somtimes comics not posted for other people can still be posted for fun, which im sure was the main focus of this blog. and i gotta say, this was a fun blog. thank you for all the laughs

Yeah, you can post something online without the content specifically being made for other people. Also I've been posting my content online for like 8 years and QKC was the first thing I made that gained any real traction, so I REALLY wasn't expecting it to blow up the way it did.

if the comics weren't for anyone and not meant to gain traction, you should have not posted them online

Thanks for your support ❤

I won't be deleting the blog. To be completely honest I uh... forgot that I could just turn off the ask box. I don't want to remove the blog from Tumblr if so many people still care about the comics.

I really appreciate all the words of support I've gotten and all the people telling me how much joy the comics brought them. I'm glad to know that despite all the negativity I dealt with, I managed to put something good into the world. It's nice to end this on a positive note.

How can we support you other than following this blog?

I’m on Tumblr and Twitter, @brodnork on both. I’m way more active on Twitter than Tumblr, but I do post updates about my work on Tumblr sometimes. Thanks your your support!

I wanna make a longer post about this.

To start things off, I’m just gonna outright officially say Quality Kirby Comic is canceled, and I might delete the blog. 

I hope this doesn’t come across as rude, but Quality Kirby Comic was never “for” other people. It wasn’t “supposed” to get any traction. I’m a comic artist, an animator, and a game developer. I spend a lot of time and effort making projects that are important to me, with good art and good stories. Quality Kirby Comic was just a blog I made one day to post some Kirby shitposts I made every once in a while. That’s it.

I enjoyed making the comics, but for some reason they seemed to attract drama and racist/transphobic/homophobic people. I had to run a Discord server almost entirely alone. One of the mods left because there was too much drama (I can’t blame him), and another just never seemed to be active. For some reason, so many hateful people came in, making horrible “jokes” and gross statements. Every few months or so there would be some massive drama in the Discord server over someone being racist or something, and I was the one who had to deal with it. I had people telling me to keep politics out of my comic (in response to a comic that bashed Donald Trump), and I tried my best to do so to give the people what they wanted. I tried to make my shitposts appeal to the largest audience possible. 

I’d also get lots of asks like the one above, of people complaining that I wasn’t making enough Kirby shitposts in my spare time. I started to hate working on it. I felt pressure to spend more of what little free time I had making something I frankly didn’t care that much about. The more I hated making these comics, the less I did it. The less I did it, the more complaints I would get.

I started to try coming back to the comic a few months ago, but a member of the Discord server directly insulted me twice about two different pretty personal things I’m insecure about. That was the last straw. Quality Kirby Comic is over. 

I know this probably comes across as super complainy, “oh woe is me,” that’s not what I’m trying to do. I’m just trying to explain why I’m not coming back to this blog. This was just supposed to be a thing I did for fun occasionally. I’m tired of dealing with a toxic mini-community, and I’m tired of being told to be quiet about my “political” views. Racism isn’t politics, LGBT rights aren’t politics. I’m non-binary and bisexual, I’m not going to be silent about the issues I face because of hateful people. 

I know this is really long. I’m sorry to be a downer on what’s supposed to be a positive blog. As far as I’m aware, the Discord has gotten way better, but I haven’t been properly active there in months. I still love Kirby to bits, and I really appreciate the people who enjoyed my sense of humour, and I’m really thankful to the fans who weren’t toxic and hateful and complaining, and I’m sorry to those fans that there won’t be any more comics. I had to deal with a lot of negativity just because I wanted to make a handful of shitposts.

I’m going to be spending my time working on the projects that matter. Thank you to everyone who loved Quality Kirby Comic in a wholesome way.

That’s the European name for Canvas Curse right? I think I played a level or two a while back after getting it on the Wii U virtual store.

My wishlist for the next Kirby game, since I’ve been really wanting a new game lately:

Smaller stakes than an All Powerful Something that Wants To Destroy Everything. I loved the final bosses of Robobot and Star Allies, but I’m worried if they keep trying to make more intense bosses they’ll run out of ideas. I wouldn’t mind a smaller threat like Queen Sectonia again.

A new aesthetic/theme, like in Triple Deluxe or Planet Robobot. 

A bit more solid explanations of lore. At this point, we know next to nothing about the lore. There’s just stuff we can kind of guess at based on vague references and implications. 

waddle dee...........

Does Kirby turn one every year?? That’s adorable

Kirby’s a baby and I wanna celebrate his birthday and I can’t imagine him actually being 27 years old so that was my solution 

[qualitykirbycomic]

I’m really glad my posts can help people. I’ve always seen Kirby as a bit of an inspiration in my life, I want to help anyone I can and make people happy. I’m always going to try to make the world a better place. Thank you for letting me know how happy these comics make you, it definitely assures me that I’m doing something right with my time.
