hey man I don’t personally pay for new episodes of Steven universe either but if the show doubled it’s hiatus and then came out with an episode that was mainly a flashback and half the length of a regular episode id complain about that too. N makes thousands off patreon and has a book deal this comic is literally her job.

knightduan:

again……..ngozi has been v transparent with everyone about why the hiatus has been longer than usual, this is not information that came out of the blue and she even told everyone ahead of time that this would be a short update. also in the notes of said update she said that check please would be updating on mondays…….so it’s not like you have no idea when you’re gonna get new content again. also i’m sorry if you didn’t like the content of the update but like?? idk what 2 tell u my guy, there are episodes of my favorite shows i don’t like either that’s just life !

but sincerely i don’t know what the fuck you guys are imagining about what ngozi does on hiatus that “this is literally her job” is one of the most common arguments against her??? she isn’t laying out in a bed made out of stacks of all the money she makes from us, sipping $1000 champagne out of a crystal glass and cackling about how she bamboozled us out of $5 a month. she is uhhhhh working the entire time? i have maybe heard her twice mention in the past few years where she took time away from herself that wasn’t a holiday. also lets bear in mind that she isn’t doing this by herself anymore, there are people she’s paying (her manager george, johel who does her flats now, and she doesn’t get into every single convention for free either!!!) on top of the fact that yes! she has a book deal! which also means she’s no longer only answering to herself, and has more than one singular focus like literally every other person in her industry

but going back to the transparency. she told us she waited so long this time so that she could have a backlog of comics to, like i said in my reply on my post, keep a steadier update schedule bc – again, like i said – she has a lot going on this year, and that would have created gaps between batch updates that ppl would have inevitably complained abt like they always do

ngozi is by no means a perfect content creator but the coffee straws you guys grasp at when you complain about these things is frankly just embarrassing for you and infuriating to those who recognize how hard she actually works to make all of us happy. i’ve never in my life felt more seen and heard by a content creator than i have with ngozi and it really is unfortunate that this isn’t the case for you
