Review of No Fun at the Fair by JayPea

15 October 2024

This review contains spoilers!

Another story of fun lighthearted fluff. This story wouldn't feel out of place in SJA I feel, if SJA did one parters.

I like Rose wrongly assuming a safety guy is a Slitheen, in previous Slitheen TV stories all the plus sized characters were Slitheen, so I'm glad to see they do something here to help show that assumption to be wrong. Mainly so very kids don't just assume people are Slitheen and we get more fatphobia from there.

I like how they initially seem to characterize the Slitheen as good as well though, again, more just showing characters harmful prejudices can be wrong. I mean, it's not in that case, but you think it might be for a little. Plus the hunt thing they do is just a fun visual, chasing a person through a fun fair, especially I like the detail that it's slowing down and guiding Rose, wanting the hunt to go on longer (which is inevitably it's downfall)
