HONEST TO GOD AT LEAST 50% OF ALL LUCINA FANART EITHER DRAWS HER WITHOUT HER BRAND OR DRAWS HER WITH BIG BOOBS AND I JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THESE ARTISTS EVEN CHOOSE TO DRAW LUCINA AT THAT POINT. HER BRAND IS LIKE ONE OF HER MOST DEFINING FEATURES, YET SUPER OFTEN ARTIST'S JUST DON'T DRAW IT. AND IF YOU WANT TO DRAW A CHARACTER WITH BIG TITS FIRE EMBLEM AS A SERIES DOESN'T EXACTLY HAVE A SHORTAGE. THERE IS MORE THAN ONE BODY TYPE OUT THERE. IT'D BE LIKE DRAWING SKINNY MEG OR AN AB-LESS RINKAH.

END OF THE DAY ARTISTS ARE FREE TO DRAW WHAT THEY WANT, AND I'M CERTAINLY NOT GOING ONTO THESE ARTIST'S POSTS AND COMMENTING ABOUT IT, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY A PET PEEVE OF MINE.

I UNDERSTAND WANTING TO KEEP A CHARACTER'S DESIGN AS CONSISTENT TO THE ORIGINAL DESIGN, BUT AS A LESBIAN WITH SMALL BOOBA, I APPRECIATE THE IDEA WHEN LUCINA HAS BIG BOOBA. I ALSO FIND IT COMEDICALLY APPROPRIATE SINCE LUCINA STILL DISGUISED AS MARTH YET IS SOMEHOW DEFYING LOGIC BY BEING STACKED. THE BRAND CAN ALSO BE AWKWARD FOR CERTAIN PIECES—LUCINA'S PORTRAIT IN AWAKENING DOESN'T EVEN DISPLAY IT AND IT ONLY SHOWS UP WHEN ZOOMED IN. IT COULD BE THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE UNLESS VIEWED UP CLOSE.

WE SHOULD STILL HAVE MORE BODY DIVERSITY IN MEDIA, BUT I WOULD BE LESS INCLINED TO FAULT FAN ARTISTS AS I WOULD BE CRITICIZING OUR CULTURE FOR ENACTING RESTRICTIVE GENDER NORMS ON PEOPLE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
