Alright, would you wanna do it Wednesday at 7PM EST?

him not having a perineum is giving me anxiety. If he closes his thighs he will crush his testicles.

Eren x Floch I generated a while ago

Used a prompt for retro manga and it gave me amazing art styels, so I decided to use it for my rare capeshit pair. Love how the iron man chest circle is heart shaped kek. I specified "kissing" but bing won't let them kiss. I'm happy with the results though, they look wonderful.

Is the internet really that small?
I'd figure any series with any sort of online presence has at least two western fans running around somewhere.

I'm into something like this. It's so funny when you meet other fandomish people but just can't get into the REAL specifics of what you like because it would essentially be doxxing yourself. Just seems too personal to put on a -chan!

>>5143
That's exactly it. Fuck it, I'm making fanfics and fanart to help spread the word, even if I only interact with Japanese fans on Twitter

>fan service and bl moments
This particular arc has so, so much of that I'm practically beside myself with anticipation! God bless the yaoi queen yana toboso for preparing this feast for us.

>sebastian bowing at the end of the episode
I must've replayed that little animation where his hair slips out from behind his ear about 50 times. The animators for that scene definitely wanted to fuck sebastian kek.

>4chan anons claim this arc is bad
4chan loves being contrarian. I remember seeing a poll on twitter some years ago asking which arc was the most popular among fans, and this arc ranked first.
I guess I can see why people might dislike it though because it is a bit different from the rest of the story tone-wise. But that's just a surface level observation imo. I think it makes perfect sense for this part of the story to seem 'lighter' because Ciel is infiltrating this normal school and pretending to have a normal life as a normal boy. Obviously they're not going to jump straight into the grimdark meat and potatoes of the story right away. That's just my two cents though kek

I sure didn't expect this guy to show up in the Touken ranbu anime.

I started watching Grandmaster of demonic cultivation. I went into it almost entirely blind and I was surprised at how much Wei Wuxian appealed to me as an MC. He's such a cheeky little shit.

It pretty much is, because people still do the scars even in advanced futuristic or magical settings. It's all about making their headcanon visible in fanart, similar to 'autism headcanons' where people draw a character stimming or give them that chew necklace or whatever. They've got to make their headcanon 100% clear and obvious to everyone in some way or they won't get any asspats.

My 'favourite' instance I've seen personally is in the final fantasy 14 fandom with Au Ra characters because canonically the race has exaggerated sexual dimorphism between males and females. The males are naturally tall and buff while the females are naturally small and skinny. Yet the TIF Au ra OCs I've seen are always built like the males in every single way except they have the huge tit removal scars and a vagina. I know this is because they just use mods on their male player model but in-universe it implies that somehow the character could change their body enough to grow twice their size but not enough to just get rid of the other female qualities in a world where body-altering magic is canon.

>>5134
It's also funny when it goes the other way in low technology/historical settings, where you'll have trans 'headcanons' of super buff tall guys and tit surgery, when realistically if you want to make this character trans then they wouldn't have access to HRT, so would still have a female body type, and would be binding their chest (not to mention they wouldn't be sounding like the cis man who voice acted them). They rarely want to engage with the impact it would have on their upbringing due to gender roles either. It makes the 'any character can be trans!! my headcanon is totally valid!!' insisting extra empty.
At the end of the day it just comes down to projection fantasy and/or feminization fetish and it wouldn't even be as annoying if more people admitted it. This is why 'headcanon' is the worst possible term to use.

Does anyone have the AlibabaxAladdin from Tsubasa Yamaguchi(Blue Period) ?

I had Dungeon Meshi on my to-read list for years because it always sounded and looked like my type of fantasy. I only read a few volumes in that time, but the anime has been a lot of fun (Chilchuck's voice threw me for a loop though, I imagined something more mature). There's a physicality to the characters that's nice to watch when they interact, and I love revisiting fantasy tropes like stubborn dwarves getting on with shit and shunning magic no matter what they're told.

The fandom is one of those sprawling beasts you don't want to poke with a long stick. I've been getting my kicks out of fanart here and there, but it's just as easy to find shit that doesn't work for me. Personally, when I first read the manga, Laios had this kind of empty stare when he wanted something and there was some line like "every day he gets less human", and I'm sorry but that stuff makes me horny. Can't explain away a fetish.

Yeah I'm usually first to say "no we're just having fun, not saying it's canon" about fujo ship saturation in a fandom, but the yuri shippers in DunMesh fandom seem to reaally really push that it's canon and you have to acknowledge it. I'm sure I'm biased as hell to see it that way, but it feels like they're more serious than fujo shippers.

A friend and I did it for shits and giggles. We quickly found that every story it produced had the exact same plot and was more a two paragraph movie blurb than actual prose. Trying to write prose into it would start promising then turn the same way.

>Trying to write prose into it would start promising then turn the same way.
LLMs tend to get off-topic the longer they go on, maybe that's why it starts okay before falling back to the same patterns. Have you tried a more collaborative approach? Like telling it you will be taking turns writing each paragraph. Maybe it will produce something better if it only has to write every other paragraph with user input in-between.

I just started a new manhwa. This is kinda funny to me

Can I sell you both on Brideshead Revisited? The first half is dripping with homo, a relative even confirms that she supports 'that kind of relationship' as it's 'healthy as long as it doesn't continue for too long', it's as gay as you can get without explicitely saying 'they were homo' and the TV series just took 'they are homo' and ran with it.

For me it's M R James ghost stories. Adaptations will focus on the spooks and cut it short, but in the text you know the strongest force against an unknown evil is the camaraderie of a fellow man who cares. Men who fool around with women? They can be tried and sent miserably to their death.

I remember watching this and liking it. It's not a fujo show though.

>>5108
Yeah it bothers me too, but I also think the term AMV has been poisoned and is associated with being "cringe" so they don't use it which is a shame.

Fandom TikTok is nearly all puriteens so that flood is going to be extremely unpleasant.

I don't think imageboards will ever have the same audience as TikTok. If anything, the concept of an imageboard is antithetical to a social media platform specifically designed to accrue followers and show your face to the world. It doesn't provide the same dopamine hit if it's just a bunch of randos replying to your post with no 'likes.' I could see a massive immigration to YT, like what happened with Vine. Twitter will probably see an increase, too, but it's already polluted and I think there's probably already a massive overlap. I've never used TikTok because I hate social media, especially when it's focused on broadcasting yourself and trying to get random people to follow you, so maybe my assessment is wrong.
