[cratercare]

so, about this au...

some more misc info about my sparklecare ocs is on this toyhouse bulletin: https://toyhou.se/~bulletins/2486541.regarding-sparklecare-read-warning

i will NOT be continuing this au. i don't want anything to do with cometcare.

i might even delete this blog, i'm not too sure at the moment.

what kittycorn has done is disgusting. squeak exposed minors to her fetish for YEARS without their knowledge. it should go without saying that incest is DISGUSTING and i do not support it, even in fiction. my heart goes out to victims of this behavior.

what do we think .. should they have 2 cogs now.. this one is a golden/lab cog!

i received a suggestion to make funkie a seeing-eye cog for uni, and i Love that idea!! i’m finally working on funkie’s ref (because … i am making a tiny funkie sorry. she’s important to me)

(ramble/question under cut)

after looking into funkie more, it seems like she has some sort of back problem that makes it painful for her to be touched back there, which makes me wonder if she’s able to walk/travel long distances (or something long for a cog). tossed around the idea of her being a retired guide cog, and as her back pain got worse they retired her.

(thinking out loud here, bear with me!)

maybe the comets have another cog, one that they’ve trained to be a guide cog as funkie retires? funkie gets a friend .. wasn’t sure if this was the most logical/best conclusion or if others would like the idea of a different pet being uni’s service animal!

(please inform me if i got any terms wrong or made any mistakes! :D and of course, i’d love to hear suggestions regarding a seeing eye cog!)

(side note, left out the person’s name who requested this just in case they didn’t want it shared. if you’d like credit please lmk!)

I gotta know the nature of doom and Barry's relationship now... I love doomry and this is soooo interesting to me

it's... complicated!

barry and doom are not married to each other in this au, just partners. they love each other a ton, but both of them have some fears regarding . being together.

it won't be mentioned outright in the au i don't think, given how the parents don't want to mention the hospital, but barry struggles with fully trusting doom-- given how skull worked for the hospital and was present in the "it never gets better" scene.

despite how much the other comets vocalize their love for him, doom feels as if he doesn't "belong" with them, and that he doesn't deserve them. this is the same for barry, but a little different because of how hesitant barry was to the idea. skull feels guilty. he knows barry loves him, and he loves barry, but he can't forget what he's done. it's easier with the others-- in this au, doom wasn't present for uni or polly's initial "treatments".

having eve helped a little bit... but of course, now there's an issue of conflicting parenting styles. barry strongly believes eve should be disciplined or called out for her behavior in some form, while doom fears that could make her behavior worse.

(not related to the comic or this au, just boundary stuff)

regarding some recent crit stuff, i just wanted to say, please do NOT interact if you ship barroline (barry x caroline) or support the ship. it makes me super uncomfortable! also please dni if you hc barry as a non-man.

realizing i never said this on this blog too… PROS/HIPPERS DNI! GET OUT! da/rkship comsh/ip whatever Get! Out!!!

again sorry for the off-topic post, just setting some boundaries.

cratercare au: kids pt1

splitting this into 2 batches!! presenting… half of the cometkids!

(brief profiles under cut)

MARCO KLEPSKY

#1 Tech Fan

Name: Marco Klepsky

Gender: Transgender man (he/him)

Orientation: Gay

Description: As the oldest of the Cometkids, Marco feels that he had to grow up too quick. If that wasn’t enough, he hardly gets any *proper* sleep, and always feels tired. From his narcolepsy, to his job as a cashier, to his siblings, to his parents… He enjoys computer science and technology, and video games help take his mind off of things!

SLITE “SLY” LI ILL

#1 Comics Fan

Name: Slite “Sly” Li Ill

Gender: Cis man?… (publicly he/him) (online, uses she/fen)

Orientation: Demiromantic bisexual

Description: Sly is a big fan of art, comics, and creating OCs! Sly struggles with depression (among other things), which has severely impacted Sly’s relationship with others. Sly is a lot more social online, and enjoys participating in the (online) ferrie community!

ALLY STAR CORNELIUS

#1 Space Fan

Name: Ally Star Cornelius

Gender: Non-binary woman (she/kit)

Orientation: Bisexual

Description: Ally is a lover of all things space-related, from astronomy to UFOlogy! She enjoys spending time with her parents, and oftentimes wishes kit didn’t feel so embarrassed by her dad… Ally has a very short temper, and this anger is part of why she feels alienated from others in her family.

EVELYN “EVE” ILL

#1 Sports Fan

Name: Evelyn “Eve” Ill

Gender: Cis girl (she/squeak)

Orientation: Bisexual

Description: Eve is the troublemaker of the family… She loves sports, dinerries, and most of all: causing chaos. Eve seeks attention, and finds it easiest to get when she’s being mean. Squeak thinks all squeaks cruel words and boundary-pushing is understood as a “loving joke”, but for everyone else it isn’t.

-

No major design changes for these kiddos! Aside from giving Marco some more body hair… No star pupils for Ally because I tried to make kits design a little less crowded?… (totally not because i forgot)

Sly has “bad coping” colors, this was inspired by @/winterfeverscare ‘s “True Colors” series! Definitely go check em out, along with their edits + comics! I never really noticed Ally and Eve have beards, but I love it!!! I didn’t realize Uni had one when I made her ref, so I made sure to include it for these two. I imagine Ally puts her eyelashes on everyday like that panel of Doom from the preboot.

[cratercare]

just putting a lil note out here, sorry for the lack of posts!

i'm currently working on the refs for the cometkids!

2/7 done, 2 more in the works, and then 3 i still need to start! i will say that there aren't MAJOR design changes for most of these, just small color tweaks and very minor stylistic choices i made.

in the meantime, here's the plans for what refs to work on next!! (under the cut!)

first batch of nearparents (caroline, hemera, jay, till, miley, bec, and maybe someone else? >:3)

first batch of nearsiblings (of the parents above)

first batch of "young loves" (howie, carl)

possible break from refs, hoping to do some fun stuff! maybe the comets answer some asks? maybe some panel redraws? not sure yet!

extended family

first batch of familiar faces (piñata, funfetti, puppy, faerie)

second batch of nearparents (mel, cyn, and others!)

second batch of nearsiblings (literally just ocs i'm making for this au sorry guys)

another potential break, planning to do some "lore" art this time :]

second batch of familiar faces (secrettt...)

second batch of young loves (scrap, lessie. is lessie considered one?)

if you have any questions about who will/won't appear, i'd love to answer!! i'm having a ton of fun drawing these guys :D

[cratercare]

cratercare au: parents

here they are! the first references of the au— the cometparents! i decided not to change their last name to crater because i truly love them being the comets, and the origin of their last name.

(brief profiles under cut)

BARRY ILL COMET

#1 Science Fan

Name: Barium “Barry” Ill Comet

Gender: Transgender man (he/him)

Orientation: Arospec biromantic demisexual

Description: Barry is a physicist and lover of all things science. He values family, education, and honesty. The dad that loves helping with homework, that always embarrasses you in front of your friends, and also the dad that you *really* don’t want to be disappointed in you.

UNI CORNELIUS

#1 Video Games Fan

Name: Uni Cornelius Comet

Gender: Transfeminine* (she/any)

Orientation: Queer aegosexual

Description: Uni is a digital artist and gaming KneeTuber. She’s definitely considered the cool mom, and many of her kids confide in her when they make mistakes. They love sewing, playing FPS and RPG games, drawing, and being with their family.

POLARIS “POLLY” KLEPSKY COMET

#1 “Borrowing” Fan

Name: Polaris “Polly” Klepsky Comet

Gender: No label (all pronouns)

Orientation: Arospec queer

Description: Polly is a sculptor and generally very artistic. She keeps notes throughout the day to help with memory, and her family is a big help when it comes to that. The kids consider them easy to get along with, and enjoy watching them work.

DOOM COMET

#1 Animation Fan

Name: Mood Doom Mood Doom Comet (Doom Comet)

Gender: Agender (he/they/skull)

Orientation: Bisexual

Description: Doom works for an animation studio and loves his work. They’re a big fan of emo music and always have been, and find comfort in it. Skull loves skulls family deeply, and is thankful for their unending support and love. However, sometimes Doom seems rather distant…

*Uni uses no specific term to describe her gender other than “transfem”. -

I’m a little new to tumblr formatting, so I hope this works good!

Just to note, Uni’s goggles are *not* magic and do not help them see. She has the same limited vision as she does in Sparklecare, and their house is accommodated for to make things more comfortable for her and Polly in terms of getting around.

I couldn’t decide whether to give Uni partial or no vision, so if anyone has a suggestion or better idea please let me know! For the time being, it will be as I explained above. Thank you!

[cratercare]

in my heart this is still caring comet.

caring comet is actually based . mind if i use it unless i find another one -🎃🦇

GO FOR IT!!

[cratercare]

what are the changes from the normal AU?

thank you for asking! :D

in my opinion, most of the changes aren't too big, but they're special to me at least. some of the main changes are:

pollarrydoomi is still the central ship, but barry and doom are just partners, not married. their relationship is the most rocky out of all the comets, but they try not to show it.

pollarry met in a completely different manner while in the hospital. this probably won't be mentioned outside of barry reminiscing on the first time he spoke to polly. (basically barry is Respectful to polly and not weird)

chloe is solely hemera's kid. hemera lives alone with her daughter and is completely happy with that! she's still in a qpr with some of the comet parents though!

blair, soob, and possibly alphie are not doom's kids. sorry doom. as an extension of that, i can say for certain that miloom is not apart of this au. sorry miloom fans.

fur saturation is something noticed among anthries. the comet parents take notice of this.

uni cannot see 100% perfect. her goggles are not magic, and she remains with very limited vision like in the main comic (sparklecare). this may change to having no vision at all, but for the time being she is still visually impaired. she uses a white cane when outside of the house. uni wears her goggles as a means of "protecting" and not scaring her kids.

the house is accommodated for uni and polly! trying to work out the specifics right now.

the parents care about their kids a Little more. please?

these are all the main ones i can think of! some others are just tiny design changes (and by that i mean the SMALLEST amount of differences) and tiny background details (like the mock less monster having an anthry/anthry adjacent form)

[cratercare]

SO EXCITED FOR THIS :-DD!!!!!

i’m glad!! hope i can deliver :D
