soc_puppetHi, everyone! It's time for Thursday Recs!
This week I'm recommending a webcomic, but with a heap of warnings and disclaimers.
Awful Hospital is the story of a young mother who is trapped in the hospital dimension and is trying to find and possibly rescue her mysteriously ill infant son. There's a colorful cast of characters that range from a (literally and figuratively) crooked spine, to a human-shaped stain, to a giant bactereophage, and more. The main character herself is aromantic, and two of the female characters she meets end up in a romantic relationship with each other as well.
That said, there is a fair amount to warn for! If (cartoony) blood, guts, medical trauma, medical abuse, child illness and endangerment, unsanitary situations, some unreality, and general existential horror/weirdness (among other things) are squicks or triggers for you, you may want to give it a miss. It's also presented in the style popularized by Homestuck, so it's not very accessible, either, and a few flash animations that were included early in the comic are now completely broken. The comic still somehow manages to be wholesome and fun as opposed to gritty and depressing, but I fully understand that it's not for everyone.
Do you have a rec for this week? Just reply to this post with something queer or queer-adjacent (such as, soap made by a queer person that isn't necessarily queer themed) that you'd, well, recommend. Self-recs are welcome, as are recs for fandom-related content!
Or have you tried something that's been recced here? Do you have your own report to share about it? I'd love to hear about it!
