I think I've gotten a little too big for my britches, and I want to apologize for accidentally starting this trend of a bunch of sparklecare criticism blogs. my thoughts and critiques on the comic should have remained in private chats between friends, and nothing more. I'm leaving the blog up as an archive of the bitching of ages past. Thanks for the memories. I'm sorry. Live well, everyantherry.

I'm Going To Be Honest, I Copied My Typing Quirk From A Fanfiction. It Was A Magnus Archives Fanfiction. I Can Promise You I Am Not Part Of The ZCP.

oh ok nvm forget what i said LOL

[sparklecriticism]

"i cannot believe the zcp are now taking direct action in people's opinions oh my god" I Don't Work For The "ZCP"! I'm Not Even Quite Sure What That Is! I Simply Don't Like It When People Launch Harassment Campaigns Online! :)

don't lie you have the exact typing quirk of one of the ZCP members. I can literally pinpoint your exact blog also this isn't harassment I AM SHARING MY OPINION. ON A WEBCOMIC!

[sparklecriticism]

Gotta love how I offhandedly mentioned the recent influx of criticism accounts (not even giving my own criticism may I add) and apparently that was enough to have few folk unfollow me, which INCLUDED the official Sparklecare account! Huh! WHO WOULDVE KNOWN!!!

Anyways yeah my day has been wonderful how has yours been /s

-That one anon that asked about Hem’s partners in CC that one time I forgot lmao

my life sure has been interesting lately, to say the least. We need to start unionizing

How do u feel abt Kneeby’s response

I understand where Kittycorn is coming from, and I understand how it feels to have something so personal to you be criticized, but at the same time You Shouldn't Use Your Trauma As A Shield To Deflect Unrelated Criticism. I can see that Kittycorn is incredibly upset about it, but I feel like the appropriate action to take here would be to not engage with the fanbase at all, like how most artists do. I understand that these are kit's OCs, but the thing is so is the case with published books too, those are technically the creator's OCs as well. To kit those are kit's OCs, but to us these are just character's in a story. You can't expect everyone to blindly praise a work. The world does not work like that.

Idk. I have a lot to say but I don't want to bore anyone with the details.

[sparklecriticism]

destructive praise is worse than constructive criticism.

pointing out the issues of the comic in an attempt to reach the clowns and have them work on it is a good thing, as it ultimately benefits the comic and whatever future creations may be in store. blindly praising everything about the comic despite there being several blatant issues is a bad thing, as the issues will go unresolved and perhaps even worsen, and may bleed into other creations.

plus, if i dont point it out, someone else will, and i cant promise theyll be as tolerant as i am. everyones really lucky this criticism is coming from someone who resonated with the comic, and not some bigot who hates it just because its a queer autistic furry thing.

99% of this fandom is practicing destructive praise. i am practicing constructive criticism. regardless of how brash or rude i may sound, everything is ultimately intended to be constructive. so please learn to take it and learn from it.

i feel insane. im obsessed with this

hey guys

I’m seeing so many new Sparklecare criticism blogs popping up and it makes me so happy I can’t wait for this to all crash and burn and we all get burned alive at the stake

[sparklecriticism]

Why are Sparklecare fan artists better at giving the cast more diverse body types than the clowns atp they should take some of the fans and put them in the ZCP wtf are they doing over there

the ZCP has in fact added fans to their group. unfortunately, they don't seem to pick anyone who actually draws fat people. sad.

[sparklecriticism]

i would like to see jays mobility aid again please and not just as a plot device. i wanna see them riding it in the background just to get around

SAME. Jay is said to need a mobility aid but we have seen them use it 1 time and it was part of the plot. it was then completely dropped and seemingly forgotten about by the clowns.

weve seen characters in the backgrounds so many times PLEASE just let them actually use the mobility aid they need. show dont tell is the most important thing you can do in a story your creating and kittycorn sure does a lot of telling and not a lot of showing. this goes for a ton of other things in the comic too

[sparklecriticism]

this is absolutely not an original take and im sorry for regurgitating earlier stuff but i miss when everyone was bitchy and mean and flawed. doom used to be a bit of a misogynist ("youre not a girl are you?"/"yeah but the girlish ones are more harmless"/"i could be hanging out with hot girls!"). one of moods FIRST MOMENTS was her not marking down barrys actual admittance reasons, instead opting to scribble down "dont care not one bit" and draw pictures instead! its said that shes impatient on her character card. show that. hell, uni had a moment in volume 2 with the raft where she blew up (by uni standards, anyways) on carrie and barry for their constant bickering! sure okay we have caroline and hemera and barry (arguably) but like

i feel like the more time passes in sparklecare the more neutered and boring every character becomes. which is the opposite of whats supposed to be happening in stories btw. characters are feeling more and more copy pasted every day when they should be becoming more unique with individual character traits being explored and built upon. i miss asshole doom they were so funny #BringBackMysogiynistDoom

[sparklecriticism]

maybe its just me, but it kinda bothers me how the only visibly ugly character is the villain, cuddles. back during earlier development when doom was the villain he was visibly ugly but when the roles were passed doom was redesigned to be cute. i wish there were more visibly ugly characters that werent irredeemable pieces of shit (visibly ugly = the art style/comic/narrative goes out of its way to show that characters arent cute or pretty or whatever)

yeah it’s. Extremely strange how beauty is linked with morality in the reboot. I never realized it but now that I do it’s. Just plain gross honestly.

[sparklecriticism]

about the barry fat thing, that's a prime example on why i don't like the new sparklecare art style. like in 2019 the art style was expressive, colorful, and appealing to look at. it has it's charm and personality. now everyone's just skinny and looks like a bland generic flash cartoon you'd see air on some obscure overseas TV channel. i assume the change was to make it easier and faster to draw which i guess is valid. comics can be a bitch to draw and keep consistent. but idk man, i wouldn't sacrifice a beautiful art style to make stuff quicker. good stuff takes time.

also still upset over the multicare polly thing. scene mood was absolutely fantastic but what's with polly's disability essentially being erased for an aesthetic based AU? "he manages it better" managing a disability doesn't make it suddenly vanish??? i feel like if polly's disability was more 'realistic' and didn't involve his body turned into ice people would be more upset over that. oh, i forgot, it's by the all mighty kittycorn god. we shall never question what we're told

-🫀

I've heard fat Barry is back but the comic still has too many shinny ass bitches. Let me see some FAT HAIRY PEOPLE. I'm so sick of the skinny ass mfs. WHERE IS THE INTERESTING BODY SHAPES! WHERE ARE THE BEARS!

Also you're not alone in being weirded out by them erasing Polly's disability. If the disability was something real and they (for example) used a mobility device and kittycorn removed that with the same excuse people would be FURIOUS. But because the disability is "become ice cube" it's just ignored. That's the issue of making shitty fake disabilities in your story, they just don't relate at all to real life and end up ringing hollow at the claims of "representation".

[sparklecriticism]

Okay mild criticism of the fanbases but can y'all please make your fanblogs better on the eyes? I have photosensitive migraines and the colors clashing is what hurts most, not neon colors or vibrancy. But like, having colors that are difficult to read against each other and having them be as bright as possible is so bad for some folks

Fucking real. I like bright contrast and edgy looks but there needs to be an option for those who can't handle constantly getting their eyes burned. It's really not for everyone and people shouldn't be running around giving people migraines with no warning.

Just make 2 options, one with low contrast and one with high. It takes like a couple minutes to turn down the contrast and it helps others more than they know.

[sparklecriticism]

carrie is 100% in being rude to barry and it’s weird that they act like she’s not

I prefer when characters are rude, it makes the story more interesting. I'd be bored out of my mind if everyone was nice all the time.

[sparklecriticism]

Sparklecare fans only hate Hemera because shes a woman who’s showing signs of trauma

Sparklecare fans when they see someone (especially women) being affected by trauma in literally any way other than becoming sad and quiet: 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Some Sparklecare fans are dumb as fuck. This blog is the only reason I still interact with anything sparklecare related because people just cannot be normal.
