Reading this thread makes me think it is an issue rooted in Disney themselves. How the company was built, how people was staffed and how nothing has changed for 100 years. The things that go behind the scenes were probably seeping through the movies we see Disney in. New people get hired every time …
Your post reminded me of this video, specifically the part around 7:30. I can't say for certain whether or not Disney (or any other company) is doing this on purpose, but I wouldn't be surprised either way. Whether they're meticulous trolls or bumbling and out of touch, it's making them money,…
I can definitely see how they might use this strategy but I think they're just idiots, tbh. The people at the top, so the ones who only care about profits and don't know how to make a good movie, think they know what people want--"woke" stuff. Because they're ghouls who only care about money, none o…
Do you have any favorite sharp teeth characters? Share them with us, whether they're your OCs or from other works. Here are some my favorite characters: Hiruma Yoichi From "Eyeshield 21", the quarterback of the Deimon Devil Bats. I like characters like him who 'fight with their brains', although…
Just to start, I've never been a fan of the advice to "write what you know." It's super limiting for most writers. I voted for "understanding." I think there's a point where you stop wanting stuff to be completely "accurate " and allow yourself creative liberties. A small town in rural Idaho isn't…
The way I see it, you need understanding to write about something that understanding can come from research or experience. Understanding will come with experience but not the other way around. I did manage the other way around once or twice, but that is because I ended up learning a lot about myself…
I said "experience" but what I mean more literally is "write from empathy when possible". There are a lot of things I haven't lived, some thankfully, some less so, but from what I have lived I've got some experience of the thing. I don't know what it's like to flee your country because of war, w…
Sure, write what you know doesn't have to be so literal. It's better as a negative - don't write what you don't know. I once knew a guy who wanted to write a post apocalyptic story set in Russia - but literally his entire exposure to Russia and Russian culture at that point was the game Metro 2033. …

Most people put effort into their humor writing, even when their jokes are really good. Humor is a skill you have to develop. Most people make a LOT of really not funny jokes before they make funny ones. It just takes time. Plus TV shows and movies have tons of people working on them and screening j…
The thing is: some probably did. You know how if you watch sports competitions like say horse riding, or gymnastics the athletes make it look seamless? Like you can see it's impressive, but it barely looks like they broke a sweat galloping through those trees or swinging from that pole? Yeah that st…
If I was forced to make a Powerpuff Girl Live Action show, I would probably do something similar to PPGZ where they aged up the characters to teenagers. I would have them in high school and have plots centered around high school drama and such. Maybe there will be a rival school that the villains at…
I hate all the modern live action adaptations of animated characters right off the bat - so I would have nixed the projects to begin with. In my book live action is always inferior to animation. There were no redeeming traits based on the trailer! If I was to make a "for adults only" Powerpuffs a…
I'd say first: work out what you're actually scared of. Like you've felt this nebulous scared feeling but you've probably never sought to interrogate it, because it's way easier to realise you're just working yourself up over nothing when you actually think about it. Like, some common examples: "…
I normally draw hands as "claws" or "mittens". [:sip:] However, for breaking down shapes from real-life references -- I "sometimes" split things at the joints (usually ball-and-socket or hinge b/c easy to understand although it's actually much more complex): Palm -- where hand starts from forea…
This REALLY helped me @DokiDokiTsuna I can’t thank you enough, I’ve been struggling particularly with the palm (fingers I’ve definitely gotten the hang of) and how to attach the fingers onto the palm. These tutorials are amazing. Thank you!
Well I'm hardly the expert, but here are some tips I always use: Always get a hand reference. I use 3d models for distant hands and photos for closeups. Remember that the hand is part of character design - a character with large rough hands must be drawn differently than a character with dainty…
I'm not sure if you thought my paragraph mentioning the idiot husband was referring to a trope, I'm actually referring to real life occurrences. Same thing with the husbands saying they hate their wife. And anyways, I acquiesce on the marriage part specifically, but it doesn't detract from my la…
Actually now that I mentioned AoT I just realized Ymir literally IS the girl as weapon trope, she was literally used by the king to create more titans for his conquests. And also apparently in love with him? @_@ Yeeah, despite being enslaved and implied to be sexually abused by the king her whole li…
I haven't played it, but after reading your description and the wiki I'm glad I haven't. It sounds terrible. Very anime in a bad way. If I'm doing a sentient weapon (I have for D&D) it is a huge missed opportunity to wipe their memories between owners!
I would say Mikasa from Attack on Titan is a variation of this trope, she's not literally "a weapon" that other people use but she is essentially super powerful woman whose main characterization basically revolves around Eren. Actually, you could say she is basically a "tool" for Ymir to seek valida…
I couldn't think of anything that really fit this trope perfectly. Soul Eater and Noragami came to mind first, tbh, but to me they do a better job at treating the "weapons" as actual characters. Maybe that proves your point about this being an issue with male leads and female "weapons" though, becau…
Have you read Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao? It uses the whole girl as a weapon (or in the book case, magic battery for mechs). The protagonist is someone who was crippled to fit the world beauty standard, and volunteers to become one of those magical batteries in the hope of having the chance to kil…
I'll admit that since I don't watch mid anime much, I haven't run into this trope as much - could you give some examples of the trope that I can analyze specifically? Is this a trope more common in trash wish fulfillment isekais? The best example of this trope I can think of is Nia Teppelin from Gur…
If I'm reading OP's post correctly, I think it's talking about female characters who could just as easily be replaced by a cool sword or gun that only the main character can use, not so much a superhero or all-powerful woman who actually gets to decide when to use her powers. (I haven't seen this tr…
@DokiDokiTsuna plot twist.....again [image]
I'd like to think I'm halfway decent at them. [image]
I have a lot of issues with most romance fiction, which is one reason I'm writing one! This is excluding the smut that gets called romance, I think of smut and romance as separate genres. Apart from the general inability of writers to write well, there are some issues I have with the romance genr…
In my opinion: false I simply refuse to limit people's creativity. I will not look at writers and dismiss their attempts by saying they can't write romance because they can't write--- more so when they post their content here free for folks to read. That is rude and not helpful, and frankly, wrong. …
I don't think it's a case of writers (at least the majority) not knowing how to write romance, rather that the romance genre is awash with so many books and is so popular, that it's easier and more profitable to write some half decent slop than to try and craft a more genuine story. From what I kn…
