"Moe through helplessness"

Anonus · 2014-12-06 05:52:16

Like so:

Calica · 2014-12-06 05:56:24

moway eel

Imipolex G · 2014-12-06 05:57:58

what does this mean, exactly

Anonus · 2014-12-06 05:59:44

I wanted to see if anyone could make their own versions of these?

Boke means "straight man" (or idiot), "tsukkomi" means wise guy, moe through helplessness means what you think it does, and seemingly "perfect" at first glance also means what you think it does

Calica · 2014-12-06 06:01:10

i think you got boke and tsukkomi backwards, and are also confusing boke with baka

Anonus · 2014-12-06 06:04:55

whoops

That KotH one is still perfect

Spoiler:

This is just meant as a silly stupid thing, I mean no offense by any of these choices and your mileage may vary if they fit or not.

Salix Babylonika · 2015-06-04 01:29:46

Oi!

Sredni Vashtar · 2015-06-04 01:43:09

Where would I be in a similar chart?

Imipolex G · 2015-06-04 02:05:05

OOOOOOOOH ME TOO ME TOO

glennmagusharvey · 2015-06-04 03:00:49

Hahahaha!

And I could try making one myself except I'm not even actually sure what those labels mean...

Alduin · 2015-06-04 03:37:05

I thought MachSpeed was the Tsukkomi to GMH's Boke

One-Winged Eagle · 2015-06-04 03:42:13

I'm the straight man to everyone.

Corvina · 2015-06-04 03:47:47

And me, and me

Vriska · 2015-06-04 14:55:27

I don't know where I'd 8e either except I dou8t I'd 8e moe through helplessness. ::::P

Haven · 2015-06-04 16:45:25

Moe through spiders.

It's a lesser known genre.

Vriska · 2015-06-04 17:32:57

I can work with that. ::::D

Tachyon · 2015-06-04 17:34:06

i laughed

this is 300% not ok though

Ah, sorry about this. If you would like I can take you out of the chart. I mostly picked you because I remember you using a Tsukasa avatar a while back and I could not really think of many good candidates for that spot.

Why would you want to be in a silly moe archetype chart? It does not make a whole lot of sense to me...

I approve. Now if only we can find more people for the "moe through helplessness" category.

Klinotaxis · 2015-06-05 04:03:05

i'm pretty moe and pretty helpless, if i do say so myself

I'm seemingly perfect

Calica · 2015-06-05 04:21:43

i'm still kinda surprised by my presence in @LW's chart

It's fine. You're fine.

i was more concerned that apparently i'm so oversensitive that i particularly stood out as "helpless".

But if that's not it i won't worry about it.

Tachyon · 2015-06-05 11:41:08

. . . irony

Ah, okay, I am glad I did not bother you too much with it. I admittedly did not put a whole lot of time and effort into making that thing. I probably should have thought more about how people would react to it.

By the way, I would not really consider you oversensitive. I feel like "conscientious" or "careful" probably fit better than that word does.

Tachyon · 2015-06-07 11:57:34

It's ok, it really is. Forum jokes do not need to be subject to so much scrutiny and analysis.

And also, thank you, i appreciate that.

Simple: It's fun to see where people put you in these arrangements.

In most of my friend groups, I am either the boke or "seemingly perfect," it seems.

One-Winged Eagle · 2016-01-03 04:14:35

I don't understand this meme.

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-01-03 04:28:46

These are recurring archetypes in Japanese TV that happen to be a big part of the core lineups of most of the "cute girls do cute things" school of comedy that sprang up in the wake of the successes of Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star. For example: Tomo, Yomi, Osaka/Chiyo, Sakaki.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-01-03 04:29:46

howdy y'all

I'm Osaka

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-01-03 04:30:48

Although Osaka kind of defies the system because she is too flaky and far from a wallflower despite being hopeless. She is also my favourite character in that entire show... followed by Kagura, and Mister Tadakichi, and Catdad.

Imipolex G · 2016-01-03 04:32:47

I am also Osaka!

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-01-03 04:36:01

In my high school life, I think I could best relate to Osaka and Kagura, in that I talked too much and was hella weird and always had hopeless crushes on cute/cool quiet people who I had no chance with.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-01-03 04:42:39

Osaka was probably the first anime character I related to heavily.

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-01-03 04:49:56

I related to Osaka for being the lovable freak in my friend circle, and Satou from Welcome to the NHK! for being a lame-ass obsessive NEET with terrible social skills and an asinine streak.

Klinotaxis · 2016-01-03 04:52:06

hm. now that i think about it. the first character i can remember relating to is a gay chick, and i was like fourteen. i wonder if that's why i'm so bad with identities.

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-01-03 05:00:02

Most of the characters who I vibe the most with are women or girls despite the fact that I am pretty solidly cismale. So... I guess I can relate? *shrug*

Actually, on that note, while those were two characters who I got into as part of getting into anime directly, as its own thing, I think the first anime protagonist who I could relate to was actually Satsuki from My Neighbour Totoro, being the big sibling of a smart and incorrigible yet devoted sister and having few friends but a lot of imagination.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-01-03 05:01:08

my early anime experiences were pretty typical

my stepdad liked Dragonball Z a lot so we watched it together often.

if i remember the characters you talk about correctly, wasn't she a gay chick with a male avatar?

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-01-03 05:08:59

Huh.

My mom is a bit of a Ghibli fangirl. We have an original Japanese theatrical poster from when Totoro first came out and we used to have some duplicate cel prints from the film. It was kind of formative for me, as was seeing Princess Mononoke and going, "Whoa, cartoons can be really gory, and dramatic, and go way over my head!"

Klinotaxis · 2016-01-03 05:09:39

now you see how deep this rabbit hole goes

"Moe through helplessness"
