I agree with your sentiment. While it's true that cartoons and fiction feature imaginary characters and scenarios, they often reflect and influence our real-world desires, values, and aspirations. Many of the themes, values, and emotions portrayed in fiction resonate with us precisely because they tap into our fundamental human experiences and desires. For example, when we enjoy stories of bravery and heroism in fiction, it's because we admire those qualities in real life as well. When we connect with fictional characters' struggles, it's often because we can relate to similar challenges in our own lives. And when we find certain relationships or dynamics appealing in fiction, it's because they mirror our desires for connection and understanding in reality. So, dismissing the impact of fiction by saying, "It's not a real person," overlooks the profound ways in which fiction shapes our thoughts, values, and even our actions. Stories, whether in the form of cartoons, literature, or any other medium, have the power to influence and reflect our deepest desires and beliefs.5 points

it's still a WIP, but here's something I've been working on! It's just some drawings of some images I found off Pinterest (I would credit the people, but I've lost the images. Sorry! ). It's definitely not my favourite work of art, but I'm proud nonetheless. I've also improved quite a bit since I started it, haha. Not sure if I'll actually end up finishing it though lol5 points

Thank you so much! Getting to this point in the fundraiser it can feel like a dead end with raising so much and still a bit to go it feels like you've run the well dry so donations like this really help and I am very appreciative!5 points

This isn't the first time I've had dolls of anime characters (I have others of my OCs, some of those are on my profile and I may make a blog out of the photoshoots I do at some point) but it is my first canon character. I commissioned a nendoroid style head and used an Obitsu11 body, which I then very horribly put his tattoos on lol. I can't get over how heckin cute he is ‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·˚ the panda slippers!! It's too much x_x5 points

So what anime are you watching at the moment? For me it's Psycho-Pass. I'm loving it so much! It's a Sci-Fi detective thriller but It's quite deep, alongside the depth and action of Ghost in the Shell. And Shakespeare, lots of references to English literature! How about you?4 points

I've had a quick play with one of the AI programs and it generated some interesting pictures based on the words I typed in, but I don't really think I could 'claim' them as my own work. To my mind it's not all that different to raiding Google images for picture elements and combining them into something 'new', it's ultimately just stealing someone else's work. As a photographer I'd be a bit put out if I discovered someone was using parts of my photos to create their own pictures, I'd be more that just 'put out' if I was a professional photographer and earned my living taking and selling photos.4 points

Hi everyone! So I have been very inactive on here both on the forum side and updating this blog, with working in Spain for the last 4 months and then my father passing away unexpectedly everything has been very chaotic but the grind to the top of Africa never stopped. With our vaccines got last week (Hep B, Diptheria, and Yellow Fever) luckily my Tetanus was still in date! as someone who has very bad anxiety around needles hearing that we will be going through Kenya meant we'd need yellow fever vaccines quiet unfortunate but hey I managed to get through the 3 without fainting (cant say the same thing about straight after ) We've also been slowly getting the gear needed, I might do a post about that at some point. Really breaking through the bank account though. Anyway as the main focus of this trek as some of you might have known from the last post is raising money for MRF with 100% of the money donated going to them, We are currently 855 euro away from the final goal of 5490!!!!!!! So with a final grind and push (think I've emailed over 100 businesses and not one has responded) LETS HIT THIS GOALLL WOOOOH (Donation page has been removed since goal has been reached) (Any support is very much appreciated, whether its donation or spreading the word! <3)4 points

For me it's the artwork. Anime style seems to be different than cartoons. For me when I think about cartoons I think about Looney Tunes or Tom and Jerry, something like that When I think about anime I think about things like Naruto, SAO, FMA, with that specific artwork style. Also like @Animedragon said too it's the storyline. Anime seems to have an actual storyline with things progressing with each episode like a normal T.V show would, and when I think about cartoons I think about something that doesn't really have a storyline that goes from episode to episode.4 points

Finished The Dangers in My Heart . The first episode was kinda offputting, but thereafter the MC’s chuuni edgelord mannerisms get dialed back considerably to where he’s more awkward than anything & it winds up being a rather cute & funny romcom. A little less than halfway through Heavenly Delusion. Pretty strange series with things switching back & forth between 2 separate but connected settings & cast of characters. Got to admit the twist at the end of episode 2 caught me by surprise. Saw Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind at the movies/cinema this afternoon. Some newer anime fans might find the character designs & animation dated, but very nostalgic for me very similar to the period when I first discovered & became fascinated with anime. One of my favorite Ghibli films & heroines.4 points

Hello, I guess this is where I re introduce myself. Hi it's been a minute the last time I've been active on here or even using a fourm. All I want to say first off is im sorry to those if I ever hurt anyone in anyway or by me leaving the fourm. I was major mess back then and needed to go for my health sake. I'm not the same person back in 2018, I'm re born into something new, and proud to say I'm in a wonderful place now and at peace. I noticed some of the people I used to know back then on here still, which is pretty cool. Well I'm never really good at these so I'll shall take my leave. I hope to enjoy the fourm once again and contribute. Thank you for listening.3 points

This has been bugging me for some time now and i need your opinion please. I see a lot of people starting threads or replying only with their opinion. So lets look at the " what are you watching" thread. People post their opinion and reply. I see this so many times. I cannot explain it better than to tell that everyone live their own live. We post our reply and we post our thread, without reading eachothers. I am guilty as well. i post a reply on a anime i love. BUT at least i always tell myself,..read the previous 3 replies and like them. Can we use this foru m to read and understand eachother instead of webloggin your opinion?3 points

Hiiii again! I've finally got some photoshoots happening with my anime bjds, so I thought I'd share them here. I'm gonna start with my newest doll but will probably add some more as I take them. There's a few on my profile too as status updates. The final photo at the bottom is my setup for today's shoot I go a little nuts with the sparkles, lol3 points

I agree. It is easy to get caught up in trying to meet other peoples' expectations. Other people aren't always considerate of your particular circumstances or abilities, and often they're more about getting you to do what they want you to do than motivating you to do better at what you want to do. I don't usually make NY resolutions but my overall philosophy or goal is to just to always do better than I did last time at everything I do. It's a simple, realistic goal, you can't cheat (or at least you know when you're cheating), and it still provides motivation in a positive direction so you don't slack off. Over the years I've also found that by simply using myself as a yardstick I ultimately tend to wind up well ahead of the crowd in areas I care about, which provides more positive reinforcement. It's a lot less stressful than trying to live up to unrealistic goals such as beating out the other 7 billion humans to be "the best" at something.3 points

Hanging about with some old armor! Up until a few years ago these were running but over time parts got hard to find and now they are out front a mil surplus company near me. They used ride the one below with the rubber track feet in parades with people dressed up in period gear. Sadly no pictures of it running that I know of.3 points

I've been practising my anatomy a lot these past few days, and really been trying to focus more on the overall structure of the muscles and torso. The first drawing is one I doodled in English class today, the second one I just finished. I messed up the perspective but overall I'm proud ^^ just a quick warning for a shirtless woman (I'm not 100% if I can post this, so, uh, yippee ig)3 points

He's a thief and will steal anything he can get grab, including mops. Love to see your own furry babies or your photographs of wildlife3 points

For me what defines an anime and separates it from being a cartoon is the quality of the background artwork along with characters that are well designed, drawn and animated to look and act like real people. Yes, I know real people don't have really large eyes, but that's part of the anime visual style and it's often the detail in the eyes which bring a character to life. For me the other aspect that separates anime from cartoons is the storylines, anime always seems to me to have more serious and thoughtful stories that cartoons. Someone once said that cartoons are story driven and the story dictates how the characters act, while anime is more character driven and the actions of the characters directs the flow of the story.3 points

Okay. So. I love reincarnation styled isekai. Girl/guy gets hit by unexpected incoming lorry or bus etc...gets reincarnated. We've seen that being done several times over....BUT... what if the anime is from the driver's perspective. And he goes around accidentally sending random people off and narrowly avoids jail and eventually becomes notorious and ends up in jail in season 2. It would start of as slice of life and then slowly change genre as his life goes from peaceful to hell.3 points

Heeeheh~ I was kinda too nervous to post here, but! I tried cell-shading some chibis and it turned out ok, so why not? Brunette is my beloved OC Shizumoto Kaede and the white-haired bob-cut fellow an equally beloved canon villain from season 1 of Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE!, Kusatsu Kinshiro. I am a shameless OC insert kind of person and Kaede is one of my absolute favorites. Having someone so clumsy that she's basically a walking hazard as a hero is just In short, she's my baby lol. You'll probably be seeing more of her here in the future~ Please, if possible keep criticism to yourself; I'm happy with this the way it is and can't make changes to it now anyway.3 points

Oh yes! After I left school I was having a turn out of school related rubbish stuff and I found an old exercise book from my time in junior school, when I read some of it I wondered why, and how, I have the nerve to write such cringe-worthy rubbish in a school book for my teacher to read. I comprehensively destroyed the document so that nobody else could find it and use it against me. I'm really glad there was no such thing as the Internet and forums when I was younger.3 points
