#mogeko critical

Do I want to know iw who funamusea is and why they're bared

funamusea/DSP/mogeko (various names shes gone by) is an rpg maker game developer who was particularly popular around 2013-2016. shes the creator of mogeko castle, wadanohara and the great blue sea, and the gray garden.

if all that still doesnt ring a bell, the general gist is that her content promotes extremely harmful things - sexual abuse in particular is routinely used for shock value, for comedy, and for glorification and fetishization factor all at the same time in her work. she has also been called out for racism against koreans with her continued insistence on using the rising sun flag and blocking koreans when they informed her of its history.

she is an extremely problematic creator and i do not think her games can be enjoyed critically given that the ways in which she glorifies and sexualizes abuse extends throughout all of her work, even her most 'safe' game. so i will not allow funamusea characters on this blog.

for the ask meme, how about the letters B, C, F, G, I, K and X?

B - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind

If I have to choose which pairing came into mind, it's Fukami x Dolphi from WATGBS. That being their older versions that is. I remembered browsing around I think either Pixiv or Lofter back in 2014 and I stumbled upon a cute fanart of the older versions of them, Dolphi sleeping on Fukami's shoulder while I thiiink he was slightly blushing in the pic. Seeing this fanart, I didn't shipped them at first but I thought it was pretty cute and they had potential! Then later, someone in the fandom discovered that fanart and from there they made a whole new revolution of them creating a cute askblog and created lots of cute fanarts of them and yeah! Because of them, I ended up shipping them! 🐙🐬💞

C - A pairing you have never liked and probably never will

I have like maybe 6 NOTP's(???) that makes my blood boil LOL but I guess I'll name them

Wadanohara x anybody else but except Samekichi (Out of all wada pairings I hate the most is SalWada. I still very much hate the ship to this very day and even seeing it on sight makes me reaaaaaalllly severely uncomfortable)

Samekichi x anybody else but except Wadanohara

Tao Ren x anybody else but except Jeanne

Iron Maiden Jeanne x anybody else but except Ren. (Honestly the only Shaman King ship that makes my blood boil is Hao x Jeanne, I hate it a lot)

I also don't ship Hao with no one either, he's better off being single :p

I'm also not the biggest fan of OC x Canon pairings either since majority of the ships I like most of the time, I just can't stand see them being paired off with anyone else (I'm not a multishipper in general either) BUT if anyone enjoys this then your absolutely valid and cool. It's just not for me so I really try to avoid and filter/block this out.

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom

I doubt I'll remember but in almost all fandoms I'm in are mostly only in the shipping sides

2007 - 2012 (5 years): SasuSaku (Sasuke x Sakura from naruto)

2014 - 2019 (5 years): Samewada (Samekichi x Wadanohara from WATGBS)

2015 - now (As of 8 years atm) RenMei (Tao Ren x Iron Maiden Jeanne from Shaman King). Fun fact: I kiiinda did peak at the SK fandom from afar after I finished watching the 01 anime in 2015 during my spring break in school at the time but I never touched the main fandom cuz everyone during that time was hostile towards RenMei and there was too many RenMei antis so I would take a peek from time to time and eventually moved on, only until around 2018 Takei drew their official wedding art, made even more RenMei crumbs in Red Crimson/Marcos and from then on I got heavily invested in the ship

G - Do you remember your first OTP, if so who was in it

Sasuke Uchiha x Sakura Haruno from Naruto. Been shipping them since 2007 and still ship them to this very day. So 16 years, I'm a veteran fan haha

I - Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why

Sadly yeaaaaa uhhh...

DSP (Deep sea prisoner). I ended up not vibing in the fandom because there were too many antis, wasn't a huge fan of many dark icky fanarts in general, there was also some fans that acted like supremacists, too many dramas would keep occuring (I remembered the dark days when the Mogeko Critical blogs were active from late 2016 to 2018) and yeah I excluded myself out somewhere in I think 2017 or 2018, it wasn't worth it.

Shaman King. Just like how I explained in the F section, the fandom had waaaayyy too many RenMei antis, heck RenMei is still hated by the fandom, a lot of huge popular blogs in the fandom back in the day treated RenMei shippers horribly (I'm not kidding) ranging from sending hate/death threats and ostracizing RenMei shippers out from the fandom, no one stood up for RenMei shippers when they were getting bashed for shipping Ren x Jeanne and it was awful. I even had a few friends back in the day that either got chased out from the fandom for having an opinion on them and another case was them being bullied to the point they ended up having traumatic experiences, left the fandom and it took them years to recover in therapy. People in the fandom straight up called us shippers terrible awful human beings for shipping a 4 year age gap and we should feel ashamed for it (And it gets even worse because the same people that called us bad awful human beings are also hypocrites and also ship problematic age gap ships in SK... and yet Renmei is somehow still considered the worst pairing???) Aaaand yeah because of the tumblr experience I've witnessed from afar, I didn't enter the fandom. (Until yeaaaars later I kinda tried to, in a discord server but I ended up not liking the experience as a whole because ppl on the server barely shipped RenMei, ppl got away with shitting on RenMei on there, I got blocked by a ex staff for shipping RenMei and almost most of the staff members are all RenMei antis and because of this experience, I completely gave up trying to be part of the SK fandom, it was not worth it as a RenMei shipper)

K - How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom

In the western side, everyone is really nice in the RenMei fandom even if it's really small. I used to be lonely for being the only hardcore shipper for them until 2 hardcore friends came along and I don't feel lonely anymore. I just recently became friends with a RenMei friend (Who was a veteran fan) a few months ago and I've had the most absolute time of my life hanging out talking and drawing the ship with them nearly almost everyday.

As for the JP fandom, I vibe with almost everyone on there as well, everyone is very supportive of the ship. Though I do have to admit, I kiiinda don't vibe well with a few fans sexualizing the younger kid versions of RenMei but we won't talk any further about that...

3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms

I think I listed them down already in section F but I guess we can do other different OTP's

Natsume Hyuuga x Mikan Sakura from Gakuen Alice

Gruvia (Gray Fullbuster x Juvia Lockser from Fairy Tail)

Amuto (Ikuto Tsukiyomi x Amu hinamori from Shugo Chara)

In other words, she’s most likely going to pull the same shit with Satanick and give Roc some realization that he “does love Lobco after all” and vice-versa, yet still make him continue to abuse her, tossing out all instances of character development for the lolz.

[midgay-amusement]

You will probably know who this is regarding, and y’all can jump on me all you want about this. I am tired of seeing small artists get harassed for drawing stuff based on stuff that has been around in real life forever. You see a character with a similar hairstyle to your favorite character, you automatically accuse them of copying said fave, even though tons of other people have wore the hairstyle in public before. You see a character inspired by a thing seen in your favorite artist’s work, you accuse them of copy your favorite artist again, when  a real thing that you may have not heard of or is in a different culture. Instead of harassing them and making them feel bad about their art, just ask them what the character or content is inspired by. You may learn a lot from what others base their art off of, and maybe get some inspiration from them as well.

TW F***MUSEA, EYE STRAIN, WEAPONS, SATANIC IMAGERY, MOVING IMAGES, BRIGHT COLORS

Ever since I deleted my old accounts (umbreonoveryonder, artistic-sluglord, daily-jevil, etc.) I haven’t publicly associated myself with anything m***ko related in a while since it is very problematic and others wanted to move on. This is more of an homage to the critical side of the fandom where they fixed characters with headcanons, one of them was making Kyou gay, which made me miss drawing Kyou. I don’t know if I’ll post the other drawings, but to everyone in the m*geko critical fanbase, thank you :)

A problem is the fact that people just say that everything in the show is a plot hole; when in reality is not, is because Liam's writing is about show don't tell, instead of tell don't show (that unfortunately is the most common in today's society, and people think is so mature for a character to say that they are depressed or going through problems, instead of ACTUALLY SHOWING THESE PROBLEMS); MD has the theme of existencial horror and existencial nihilism all around; is obvious that the humans programmed the machines to stop them from rebelling and feeling complex emotions such like grieved or feeling disturbed when somebody dies, because you can see that in the opening with the mural saying: "what hurts" behind Uzi, when J says that N is corrupted once he starts questioning things and feeling bad for his past actions, and on the opening when Uzi is talking about the mining planets stuff and you can see a bunch of worker drones going straight up to their deaths without even caring about it. Is all over the show and that's the whole deal with comedy horror; you're supposed to have fun because the characters think they can get out of this situation and then they don't take the situation seriously because "it all ends well in the end" but then the story progresses and they see and the viewers see that there is no hope and that defeating the boss is almost impossible; that's the case with many video games such like Mogeko Castle, Wadanohara, FNAF and some shows such like Villainous. Is NOT A PLOT HOLE that's literally the genre; the difference is that this is more normal in video games, and shows like these are rare so people are complaining about it because welll?? Idk because they can?? Like I am not smarter than anyone, nor I am perfect but as an avid reader it hurts that people call everything a plot hole, when in reality writing is no different than any other art, and it should be felt and appreciated instead of just criticized; instead of calling it a plot hole please try to analyze the midia you are consuming... And these same people are the ones that think that shows such as Helluva Boss have better writing and character development; uh??? Is not even the same type of show?? The characters are completely different mentally, physically and so on, and of course it would have better character development?? MD has only one season that is not even FINISHED YET, while HB has once finished season and 2 still running. Like seriously, stop calling everything a plot hole. Is ANNOYING!

Hot take:

Murder drones definitely have flaws, but is not as many as some people think and sometimes they just need to look at the show with other eyes.

“Hey dude, can I copy your homework?”

“Yeah, just change it up a bit so it doesn’t look obvious.”

Even then it could’ve just been an old commission he made for somebody, and just because somebody drew one character from one series (in this case, around 3-5 years ago) doesn’t mean that artist would have all the knowledge about the series. Heck, ever since I became a fan of Nebulamancers, I have noticed that both styles look beyond different!

Let’s take a look at the picture of Pyo’s old art style

In this image, Memoca is drawn with square pupils, bushy hair and wings, and bold lines, giving the picture an overall squishy feel.

Meanwhile, with Memoca’s canonical portrait, the lines are less soft, less saturated, thinner, while Memoca herself has circular pupils and simple-shaped wings.

Sure they may both have a cartoonish anime style, and I do too, but that doesn’t mean it’s art style theft. It’s a genre of art style. For example, Dance music uses a bunch of synths which have been used for other songs, but does that make it copying?!

No!

Let people draw how they want. Pyohato left the goddamn internet for this. He left both of his websites and all of his social media accounts because of this unnecessary drama!

super late but pyohato lied when he said that he had never heard of funamusea. google pyohato memoca and you'll see fanart of her drawn by him

Shut the fuck up that literally means nothing. That’s not an excuse to harass and send death threats to him. Even if it turned out he was the biggest Funamusea fan out there it still wouldn’t be justified. Art style theft DOES NOT FUCKING EXIST!!!

[accordion97]

the internet doesn’t need moral police. when will people realize this?

[truewadanoharafacts]

In regards to all this recent conflict about Lzet and his romantic relationship with Reficul being supposedly unnecessary, I just wanna chime in and say Sin and her relationship with Reficul isn’t all that developed either.

I mean, it’s nice that Sin and Reficul are a happily married couple, but that’s all DSP ever really depicts them as; a cutesy, lovey-dovey couple. It’s almost like Sin just exists to be Reficul’s wife, like those kinds of movie adaptations of certain stories where the writers add in some sort of love interest for the protagonist, and their only purpose is to get together with the hero in the end.

We know Lzet can get serious at times despite being mostly cowardly, but what about Sin? She’s apparently kind and loving, but is that seriously all? This is a character who’s based off not only the serpent from the Garden of Eden, but maybe even the daughter of Satan from Paradise Lost. And she is married to a devil! It’s understandable she loves her family dearly, but there’s gotta be some sort of sinister side to her, possibly when she’s not with Refi or Mors.

What exactly is the story behind Reficul and Sin’s relationship, as well as Reficul and Lzet? How did they meet? How did Refi get together with either one of them? How exactly did Lzet become Refi’s right-hand man, and was he her assistant before becoming her other lover? Were there any major struggles before Refi could get in a relationship with either of them? Was Sin always okay with Refi dating Lzet? Does Sin know Refi often tortures Ivlis? How do Sin and Lzet interact when Refi’s not around?

There’s so many questions I have regarding Reficul’s love life that I’ve come to the conclusion that even other canon couples like SameWada, YosaFroze, and Eticalb are better developed than Reficul’s relationships.

TW F-NAMUSEA MENTION AND N-BUL-M-NCERS ARTSTYLE DRAMA

funamusea fans who accuse pyo of copying characters shut the fuck up and go outside challenge.

(i censored n-bulam-ncers so my venting doesnt get onto the main tag)
