I don’t want to make a big deal outta this, even though it’s going to have a massive impact on how I proceed with the Aero comic from now on, but for both our sakes please be kind and respectful to both of us about it.

For the past couple of months I’ve been growing apart from Warden, one of my longtime friends and partner on the Aero-Replies blog, and while I wanted for us to just slowly drift off onto other opportunities when the blog is over I desperately couldn’t wait the remaining 1-2 years it will take to do so. Someone who was once my friend had become a stranger to me and continuing to work with them on the intimate level of creation (writing scripts, plot outlines,) had become toxic to me that can no longer manage even under professional terms.

I really don’t feel comfortable nor am I in a safe headspace to talk about details further than what I’ve described and probably never will beyond that point.

It’s neither of our faults this happened, friends grow apart, people change, and when you are a different people from when you were as friends it’s okay to split up if the chemistry no longer is there. It hurts, I’m hurting and so is Warden most likely and fans might be too but its something I need to do in order to continue to create and function as an artist.

Aero-Replies started as a just for fun blog that I had 0 intention and never saw it getting big as it is today. It was made back when Me and Warden were a couple, came back when we were friends, and must eventually have its end with only me at the helm.

So in the end, I’ve chosen to part ways with Warden so when you start to see less of the character himself it won’t come off as too much of a surprise. If you feel angry about my decision, you can feel that but must accept this as I’m not changing my mind. I need this change to happen for my own degrading mental healths sake.

Lastly, I’ll be closing my inboxes for a while to accept and deal with the effects of my decisions from here on out so please, give me room to breathe till I feel comfortable again to exist as an online presence.
