How many self-inserts does one show need?
How many self-inserts does one show need?
Ethan Jackson
Evan Adams
She has a boring life so she has to put "herself" in the show so it feels like she actually does stuff
Lucas Brooks
>make a character that is basically you
>not make characters that reflect your fears and insecurities
Pathetic
Justin Hernandez
Dana-sona is for lewding
Tyler Flores
Zachary Jones
her design doesn't appeal to me, but her small size is ticking my doll/fairy size fetish really hard
Aiden Turner
Her head makes no sense. It looks like she's wearing a wig.
Colton Ward
>making a character design based on how you're too lazy to redye your hair
Kayden Gray
This is how desperate millennials are to seem interesting
Andrew Young
People self inserting into media is as old as deviant art. All you fuckers would do the same if you had the opportunity.
Ryan Green
They've usually been disguised a bit better than just being 1:1 as a main character.
Anthony Watson
I don't think a show has ever had so little interest and so many delays
Usually they have more nuance about it and less LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT MEEEEEE
Kevin Harris
Are they important Chatacters of just side/irrelevant?
Blake Torres
>Patrick McHale uses two self-inserts
>Yea Forums: Haha, that's pretty cool
>Dana Terrace does the same
>Yea Forums (before the show even premieres): REEEEE, WHAT AN UNCREATIVE ATTENTION WHORE!!
Lmao, you guys just love to complain about nothing
Liam King
I would insert myself into her if you know what I mean
Landon King
Someone post the american psycho shitposts
Julian Ward
Patrick McHale only did one and he portrayed himself as a dumpy loser who somehow managed to get girls since that was the joke. He also only showed up in maybe 4 minutes worth of screentime.
Wirt is not the same kind of self-insert. Cartoonists have made characters inspired by them all the time. Mac from Foster's Home, Dipper from Gravity Falls, Flapjack. People have even put cameos of themselves in cartoons.
But it's very rare when someone puts just a smug cartoon version of themselves with no difference and it still turns out to not just be terribly written.
Caleb Powell
it's usually the friends of artists and not artists themselves that insert cameos into their work. like how ian jq continues to show up in steven universe backgrounds despite leaving the show
dana is blatantly putting herself in this cartoon though. it's pathetic
Carson Cook
It's even older. Don't you dumb fuckers realize this? People have self-inserted into art since the dawn of art. Think of the Divine Comedy. Dante, the author, is LITERALLY a character in the Commedia. He's the main character! It's the ultimate self-insert fiction.
But we forgive that because the Commedia is very, very good. That's the entire thing. The rules of storytelling, which forbid things like self-inserts, can be broken by geniuses and high-level artists. But is Dana a genius? Is she an incredible, transcendent artist? Is Owl House going to be on the level of the Divine Comedy?
I think you already know the answer to that.
Caleb Cruz
Reminder Dana made the exact type of show her teenage self would've hated.
Ryder Jenkins
Wow it's as if people can change as they grow up.
Ethan Thompson
No I wouldn't, because I'm fucking boring and the last person I'd want to see as a character in a cartoon.
Samuel Phillips
I'd insert my self into her desu
Anthony Fisher
This show is going to suck balls and be worse then seasons 3 and 4 of star vs, im only interested in porn of the milf witch.
Noah Clark
No they can't, stop making shit up.
John Evans
That's actually a bad thing if she's trying to make a show for teenagers with similar tastes to hers.
Logan Fisher
Someone post the gif.
Lucas Brooks
Nigga they been doing that far longer
Kayden Foster
There's a difference between changing and becoming what you hate.
It's like shitting on capitalists all your young life and then growing up to be a CEO who screws people over.
Benjamin Long
Don't pretend anyone reads beyond inferno.
