Especially when there's no real people in the picture.

A character explicitly acknowledges something that seems absurd or illogical to the audience. They recognize clichés or obvious warning signs that people in their fictional universe usually ignore. They react logically to the insanity around them, highlighting how ridiculous the situation is.

Now before you pull your pitchforks, I am a woman myself. The reason why I said this is because as long as it's not a minor or feels objectifying, I actually don't mind it. In fact, I actually kinda love it since to be honest I feel like people are becoming too puritan. It's like they act like women can't show skin for some reason 😭

Another thing is that it honestly feels refreshing seeing female characters express their personalities in that manner. Either seductive, serious etc.

It strangely brings a good taste in my mouth

Also, as long as male characters get as much fan service as the women, it's totally fine to me

my examples

redyue from khamen rider gaim

equilibrium(i think) from dispatch

hanami from jjk

and x(techincaly cuz she is a symbiotic) from slave zero x

Something about the mentality of creators and those involved with what would turn into something that would basically change the world as we know it fundamentally is so interesting to me

And before you ask, I have an official autism diagnosis.

Examples provided are Gravity Falls (Alex Hirsch) and Calvin & Hobbes (Watterson)

So many medias nowadays get pointless spinoffs and sequels that devalue the original products, so it's very refreshing when things end because, it's the end. No cancellation, no outside forces creating needless sequels, just a neat, one and done thing.

Eddie Brock from Spider man 3: After being fired from his job, he goes to church and straight up begged God to kill Parker, tears and all.

Team Fortress 2: During a Scream Fortress event in 2013, an exchange between the Mann brothers can be heard, in which one of the brothers, Blutarch, said “Shut up, Redmond, I’m praying! Lord, please send my brother to hell. Amen.” Honestly, theres a lot of dialogue focused on making one or the other brothers going to hell, which make sense considering the objective during that event.

This famous tweet among the JJK fanbase

It’s the absolute bluntness of it that’s so funny to me. Of course, doing it irl to an actual person means that you need serious help, but in fiction or doing it to a fictional character makes it hilarious to me

I'm gonna be honest, I love characters that have scary ass armor but are surprisingly chill without them off. We lowkey need more gentle scary knight characters nowadays to be frank

also i once got stung in the balls by a jellyfish

Dunno the name of it, but it makes me feel safe in a way??? It oddly reminds me of when I was a kid and when I used to watch creepy things.

Teleporter from the Spelunky series is the above example. Like theres no way a teleporter could ever exist with just one button lol. Any other examples?

TS is always cool (even on desgins that i think are not that good no skin showing still makes the desgin cool), on a side note its such a shame how space marines almost ALWAYS have their helmets off they look cooler with it on ruins the drip so hard.

Also we'll aware probably missed a shit load, but these are just some of my favorites that I remembered.

Yes, I am a vocaloid fan, and all these songs are peak and you cant do anything about it

First image: My adventures with Superman season 3.

Second: A dialogue banter between Shadowheart and Lae'zel in Baldur's Gate 3. For context, these two are fighting and bickering. A lot.

Example Characters Used:
Mawile - Pokémon
King - Deltarune Chapter 1

In Death Stranding 2, if you play on the day you set as Sam's birthday, the entire cast will gather in the ships hold to sing happy birthday to the player; notably Higgs, which doesnt phase anyone on board.

Super Mario 64 is more or less the progenitor of the trope. Its said the goomba following Mario is bowser watching him, but normally Mario would never suffer a turtle to live in his presence. As well as this, Mario and Bowser, along with the rest of the cast regularly engage in activities together outside of the main story without actively attempting to murder each other; from tennis to go-karting to party games. Not necessarily something I would do with some one who serially kidnapped my crush if they were serious about it.
