1. no rules in body text for once since I'm feeling nice and I love love love seeing other people's sonas smsmsm :D ‼️friendly reminder to not compare my OCs to media!

feel free to include any lore abt ur sona/sonas if you'd like!!!

• >!ps: if I reallllly like your OC + feel motivated to, I might redesign them in my style for fun with your consent ofc!!!<

Feel free to add any of your thoughts or personal anecdotes in the comments below. I'm somewhat new to this subreddit (first post around 4-5 months ago!) so let me know if I'm missing any details.

It's been quite upsetting seeing a rise of unwarranted (and almost always unwanted) criticism of each other's specific styles. This has always been a problem, but I've been seeing people grow bolder about this recently. There is genuinely no real good reason to make a post calling a specific kind of style "weird" or "jarring" or anything else negative.

Most people are not going to change their style just because you make a post saying how much you dislike their kind of style. All this does is make some people feel bad about their own style.

If someone makes an "I dislike this kinda style" post so they can see if others agree with them, a kind of seeking solidarity of sorts, that's quite childish and immature - and honestly, comes off as so rude and mean - to be bonding over agreeing on how much you dislike seeing a real human being's Gacha style that they probably quite love.

Yes, it earns you quick karma. Yes, you may be happy to see others agree with you. But at the end of the day, what these posts are saying do affect others. Imagine how you would feel if people constantly commented on your posts, "why is your style so xyz", "why do you do xyz in your style", "I don't really like your style, sorry".

To those people who dislike small head + long leg styles because "Gacha is meant to be chibi" - just because you have that point of view that Gacha = chibi, does not mean that the game actually intends for a chibi style! That is what you believe and your impression. There are plenty of presets in both Gacha Club (from what I remember) and GL2 that are very realistic or non chibi styles.

The art even inside of Gacha Club is often not chibi. Gacha World, which was one of Lunime's first Gacha games, does NOT have a chibi style! Even in Gacha Life (1), there was an option for smaller heads. Lunime Gacha games were never meant as only chibi.

Negativity and complaining that doesn't bring about positive change really is no good. It always is harmful. I've had friends quit because of too much needless criticism. It costs nothing to be kind. It costs nothing to just downvote and scroll, or block and scroll, or just...scroll!

There is nothing wrong with small heads + long legs styles! There is nothing wrong with chibi styles! There is nothing wrong with styles that are in between. Whether you have simpler designs, more detailed designs, in between, or a mix, everyone's style is fun to look at and we shouldn't be criticising styles if unasked for.

TLDR: If you have nothing nice to say about someone's Gacha style, just please, don't say it! Unless they're asking for critique on their style specifically.

I would love to see your style if you'd like to share, and I'd like to compliment everyone's style individually because we are all unique and creative humans that have all developed our own different personal Gacha styles - and all in the same app! It's amazing to see how different our styles all are.

new style...yeah! not getting rid of main style btwww

she is inspired by strawberry rhubarb pie kinda

‼️do not compare my OCs to media/fandom characters‼️

(for me, it still says Friday btw!! some time zones may not be Friday)

Here's how this is going to work. Read all the rules please!! If you don't follow em, uhhh I'll be weird and downvote you...sorryyy

Grey hair (Orion) is the critical one. He is overly honest and will be quite rude if he dislikes something. Blonde hair (Castiel/Cassity) is a bit nicer and will compliment you on what you have done well. am I using these OCs so people don't get mad if I'm blunt? yes

Rules -

1. One OC please.
2. Proper paragraph formatting. For me, that's around 4-7 sentences per paragraph. Maximum two full Reddit comments.
3. Put your favourite animal emoji. 🐻🐶🦊
4. Remember, this is a blunt and somewhat critical post.
5. No RP please!
6. My OCs (me) have their preferences.
7. I will try to give real constructive criticism while still staying somewhat in character.

‼️friendly reminder to please not call my OCs twinks/femboys or compare them to media!! ‼️

staring at their height difference critically...(tbh that's me (shorter one) with most of my friends)

I made a post about this OC recently and someone called him a twink. Fine, whatever, I hate that, but maybe they just skimmed over my post and didn't see where I said not to. I have it stated in my profile not to do that and when I have posted here before, I always make it clear. I state it in most of my posts involving my male OCs unless they're kids or something (which should be a given to not label a kid a twink or femboy...)

I told them politely to not call my OCs femboys or twinks and for some reason, got down voted 😭 this reminded me of how some of my friends have told me when they defend themselves or express boundaries (for example, telling people their OC is a boy when people mistake them for a girl or telling people their boundaries about their OCs), they often get down voted for simply having preferences and being uncomfortable with certain subjects.

Respect your fellow Gacha creators and acknowledge that many of them don't like when you directly cross their boundaries/rules. If they restate to you their boundary after you break it, then respect that and own up to it. We're people, not just random floating profiles.

Edit: Adding on to this whole topic, please treat each other like we're human. I'd strongly advise not to idolise any online figure because that gets uncomfortable for both that idol and sometimes for you. If you want to compliment someone? great!! :D but everyone has boundaries and it would do well to remember those. A lot of people are also scared to firmly set their boundaries. I know I am, so even if I'm upset, I try to be polite and kind about it. I will probably be more assertive about restating boundaries in the future.

If you dislike someone's style, please just don't be rude about it and comment it for no reason. I've seen this happen way too much. So what if you think someone's style is "ugly" or "weird?" That's subjective. Remember, at the end of the day, there's a human behind the screen.

I was going to make an actually edited character card for her but I'm lowk not that motivated to post here rn

uhhh she's 25% Ukrainian, 25% Kazakh, and 50% Caucasian

note because idk if everyone knows this: Kazakhstan is mostly in Asia and from what I know from one of my friends that is from there, it is somewhat offensive to assume Kazakhs are European.

the Ukrainian and Kazakh come from the purple dad idk. Elisabeth's birth name is Elisaveta but I just put Elisabeth in the title for ease of understanding. She usually goes by Elisa-Marie.

Rules for making you a child (4-11) OC -

1. give me a prompt, description of whatever you want me to include. the rest, I'll just improvise. Please include age.
2. you can use the OC for whatever. I'll give you the code, etc. This will be in GL2. Also, please credit me !!
3. Has to be a child OC since I want to practice my child style right now !
4. Include a 🐻.

I won't do every prompt, just the ones that interest me (my style genuinely takes upwards of 1+ hours to make an OC and if I get really invested, 2-3 hours or more sometimes) the age part is also just the range I want to practice. warning in advance that I might make the OC into one of my OCs if I like how the design turns out

Rules for remaking your OC in my style -

1. choose either adult or child, not really doing teens right now since I'm mainly trying to practice kids and adults.
2. Gender and any important characteristics.
3. Send one OC.
4. Code preferred!
5. Include a 🐶.

I won't redesign every OC since same reason as above. The difference in this case is that I'll probably see OCs that interest me but I just don't have the time or energy to do !!

A girl borne from a dragon egg. awsl aaaaa

She has no dragon blood, yet exhibits dragon characteristics due to her unusual incubation in a dragon egg. Her father is a god who does not really care to raise his own children, who are merely long-living beings at best and very rarely, immortal. Little Lián developed into an immortal though, due to being a human nursed as a dragon. Her father transferred her developing embryo to a dead/stillborn egg, and she developed draconic features from her environment in the egg and from partially absorbing the stillborn dragon for nutrients.

It is actually quite a bit of a miracle the child survived being incubated in such a strange setting.

Her clothes are woven from scrap cloth and shed dragon scales. Typically, a dragon would eat their own shed for extra calcium and essence^(1) but Qiú Lián is allowed to take up to a quarter of each dragon's shed. She has a dragon mount since her wings are very weak, and that dragon is her adoptive brother, the only surviving true dragon from their litter.

Dragons are typically quite solitary though most do enjoy hanging around the same territories as other dragons. Little Lián sees her mother from time to time.

Qiú Lián has never met her father.

虬 (qiú) - little dragon with horns. I've also seen it mean wingless dragon in contradicting texts. The main meaning in Qiú Lián's name is the first translation, but her wings are quite weak.

莲 (lián) - Lotus and purity in a spiritually enlightened sense, also "出淤泥而不染", or "it grows from mud yet it isn't soiled". The last part from a poem is not related to little Lián, I just like that poem a lot. (I hope I remembered the line right)

First time I haven't edited a post other than the original GL2 screenshot in a loooooong time; I felt it suited this post and her better

throws this at the subreddit and runs away

also likeee he's very obviously male to me but idk if that's obvious to everyone (looks pointedly at my recent post with deep annoyance)

foxmoth god boy loser

Beowulf (remember them? the person who scammed Chibimation out of $10k?) has come back after almost a year of silence and she posted a statement saying that a lot of the rumours about her are false. She said she'd been struggling with serious mental health issues, was being evaluated for schizophrenia, and that those struggles led to things like her relying on AI and making poor decisions. She apologized for using AI and for promoting an AI app, but many people felt the statement focused more on explaining her behaviour than taking responsibility for the problems that happened during Chibimation.

She has apparently rebranded as JesterPup and is now developing a new furry browser game called Furrytopia. She's been recruiting volunteers through Reddit and Discord, and there are plans for a future Kickstarter. The concern is that many people in the furry community don't know about the Chibimation controversy, since the project is being promoted under a different name + whenever anything remotely revealing is brought up, "JesterPup" acts as if they are not actually Beowulf.

The biggest issue people still have is the Chibimation Ko-fi fundraiser. Over $10,000 was raised for the game's development, and although Beowulf recently released a document showing some of the expenses, critics say it only accounts for part of the money. They argue that thousands of dollars are still unexplained, that some purchases didn't match what donors were originally told the funds would be used for, and that she never provided the level of financial transparency her former team requested. Also, Beowulf has lied before in the past so take that as you will.

Beowulf still hasn't fully taken accountability and the original video creator, Arssen is worried she'll repeat the same mistakes with Furrytopia, especially if it ends up being crowdfunded. Beowulf disputes many of the accusations and says misinformation has been spread about her, so some aspects of the situation remain contested, but that's the main reason people are warning others about the new project.

My thoughts -

I've also done my own research on this, so I'm not just blindly following what a video creator (Arssen) says.

"I have this disability so that makes all my actions okay", is what it seems like they're saying :/

I hate seeing mental disorders used as an excuse because people with it are already stigmatised enough. not saying she doesn't have what she claims to have, just saying she shouldn't bring up her possible mental conditions to be used as excuses. (this is coming from a neurodivergent person). We as bystanders can't really say if she has the disorders she claims or not (of course we can have our own opinions on that though), but regardless, the way she's hiding behind her alleged disabilities is scummy and harmful to people with those mental disorders.

I'm autistic + I have ADHD and anxiety (diagnosed), and I've struggled before and still do, but it's our responsibility to learn how to manage and regulate ourselves, neurodivergent or neurotypical whether that's through receiving help from others or working on yourself semi-alone.

Some mental disabilities might be harder to live with and we can be understanding of that, but that should never be an excuse to be a scummy person, and it's quite ironic she's using her possible disorders (not saying she doesn't have them btw) as a crutch when the community she scammed is full of neurodivergent people + I'm sure some of the people working with her are neurodivergent too (I forgot which video I heard that from)

I'm not an adult yet, but I had to learn self-control because that's how maturing works. We live in a society and there are certain gives and takes we all must agree to. Social contract.

TLDR: imo fuck Beowulf.

This took me a while to type, hope I haven't messed anything up. Link to the video I watched : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGyILhou3Z8&t=844s&pp=ygUJYmVvd3VsZnZ0

I made her because of a Discord VC challenge we had in a Gacha server I'm in "yesterday" night (It's 1:33 AM right now). She was supposed to be based off of the paint colour, HC-44, but I sort of forgot that and was sidetracked 😅

Róisín (roh-sheen) means little rose. 楓 (fēng) is maple. 小 (xiǎo) is little. Her name in Chinese is "maple" (affectionately) or "little maple." She does not have a typical Chinese name with a last name and a name; 楓楓 is in a nickname style and 小楓 is an affectionate nickname.

She is a travelling merchant bunny girl.
