Autism and cartoon characters

Post Reply New Topic

I'm 26 and currently watching Dexter's Laboratory on Netflix....

I uh...have an attraction to SpongeBob SquarePants!! !

I have many blorbos.

Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist), Minato (Naruto's father), Crona (Soul Eater), Goku (Dragon Ball), and Rin Okumura (Blue Exorcist) are my all time favorites.

I also love Tohka Yatogami from Date A Live! She is my wife

I have a love/hate relaionship with Alvin from Alvin and the Chipmunks (60s/80s cartoon incarnation). Early incarnations have him as a simple mischievous kid with a heart of gold..... then later on he becomes an arrogant jerk.

I love Om Nom Stories. My favourite cartoon character is Om Nom. I like the earlier seasons because Om Nom was young and innocent and he looked more like a pea. I love Om Nom. He's such a Sweet Pea.

I can't remember the last time I saw moving cartoons, but I'm fascinated with stills, particularly the body language. I'm also baffled at how some very unrealistic faces look fine and expressive, but similarly unrealistic amateur drawings just look bad. I always start drawing a head with the outline, but a cartoonist does the features, and may even neglect the outline. There is a huge range of artistic talent among successful cartoonists, and it also opens a window into how observant they are when they draw an object I know well. Gary Trudeau does eyes with a broad pen. It is not remotely accurate, and nobody else does it, but it works very well, offering a fine contrast to the amazed eye shape with a normal pen.

I consider Elmer Fudd a husbando for comfort reasons. And yes, he is of aged. I can't have people tell me he's "not" and result in a meltdown again.

I'm still quite happy to watch an episode of Animaniacs. I also love Adventure Time.

I don't like some animated programs because of the art style. Anything where everyone has oversized chins annoys me. I can't watch Family Guy because of that main characters bum chin. Makes me feel sick.
