Hey guys, I know we're all eagerly waiting for Sleepy to hopefully return but there's something that kind of been eating at me based on what they indicated in the comments of their hiatus post on Subscribistar.
In these comments Sleepy indicated a few times that one of the reasons why they decided to take a break is because of the tones/themes of their stories and situations, not wanting them to get "too depressing". I can really understand that idea but also I couldn't help but fear that they'd purposefully smooth out a lot of the edges of their work for this reason. The pseudo-dark nature of their stories and situations was always one of the most unique things about Sleepy's work, it was way more intense than any other BDSM artist was prepared to go.
I also fear that To Break A Thief would be cancelled on their possible return for this reason as well. This would (ironically) break me because its shaping up to be one of my favourite comics from Sleepy. It's like being stuck between and a rock and a hard place because I don't want that type of stuff to change but I also don't want Sleepy to continue doing things they no longer wish to do.
Hopefully I'm just getting worried for nothing but it was just something I thought I'd share with y'all.
