recoloring people is something that is done with good intentions but is super weird and distasteful to me

...yes, but tumblr can weird, and I don't care to associate with them. Overall, I think it's neat that folks can have such wildly different interpretations of characters, and I'm not going to go all no true Scotsman about fandom, but I have my own ideas and impressions about the characters that are far from those folks'.

it's fine in the sense that it's neat when people produce well-made fanart without emulating japanese cartooning. recoloring's a whole other discussion tho

for some reason to me a fanwork that is 'i like these characters and want to do something different with them' seems cool but 'i like these characters but not the way they look or do anyhting at all so i'm just gonna make up an entirely new design' is like... are you sure you really like this thing at all....

Umi and Eli aren't bad Love Lives but that seems like a just really boring pairing

Its strength lies in contrasting their similarities (e.g., honest, no-nonsense leaders who put the needs of others ahead of their own) with their differences (e.g., Eli is secretly quite goofy, Umi is easily embarrassed). I thought similarly, but some of the doujins Motto mentioned brought me around (though I still prefer NozoEli).

Well, some probably don't like the original thing and don't consider themselves fans, but most probably like it but find various faults in it that they think they can fix. It's neat when they try, because sometimes they succeed, and having a bunch of people trying to bring their own ideas about characters to life is what makes for a vibrant fan scene, even when most of it isn't so good. LL's fan scene is my favorite part about it, and what originally attracted my attention to it, and all these weird tumblr folks are a part of that.

I remember reading a few years back about some webtoon artist who tried to redesign a buncha things. I mainly remember superhero outfits and Legends of Zelda characters.

I'd like to think that people can still enjoy a work without loving the designs, so I guess I can sorta understand the desire to change them in a way they feel is right?

Though then again the problem could have been with the outfits more than the characters themselves, but that does raise the question of how much of a character is defined by their outfits. The stuff that boom posted had an artistic style that was way different from the actual cards, so I dunno.

I found the webcomic artist.

It was Aaron Diaz.

For some reason I thought it was the guy who did Dominic Deegan or whatever that's called, but I was wrong.

I know nothing about either, as I have not read their webcomics.

the reason that mario kart is so successful and most other kart racers arent is that a great deal of attention is paid to the handling of the karts, which is a point that many other developers neglect

two other games that get this right are sonic and sega all stars racing, and blur. blur also happens to have fantastic item and track design that makes interactions with other racers deeply strategic and interesting in a way that it often isn't in kart racers

I'm very close to 1CCing Crimzon Clover in novice mode (TLB down to the last sliver of health multiple times) but I'm lazy and my ability to concentrate hard enough for shmups varies a lot. I've got a lot of time this summer though so I'll probably get it done.
