The Malcontent Series
It all started with “nope” in 2020. That one benign, colloquial word hid a violent defiance behind colorful candy. It is a blanket you pull over your head to hide from the world, or a comfort food you just refuse to be lectured about. Four simple little letters, cushioned by sweetness, like a middle finger from a Disney princess.
