Shinwa Revamp



So I don't really know what's in the water this month in Saherimos, but I'm feeling AMAZING. Feel free to stop by my Temple to see me some time. You can help me find my forever missing jewelry, or just sit and have a bit of a gossip on my fluffy pink furniture. What do you mean a goddess shouldn't gossip? I can't help myself. It can get so incredibly DULL living in exile. I could do with a vacation! I wonder if anything fun is happening next month that I can sneak away to partake in?

"I don't like childlike goddesses"

Viridi is going to kick all of your asses

Seriously, having a goddess character being ageless and mysterious and solemn is boring, which is why I find the Oracle bland, and the actual goddesses : Merana, defeated by her own hubris, Maleria who proved that curiosity doesn't kill every cat and Shinwa, who is a gossipy hen, much more interesting

WOW I can't believe the comment I just read. I think I've officially met the biggest asshole on subeta. This revamp doesn't appeal to me much but jesus christ! Who the fuck cares if she's bigger now?? How will this affect your life in any way???

Could the omen islands festival be next month?
I'm excited but at the same time, I'm not entirely sure Shinwa should show up at the Omen Islands festival? Like, look what happened to the last person who looked like that who showed up

No one should be taking opinions about a Subeta character personally... This looks like much more than a "revamp" to me; it looks like a completely new character with "off" proportions (big or small).

I do think it's great that the revamp is giving people confidence in themselves! It is indeed nice to see a NPC as a more realistic person ^^ Personally I don't think she looks very mystical anymore, but that's not to say that I don't appreciate the rework, and hope to see more in the future :')

I don't know what any of you are talking about "fat". She's not fat. She's not even REMOTELY fat. She DOES, however, look like a very young child masquerading as a goddess instead of a lovely, elegant, mystical, magical adult that's a goddess.

I just...no...I just don't like the thought of a goddess looking like a child. It's all the wrong vibes

Shinwa looks a lot like Amy now. Her necklace looks similar to . Her revamp was done on the last day of the month. The only time the omen islands festival was held was back in 2009, and the achievements are listed under seasonal, not site events. Could the omen islands festival be next month?

The thing is Shinwa is not actually wise, she just thinks she&;s wise. She&;s also well-intentioned, but rather vain and self-centered. So I think the childish look of the revamp fits her personality.

She is Elle Woods at the start of Legally Blonde, except instead of being a lawyer, she is a goddess.

Shinwa always was a friggin valley girl. The Oracle is the wise and generous one. Shinwa is the "Like, did you totally find my bracelet? That's tubular!"

omg wow. k, this is coming from someone who is stick thin. There is absolutely no one on this thread getting mad at people for being thin like ???? How would you like it if you put on extra weight and someone came up to you and said "lol you have fat arms?" There is absolutely nothing wrong with any body types and the people who are upset at that person for talking about Shinwa's fat arms are not inadvertently saying "if you're skinny then you suck." They are saying it's not nice to call someone fat. Just like it's not nice to call a small person anorexic. There's absolutely nothing wrong with getting upset over a rude comment like saying that someone looks "fat" like it's an insult. Because it is.

To me, it looks like they were trying to make her cheeks a little chubby, but kind of went overboard and they just look swollen. And she doesn't look plus sized to me, at all. I see very thick, muscular arms, a swollen face, and a typical size 8ish body

Sorry to come off as bitchy but I&;m getting sick and tired of the whole "fat power" kick that everyone is on now. A body is a body no matter what size it is so just get over yourselves it doesn&;t make you any more special than anyone else
It's not a "fat power" kick, it's wanting to be treated like a fucking human being for a change?? Jesus Christ take your own advice here and get the fuck out with your "you've probably got some form of food in your hand as you sit and type" bullshit. Yeah, people can have opinions but they don't have the right to be a dickwad about them ???

WOW!! It really got ugly in here, all over a revamp drawing. So.... changing the subject... In her article, she hinted at some sort of EVENT for next month. ANd next month is actually TOMORROW!! So anyways, just wondering if the staff has something really awesome planned for June.

I am so ready for some kind of mini event.

I dunno, I like her, and then I don't, and then I do, and I don't know how to feel. And it's not her body shape, it's something about her eyes? I dunno. Definitely glad she got a revamp, though, she really needed one!

  1. No. This isn't America. This is Subeta. And you don't have the right to be a dick.
  2. Wow, also no. She isn't even fat? She's average body weight, from what I'm seeing?

eats my S'more poptart is also thin but isn't hella rude about how other people look bye

I love her! The only thing irritating me is that her face is a bit child-like... I dunno, she looked ridiculously young to me at first, but I actually seem to get used to it. Aside from that: love the new tattoos, love the expression, love the hair and love especially that amazing dress!

I don't think she's fat... but the right wrist (our right) looks all blobby, more like an ankle than a wrist. And the left arm looks like it's sticking out towards us, awkwardly. The neck looks too thick, and the head's too big.

So altogether she's rather disproportionate and unpleasant. Also she's not at all in keeping with her previous image. It's not just an updated image with better art, it's a complete overhaul of what most of us think the character's supposed to look like. So yeah, that's probably why a lot of people hate it. She's supposed to be wise and beautiful, not childish and tomboyish. At least I didn't think she was. ~.^

I like the belt-y sash and the eyes are kind, but I think if you're going to stick with the completely new character design, you could at least fix the awkward bits.

The right to free speech applies to the governement. You're right that the government cannot prohibit you from stating your opinion.

However, I'm not the government, so I can tell you I don't care for you and your bigoted opinions.

Lol @ people complaining about how she's "fat" now. Even if she WAS drawn fat (which she was not - check out her waist), what's the problem? If seeing a fat NPC freaks you out then I'm wondering how you act when you walk outside and see a real live fat person (they exist!! wow!!!).

All of you that are in here berating people for the fat shaming why don't you take a few minutes to realize that not all real life women are curvy little pudges that outnumber the majority of the population. Some of us are actually thin and in shape and have nice bodies because we work for them and watch our health and what we eat. Just because you think you're a special little snowflake for having a bit of meat on your bones is no reason to put down people simply expressing their opinion over an already established thin character getting bigger for apparently no reason at all. I'm sorry but the extra weight makes her look like shit. She looks like she got in a fight with a botox machine and the botox won.Stop calling out the fat shamers and berating them as rude when all they're doing is giving an opinion on the revamp which they are allowed to have because we have a right to free speech. Grow up and have a more open mind when it comes to weight because just because a person is skinny and in shape does not mean that they are suddenly targets for being thin, just like you don't like being called fat even when in the same breath you've probably got some form of food in your hand as you sit and type. People are allowed to have opinions so shut up and let them have them!
