I Wanna Eat Your Guts is a potential upcoming animation series created by Brujo Ari and Shockwave Animation. Despite the series's lack of content, some farmers some how have found much to talk about, annoying others in the process.
Here you may nitpick, speculate, redesign characters etc. to your heart's deepest desires.

Kate's nlog gendie shit is retarded but at least it causes some sort of inner turmoil and conflict with the other girls, something I can't say the same with Alex.

It's convoluted. There's not much very lesbian about kate/alex, she always draws him as just a guy and whatever ssa content she does feels pandery (muh heckin toxic yuri enemies to lovers?????) or has to include a tim.

Its a genderbent OC based on a m/m ship that brujo would claim is still trans. Obviously this spark arguements about whether it was transphobic art or calling it transphobic was the real transphobic. Eventually brujo got tired of rage baiting western fujos and now just says it's a pretransition OP to get people to shut up.
Additional lore is Brujo being an NLOG and obviously using the self insert to vent about "mean women".

The change in art style is a weird decision but I suppose she feels pressured to settle on something now that she's working on a show. I think people liked her angular y2k inspired artstyle, her shift to more rounded shapes by contrast reads as very modern so I wonder what her longtime fans think of it. She might not intend it that way but it comes across as generic coom artist. Maybe she thinks the pointy boobs help connect her current art style to her old work but it's discordant.

To me it seems like she's abandoning her unique-selling-point as an artist in favor of something more generic but perhaps it could be intentional to attract a broader, more gendersplit audience. Could also be an unintended consequence of grinding her anatomy fundies.

If she isn't interested in developing Kate's female friends then she just shouldn't have any. Kate's 'thing' could be about being the sole girl in the friend group and how that friend dynamic changes once the characters enter their teenage years. Her not getting on well with other girls makes sense because she hasn't had much opportunity to practice that, it's known that it's easy to be a tomboy as a little kid and harder as a teen. Would be better than having a cast of female characters that end up reading as offensive caricatures.

I've never heard of this until seeing it on the front page. The colors in all of these pieces are so offensively ugly and disharmonious; I'm not an artfag, but how can anyone stand it? The dialogue is so stiff and unnatural (particularly >>503688) and probably lost the depth it would've had in her native language.

I'm not sure if this would be considered as an unpopular opinion but I feel like having your characters be based off of other cartoon characters is a set-up for failure. It's always a tell-tale sign that the creator lacks any experience to tell an interesting story, and can only create traction based off of a few cool ideas. Maybe brujo can be able to give more depth to kate's character based off of her own experiences rather than assigning a handful of exaggerated tropes she likes into a singular nlog. I wouldn't even mind a story about a nlog girl, because I know many anons who experienced the 90s/early 2000s struggled a lot as many mean girls did bully them into hanging out with men. But I really don't think brujo is able to write about complexity in any capacity. I can think of a few cool ideas for kate's character but I don't think it will ever cross brujo's mind. Shame!

Brujo can't write a character like Kate with real life experience because Brujo has never been a hot nlog surrounded by scrotes.

No. 504508

Looking at her work I think Brujo really wasn’t anticipating on doing anything substantial with her OCs other than just having fun sharing her little mind dollies with everyone. They were not originally conceptualized for a specific story or specific format, and when all you’re doing is sharing doodles that’s fine, but now she has an opportunity to develop a story around her characters and they have shaky foundation to write upon. I don’t know what the financials are like for the studio she’s working with, I suppose they think a show is the right approach for reasons unknown to us, but I’m coming around to thinking Brujo would probably have a much easier time developing this story into a 2 hour film instead of a show. It just doesn’t really look like there’s enough substance there for a longer format.

It all comes down to whether or not she’s getting other writers. From her own personal output I’m skeptical she could write or show run an entire show even though in theory, the setting lends itself to the format. Writing a movie isn’t easy by any means but it might work better for the characters she has.

Samefag, looking at her older comics it’s interesting to see how much she’s changed. The older style’s more obviously a pastiche of downtown and daria but otherwise I like the charming simplicity of it. Plus the characters look way more natural/readable here than in the dino comic which looks a bit too messy/muddy with stiff characters for me and Kate looks so dumb in that last panel because of Brujo’s need to make her extra thicc, she looks like the “everyone is so mean to me” meme kek.

The "studio" is just a bunch of friends trying to leech off the popularity of other people to gain attention on their projects. It's funny cause it's not working. One of the leads is getting depressed because his project got no attention compared to Brujos project. This studio is going to get maybe one episode of iweyg out and then probably crash and burn when it comes out almost everyone on the team was unpaid.

If you're asking about why the movie is called that, it's because it's an eastern idiom about wanting to destroy (eat) the source of your affliction (e.g. your pancreas) in order to make you happy/healthy. Think like a friend jokingly asking you to disembowel her so she'll stop having cramps.
No idea if there's anything even that deep behind IWEYG or if it's purely to sound edgy.

Doesn’t seem like they’ve got a good monetization plan in place. It would probably be better for them to develop a VN that way they could charge money for it. They could have small animated sections and then recycle sprites and backgrounds for everything else. It would be more cost effective and time effective and there’s a clear monetization strategy. They could update the game with different routes DLC to keep milking it if they want. Having multiple routes means they are more likely to have at least one route that is well written.

She's Mexican. IIRC, some anons in the Western Animation Industry Cows thread were discussing how inauthentic IWEYG feels (as many zoomer attempts at recreating late 90s/early 00s American culture do, but also because BrujoAri is not American), and there was a bait post about how savage third-worlders have no culture of their own so they have to rip off white people media or some other racist shit, but needless to say, that's not true at all. I do agree that it's a bit lame of Brujo to just copy and paste American Y2K high school drama tropes, but only because we have our own subcultures or version of the same subcultures that she could've drawn inspiration from.

Latin Americans have their own history of rock music (fuck's sake, she already shares the Latin American rock songs she listens to on Instagram), we have our own pop stars, our own pop culture, our own underground/alt scene, our own version of the popular girls and NLOGs in high school, etc. And depending on the city, there are different kinds of people as well. She could've based her cartoon on those things instead. Her English isn't the best ("thaking" >>503688 "convo" >>504093 kek), so, in my opinion, it would've been better if her cartoon was set in Mexico and originally written in Spanish, as she obviously has more real life experience with those than whatever she's trying to imitate.

See that sounds interesting and refreshing from all the murican centric shows out there, but the problem is, and this has been discussed numerous times with tons of other artists like her too, is that she likely doesn't have enough IRL experience to base her OCs off of. She's probably a loner who spends most of her time online absorbing murican culture rather than experiencing her own mexican culture so ofc she won't be able to create art based on that. I could be wrong and maybe she does spend lots of time IRL with her own community but I kinda doubt it.

because being popular would make her “normal” and Kate’s whole thing is being “not like other preppy girls”. She’s just copying 2000s tropes that clash narratively vs actually writing a character.

She doesn't do it because:
1. It requires serious research. Mexico tends to imitate what's fashionable in the United States, but there aren't many records of how people dressed and acted at that time. We all know that the only sources of information Brujo uses are Hollywood TV shows and movies. Or she simply don't find them that interesting, despite Mexico having a historic struggle between emo vs punk.

NTA but I think there are. Maybe not as many as American/anglo ones, but there definitely were TV shows and stuff at the time that portrayed real life and weren't just cheap imitations of US culture. Also, internet blogs and videos from the mid-2000s still exist. Using the Wayback Machine you could probably find even more stuff. And surely there were zines and stuff, and people who still remember those times and would love to talk about it.

sage for blogposting but brujo's project makes me feel soooo good about myself. i'm in a similar position as her (latina, has ocs that were originally own renditions of existing characters in an ameriboo setting) and her constant retardation on social media makes me feel so smart, whenever i have doubts about my own autismo creatures i remember how hers are all vibes no original input and how she gets so easily influenced by fans. i can't hate her completely, she's sort of an ironic idol for me, but if i was in her position i wouldn't be as dumb.

No idea how to salvage his personality because his base one is such a load of nothing, but it’d be based if she redesigned him to look more handsome with picrel haircut (technically one of his older selves has it but the stubble ruins it)

Did Ari already give up on trooning Kate out in the end?

Omg Alex’s skin tone is so yellow in this drawing though, I’m shocked that Ari hasn’t been hit with the racist art style accusations with Alex, esp with her style having super thin slanted eyes, everyone knows if you don’t draw Asian (or any tbh) characters with humongous kawiwi moe eyes ur racist!!! Being a ripoff of Jotaro doesn’t help. I’m kinda into this style though bc the rendering and chibis remind me of actual graffiti you’d used to see in the 2000s made by Latinos with these types of cutesy pinup characters, or those collectible homiez keychains also from the 2000s. It’d be really fun to see her emulate more 2000s artstyles other than downtown and Daria, seeing her take on a cutesy Bibi1004 or Roiworld couple drawing would be cute

What kills me is that the 90s and ESPECIALLY the early 2000s had plenty of edgy media to take inspiration from which, for obvious reasons, would translate much better to the setting. I'm sure Brujo knows this, but she and Gumo want to use internet-poisoned media or scroteshit instead, which is edgy in a different way and will come across as jarring. Just off the top of my head, there's the works of Jhohen Vasquez, iconic "emo characters", comic books were in their dark phase, Happy Tree Friends, violent and gory anime/manga was at peak popularity, most of the iconic horror movie franchises were going strong, Jamie Hewlett's work, webcomics from that era in general, the grunge/emo/rock music scenes, there are SO MANY gritty movies made during those decades that you probably can't even list them all, books or graphic novels like Maximum Ride…Brujo obviously does some research about the media at the time, but it seems like she doesn't really go deeper than things which are popular with LARPers like Lucky Star. For the edgy elements, how are modern gendie webcomics or Lucifer Valentine movies supposed to "inspire" a story set in a suburban y2k neighborhood?

Are we looking at the same character? I'd love to see an ugly girl x pretty boy couple but Brujo needs to grow a pair and draw an actually "ugly" looking girl. I said this before in a different thread but I think the problem with some of Brujo's character designs is that, since she's heavily inspired by the 2000s, she might be copying some of the sexist tropes from media of that time without critically thinking about them (besides making Kate a little bigger).

Alex loved her for her unique wits and charisma, not for her body, and that made her more gorgeous and sexy to him than any other woman in the universe. While the girls in her class were gossiping about the newest trends and make-up, Kate had fun surfing and snowboarding, and didn't care how scandalous and outlandish everybody thought that was. She marched to the beat of her own drum, and that's something Alex had never seen in any girl before in his life.

Those are pretty notorious for getting dropped or going on hiatuses, very high effort/low reward whether you're working on your own or hellish employers like webtoon. I don't really see Brujo as the type who can do that long enough to make it to a chapter (because she's a tiktoker who needs instant gratification). I've seen a lot of popular artists try to make webcomics then lose their drive after a few pages or chapters, so If Brujo had the drive to make it beyond 10 pages I'd be impressed.

Before IWEYG, shockwave had nothing released aside from teasers and 1 episode of Animation Station(which is a boring interview to shill another cartoon). But Brujo joins and now the studio's focusing its efforts on making short animations, merch, casting vas, a kickstarter to develop the pilot, AND making the characters represent the company >>505253 kek. As mentioned, their only source of income is the $50/month patreon and iweyg merch (and animation station merch but who the hell is buying that)

>Defenders of Alodia https://shockwaveanimation.com/defenders-of-alodia

It was announced 2022, they said season 1 would release 2023 (1 year for production kek wtf). Then the kickstarter failed and no more videos since 2 years ago. Shockwave's twitter claimed they're still working on a better kickstarter campaign for it.
>staff https://shockwaveanimation.com/about-us
Looking at their linkedins and portfolios, the studio co-founders are Sydney Ames (artist who worked in animation for a whopping 4 months before forming shockwave), Florence Wu (artist who interned in animation for 4 months), and Kayla Jiang (an artist with no work history aside from personal projects). And there's the other co-founder Naya Fae, who's ceo but has no public history of what she's actually done.
TBF they seem like a bunch of newbies in over their heads, but I give it 5 years tops before they go defunct. They'll probably get a successful kickstarter and get the iweyg pilot done, but there's no way they can handle a season and claiming you have a bunch of shows in development without have anything substantial released just looks bad to potential funders

I feel like ShockWave are going to get a bad reputation. Another indie studio, JellyBox, is starting to get a bad reputation behind the scenes due to low pay and large workload. Shockwave isn't even paying anyone and is relying on volunteers. VivziePop got shit for low pay so I feel like something popular like IWTEYG is going to eventually get a callout.

I think the studios plan is to get as many popular creators they can so they can have a large varied fanbase so if one of their shows fails they have something else to lean on.

If they ever actually make any episodes for this critics are probably going to rip Kate's character apart.

>>507259
Love this and the design of the shirt and hair, plus the blemish details. She feels like a regular teenage girl I'd see in high school.

Tried my hand at this too, I tried to retain her personality mostly but with some dorkiness. I took inspiration from certain past outfits, plus the comic that shows she used to have thicker eyebrows but thinned them. In my version she was tempted but decides not to fuck up her eyebrows. Admittedly I leaned into her tomboyish side because I'm starved of goofy loser tomboy characters.
I also looked at how Brujo draws genderbent Kate's expressions, because the way she draws him is less sexualized and feels more naturally goofy.

soooo if kate is supposed to act like NLOG, or at least intentionally dislikable and/or flawed (which i know for sure brujo has stated). Why is brujo making a bitch fit whenever people say they don't like kate??? you successfully manage to make kate dislikable, isn't that what you were going for

This is really good, you took the criticism with grace. Im also intrigued by the concept of having her look younger because being a late bloomer could also correspond to acting tomboyish and "outcasted" by other girls, it would make an interesting arc for Kate to go through puberty and her dynamic shifting with her old moid friend group causing a divide because of her gender. She could eventually learn to trust and create deeper friendships with her female friends and hopefully ditches the moids.
I'm personally on the side that bootleg trent should be a female because it would be more subversive to have 2 GNC lesbians rather than have Kate get 'fixed' by a hot dude (though I see the appeal of a fictional hot guy loving a quirky weird girl and having her stay weird and quirky throughout the relationship, not hating on nonas who prefer the latter trope)

No. 507381

>>507379
I also think Trent's dynamic with her friend group should be actually explored, because there is no way that they're all going to just be completely chill and accepting of their one tif friend's gender identity. There should be, if not tension, at least some sense of "you're not quite one of us". There is that subtext even in normal women who've infiltrated male friend groups, much less one who is literally pretending to be a man.

This is an edgy plot idea but an all male friend group would definitely not take the token female friend trying to appear more masculine kindly and would possibly harass or do hazing rituals to put her in her place, especially since the initial plot line for Alex's friend group was that she was the lead female singer for their band and the group gained popularity because of Alex which then decreased significantly after she trooned out. Whether Kate and Alex both have a predominantly male friend group or only one had such while the other was a total outcast, in a perfect world the plot couldve been two losers who find solace in each other despite their internalized misconceptions with other women and femininity after their shared negative experiences with puberty and the perception of a woman throughout it.
I tried to find the initial writings brujo made of alex's friendgroup on her tiktok but it seems she nuked everything pre animation announcement, all I remember was that Alex was the female lead singer of a band and she came out as a TIF during a night out with everyone drunk(?)

I really love pre-troon Alex, shes incredibly cute and I find her more intriguing than kate as a character. I used to have a vendetta against brujo since her jokak days because she was just another hyper yaoi dimorphism fujo who made kakyoin into an uwu twink but when she turned them into ocs and made an official design for female Alex I was immediately intrigued.
Its pretty sad scrolling through her instagram and seeing how soulless her current art looks compared to her art when she drew mostly as a hobby. Having her ocs be 'greenlit' for a series was probably to worse thing to happen to brujo's art though Im personally vindicated since I still hold spite for her irreversibly ruining the jojo fandom by spawning a number of knockoffs who draw other jojo characters as hyper feminized y2k femboy ocs

KEKK I was thinking about a lesbian version of the series name like "I wanna eat your ovaries" but I completely overlooked that. Genius.

I'm 100% sure Brujo would refuse to make Kate the chubbier one in the relationship. Kate always has to be the petite uwu unique pretty one in the group but also tomboyish, creepy and off putting so she's not like the other girls and more like da boys. Even when brujo draws her "curvier" the fat is located in the ass and thighs so she still looks slim thick and attractive kek, the way you drew her is more accurate to what a chubby girl would look

Dont forget Brujo gets really anal if you ship Kate with anyone that isn't moid adjacent, she was especially pissed if you shipped Mary with Kate since she was supposed to be an evil love rival that stole Alex away from her. Heres the only explicitly lesbian sketches she has in her entire gallery compared to art of the spicy straights. I'm sure it'll be a repeat of events with Karina and she'll be mad that zoomies are shipping her with Kate more than not-trent.
As nona said, Alex is 'draw it a male call it a tif with titchop scars' and the only reason why she got more feminine traits later on is because she caved in to gendie demands and changed it to be more accurate to the time period, otherwise if it weren't for the gendie audience she currated she 100% wouldve made Alex a natal moid by now. Im pretty sure she only made Jotaro a tif on a whim so she could dodge allegations of turning jokak into a straight ship with her hyper feminization of kakyoin by making both of them "tifs" but kakyoin is just a pre-op, pre transition, feminine non conforming blah blah blah while jotaro is on the other side of the spectrum so its still totes gay.

>>504633

i dont understand how she even has a show when it seems like she doesnt even have the MAIN CHARACTERS personalities or DESIGNS nailed down. There was a month difference between the Punkcracker (skinny kate) and the Casting Announcement video (chubby kate). Having a whole animation made then suddenly changing the designs seems deranged, does she have to run the design changes by anybody or do they just let her do whatever? Even kates personality/vibe is completely different from when they announced it. Seems like alot of effort, time, and possibly money spent towards something that is constantly changing and under development. Are they gonna have to redo all the storyboards, like the one BBpanzu finished in AUGUST?

She probably asked to change the design before any animation starts cause I assume they are still storyboarding. If she requests constant design changes, etc. and they always listen that's not entirely a good sign. Constantly changing stuff wastes time and money. You can't always listen to the show creator because it can create issues. I wonder if the Shockwave directors are too afraid to put their foot down or want to look chill so they don't get a bad rep or want to stick to the whole "indie studios let you do whatever you want while the industry destroys your vison".

>How are they animating and storyboarding scenes for an incomplete script?
they'll probably half ass everything to get it out quickly and pretend they're advancing since brujo's consistency at drawing kate's proportion is not that good and she still doesnt seem to know what her characters are personality wise, she uses a lot of words but doesnt really show much, its supposed to show in the pilot but who knows

You hit the nail on the head. The troon shit just feels like overcompensating for straightwashing her yaoi. She pretty much only refers to Kate as a girl now, even if she's still technically genderfluid.

For the most part of what that anon said, yes.

On the other hand, Regina in that pic is a teenage weeb who goes to school, so her problems are totally different. Watamote would be a better comparison.

>>508788
>the mangaka is a creep
The artist or the writer? NHK was originally a novel, the author was also the writer for the manga. But the artist is some other guy.
Also I don't know if the pedo shit happens in the original novel, but it's definitely not in the anime, which is the version most people are familiar with, I think. AFAIR the protag is not a lolicon there, and in the part where he takes pantyshots the girls are in high school instead (which isn't much better but at least shows that they tried to remove as much pedoshit as possible).

Yeah I meant the writer, Tatsuhiko Takimoto. He included the elementary schooler shit and downloading CP photos/videos in both the novel and manga. >>>/snow/2129354
Anyway I never saw the anime nor finished the manga, so I can't really judge beyond the pedophilia. I just can't get invested in a story about what seems to be a self-loathing neet pedophile's self-insert, so I can't take his story of growth seriously knowing the author is a pedo and afterwards released shit called "ISEKAI NANPA ~Hitting on Elves, Nekomimi Girls, and Loli Dragons as an Unemployed Hikikomori~".
Though I am more open to stories about women who were weird otaku neets struggling in a bad place mentally, it really does sound like something suited for Brujoari if she tried.

No. 510821

No matter how much I read into this I just can't wrap my head around the central question of "what the hell is the plot?" Where is the conflict or the drama, what is the hook? Even if Brujo denies it and wants to present it as anything else, it's just a romance with a pre-determined outcome about two idealized characters who have spent entirely too much time in her head but have never actually been made into anything. They're just slacker Y2K webcomic characters without even current events and pop-culture to sarcastically comment on.
Like it's been said numerous times itt already, every side character is better designed and far more interesting than the two main characters. Any one of them could make for compelling and sympathetic stories of growth and pain. She's probably far too invested in her paper dressup dolls to ever make them say or do anything that would make them compelling, they've always just been dreamboard self-inserts which is fine but not enough to carry a show. Her worsening art probably has a lot to do with her own awareness that she's in a complete creative rut.
It would probably make for a far better story if she just set it in the present day and made Alex and Kate dorks with a fixation on the late 90's / early 00's

Here's my prediction for the pilot: the blonde big boobie girl (forgot her name, I'm sure Brujo did too) will go "erm my gerd! Kate you are such a FAT weirdo LOZR!!

And Kate will go "you are such a fucking stupid bimbo BITCH and I watch anime AND play video games like HUMAN PERSON and not blow up sex doll!1!1!1" and Alex will go "holy shit my vagina has atrophied and I have liver failure" as this is happening the show has gone from animated to scribbled on greasy receipts as the "studio" has shut down forever in the middle of production

It feels unlikely that Brujo is going to pursue the best (and most obvious) option of making it a episodic series with fun hijinks between teenagers in high school. Mainly because gendies want things to be much deeper than surface level fun, even if that attempt ruins any chance of making a solid series. There's no romance to develop between the characters because Kate and Alex are a pair who are just as plain together than they are apart. There's nothing interesting to truly grasp between them and I suspect it's because both characters are a projection of Brujo, and there's nothing interesting about her. The side characters that are reliant on tropes start out relatively strong to the audience, and give a lot more opportunity to flesh them out. You can't grow something when the seeds are faulty. We can only assume (based off of what the studio says) that the story is going to be about a vague idea of feeling "out of place" (aka being gender speshul in a world full of normies), relationship drama, with a vague mexican background for spice. Shame!

Hard agree, and personally I wonder if her art worsening is a result from her trying to assimilate and integrate into the shockwave production's artists general style and quality.

What's crazy about this to me is that clearly Ari did know how to draw chubby characters while still conforming to the pre-established stylization of her Y2K pastiche, and yet once she decided to thicken up Kate, it's like she completely forgot how to and now Kate just looks like your average Tumblr cartoon instead of maintaining the 2000s MTV look that made Ari's art so popular in the first place.

This piece also just emphasizes how much more sense the story would make if Kate's sister was the protagonist instead. The sister's the one who's the actual outcast weird girl that Ari keeps insisting Kate is despite portraying her otherwise.

That would be an indicator against her being THAT poor (and she does have some decoration around the desk anyway).

The clothes are a better indicator that her family probably doesn't have enough money/space for enough wardrobes. My assumption is that she comes from a "modest" family but has been able to amass some decent extra money for herself.

Being autistic wasnt cool yet, it was barely even a "spectrum" yet, the word autistic still meant full blown special ed. And retarded was basically only used in cod lobbies along with the n word. She just doesnt capture the zeitgeist in any sense, its a 2000s style slapped on a modern school.

parents don't want their kids looking edgy/"satanic" which she does. my mom would've definitely called that a slutty outfit. just thirdie things. i knew people in highschool and even uni that changed in and out of their clothes because they didn't want their family to know about their actual personality and interests even if they weren't exactly satanic or "revealing". it's not that confusing tbh. kinda reminds me of that scene from skins

To me, the most interesting thing about this page is the fact that Kate's mom completely steals the show and upstages Kate in spite of only appearing in a single panel. I want more of her and less of her boring smug daughter. An interesting angle for Kate would be if the comic showed that she's basically delusional and obsessed with a self image of being unpopular and weird in spite of actually being desired and quite normal among her peers. But that of course would require self awareness.

>It would be faster and easier to make.
Not really, both mediums have their own hurdles. With the animation, Brujo has a team of writers/artists/animators doing a lot of work for her show as well, while she makes reference sheets and communicates with them. With a webcomic Brujo is doing the lining/coloring/writing on her own unless she’s able to hire assistants. She might’ve been more attracted to the idea of a studio making a show for her.
A lot of webcomics update with a 1 page/week model which can turn off some impatient people. And we don’t actually know if Brujo has the capacity to work on one consistently. It definitely won’t have the amount of detail and quality anons love though, it’s pretty common for webcomic artists get burnt out, in some cases injure their wrists, and go on hiatus. More experienced webcomic artists will point out it’s better not to strive for perfection, what matters is it’s serviceable and gets the point across. So if she did go the webcomic route, this thread might’ve still ended up criticizing similar things- Brujo flip-flopping on Kate’s design/personality during the webcomic, and her art getting worse(though much more understandable because she’d be doing all the work)

>And retarded was basically only used in cod lobbies along with the n word
Black Eyed Peas released "Let's Get Retarded" in 2003, it was thrown around pretty liberally at least compared to modern times. Teenagers were absolutely calling things retarded in their day to day lives. It was considered fairly edgy/offensive (hence why the song was changed to 'Let's Get it Started'), but not in the same category as the n word. I think saying 'a retard' would somehow be more comparable to that. Not infighting btw I am just a little autistic :3 kek(no emoticons)

And what I'm interested in is the art she has seems to have deleted from her NSFW account - I only suspect that's the case due to her QRTs and RTs of comments under posts that she's deleted off her account.

Tbh even in the 80s and in Mexico most wealthy and prestigious + conservative people would not only want a peer within the same class but a woman or young woman with great job prospects or even a bit of a career if older ( even if it's just being a nepo secretary for daddy's company) even if they trad it up later. Look at the average politician's and ceo's wife or mayor or whatever the fuck. A shotgun marriage like this could possibly even be unrealistic because many of this "conservatives" absolutely would pay for abortions and probably even find a semi reputable doctor willing to do it ( I think Mexico in particular even had during this time period doctors known for this) and would Give Alex's mom " shut up money". Alex herself being reduced to a meal ticket would also be plausible in the case Alex's birth was not disclosed to her dad or the dad didn't want to completely walk out on her/ claim the baby wasn't his.

Brujo has inherited the shut in zoomer gendie logic that somehow abusive patriarchal fathers will totes be super open and accepting of their tranny children. Starting the timer for when people start headcanoning the dad as some special gender too.

I was thinking the exact same thing, it's like she draws nsfw because it's considered a cool thing on art twitter. She's scared to draw visible genitals, they're either hidden or covered up and she doesn't draw anything "hardcore" outside of erotic pinups

No. 512700

Honestly not sure, I haven't found Brujo Ari explain it anywhere. Only the comments are speculating that it was a sperm donor or Kate had an affair OR that this is a baby she conceived before her and Alex got together (they are canonically very on and off). Personally, I think Brujo had just forgotten Alex was a trans man and genuinely conceptualized that Alex and Kate had conceived Angel together, but once people pointed out that Alex is trans, Brujo is just silent. I haven't seen her reply to any comments asking "how was the baby conceived?" In any relevant post. I could be entirely wrong, though. If any Nonna can find Brujo explain it, please share, I don't feel like searching anymore (and I just think it's hilarious if I'm right.)

God I have no idea why brujo even bothers with her himlet larp, what adult man is doodling cutesy pink babies of their couple ocs that started as slash crackships, and spending cumulative days of their lives writing captions about how snuggly wuggly they are together, this literally feels like a 7 year old girl making her Barbies and ken dolls have tea parties together. I have not for the entirety of this thread seen a single example of Brujo having any sort of gender dysphoria or displaying any sort of masculinity, she didn’t even fall for the fujo larp entirely, she went from shipping Adam and Steve to Adam and Eve. Is it just a byproduct of literally fucking never going outside? I imagine if Brujo ever went to a men’s restroom or male dominated environment like a ssb melee competition and was faced with the truth of male chauvinism, she’d immediately hang up her pronoun pins.

That's because Ari doesn't actually want her characters to be gendies. In her heart of hearts she just wants Kate and Alex to be a normie straight couple, but because they started off as a hetbend of a yaoi ship, she doesn't want to get shit for that so she went the gendie route to justify how Kate and Alex are still ~queer~ despite being the straighest couple on Earth.

Alex could probably be fixed and made interesting as a character if she actually leaned more into the TiF angle but any honest depiction of a TiF will be unflattering and that's not allowed. Alternatively she could just make Alex a closeted homosexual in denial.

Something i noticed in a lot of zoomie artists ( and millennials) trying to write stuff is wanting to do a trope but at the same time having no idea how it works even on just a logical sense, thus you end up with a nothing burger at most and and nonsense at worst. I think this wish fulfillment is worse then her lack of experience with the time period because if she was a trve y2k autist IWYG would be pretty different (because as it's been pointed out in other boards- the late 90s and 2000s are actually very accessible still. Gen x and millennials aren't dusty boomers about to pass and it could be literally just as easy as calling your older cousin and asking wtf they were doing in '01 for even a tiny bit of realism). As many others have pointed out she could have also set it in Mexico where she's more familiar rather then Non descript USA. Series could still be largely in English for the convenience of the audience or a bilingual Mexican dub. A more female based focus by either making it about Kate and Alex being lesbians or about Cool Girl Kate and genuine Outcast Regina is also a better focus- and tbh I'd actually would focus on the long term effects of Kate's terminal pickmeisha/ one of daa Boyz tendencies as an adult woman in the 2010s with many flashback to still include the alex nonsense ( in this idea im thus leaning on what Brujo truly wanted which is a Het couple. Maybe Regina could be into girls and that would be the underlining reason she's considered actually "uncool" then necessarily just being a Naruto running server.idk; i think it would just make for interesting growth).

Id also focus on Kate's well intended advice/ ways of helping her little sister in the 2010s; but due to the fact Kate was merely a vaguely tomboyish NLOG, her advise actually seldomly applies to Regina ( who's nerdier, more outcasted, gay etc.) And her relantioship changing as Regina grows would lead to character growth or smthing. I Also thought that maybe having parts of the story focus on the 2010s would be mean someone like Brujo and other Zoomie rewritters could derive smthing familiar from their youth or more easily encapsulate the culture of the time ( id be canceled but id have Kate deal with Gendie Enby Regina only Kate would call out how stupid that is, bringing to mind her nominal tomboyish-ness). Another idea in order to blend in setting disparities would be having the Kate segments be set in Mexico and spoken or written in Spanish vs The Regina ones being in English and set in the states/ probably LA or Florida for a bit of flavor, with the excuse being that Regina, Kate and their family immigrated to the states when Regina was super young and Kate was old enough to pursue either work or college ( wtf she'd work or major in would be anyone's guess since og Kate has the personality of unseasoned chicken.if one wants to highlight her NLOGism having her be in smthing more stereotypically masc would do).

100% agree. Brujo's life is drawing the same characters over and over and slowly eroding the passion and identity of her art over time. She apologizes profusely if she hasn't posted a fully rendered piece/comic page for just two weeks, and her reference had gone from TV/film to the chronically online gooners that give her attention.

ngl i'm starting to feel bad for her. i don't think self inserts or wish fulfillment stories are inherently bad or pathetic, women shouldn't feel bad for not being "better" or not having a complex world building, but she isn't even building a story with her dolls. as other nonnas said, her secondary characters have more personality than her wish fulfillment characters. most of the drawings or short comics she has made so far don't really add too much to them and it gives me the idea that she didn't go out that much, or had many friends. the whole story is full of stereotypes and as a hispanic zoomer like her, people at schools back then used to be more different and still not totally globalism poisoned. Kate friends are all american stereotypes of girlfriends without SOVL or a single detail that could point to be related to Ari irl experience.

like, people back then used to be more homophobic and sexist, she has missed every opportunity to show this by people calling Kate and Alex a couple of faggots. not because they may know Alex is a TIF, but because women with short hair used to be bullied like that.

No. 515940

I think she doesn't actually want to build or write a full story. She's just into some select aesthetics and scenarios and want to draw these ones without necessarily linking them. But the people following her assumed there must be some crazy lore or something so she feels the need to find a connection and create a lore now.

Does she have any decent quality clothes in her house? Or can she just admit she just wants to draw the pointy boobs for the sake of it? Usually people pick something like a hairstyle, a special eye color/shape or a type of interesting looking nose as a special feature for a character kek, not some mismatched boobs.

No, kek. In latam people were and are as obsessed with weight loss as anywhere else, unless she had huge boobs, which she doesn't have, she would actually get bullied to hell and back for being
>>516056
This big, no moid would pay attention to her, and her family would constantly tell her to try new fad diets every month so she can try and lose some weight, specially back then when you were supposed to look as prepubescent as possible even if you were 16 with a defined waist anf hips already, hell, most of the pictures you would see on Facebook in that time were of girls lowering their already low rise denim pants as much as possible to body check so that you could see their hips bones.
Plus you were either a size S or M at best or you would have to dress like pic related because this was the only shit you could find that would actually fit, or you had to just wear ill-fitting aeropostale t-shirts or whatever you could squeeze into which would be ill-fitting.
I wouldn't even care about this at all if she said that her character is a random skinny girl like in
>>511405
That pic because the awkward little sister is actually dressed for the era, specially as an insecure, actually bullied teenager that was too fat.
But the early 2000's isn't like some ancient era, it was literally 25 years ago, it's so easy to just dig up information about it or to just talk to the people that actually experienced that time for a series about literally nothing that only wants to showcase the aesthetics, hell, there's even tiktoks and YouTube shorts about it, if reading is too much of a challenge for her brainrotted zoomzoom brain.

in my experience most tifs just larped as men online, there were so many proto tifs in the emo subculture that loved to larp as sexy emo boys on myspace kek. I feel sorry for them because they were clearly coping with being lesbians, and a bunch of them sadly did end up trooning out in the 10s. But actually socially and medically trooning out, while underage? that was basically unheard of. This >>511613 should have been a comic about alex changing from female clothes to male ones. It's kinda funny that Brujo wants Kate to be the snowflake victim when there could have been so much melodrama with Alex being a secret TIF that cant transition due to laws/culture of the 00s and has to hide being a woman in high school. It's super weird that gendies are obsessed with the 00s when it was such a problematic era.

No. 518294

They've existed for decades– Lou Sullivan in the 80s was a noteworthy example for being a "gay" TiF who managed to transition, and that was because it was typically only permitted for "straight" TiFs up to that point (since it would have made extremely GNC butch lesbians more conformative). Leslie Feinberg is an author that I, for obvious reasons, have mixed feelings on, but she also has spoken on taking testosterone at some point prior to the 90s in order to blend more acceptably into society without compromising on presenting masculinely and dating women.
So it wouldn't have been unheard of to transition in itself, but a lower to middle class teenager with a less than supportive family would not have had access to HRT and SRS. I doubt even a teenager in ideal circumstances would have had easy access to full transition like Alex seems to have received.

No. 518303

Ah I see what you meant now. Yeah I agree it’s a weird disconnect, to include Alex’s quince trauma as a cornerstone of her trans identity, but then Brujo isn’t willing to write Alex’s family as strict or even abusive. On one hand I get it because I think Brujo wants this to be a cute love story and not a depressing story about transphobia. But the emphasis on it being a 90s period piece makes it impossible to ignore Brujo’s hand waving of how homophobic the culture really was in that era, and within Mexican families as well. I’d say “this story should have been set in modern times” but when I thought about it, when you take away the Y2K window dressing, there isn’t really anything left underneath kek

No. 518308

What's the real problem if Alex passes so well as a man?
Brujo has never shown the difficulties her characters face as a gender special character in the 2000s; everyone seems to ignore it, accept it, or simply not know it. (It would be a miracle if she started showing something after alex 15th birthday.)
It doesn't have to be a sad and depressing scenario, it's just that the writing is so bad that it breaks the immersion, seeing characters from bygone eras speak with such modern language is painful to watch.

I think she has, in a sense, written herself into a corner. The chosen subject matter is actually super ripe for drama if she sticks to a historically accurate depiction of the time period. Thing is I don't think her fanbase is actually interested in that. There were trans teens back then but their experience was not material for fun escapism. Fact is Alex would not have been able to get any gender affirming surgeries or even hormones back then because the medical establishment hadn't approved them yet for minors. The 2000s was just a crappy time to be trans. Brujo really should just make it a story set in the modern day with y2k aesthetics or go for something like making Alex intersex.

Talking about the mean girls characters surprisingly. Boring detail, but one thing I want to say is maybe it was true for Brujo's generation that popular girls didn't like boy bands, but this is the 90s-2000s era supposedly. Why doesn't she do a minimum of research into the 90s-2000s culture instead of handwaving it away.

I'm part of Brujo's generation and in my area (Southeast USA) One Direction was super popular with the normal girls. All the Justin Bieber girls in my age-range moved onto One Direction when they got big. Maybe Brujo wasn't even one of the weird girls and just thought she was.

I know its been said but kate as a character would make so much more sense if she looked like this. It feels like brujo wants kate to have "chubby mousy weird girl" energy but doesnt want to lose the easily engageable visual appeal by actually making kate's appearance give off that vibe. Even when she fattens kate up she's still conventionally attractive and curvy with a small waist and not doughy like this girl is.
>>518818
People find kate attractive because shes a pretty and edgy girl with literally nothing weird or unconventional about her appearance besides a prominent nose which is basically nothing.

I think the redesigns that make her look flat and boyish or like is an overall late bloomer also works. Further up thread someone pointed that by setting standards ( like that matters to Brujo kek) she'd be considered a touch too big and likely would struggle being stylish by late 90s/ early aughts standards…
That still doesn't change she's a conventionally curvy girl which no amount of wack beauty standards can erase the attraction of + she fits the current zeitgeist of hottie rn so whatever shock value would there be is nonexistent. So ofc the message gets read weird. It would make sense for Brujo to just say Kate isn't ugly; she's just too curvy for her setting and has too weird and off putting off a vibe and style to counteract having possibly also particularly shallow classmates. But that would require Brujo knowing how to write smthing outside of safe edgy lmao.

I guess the implication is that Katrina was picking on the fat girl during the game and Kate avenged her by throwing a ball at her face? But the way this is framed unintentionally makes both Kate and her friend look bad kek. Katrina's injury and tears don't look comedic or dramatic, she looks like she's legitimately in pain. Also, her friends are gathered around either trying to help or looking ready to fight on her behalf. Kate's friend is doing the simpering "aw shucks" face but happily allowing her to argue with the teacher and get into trouble by herself. The impression this drawing gives me is that Kate is a rough competitor who is possibly oblivious to her own strength while her friend is a cowardly minion, and that could be interesting!

Ehhh I think brujo is trying to make Kate come across as more “bottom heavy” nowadays so something about this edit feels off but I can’t put my finger on it… To be fair brujo is still pulling the “Kate is still thin! I swear!!!” shtick so maybe I’m just delusional. I hope Kate’s body gets figured out soon because I don’t know if she’s supposed to be chubby or not because it’s just so inconsistent.

Aaand the merch store is broken. Weirdly when looking for the link of the site, they have two stores for IWEYG merch. Very terrible management. I'm sure it was said ITT before, but it's so stupid how they're trying to copy the Glitch and Vivziepop method of relying on merch sales for funding when those two at least had the sense to have a pilot out before shilling for cash. Besides the mega Ari fans, why would anyone fund a pilot they're not sure will be complete? The novelty of having a failed project's shitty t-shirt, I guess.

I swear this is the fifth time Brujo is redesigning Kate's prom outfit, and I think that Brujo's too easily swayed by people's opinions. Every time she redesigns Kate makes me think that there's a writer in the room that has a new fun idea of Kate's character so Brujo has to instinctively change / redesign Kate to fit with a writer's headcanons. It isn't going to help anyone who's trying to animate her when Kate keeps on changing aesthetics.

I think she's supposed to be Indian which itself is far fetched- for a south asian girl in early 2000s southern california to end up at the top of her high school social ladder- but at this point I really don't expect someone's wishdotcom fashion club ocs to delve that deep into race stuff

They 100% wouldn't- but that would allow for the chance to draw parallels with Kate here >>511613 and show that they're both rebels against enforced familial and cultural norms- it's just that Kate takes it a step further by going against whatever societal norms brujo claims she goes against while Kareena does it to be seen as acceptable through their society's lens. Honestly, her experiences growing up as aforementioned "south asian girl in early 2000s southern california" and putting herself through hell just to be accepted by her peers would make for a great villain origin story

Her reaction to “Kate has no real female friends” being to only bring up Priscilla all but confirms to me that Kate’s old friends >>504081 have been phased out or their roles have changed. Really hope this isn’t the case because it’s kinda pathetic that Kate’s only female friend is the bullied fat girl who only serves to be her cheerleader or bullying fodder. But maybe Priscilla will be given a personality outside of this, who knows.

Honestly Kate could make an interesting antagonist kek. She only befriends the most unpopular girl in school because it feeds into her inferiority/superiority complex. She can’t handle having female friends more attractive/charismatic than her, she needs a DUFF to feel like hot shit. And she already has a grudge against the popular girls, so them being mean to Priscilla gives Kate an excuse to unleash all her anger on them while making herself feel good for “protecting” Priscilla.
Throughout the course of the story, Priscilla outgrows Kate and wisens up to her shenanigans. Priscilla eventually gains more confidence and makes new cool friends: Eve, Dahlia, and Nikki. Kate isn’t evil here, she’s still a teenage girl, one who’s very moody and carries a lot of hurt and resentment. But she’s definitely the one who takes the longest to gain self-awareness and grow. At some point her only “friends” will be misogynist boys while the other girls have a better time without her, and she’ll realize this sucks but she’s too cowardly to acknowledge she fucked up and reconcile with Priscilla and the popular girls- at this point she only sticks with the boys because otherwise she’ll be alone. That phase will precede her slow, messy, but eventual growth.

Fear not kweer gendie audience of Brujo Ari, any actual SSA going on between Kate and another female character is null and void. They're just gal pals. Further cementing Priscilla is nothing more but another character to make Kate look so cool and awesome compared to other girls, but this time she's the fat Patsy and not an actual friendship as other nonnas have pointed out.

Samefag. I think it's interesting she posted picrel above after pinning this comment under the relevant drawing. Please don't ship Kate with Mary or Kareena that people like more than Kate, but instead with Priscilla who only serves to make Kate look cooler and more attractive in comparison. But also not really shipping cuz they're both totes straight girls.

Everyone in universe wants to fuck Kate and Alex but we know they're endgame so it loses tension. It'd mix stuff up if Priscilla ended up dating Alex (i dont see him as a tif) but that would mean an actually dumpy girl x okay looking guy couple. Or Alex with anyone else other than Kate would be fun for once, especially since she always draws Kate being salty at anyone else liking him.

She has a bizarre level of obcession with constantly giving her "word of god". If she herself "ships" them, there's really no reason for her to make a whole post making super ultra clear and canon that Priscilla is 100% certified straight and she would never ever ever have a sliver of romantic attraction to Kate instead of just letting people have their interpretations… unless this is the result of her waking up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night after having a premonitory nightmare where her gendie audience somehow found a way to cancel her for queerbaiting, kek.

Ari reminds me of Puppychan during her superflat fat fetish era shilling out thousands of engagement bait coomslop, I wonder if her next stylistic evolution will be renderfagging like puppychan pivoted to, honestly it’d probably be a lot more interesting and efforted than her current exports.
>>522905
We actually barely have any information about Ari herself, no trauma dump BAWWWWs, no information pertaining to where she lives besides ‘Mexico, at some point’, no information about her past online footprint besides jjba, or her real name, I don’t think Ari is related to her actual name, it doesn’t seem like it could be a nickname derived from any common Hispanic last names unless she’s been a bi(talian)poc who’s been racefaking this entire time kek. I’m actually really proud of her for making her art the focus of her work and keeping her private business her business in a very uncowlike manner, but I’m also really curious about her.

Is it confirmed that she has a discord account? Have any discord screenshots been leaked/posted by her or mutuals? Does she have any private accounts besides her porno one? Who are the mutuals she interacts with the most?

I don't wanna come across like I'm against all sexual art because I'm not but I swear a lot of artists who start drawing coom stuff start degrading like crazy. I remember when I was younger I'd hear all the time about how drawing porn is a cheat code to improving because it would force you to work on anatomy, composition etc. but I guess it's not all it’s cracked up to be.
>>523352
Not to blog but I do get this sentiment because I also have OCs where it's fun to play with them like dolls but the scenarios wouldn't actually make sense. I think she just means that while it's a fun hypothetical it doesn't necessarily mean it would match with the rest of the story (I think it would work well but I'm looking at it from Brujo's POV here)
