The Banana Legion (new tier lol)
EDIT: Sorry to cause any confusion, guys! I've re-structured the tier to be (hopefully) clearer, and fair to existing Patrons. Do bear in mind that this is a BETA-version tier (remember the Fast Pass tier panic, anyone?) Nothing is confirmed yet, and I'm still testing the waters with this one. As of now, there are literally no posts in this tier, so you haven't missed out on anything at all.
First off, everyone in their respective tiers will not be losing any major existing content. So don't worry, guys. All Patrons will continue to receive:
Updates and announcements as always.
I will only be moving *exclusive* Patreon announcements to the new tier to ensure its exclusivity. These are things like personal updates from me, which are of a more private and sensitive nature, and highly-sensitive information I don't want to be leaked anywhere else. They also only occur several times a year, if at all.
"Behind-The-Scenes" posts as always.
Anything in the new tier will be extra ones, and only when available, which will not be often at all.
Next, just to be clear, this is a new tier, not a 'Donations Only' tier. So there will be rewards in here, just like any other tier. The difference is, the rewards will be free-and-easy for me, and done sporadically and irregularly, and Patrons who join this tier should be fine with this.
Anyway, I've re-worded this to hopefully be less panic-inducing, so please refer to the description below again...

Dear Patrons, just a quick announcement before the month ends.
I’m testing out a new $10 tier - The Banana Legion (don’t ask). After over 2 years of having only a $1 and $5 tier, I figured it’s time for a “Love and Support Only” donation-type tier. It’s also a “I’m here with no expectations” tier, so make sure you’re okay with irregular updates, irreverent comments and general dicking around.
Everything else, including NSFW, sneak preview posts, behind-the-scenes posts, and regular announcements and updates, will remain unchanged. If you’re here for the naughty stuff, rest assured that you will receive 100% of the NSFW goodies, so you can stay put and won’t miss out on anything. However, I’ll be including:-
Extra behind-the-scenes posts, and...
Exclusive Patreon-only announcements, such as personal life-updates and sensitive information
…in the new tier. And post random stuff, occasionally.
This tier is in BETA version for now, just to gauge the response. My priority will always be on content creation, so depending on my workload, I might eventually decide to leave it open or shut it down. Again, guys, this is purely a “love and support only” tier, so please be sure you are there with no expectations. There are also no posts available at the moment, and it’s more of a ‘donation’ kinda thing.
Lastly, I appreciate everyone’s kindness and support, regardless of which tier you’re on, so please don’t feel obligated or pressured to join! Thank you! <3

Damn…I can’t afford $10. Farewell friends, it’s been real😔
I’m having problem with Patreon I don’t get any posts and the tier is active what’s going on?
this is a big line art, midnight looks like a beautiful storytelling
I love all the content you have been posting, and I joined honestly to show my support. That said, I would love to know more about you! I find myself more and more curious as to the author behind my absolute favorite thing right now.
I want to be part of the "Banana Tier". who doesn't? Gotta go join now. 😁👍
I'm in. If it includes what I'm getting now plus more, I'm definitely in.
Joined! Low fidelity no pressure posts are fun to read, very cool idea.
I'd like to but right now I'll have to stay in the $5 tier 🍌🍌🍌
Out of my personal budget 😥😥😥 However, I am happy for your progress and expansion!
Well, probably yes, the time has come for the changes and this tier should really be present on your page.
:( Wish I could play in the higher tier but I can't. But I like behind the scene stuff, so I'm really torn ☹ $120usd/yr. Sigh. I know that's a Starbucks visit per month. LOL. Maybe after I move. Cdn dollar get better! 😆😆😁 I really want to support your work though!!!!! Being in the arts can be tough. I know! I'm on the outside, looking in. Hoping one day I can be part of what I'm interested in. I wish all announcements made on Patreon would stay here. Have a great weekend!!!
Hey girl, I'll still have announcements and behind the scenes stuff over here, don't worry! The ones in the new tier will probably just be silly stuff I do just to de-stress. If I ever post anything at all 😂 Alsl I can probably unlock those at a later date for everyone, but for now, we'll see! I already told the bananas that we might disband 1 week or 1 year from now, but no idea 😂😂 But I'll be leaving the very private announcements and posts in the new tier where there are far lesser Patrons so I can write more freely without worry that any information might be leaked. Thanks so much for your support, my dear ❤️
Sign me up for the new tier. I love this comic and want to help you do more anyway I can.
What if I'm here to support, but I also like the NSFW stuff? I don't support on Patreon to get a service. I do it to support the creator. So I'm just a little confused if I need to move to also get the other updates if this tier is only NSFW stuff?
Hi! The banana tier also gets NSFW stuff, but you don’t need to switch to keep getting the smoot. I think the only difference is that personal/sensitive life updates from Lily and exclusive announcements that could get Lily into trouble with WEBTOON if leaked will be featured in the banana tier.
I don't have the money for this personally, but I think it's a really good idea and I hope it's a really great thing for people. I'll be sticking with the $5 per month for now, but I definitely think this is a good option and if I were a creator I would definitely go for it.
I will absolutely join solely because you are my FAVORITE creator on WEBTOON and I can afford it! I appreciate everything you put into your characters and stories. Thank you for all you do! Everything about this community brightens my day! 🤗🤗🥰🥰💖💖
We are the banana legion, here to spread love and support on every and all hairstyles provided by our Lily! 💛💛💛💛BANANIES UNITE!!!! 🍌🍌🍌 (bananas+ legion)
Also, I love how unimpressed banana Tora looks 🤣 “I’m supposed to be 6’3”
I dnt mind going frm $5 to $10. You are quite worth it!
All I ever expect from you is that you do your best! I love your work enough to wait for it uwu
Idk this picture of tora as a banana looks pretty cool😂
Right? I'm happy to pay the extra just for silly doodles of Tora as a banana 😂
Omg when I get paid I want to do this, I’ve honestly been wondering how I could just support you here and there with no catch just kind of a “this is the only reason I have webtoons” type thing, so I want to support the creator lol. I think this is a wonderful idea honestly.
Take your time my dear! Honestly I'm already grateful enough for everything, and this is an experimental thing right now ❤️
Something about the image posted with this really tickled me.
How do I move over? Lol do I just put 10 dollars?
Hi! I went to Account ➡️ Membership, then edited my subscription there. Hope this helps!
Well i absolutely love all the NSFW stuff you post on here, so when im a bit more financially stable, you can count me in 💜 i love everything you do and will support you however i can 🥰 and if that means seeing a bit more Tora then im all for it 😏
Don't worry girl, take care of you! ❤️❤️❤️
Maybe I'm not smart enough or not enough awake when i read it... but if i want the announcement, the sexy thing, in fact everything 🙈, Do i gave to upgrade (i really don't mind paying much because you really deserve it) or having 2 different tier???
P.s I really love you work and everything you do, even if i don't post so much. ❤️❤️
Sounds great. I would if I could. But I've been unemployed due to covid and have had to cut back on most of the rest that I've supported. So the tier I'm on now is my "I'm not going anywhere" support. Love you, Lily
Love ya Irene, please don't worry about a thing and take good care and I hope everything goes well for you. Sending much love your way! ❤️❤️❤️
The no expectation tier is self explanatory and I 💕 it! Enjoy your hiatus...
I've got my uniform (saffron pantaloons, canary coat, yellow wellies, and a bunch of bananas) all set and am ready for duty! 🍌🍌🍌
How the hell can I NOT join this tear with a picture like this!? 😂
To be honest I was more motivated to create the tier because of the name and image as well 🤣🤣
🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌
I'd join for the name alone tbh
to be honest, I didn't think I gave you enough money anyway, so this new tier is perfect! 😂
Upgrading! I’ve also thought you didn’t charge enough for everything you give here.
Keep in mind, Lily gives us these updates and extras out of the goodness of her heart. Her $1 says she will include officials updates, but there are levels to this. She is *Now* creating a new tier that will include exclusive updates and extras. A tier above normal updates. Many here are going on the assumption she even panned to keep showing extras from here on out. Which is her choice, not an obligation. So you will be losing *nothing*. You can simply choose to support Lily at a higher level and maybe get some extra updates or insights when she decides to ❤️ this is HER world and here are here for the ride.
I'm a fairly recent lilydusk discoverer and loving fan. I paced back and forth around the house for days, debating if I could really commit to allotting 5$a month to an online addiction (something I've never done before). Somewhere between reading MPL for the umpteenth time and and realizing that I was totally undeniably obsessed, I finally decided that I would. It is, of course, to have the privilege of viewing content i couldn't otherwise, but its also because I want to support Lilydusk!! I think she and her team are phenomenal at what they do and 100% deserving of everything/anything her fans can give! Yes its kinda a bummer that some things are now moving up/out of the 5$ tier, but since she's already been so generous, she doesn't really have another option. I'm once again teetering because I want to show her love financially as well as verbally/etc. But this mum of 3 is not suuuper sure I'm able to rationalize another 5$ on top of the current 5$ that my husband scowled at me about when i first notified him (as I nervously and excitedly danced around) and admitted that I'd made that monthly pledge. So I think, for now, I have to stay put. But Lilydusk, do what's best for you! We are here to support you as best each of us can, so keep up the great work and know that we love you! Mahalo nui
Please don't feel pressured!! I promise nothing will be taken away from what y'all are already receiving 🙏🙏
Y'all giving me tachycardia guys, please calm down 😂😂
I'm over here trying to help my banana smuttie sisters switch. ✌😂
Unfortunately I don't have the money to join (yet) but you have still my moral support
Not a problem, my dear ❤️❤️
I'm in as long as I'm employed! You're 100% worth it.
I am now a banana supporter... “all hail banana hammocks!”
How do I switch?
Under account you're going to see membership. You can edit the pledge there.
If I switch to 10$ will I still see everything else?
Yes dear. 😊
Lily You really know how to lure with a banana, I almost fell down when I remembered that according to the Chinese horoscope I am a monkey 🍌🐒😂
I know a lot of folks are hesitant about this new tier for understandable reasons (financial, for example). Totally valid, and trust me, I get it, I was broke as a joke not that long ago and so something like Patreon was a privileged pipe dream at best. And it sucks, but sometimes that's life. Like right now, I would love to be able to buy a Louis Vuitton bag, but my wallet has something to say about that. 😅🤣 🤷🏻♀️ However, I'd like to point out that for $5, we get (and still will get) more content from Lilydusk than most other creators give in even their $10-15 tiers. I Patron for several creators and they all have varying levels of content. We've been very spoiled by Lilydusk this past year and I think it's worthwhile for her to have an additional tier that has some random exclusive content. I honestly don't think y'all will miss out on all that much, and I would hope you'd put your trust in Lily to deliver as promised. She already has in spades. 💜💜
💚💚💚
🍌🍌🍌🍌 all the way
Not that I don't like the nsfw content cuz I do your an amazing artist and artists deserve to profit from their hard work... but I was mostly on the 5 dollar tier these 2 years for the behind the scenes stuff and pre release updates and obviously to offer support. This was the second Webtoon I found way back in the old version. Your the only person I've patreoned this whole time cuz this is honestly my favorite. Times are hard for everyone though and my disabled ass can't afford that big of an increase. 5 a month was already always a stretch on my limited budget. I'm not saying you don't deserve it. I wish you nothing but success! Your very talented as an artist and a story weaver. But if there won't even be behind the scenes updates on when stuff comes out I will be taking a break.
Me too.
Yaaasss, give me all those bananas! 🤩👏🏻🍌🍆👀
Does this new tier start next month or is it available now? If it is now I can't see it and I would like to encourage you .
If you go to “manage tiers” you can switch to it now! It’s below the SG listings
I'm in...getting my hammock (Banana Hammock) 🤩💃🏾💥💗🍌
I would gladly spend my whole income on you, mylady
Lily for you and your art I am willing to donate this money to make your art grow even more, I really want to see how you create 💕❤️😘🍌🍓
Madame, kindly take my money. You deserve the support to continue to do what you love even against all odds.
Love the Madame 😂 so proper.
I like bananas.
Count me in!!!! 🙌🏻 🍌legion/horny squad🍆??? Yes please!!!
Let’s peel bananas 😈
I’m here for it
Hello I’m here to join the banana legion.
Ahh, a place for my gremlin self to lurk.
Why not keep everything the same and just add a 10$ donation that people are ready and willing to pay for. Just putting that out there because we were getting the behind the scenes content and patreon only announcements on the 5$ tier already.
Also SEXIEST BANANA I EVER DAMN SEEN. STUFF MEH NAO!!! 🍌🍌🍌❤️❤️❤️
I'll be healthy eating that banana. 😃
I'm in! 💟
JOINED
Switched! ❤❤❤❤
Unfortunately I can’t afford change my tier ... however I wish you all the best e mental support for this ☺️ Hopefully my 5$ tier doesn’t lose content 😭 Wish you the best and thank you for your work as always 😊♥️
Don't worry, majority of existing $5 tier content will remain the same! 🙌🙌 Posts in this tier will be random and irregular, so you guys won't be missing out on much at all.
My student broke ass says eeeeeeh probably no. As long as I understand and support artists to have the remuneration they deserve, for now I can’t follow you on this new tiers. But congrats and I hope it’ll have a great success!
Please don't worry about a thing! ❤️❤️
YOU HAD ME AT BANANA 🤣🤣
I liked the announcements and behind-the-scenes, but unfortunately I won't be able to afford the new tier 😢 I understand you have to make money though, so best of luck to you! It feels like it puts more of a distance between "us", but maybe that's the goal? There were too many people and so it felt less like a private place? Just speculating tho ^^ Anyways, have a good day!
Not too much, it's really just a donation tier for those who might want to contribute a lil extra! I won't be taking any content away from the usual tier except those mentioned, and even then it will be very sporadic and irregular. Don't worry! ❤️
Tora is the saddest looking banana, but you are one of the first WebToon artists that got me addicted and probably the first I supported! And you give me countless hours of enjoyment. ♥️
Homeboy don't have a sense of fashion apparently so he gets the banana
I am here for it all 👏👏👏👏🙌
*finger gun* You son-of-a-bitch, I’m in! Switching now!
That's the spirit! 😘😘😘
Y'all don't know what you're signing up for 😂😂😂
as long as it has your name on it, Lily, I'm down for whatever the fuck you want! 😂
Ok I'm still getting used to the site so please bear (hehe 🐻) with me. I know lily is closing down for a bit/not posting, but if we move over to the 10$ tier will we still get all the content from the 5$ tier and more? Or is it either or? I have no problem paying more but I don't want to miss out on the mini NSFW when it comes back. I know until she's back up post will be random and I'm happy to keep supporting in the meN while
Don't worry, everything on the $5 tier will remain the same ❤️❤️
Once payday comes I'm going to the bananer league
I go for a Tora banana anytime! Switched. Luv you!!😍
Say no more. 😂 Switched!
Fastest purchase ever made 😂😂
How can I resist when it has that name and picture with the announcement? 😂
Well that was the easiest decision I've made all week. *Grabs banana suit* We are legion!
I moved over to it!
I just want to know if that's banana Tora because I'm conflicted 😭
Wait so the secret garden does not include behind the scenes posts etc anymore? :o
DONE AND DONE ❤️
I'm all in. Anything to support such incredible art. 💗☺️
I'm glad your garden has grown into an orchard 👍🤭
Banana Orchard 🤣 🍌
This sounds awesome!!
I’m confused - sorry! Would 5$ tier be losing content or it would be available in both tiers?
I'm testing waters for now, so all this is still tentative! But I'll be moving behind-the-scenes stuff, and Patreon exclusive announcements over to the new tier
🤭Banana, huh? I'm intrigued 🤔
I’m all in!
Switching!
-one click purchase-
Will we see NSFW in the banana tier? 🍌
Sorry, coffee hasn’t kicked in and I’m super dense right now.
Lol I love the name !!
Sign me up QUEEN 👑
❤️❤️
Hahaha IM IN WOO!
OMG TAKE ALL MY MONEY!!!! 😩💜💜💜
I’m in.
We don't have to ask. I think everyone got it in one shot.
