Jaws the Revenge is far more boring in its badness.

[(Anonymous)]

They are both stupid.

The author actually addressed this question, since it apparently comes up a lot: https://www.tiktok.com/@xiranjayzhao/video/7065056992443878662

I. I mean. I would legit love that story you made up there. Damnit, now I'm sad it doesn't exist. :/

[(Anonymous)]

i feel that way about most generic 'fantasy realism' if thats a thing. i can't stand ffxiv either for the same reason. anime characters pasted onto a generic fantasy realism world

i love the art of fantasy worlds that have their own unique style that doesn't try to be 'realistic' though. or does 'realism' with their own flair like borderlands

[(Anonymous)]

Right? Westerners should get in on this.

Secrets you don't want to make...

[(Anonymous)]

... but you wouldn't mind if someone else made them for you! As always, including the fandom and full character names is a big help, and I'll try my best to use an appropriate image choice. Just to clarify - it's my intention to make all the secrets left in this thread, so even if they're not marked claimed, they will be made.

I'll monitor this thread until tomorrow's secret post goes up, so feel free to leave your comments until then!

Yours truly,

a secret maker

My feelings are that this is complicated. I'm all for scanty ladies and men but if all the men are dressed relatively normally and the ladies are in bikinis on the battlefield, then I'm going to complain. Now, if a couple ladies are in bikinis but others are in fatigues and others dressed in full body armor, then it becomes something more along the lines of 'does the bikini match the lady's personality' which is a more interesting question to me, because yeah, look at any group of men or ladies. You're gonna get those who are dressed conservatively and those who are dressed practically and those who are dressed inappropriately and those who think every color ought to be worn at the same time and a lot of crossover between every option.

So basically, if the canon has a wide variety of characters and those characters are dressed in a similarly wide variety of styles then... cool. It's all good.

... not sure that clears it up for me. She cites Chinese literary history and points to historical figures being included in other narratives, but that isn't what she's doing. She's just taking the names of famous people and using them for her OCs.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean Abraham Lincoln: vampire hunter exists, so it's not as if no one does this, it's just kind of uncommon.

[(Anonymous)]

yeah I would 100% read the shit out of that story

[(Anonymous)]

/shrug Sure. As long as you understand that the Elizabeth Tudor in that made-up example wouldn't be the historical Elizabeth Tudor, but the author's OC that just happens to have the same name.
