Here's a fun little Project Sekai fact! Almost all of your faves have appropriated other cultures as costumes and some have even done blackface. If you're supporting this game and refusing to make a meaningful statement about it beyond "b-b-but i said it was bad! 🥺", you are fucking racist.
You're either anti-racist, or you're a pro-seka blog. Choose one. You can't be both.
Basically everything is problematic and actually I have criticised the cultural appropriation and racism present in the game multiple times, at no point have I refused to acknowledge it (and you’re not the first person to send an anon in). You can play the game and be anti-racist actually it’s called being critical of the media you consume and having social awareness, we’ve been over this. Everything is problematic you probably like problematic media too.
Yeah the game did revival my dream and that was fucking racist, the costumes are stereotypical and they didn’t research into any specifc native culture they just wanted to make something that would get them money. it’s not princess mononoke put the trained costumes next to each other, the trained costumes are heavily stylised to look "pretty and fashionable" and forego accuracy. I’m aware of that, I’ve said this before multiple times but you wouldn’t know that because you just randomly came here to send me this message.
Then there's also the kamikou sports fes set. Luka's qipao is very obviously altered for the sake of fanservice which is just so wrong, do not sexualise other cultures for money. Rui's I think is meant to be some sort of military hanfu? But quite stylised, which again for someone outside the original culture to stylise a traditional outfit just is a no-go because you will probably get things wrong. Mizuki's outfit seems to be based on Qi-lolita and there's a whole thing surrounding that about whether you should wear it if you aren't chinese.
and then there's the island panic cards which are both orientalist. yes, not just the boys, the girls too. the outfits aren't based on any specific culture and just mishmash different swana and south asian cultures and stereotypes together to make something that looks "exotic".
If you notice a recurring thing is that all of these are in some way wxs related, and wonder why that is, it’s because they’re the theatre unit. They wear costumes, these are just cultures being appropriated as stage outfits, because the devs don’t care they just want a quick bit of money.
all of these are horribly common in idol games and gacha games, not just project sekai, and it's important to recognise the problems rather than just blindly consuming it. If it makes money, devs will continue to include ca, recognise that.
and yeah puchiseka episode 6 happened at no point have i ever denied that. it should have never happened but it did and at the very least the fandom was able to rally together and get sega to take it down. even after they did that sega and clpl should still be held accountable for even letting it be released. while they didn't make the episode, that was entirely handled by an external company (who should also be held accountable for their actions - we're never getting a second season for a reason), sega still released it knowing full well the contents. it wasn't ganguro like people said it was extremely clearly based on a very racist and crude interpretation of african tribes, and for part of a joke no less. It was disgusting. And it’s not ganguro like how people defend it; ganguro is part of the gyaru subculture and the outfits in that episode were not that. there is no defence for what happened. at the very least, it was impressive that the fandom called out the episode and actually got staff to listen and learn. that doesn't happen in other games, and we managed to do it again with rmd. the fanbase is calling the game out and actually educating staff. It’s just critical consumption - fans of the media were able to recognise that the episode was racist and correctly called out management with enough of a voice to make staff correct their mistakes. They apologised, it’s not my apology to accept, and I still hold them accountable for the fact it even happened.
This probably all makes me sound like a white saviour, and I don’t want to speak over the people affected by this, but that’s what you wanted, isn’t it? You probably have me blocked already and never followed me in the first place, but if you really wanted to call out racism, then maybe you should’ve sent this to blogs that do turn a blind eye to the flaws in this game, not one that calls them out. Why just me? Was it because of the username, because you’re not the first person to make that quip. I know you won’t see this anon, but a word of advice. Most media is problematic one way or another, you can enjoy something but still be aware of and acknowledge its problems. Project sekai is not made with the intent of encouraging or funding harmful behaviour, yet it still includes some harmful content. Call it out, educate staff and tell them not to do it again, they listened once they can do it again.

Genshin men and their dirty fantasies
🍄Heizou, Cyno, Xiao, Tighnari
🍄SMUT, MDNI
🍄Warnings: No pronouns for the reader, dom reader, reader's barely there, breeding, tighnari has babies with reader, pregnacy kink, monsterf*cking, dub-con slutification, prostitution, pet play, exhibitionism
Tumblr media
Heizou
okay
I think we all are aware by now
that this man wears a leash with a choker
in his everyday outfit
he also remainds me of a puppy
when he jacks off, he often thinks about being your dog
crawling on all fours in the middle of inazuma
completly naked
with dog ears and tail buttplug on
his cock hard, pre-come dripping on the ground
his tounge out, face flushed, eyes hazy
the both looks of disgust and lust getting him off
its the same thing with words
"I never imagined a praised detective being such a disguting pervert"
"Hey, can i pet your slutty little puppy?"
you letting these people touch him
while he's not allowed to speak
only bark and whine in response
he loves being your obiedient doggy
Cyno
general mahamatra status holds him up to high standard
meaning
he can't exactly do any "dirty" things that would ruin his reputation
But
in his head he thinks about exactly that
him having a reptupation of a slut
thats kind of the reason he dresses like that
he secretly makes his shorts shorter every now and then
he doesn't wear any underwear either
making an inprint of his dick visible
But thats as far as he can go without causing a scandal
in fantasies thought
he only wears his loincloth
multiple gold body piercings like on his nipples, cock, belly button and tounge
ocassionaly he would dress in gyaru style
But that just the look
paying for every minor thing with his body would be the best part
of course he doesn't mind paying for your stuff as well
Xiao
killing demons all the time made him a bit
well
twisted
he in no way feels attracted to these creatures
But he can't help but fantasize about them
Them forcefully tearing his clothes off and defiling his body
trampling over his pride as an adeptus
while he can't do nothing about because of karmic binds restraining him
making him feel disgusted at himself for enjoying it
especially with your gaze on him
he feels as demons stuff his holes
as they cover his body in their filth
is this what has become of him?
of the legacy of the yakshas?
the last one standing becoming a demons whore
Tighnari
he's an animal hybrid
he has his "instincts"
at least this is what he's telling himself
regadless if you have a junk or not
he loves to imagine you breeding him
making a soft nest for him in a quiet place in your house
he just stays there and waits for you to breed him few times a day
after you're done you put a plug in him so nothing spills out
all of this,because Tighnari wants to be a mommy
being your mate that you can breed all you want
And bear as many children as you want
he dreams of being full of your children
laying in his nest with you
two little fox babies nursing at his titts while his belly is swollen with another

All Twst Characters with a S/O who likes J-fashion
A/N:
Um hi i know i havent been active like at all for a few months especially right after i started matchups but a lot of things have been going on in my personal life such as me recovering from anorexia and self harm at the same time not to mention my home life is super shitty so i hope i can get back on schedule and ill update some stuff
Warnings : i am not the most knowledgable on j-fashion but it has been my special interest since i was 7, i use different j fashions for each dorm,Fem reader, maybe mischaracterization, no sebek
Heartslabyul(Yami)
Yami kawaii, translating to sickly cute, takes doctors equipment, stuff used by the mentally ill, and cute clothes to promote mental health awareness in japan.
Tumblr media
Riddle Rosehearts
Riddle doesn’t seem to be very interested in fashion at all so seeing you at first it might confuse him
Before he overblots he may not understand or even accept the style but after he will be at least interested in it
When figuring what yami kawaii is about he is very intrigued he doesnt understand that most fashion trends/styles have true and nice meanings such as bringing awareness to mental health
He doesnt really understand why someone would dress outwardly “different” but that doesnt mean he doesnt think it looks good
He’ll get you little gifts of accessories, shoes, skirts, dresses, etc on random occasions
Trey Clover
Trey may be a little caught off guard when he first sees the fashion but he doesnt think anything bad about it
He really likes that it promotes mental health awareness but he was super concerned at first without knowing that
He’ll help you dye your hair
Trey doesn’t really see anything wrong with dressing in what makes you happy
If anyone makes fun of you or stares he’ll defend you in any situation
Overall 8/10 nice guy
Cater Diamond
Cater is surprised like everyone else yet he is excited to talk to you about it more
He might even try out Yami Kawaii with you for magicam or just for fun
He makes you do OOTD for his magiciam
He defends you in comments dream man am i right
He’ll, for a special occasion, buy you like tons of Yami kawaii clothes
Deuce Spade
He doesn’t really mind different styles unless it hurts yourself or others
Deuce gets super scared if you use like nooses, bandages or fake blood/scaring in coords
He doesnt really love fashion all that much, he probably just wears whatever is most comfortable, but he likes seeing your outfits a lot
Deuce is super protective in general since you are the first person to just treat him normally so if anyone made fun of your outfit in anyway he’ll confront them
He likes showing you off to his mom in a ton of ways not just for your appearance
Ace Trappola
He called you emo the first time he saw a coord
Seriously i dont think he cares at all like anyone can wear what they want so why does that stop when you wear something different?
He does tease you though
Any time you dress up for a date, for school, or any other event where you can dress up expect him to be teasing you the whole way
Savannaclaw (Gyaru)
Gyaru was started in the early 2000s as a movement against japans beauty standard on women, they instead of staying pale and modest tanned and wore all the less modest and bright clothes they wanted! Styles like mamba and ganguro were started by girls who liked the movement while a style, kogal, was started by rich highschool girls who could do whatever they wanted.
Tumblr media
Leona Kingscholar
I know i keep saying this but leona does not give a shit what you wear
He does admire the effort you put into your appearance everyday, plus your a girl so he already has a ton of respect for you
If you are more a extreme style gal he may think its a little bit of an eye sore but he still thinks its good that you can express yourself despite others opinions
If you have a more toned down style then he may not even expect you were a gyaru (if he even knows what that is 💀) probably just thought you were some popular girl but doesnt even say anything
No matter what ever substyle you aren’t gonna be bullied, teased or even have anything some what bad said about you ever.
Ruggie Bucchi
He thinks you spend to much money on it you should spend that much on him
He doesnt care about aesthetics or fashion he just wears what he can buy or what is most efficient
He does think that the effort you pit in everyday is admirable
Jack Howl
Wow yet again someone who does care about fashion
He finds it pretty inefficient for PE or any physical work at all
Thats why he helps you with all that!
He’s interested in how it started and less about the actual makeup and outfit part of about it, but that doesnt mean he doesnt care about it.
Octavinelle (mori kei)
Mori kei tends to keep a more natural and forest like color Palette, the style focuses on layers and they try to add as many layer they can!!
Tumblr media
Azul Ashengrotto
Azul cares about looking elegant so people take him seriously but seeing you dress like earthy pretty girl it really makes him feel… a little jealous… he’s not as confident as you but he does feel happy for you.
He loves showing you off at school or to clients
He will take silly little photos for you in front of random ass plants or trees
Your lucky to have a boyfriend that also has 2 6 foot bodyguards willing to protect you also
Jade Leech
He loves you so much
All the forest themed outfits remind him of his terrariums
He’ll go on hikes with you to take photos of your coords
He’ll buy you a little mushroom dress or shirt
Floyd Leech
He cares about shoes and thats about it
If you wear something with mushrooms he’ll act a little disgusted ngl
He doesnt care about what you wear he cares more about what you are like as a person
Scarabia (cult party kei)
Cult party kei usually consists of white and accents of red to resemble purity and slight signs of evil
Tumblr media
Kalim Al-Asim
Expect tons of clothes
I means tons of clothes, hes rich as hell and will fund all your hobbies and interests
Hes very sweet about your fashion he likes to show you off and just loves talking to you about cult party kei
He helps you with coords all the time
Jamil Viper
He doesnt care about what you wear 💀
Nah seriously he cares about how you act more than how you look cuz hes a decent human
He does think your style is cute, maybe a little risky for going outside with all that white, but he likes all the flowly dresses
Piomefiore (kawaii)
Kawaii fashion is about wearing what truly makes you happy which in their case is bright pastel colors and, as some would say, childish clothes.
Tumblr media
Vil Schoenheit
He is a little taken aback at first… he’s seen the style, not a lot, and he doesn’t know how to feel about it.
I mean he obviously warms up to it, he even thinks its adorable.
He loves helping you with makeup and coords.
He shows you off on magicam and isnt afraid to admit you two are in a relationship
Rook Hunt
Rook is insufferable with all his comments
He is too nice
Both in french and english he tells you how pretty and cute you are on the daily
He knows like every brand you wear and recommends you 10 more totally not bc he stalks you
Epel Felmier
You guys are like kind of the opposite
You being very cute and wanting to be cute and him being very… not as manly physically… and wanting to be manly instead of cute
He likes you dressing really feminine and cute because it makes him look more manly
Ignihyde (Visual Kei)
Visual kei is all about shock, the whole point of it is to shock the beauty standard, these people will wear dark clothes and big face paint that almost looks like corpse paint.
Tumblr media
Idia Shroud
Idia loves visual kei tbh but having a S/O who likes visual kei??? Hes actually dying on the floor currently
Bro is confused how he got someone so cool to like him
He likes all the makeup he’ll even let you put it on him
He loves how you look and would show you off if he wanted to go outside
Diasomnia (Decora kei)
Decora kei is all about decorating your body a lot.
Tumblr media
Malleus Draconia
Malleus isn’t used to many things in recent times even decora which came about a while ago
He does like the style on you, it makes you stand out and look very unique
He’ll let you put little hair clips in his hair and he’ll wear them all around
He doesn’t mind anything you wear because you truly have been the sweetest to him in all the school (maybe besides Diasomnia)
Lilia Vanrouge
Lilia knows what decora kei is
He likes j-fashion i dont make the rules
He’ll help you dress up and help with any acessories you cant reach or simply dont want to do
A good 8/10 great war criminal bf
Silver
Silver doesnt really care what you wear i mean its not really his place to say anything about it whether he likes it or not
That saying he loves decora and compliments you all the time
He may think it would be uncomfortable but if it makes you happy he wont stop you

hey hey! i hope you’re having a good day ^_^ can i request wally with a reader who’s really into the himegyaru style? thank you so much and have a wonderful day/night!! <3
Wally Darling with a Himegyaru reader!
Tumblr media
Wally definitely has an appreciation for your sense of style!
He likes to see just about any of his neighbors dress themselves up in all sorts of fashions and fun styles, that is what Wally believes self-expression is all about. Wally dresses himself up in his own way, why shouldn't you dress up in yours?
When you come up to him for the first time with your hime-gyaru makeup and all of the chic clothes that come with it on, Wally looks around at all of his neighbors, running around in the grass and through the milkweeds, playing with a hula-hoop or even reading a book — and then to you, blinking, with that same neutral expression, a soft smile on his face when he first sees you dress up in such a way.
"Neighbor, you didn't tell me you were so fashionable." Wally would say, rather innocently, admiring your hair and the frilly clothing you adorned, staring back up at you.
He sits up a little further in his seat, and not before long, he turns to you, tilting his head to the side when his pupils widen, growing in a dark mass.
Wally asks if he can paint you, not too long after he's first seen you.
I just think I should capture this moment. After all," He slowly blinks once more, voice growing higher before he tones it back down, "I think you look great, friend." He nods, gentle as ever, reassuringly.
If you ever do end up snagging any of your wardrobe on an overgrown bush, a prickly tree branch or otherwise — Wally will be glad to help you out!
Any rip or slash, any seam or stitch, it'll all be brand new by the time he asks Poppy for a favor, relating to your apparel. Poppy is good at these kinds of things, and by the time she's done panicking over where the needle might've gone, she'll have your attire all fixed up for you, neighbor!
You need something for your makeup, or maybe some polish for your shoes? Howdy might have something for you!
Ribbons, laces and pink satin bows, Julie has a whole closet full of them!
Anybody you ask in the neighborhood, and they are always more than willing to lend a hand for you to be able to express yourself better. Wally is no stranger to wanting to look your best, in all your favorite kinds of garb.
Wally will do whatever he can, for you to feel more like yourself!
And as a bonus, of course, all your other friends really love your style too! (thank you lots, hime-gyaru anon!! i'm really hoping this wasn't too much of a blank page, as i was trying to be vague, since i don't really know what you would wear in terms of a specific outfit, so i tried to describe what most hime-gyaru outfits tend to have in common :') i'm sorry!!! i'm hoping this is at least readable! and a goodnight/good day to you too!)

HI!!!! Ur writings r literally the cutest it makes me cry omg, could u write karma with a very versatile social chameleon fem! s/o who is highly feminine and intellectually and emotionally mature yet exudes an energy and a sense of humor deemed as more “guy like” (get it because women can’t be funny or autistic so I just can’t possibly be a woman) and though all of e class really understood each other, there was still ofc a mild difference in the social habits of not only groups but between genders bc gender norms and generalization yeah? But instead of having a specific group that they exclusively talk to because of similar social behaviors, she prefers to weave into the situations and actually project the manner of others- so like she’s very feminine presenting and witty yet also is like a dumb high school boy. Like she could be decked out in a whole gyaru look and- think of a disney channel movie bully moment- be approached by someone and clap back with the most precise and hilariously dumbfounding response, like it’s perfectly catered to the energy the person gives off in order to deliver a blow that actually gets across and hurts ! Basically a very unexpected obscure mixture of a person that isn’t afraid of getting a joke across, even if that means wearing a mustache made from mascara and a fishing shirt to truly stand for what our country stands for🇺🇸🦅make the green m&m sexy again america
Tumblr media
𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐥𝐮𝐞 🌀
desc. karma x fem!unexpected!reader!!
notes. i'm not gonna lie that was really hard to summarize but tysm for the compliment and req!!! this was so fun to write and i could tell as soon as i saw this request
also i assume this is headcanons so please tell me if that's not what you had in mind!!!
Tumblr media
you are karma's favorite person ever.
you're smart and you're funny. it's like he's found his twin flame. except she's 100x more intense.
it's almost as if you adapt to the person you're talking to as well. he just thinks you're so interesting.
one second, you're making dirty jokes with rio—and the next, you're talking with nagisa calmly about ways to kill korosensei.
you're decked out in a long, flowy dress and screeching like an eagle, flapping your arms.
and don't get him started on how much he loves your reaction to class A.
one of them begins berating a classmates for being in class E? you're over there coming up with the most creative insults ever. combinations you didn't think were possible.
karma lives to see the look on their faces after you've delivered their personally catered insult. they're actually dumbfounded.
you're constantly the center of attention together. you're going on about why birds are actually government drones and karma's starting to throw birds into the room to try and kill korosensei.
you adapt to your surroundings. god knows how many different jokes you have with different people because of this.
you play fighting games on the whiteboard with the rest of your classmates. your character is an umbrella and you have a rain buff??
it's impossible to count how many times you've used an american country accent and gone on about how much you love women and fishing.
— "LONG LIVE BASS PRO SHOPS"
it's been at least a few months since you've been dating karma. he's still figuring you out.
you both are rubbing off on each other. now karma's calling people ingrown toenails, and you tease him because he stole that from you.
the big 5 of class A still never leave you guys alone.
teppei's pushing his tests in your guys' faces with a smug look. you push your glasses (imaginary or not) up your face and sniff, mocking him.
"actually," you sniffle. "according to my calculations, you've got as less rizz than an easy-bake oven. go get some girls and then we'll see how envious we are." you say, with a wink.
the rest of the class is laughing their asses off while teppei's got the most flabbergasted look on his face that's possible. wide eyes and eyebrows to the sky, he drops the paper and runs way crying.
you make a remark about how you love making america great again by making boys cry.
the rest of the class doesn't know how to label you. you fit in with everyone.
yet, you've also got a very distinct personality. you also make references to the weirdest things, like a specific game that got really popular in 2020, especially among middle school boys...
but, they love you nonetheless. even though sometimes, you make jokes that would send you to class ZZZ.
Tumblr media
notes: assuming i understood what you meant correctly, i have like 10 friends like this. perhaps some of these are based of of them... (you know who you are 🩷)

Some pics of the new playable characters in Persona Phantom X, including their Personas, code names, and cut-in graphics! These show up during game download. (The other established characters + Phantom Thieves also showed up, but I wanted to focus on the newer kids lmao)
✧ Shun Kanou, code name Soy! We've already seen him, but I don't think we've seen much of his Persona, Mandrin, yet.
✧ Tomoko Noge, code name Kotomo! Her code name seems to be an anagram of her given name, as Kotomo…doesn't really mean anything? With a Persona (and color scheme) like that, I'd be willing to bet she specializes in Psy skills.
✧ YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR HIM, HE'S FINALLY HERE, IT'S LEO! Real name unknown. His Persona has a nice, super sentai sort of feel to it. Unclear if he'll be a character in the game storyline.
✧ Yaoling Li, code name Rin! I guess they decided to fully break away from the code name pattern? I don't think we've seen an in-game model for her yet, but she apparently exists in the P5X storyline as a Chinese transfer student.
✧ That guy we saw alongside Wonder, Kotomo, and Rin in that recent trailer: Kii! Real name unknown. Probably going to specialize in Bless or Fire skills, judging by his Persona design. Unclear if he'll be a character in the game storyline.
✧ And last but not least, Okyann! Real name unknown. Finally, a gyaru gets some time in the spotlight. She seems like she'll be an actual character, and I will cry if she winds up just being gacha fodder. Looks to be noticeably older than the rest of the playable characters thus far.
Of note: in the latest sticker set, Seiji, Mont, Yuki, and Leo only appear in their Thief gear, while Kotomo, Rin, Kii, and Okyann appear in everyday clothing. It would be reasonable to assume that Leo will be joining those first 3 in gacha fodder purgatory, while the other new characters will be incorporated into P5X's storyline.

My favorite easy gyaru hairstyles
In this blogpost I'm gonna share some ideas and inspo for some not so difficult gyaru hairstyles!
The classic sidepony:
This is one of my personal favorites. It's so simple yet such a fun and cute hairstyle !
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My ultra simple go-to if I got no time on my hands is a smaller side pony were u leave most of ur hair still down:
Tumblr media
This is also really cute with 2 ponytails!
The messy bun:
This timeless classic is one I love with bangs ! I feel like it really elevates the look!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After you just put on a cute bow/scrunchie/whatever hair accessorie u prefer and ur ready to hit town !
The half up:
This one I think is really fun cus it's so versatile. It's a basic style u can both go very simple and very extra with.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's a great way to make ur hair look big and voluminous without it necessarily being to difficult and time consuming. This hairstyle especially looks great with curly or wavy hair sense it makes the up and down part blend together more.
The bow-bun:
I'm finishing this post with a hairtyle I'm absolutely obsessed with rn ! It might take a few tries to get just right (at least if ur me haha) but it's so adorable it's worth it !
It's simple, it's comfortable, it doesn't require any hair accessories (except alot of bobby pins haha), and to me it's just so gal and so cute, what's not to love?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If u have read this far I hope this gave u some inspo ! I might make a part 2 at some point cus I feel like this post just scratched the surface haha
Have a lovely day !🌸💫♡

OK to Jynx Review?
Tumblr media
While I'm not the biggest Jynx fan, Smoochum is okay. Jynx was always kind of a weird pick for a pre-evo, as it doesn't really feel like Smoochum's presence really enhances the line in any way, but it is nice to at least have one design here that isn't quite so questionable.
Visually, the pink and yellow palette is nice and there's a fair amount of emphasis on the lips, which makes sense as kissing things is Smoochum's entire deal. The hair is cute and has a nice shape to it as well. It's nothing all that memorable, and I'm personally not a huge fan of human-like baby Pokemon like this, but it's harmless.
Tumblr media
Also, side note: Smoochum looks 10x cuter in its original GS art. The slightly wider body shape, inquisitive expression, and little buck tooth really make all the difference.

I've gone on record saying that Jynx is my all-time least favorite Pokemon and yeah, sorry, not a fan of this one.
Obviously the biggest problem here is its face, which is undeniably pretty racist and generally just uncomfortable. This is not helped by it being extremely human-like and vaguely sexualized, with the kissing thing and the chest. They did try to fix it a bit by giving it purple skin as opposed to the original pitch black color, which is slightly better—but purple's not that much different and they didn't really do anything to fix the face, so it's kind of a band-aid solution at best.
Speaking of which, I've noticed that most people try to justify Jynx's design with baseless speculation, which is weird because we know exactly why it's Like That. Here's a design from the beta version of Red and Green (the following information is courtesy of Helix Chamber):
Tumblr media
This is either beta Jynx or a Pokemon closely related to it. Its name is Buu, which makes it obvious that it's based on the Ultraman monster Woo, which is A) female (note that Jynx is 100% female), B) a yeti-ish creature (hence the parka here and Jynx's inexplicable ice-typing), and C) a creature with a dark face:
Tumblr media
There's no evidence to suggest that GameFreak meant any harm here, but that doesn't make either the beta design or Jynx itself less racist. Just kind of an unfortunate design all around.
Also, even putting that aside, there are just some other odd things with Jynx. It's abnormally humanoid, with hair, five fingers, a dress, and even boobs for some reason. I love humanoid 'mons, but this is a bit too much, and it's hard to see Jynx as something that lives out in nature normally. I also wish something in the final design reflected its ice-typing.
Here's a particularly good redesign that fixes most of my issues with Jynx but still feels like it captures the spirit of the original to some degree:
However, and this is going to sound weird: I think Jynx should get a regional.
Here me out: I get that GameFreak probably doesn't want to acknowledge Jynx too much, but a regional would be the perfect opportunity to redesign it— the regional could even be featured in place of regular Jynx going forward in things like the anime. There are some interesting elements to the design that you could play with—give it tentacles or fins and make it a water-type siren, make it normal-type and give it a viking theme, theme it after different kinds of dancing like Oricorio, etc.
Though on the bright side, Jynx's existence did at least give us one very pretty TCG card, so there's that much, at least:

Hi!! Could you define the difference between jirai kei and ryousangata? I sometimes mix them up more often than not (T_T)
Hihi!! I completely understand your confusion ꒰(˶◞ ‸ ◟˶)꒱
______________________________________________________________
To answer your question, I think we have to look at the meanings of both words first, Ryousangata (量産型) directly translates to mass production type, and in Japan it is used to describe the current mainstream fashion trends. So overtime, ryousangata changes. For example: In the kind of early 2010's (2014-2016) ryousangata could have been gyaru but now in the 2020's, it can be girly/jirai kei.
While jirai kei directly translates to landmine girl. Jirai is one specific j-fashion subculture, while ryousangata is a term for what is trending currently.
For me, at least, I think the confusion stems from what it looks like. While I do have more knowledge on jirai kei, when I search up ryousangata, I get the same clothes as jirai. I think that it is safe to say that you do not have to worry about what the difference between ryousangata and jirai kei is, since ryousangata is a term for what the current mainstream fashion trend is.

Note: I am not too well-educated on ryousangata so if anything that I've said was incorrect please let me know (´。• ◡ •。`) ♡
Edit: My moot came up with a really good note! Ryousangata (jirai kei wise) is usually produced in lighter colours like blue and white rather than blacks and dark reds. Thank you, Apollo!!(ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ.゚

do you think that like… the dr characters dye their hair or if its like natural. so curious to hear ur thoughts
i genuinely think its like an Anime Thing where its just natural . but this is fun so lets examine:
list of characters who have unnatural coloured hair : maizono , kuwata , kirigiri , enoshima, nanami , mioda, tanaka ( the streaks ) , pekoyama , souda, ouma , shirogane, toujo , amami, momota, saihara . i debated adding koizumi and yumeno on here ( nobodys hair is THAT red ) but i attributed those to more stylistic choices on natural red hair even though this would be super uncommon for japanese people . lets examine these more closely, aka would this person dye their hair actually ?
maizono - idols dye their hair fun colours all the time! believably dyed .
kuawata - definitely . look at his whole aesthetic.
kirigiri - no and we know its not dyed because of that photo of her as a kid .
enoshima - yes ! i believe she's supposed to represent gyaru fashion, wherein its very common to dye ur hair blonde
nanami - shes an ai so she wouldnt have had to dye it . in the anime her hair is more of a light brown .
mioda - obviously dyes her hair streaks
tanaka - would totally put cool streaks in his hair for the evil aesthetic .
pekoyama - dont see her dyeing her hair + she had grey hair as a kid .
souda - i think his hair being dyed pink is canon.
ouma - his hair just looks black with purple tips which would definitely be dyed , and i totally think this is something he would do. he's obsessed with being zany and whimsical .
shirogane - she would totally dye her hair blue . she just would . either to make herself look more interesting ( although this would be detrimental for what she was trying to do to blend in ) or to emulate one of the earlier dr characters ( maizono perhaps ?? )
toujo - straight up the character i can see dyeing their hair THE LEAST . if she has green hair she was born with it .
amami - could see him dyeing his hair green for fun . believable.
momota - at first i thought no but i think momota totally would be the type to dye his hair a fun colour to make himself seem cooler .
saihara - tricky one weirdly . i think if he WERE going to dye his hair any colour it would be inconspicuous , so the dark blue works well in that circumstance .i could believe he dyed his hair.
ok so in short . some characters have their zany and unnatural hair colours as children ( kirigiri and pekoyama ) and i believe it's ooc for some characters to be bothered with dyeing their hair ( toujo ). HOWEVER for v3 we can maybe write off the zanier hair colours as them being fictional characters and their design being chosen for them by the producers if you go with the idea that they're all on a tv show . akamatsu reinforces this , bc whilst it's exceptionally uncommon for japanese people to be born with blonde hair, we see that she has blonde hair as a baby .
i put way too much thought into this . but it WAS fun. long answer short even though i could believably see all of those characters dyeing their hair their wacky colours , i believe it's probably anime logic where they just are born with them .

I’m not surprised by the most popular groups (though as a l/n fan it does feel discouraging sometimes asdfghjl). But do you know the most popular characters for each unit and maybe why they are the most popular 🧐
thanks to elongated muskrat I can’t check any of the old stats accounts so this is from memory.
I believe the most popular character in Leo/need is Saki. I think part of it is the gyaru/genki girl personality, like she’s very fun and that usually appeals to a lot of people. Also she’s very popular with people who are disabled/chronically ill for obvious reasons. And like all the Tenma sibs (Incl Toya) are pretty popular, and specifically Tsukasa so I think she gets a bit of a boost from that.
More More Jump I actually am not sure. All I know is they used to consistently show up at the bottom on title stats alongside MEIKO and Honami. I think Shizuku was usually highest (this is for JP). Tbh from observation I’d say she’s probably the most popular MMJ girl in EN fandom as well. I think her looks might play a part in it I can’t lie but her voice and character arc probably help as well.
I think the most popular from VBS is Toya but again stats showed that he, Akito and Kohane are all pretty popular on JP and consistently showed up pretty close to each other (An is the least popular from VBS by a noticeable margin rip An 6ever in our hearts). Again like I said all the Tenma sibs are popular but I think his voice (on top of the fact that I’m fairly certain that itoken is one of the bigger names among the cast) and his “appears cool but is actually very soft” character archetype make him quite popular.
Tsukasa is the most popular character in the game no question on both sides of the fandom. He’s got a lot of appeal so like it’s totally understandable: his arc in the main story is a pretty solid “starts out as a jerk ends up being a nice person” kinda arc, he’s also the onii-chan character and the comic relief character. Seriously I think a large part of it is just because the game is very aware of the fact that he’s their weirdguy and treat him as such (it’s why i post so many facts about him because there’s so much stupid trivia dropped about him compared to everyone else; he runs on rule of funny 50% of the time).
N25 I think is the main one with clear different favourites between EN and JP. Mizuki is the most popular one on EN. Definitely connected to their trans swag bc a lot of fans connect to that (prsk has a largely queer fanbase on EN side). Also they’re pretty energetic and fun but also depressed and have a compelling backstory that again a lot of people can relate to. They’re very popular on JP as well just not the most popular.
For JP the most popular Niigo girl is Kanade. She’s like up there with Tsukasa on JP for most popular character. I think the appeal comes from her kindness and determination to save people despite her own trauma and she’s quite cute in an unconventional way (hikikomori) as well. I think there’s some boost from tomoriru as well being another bigger name for the cast. She voices for Revstar and voiced for Love Live Nijigasaki when the game launched, as well as some anime, and has a good following so that might be a contributing factor in her popularity.
