Giving this a lunacy rating doesn’t feel like nearly enough. I’m not even going to attempt to unpack this right now, I’m just going to tie a cinderblock around the suitcase and throw it into the Pacific.

I'm not sure if there's careful moderation, or if the comic just isn't popular enough to get critical eyes on it (outside of us here). It's probably both.There’s barely any comments at the moment but you’re not wrong

HOLY MOTHER OF LUNACY
There aren't enough words in the English language to describe everything wrong with this SINGLE PAGE, but let me give it my best shot. This shit has made my day.
PANEL 1
- Random Scottish accent out of nowhere. This doesn't come up at all in the rest of this page, let alone the rest of the comic.
- Assuming this is not supposed to be a Scottish accent, why on earth is he calling someone a very Scottish term? Something so stereotypically Scottish that it's almost always the first obvious indicator a creator will use to make sure the audience knows that someone is Scottish?
- Said accent specifically comes off as male despite Niko supposedly being """nonbinary."""
- Also, someone named Niko is apparently Scottish. Or otherwise not Eastern European.
- Calling the gay guy a girl despite there being absolutely no fucking way that Niko doesn't know who Kai is (and that he's male).
- Actively insulting said almost-certain friend. Seriously, there's no way Niko has never ever "fronted" while Kai was around. He would know.
- Continuing to insult aforementioned certain friend.
- The perspective here looks very wrong (seniors were lined up against the wall, but this is a head-on shot of Niko... who was also against the wall, but now is in front of it?) but I don't have enough artistic skill to get technical about this.
- Bear cub's head is still fucking ginormous.
- Bear cub, instead of being rather concerned that "Percy's boyfriend" just heard about how he assaulted his father, instead indulges in being a walking stereotype by snickering with the other walking stereotype mean kids.
- "butts" as edgy graffiti at a high school.
- This is the cleanest dumpster i've ever seen.
- The edgiest thing in this picture is that one of the kids somehow has a missing eye and a (very clean-cut) scar over it.
- no comment I feel bad for Kai he deserves better than this fucking comic
- Kai randomly develops a stutter, I guess to enhance tension or something.
- Calling Niko Piper despite
- JUST being told about the stupid "separate people in one body" thing
- not acting like Piper at all and already knowing about Harper
- not even knowing Piper existed until last chapter, whereas his default was Percy for 16 YEARS
- also doing this during what is presumably a stressful situation. Why didn't he say Percy?? That would've made the tension so much more interesting and sensible and
- Why is Piper some sacred name but Percy's just whatever? Seriously, if anything, wouldn't Niko be more worried about Percy than Piper? Piper's just another "headmate" while Percy is both the only reason he exists and has a body and missing. What, is Niko gonna end up having some white-knighty crush on her or something?
- the only real comment I can give is that this background really doesn't give the impression that Percy's very upset here
- I know it's because it's "Niko" and his color is yellow or whatever but it makes the scene look unintentionally funny
- See the comment about a sacred name. Seriously, why is this pissing Niko off? I really hope it's not because he actually has a crush on Piper. God that would be so awful I hope it happens.
- Immediately defaulting to assault when someone shows genuine concern for him, lol.
- Pairing said assault with the most wet-fart insult I've ever heard makes everything feel really weird.
- Not helped by the Panel 5 background extending into this panel. Seriously, it feels like the next page is going to pull away to them both being some stupid comedy duo on a stage, could Salt not have chosen any other shade of yellow for this panel?
- Comedic facial expression on the fennec fox just getting the equivalent of a kick to the balls, both verbally and physically, from his best friend.
This is just off the top of my head rambling, but oh my god. This might actually be the stupidest page of any comic I've ever seen. It is fucking spectacular. It is an actual slow-motion train wreck. I don't even know how on earth anyone, anyone in the world could think it was good enough to post. Not just good enough to make-- good enough to show the entire world.
Holy shit.
--avoiding a doublepost--
oh yeah baby they're gobbling that slop up without a single further thought

you are greatly overestimating the intelligence and forethought of both the author and her audience
also why would anyone look at a fennec fox and immediately nickname it after a border collie

It's just a dismissive insult, like calling him "Old Yeller", or something.

I am both surprised at the writer behind the comic acknowledging how fucking shitty it is to smoke when you are supposed to be sharing a body, and appalled at how none of the underage readers of this crap gave a single fuck about that and just care about the fox mistaking the personalities, probably painting Kai as the one being in the wrong.
Also, how long has Niko or whoever been hanging out behind the school smoking with the seniors? And how has Kai or ANYONE ELSE never noticed it? It feels like the writer shot himself in the foot by making those 2 know each other from a while, as it just makes Kai come off completely oblivious.

I think Kai wanted to “see” Piper, but the author didn’t realize that not only would he figure that’s not Piper, but the “getting into stupid stuff” would indicate who that actually is. The Warren want to keep the headmate issue under wraps to avoid attention/therapy/whatever, but this characterization is awful and frankly completely insulting. I don’t sympathize with Harper or Niko, I sympathize with Kai trying to get a hold of his crazy friend. Niko clearly wants to be his own person while using Percy’s identity as a mask. He wants to hide his and Piper’s existences so he can smoke, do graffiti, and hang out with walking stereotypes. It’s not believable that he has anyone’s best interests at heart when he’s smoking in a shared body and abusing his friend, so why am I supposed to care about him?
This “representation” fucking sucks.

I think I mentioned before, that I wanted to write a comic about kai realizing how much damage being so progressive is being after watching his friend spiral out. I don't think I have to write that comic anymore, because this comic is already doing it for me.
This comic is something else. Never have I seen a piece of media so completely botch what it was trying to do. Reading these latest parts especially brings to mind Reefer Madness, down to the after school smoking. But where Reefer Madness failed because it could not convince the audience of it's false reality of weed, this comic is too good at showing it's authentic was of showing DID. It has so competely worked in showing what a dehabilitating problem it is to live life like this, not being able to recognize your own parents and pushing away friends and getting lung cancer against your own will. But it has utterly failed at trying to portray this as a good thing. That having these personalities is in any way helpful or at the very least should be tried to removed from the patient at all costs. The only two ways I can see this comic going now is 1. Gaslighting both Kai and the audience that what just happened was good actually, or 2. Going for some supernatural bullshit like in this person's previous comic, and both of them are equally egregious.

It botched the execution because it’s just so careless, so thoughtless. There’s more care put into details like shadows, graffiti, and eye colors. So much more focus on who’s active than why. Like I said, one way to make this look “good” is to show how having these personalities would benefit Percy, instead of telling us they do. But the author didn’t, so it doesn’t. One is living his life for him, another pushes away his friends and family, this one here is actively hurting him. You mean to tell me this isn’t a severe, debilitating disorder? I’m already seeing this comic take path 1 because to have Kai act like Piper just introduced herself is baffling. You don’t need to justify Niko’s behavior by having Kai be completely oblivious. You can have a character act “wrongly” if there are good reasons. They wouldn’t excuse a character’s behavior, but act as a good foundation for him to grow. But if you need to put a character down to make another look better, then you need to go back to the drawing board because you fucked up. The whole thing needs a rewrite.

I like how Niko or whatever starts off all smug, then immediately freaks out and attacks Kai after one question, and is more concerned on him getting some names mixed up over him understandably asking about him fucking up Percy's body. It says a lot about how consistently turbulent every character's emotional state is in these comics
There's not much about the author's identity I can find based on a half-hearted search, but considering how she calls herself a "psychology nerd" on her Tumblr and constantly reblogs shit about mental illnesses I feel like she'd make it crystal clear if she had any cool shiny disorders. While I wouldn't entirely discredit BPD, I think the author's just an entirely neurotypical, kinda womanchild who wants to write alllll about mental illness but her only experience with what they actually entail comes from articles on the internet, Tumblr, and "10 signs you're actually depressed" type videos on Youtube, so every attempt to represent them just makes them look actively harmful and detrimental to the characters' lives, bodies, and social circles because she doesn't ACTUALLY know what she's talking about, it's just another niche topic on the internet a bored chick got fixated on.
It's not a hard archetype to see around topics like these, she's probably the same type of person to headcanon characters with mental illnesses based entirely off of stereotypes and vibes but describe it as "coding".
The other minds sharing the body was semi-believable if we presumed they didn't do much outside, but if Niko's their own person who hangs out and smokes with seniors well enough to have evidentially build a rapport with them, it just pokes a huge hole into the whole damn story, because it's just not possible that someone as close as Kai, or Percy's parents have never once noticed something was up before the events of the comic.

With all of the above combined, and the whole thing about Niko being his own person, I once again feel like this story could be so much better if it was about a bunch of ghosts possessing one unfortunate host. The story would need a lot of tweaking, but you could actually get something decent out of this. And it wouldn’t be practically downright insulting to mentally ill people.

The reasoning for the whole greek shit is so fucking unironically schizophrenic when you actually look back at his reasoning for it.
Basically the "woke retards flailing at statues and dickless authorities taking them down to pander to the mob" fad seems to have seriously crumbled his already broken brain to the point I think it was straight up the origin of him going straight up chink nazi, and he became utterly fixated on it being part of some ancient juden grudge against statues in general which further spiralled into his ancient greece fanfic in which the origins of this statue-hate first began.
His whole anti-jew schtick can be divided pretty neatly between the standard "jew bad" checklist of muh-subvert society/subvert economy/sacrifice childre/fake muh holocaust and such which he vomits out in bulk, and the bizarre and contrived trivia tatsuya is both obsessed with and unreasonably fuckass mad about like the wailing wall or the bobbing while praying thing or the fucking mattress which he will dedicate an absurd amount of time and coverage to. Like he will casually namedrop a dozen normie tier antisemetic conspiracy theories in one panel and then run a week long mini arc about how disgustingly terrifying and evil jews are for swaying their hips or wearing hats or whatever other shit his broken brain has latched on to that week.
Anyway, it seems we may FINALLY be getting a change of scenery.....because he has transitioned to specifically hating Niggers for now.
Also this art makes me wonder if we are gonna get a 8 month long Buck Breaking arc in the near future

Man, seeing Tatsuya going into this arc is nuts, granted, its been forever, since the last I saw of his stuff he was an ultra feminist, anti porn, and bitching about American Sniper.

Its a telltale sign of weak character being so quick and so extreme in utterly reinventing his worldview and identity just to fit in with the "cool kids".
For most weak men and women this takes the form of mindlessly consooming product and regurgitating everything xitter-lib tier media and John Oliver tier "professional good person" retards say as fact, and mobbing anyone who goes against the grain or is declared to be the currentnow boogieman.
For weak men and women who are more introverted or bitter however, this often takes the form of latching on to whatever xitter-lib tier media or professional good persons denounce and decry, and doing so in the most obnoxiously and uselessly extreme and retarded ways they can think of just so they can prance about as the edgiest little edgelord in the room.
Tatsuya started off in the column A, before whatever broke and embittered him happened, at which point he switched hard to column B and has been driving himself into ever deeper a miserable frenzy ever since.

Jews absolutely say they're white and vomit out racist invective against whites. Twitter is filled with examples of (((as a white))). We were strangers in Egypt, so we shouldn't be inciting racist hatred against our host peoples in their own countries.
If we don't call out the bad we are complicit. All too often Jews circle the wagons to protect Jewish evildoers. Leo Frank is the most prominent example.
