章節 114: Spotlight#123: The Little Trashmaid
Have you ever wanted me to seem a little fishy? If so, good news: I'm taking the spotlight to the dark trenches of the ocean to see the Little Trashmaid by s0s2.
Summary
Sciteinsts say that 80% of Earth's ocean remains unexplored. This is probably why we mere mortals haven't discovered the cutest creature of the seven seas: the mermaid Tidy. Using whatever trash floats her way, Tidy lives daily with a smile in a biosphere of waste.
Characters
Tidy: Our title character, Tidy, is an energetic, jubilant, resourceful, and naive 12-year-old mermaid. Due to her constantly living amongst trash, she's very ignorant of the outside world, leading to many communication mishaps. However, she always means well through her actions.
Overview
This may be the biggest webtoon I've never about. I've always seen it on Canvas but never realized how big its fandom is and how s0s2 is outside of it (seriously, check out their videos). Regardless though, this webtoon is the definition of wholesome. Most of the chapters are incredibly short ventures with little or no dialogue, making them very bingeable and creative sometimes in how they express themselves. The cartoony art manages to sell memeable faces and creative recycled constructs.
Despite the comedic tone, though, Trashmaid is way deeper (no pun intended) than I thought it would be initially. After the first few chapters, Tidy becomes acquainted with numerous friends like her human friends, the fiery Nick, helpful Spencer, and shy partner Neat. All of whom provide significant interactions and genuinely sweet moments to charm the soul. The jokes always have a very hopefully depressing quality, knowing many of the treasures. Tidy finds are a part of humanity's ever-present belief to kill itself but retool them despite that.
Speaking of pollution, though, that's surprisingly the most impressive part of Trashmaid. Throughout its three-year run, this series has actively tried to be a place that provides incredible commentary on polluting the seas. As a result, not only has Trashmaid collaborated with real-life environmentalist campaigns, but it has actively devoted money to them. Combine that with the massive canvas collaborations it's usually a part of, and Trashmaid seems to work well with everybody. It's one thing to be a cheerful tidbit in someone's day; it's another to advocate for a good cause.
Epilogue
Trashmaid is the biggest surprise in this current cluster lineup. It's a great read with unique messages behind it. I'll keep an eye on it for future chapters, but until then, it's time to turn the spotlight elsewhere.
