I think I accidentally created a thirst trap
what do you mean "accidentally"
^^^ Also, you realize this NOW?
I thought that was the intention??? is this another "altway wasn't meant to sound like alternative way" thing
I WAS LIKE 13 WHEN I MADE HIM AND HE WAS A DBZ OC HOTNESS WAS NOT A FACTOR
Seconding "accidentally", that sounds about right here.
DID HE HAVE THE SLEEVELESS SHIRT THEN OR WAS THAT ADDED LATER
I MADE HIM TO PUNCH MOONS NOT ACCIDENTALLY MAKE EVERYONE THIRSTY
It started as a short sleeve undershirt
Your teen self was prophetic
LISTEN HE WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE HOT JUST AN EXTENSION OF TRAUMA
A hot extension of trauma is just a Tumblr Sexyman.
I literally saw this and went “This is just a little bit slutty isn’t it” and started cracking up
darin got that slutty dorito shape like whoa
is he cool ranch or nacho
YOU EVEN MADE HIM A BLACKSMITH, BASICALLY THE THIRST TRAP OF MEDIEVAL PROFESSIONS, THEY WOULD HAVE MADE FIREMAN CALENDARS OF BLACKSMITHS IF THOSE EXISTED BACK THEN
OKAY COOL RANCH BUT HIS HEART IS SPICY NACHO
ranchy nacho i can see it
BECAUSE BLACKSMITHS ARE COOL
Listen to your wife she’s right
NOT A FACTOR IN HIS CREATION
I DID NOT FORESEE THE THIRST
okay so like, just yesterday a thread on tv tropes taught me something
Okay but are blacksmiths really the sexy firemen of medieval professions
Is this the universal consensus
apparently there's a rising trend in "matriarchy" isekais, but not the political commentary kind, more like men are now objectified and women are the ones horny on main for them
i say this as a historian
I posit that in those isekais, darin is the exact kind of man they'd have in their pinup magazines
Did I create an Isekai thirst trap 20+ years before the trend began
you created a himbo with a belligerent tsundere streak
(Allison Shaw is amazing, please read Tigress Queen and Far to the North, y'all.)
.... Pfft and I checked the timestamp, apparent the Whore Sleeves post is exactly three years and a day old!
clothing can touch anywhere but the shoulders
sleeves are forbidden, but slutty arm warmers are okay
I can't believe the anime body type of that model
beeg old biceps and shoulders with teeny tiny snatched waist
gundamkiwi thank you. You know that 13 year old ant was too brain dead to think of the female gaze
knighted it’s so weird how just the bicep and shoulder exposed is like...peak character design
I was looking for turtlenecks to show off what fit Darin is rocking as the winter chill sets in and I found that
For reference:

yes he’s wearing sleeves but the guns must always be on display in some form
13 year old Ant had plenty of other things on his mind, he probably didn't even know about the female gaze
Like creator like OC. (Oblivous to love until it clocks him over the head with a 2x4.)
