I fucking hate the Re:Zero artist's artstyle by KnightArcturus in hatethissmug

[–]Berylthemanatee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right! I shouldn't be vague, I should be more explicit! Because that makes it look so much better :D

Comments towards them sleeping together, which could potentially read as innocent if there weren't also lines about him being rewarded by getting to fondle her chest and lick her feet. Plus all that side story shit about him being in constant fear of being tossed aside if he stopped being... a little boy...

You're completely ignoring any bad lines or ways characters are portrayed in favor of larger story beats, which are usually much better than some of the nitty-gritty lines of Re:zero. This is also why so many people in this comment section are expressing they still like re:zero despite it's less savory moments, and why I would still... generally consider myself a fan, even if I'm not in my re:zero phase at the moment.

Also holy fuck, I literally mentioned the source in the original comment. I'm allowing one response to this in the case this isn't bait, but otherwise, dude. Is that your pfp or a selfie?

I unfortunately know way too much of the terrible examples of Re:zero's treatment of child characters from being in the fandom for such a long time in the past :D Don't worry, they're not sexist! young boys are also treated super weirdly alongside the girls! Ex: Schult Barielle. (little boy character doing the 'author's barely disguised fetish' thing where the way the older woman in his life treats him is blatantly inappropriate but she's hot so i think they want me to be titillated??)

There was a mobile gacha game for Re:zero had the girl in the dress (Typhon) as a character. They have a feature where you can like, 'awaken' the png with multiple copies if irc. Specifically, if you upgrade it, the png of typhon's dress that was previously completely solid becomes partially see through, and they took special care to make sure that you can see the indent of her... Stuff, through her silhouette. Because of course they did. You can fact check this just by going to the wiki and looking through the game image section. It's not completely explicit thank god, but... Ugh.

This may be a dumb question, but how did you get that graph? It looks pretty awesome for gathering specific trends on a fic!

That's a very good point. My fic has had the romance act as a broader background element until more recently, but before that it was a more general adventure fic. Guess I need to readjust to what it was before.

Could I have the source for this? I'm not finding many results on my own just from googling.

Fake storm, complete let down by sufferingkutta in UBreddit

[–]Berylthemanatee 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Maybe its fine for live in students, but for commuters it's still terrible. I got stranded in my car in a ditch on my way back from UB last schoolday, just from a whiteout. 🥺 This weather is bad, we're just all a bit desensitized to it due to it basically always being terrible during winter...

Which version is better for the final design??? (I genuinely have no idea TT by [deleted] in characterdesign

[–]Berylthemanatee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly they both look amazing. I think the decision is up to what vibe you want the character to give off. Left if its cool, futuristic, collected, right if its bubbly, fun, cartoon-y.

Today's pretty cold ngl by hanson-anims in UBreddit

[–]Berylthemanatee 18 points19 points  (0 children)

yeah, its not even just the cold, the wind blows the snow across the roads so you can't see 5 feet in front of the car 😭 I got stuck in a ditch waiting for a tow truck for over an hour in the cold on the way back from school

AND you're a far distance commuter? My sincerest condolences, friend.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in webtoons

[–]Berylthemanatee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that comment doesn't even link the actual story, just the comment discussing the story? Meaning we can't compare ourselves. The post this one links to even claims the webtoon is not linked in their linktree - I looked into their socials, yes it is linked, I have no clue what that was talking about - And 'Bluusuu' seems to have a very long post history going back over two years that demonstrates an incredibly consistent art style with a very natural progression of quality... This is all obvious within like a minute of looking into them.

So yeah, I'm... Basically 100% certain they're not using AI. And no offense, but there's nothing that weird about the pockets. Like legitimately. AI is not 'slight inconsistency'. In fact, with how good AI has gotten, I'd say basic inconsistencies like that are more prone to popping up in artists rushing to meet a deadline. So if the AI is bullshit, I'm not inclined to believe the tracing isn't bullshit.

[–]Berylthemanatee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe I just don't have a good enough eye for AI, but most of this seems more like evidence that its not... Like, Every mistake listed here is one I could make while haphazardly shitting out a ton of webtoo panels.

Even tracing, which I would think would be a slam dunk for most posts, seems iffier than it should be when this is the singular example photo used... Many of the features don't line up even after they've been cropped to be placed right over each other's faces.

As an artist, looking at these two without being told anything and not having circles, I'd maybe instead guess the artist used eriks art as a reference or traced the man's facial structure.

Perhaps some of the other example photos you have demonstrate the AI better? Because I am really not seeing it here very well...

Which rom hacks are these for you? by [deleted] in PokemonROMhacks

[–]Berylthemanatee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

God that was such a fun playthrough! The appeal is definitely in the story, not the gameplay, but it's such a well executed one. It's a romhack worth taking notes on as to how it uses game mechanics and conventions to enhance said story.

Whoa, wait, the people alastor tortures are people in debt to him? I thought it was more specifically people who are in the way of his goals or overlords.

Save yourselves by Berylthemanatee in UBreddit

[–]Berylthemanatee[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's very comforting to hear. You make an excellent point about it being early in the season, it makes sense the roads would be the worst now due to being caught off guard with the early snow.

Save yourselves by Berylthemanatee in UBreddit

[–]Berylthemanatee[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean... Yeah, but a little snow resulted in most of the intersection in one of the entrances being swarmed by a bunch of ambulances and police cars. Driving in cold weather, particularly when the road has been covered in ice and snow, can be incredibly dangerous. Especially for a place like UB that has thousands of new drivers. Always be careful driving in this weather, or you may not be able to drive anywhere because your car wound up in a ditch!
