no need to apologize! this is a very validating take on the style and vibe of HFTL and I'm glad you told me! I used to write a lot of Starfox fan-fiction, and that has served as some of the basis for this comic for sure! I always wanted to get my paws on the rights to Starfox to make it gayer, so instead of waiting for godot I decided to make my own thing! (also i wanted to add, the menu song for SF64 was played on repeat while i was writing chapter one. definetly a foundational aesthetic moment for my work!)
