If there is a fangirl out there who literally cannot enjoy anything that is not cute ("Ew at fanart that isn't chibis" and "Ew at fanfic unless it's couch cuddling and face kisses") then I guess that's kind of silly and immature. But there's nothing wrong with enjoying chibis of your favorite pairings. Personally, I like chibis of my OTP and I like the fic where one of them has to instruct the other on how to cut a bomb out of his abdomen without any proper tools. I will go all gooey over the former, and all "come at me fic, my body is ready" over the latter.

But if someone saw me being gooey over the chibis, and was a judgmental sort of person, they may well jump to thinking cuteness is my number one priority. And if said person were a judgmental and sexist sort of person, they may well jump to thinking I'm "the kind of girl who only likes cute stuff" by which they would mean: silly, dizty, easily dismissed. Yeah, fuck that.

Also, I notice that the chibis in that PoI fanart are active and appear to be doing the kind of bamfy stuff the character actually do on the show. So what's the problem? They're not being depicted as silly, incapable versions of themselves; they're still bamfs, they're just cute bamfs. Their cuteness does not in fact negate their ability to be tech savvy or shoot bad guys or whatever.

The term "bamf" as a noun used to refer to the cute chibi versions of originally-scary X-Man Nightcrawler.

That's kind of too perfect.

Hahaha, awesome, I never knew that! Perfect coincidence is perfect.
