Hot take: The Cosmo Mischaracterization Goes Both Ways.

Cosmo is my favourite character. He's sweet, caring, oblivious to jokes, a little too nervous for his own good, and very self-sacrificial (why does nobody talk about this part?) Since I'm one of the rare cosmo fans who like him for who he is-or just rare cosmo fan period since they don't exist unless they like fruitcake...- I DESPISE mischaracterization of him, especially by people who don't even like him that much. People (not even cosmo fans) get enraged when Cosmo is even REMOTELY feminine... despite him obviously being a feminine guy in cannon. No, it's not making him an uwu femboy to draw him with his literally cannon cute asf stockings. It's okay for him to be a Twink... Anyways, not everybody overreacts like that but some people who hate it try to be different by going the complete opposite, even if it means changing his entire fucking character. YOU ARE STILL MISCHARACTERIZING COSMO. I see him turned into a very masculine, confident, snarly guy and people go "Wow! finally an accurate Cosmo!)

... DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO COSMO IS?? Like I'm fine with OOC but own up to it. And if suddenly the fandom can handle OOC, then we all need to give Junepa0 a huge apology.

Oh right and side note, people who like top Cosmo always feel the need to completely change his personality and make him taller, like... just make an oc at this point. You don't need to change his character to make him a 'top', at that point, just don't.

someone has definitely done this before but thats ok

when too good to be true is now just keeping yourself alive

Modern Punk Style

I need like, a new punk style. But suitable for modern times. Like sure, Doc Martens were great but now they're just flimsy and super expensive. Working class? yeah right. Leather jackets? Uh... not as affordable as they used to be. Basically the style has become capitalized and it's not accessible anymore. Which is why I wonder, how would punk look if it was? What are strong but cheap clothing products in todays times? good shoes? Common thrift store styles? Looks that go COMPLETELY against social norms, things that are considered 'ugly'. Turn it into a style! Please share if you come up with something, im so interested!

who's surprised

What if...

we started making Cosmo content about his character that didn't revolve around Sprout? Like actually diving into him and his character (ie. His self-sacrificial tendencies.)

Crazy radical thought, I know./sarc But srsly I think it would be cool and change that weird view people in the fandom have of him, which is really just none at all because they have no idea what he's like, which is how all these mischaracterizations start up!

book spreading the love!

Uh hey chat… We don’t talk about how I’ve been gone for like 2 months… I literally haven’t had anything to draw and have slowly started forgetting that tumblr exists 😔

Guys please give me stuff to draw book doing I’m out of options and my brain hurts 😭

Enjoy this very old and bad art I made a while back of book doing pillow’s makeup ig

SUPER cool theory!! I agree with everything you said and even had the same ideas, just wanted to say though that star buns are totally possible with black curly hair! its so cool!! There's actually. this amazing black hair sculpting girl that has a popular video on doing that EXACT hair style Aika has, which I can't believe im only realizing now. I think they got inspiration from her!

Who is Aika Really?✨🌟✨

There's a lot to enjoy from @kianamaiart's animatic pilot, Pretty Pretty Please I Don't Want To Be A Magical Girl. It subverts expectations while providing fun characters and a fun concept. Our story introduces us to an "ordinary" girl named, Aika spending her first day at high school. She makes a new friend with a lonely girl named, Zira and gets a perfect score on her first in-class assignment. It's not until she's met by her "magical best friend", Hoshi that she's reminded of a very important duty. A duty in which Aika wants no part in. It wouldn't be until lunch time that things REALLY start to go off the rails. A powerful young man announces himself as, Eclipse (or Moon Man, as Aika puts it) while smashing through the school walls demanding for The Star Guardian to reveal herself. Zira tries to protect her new friend, but Aika rushes in to save the day reluctantly revealing that she is in fact The Star Guardian and a magical girl. We've already established that Aika isn't normal, but is there something else about her?

She recently moved into a new town wanting a normal life. Hell, the school that she goes to is literally called, School McSchool Memorial School. If that isn't the most blandest name for a school, I don't know what is. She's also really eager to do normal things such as getting ready for class, eating lunch, meeting losers, and doing tests. Speaking of which, she certainly does have a somewhat high intelligence since she was the only one in class to get a perfect score. When Hoshi comes to confront her about trapping the little star in a box, Aika is very adamant on maintaining this normal life saying that she "needs this" and "whatever needs to be done can be handled by the others back home". Others? Who are these others?

I feel as if Aika may be something more than what we're led on to believe. I think she may not have come from Earth. Or maybe she's always been magical, but never went to a school because of this. Think about it! She learns Zira is a "loser" and she immediately says, "Wow! A real life high school loser!" which is odd because you'd think she'd already know what a loser is at her age. She doesn't eat normally by how she scarfed down her food during lunch, her high test scores, how she randomly tells the teacher she loves her, she has never experienced a fire drill, she introduces herself to Zira by saying "I'm a normal girl with average talent & absolutely no secrets", and her hairstyle. If you've noticed, Aika's hairstyle is different from every other character (at this moment). Her hair also compliments her companion, Hoshi. What if she comes from a place where everything and everyone has this star motif going on? What if she was an alien civilian who was told by Hoshi that she was magical and right after she trapped Hoshi in a box, she booked it to planet Earth in the most normal-looking place to rebelliously live the life she always wanted to live. I could be wrong of course, but that's just a theory. But now that evil is growing, Aika will have to save the world (and likely the universe) whether she likes it or not with new friends along the way!
