#mod hemera

this is true, but shekann's name feels particularly egregious to me. don't know why

i just finished reading the kissmas and what the shit throughout this entire comic uni pressures carrie into inviting over doom (who remember) was an abuser to carrie and carrie abused him back (vomit bucket scene) and carrie being uncomfortable for the entire comic is framed as them being jealous and trying to isolate uni from being polyamorous and at one point uni goes "Why is it ok for you To be with other people like Jay or Kiki but I'm not allowed to be with Doom?" but the polyamory isnt the fucking issue the issue was (by the comics logic of metaphors) doom being an abuser and uni is a bitch throughout this entire thing calling carrie jealous telling doom that 'carrie just need to get over herself' and appearantly forgot to mention that this kissmas party only had carrie and doom the most troublesome pair and then when she starts fucking flirting and hugging carries abuser and carries upset uni acts all fucking surprised and in the end it all works out for this fucking 'precious cinnamon roll bun' uni even tho she made both her partners uncomfortable mocked carrie and then the comic ends with a fucking kiss between carrie and doom with the bs 'oh ive always cared for and like you' bitch does throwing vomit on your crush scream 'i love you take me away in a fucking bridal carry and make out with me sloppy style then fuck me in bed' cuz it sure as shit doesnt scream that to me and over all it felt really rushed for the relationship going straight from hate to kissing and blaming it all on carrie for being a jealous witch - uni

talking from someone who kindof connected and has Carrie as a small comfort character, kissmas did NOT feel right at the slightest. for example how Uni was constantly mocking Carrie for being uncomfortable with their abuser like wtaf??? and the fact that caroom was all just "oohhh I always loved you!" no the fuck you didn't. (at least carrie didn't.) does lashing out and throwing a whole bucket of Barry's vomit scream "I LOVE YOU"??? it really doesn't the whole idea of all the relationships between all the characters just feels so unorganized and so, SO messy. like why the FUCK does it end with Carrie always going "oh uni is precious she does no wrong!!!" wasn't there a whole volume where Uni literally did so much shit wrong? even including the entirety of Uni's dialogue towards Carrie and how Uni even made Carrie's current partners uncomfortable. (this is mostly agreeing with Mod Uni) - 📎

I think the events in Kisswas happened choppily and honestly Carrie was VERY reasonable to not want their girlfriend talking to their abuser or inviting him over??!?!!🙀 also the fact that Uni had to push Carrie to even agree with Doom coming over is a RED FLAG pushing is not a staple in consent!! very weird? -🧁

This is adding more fuel to my fire that kit can only comprehend stories with shipping tbh.

several of us mods are aro and several of us also have partners, being aro doesn't mean you can't date anyone, so i don't agree that anything is being "erased". there's not anything in the comic that indicates hemera would or wouldn't date anyone outside of the hospital, which is an incredibly traumatic place, OR that she would or would not want a child. in fact, i don't think it's out of character of her to have a child at all! i think it fits with her character themes of wanting to protect others and having a nurturing role towards her plants. rather, i think the issue lies in how it's treated on a larger scale-- all of the queerplatonic relationships in cometcare are basically just romantic with extra steps, and all the aro/ace characters have children regardless. every relationship we see is heavily sanitized, along with all of them being... basically the same? there's no diversity in how each character handles their relationships. i find it very hard to believe that every aspec character would have children, let alone several with different partners.

come to think of it, why does each pairing only have one kid with each other...? couples often have more than one child.

for that matter, even the names of the countries are stupid. remembering where is which is borderline impossible because of the naming scheme; would it have killed the crew to come up with something unique with proper respect to the lore instead of what sounds like the first thing that came to mind, only because they thought it was 'funny?'

it's weird. imagine having to explain to your child that one, or both, or ALL of their parents are just... not real. it's so strange

YOU'RE SO RIGHT THOUGH ANON. self inserts are fine, in my opinion, if they're done well. keyword well.

which jay is not. jay is a bad character.

in fact, let's go over some things we know about jay:

they have incredible luck

they're creative and like to draw

they're very determined

they tend to be scatterbrained

they're often conflicted

they try to be helpful

their likes according to the wiki are "drawing, ferries, video games, cartoons, reading, trying new things, being helpful, staying up late, their friends"

their dislikes are "inability to control situations or their luck, waking up early, being pushed around, being bored"

you know who else is creative and likes drawing, is helpful and plays video games? UNI! you know who else is determined and doesn't like being pushed around? CAROLINE! LITERALLY EVERY THING ABOUT JAY IS SOMETHING ALREADY DONE BETTER BY OTHER CHARACTERS. the only unique thing about jay is their luck magic, that might as well be plot armor - which, go figure, also applies to uni and barry. even the main driving plot of volume 2 applies better to uni than to jay. they are a useless character, and actively drag down the comic with them because of it. i hope to god that they get development in volume 5.

not to mention they were supposedly made by a comshipper. if anyone has more info on this please let us know.

"for real justice" blogs originated from a blog called sonic for real justice, which was a satirical anti-sjw blog that was purposefully over the top and incredibly dramatic. within the blog there were several mods (though they were played by only two or three people, if i remember correctly) who constantly fought with each other to comedic effect. if you're interested, here are some videos detailing the blog's shenanigans. the popularity of the original blog led to several people making their own similarly styled accounts and sideblogs for many other fandoms.
