Vote over at TWC and you can see some thumbnails, including next week's which won't make any damn sense yay

The thing I've struggled the most with this chapter, or this section of this chapter at least, is not letting Malaya and crew win too easily. I think it's common in stories where you run into a conflict this big that the good guys just win and the consideration that the "bad" guys have way more skill is sort of tossed out the window. It's like watching Sailor Moon and every episode is a monster of the week situation, but that monster is defeated pretty easily and the bigger bad guys retreat to try another time with a different nutso scheme. To me, a good battle pushes the heroes to the brink and they keep going because there's too much to lose if they just give up.

May merch drop! New tote bags and hoodies are being added to the Hivemill store! (I may be the webcomic on Hiveworks who utilizes the merchandise the most, from what I've seen...hm.) The hoodies are unisex sizing, but the tshirts run rather fitted, so I recommend sizing up!  (Two of the moons are flipped on the product images, but the files the shirts are printed from are corrected, so you should have moons in the correct order. My bad!)

HTBAW Fandom Wiki is up and running! Thanks to Myk Streja and ShitaraRen for tons of help with moderation efforts and everyone else who's done a ton of work on adding information and filling out the Wiki. Thank you everyone for contributing and it's an amazing and super detailed resource!

Feel free to check out my goofy Amazon store if you're so inclined (this is an ad, as I get a tiny commission if you do buy something), or I have some merch up on Society6 if you're looking for my old store link! Thanks to everyone who's come out to support me through Ko-fi and Patreon!
