Hmmm, nah, i like that one you have over your head, and for free, so no sweets-sweets! :D *grabs the Koreimu and start tearing it apart, then throws the remains in the Reimu's face* Thanks! Bye Bye! *tears off her Ribbon and leaves*
- Good setting showing where this gutter trash lives. - Good visual depiction of yukkuris with thoroughly annoying and smug faces. - Good speech showing the mother's disgusting nature and contempt for her own children.
- Bad depiction of little marisa on the left. Marisa types have braids on their left side but that marisa has a braid of its right. - Bad file size. 2400px × 3092px is overkill for this image. It would be more acceptable if you had lots of detail to show off, but zoomed in that background is a garbled mess. 650px × 837px would be a good size.
@JusticeItEasy you just gave out my whole sketch hehe, but seriously it wouldn't hurt using spoiler alert *wink*... @SUN thank you for your observations, they are very appreciated the good and bad points will be useful for the correct depiction of yukkuris, also I'll take in careful consideration the file size next time pardon me. @Hyral thank you, but I didn't do the background, It's just a photo selected for this scene and vectorized.
Good a place as any to ask this: what makes trucking yukkuris different from the regular ones? Is it the shape, their pretty good behavior, the fact they're seen usually on the move/not in the city or something else?
Just curious because these don't look like trucking ones since they're more gutter trash, with emphasis on the trash.
@Three depends on what you define as "regular yukkuris", IMO based on the slang definition of trucking "to travel in a steady but easy manner", the difference is on the "easy" part, an easy trucking is performed by a well adapted, adept yukkuri while gutter trash seem to have the tendency in getting involved in predicaments voluntarily! or lacking vital survival skills, so I agree with you, these are gutter trash indeed, just happens that the dude who made this forgot to add the dirty features on those things.
Regular yukkuris being a catchall term for the pets, street and sedentary wild ones. Trucking yukkuris being the ones that mind their own business and move around from place to place being easy (I'm assuming that's where the trucking part comes from). My personal interpretation that "trucking" and "gutter trash" don't coincide.
Oh, also, if you keep the filesize under 500k, you'll have a better chance of showing up on 2ch, since they have a 500k post limit and I don't know how many people are going to bother resizing...
well, my work is intended for anyone here, it doesn't really matter if it's displayed somewhere else, but I am aware that big images can be annoying sometimes, so I'll have that in consideration. @Three based on your definitions, I think It can be arranged like this, regular yukkuris as a set, trucking and gutter trash yukkuris as Alternate subsets with a region in common.
Frankly, I think the "trucking_yukkuris" tag is very awkward. First, in the original images there's no indication that these are even the same yukkuris or that they are "trucking" around. In some images there's a mother reimu with just reimu kos. In others there's reimu and marisa kos. And yet in others there's also a marisa father. It seems the artist is just drawing different yukkuris in different environments is all.
Second, why "trucking"? Why not use a more appropriate and sensible term like "nomads" or "nomad_yukkuris"? Trucking means to carry goods from one place to another.
Third, even if you were to use "trucking" or "nomad" it would still only be appropriate if that was being depicted in the picture. This is a gutter trash mother reimu rudely bartering off her children. There's no indication of moving from one part of the city to the next.
Fourth, trucking_yukkuris is more of a tag that denotes a specific visual depiction of yukkuris. Everybody likes one specific drawing style of yukkuris more than others, so if they choose to draw some they would probably use that style, because in their head that's how yukkuris should look. Just because you chose this style does not mean you have to use the original tag. Gutter trash is used to denote yukkuris that live in poor conditions in a city and that's fully appropriate here.
I'd take the koMarisas, force mother Reimu to reveal the location of their hats, and then crush her and her koReimu. Afterward, try to help the koMarisas. They could be nice after this traumatic experience. If not, they they will be smashed as well.
Ah, now I figured out what's really strange about this image. In previous stories, when the yukkuris lost their accessories they weren't just hated but their families in fact did not recognize them. For example: post #83
I think it would really increase the annoyance and stupidity of these ones here by changing the speech to something like:
"Yu! Hey mister over there, reimu is giving away these trash yukkuris who can't take it easy! Reimu had two other cute little ones but then little ones disappeared and two trash yukkuris who can't take it easy appeared in their place! Stupid trash probably did something bad to reimu's cute little ones, so good mother reimu is punishing them easy! Mister can have them, but only if mister gives reimu a big bag of sweet-sweets!"
Hmm, that's true SUN, though, maybe this is a slightly smarter Deibu that, not only can realize if her own fellow family members is without accesories, but also picked on the Marisas for "not looking easy like the little one that looks like the cute deibu!"
I wouldn't be surprised if she actually did that, since lately, deibus won't even spare the little marisas out of racial egolatry, unlike in the past that as long as it was her "little one"as well, though maybe that only applies when there are little reimus around making her take deibu preference?
The koyukkuris in that seemed to be innocent as the koMarisas in this. Why those three did that to their children puzzles me. A Deimu is understandable, though.
JIE and Mezzo, that is a possibility but one that I would like to avoid. You see, being evil and premeditating their actions makes them like every other villain. I think yukkuris have a niche where their extreme stupidity and arrogance combines to make them appear evil.
In other words, it's not them deliberately acting evil that's appealing, to me at least; it's that their view of the world, their own yukkuri way of doing things, is so self-centered and bizarre and different from ours that it creates a unique kind of anger and contempt for them.
Every parent can hate their child and plan to harm them for various reasons, but only yukkuris can completely fail to recognize their child if they lose their accessory. So... they are not acting by human standards, but by yukkuri standards. The yukkuri does not realize that demanding stuff from others is rude- they think the world belongs to them. The yukkuri doesn't realize that humans grow vegetables- they think vegetables grow out of the ground by themselves. So when you see them, you don't get angry at them as you would at a human, like what is happening here; you are puzzled at first, and then you realize what they did, and then you realize why they did it and you can't help but laugh, get angry, have pity for them, and a wide range of other emotions. So it's not "I'm an evil yukkuri and I just did something evil." It's more like "I just take it easy and my view of the world is so different from the humans that I don't even understand why they could be angry at me."
Here the big fat deibu doesn't even acknowledge the fact that marisa might need food. It's not simple human greed- it's a complete inability to consider or even recognize the needs of others. A greedy fat human might hoard the food but he would understand what he was doing, that it is selfish and others would suffer. To a yukkuri, the word selfish doesn't even exist.
Here a mother feels compelled to respond to a mister saying "Take it easy!" and immediately forgets her child. As soon as her hat is in danger, the child loses all important. It's these kinds of misplaced yukkuri priorities that make yukkuris appealing in my opinion.
So I think artists should continue to mine this goldmine of infinite stupidity, arrogance, ignorance, and so on and see where it goes instead of simply making yukkuris more human-like and smarter. That was wordy and convoluted but I hope I got the message across.
The thing is SUN, that we had a great deal of examples of some evil being born in the yukkuris, even between yukkuris, doing stuff that even in yukkuri standars are easy to understand as "uneasy things", like stealing from fellow yukkuris, raping them, murdering them, etc.
And again, lately there had been many cases of Reimu mothers looking down on her "non reimu" kids even if they aren't KoAlices born from a rape, going as far as killing them, mistreating them or plainly, disowning them.
So it long ago stopped being only ignorance, arrogance and stupidity combined, some yukkuris are like that, but now a days, a form of evil intention was born into them, which is usually what we call the true shitheads.
They may not only bother humans, but also fellow yukkuris, they may steal their easy places, their mister munch munch, kill their little ones, etc. things that if done to themselves they would consider a horrible crime, so they are aware of the wrong of their attitude, about the evilness to humans i can be questionable, since, sometimes one may apply the ignorance logic, but sometimes, they are proactively trying to take over the human's "easy places" or the human's "mister vegetables".
Ignorance, Arrogance and Stupidity, had long ago stopped being the only reason why yukkuris do their rage worthy things, now a days you can find truly wicked yukkuris, and what makes it the most rage worthy of them, is that they arent' only just evil, but also arrogant, ignorant and stupid like the "average" yukkuris, only with a extra touch of sadismn, supremacismn and delusion.
