You don’t need to have a partner to be complete. You’re already whole.

💜🖤🤍 #AceCupid Update 💜🖤🤍

I want to say thank you to everyone who listened to my ramblings and talked to me about AC's script while it was in development. I'm happy to announce that it has finally been SUBMITTED!

I'm super nervous but my partner was insisting that I just put it out there

Alright, now we're going to be getting things done today!

The first thing on the list is doing another edit for #AceCupid 's script. I'm reading it over to make sure that it makes sense, dialogue isn't clunky, and the descriptions are on point. I don't wanna prolong sending it off much longer.

The last thing I need to do for #AceCupid is make sure the script itself is solid. I'll work on editing it and doing a read-over later on today. I'm still in shock that it's actually done.

#AceCupid Development (11/16)

I got a little distracted earlier, but the current fixes we're doing are:

(1) Spot-editing for typos.
(2) Changing dialogue lines.

Afternoon BlueSky,

I wanted to reiterate that the rough draft script of #AceCupid is done! Thank you to everyone who listened to my ramblings, and to my friends who took a moment to give me a writing space while reminding me of my needs (water, food, etc.).

The script is done! I could cry right now, honestly.

But I'm a little too tired for that so instead, I wanted to put out a call to anyone who would be willing to take a look at the script for #AceCupid and give edits, and what not?

I'd greatly appreciate it!

The closer I get to finishing the script for #AceCupid, the more I'm wondering whether any of this makes sense. It's a rough draft though and it demands to be finsihed - so I guess I have to listen to that feeling first.

So we're back to working on #AceCupid. We ended up leaving off on the first page. I was going to go back for the second but a lot of things happened beforehand. That being said, the second page is going to get into one of my favorite parts of the comic since we're amping things up a little.

🧵 about #AceCupid comic script dev (11/15)

Alright, let's get down to business!

I figured out what I wanted to do for the plotline and managed to dwindle it down somewhat to fit within the requirements for the anthology. Now, the biggest hurdle for every #writer has come - drafting.

Right now, I’m developing a comic script for #AceCupid, my submission to the Asexual and Aromantic Anthology.

So, #AceCupid fans,

I let the plot outline sit for a little bit and I'm not satisfied with it, so we're going to take it and refurbish it into something else. I somewhat want to push the boundaries with what I'm working on - technically this is already modern fantasy, but I want something more

Alright, the plot outline for #AceCupid is put together. Next is figuring out the dialogue. Then we'll be plugging it in with the exposition into the comic script.

Our deuteragonist for #AceCupid, Mx. Ace!

Ace was actually the first character to come to me, even before Monae. I wasn't sure what they looked like but with a little encouragement from @hopelessromantics.bsky.social, I figured out a lot about them.

An identification card with the colors for the lesbian flag, and a sticker for the asexual flag at the bottom right as well as a sticker for the nonbinary flag in a star on the top left. The picture for the identification card depicts a young black enby, dark-skinned and dark-haired with their hair half-pulled up in a curly ponytail. They wears a purple turtle-neck, and a black hoodie. They are looking away from the photographer, offering a lazy peace sign (v-sign) as a gesture. Their ears are pierced at the top, and they have a lobe piercing with decorative earrings in the shape of spirits. On the left side of their chest, they wear a nonbinary pin as well as two others. Beside is their information. First is their name, Ace. Underneath is their personal details. Their nickname is unknown, as they're referred primarily as Ace. Their gender is nonbinary, while their pronouns are they/she. Their age is unknown. Their nationality is unknown, while their species is Cupid. They are 5'2", and a relationship consultant with the title of Ace of Hearts. They love coffee, 90's Music, and dancing. While they dislike posturing, brussel sprouts, and holidays. Their hobbies are people-watching, urban Exploring, "garbage" collecting. An identification card with the colors for the lesbian flag, and a sticker for the lesbian flag at the top left. Underneath are additional facts about Mx. Ace. The facts read as follows: - The "Ace of Hearts" of the love-consultant app known as "Ace Cupid". A self-proclaimed expert of the heart believing in "talking dead" situations. Has a vested interest in their client's well-beings and does extensive research on them, but prefers to be "in the field" and learn things up close. - Dislikes the holidays because of the strain it puts on individuals to either behave differently or conform. Knows that isn't the case for everyone but usually spends her vacation time with "lonely" people, spreading holiday cheer. Claims to be on Santa's "forever-nice" list because of the built-up karma. - Is in favor of people finding their idea of love, and purposefully allows herself to "sync" with her current client to show the effect that love in all its forms have on a person.

Details on the main character of #AceCupid, Ms. Monae "Momo" Coffey!

She came to me at while I was listening to The Cab. The music inspired her favorite song-type which is Electronica! The song that she popped up in is Angel with a Shotgun.

An identification card with the colors for the lesbian flag, and a sticker for the asexual flag at the bottom right as well as a sticker with the transgender flag colors at the top left. Underneath are additional facts about Ms. Monae "Momo" Coffey. The facts read as follows: - She decided to register for the free trial of Ace Cupid to satisfy the people who were hampering on her to find a partner before the holdiays. Not particularly worried about the idea of "dying" alone, but is somewhat unnerved by how "important" a relationship is deemed. - She wants to find someone only so that it will lessen her parents' worries about her in the future, but doesn't believe that she should have to live her life being taken care of. Is hyper-independent in some ways but is slowly learning how to let other people help her. - She is skeptical of Ace and their abilities, but is grasping at straws to keep from "blowing up" at the next family function.

Thus far while seeing the two main characters interact - I wonder how their story will end. I love how characters tend to gravitate aimlessly but eventually they began to fall into each other's orbit.

So, #AceCupid is going to take place during Fall and with the tentative start/end - let's go!

The longer I think about it, the main character of #AceCupid is someone I’ve been wanting to write for awhile. Just the general feeling of being exhausted with the world and its perceptions while trying to maintain a semblance of social acceptance is hard for anyone.

Imagine if you were visited by one of the embodiments of love who told you that you were fine just the way you are. Also imagine that they came to you in the form of the person who you love most. And that person was someone you have no romantic feelings for.
