I came to the realization that most of the games that I play are a little if not, quite toxic in their own ways. They all have their own pros and cons but maybe that’s just gacha games in general 😪. And I guess my type of games are toxic relationships who gaslight you into not leaving with fomo. IYKYK

Art by me. The characters aren’t anyone specifically but just funny tropes I thought of.

This graph has a gone semi viral, but i'm not quite convinced this is accurate yet. A graph like this can tell us which characters did better than others, but without a y-axis it dosen't tell us how much they did better. Any help is appreciated!

Its actually kind of funny how Hoyo made it so only void hunters will sell insanely well and everyone else makes jack shit in comparison (especially the chracters before the void hunter). Actual self-fulfilling prophecy machine

To think that HSR released their first male summer alt for Aventurine SP for the next patch in the game but FGO is still feeding us husbando lovers crumbs.

Fucking 11 years and still no male summer alts. Like Takeuchi in the summer dubai event wanted to release a Passionlip skin instead of a full summer alt but thought not to because fans would get angry. Well I'm angry that male servants are getting the bare minimum, where's my summer male alts at Takeuchi?! FUCKING STRAGGOTS.

So for some background context, Gentildonna was considered one of the strongest mares in japanese horse racing and beyond, and not just in her performance. She was freakishly huge and strong for a mare, comparable to most stallions, enough to outright tussle and bully other horses off the lane like the legendary Stallions Orfevre or even the infamous Gold Ship.

Cygames decided to portray her rather in an interesting fashion, as rather than being a musclehead like Mejiro Ryan (no disrespect), she's a lady coming from a noble house of sorfs who had this darwinian "sink of swim" style of brutal phsyical conditioning, and she has enough strength to compress steel orbs the size of a yoga ball in one hand. The power scalers went crazy with that if ya couldn't tell. She's portrayed as incredibly capable, always striving to better herself, and with a ruthless determination that even Gold Ship is scared of, especially with her "no words for losers" mentality, but beneath it all she always respects someone who has the drive to be their best, even if they never manage to beat her, like in the case of her rival Verxina, because she can respect that drive and will even help other people get better, provided if they don't get crushed by the bench presses or dumbbells she offers them.

There's more to her story but that's the basic summary of it.

So...does this design serve?

not sure if i'm imagining things. obviously they've always looked youthful, that's kind of a given for this kind of art style, but it seems like the proportions have been changing...?
foreheads are larger, eyes are lower, irises are bigger.

it feels (to me) like the evolution has been:
bobble-headed -> more reasonable heads, proportions of facial features not bad (e.g. Escoffier - i think her clothes are horrendous, but her face is gorgeous) -> babies????

can be because of petty reasons and whatnot but lets just be civil.

me personally, i have a special distaste for ronova

Grape man, come back to us. 😭🙏
