@ria-moon-light What a horrible nightmare...

"I can't believe humans would hunt the thylacine to extinction, humans are fundamentally evil" Hey, did you know that extinction was long thought to be impossible, and within 50 years of humans realizing that extinction via overhunting was a possibility it practically stopped happening? Did you know that humans are so desperate to prevent more losses that they're funneling millions of collective hours and billions of euros into helping other species? Hours and euros that could be spent on humans, and species on whom humanity's own survival does not depend? Did you know that due to an accidental introduction of rats, the Lord Howe Island stick insect population was brought down to 24 individuals and now there are tens of thousands of them?

This bug. This bug that, to most humans, is utterly useless, relatively gross, and completely foreign. Humans saved it because humans do not want to cause another extinction ever again if they can avoid it.

#about to yammer on here because thylacines are my favorite animal #and i understand what point op was trying to make #and there were issues with thylacine hunting due to bounties and misinformation to outright propaganda about their threat level to livestoc #but there were also attempts for their conservation that had been going on for decades prior to their extinction #but issues like habitat loss/ introduction of competitive species/ disease/ and long term genetic bottlenecking #were other major population decline factors other than outright hunting #and thylacines were exceptionally difficult for successful breeding in captivity-- it only ever happened once #perhaps if those people had the greater understanding and information plus access to tools that we have developed since then #regarding conservation practices #maybe the thylacine would have never gone extinct in the first place #that is to say there have always been people trying to help and it's only getting easier which is very much a good thing #/infodump over kfgjhlk

Another drawing of Moon uwu, I'll be posting all the old drawings I have saved before posting the most recent ones uwu I love drawing Moon and Sun.

do not get me wrong here. Senshi is a beautiful man. A sexy man, even. But a “tumblr sexyman” he is not. first and foremost the hallmark of a tumblr sexyman is going to be “you want to fuck That?”. You do not Make something a tumblr sexyman on purpose. “Lets make senshi a tumblr sexyman so theyre not all white and skinny” defeats the point. And do not get me wrong! There is something to be said about how the majority of non-human characters in fandom(bill cipher, wheatley, purple guy, etc) get interpreted as skinny white men…white majority fandom spaces, yknow? Anyways my point is. Tumblr sexyman is an observational category. Do you see people making hyper specific aus of senshi to the point that he might as well be someone’s oc? No…but you know who they are doing this to…? Tenna. He needs to win that tumblr sexyman poll. Ryland grace has nothing on him. I’m begging

I have more thoughts on the matter. The status of “tumblr sexyman” is almost never a measure of the quality of the character itself. It’s always been the fandom response. I’m going to compare Senshi to Sans Undertale because unlike all the guys on any tumblr sexyman list, sans isn’t a skinny white guy and thankfully isn’t portrayed as one, shockingly. Someone in the tags mentioned that liking tumblr sexymen has a certain level of theater kid esque indulgence/shame to it. Sans is a cartoon skeleton and every who likes him knows it. I don’t think anybody is doing “hear me outs” on senshi because he’s already hot. You know you’ve hit gold on a tumblr sexyman if the character itself is producing its own fandom largely divorced from the source material. People making extensive AUs where different sans interact with each other, “sans fangirls” being a thing, sans himself being a meme outside of being an undertale fan, making up lore about the skeletons in general and making skeleton ocs…the list goes on. With all due respect I earnestly do not think this is happening with Senshi! And again, none of this has to do with the quality of their characters, they are both excellent characters. I think part of this is due to the fact that Dungeon Meshi already has such an established world that taking a character and running with it would feel out of place. I’ve seen Kabru get more of a tumblr sexyman treatment than Senshi does.

Putting Tenna side by side to sans, and people are doing the exact same thing. “Spamtenna” feels like its own fandom. People are drawing Tenna shipped with himself. People are drawing yuri of him for crying out loud (something to be said about fandom caring more about yuri versions of men over canon female characters but that is a discussion for another time). People like The Character so much they are doing literally anything with him! Even with Tenna thankfully the times are changing, his most popular human interpretations aren’t even white.

Maybe it isn’t fair to allude to Sans when talking about Tenna because they’re both made by the same guy, and similar fandoms are going to have a similar response to these kinds of quirky characters, but I digress. The fact that Tenna fans on twitter are drawing him pathetically begging for him to be voted for, in increasingly skimpy outfits, speaks volumes

#i couldn't care less about that poll tbh #but the true rule of thumb of a tumblr sexyman is how close they're being treated to how the Oncler of Yore was treated
