This is kind of random but do you know Min Cai's gender identity? I can't find anything in TSC or TGR that says. Thanks!

I do yeh!

Min's pronouns are she/her!

From memory the line that had her pronouns in got cut but it's there to spot in this exchange in Ch 11

Sebastian frowned over at them. “Does he even like girls? He got scooped up by the floozies so fast. Ouch, what was that for?” he protested when Shawn stepped on his foot. Shawn sent a quick gesture toward Xavier, and Sebastian blanched when he realized his misstep. “Hell, sorry, didn’t mean it like that."

(also cause I think he's the only other not mentioned nurse Binh Ngyuen's pronouns are he/him) 😁

KIMCHI'S GONE TO NYC!! I'm currently on a road trip with Dr. Elisabeth Sheff (author of "the Polyamorists Next Door"), and I've drawn us as Thelma and Louise for some reason...

Anyway, we're on our way to speak with several other amazing folks at the Curious Fox event Consider This: Challenging the Status Quo in Sex & Relationships. Get your ticket using the code FOXYFRIENDS20 for a discount!

I will be back to regularly posting comics by next weekend! I will try to post interesting things about my shenanigans while on the road too, (and as always, will post my comic idea sketches and other tidbits on the Patreon page): https://www.patreon.com/kimchicuddles

would you happen to know the list of trigger warnings in tgr? thank you!

Hullo!

I just chatted to Nora abt this and we are pretty confident that the list she gave for TSC (here) still covers TGR.

But also if you're particularly worried about any of the things here or if you have any particular triggers that aren't here but you're worried about you can DM me or ask for more info closer to release as some answers would be spoilers.

is there a reason why you don't read andreil anymore?

Hi, sorry for the late reply I’ve been at work all morning. But there are a few reasons tbh. Most prominently is my adversity to the tfc fandom and the shift in energy/content it went through about 2.5 years ago.

I had been in the fandom since before it was a fandom and so was very involved in a lot of the fandom wide conversations and drama. But about a year-year and a half in the attitudes and energy the majority of fans had really began to shift away from something that I was happy or comfortable being a part of. More and more of the people I was coming into contact through the fandom were not people that I wanted to have anything to do with based on their behaviour/attitudes and the way they treated other fans/opposing parties in the seemingly endless drama at the time. It was the epitome of fandom wank and I didn’t like that I was, by association, anything to do with it.

Along with this was my struggle with balancing my acquaintance (may I call it a passing friendship) with Nora herself and my love for her original/canon content and the ever growing fanon that was taking the fandom by storm. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with fanon/headcanon but for me and with these books (the main cast of characters) it wasn’t something I enjoyed as content and yet it was by far and away the majority of what I was seeing on my dash/in the tags at the time. It didn’t feel like I was reading about the characters or book that I knew and had loved for years by then.

This disenchantment with the fandom proper as it stood at the time coincided with my university completely screwing me over and draining me of all of my emotional/mental energy and seriously negativity effecting my mental health. So all in all I simply was not in a place where the tfc fandom did anything other than make a bad day worse. Everyday. It made the two have a correlative effect for me in terms of my emotional/mental response. The tfc fandom/fandom proper made me feel like shit and stressed me out almost worse than my degree did some days.

So i removed myself from it as much as I could without cutting off all the friendships I had made over the years and focused solely on the trojans/Jerejean and the sub-fandom that was growing around them and I never looked back (tho I am now basically completely inactive on that topic too on here it’s all just in a group chat these days)

I still see tfc on my dash but I very very rarely interact with any of it. And I don’t intend to ever try to step back into the fold of the main fandom and honestly I didn’t really expect my gut response to the fandom to ever change and I was okay with that. I didn’t/don’t feel any need to try and hold onto what this fandom was for me 3/4 years ago. But after nearly 3 years of not reading anything for andreil other than from a few very very select people it’s definitely a mark of the time/distance I have had that I don’t immediately feel mildly uncomfortable about considering reading fic on my dash.
