not really leaning in any real direction, but exploring the pros and cons of different ideologies and the importance of understanding and compromise.

Also, it's about teenagers punching dragons and werewolves with superpowers.
I think that's the main thing I'm shooting for.

I'm still in the early stages of the story, but hopefully, you can see hints of what I'll be exploring in future chapters.

The theme of Errant is Power.
The thesis is that nobody can gain power without either sacrifice or exploitation of others, and that people in positions of social privilege can participate in unjust systems that give them disproportionate power while thinking they're getting a fair share, and sometimes you have to give up things you want or you like having to truly make reparations and set the world right, even if it feels unfair.

On a more specific level, I wanted to address the concept of the "empowered ass-kicking female character" or "girlboss", and how white women are encouraged to gain power through patriarchal systems, and our success in those systems is framed as progressive and empowering, even if we allowed marginalised people to be exploited to get there and don't use our power to help anyone else succeed. Rekki got to be an awesome super-powered girlboss! ...But is being a girlboss in an oppressive, patriarchal, unsustainable system actually good? Is it even possible to have power and be ethical? And what happens when power is needed to set things right in the face of an overwhelmingly powerful opponent? Who can we truly trust with power?

Here's mine! Mine kinda has 2 messages, one for each the main characters. One hand has a character that needs to learn it's okay to forgive and move past things, and the other needs to learn that's it's also okay NOT to forgive things/people. In short I think it's about acceptance and caring about yourself. It's going to be a very long comic though so it may not be clear yet!

The world is cruel, because of people, so what if the artificial organisms will rule the world, would it be a beautiful world?

I'm mostly trying to write a fun adventure, but (hopefully without getting too didactic) a major underlying message is that humanity is tiny and insignificant and reality is terrifyingly uncertain and messy, but there is beauty and connection to be found in the vast uncertainty as well.

I would say the main messages of "Red Shift" are:

-you can't save everyone and not everyone gets to have a happy ending, even if you want them too
-the universe is more complex than a simple good vs. evil
-The oppressed will always find a way to rebel


Well... the value of the thi gs depending on the perspective of your mind.... but I guess your story could treat this topic with a very interesting way!!! Mine talk about something similar!! Hope we could enjoy both!!

my story asks a question instead of giving a message and that question is 'would you give up what you want most for the sake of your loved one?'

I still didn't released it and I'm doing beforehand promoting. Here is a link tat you can use to follow it, Girl in the Mirror's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPpMnN9cAu9levuR5FPdRnQ
