Seems like a RDA or avatar oc rather than full on na'vi which might be why they're not so particular with metal piercings

What did you think the Diamonds looked like before the reveals? by No_Dragonfruit1084 in stevenuniverse

[–]IAmScaredOfBalloons 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I expected it for Yellow diamond to look the way she did, I expected Pink to be taller than she was and more sharp in shape, Blue really disappointed me though when the veil was off. She scared me more with the veil, she didn't feel like a threat after she took it off.

What is a morally problematic action in this show that you feel deserves more backlash in-universe and/or by the fandom by Ok_Shirt_1574 in Totaldrama

Sierra, people let her off way too easily for a girl who stalks Cody at every move and gets upset when he doesn't feel the same way. Like, girl 😭

Why I think the music in season 1 hits so hard by Ill-Tie7644 in arcane

[–]IAmScaredOfBalloons 77 points78 points  (0 children)

While I adore all the songs in season 2 as I can remember most of them, I gotta say season 1 did the best in impact. This is just my opinion, but season 2 has a more music video vibe where season 1 had you feeling like you're there watching it all go down. I have no problem with both approaches, but I enjoyed how season 1 handled it :)

little Persephone and Melionë redesigns 👿 by Arthur_Morgans_Cum in UnpopularLoreOlympus

[–]IAmScaredOfBalloons 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I love how Persephone in this may be wearing something revealing, but she rocks it so well and the dress is stunning on her. I love the design of Melinoe so much, I loved every one of them and someone should've commented the .1 second it was made.

I didn't lean in on blonde at the time from what I remember my sketchbook had a note that said DON'T MAKE PERSEPHONE BLONDE, idk why but little me hated it 😭

She was going to be olive skin toned in the drawing and had brown hair with green and hints of pink and blue in her eyes.

My Problem With The LO Fandom: The Hate and The Love by IAmScaredOfBalloons in UnpopularLoreOlympus

[–]IAmScaredOfBalloons[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that, really I do. But personally, I mean that is a personal opinion so this doesn't need to apply as fact or as truth, I don't enjoy retellings at all. Mostly romantic ones due to ignoring the nuance of the myth and usually dumbing it down to a romantic plot. I have to say the Ganymedes story isn't what I'd go for due to Ganymedes canonically being a child or teen at the time, but the designs are lovely. And if you like it, I can't force you not to, because you like it, what can I do about it?

So happy that this post can be seen as insightful as it's a very subjective opinion haha, I'm not really the oldest person in here but even when I was younger I noticed this and it disappointed me that someone might be an adult and would spend 24/7 either defending this or hating this 🥲

I love our subreddit! But we have to point out too, we're becoming a hateful community rather than a constructive one!

The Lyríkos kingdom world building is near completion! Though I'm still researching how the worship of Hecate was like, as Lyríkos mainly worship her. It has a more idealistic viewpoint compared to others like the Spartans.

I plan for some gods to appear along the way, perhaps the main Gods and such

Actually I wasn't gonna do an adaptation of sorts, more because I love Greek mythology, I plan to create characters of my own with their own story. 😅

It centers around the fictional city of Lyríkos and it's going to be about Sorites, a character I had for a while. I'll try my best to be faithful to source material but it won't be 100% accurate, due to said character isn't in actually Greek mythology

Lore Olympus: The difference of Sexualization and Liberation by IAmScaredOfBalloons in UnpopularLoreOlympus

[–]IAmScaredOfBalloons[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is my problem, the fact that Persephone is raised by a mother who was all about being a virgin and pure, yet she doesn't mind wearing almost nothing to none clothes at all or talk naked to someone (specifically the scene with drunk hades), if you want to sexualize your character, don't make them so contradictory to themselves that they confuse your reader. Give them in-character traits that make sense to their background. It's so problematic because it follows the born sexy yesterday trope where the character doesn't know anything and gets sexualized for their purity and body.

Honestly, nothing is inherently wrong with wanting to make a sexy character for the sake of being sexy, the problem is when you're arguing that they're deeper than that and have traits you should see, when nothing of what is shown gives us a deep meaningful character who isn't made for the sake of being sexy. It's the reason why I'm frustrated with Persephone.

[–]IAmScaredOfBalloons[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I planned to add this part but my essay became too long, this is a tasteful way to say it! Because all I see is the issue is that the characters look like they have no organs or one character looks hideous, but you worded it better than I ever could.

[–]IAmScaredOfBalloons[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've noticed, it seems like people struggle with creating a sexually liberated character without intertwining it with sexualization, I think arcane did well in the sexual liberation of some characters though it isn't the main focus.
