hii 🌸 (status update)
hey guys, i hope you have been doing fine!! small status update: i want to come back in May to patreon!! i'm doing much better and it's luckily improving a bit every week. i still have some days where i'm pretty off, so i want to take April to just slowly get back into things 🌻
i have made some progress with the comic, especially with scripting and doing vertical episodes of earlier scenes. i reread the comic too (to puzzle and script more easily) and now i've been feeling so sentimental and nostalgic because of it. my plan is to start properly drawing pages again from tomorrow onwards~ i'm so excited i can't even tell you 🥹 paneling here i come
also, today is my birthday 🎂 and it would mean a lot to me if you'd want to tell me what's your favorite thing about Ghost Lights or what you like about it in general~ it'd make me really happy to hear your thoughts and also i will treasure it all (absorb it into my soul and live off of it the whole year)
thank you all for your patience and support, i love you so much 🐌
PS. the little guy in the drawing is basically me / alter ego (going by the name Ezra), design of my pngtuber that i'm planning to use soon in vids etc!

Happy (very belated now) bday! Ghost Lights feels very special for some reason, like each new episode, each moment, each panel, is representing some intrinsic truth of the universe. I can’t explain why it seems like an especially important story for me. For more practical reasons why I like this comic: I love the blending of horror and beauty, the character designs are all fantastic, the story is intriguing (can't wait to unravel each mystery!), the romance is adorable (I want our boys to be happy!), and I can just feel how much love and work went into crafting it all. It's a complete experience. A true masterpiece
Very much a happy waaaaaay belated. I kinda took a break from patreon...still happy happy birthday! For this comic? I'm an absolute sucker for a good kinda fantasy slow burn style setting. The mystery, the awkward at times romance...love it so so much. I feel a strong connection with the characters and it's been a source of much enjoyment over the years. Hope you're doing better and keep doing better.
Happy birthday ( belated ) as well! It warms my heart ❤️ to know that you’re feeling better. As for what I enjoy most about Ghost Lights…? Hmm. How both the mundane and fantastic are interwoven, and your aesthetic conveys. There’s a certain fluidity to it all that makes everything seem like part of a greater ( if sometimes mysterious ) whole
Happy belated birthday! 🥰 I'm glad you're feeling better and I hope you had a beautiful bday. My favorite thing about your Ghost Lights is your beautiful art style and how you use the supernatural element, that spooky feeling that comes from nature but it's sooo enchanting that fires up your curiosity. I can resonate with Noah a lot because of that. I love your characters and story, so thank you so much for all the effort and work and love you have given these years to share it with us ❤️
Happy belated bday Fanta!!!! Glad to hear you feel a little better!!! Keep taking care of yourself!!!
Happy Belated Birthday 🎂 ! Happy to hear you're feeling slightly better. I really like the colors you put into the background sceneries. It gives off the sense of ghostly haunting and eerieness that would make it too scary to live, but you fill the environment with such loving characters that it seems living there is not so bad. I also just really like the name of the comic itself, Ghost Lights.
Happy belated birthday Fanta 🎂 I'm so happy to hear that you're feeling better 💗😊 I've followed Ghost Lights story since 2018 and I reread from the beginning all the time because, as an artist myself, I can see all the love you put in to every stroke of your brush. I love how comforting your art is, I've caught myself staring at some of your panels before because of the detail, how bright and inviting the colors you use are. I hope you can one day print Ghost Lights into books so I can keep them always 📚
Happy (late) birthday! I love the atmosphere and the dynamic between Noah and Robin most
Happy birthday Fanta! I'm so glad you are still continuing to get better, a little at a time 💖 I don't really know how to put it into words how Ghost Lights makes me feel. Their past lives and loneliness spoke to me in such a profound way that I sobbed and felt like I had lived passed lives similar to that? It's the most beautiful story and art I've ever read. They are just beautiful and I love you for creating my favourite couple ever 🥹🫶
Happy birthday Fanta!! My favorite is the attention to detail that brings the characters alive. The little details that have nothing to do with the plot but shape who they are and how they feel/react is everything to me. For example: when Robin starts wearing a shirt to bed because he realized he likes Noah says so much about his character. It shows him changing his boundaries and the new level of discomfort he has surrounding the situation.
Happy Birthday! While I love the creepy/mysterious bits of the story, the moments of realistic human struggles and emotions get me just as much.
Happy birthday!!! So happy you are starting to feel better! I love Ghost Lights due to everything: the art style, the characters, the story and just the vibe - everything is just exactly what I adore. It is simply, perfection <3
Happy birthday. I absolutely love your style, the way you use the colors, shadows, lighting. I also love how the flaw is. I have so many things to say. But I don't want to write a gigantic thing.
Happy birthday Fanta!! 🎉🥳🎉 I hope you’re having an amazing day!! 💜 My favorite thing about Ghost Lights has always been the feeling that it gives you as you read it. The gorgeous art and the characters that I’ve fallen in love with are amazing, of course. But something that’s been super special to me about this story is that mysterious feeling…like you know there’s a secret…and the answer is there but just out of reach…and there’s little clues and tiny details…if only you could remember and piece it together…. 🥰💜
Happy birthday!!!! My absolute favorite part about ghost lights is how you craft the absolutely stellar atmosphere of the story, and how you effectively morph between surreal, spirit forms, and "real" human forms, allowing us to fully live the confusing, surreal, and mysterious situations the boys find themselves in. You are a master at crafting tone and atmosphere and storytelling through omission of explanation, and I love it.💚💚💚 I'm so glad you're feeling better! Enjoy your birthday and take your time getting back into the groove of things! Plus with exam season coming up lord knows may is when I'll actually have the free time to read the comic 😅
Happy birthday! I absolutely adore your art style and the way you use colours. It's so moody and ties so well with the story creating this dreamy, surreal atmosphere.
Happy Birthday! Glad to hear you’re feeling better 💕. Your storytelling through both illustration and dialogue is amazing. It’s easy to get lost in the story, and really feel all of the emotions being portrayed, even when oscillating between the lighter and darker story arcs.
Happy birthday Fanta! I like it cause it because the art in general adorable but also creepy feel to it without over doing it. Ghost lights has the supernatural right enough to be mundane everything normal and yet there something else there almost spooky but not full blown horror. Your doing a great job and grateful you take the time for your health cause it helps the story for the long run. Happy birthday again
Happy birthday! Where do I even start with what I like about Ghost Lights? It's a perfect mix of creepy and adorable...with an extra helping of adorable. I'm a sucker for mythic backstory and past lives, so you've got me hooked on that. And just the perfect touch of tragedy looming on the horizon (but is it the horizon behind, ahead, or both?) to help them realize they belong together, even if the entire world (and the world behind the world) stands against them.
Happiest of birthdays to you! I am so glad to hear that you are starting to feel better bit by bit! My favorite thing about Ghost Lights is your art style. It is one of the most beautiful comics I have ever read and I want your art all over my house! The color and darkness is just incredible. Keep creating!
Happy birthday and so glad you're starting to feel better! My favorite thing about Ghost Lights has always been your unique, intense art style; it's a perfect dreamscape and I'm so impressed by your creativity. I also LOVE the pining :3
Happy birthday! I love the weirdness, beautiful art and intensive emotions <3
Happy birthday!! The thing that drew me in was the gorgeous, atmospheric art, especially the lighting. But it also just gives me such a particular vibe... idk how to put it, but it’s kind of cozy but also kind of like there’s some ancient secret thing underneath? Pretty sure that makes no sense but it’ll have to do. 🤣
Happy Birthday! I love your art so much and the pairing of the story is so suited for each other. I love every theme of scene you draw (Especially the flowery and glowy ones).
Happy Birthday!!! 🎉🎂🎁 As others mentioned it's sooooo hard to choose but some of the many things I love is the beautiful and mystical story which has really captured me! ❤️ As well as our lovely adorable boys and your art! ❤️
Happy Birthday Fanta!!! I love so much about Ghost Lights it’s so hard to choose just one thing. So I’ll pick two. I adore the art. It is literally one of the most beautiful comics I’ve ever seen. Everything is lovely and cozy. And I also love the romance and the overall spooky vibes. So I guess I picked three!
Happy birthday!! 🎉 It's hard to choose just one favourite thing about your comic, I started reading it for the art and then the story captured me 🥰 The characters being adorable and so humane is another thing I love ❤️
Happy birthday Fanta! Happy to hear you are doing well. My favourite thing is your passion for your comic, your art style and the well written characters and designs <3 I'm still in love as it was day one discovering it!
Happiest of birthdays my darling! It brings me such joy to hear you are starting to have better days. Remember, recovery (especially with chronic illness) is not linear and bad days are a totally normal part of the process. When your body asks for a break honor that and don't push yourself. As for my favorite thing about Ghost Lights? I have no idea how to choose just one thing. The art is ethereal, the story is exquisite, the characters feel so freaking real, it's like this comic speaks to my very soul
Happy birthday! I can't decide on a favourite thing, I just love this comic to bits.❤️
Hi! Happy to hear you are getting better! Wish you a happy B-day!🥳💝 I love the art in Ghost light, and the originallity of the story (beside the lovestoryside) And the cuddely plushies of the boys... Alf both boys are so cute! Especially as chibbis! Happy drawing!❤️🔥💪🏽🫶🏽✏️
happy birthday fanta! what I like about ghost lights... that's not simple to describe ^^ first of all, it's not like your everyday love (or ghost) story, not about almost getting to a happy end just to find another obviously bad person or desaster to pull the story back. it's just one long story, not a running through one series final by another. another point would be that the story isn't only shining, it's dark and strange and there are so so many things to discover, it feels like an adventure reading it. i hope you had a wonderful day and wish you to get better quickly *virtually hugs*
Happy birthday! 🎉 Narrowing down one favorite part of Ghost Lights is a tough feat because I love all of it: the story, lore, art, characters, and tone. The art and lore drew me into the story originally when I first found it years ago and the character and relationship developments over time keep me coming back. 💙
Oh gosh happy birthday and I'm so glad you are feeling better! I think my favorite thing about GL is the mystery of it all and the way that it's very different than any other comic I've seen in this genre. I love how detailed you are and intentional with hints in the background (even if I don't catch onto some of it) and how you inform is that there are hints there because it makes me pay more attention. A friend and myself started looking into comic design last year and when I was thinking about what I wanted to do and how I wanted to approach things I thought of GL more often than not because I'm just so impressed by you and your art and your storytelling. That's why I'm so happy to follow along no matter the pace, this story and your boys are so worth it and I'm so happy to be a part of that journey in any way that I can. Sending so much love for your birthday 💜 here is to many more
So glad you’re doing better! Also glad that you took the time you needed to rest and recover. I’m also so excited you’ll be drawing more again soon! YAY! My favourite things about Ghost Lights…how about everything?! The art style is what first drew me in, and the fantasy elements are so amazing, I just adore the story of Noah and Robin! And my plushies of them, I adore those too. Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!! 🎉 I love the artwork and colors for Ghost Lights, it's always so beautifully done! Also I love the dynamic and love between Noah and Robin 🖤
Happy birthday! So happy you are doing way better, keep it up! We want you healthy. My favorite part of the story is just how mysterious it all is and the love the boys have for each other. It warms my heart.
Happy birthday!!! My favorite things about ghost lights are: the art and colors (saying it like that doesn't do it justice tbh), the way even the dark parts of the plot feel gentle and comforting, and the realism of the characters; they feel three-dimensional and realistic.
Happy Birthday! Let me give you more tips, please! My favorite thing about Ghost Lights is the art style, and my favorite thing about its story are the character's personalities. They feel so real, not like many other stories wherein the plot takes the lead and overshadows the choices the characters make. You know, like those famous cringey tropes often involving prolonged simple misunderstandings that shatter a relationship only to drive the plot. Ghost Lights cuts that 'ish off out the gate! It is unique and lovely.
OMG Happy Birthday!!! This is such a joyful occasion! I hope you can/could spend a wonderful day with your loved ones ! Some things I like about Ghost Lights in no particular order : the spectacular drawing and art style, the general ambiance, the very human and simple (in a good sense) characters, the mystery, the realistic dialogues (with character who are allowed to make mistakes and not be able to say exactly what's on their mind...), the writing in general... The perfect balance between being grounded in reality and the "fantastique" elements. It just checks all the boxes in all the good ways. I honestly think it's one of the best webtoon out there. It's also very original and unique. It always makes me happy when there is an update, or just some news from you, because I know the comic is still going, at its own pace, and I'm looking forward to see where it goes.
Happy birthday Fanta!!🎂 Glad to see you're doing better 😊
Happy Birthday! What I love about the comic is the character design, I love how you designed the lil animal forms and have details from those in the human designs too! Also the facial expressions are so cute, you've done a good job in portraying them! Also Mimi🥺
Happy birthday Fanta!!! I really love your art style it works perfectly with your story, I also really love how dark the story is while still having soft moments and mystery. I was really drawn to Noah when I first started reading the comic and I relate to him a lot so seeing him go through everything and have Robin by his side is super special. Thank you so much for your hard work and I hope your health gets better and your doctors are helpful!
Happy Birthday!!! Glad to hear your doing better! It's honestly hard to think of my favorite, I love all of Ghost Lights! The art and the colors are what caught my attention and the characters just dragged me along for an amazing adventure! 🥰
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎂 So happy to hear you've been doing better but don't push yourself! ❤️
I dont know if I can pinpoint an exact favorite thing about ghost lights because I just love so much about it, but I was drawn in by the mystery and the spooky vibes, grown to love the boys and their relationship, and your beautiful art!! This world you've created is very intriguing and i can't wait to see what's in store for it!! Thank you for all your hard work, hope you have a great birthday!!
Happy Birthday 🎂
