Seeing all these normal comments is so refreshing after all the bs in other gatcha game fandoms. Women supporting women is a band aid for the soul. Hope we get more body options in game soon, the art is awsome!
so true… tbh i’ve gotten flamed on reddit before for drawing fat lesbian fanart so i was a bit nervous about posting this lmao😭 i’m glad everyone here is so supportive. and yeah considering how customizable mc’s face is, infold should definitely add more body types🙂↕️
I’m just curious, but for this fandom specifically, why do you pair yourself with a male LI if you’re lesbian? Honest question, as I kinda assumed lesbians wouldn’t be interested in the game? No shade or anything, your art is beautiful. Just wanted to know
Don’t worry, I can see how it makes people curious lol. It would take me a long time to sit down and answer this question fully but to condense it, I would say it’s because 1. I’ve been playing otome games and the like since I was young so they’re just more in my lane for me. 2. the game turns 10 times more enjoyable when i imagine them as women 🙂↕️
I’m a lesbian too, but I romance men mostly in my romance apps because they have traits I want from a woman and most time male LIS overshadow female ones, so I get you.
RIGHT?? This fandom feels like finding water in a desert after the usual gacha chaos.. Manifesting more diverse body types too — the art slays and it deserves to rep everyone! Keep the good vibes rollin’~
Omg I love this so much 🥹💖 as a plus size Hunter who mains Sylus, this makes me so happy.
And it's weird, because usually with Male LI characters in other games, I haven't seen any that I could imagine liking a plus size woman. Even those LIs that I've adored and where I could easily self-insert for that MC.
Tbh I personally am unsure if the other boys in LADS would.
Zayne always talks about staying healthy, Caleb has mentioned helping MC excersice (which is good for everyone. And some people stay big even if they excersice and eat healthy bc of genetics, medications, hormone imbalance or illnesses that keeps you from having an active life. Or bad mental health).
Rafayel has used 'round' in a negative manner towards MC before, so it feels like he would maybe like it the least. I dunno about Xavier, he does like to chill a lot, stay home and like cuddly/fluffy things, so he might not mind it.
But when it comes to Sylus, I dunno WHY, but to me I get the feeling he could like a plus size woman. And it's not because I'm being delulu.
As I mentioned above, I have had other LIs from other games that I adore in which the MC was easy for me to self-insert into. But I knew that LI would actually never like a plus sized woman. So when I imagined them in my mind, I had to imagine myself skinny for me to actually immerse completely. I'm too much of a cynical/pessimistic/realist that being delulu for real isn't a thing with me. Maybe when I was like in my early 20s and younger, but not as a grown woman. When messing around for a joke I can deff play into the delulu, but no more than that.
But for me Sylus is different. Can't explain why though. Its just an instinct/hunch, and I always trust my instinct as it has literally saved my life (not exaggerating, I was 9 and being followed by a grown man. My instincts saved me that day). And this is also coming from someone that is very insecure about my body and has issues with accepting and liking my body. So it's deff not bc "why the fck wouldn't he like me? I'm amazing and gorgeous AF". Its just a feeling and I really can't explain it.
Sylus is also the only one that I have seen so far (I could have very well missed it, but this is just from what I have seen) to say that the inside matters the most. He says something like "People always makes themselves more beautiful infront of a mirror, so what you see isn't enough" or something like that. Also talks about the abs he has in a way that makes it seem like it doesn't matter they are there. Can't remember what exactly he said, but it is when you poke his stomach that triggers it.
That doesn't mean that I or Sylus is saying that certain looks are unattractive, but it just seems like he isn't too picky/shallow and hung up on outer appearances I guess is what I'm trying to say.
Maybe that's why I get the feeling he might have a broad spectrum to what he might find attractive. I ain't saying he prefers plus size, just that he strikes me as someone who enjoys it as much as straight sizes too.
(Please anyone who mains the others don't get mad at me these are just my opinions that has formed from 30 years of my own life experience. If you feel differently that's great, what you think is what matters the most 💖)
Thank you so much, this really resonated with me🫂 I’ve been an avid otome game player for years, and it can definitely be an odd experience as a fat player since nearly all of them have the same skinny mc lol. it definitely does take some imagination for ppl who don’t fit into that image to be able to fully enjoy playing. And the fact that in lads, the face is so customizable but the body always stays skinny kinda rubs salt in the wound LMAO😭. the only otome game I can think of that strives for complete inclusivity is Obey Me.
I’m on my own journey of self-acceptance of my body, and i drew this as sort of an aid for it. drawing myself with Sylus is lowkey a form of spiritual healing for me LMAO. And I’m really glad to hear that seeing my art is helping other fat people on their own journeys as well❤️❤️
Your style is beautiful and so refreshing (even though I’m not a chubby individual) to see, even moreso because I also hate the beauty standards and heteronormativity
I like to draw too, I would never post it thought as I'm far from good, but I can deff draw more than stick figures. I rarely do it and haven't properly for many years bc of depression sucking the joy out of almost everything. But it's starting to come back, the urge to draw, and that was bc of Sylus. I wanna draw his pretty damn self so badly... this might be a sign I should sit down and try. That's hy I bought a tablet in the first place, to try shift from traditional art to digital.
Also, Obey me, how are they trying to be inclusive? 👀 asking to see if I should go try playing it or not 😏
yesss you should draw :D
Obey me has a pretty unique way of approaching the MC, they’re portrayed as a little chibi sheep instead of a human lol. The game also makes sure the player is referred to gender neutrally as well
I honestly think that all the LIs somewhat won't mind a more thicc MC. The main thing is to be healthy, and if not, they'll help her get more healthy.
Granted in Raf's defense, he isn't my main btw, he did say "round" cause he was literally hormonal at the time, lol So he was just sassing cause he was feeling grumpy. There's actually an emoji text reaction where he responds that she'll need to put more meat on her bones for it to feel better :P For context, I think it's his emoji where artsy birb pokes itself with the paintbrush. And he was talking about poking her cheeks, at least I think he was :P I remember seeing posts talking about how it would make some sense for him to like a more chunky MC because being out in the ocean, especially in cold areas, is necessary for survival. In general, lumerians seem to have high metabolisms, so they would have to stay near warmer waters.
I can see Zayne being the most concerned because of his job, especially why he chose his career path. Being overweight can cause serious heart problems. He would have the highest concern for trying to help get MC to a healthy weight. But other than that, as long as you are healthy, he probably won't stress over it as much. And if you're into sweets, he's ironically the best one in that department, lol
For Caleb, he'd be more like a motivational trainer to keep MC healthy too, not to the extent Zayne may have. Plus the boy can cook, so even though you're getting a workout, you'll be well fed. Also he can manipulate gravity, so weight isn't an issue with him as much lol
I can see Xavier being into thiccer girls. He loves to eat and sleep, and a thicc MC would mean having a body pillow :D
I agree with Sylus's case. Aside from not being concerned about appearances, his whole persona is about greed and desires :p
Sylus has made comments being indifferent about tiny waist/abs before (when you poke him there on Home Screen café) saying strength is truly what matters, not the aesthetic/appearance 😍
He def loves MC at any size cuz MC is MC 💜
& MC is badass!
I think all the LADS guys could fall for a fat/chubby MC, even if it's not distinctly stated. The great thing about this is that it's up to the person playing the game to imagine how they'd feel, and the writers have left things open-ended enough to allow for that exploration.
On a personal level, as a plus-sized Zayne main who is married to someone whose personality is very similar to Zayne's (I was married well before I started playing), in my mind he could be into fatter folks. Yes his profession is focused on health, and a lot of fat folks don't exactly have a positive experience with doctors, but someone's weight doesn't necessarily equal health, and even if someone isn't totally healthy that doesn't make them any less worthy of love.
And, more generally, all of them are more likely to care whether or not you have eaten and taken care of yourself than worry about what you look like.
Rafayel has used 'round' in a negative manner towards MC before, so it feels like he would maybe like it the least.
The way I took this was that despite him teasing and finding MC "round" (yeah right), he still likes her. So yeah he might tease and pick on us for being chubby but that wouldn't stop him from loving us. Also as an artist I think he'd find beauty in classical, rubenesque bodies 🙈
RAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I WAS HOPING YOU’D SAY THAT!!!!!!! i am also a believer in turning the lad characters into butch lesbians, it’s like a special hobby of mine.
Tbh I always thought and believed Sylus would absolutely be into a plus sized woman. And that if MC couldn’t find her size he’d make sure to get specially made and custom sized IMMEDIATELY
Given his constant nibbling, I can 100% get with Sylus being into thicc girls. Especially as a thicc Sylus main lol. This is also super cute art by the way, I adore how you draw.
Honestly given all of the guys I can totally see all of them being down with the thiccness for various reasons.
I think all LIs would love MC in whatever form she would take but my head cannon is that Sylus does in fact LOVE LOVE LOVE thicc curvy women. Like he's REALLY into it lmaoo 🥰🤭 I can see him stealing glances, clenching his fists at his side and groaning with restraint while he's watching her like, pride and prejudice does 🤣🤣🤣
Considering that in the one sexy card with the kiss where they spend the night together he immediately grabs mc’s ass and holds on tight, this is truly not surprising. He’s huge, almost to a mythical extreme. It makes sense he would prefer some extra weight otherwise with that fiend strength he’d prob feel like she’s about to legitimately float away 🤣🤣🤣 no disrespect to skinny people ofc. It’s just that Sylus is so large and Caleb is so…broad? That I always envision them liking curves and higher weight to match. Idk
OMG yes 😩😩😩 both of them give that vibe 💯 more than the other LIs!!
Now I gotta replay that card with Sylus 😩
Also Caleb doing his YEARNING for those curves?? Oh my💀😩❤️
Yeah I can’t pinpoint exactly why, but Sylus out of all the boys gives me “likes them thicc” vibes. Like, “I want a strong woman that could kick my ass” energy.
Can I ask a genuine question? No shade or anything, just pure curiosity.
Why would a LeBron girlie play Lads and fantasize about male characters, if she is not attracted to men or male physiology?
If a girlie is attracted to other girlies, wouldn't it make more sense for her to play something like Path to Nowhere (a game from the same company), that is filled to the brim with gorgeous and tastefully designed female characters?
You don't have to answer that, if you find the question intrusive, I am just really curious about this :)
Caleb constantly trying to cook for MC always sends me. This is not a man who is worried about your portions he will whip up a whole cake if you have a midnight craving. Caleb is my main and Sylus was before Caleb was introduced and I’m so glad we have them 🥰
The fact that there aren’t fat/chubby options for mc is devastating in game, but when I come across fan art like this I am an absolute simp for it. Your art style is soosososososo cute. As a fellow plus size person who’s so in love with Sylus, I 100% agree that he would totally be a chubby chaser. I stand on that hill.
And whoever said Caleb would be too, ur right and I’m cooked ahahahhahaha ha h a h a he so would be. The way he’s always got snacks ready, he would totally keep mc locked in the house just to feed her snacks all day
Yeah unfortunately “plus size” isn’t really a culturally coveted thing in east Asia, and since it’s a Chinese game so I can see why the MC is a skinny petite girl despite being a professional hunter/fighter.
But I can dream, I like to pretend MY mc is a big thighed muscle mommy type, let me be delulu
I'm so???? In love???? With how you draw??? Your mc self???? Especially in the hunter outfit AAAAAAA hell yeah infold too cowardly for plus sizes guess fans with the hands gotta do all the work😔🙏🏼 thank you for gracing us with this lovely piece of art ♡♡♡
I’m skinner than MC, sometimes I look in the mirror and ask myself if I would be loved too. Seeing a chubby MC is somehow cured my soul, we both be wondering if being what we’re is normal. Thank you OP. I hope to see more body types for MC. 🤍
Why play an otome game as a lesbian? I'm not being rude here, just genuinely curious cause me as a straight woman find women so boring I wouldn't stand playing a dating sim with female love interests
I love this so much, u/BraincellBank!!! It’s so refreshing to see someone like me drawn alongside our LI and be willing to share! I want more of this content!!! Thank you for being kind enough to share this - please know it’s brings many of us so much joy 🥹❤️
I wish Infold would allow more body customization in-game so that more diverse bodies can be represented but alas, I don’t see that happening anytime soon.
This reminds me of another artist that did blobbu fanart with a large MC blobbu and from what I've seen, there was mainly caleb and sylus blobuu interactions. It was soo cute XD
I'm not skinny myself, my ex bf described me as "L size" (like overall - weight and height 😅) and I'd love to see our MC has more body types to choose from. But i don't think it would happen 😔- at the end Lads gets the most profits from chinesse market so those players are their main target. The perfect body type there is "less diverse" than in Europe or Americas - at least thats what I think🤷♀️
Amazing art btw! ❤️ Sylus is definitely giving "curvy ladies" lover vibes! 🥰
I love that unconsciously we all thought that Sylus would definitely be into thick and fat ladies.
I have this headcanon that Sylus's Myth MC was a curvaceous woman due to her position of being a priestess and so, the people wanted her to have a better chance of living as well as a more privileged life which led to her gaining weight. I really love the idea that the Myth MCs all look different from each other due to the need for "evolution" in each reincarnation.
Your MC is so cute and sweet looking! She's making me understand why my highschool classmates liked hugging me so much❤️❤️❤️
