its 2am and ive had the misfortune of, as per usual, seeing people call tsumugi aoba ugly and well i simply cannot let that slide. So im here to be annoying about it

FIRST OF ALL. neither natsume nor eichi (the only two charas i can think of that have dissed his appearance) actually think hes ugly. in natsumes case its him being tsundere about it and he actually really likes mugis hair, and in eichis case he just thinks he was alot more attractive without the glasses and with shorter hair. which brings me to my SECOND POINT

THIS IS LITERALLY A BISHOUNEN STEREOTYPE. when generalized and stereotyped, a bishounen can be described as an "androgynous (by western standards), tall and slender male with angular features and flowing locks." ofc, they all look very different, but u guys have heard of the root of this trope by now right? björn andrésen?

WHERE HAVE I SEEN THOSE FEATURES BEFORE!!!!!!! the droopy eyes?? the curly hair????

the whole DEAL with tsumugis character is that, genetically speaking, he is VERY conventionally attractive. hes got many of the desirable traits in japan, the PUNCHLINE HOWEVER is tsumugi DOESNT REALIZE/CARE ABOUT IT. people tell him that cutting his hair would make him more attractive but tsumugi doesnt want to! hes growing it out for a reason! and people also tell him that hed be more attractive without those big bulky glasses, but he has poor eyesight and theyre convenient! and he also cant be bothered to get new ones! LIKE ARE U GUYS SEEING THE APPEAL. ITS LIKE ONE BIG BIT. GUYS ITS A JOKE THEYRE MAKING A JOKE. A GUY GENETICALLY BLESSED TO BE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BOY AND HE JUST DOES NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT AT ALL. TAKES ABSOLUTELY 0 THOUGHT INTO HIS APPEARANCE. GUYS. THEYRE BEING FUNNY WITH HIS CHARACTER AGAIN PLEASE

I opened my copy of The Tale of the Body Thief & immediately had to close it again because of this silly little annotation

the brushes you use for digital art dont Actually matter that much and its more about core art principles and technique or whatever. but maybe this next brush will be the one

comics as an art form make me insane. they’re so difficult to do well. there’s so many different ways to make sequential art work and most of them are deeply unintuitive. onomatopoeia that feels completely ridiculous to put down often reads seamlessly. panels on a page become a fractally nested image composition challenge that’s only possible to lose because if you do a good job no one will notice. you have to direct the readers’ eyes on a specific path across the page but also account for the fact that they won’t follow it. comic time isn’t linear. if the order of events isn’t crystal clear the story becomes incomprehensible. sometimes you need to do this on purpose. all this for a medium almost universally considered less effective than animation and less respectable than plain text. even its own name doesn’t take it seriously

today in church one of the priests referred to trans people as "those who are growing into the gender they were called to be" and i'm kind of enjoying the idea of like....divinely ordained top surgery

i say i like tragedies and everyone’s all like ‘why do you like sad stories? are you depressed?’ and never ‘how was the catharsis? was the catharsis fun?’

a few months back i sent an ask dreaming of a valentines day switch event... well with ryusetai getting their climax even rn and knights likely having their in march due to the checkmate anime coming out... theres a chance switch actually could have a february climax event (though i feel like it's slightly more likely eden will have theres then) but idk i'm feeling a little insane rn

OUGHHHHHHH I REMEMBER THAT!!!! AND YOURE RIGHT THAT COULD VERY WELL END UP HAPPENING............. like i said in my last ask i do really want sora to be the 5* and mugi the 4*, and tbh a valentines event that centers those two would be really cute imo 🥺🥺🥺

i do really want their climax event to be RPG themed though.......... but admittedly the likeliness of that probably arent super high as maybe itd be too convoluted. but if happyele were smart they would deliver. they should hire me

i am once again saying that vampires have so much slapstick potential. they should be getting hit by cars and shot for laughs more often
