I loved reading this comic from start to finish. It was a masterpiece. I really enjoyed looking into the little slices of life between Sugar and Four. I hope their future is bright and full of happiness!

Omg

Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful comic!!!! I saw someone mention it on twitter last night and decided to give it a go out of boredom and immediately fell in love with these horny bug lads. In addition to it being very, very hot, I really appreciate the worldbuilding of the bee/ant societies, especially wrt gender. I'm not sure how to put it into words correctly (so pardon me if any of this comes off as weird or insulting β€” I promise I mean all of this in an overwhelmingly positive way), but because the society in the comic is matriarchal instead of patriarchal, this feels almost like a lesbian story, but with dicks, rather than a BL story (not that lesbians can't have dicks, but like. their dicks seemed like an integral part of their... male-ness, I guess? I'd say "masculinity," but the definition of masculinity as we know it in our society and the definition of masculinity in the world you created are very different. idk you know what i mean, hopefully. i see no difference love is love, etc). But at the same time, it wasn't like you just flipped men and women's roles and called it a day (ooh, what if *women* were the bad ones?? ever thought of that???), it was much more interesting than that. Like, there was definitely some mirrored version of gender in our world, but also a genuine extrapolation of observed insect behaviors (afaik, anyway. im not an entomologist) into a more intelligent, human-like society. Like, it was informed by how we do gender without necessarily falling into stereotypes and biases of how our society thinks men and women ""inherently"" are, and therefore how the more "dominant" gender should act. Going back to the whole "definition of masculinity thing," you created a definition of masculinity (and femininity) for your story that *is* separate from how it mostly is in our world, but is still recognizable as *a* masculinity (and *a* femininity). Ok I have no idea if that made any sense but the long and short of it is: gender. very cool. good job. wow.
And while of course the focus of the story was on our lovely boys, I do love the other characters you populated the world with. I didn't feel like I was being deprived of Four/Sugar moments when I was witnessing the care and understanding of Four's sisters, or the possessive fervor of the Autumn Princess. Not to mention Doctor Nine! She is so, so terrible and I absolutely fucking adore her.
Also: Men's tits. 😊🀀

Thank you so much for your kind kind words! πŸ˜­πŸ™πŸ’– I'm so glad the gender role ""reversal"" and exploration resonated with you, it's something I really enjoyed sinking my teeth into!! (fueled in no small part by my own frustration every time I would come across hive/colony bug societies in media depicting things ALL WRONG because they present it through the lens of Normal Human Society and I'm like NO STOP IT, LITERALLY ALL OF THE WORKERS AND SOLDIERS ARE FEMALE!!! MALES ARE JUST FOR SEX!!! AAAAAAAA)
cough anyway, thank you again for enjoying the story πŸ™πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–
Truth be told, there were some other facets of bug society and gender roles that I wish I'd taken the time to explore even deeper... but maybe that's something I can return to years from now, in another bug boy story.

PS: thank you for loving Doctor Nine as well, she's low key my favorite character in the whole story lmfao OOPS!!!

PPS: men's tits. strongly agree. 🀝🀝

Ok I just reread this whole thing bc it's that good but also I have a question I forgot to ask β€” Are the signs used in the comic based on any real sign language or did you make them up? I know enough ASL to know that it's not that, but obviously there are many other real-world sign languages it could be.

There are a couple of signs based loosely on ASL but for the most part they are invented whole cloth, much like the writing, because I wanted the visual expressions of language in the comic to reinforce its complete separation from modern human language.

Bees communicate in part by 'dance' so it makes sense

Oh man, I really sped through this comic in two days. It was such a treat, I'm glad they got their happy ending <3
Oh but it really does make the realization dawn on me, that when I start making comics, they're going to have to end too eventually T0T Nooooo it's already so bittersweet seeing this one end!!

HAHA yesss... parting is such sweet sorrow... but for me, I get excited too, because I have new ideas and projects waiting in the wings while I work on my current comics! While I was doing the last few dozen pages of Hive Heart, I was starting the pre-production for Eclipse... and when I get to the last act of Eclipse, I'll be doing pre-production of the comic that'll come after it 😈✨✨ I wish you the same feeling in your endeavors! 🀝🀝🀝
