like, i think that neon white is obviously gunning for the 'embrace your inner cringe' ethos, but it doesn't work for me because my cringe middle school self wasn't drawing edgy half-demon half-vampire anime twinks with 100 belts, she was sneering at those people for not understanding that Real Art was writing a 10,000 word dictionary for your conlang for your fantasy world thats Like DND But Better (twice as many types of elves and the roman empire is there)

#tattletxt #and obviously in case the subtext is not clear enough this is not saying that one of these is better than the other yknow #just articulating why this specific homage to a specific subculutre doesn't speak to me #similar to stuff like vylet pony or the sparkledog renaissance--i think this could be a powerful reclamation of a certain moment in culture #for somebody who is v. much not me
