If you’ve ever had a serious illness or broken a bone, you might’ve gotten a feel better soon gift. It’s a little thing to show comfort and support. It can be a plushie, a blanket, a card, it can take many forms. This is a satire on those. It is covered in hateful messages and poor taste sentiments. We originally wondered where we could collect so much hateful messages. We then remembered the internet existed. These are from a bunch of our friends and strangers online and we collected everything together onto this small blankie. We chose a blankie to be infantilizing to the receiver. Also no, this isn’t actually going to someone in the hospital. We aren’t that cruel.

Around it are megative and insulting phrases responding to the viewer, with lines such as "Go get Asbestos Poisoning", "Get lost, with all my hate", and "I slept with your wife while you were in a coma haha"
