The real problem with the Manic Pixie Dream Girl getting tropified is that it's so strongly rooted in being a uncomfortable caricature of that one autistic girl you knew in high school that when people who actually are autistic write autobiography they get accused of Manic Pixie Dream Girling themselves.

Making your boyfriend do things he doesn’t want to, is not cute :/

i’m never going to get over this ask because it’s referring to me sitting on my boyfriend and cajoling him into watching the absolutely abysmal barnyard (2006)

just for the record, my boyfriend is 6’1” and i’m 4’11”. if he wanted to he could literally pick me up and just like put me elsewhere. i cannot hold him captive and force him to watch terrible kevin james films no matter how bad i want to

buddy, you cant fuck osmosis jones. hes too small. you put him on your dick, he just goes on an adventure. he just has a car chase and learns a lesson.

The best part of this is OP’s avatar and username combined.

Fucking mocking you.

genshin impact and vtubers have done irreparable damage to the state of character design

Explain?

my personal feeling on the subject is that they prioritize overly complex accessorizing over clarity of concept, and are unwilling to stray from a hyperspecific and incredibly bland base. almost all genshin and vtuber designs have the same handful of body types - all skinny except for maybe a fat rack - and almost all of them are extremely pale. they all have identical 'anime' face shapes, and any and all variation in facial structure is eye shape.

the overly complex nature of the outfits/surface level aesthetics paired with the copy and paste nature of the underlying bodies and faces leads to this incredibly bizarre and somewhat paradoxical design phenomenon where every individual design has a ton happening in it but this makes them all feel more generic, not less. it all just ends up as visual noise especially when you get one or more of these designs next to each other. i also think a lot of them have really bad silhouettes and awkwardly proportioned outfits. I think the kids who grow up inspired to make art from these sort of artists are gonna end up preferring to put the cart before the horse in terms of character design.

With v-tubers its a bit different than genshin because a vtuber isnt really a character in a setting. but for genshin, especially when compared to the more mundanely and reasonably dressed npcs, the outfits are so overdesigned that they come across as actively immersion breaking to me. i havent played the game though i will say.

none of this is the end of the world, anyone who wants to draw a bunch of cluttered generic 'anime' stuff is free to do so. but i really do feel like it's a shame that art styles that have so little variation in body type, skin tone, and taste have such a large amount of cultural capital rn.

Modern anime was a mistake

OK. FIRST. THANK U for getting me into the old Trigun (I did watched the reboot and loved it, but then, after seeing a few things on your blog, I tried the old one and WOW. ITS. SOGOOD)

SO your blog kinda (actually totally) got me into Vashmeryl (the old trigun) and I didn't know I needed that ship so badly and now I am very deeeeeply in it. Just finished Tension on ff.net (also discovered on your tumblr, and oh my god, the FEELS!) and I LOVED it and it hurts 'cause I'm done and I'm just wondering... Do you have any other favorites fics of them? Anyhow, thanks, and your art is AWESOME.

Omg I'm so sorry I missed seeing this ask! Thank you! 💕💕💕💕💕(✿◡‿◡) Welcome to the VashMeryl nation!~ ngl...the fics for them are pretty sparse.. TT_TT Uhm all of these are sfw just because I feel recommending explicit ones (but there is some good ones out there 😉) But, some fics I like are: 1998 Trigun (maybe some related to the manga too) Arcaronar The Art of the Date Roots Worth Staying For After The Fall (unfinished) Atlas Trigun Stampede Hold me Without Hurting Me + My Hands at Risk The Bomb There is so much more but I haven't gone back through to read them in while. I'm glad I could be the blog that introduces so many people to Trigun!

maybe i’m just judging too hard and too early but i really really hate how trigun stampede has watered down the dynamic between meryl and vash and before shippers start talking. trigun 98 and the manga itself had this dynamic between both established before wolfwood came in, sure she wasn’t in on the action that much but they shared a lot of significant moments. even in the 98 adaptation the first half featured a lot of meryl (milly) and vash interactions which solidified their relationship as something that just couldn’t be labelled but was built on trust and care. in stampede they barely have that? (98 was able to establish this under 15 eps so i’m rlly scratching my head rn). and even with roberto this separation of the “core four” feels so Weird. i know it’s all for character depth, meryl feels so disjointed from the whole Plot.

edit: let me clarify that i know the rl between vash and meryl isn’t as prominent in the manga either (trimax esp) but they still share moments in the manga as a whole. i feel as if stampede doesn’t do them justice at all. idk but the 98 anime did give them a lot maybe i got greedy!
