Mei Rothschild, creator of the Webtoon original "Brimstones and Roses," returns to discus the animated classic, Steven Universe. This is part 2 of a two part episode. 

We talk about how Steven Universe inspired Mei's journey as an artist, how she built her own following through fan art, and how an anonymous hate message about her Steven Universe art drove her to sharpen her skills when it came to body diversity in her art. Tangents include what it's like to have your own fans after being one for so long, how fandom can be toxic, and the era of Tumblr ask blogs.
