* AmbiguousSituation: In chapter 3, Molly talks with Ben and Roy with Louise. According to Molly, Roy is having memories of things that didn't happened, that they've known each other for 5 years maybe but he claims to know her and her father. According to Roy, Molly doesn't remember him and they are childhood friends and she has lost their memories of their time together. This leaves the situation ambiguous on which of them is in the right.

Calling a real life person that you don't know a yaoi fangirl because she has lgbt characters is pretty gross. She has also expressed that she is not okay being called that.


* AmbiguouslyGay[=/=][[AmbiguouslyBi Bi]]: Questions regarding most of the male characters' sexuality are unavoidable thanks to the in-universe ShipTease and the guys themselves not outright refusing that he may or may not have feelings for the other male. The fact that the author ships them as well and had expressed it through drawings several times (case in point, [[http://enenkaydoodles.tumblr.com/post/76700058429/jk-kip-wallace-for-life-happy-valentines-day Valentines]] [[http://enenkaydoodles.tumblr.com/post/76697364295/happy-valentines-day-here-are-some-crummy-phone Day]]) doesn't help either, YaoiFangirl aside. Or maybe they were bi/gay from the start but it doesn't have to be stated blatantly.

Written by Taylor Carilli, ''[[http://monsterkind.enenkay.com/ Monsterkind]]'' is a story about humans and monsters living in a city ruled by segregation and inequality. Monsters are treated as second class citizens, and are not allowed in certain areas of the city-- especially those inhabited by wealthier humans.

** Character designs, too. Wallace, for example, had very yellow skin which in time, changed to a more flesh-like color by the third chapter, and the huge cowlick on his hair was gone. But the most notable would have to be Ben. [[http://40.media.tumblr.com/ee3a2f712f0708cfb5e1da2a25ee55d9/tumblr_ncxr4nI3PA1s9ny6qo1_400.png Here's a comparison]].
