Hi Upsettia
Upsettia was originally one of my Tomodachi Life characters so I suppose Nintendo gets partial credit for her design

I read her dialogue as sounding like someone speaking through a synthesizer, with a glitchy dot-matrix printer.
You did a great job typing out the phonology of the tomodachi life voice
I heard "Hi Upsettia" in Donut's voice and now I can't get it to stop
I saw the notification and I think Upsettia definitely is
Actually, what you're looking at is Upsettia's mask and armor. Underneath, she looks like...who? Captain Nemo? Taylor Swift? Nelson?
Upsettia in the second panel is very relatable.
When you hate the sound of baa But can only scream Aaaa … that’s Upsetti!
An autistic AI?
Is it a good "Aaaa", a bad "Aaaa", or a worrying "Aaaa"?
Yes.
I love the way the post crops in the patreon feed so the first I ever see of Upsettia is panel two. "Aaaa"
Upsettia once tried opening a Japanese restaurant but it wasn't a success. Critics said the sushi was inauthentic. And the miso? Phonier.
I love her 🩷
I need backstory on Upsettia, immediately
"A disorder of decreased tolerance to specific sounds or their associated stimuli, or cues..." Where has this word been my whole life? I appreciate having the term.
Jeph? Someone convinced me I needed a Canadian work permit — I do think - now - they were politely telling me no. They panicked when I told them my pop was from Montreal and that a permit would be no problem. I feel old now.
Upsettia looks like a Scary-Go-Round character
The Uncanny Valley runs right through the middle of Cubetown.
Why is that unrealistic? Don't Canadians work?
So they have Muppets at Cubetown?
I'm sure the work permit progress was accelerated to get Upsettia to leave.
The most gleefully gluten-intolerant a gremlin could be.
Petite.
Neat Sweet Petite So put a witch's shawl on A broomstick you can crawl on We're gonna pay a call on The Addams family
I like her
Aww, super nice of Moray to remember and be mindful of misophonia for sensitive folks!
Moray is mindful of misophonia to manage never being mean during merriment.
I love her She must be protected
Maybe Cubetown is a special economic zone because they realised that the administrative capabilities of the cubetown denizens was too low to be able to function with standard Canadian Bureaucracy.
I petition to have Upsettia be made a part of the Cubetown cast.
You do know that if your petition passes we will HAVE to ship her.
I'm autistic, and I tend to react badly to unexpected physical contact of any type. I can only envy Upsettia her response to that unexpeced hug. -I- would have jumped back with a shriek.

I have never played Tomodachi life. Perhaps I should. :)
Upsettia seems super duper nice really 👍 ! A friendly smile goes a long way 😁
Uppsettia's smile goes a grotesquely long way.
loving the ambiguity of tone for "Aaaa"
I'm imagining it's just as ambiguous even when audible. Like kind of a GLaDOS monotone.
If anyone wants to do a comparison of canadian (or any) vs spanish bureaucracy, I‘d be happy (actually not happy) to know there is worse (but why 😭)
I figure with AIs working in the Canadian government, it's much more efficient than it is in our universe.
Liz: >:)
So Liz is saying that in 20 minutes her feet will be making noise? 😉
It's a little known scientific fact that gremlins can expel flatulence through their feet. They call them tootsie toots.
She just does office work, but in the creepiest way possible.
....I need to make QC characters in Tomodachi... I need Tomodachi...
And here I thought “misophonia” is the fear of sound of soup. And I know at least one Patreon account that will cure that fear for $5 a month.
Mmm, miso.
1. Upsettia fits in well with the Addams Family aesthetic. If ever their canon writings go into SF territory (which will happen definitely, since I've written it), Addams robots will be awesome. 2. Jeph has a floating humming black slab in the comic. Far more realistic and likely than quick turnaround for Canadian bureaucracy.
We're due for an on-panel return of The Slab, I feel :D Maybe even just a background cameo
Wow -- really getting strong "slenderman & THAT girl from The Ring love-child" vibes from upsettia. 😶😶 What a great character! 🥰🥰 Please, please let her have a thing for white lace doilies, crochet, grotesque Muppet taxidermy, and terrifying looming out of shadows, whilst still being an absolute pacifist angel sweetheart on the inside. She's utterly adorifying!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
A gentle soul with an intimidating appearance and a habit of looming? Welp, so launches the good ship Upsettiot. https://web.archive.org/web/20260331060054/https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1868
I'm actually working on my citizenship paperwork (Maternal Grandfather's father was born in Black Point, NS) right now (thanks to C-3), but the provinces are FLOODED with records requests (in my case, great-grandfather's birth cert)
It’s almost as if there’s an uptick in interest in immigration from a nearby country for some unknown reason
I'm pretty sure I now have to share this comic with someone or else Upsettia will come out of my phone and kill me.
Just don't type her name into your phone 3 times at midnight.
Now I'm gonna have to make a bunch of these characters in the new Tomodachi Life game... I already have to many characters to keep track of as is lol
My work permit turned out to be very quick, but I may have just been lucky, though the lawyer my company used for it was really good. Permanent residency was a much more arduous process, though. I'm now in the process of applying for citizenship. I got the email about taking the citizenship test a couple days ago, so I'm going to be doing that.
Congrats!
I have misophonia too but luckily burps don't set it off. Now, slurping, on the other hand...... wait here while i claw my ears off And don't get me started on wet chewing noises I want to leave my body just thinking about it
Stay away from me at meal times, then. :)
Upsettia is now my favorite.
I honestly cannot tell how Upsettia feels about the hug in panel 2. That could be any of several different emotions being expressed.
Right? Is the Aaa revulsion to touch, or long-awaited appreciation of her work? Hopefully we find out. *shrug
Man don't even joke about that, those Nintendo lawyers aren't fed between cases. They're vicious.
Even these Japanese judges don’t want to rule against them. Some still have their card set from Nintendo like 90 years ago and the last thing they need is Nintendo sending them out to the shadow realm where Joey is.
Goblin mode active
Implying it was at some point Inactive?
Oh good, waking night terrors. I love her tho
Kinda wish we couldn’t see the neck seam in the middle panels as I can imagine a lively debate over whether she was an AI or not.
Could be a gill flap.
god damn it
Honestly, for someone considered "eccentric" by Cubetown standards, she's positively normal. I was expecting, like, non-euclidean geometry or something. https://web.archive.org/web/20260319010944/https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4954

🇨🇦 Work permits difficult, true, but health professionals are being actively encouraged at the moment. Look up "Tod Maffin" in YouTube.
Upsettia makes me hum a theme song and snap my fingers.
Neat.
Upsettia is a bit... unnerving. I'm sure she is a wonderful person, though.
Her sister Unnervia, on the other hand, is a bit upsetting.
JESUS
Panel 2 is just perfect.
oh canadia
I can see why Upsettia might be upsetting for some people, but I'm just getting heavy Muppet vibes.
Don't most of the AI name themselves? Maybe they are trying to be Upsetting lol
BUrpsettia.
Why does she look like a Japanese horror ghost... She looks like she will curse you for having prettier hair than her... Eta: I absolutely love her btw.
Upsettia is terrifying and I would die for her
Upsettia is adorable and I would die for her
Oh no is that Jeff the Killer?
