CW categories and suggestions
Content warnings are put into generalized categories because smaller categories may become difficult to maintain, as some things may come up and be added later as the comic goes on.
If you have a trigger/squick/general uncomfortable thing and you don't know what category it goes under, feel free to review the content warning masterlist.
Unsure of what category your trigger/squick is under, and it isn't listed anywhere? Feel free to leave a comment on the masterlist for clarification.
Have a category suggestion or suggestion for a specific page?Click here! Not everything is possible to be accounted for, but if there's something major I overlooked in error, please give feedback!
What are series?
Sparklecare as a story is separated into 3 "acts" that are titled "series". The reason they're called series is because each series has a different story and different protagonist. Everything Sucks, series 1, focuses on Barry as the protagonist.
There's currently only one series out right now and no information about what makes the other series "different" from series 1 is available at this point in time, but someday you'll understand!
