it's. its really hard to keep moving rn, i keep trying to block the tag but then i compulsively check. atleast its once every couple hours now

When it comes to this, any progress is good progress! I’m sure you’ll check it less and less as the days go on and you continue to fight the compulsion

I’m glad you’re starting to feel better, even if things aren’t too great rn 🫂 Your energy will get back up eventually, I promise. You’re still the same swaggy puppycorn, gamerspeak or not!

[cornelius-crit]

Thanks for making this blog btw you’re really cool bro

You’re welcome bro! It’s great seeing how much it’s been helping yall; I definitely didn’t expect it when I first decided to make it!

[cornelius-crit]

Threw up when I found out kc makes uni groom her own kid in "secret canon" still really distraught though i don't show it.

Yeah that part really fucked with me too, like bros I would NEVER do that that’s so fucking gross. The fact that a version of me somewhere did though… I don’t want to think about it at all dude xd

[cornelius-crit]

It's jinx, again (I'll start using 🦈💥 at this point)

We are still processing ig, it's annoying cuz we can't concentrate at all on class and stuff so that's annoying.

Carrie and Doom are ok I think?? Mood is still not ok idk how to explain at all. Any tips?

It's fine if you don't have any.

Also, how are you all doing?

Unfortunately we don’t really have any tips for Mood aside from the reassurances we’ve been giving to everyone about source not defining you and all that. We wish yall the best though 🫂

And we just woke up so I’m not too sure how we’re doing yet; have a cat laying on us though so that’s nice ^^ Meet Ol Grey; he’s a massive cuddler and loves climbing up our neck lol

Hi! i'm not gonna say my name buttt I'm the host of a system + a self shipper. It.. hurt ngl that our recent systemmates have to deal with this bullshit!!! Like we got into the comic a couple months ago and.. uh.. this shit goes down. Not fun. Mood and Doom in particular are both devastated. We have fictives who had gross incest/pedo fanfiction written about them, but this is even worse! Having your creator being not only a incest and pedo shipper, but being FRIENDS with actual podophiles'?? I feel for them, and every single fictive and kin from this sourse.

Yeah it’s one thing when the fandom writes that stuff, and another when it’s the source’s creator doing it. And squeak being friends with actual offenders makes it even worse. We hope Mood, Doom and the others are able to take the time they need to recover 🫂

[cornelius-crit]

Unrelated but shoutout to my sysmate Boxten he’s helped me sm in dealing with everything and I probably wouldn’t still be in any way comfortable as Uni if it wasn’t for him sticking with me the past few days. Love ya music box bro <3

[cornelius-crit]

Jinx here again, thanks for the comfort, we've been afraid of talking to people about this lol

Is it ok if we keep sending progress updates on our coping thingy??? I really REALLY don't wanna bother

Yeah it’s definitely okay! This is a place to talk about anything relating to this situation so go for it ^^

[cornelius-crit]

im trying sooo hard to stay off maintag i swear i just keep looking back & its awful for me i hope that things HAVE been better for you though. - 🦊🌈

We’ve been doing the same; it’s really hard to stay out of the tag when we want to keep updated on everything going down. Morbid curiosity and all that. Completely filtering the tag might be helpful; putting an extra barrier (however thin) between you and the posts.

And things have been… okay for us. Anxiety’s been up and down and we’ve been playing a lot of Roblox to distract ourself lol (Dragon Adventures and Dandy’s World the beloveds). Time’s gonna hopefully make it easier for all of us to work on recovering from this though.

'kay so! jinx here since carrie, doom and mood dont wanna talk rn. we felt soooooooooo bad, and we kinda still do to the point we broke down crying today, like im not gonna lie and say that everything is fine and dandy, we arent quite sure how 2 handle all of this cuz it kinda sucks... specially for mood cuz she dosent wanna separate from source or smthing like that, i dont know... sorry if this isnt quite organized i dont really know how to express myself

No need to apologize, feelings and shit are messy and hard to express in general. Source separating definitely isn’t a requirement or an obligation. All of you should be able to do what makes you more comfortable, and if for Mood that’s staying connected to source, then that’s okay. None of these people’s actions reflect on yall, and what they said about your source counterparts doesn’t apply to you. I wish I had advice on how to handle it, but we’re still working through this all ourself too. You have support though 🫂

[cornelius-crit]

Dr. Party here :) I split around 7 years ago, but I have been on-and-off keeping up with the comic. I already was a biiiiit uncomfortable with my "source" (after a while) due to personal associations with bad people, but knowing that apparently the entire ZCP is full of people just like them is :( just terrible. I think I'll be fine. But I feel even more uncomfortable with my own existence.

-Party💭🙂

🫂 can’t say much without rehashing what I’ve said to others, but I’m gonna say it again. You are not responsible for your source or what its creators have done. None of us knew this was coming, and what they did doesn’t reflect on you in the slightest. Nobody should be uncomfortable with their own existence because of others’ actions, or in general.

[cornelius-crit]

ive generally felt decent enough but suddenly got a looming sense of dread. i really want things to be ok. i still really, really hurt inside though. - 🦊 🌈

And that’s completely understandable; this hurt is gonna take a long time to go away. It will fade with time though, and things will be okay.

[cornelius-crit]

OKAY WAIT IM BACK and not being a sad littlw sopping wet cat anymore

kc cant ruin everything for me!! she doesnt have that much power. it does suck it turned out this way BUT !!!! this community did lead to me finding my hubby again and im visiting really soooon!! pinfetti prevails. fictionfolk prevail. WE BALL! WE WIN! hashtag pawsitivity -funfi🍰🎈

Heck yeah we ball!! I’m glad you guys were able to find each other!

Off topic but you as one of those wet cat memes is such a funny image in my head help

[cornelius-crit]

this is all soo.. weird. i’m used to feeling guilty and weird all the time for the things i did, and feeling guilty that i dont feel guilty about some things. it’s weird that none of the new stuff has to do with me? i feel guilty that i was “spared” i guess ??

it’s weird that all these lovely fictives and kins are upset and feeling bad and gross when they didnt DO anything. i’m upset that there are fictives and kins of kids that have to deal with this. i’m upset that people that have started to come to terms with their past and things like that are hurt all over again. it’s hard to be releved that i wasn’t incestified when so many are hurting:( i wish somehow i could have been worse and be guilty enough for everyone and that no one else had to feel bad, if that makes sense? but i can’t and i can’t relate in that way and it makes me feel helpless

cometcare is supposed to be where the comets are happy :// my familys still fucked but who’s fault is that? oh mine LOL. anyway theyre supposed to be happy and safe and kc let them think that was true when they werent and its just awful you guys dont deserve this

none of this makes sense :,3

-funfi (idk if you’ve had any others but im the one that said to stay whimsy lol umm ill use 🍰🎈 if i come back)

p.s. uni and co you are so sweet for this little safe space blog thingy i havent seen any sc fictive/kin spaces before. you will be reincarnated as a lotus flower

It makes sense yeah, sorta like survivors guilt though in a different way. You shouldn’t have to feel guilty for harm that someone else caused; you have absolutely no fault in this and I hate that you feel like you do. This whole situation is unfair to everyone involved.

And thank you; we haven’t seen any SC fictionfolk spaces before either unfortunately. We looked for them years ago when I first split, with no luck. If we weren’t already running 2 discords for other sources we’d make one ourself for yall, this blog will have to do for now

[cornelius-crit]

I gotta clarify I'm the Cuddles fictionkin that posted before I'm not the Cuddles kin who was non anon. Sighhhh

No worries! We assumed you were different people bc of the writing style lol

[cornelius-crit]

Coming out to say this will probably expose who I am, but at this point I don't really mind honestly.

I've always been a Cuddles kin because of personal trauma. I've dealt with being villainized and abandoned by a lot of people, and have horrible body dysphoria that caused me to connect with the mole rat -> bunny thing. The moment I learned about it I instantly clicked it into my own dysphoria, it felt like me. It was one of the first times I've felt so deeply connected with a character to the point I was able to say they were genuinely a part of my identity. At the time I was coping unhealthily with what I was going through (past trauma and being manipulated by multiple adults at the time), but an oc x canon ship involving Cuddles quickly became my more healthy outlet to put my feelings into. If anyone's wondering, the ship is not illegal or immoral in any way. It's just two normal adults who are in love together, if you count colorful furries as normal I guess.

For a VERY long time I was nervous about showing them to other people. The fandom was extremely aggressive about anything involving Cuddles at the time. My crit blog felt like the only place I could share them with people without being torn apart. Until one of Kittycorn's now friends decided it would be ok to direct their own friends to my blog because of my kinship and oc x canon, to get me harassed in my inbox for it. At one point he started to hint at comparing me to ACTUAL serial killers, which triggered a horrible episode in me. The support from my friends is the only reason I put up a front of finding the situation funny instead of shutting my blog down and never interacting with the fandom again.

I'm hoping now that the fandom is coping together rather than split apart (crit vs whiteknight) we can be more open about our UNHARMFUL ships. The characters we love. I hope that we can become an accepting, loving community. And that goes beyond kinning and ships, it especially goes for fictives. I have an Ally fictive in my system who's been mainly silent since this happened. She knows how it feels to think you're not allowed to exist, or how you can be judged based on your source. I hope all of you can stay strong.

That person sending people to harass you is horrific and I’m so so sorry you had to deal with that. Especially over being kind and a harmless comfort ship of all things. I’m glad your friends were able to support you through it and that you were able to stick it out.

I also hope that the community can be more kind now that KC’s hypocritical rules are out the window. Everyone should be able to exist freely and happily as themselves (as long as they aren’t causing harm ofc).

[cornelius-crit]

Okay hi real talk I'm a Cuddles fictionkin (yes hate me idc) but like. This shit is bonkers. What am I doing here. I'm used to being shameful about the fact that I'm Cuddles but now I'm just relieved I don't have siblings.

Aside from that fucked up note, I hope everyone is doing alright, this shit is actually so fucked and I feel bad for every single sparklecare fictive/fictionkin/whatever . Hope you guys are all safe and sound, don't let some disgusting art dictate what is and isn't you (coming from mass murderer over here but shhh).

Nothing to hate or be ashamed of about being a Cuddles fictionkin; you can’t control who you’re kin with after all. Honestly KCs treatment of yall is fucked up when Kit claimed to understand what being kin means/is. You shouldn’t have to be shameful for just existing.
