...ahem-

"The absolute audacity to write an entire comic series where Lili does things that makes Sera embarassed, upset and/or uncomfortable, to a point where Lili PUSHED HER TO TEARS and made her wife think she's inept at intimacy

And then go “actually no Sera is just a puritan. Lili did nothing wrong”."

Idol, if you were trying to make your own Hazbin Helluva "but better", maybe don't have it be guilty of the same things..?

Comic page anon is talking about I think: https://www.tumblr.com/monstersandgirls-webtoons/729823882157211648?source=share It makes me sad to think back at the Monsters & Girls comics and realize that some of the pages are not written well.. If I could, I would rewrite them myself and do a fan rewrite but I don't wanna get into trouble with Idol or Idol pulling a Vivziepop and claim that I'm being "disrespectful" to their work because I DARE to redesign his characters and blah blah blaaaaahhhhh!

Also yeah, I know He's fine with their Sera and Lili characters being redesigned but ya know.

I still enjoy Monsters & Girls and It's kinda like my guilty pleasure alongside Muffins/Muffins side story and Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss.

the irony of implying "she's doing it for bragging rights" when by his own admission they themselves brag about "lmao Vivz' oh-so-shitty writing teaches me what NOT to do! Stolas gave me sooo much material to work on for Cale Bugtopia!" and other things in similar vein.

Idol. Didn't you say you were "done with this woman" several months ago? When are you going to politely shut the bloody hell up about the red demon shows you already decided are irredeemable and focus on making your own comics?

If you need to constantly draw comparisons and ranting about Medrano like she's your ex, you are implicitly admitting these OCs and stories of yours cannot stand on their own merits. I guess making the comics as good as they can be never mattered as much as tearing down others.

Yeah it's annoying and seem obsessive kinda like ChaiFootsteps + He doesn't even bring anything that is actual critical to the table and it just feels like Idol is petty at the fact that Viv allegedly called them "disrespectful" for redesigning her characters.

This all being said by an artist who, after I put some of their recent art and comics through a black 'n white/noir filter, is terrible at lighting and color value.

If characters aren't against a simplistic blank void, they can frequently blend in with/large parts of them disappear into the background they're placed against. Light very rarely affect any characters' color pallets too.

That's not very good and rather inconvenient for any readers of yours who can be colorblind, IdcMolasses.

Honestly I think the backgrounds for some of Idol's comics are all right but most like you said, has bad lighting and color value that Idolo should really work on that.

Now I should be saying that considering that I don't even draw backgrounds most of the time and just random grab background images but there is saying that "You don't need to be a pastry chef to know if the cooking or cake is bad!"

Also off topic, Idolo, The reason the HB pilot was scrapped is because it's no longer canon to the show not because "too many people like it" bruv-

Aaaand there's public shit-talking the readers of their own comics now because the compliment isn't Good Enough for them. Yipee...

Apparently Idolo just turned his entire brain off every time Mammon was onscreen.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, Holy fuck Idolo- Shut the hell up my guy.. Like, I get if you are one of THOSE artists who don't like it when their characters are compare to another fictional character and all but.. my non-binary person, It ain't CRAZY.

This person could've been BOTH a fan of your work (Like I was, though I still enjoy Monsters & Girls) and also a fan of Hazbin Hotel/Helluva boss and for you to make a post that, I wouldn't call "shit talking a fan in the public" rather than just being openly rude?? Listen, my suggestion is to just ignore it or politely ask the user "Hey, maybe don't compare my characters or work to a series I hate." But, I'm not surprised that THEY did not do that considering he'd blocked me.... twrice for simply criticing him: One on their behavior which includes SUPPORTING someone who had shared around HH/HB leaks, support Zebirdbrain (a transphobe), being a hypocrite and lastly I critic their behavior on tumblr + their series Bugtopia and Monsters & Girls. So yeah, not surprised or shocked like pop rocks that he did that. Now for this

Uhh bug? Have you not SEEN MAMMON'S MAGNIFICENT MUSICAL MID-SEASON SPECIAL (ft Fizzarolli)? Because in MAMMON'S MAGNIFICENT MUSICAL MID-SEASON SPECIAL................... (ft Fizzarolli), Mammon, a rich scummy fat c📯t is portrayed as a abusive, corrupted, rich guy who exploits his performancers just as Fizzi. And before people say it, yes it sounds similar to the alleged abuse that Vivziepop's former employees has mentioned but let me say, I have to say ALLEGED abuse for legal reasons and so on. I would understand that maybe Bug didn't see all of season 2 yet but considering that they had confirmed that he HAD hate-watched Helluva Boss (something I recommend people NOT to do as it ain't healthy for your mental health hunnie) I can safely believe that Bug had simply just shut theirselves off while watching MAMMON'S MAGNIFICENT MUSICAL MID-SEASON SPECIAL (ft Fizzarolli). Or miss the entire point of the episode and assume that it's "glorifying" nasty abusive or creepy people like Mammon and Arick "Burnie" Burnz/Creepzo. Annnnnd they probably group theirselves with the "critics" who see Burnie as a representations of Fan turn "critic", when in reality BURNIE suppose to represent Fan turned stalker/hater. Also bug, PLEASE stop misusing the "critical" tag.. your post did NOT have anything critical in it.

Yeah, I'm not buying the "Just Soulmates" angle when there's so far been nothing but constant ship-teasing and making it obvious Luvart wants to violently jump Powers' bones. It's the same junk with Junior and other characters she's interacted with despite her now being aromantic.

Either Idolo is intentionally being coy, or just... is actually incapable of writing women in normal, nonromantic/non-sexually charged relationships.

Not gonna lie, it's driving me bonkers.. I hate it when artists or shows love to ship tease people like that. Like, for crying out loud Idolo, you literally made a post explaining why you wouldn't ship the characters together and yet, you're literally ship teasing us like this

Like, I get if this is just for engagement bait to get people viewing or reading your comics but in my personal opinion, I think Idolo should make the ship canon instead of teasing his fans like this or they could maybe not do these ship-teasing comics if they don't want Luvowers or Powart? (Idk, what would you call the ship?) canon.. It's perfectly okay to do AU's just as long as you state "This is a non-canon AU to my comic" but just DON'T tease your fans like that because, it kinda feels like queerbaiting in a way /nbr.

"Kinky and suggestive stuff for Toxic Ships are cool when ***I*** do it, but when ppl I Don't Like (Viv) do it, it it's ONLY for fap material!" - Idolomantitties. Unironically.

What a hypocrite which, I'm not surprised considering he DID defended ZebirdBrain (aka a transphobe) and when people like myself called them out on their hypocrispy, he'd blocked us.

But to be fair, Idolo is NOT planning on making them a couple rather 'soulmates' which... I think soulmates is the same thing as couples that are in love/date each other?????? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

And to be fair, Idolo does give a explain why they ain't gonna make them a couple which is good.. Bc, I guess he's worry that it may be similar to Stolas and Blitz but to "Vivziepop's defense" the series isn't even finish yet so we don't know how they'll turn out but even still, she would have to rewrite some of the Stolas and Blitz scenes from season 1 if she wants them to appear as a non-toxic couple or slow burn relationship.

I’m going to just share these side by side

The second one is them being rightfully upset about the harassment and transphobic remarks that he had receive from these people over a redesign.

But another thing, Idolo is cutting out fucking context here

Basically, if ya read uni_meadows full tweets and I mean, the older ones, they were literally attacking Vivziepop first by quote-tweeting her and such, and when she commented basically ya know telling Meadow that their the ones with thin skin since their posts were always involving Viv.

Uni decided to quote tweet her again, insulting Vivziepop and claimed that she "searched up their name".

I'm gonna give Idolo the benefit of the doubt and assume that they did not see those tweets where it show that Uni was literally first to poke the wasp nest.

literally all I did was search Idolos username and immediately this is the first result-

I love how viv-antis always default to calling anybody who defends her "dickriders". It's constantly unsolicited sexual degradation with these people.

I'm reminded of the art Dollcreep made of her over the sparkldog debacle, poking fun at the idea of Viv being intersex/amab when no, she's cis IRL.

Like, in my opinion it's fine to criticize the crazy/toxic fans who harass people for simply making a video that was a light jab at Vivzie and it was obviously made as a joke and NOT as a way to disrespect her work.

But straight up attacking or insulting the fans when they haven't insult you first is just scummy behavior.. also, I think I need to point this out and address the elephant in the room.

Idol. That video is NOT a criticism video, it's a literal video made as a joke and it has no valid criticism in it what so ever..

🦑MegaChan🤖 (@MegaChanRevival) on X

Fine, I’ll repost it. Back by popular demand. 🫡

Like, did Mega explain how Vivziepop could fix Helluva Boss or Hazbin Hotel? No.

Did he point out the problem with the show? Nope. All he did was made a video that parody's Helluva Boss, Idol if you seriously think that's how you critic a series, webcomic ect ect by insulting, being rude or making shitposts made to poke a jab at the series you don't like... then PLEASE PLEASE don't even criticize it or if you are gonna criticize it, use actual genniue critic's criticisms as reference. I'm sure you wouldn't like it if someone were to take Bugtopia and did a similar thing to what MegaChan did and call it "critcism" now would you?
