Tim: So what do you like to eat?

Danny: I don't know what Earth has to offer yet. Do you recommend any good places to eat?

Tim pulling out his restaurant review blog that he's secretly very proud of:

[inkskinned]

we heard that you were very disappointed in us both as a generation and specifically as a generation of women (emphasis yours), how we had let ourselves go and now we were slutty and ill-tempered and holding onto notions of feminism like "having a savings account" and "equality."

we were very sorry about it, we didn't realize. it is very hard for you, in your life, because your entire definition was centered around the word providing, and that's a really vague and undulating word. it is hard to be a provider. for your purposes, the word provider here can be defined as "having a job", although it sometimes also extends to "doing yard work", "grilling on occasion," and "knowing basic car anatomy."

we had to do some reading but we divided it out. do not worry. high-value women will fill in the rest of the gaps of your life - all those silly feminine things like doing the dishes. we didn't realize we had asked too much when we asked you to pick up after yourself. we did not realize you were rendered small and scared and crying about the possibility of doing the laundry. here is a joke to lighten the sentiment: a man that listens when you talk to him.

we heard about how we had fallen from glory and it sickened us and made us very, very sad. lindsey had to cut all her hair off and tara threw up. we lit one million candles and we are going to have a vigil about it tonight. all of the people in this world that you do not approve of are going to be there and we will all be in mourning colors because we have lost your respect which is of course the only thing that any of us were looking for.

we searched around our bedrooms and our closets and for some of us it took a while but we all found the pricetag that we were originally born with, the one that gave our listing offer, the one that smells like rot and pine needles. we were horrified because many of us had taken deductions and hadn't realized it. i had scraped my knees and decided to be a lesbian so they had to take my voicebox out so i could never call home again. janice had been with too many people overall so we had to put her into the big squisher that will hopefully collapse her walls so that when you're with her, you'll feel so big and powerful. it will be like you're conquering something instead of being close with someone.

we are all going to the funeral of feminism and we will tear at our bodies and fall over ourselves. we will invite you onstage for a live recording of your podcast about the occasional minor inconvenience of self-reflection. you will talk about how we have targeted you and made you feel the sweat slick down your back, and we will teach you basic self-defense out of solidarity.

do not worry, we are seeing to all the outliers. taylor asked to be taken seriously so we have shipped her off to prison. laura asked you to accept her femininity regardless of her presentation. you will be happy to hear all women are now and forever going to have to be small and thin and pretty and white and ablebodied and quiet and unassuming and ladylike, which is different than how society has previously told us to act.

i am going to have to shave off my jawline, which is a little masculine, and they are going to have to reshape my hands, which are very square and thick - all the work i've done with them has made their veins stand out, so we're just going to have to exsanguinate me. i am horrified to have been out in public like this.

we are going to sit around the campfire and we will talk about being weird little girls that made potions in pink teacups. we will talk about the first time we made a difference. we will talk about the private lives of crickets, and then, at the stroke of three in the morning (the witching hour, obviously) - we will all promptly shut up.

and this will be your beautiful world. this silence that spans every corner of every street and every zoom meeting and every alley. i do not think you'll notice at first - it will be the same as every television show and movie and book. we will all just simply sit there in our doll dresses and smile blithely at your advances and none of us will do you the dishonor of answering and none of us will appear to be in distress and none of us will nag you or make a fuss or get hysterical about it. it will just be quiet, and you will say finally, some peace for once! and we will smell of smoke and our teeth will be white and the next day will come.

tonight we are going to bury the last little bits of our humanity. you are not invited. it is going to be ugly.

a family bigger than 4! part 38

drawing these really made me think a lot about parenthood...

I ended up looking at many forum posts/videos/articles... research papers, and medical information(a lot of what I learned isn't making it into these comics but I am doing the work!). It's been really sweet to read parents/to-be parents talking about their partners and anticipating their babies making it out into the world, a lot of people really wish for them to be happy and safe. That was a great realization. Hope everyone can feel that same love and care.

Sparklecare Hospital Reboot Review

I've never posted my critique about Sparklecare Hospital, because I was too lazy to analyze the plot or I would get harassed. It's been 20 days since the doc came out and I left the Sparklecare fandom for a long time. I've made a review of the preboot where it was pretty okay by today's standards, although I never reviewed the reboot one. Just for a retrospective, I'm going to review the current comic, and I'm going to try to distract myself from Sparklecare and focus on other interests once it's fully resolved. Although I'm not good at making critiques, I will try my best. Note that this is just my personal opinion so feel free to disagree if you have something to point out.

Before we begin, I have to admit that I had a bad impression of the crit community because I thought they were harassing the creator. I defended her when the trend blew up, but once I learned about KC's suspicion for a long time, I became neutral and lurked around some crit blogs, it turns out they were right. Some of the crits were minors and people began jumping on the trend to spout something that isn't "Too many sex jokes and innuendos to focus on the comic". In addition, I do not support Kittycorn or condone any actions she has done. This review was purely made for my opinions.

Now enough talking about them, here is the list of each volume titles available in the Everything Sucks series:

Vol 1: ...And Nobody's Talking About It

Vol 2: This and That Too

Vol 3: When Nobody's Looking

Vol 4: Especially You

Vol 5: Curing The Infection

Generally speaking, the reboot fixes almost every issue in the comic to make it more realistic to portray average healthcare, but that won't be the case when volume 4 started, so let's jump into the first volume.

Volume 1 starts with Barry reading a pamphlet, and an old character named Charles Wells warns him not to go into the "slaughterhouse" known as Sparklecare Hospital. Barry eventually farewells to him by saying "Things get better" before going on a checkup, but Charles answers otherwise. For the plot of this volume, I'd say it's a good start for a "satirical" comic about American Healthcare which was based on the creator's horrible hospital experience so she tried to make it relatable for anyone who is experiencing the said thing like Kittycorn does, and we were glad to see the four characters being met, mainly Uni Cornelius, Caroline Coughs, Jay Fortune and Hemera Philly. Plus, the ending helps to tell the truth about American Healthcare. There are a few retcons in this comic to make it a bit more sense for old and new fans alike to keep up with people who love to ship. As for her art style, her 2018-2021 era was my favorite because it makes each character look pop thanks to line variations. Sadly, when volume 3 came out, her art style was starting to degrade to save time for her crew members have more room for multiple comic pages, either that or her wrist injury, albeit I can't blame for that. There are a few changes after the site revamp which I'm not a fan of.

Volume 1 Changes:

On page 30, Uni's bloody tears have been removed, and one panel has been changed to indicate that Caroline and Uni are not dating, implying that Carruni is canon. I don't find this necessary because it ties directly to Uni being closeted, and Uni and Caroline's relationships remain private. Cuddles' assumption has also been dumbed down.

This applies to page 80 where the line was changed to imply multiple ships.

On page 76, Doom clearly states that he needs to work in a hospital to protect her sister. In my opinion, this edit may potentially spoil unaware readers about the reasoning of working in a hospital. At least Doom's mouth has been fixed.

On page 48, the staff's ID cards have added more info that I find cluttered because there is a lack of personality before they put their own answers to their card. Two examples are Funfetti and Doom's favorites being added despite they were supposed to keep their favorites to themselves.

Doom's borderline misogynism and bad relationship with Uni have been removed on page 108 and 109. We'll talk further in the volume 2 so moving on.

Volume 2 takes place after the patients get sent back to the hospital. Barry has never met these people since the beginning, so he tries to greet them nicely aside from his impressions of Hemera. Since it's a cleanup day, Doom has confiscated the patients' belongings to the trash, but the former didn't want their favorite things thrown away. Caroline has an idea of getting their belongings back by sending her friends but Hemera into the dumpster, but they are stopped by former patients in a city dump until the end.

Other than sex jokes more often in some volumes, this plot has pretty good moments to keep us waiting for the lore and foreshadowing, and it sends a message of toxic masculinity that happened to Uni in terms of her identity. However, there are a few retcons and edits to try to fit in.

Volume 2 Changes:

On page 36 to page 40, his belittlement of Uni over "girlish" things has been removed to push the shipping narrative for new readers. I'm not a fan of Doom being "woobified" into saying sorry for confiscating her teddy bear because that's the point of making a morally grey character, so when you're making a character who is a douche, make sure to add flaws to make them unique.

On page 56 and 57, removing Caroline's verbal ableism is a bad change. Caroline is insensitive towards Barry and Jay at her first impression due to her misunderstanding. Same goes to Uni who doubled down Barry's schizophrenia.

One thing I can agree with is WcDonald's being replaced with 7-Twelve on page 134 due to Kittycorn finding out about McDonald's complicit genocide, though the lighting and the character design pattern on this page are heavily downgraded.

Now, the ending marks the cliffhanger for the last outsider, we would expect to have the same quality as previous volumes, but not all volumes are created equal. So that's why I'm moving on to the next volume. Enter "When Nobody's Looking".

In volume 3, we see Doom drawing a flower, and her sister Mood shows up at the wrong time. He tries to hide it out of embarrassment but shows it to her anyway, and Mood compliments his drawing afterward. The plot introduces side patients in the cafeteria such as Orange U. Glad, Cyn Dher, Polaris Klepsky, and Finnegan Fevers, so we can see their character development in this comic, at the same time, it introduces outsiders such as social workers in the comic which can report the abuse inside a premise, although that's not the case anymore at the end of the volume. In my opinion, I'm pretty impressed by this introduction where Polly is introduced to Uni's jealousy, and we can finally see the reason for Uni's eyes going missing due to her suicide attempt, which is shocking, and the ending shows the truth of a social worker taking a side of Sparklecare Hospital. As far as her art style is concerned, this takes a downgrade approach including the comic panel format, character designs, and inking. Now onto the volume 4, and it's going to be a hot mess for long-term Sparklecare readers.

The volume 4 is mainly a filler for Barruni fanservice. The concept of sentient puppets controlled by Uni's magic to represent her self-loathing and insecurity, and her self-loving sounds pretty cool on paper, but the way Kittycorn implemented it is poorly executed. The plot of this volume is okay like we get it. We have Uni's own story for the audience, but neither everyone is a Barruni shipper nor is okay with many sex jokes to fill it in, especially the "canon" ending where Barry has a dream in a very suggestive manner rather than Uni creating multiple puppets as an apology to those who were affected by a puppet version of herself named Kneevil. Honestly, I'm already concerned about this volume when looking back. There are many sex jokes in this plot which turn people away from it, considering the comic was used to be marked as 16+ before increasing to 18+ back in August 2024. What's more concerning is that one crew member named Jeremy was somehow credited on page 24 of volume 5 before they even turned 18, mostly due to Patreon posts being submitted early. Moving on to the volume 5.

The final volume starts with Uni having a nightmare over something that will affect her life. She goes to a doctor named Dr. Dolly to confess her nightmare and receives her stuffed toy which foreshadows the overarching antagonist whose body parts are fused together in a far future volume, especially the "Perfect Patient" part in volume 3. This volume has its ups and downs. We may see an intern of a social worker named Brigh T. Howtlook exploring an abandoned hospital building on his own with multiple outsiders making theories about the truth of Sparklecare Hospital. This could have been the potential to see more foreshadowing on each lore. Unfortunately, this volume won't be finished due to the comic being put on hiatus after the creator got called out for multiple controversies that can be read here (I don't recommend reading this doc if you're not comfortable with disturbing themes). Not to mention, this volume's art style and comic format have been downgraded as well.

I do not have anything to review aside from leaked series and things that can be read here, but if I'm being honest about the comic and her project, it's going to suck due to plot holes willing to be added, and this discourages future readers to move on to something else as the Sparklecare project will become bland if Kittycorn had continued it from her recovery, and I'm afraid, she will take the Floraverse route but I doubt it will happen for the time being.

All these controversies surrounding Kittycorn such as incest, befriending predators off sight, and silencing victims, make me glad that there are better alternatives that are worth reading. I've read one of her responses on Tumblr before it gets taken down, presumably due to her abuser finding out, and one thing I can kind of agree with is to not make a comic about your trauma if you're unsure about yourself and the popularity, but I think it depends on how you want to vent out your problems if done right. This however doesn't excuse Kittycorn from making multiple incest projects and inserting exhibitionism into a public AU blog called Ask Cometcare. It doesn't help that there were minors who were working on an incest project while leaving them unaware, and saying it's her coping mechanism is very unhealthy, and she needs to seek help from professionals and cut every predator off her life. Considering she had done multiple things to lie to her audience including ones from the preboot, this project should've never been created from the start of 2016 for safety reasons.

Rating: 7/10

I won't be linking all volumes here for now, although you can look up yourself through Wayback Machine if you want to. I do not recommend giving any support to Kittycorn for all things mentioned. Instead, support victims who were affected by Sparklecare and predators:

Started ep. 11 and already don't like how Santos is rolling in the "win" by also spreading the gossip that they're down a resident and how she tried to "celebrate" with Robby 😒 and what on earth is she gonna tell Garcia... This is not going well in my hope for some seriousness from her...

i'm trying to study angels. so many! bearing the violence! bearing the joy! i say trying because, well, they are everywhere and so often. do you have any resources on where/how to sink my teeth in first? i wonder also of the apocrypha. xoxo, dove

angels in the hebrew bible are less heavenly bodies and more "unfamiliar selves," extensions and embodies of yahwism. only later books, especially apocrypha, move into something less murky. my book recommendations on hebrew biblical angels—carlson's unfamiliar selves and the sbl panel it was presented at; walsh's angels associated with israel in the dss; ahuvia's on my right michael; mohr's rebellious angels (this one emph. apocrypha); papaioannou's earthly shadows; reiterer's celestial beings

Trauma Code

This is an 8 episode netfilx series.

I finished watching it in 2 weeks ( i was super busy). But the series was good. The Characters were very different from what i have seen in other dramas.

I also enjoyed watching the mentor - student dynamic that they have, gave multiple learnings and comedic moments.

As the episodes went on, I felt more and more close to the characters and hoped for their success. Keep in mind there are many wtf moments, that make you question your sanity.... but sometimes you need such kind of content and then again, there is only so much you can do in an 8 episode series.

It was fun and fresh, If you are a fan of hospital dramas this one should be on your list.

The most gut wrenching, heart shattering, tear jerking, yet so amazingly beautiful fanfic I've read in my entire life (Haikyuu BokuAka)

I remember seeing this fanfiction mentioned on an Instagram reel like a week ago... Everyone was talking about how utterly and profoundly sad yet beautiful this fanfiction was.

I put it off for a little while because usually Major Character Death isn't my thing, and when I do read it it doesn't strike a chord like it's supposed to... but oh my GOD this hit me hard.

As one commenter said, roughly quoted,

"Reading this is both the best and worst decision I've made in my entire life."

The way everything is written is so BEAUTIFUL, all the little details, that even though I think my own fan fictions are tragic and I have made people cry myself... I don't think I'll reach THIS level.

Anyways, I am suffering and literally shaking right now from all the emotions this ONESHOT FANFIC. YES IT'S A ONESHOT AND STILL THIS AMAZING. made me feel, so I thought I'd share it to make someone else suffer yet marvel in awe with me too. :)

Your headcanons on HIM’s diner: who goes there from the main cast, its star rating, HIM’s customer service, if HIM hires, etc.

Ahhhhh, the good ol' Otto Time Diner!

I'd love to hear your headcanons because, honestly, my only headcanon is that Him basically created the diner for the whole bit of messing with the girls that one day and shut down the restaurant after like two or three days. ...maybe he kept it open a bit longer and started giving people food poisoning for fun, but I just think he eventually got bored of it.

HAUNTED HOSPITAL: HEILSTÄTTEN (2018)

This is a really weird German found footage film that mixes the aesthetics of an abandoned sanatorium with prank youtube. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. The twist is interesting, the movie is interesting, it plays a lot like an episode of Ghost Adventures but with actual activity . The actors do a good job with the script, overall not a bad film, just a bit plain. The story itself is new but the spooks were not (though I did like when the unlocked chain turned into a continuous loop chain, that was fun, Grave Encounters-y).

⭐⭐⭐

(Trigger Warning Suicide)

This movie is based around a bunch of youtubers who are trying to get mad views so they do a spooky challenge by breaking the law and going to an old tuberculosis sanitarium (because nothing is more frightening than breaking the law). We have your classic annoying prankster brothers,  a beauty guru, and a young upstart who is looking for her place on the internet (wouldn’t know anything about that hahaha please follow my blog). Theo is our tour guide and he is very straight forward about not liking the pranksters content, it is ruining today's youth! Theo also wants to make sure everyone is very appreciative of the heavy history that comes with the Haunted Hospital for no reason in particular, don’t you mind one bit.

As the kids begin to set up for the evening creepy stuff starts to happen and the beauty guru gets a jump scare by another random guy who they tell to fuck off and he does but little do they know it’s to be the first death of the movie! Dun dun dun! Only after our beauty babe sees a full bodied (and full bloodied) apparition in the bathtub and literal writing on the wall do our first group of two (2) attempt to leave when they discover the real dead body of the guy and things become really real for all of them. Everyone starts trying to get out but of course they all split up to do it, and Theo is in the basement all alone so the daring duo go down to find him. He is in the basement alright, but so is something else, all three (3) kids in the basement get got. 

The final prank brother goes down and in a rather gruesome scene with an elevator cable we are down to just the young upstart, Marnie. She has actually been in Heilstätten before with her sister and Theo and when they were here Marnie saw an apparition which somehow led to an accident where her sister is now in a wheelchair. Marine claims she came back for Theo’s safety but he is certain she only came for youtube clout. This becomes clear when we find out that Theo isn’t dead after all, he was doing a “prank” this whole time. Turns out he has a weird goth girlfriend and they bugged the whole sanatorium just to haunt these kids and kidnap them. He starts to do surgery on them but the whole “Marnie being missing” thing was really bumming him out so he had to go chase her, but she gets away!

I guess we are to believe that Theo and his girlfriend killed the annoying pranksters and the beauty vlogger because no cops ever showed up? They kind of just left that part off like Marnie ran all the way home and never said a damn thing to anyone about anything, not even her sister (but she had to, right? She was covered in blood or blood like substance). I wish they would have just had a little more on the ending there to make the movie complete. Sure it was nice to see Theos end and that his girlfriend was kinda/maybe a spooky ghost the whole time though but still. Pretty crazy to think Theo would do that just for a video though. I suppose it just goes to show that some people will do anything for other people's attention (please comment, like, reblog, and follow for more reviews).

Review of "Tank Chair" by Manabu Yashiro

(T: Max Greenway, L: Evan Hayden, E: Maggie Le)

Power Fantasies come in lots of different forms. Sometimes they’re about becoming a world leader who can enact lasting change. Sometimes they’re being a big beefy hero with the ability to punch out hitler. Sometimes they’re attaching Boudica Spikes to your wheelchair and taking people out at the ankles for refusing to move out of the way. And when it comes to disabled-on-abled violence, Tank Chair provides one hell of a power fantasy! In a time where people are still claiming that wheelchairs don’t belong in fantasy, Tank Chair gives us a blood thirsty alternative where a wheelchair takes an already deadly assassin and gives them a high speed tank with extra knives. 

Written and drawn by Manabu Yashiro, the series follows two siblings– Nagi and Shizuka Taira – as they make their way through a post-apocalyptic Japan. Nagi is an assassin who, after taking a bullet to the head protecting Shizuka, became comatose and unable to move from the waist down. However, he has a unique ability where he will come back to consciousness anytime he senses a deep desire to kill him. And thus begins Shizuka’s mission to find someone with such an intense desire to murder her beloved older brother, that he comes back around permanently. 

As a mobility aid user, I was initially drawn to the series for rather obvious reasons. Cripple Punk has been around since 2014 but has rarely gotten any mainstream notice. Cripple Punk is the radical idea that disabled people are people, not just inspiration porn to get the ableds to go to the gym. No, “If Alice Tai can have her leg amputated and then win a gold medal 8 months later, what’s stopping you from doing it?” but rather “Holy FUCK how hard core is Alice Tai?! She got her leg removed and then swam 100m in 1 minute 13 seconds?!” Cripple Punk allows for disabled people to be loud, angry and visable. It allows us to misbehave and throw up the middle finger at those who try to fuck with our basic rights. It's been a long time coming that we’ve had a manga that helped embody this, and Tank Chair is off to a great start in reflecting this much needed aesthetic and attitude. 

I was a little anxious when starting the series that it would fall into dangerous “vegetable” stereotypes where Nagi’s lack of consciousness is only played as a joke about taking away his agency and personality. However I was delighted to find that Nagi is still shown to have agency and choice in his situation. He does have some issues with a few of his sister’s choices of mission, but doesn’t appear to be too bothered and it comes across more as sibling banter than anything else. In fact, one of the best parts of the series so far is the relationship between the two siblings! It’s a surprisingly realistic one, where you do feel the genuine love they have for each other – even with some of the more fucked up dynamics at play. For example, how Shizuka is able to awaken Nagi by charging at him with a dagger and genuine pure intent to stab him in the neck. But hey, it’s a nice take on the Cain Instinct by taking the term back to its abrahamic fratricidal origins, rather than the usual cop out of just having siblings thwack each other with wrapping paper tubes. 

Another concern I had was around the idea of them seeking a cure for Nagi. However the series makes it incredibly clear that the only thing the siblings are seeking is for Nagi to regain full consciousness, something definitely worth seeking! I was particularly happy to see Nagi explicitly say that he has found benefits in becoming a chair user! He sees it as a way of bettering his bond with those around him, and also who wouldn’t enjoy charging about in a personal murder tank? 

In terms of design, I’d rather the chair take more inspiration from active sport chairs. Whilst I love that his sister has designed him multiple ones for different tasks and missions, his regular chair feels a little too passive in design despite all the awesome spikes. I do give credit for Nagi’s chair resembling actual wheelchairs, but it's formed around a very basic budget model. The square design and leg clamps might give it that Diesel Punk vibe, but I think the series should continue to embrace the Cripple Punk aesthetic more. In this case therefore, I think it would have been better for it to draw inspiration from the most Cripple Punk Sport in the word: Murder Ball. Also known as Wheelchair Rugby. Chairs for Murder Ball are built more like race karts, with solid steel structures and bumpers. Wheelchair Rugby is probably the most Cripple Punk Sport out there, given that it actively challenges the weak and helpless disabled person stereotype, but is also one of the few full contact mixed gender sports! It also proves to anyone who might think that Nagi’s antics are unrealistic that no – wheelchair users are fully capable of incredible stunts and outrageous blood lust. 

I do have other concerns for the series. So far both disabled characters introduced – Nagi, and Touko Kurosaka – have been used as an instrument for murder. Even if they did choose to be Assasins, there’s still something inherently uncomfortable about how both characters are deliberately sent into action on their siblings orders. Touko in particular is a concern for me, given that she is way more presented as a tool of her brother’s than Nagi is. However, the bonus content at the end of volume one does give me a bit more hope that she will have her story expanded upon and given personality beyond “giant high school girl who can smash people with her fists”. I hope that the current toxic undertones of the Kurosakas’ relationship is just to emphasise the surprisingly loving and balanced relationship between the Taira Siblings.  

On a final note, I’d like to give a shout out to Evan Hayden’s lettering. In my opinion they did an excellent job of matching the style throughout, allowing for a proper 1:1 experience whilst still maintaining Kodansha’s style guide of subtitling rather than completely touching them up. I particularly liked how on page 59, the subtitle was drawn in a way that combined the existing smoke trail to become the “I” of “Kill”.

I’m not usually a fan of excessive violence in manga. I’m not opposed to it, it’s just not for me. I gave Chainsaw Man 3 Volumes and decided that I preferred Fujumoto’s more person-focussed manga like Look Back. Yet I think the personal wish fulfilment of Tank Chair makes it so appealing to me! Whilst I would absolutely recommend it to fans of Chainsaw Man and Dorohedoro, I believe that fans of Run On Your New Legs and Real will also enjoy this athletic narrative of platonic relationships and adapting disabled life. I very much look forward to seeing where this series goes in the future, and hope that we get more Action Packed Cripple Punk series in the future!

Okay so finished book one and ugh spoiler free review as best as I can. First of all 9/10. I would say 10/10 but it’s very clear that this book is like set up to be a duology so like it’s very slow build with a lot of the meat of the story happening in the later half. Which just means that while the beginning is written beautifully is just a little bit meaty to get through cause there’s not that much going on plot wise.

Character wise though there’s a lot. Zhu is such a wonderful protagonist and narrator truly the way she sees the world is so vibrant and they have like an insane fairytale trickster energy to them that I adore. Also despite this not being like a clear genderqueer story (as in it’s not modern so that understanding of gender isn’t really said) she is such amazing representation and I related to her a lot! Her dialogue is so bright and vibrant and full of vitality even in the darker spots it’s great!

Meanwhile Ouyang is this wonderful foil. He’s so deep and angry and bitter and jaded and instead of it feeling like a slog to get through your chomping at the bit reading it. Great unreliable narrator I never knew entirely what he was thinking because even he was so conflicted about it. (For my TGCF girlies he’s extremely He Xuan coded and it’s great).

I can’t wait to see them interact more in the next book. I stand by my statement that their dynamic is gender euphoria sword fighting body dysmoria in a parking lot

Also Ma Xiuying you’re so wonderful and compassionate and angry and full of fire and life I am so so in love with you please yell at more people it’s so sexy of you. It’s so great to get a POV character that is just as intelligent as the other protagonists but while they are both cold thinkers she’s like full of empathy and emotion. I adore her I need more of her in the next book.

Also thank you Shelly Parker Chan for giving me two wonderful insane queer relationships I was surprised by the sex scene (if you know you know but good for her) but it was so well written and perfectly fit in with all the politics and scheming and war.

Anyway on to book 2 but if you haven’t read this yet you should it’s great!

Sparklecare Preboot Review + Departure

Just finished reading the preboot, although I'm not good at critiquing it, here are some thoughts:

I think the original premise of the preboot looks pretty good by today's standards since people wanted to relate their experience to the comic and the colorful aspect of the comic but not everyone is a cup of tea. The writing looks okay, but there are a few good jokes in the comic and some disturbing things here which is why the reboot had better writing from volume 1 to 3. For example, Dr. Livings is very gross due to his necrophiliac fantasy. He looks like a failed Tumblr sexyman that thank god, will not happen in the reboot. The only part that made me chuckle is when Doom killed Miley Smiley with a shredder and President Meat. I honestly wish someone would redesign the preboot President Meat into their own OC. The art style has improved in mid-chapter 1 and then chapter 2 and the writing has slightly stepped up in chapter 2 too.

To be honest, I think it's a pretty good comic to enjoy. Sure, it has pretty disturbing stuff like Kid Dies puking on a fetus but other than that, it's okay. I had to admit, I would've read this preboot if I had stopped playing Roblox back in 2017 and thought it was very cool because I have missed out on everything and I did not even have a social media or even make a Tumblr account when I was 13, meaning I had to focus much on the school back in the elementary. If Kittycorn had to rethink the preboot, she would've tried to soft-reboot instead and remove anything related to bad things like Dr. Livings. Sometimes I missed being a teen.

To anyone what I think of the reboot, it has fixed many issues but up until volume 3, the writing has fallen off and the art style has downgraded with line art becoming limited. That's all I can say about it. As for rating of the reboot, I'll give it 7.5/10.

Rating: 6.5/10

If you're curious on where to read or you want to revisit Sparklecare back in the preboot days, here are the links which you can download it since Wayback Machine is not pretty good at sorting the entire pages, although I don't recommend supporting Kittycorn because she was into very problematic themes.

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

Now I mentioned about the departure earlier so here is what I can say. To all leakers, the community, and the former ZCP members who were teaming up against Kit's true colors, I just wanted to say thank you all for preserving Kittycorn's works and exposing what she was doing. I had a roller coaster of emotions after learning about Kittycorn, though I'm glad people were archiving her contents before she took off every social media and trying to hide it with her different alias if possible.

It was nice talking to you guys. In the end, people will either forget about the comic or come back for their retrospective only to find out the creator being outed as a problematic hanging out with predators, or vice versa. If anything goes well, I'm gonna try to mute the tags related to Sparklecare on social media since I want nothing to do with them unless briefly discussing about it or anything goes big, but don't expect much.

Thank you for reading! I'm gonna step back and try to focus on things like video games, drawing or music.
