Have you ever seen a show that has an incredibly diverse cast of characters, many well-known and talented cast members, great humour, many queer characters, a lot of carefully handled mental health and disability representation as the central storyline and a wonderfully fun new but interconnected plot every episode? And absurdist fictional medical situations for doctors to solve to boot?

I have!

Oh and did I mention the raving anti-capitalist commentary? There's also that

Sleech and klak redesigns!!! (And definitely not ship art (lying))

The girlfriends!!!!

I wanted to keep some things from the original designs and change the colors mostly and I like them a lot more<3 I'm probably gonna redesign vlam and plowp next because I love them :3

I also wanna talk about my problem with the character design in this show. I love the show, however the characters make me want to cry the COLORS did you even LOOK at a color wheel????? I'm sorry. Vlam looks okay. I don't think,,, any of the others do tbh I'm sorry they look horrendous

Specifically in these designs I took away some of klaks eyes because she's like a fish, why would they need more eyes? Also changed the arm gills to webbed hands and gave her MORE buns for cuteness, I also just made the colors more cohesive

And I made sleech more magenta and pink and red since I wanted to give klak more blue accents and teal. Also gave her FANGS because it's cute

YEAH I love them I wish this show didn't have the most disgusting color palette known to man it hurts me I love character design so much and they just threw it in the garbage. Not to say my designs are perfect, they're def not! I might even change them a little lol

In how many shows do the love interests get integrated into the main plot with complex issues and storylines entirely of their own? Especially in a show where love interests often switch from one episode to the next because all of the main cast are messy adults sleeping around and trying to suppress their issues?

I feel like any other show would've put a two-dimensional character in Azel's place, and yet they're not just annoyingly perfect or self-absorbed or simply too casual for Klak's liking, they themselves are also a somewhat dysfunctional adult who struggles to keep things casual even when that is what they want and continuously let protocol, self-preservation and their beliefs about the importance of talent and career get in the way of truly doing the right thing. And all things considered, in the end they still care for Klak enough to be willing to risk everything to save them, and yet reputation remains an issue for them after that. They keep coming back to their own issues with their own plots and journeys despite the general conventions for a "bad idea ex" type character like them being so much more one-note than this.

And spoilers for season 2 but despite being by all means a perfect match for Klak, Zypha is herself a mess too, dating other people casually seemingly to try and get over a person she performed one (1) surgery with (which clearly failed), having sustained issues about the literal death cult she grew up in, and taking someone on a 20 hour first date without any warning. The woman is a match to Klak because she matches her issues.

And that's not even mentioning the clear platonic partnership/best friendship between Klak and Sleech that rings through everything they do and comes with its own complications and speed bumps, where they both balance each other out and regularly drive each other mad
