Your art is amazing. Do you have anything you wish had happened in the books or anything you would have changed
thank you for the compliment and for asking!! I’m so sorry I didn’t respond earlier, I was off the site for a while cuz I had some opportunities I wanted to focus on irl. honestly my answer depends on whether I’m doing my OWN version of the stories or just modifying the old ones. If I was doing my own take I would change everything cuz that’s more fun. If I was just modifying them, I would change the things I feel are harmful… like the way the series in general approaches Sabrina’s trauma. I think it would be more helpful to kids reading who have similar trauma and behavior patterns as Sabrina if the other characters treated her with more understanding and actually acknowledged WHY she acted that way and tried to help her feel safe again. I feel like acknowledging her response to serious trauma as normal AND clarifying that adults should HELP you when you feel that way would add a lot to the series. I think we’re both Canis stans and if ANYONE should have been there for her like that, it should have been him. Like he GETS it, he’s basically going through a more metaphorical version of her trauma symptoms, HE just gets less grief for it. He should have interacted with the kids more in general and it would have been so sweet if he’d reached out to her to try to help her deal with her problems too. like help her meditate or something idk don’t just stand there in the corner being scary… in my mind there’s a version where they actually talk to each other and remind each other that they’re not monsters even if they feel that way sometimes
🎃☆*:.｡. a very GRIMM halloween .｡.:*☆🎃
Hey everybodyyy I am still puttering around over here just so you know. I lurk in the tags often but work has been kicking my tush so I am not too active. I love our itty bitty community I hope you guys are doing welllllllllll

Me: I haven't read Sisters Grimm in a while! I should get back to that!
Me barely three pages in: ohhhh that's that's right, the incessant ableism. hello again.
yeah the amount of just ableism and overall attitude towards mental health in those books really upsets me especially since young kids read them and are easily influenced
Tbh it’s downright offensive- and kind of vilifies those with mental health issues at times however there are a few insightful things said by the grandma about red that I liked
Oh, I could write a BOOK about how nasty the books are about mental illness. And as someone who is mentally ill, I keep reading the books because the characters are so well-fleshed out and vibrant (yes, it is possible to like and be insulted by media). However...
TW for ableism and fatphobia. There is something SEVERELY weird about how Michael Buckley directly pinpoints mentally ill people as a butt of the joke or as something evil. The wolf's madness is just pure EVIL. That's not how madness works.
There's some point where the narrator says that the nurse had the "unpleasant task" of looking after Red to explain why she eats so much. Unpleasant?! It's her fking JOB to be looking after Red. Is she qualified? No but that's not the point. It's like saying a construction worker had the unfortunate task of lifting bricks. It's your JOB. Even worse, the NURSE is fatshamed too.
Canis' suicidal tendencies are also neglected and his mental health is, to me, the most interesting of the entire series.
There's a whole chapter where they make fun of the Little Mermaid's eating disorder (complete with a line that reads 'the "little" mermaid' AND a grotesque sketch, I felt physically sick reading that chapter).
They basically only cure Red's illness just to get her on a witness stand.
The narrator lists off the horrible guardians Sabrina and Daphne have had and one of the reasons is LITERALLY just because the person was schizophrenic. And Sabrina has blatant internalized-ableism that is completely ignored by the narrator and other characters.
I could go on. Now, I dunno where Buckley is or what he's doing. But the amount of explicit ableism in those books is so staggering that I really hope someone is telling him about this. It's not like Harry Potter where JK Rowling kinda hides her racism (not really her fatphobia). It is so outward that it is distracting from the prose itself. And it's on, like, every third page.
I really like the books for so many reasons, such as the ones given. And once I have time, I am interested to finally finish them. They're quite good children's novellas with great characters (Mr Canis kinda changed my life, not even an exaggeration). But wowee. What was going on with Buckley that he wrote...
All of that.
Not to mention there is only one character of color and she dies in like the worst way.. Anticlimactic. Some flimsy white man is smacked by jabberwocky through a bathroom door into a tile wall and is literally unharmed but Briar is smacked similarly and is just dead.
And he pulled a jk rwling with making Basil gay but only on Twitter.. Theres one gay character and it's. The baby. !!!!
But Micheal Buckley is generally a good guy, I think... He was vocally pro-lgbt, pretty left leaning and was very vocally pro-civil rights & racial equality on his twitter. he left twitter I'm assuming after musk took over but I do think he has good intentions.. having had my parents buy me the books when I was a kid has me conflicted, knowing what I know now would i choose to financially support him? I don't really know. His books painted a different story than his Twitter and I don't know which version is how he really views people.
And this is my perspective as a fat person and a psychotic person and a person of color. and....obviously a gay person LOL. Has anyone read any of his more recent series? Id be interested to see if he still carries these offensive tones throughout the newer stuff. I would like to think that he has since matured a little.
Well anyway he was relatively easy to contact on Twitter but these days I'm not sure where to find him. I know he has a 'contact me' slip on his website but what are the chances hed see it? Maybe we oughta make a little petition or something like that.. All 4 of us sisters grimm fans on tumblr LOL
