Been hearing a lot about "dark fantasy" these days, so I think it's high time I share my whimsy spectrums.
(Many apologies to my Discord friends who have already saw this)
I have a VERY specific personal definition of whimsy, and if I ever read, watch, or play something I deem "whimsical", it goes through these three spectrums in my brain.
Notes:
Something must be considered "whimsical" before it ever reaches the spectrums. As such, if others wish to use the chart, it is completely objective.
The questions under each spectrum are not the de facto questions to ask, but more like a guide to however my brain processes these categories. They're spectrums, after all.
