#though...with this art style..it almost feels unnecessarily silly sometimes

[diseaseriddencube]

i keep going back to read sparklecare thinking i'll like it but i just...don't

maybe i'm silly but it feels very flat? I still have no real grasp on the characters or attachment to them, I have vague ideas of a few of their main traits but not much else. I'm aware the entire comic is basically vent art, it does just read like a child's fanfic though..not to be insulting to fanfiction, but it does have a certain style or writing or joking to it. I don't dislike it either, but the writing and characters just don't vibe with me, i don't have the words to adequately explain why though

#sparklecare #i love the idea of it all #this hyper saturated hospital themed comic #it was instantly something that interested me #i'm always a sucker for blood and gore under sparkles and neon #perhaps it's just the art style #the thick lines just aren't doing it justice sometimes #panels end up looking so cluttered it's hard to tell what's even happening really #i DO love the website though. the entire web design fucks hard #the design changing with the chapters is absolutely incredible #(though they REALLY need a 'skip to page' button. the volumes have over a hundred pages to individually skip) #i like how much effort they put into trigger warning for things #though...with this art style..it almost feels unnecessarily silly sometimes #like TW vomit and it's a single brush stroke drop of green on the floor #blood is just the most cartoony red blobs i feel like it wouldn't even scare a toddler #even i have trouble looking at needle scenes but i can easily lower the content warning because of the art style #it gives me the vibe of those tumblr bios with dnis and a giant list of mental illnesses from people who don't understand what a squick is #half the faq page feels like 'you can't do this because it makes me uncomfy uwu' #....this entire post is criticism but i'll keep coming back to read it anyways 😍😍
