Zaven Rose / 68BEARS - creator of the webcomic Lunchbox

[Flustercuck]

Zaven Rose is your stereotypical tumblrina, who makes art that is painful to look at and is infamous for making a drawing of love live where all the characters are, of course, trans

Spoiler: This godawful mess

(archive: http://archive.md/lVzRZ)
He's a "22 y/o Armenian guy. he/him pronouns" who currently lives in the UK but loves everything Armenian, and loves making everything trans so much that 9/10 in his webcomic "Lunchbox" is trans, and it is explicitly all about being trans.

he has a deviantArt: https://68bears.deviantart.com/ (http://archive.md/SRxmc)
a furaffinity (because of course he does) : https://www.furaffinity.net/user/68bears/(http://archive.md/DEO3M)
tumblr: http://68bears.tumblr.com/ (http://archive.md/LZ69k)
twitter (where he is mostly active) : https://twitter.com/68bears (http://archive.md/2ZqoM)
and here's his webcomic: http://lunchbox.webcomic.ws (http://archive.md/k1oEV9)

not only does he draw mostly trans characters, but he also draws them just as the stereotype that tumblr usually is trying to combat itself, with really masculine men with long hair and feminine clothing but not trying to pass otherwise

Spoiler: like Yasmeen and Lily here

He also does not know how faces works, as can be seen in most of his works

Spoiler: Seriously what is this

and he's also made these beautiful drawings of his characters just to show how progressive he is

Spoiler: NSFW ahead

and of course the cat smiley is used to symbolize pussy and eggplant emoji is used to symbolize dick

This art is so Steven Universe it hurts. It's wannabe Deviant-Art wannabe How To Draw Manga wannabe anime. He even draws his characters with that repulsive vertical nose-slit.

His characters even have the same bubble-cheeks as Steven Universe characters.

His characters even have the same bubble-cheeks as Steven Universe characters.

And his texting is also typical Tumblr speak.

Using "Yikes", yup, definitely a tumblrina.

I read his comic (unfortunately) and it's just a millennial circle jerk of non-cis-scum college students going to coffee shops and dance lessons. Blue hair is in a 'fuck but not love' relationship with the one light brown haired chick, and that's literally the only plot.
70 plus pages of mspaint level art with plenty of linework errors that actually turns from Steven Universe into Rory-tier anatomy later on, lot's of cringy non-jokes with tumblr language, and OneyNG faces slapped on what looks like redraws of memes as punchlines. Only thing that's decent is the character design, imo.
Meh, not really all that special unless he chimps out over something, but even his twitter seems kinda tame. The comic itself is actually not all that SJW either, only one panel where someone misgenders a non-binary oc and then apologizes, nothing else. Needs more milk.

so.. one of the characters is doctor zoidbergs human but still has the nose tentacles son whos 99% sure for sure named after lil peep, is a edgy character just by design of the dark tall emo and "constantly anxious uwu and plants"? the only explanation for this abomination to science? the "queer inclusive diversity webcomic" art style

overall heres some digging i did on this

heres their comic profile page for the site their comic is hosted on if you want to be more not surprised (would archive but cant)

and also you will never believe this post made by them, for someone who used to draw a lot of steven universe

Spoiler: when ur art style has no obvious originality and someone says it to u

https://archive.md/DrJWz

but a tweet before all this about their art style, a year before.

....does their art style in like 2016/nowish...... look like muppets to anyone else?... also why does lance from voltron look... high?

Spoiler: i have to spoiler this because it hurts to look at

two times within 6 pages, only two pages apart.

also lunchbox was started in 2016

the tweet about them feeling insulted about their art style getting compared to SU was recently but
the most recent page...

also, heres the character profiles on the lunchbox tumblr.. screens under spoilers for cringe purposes and archive in case they delete it/revise and also their "portfolio" thats probably all fanart..? the full bodies of the lunchbox crew is sorta.. painful to look at?

Spoiler: its as bad as you think trust me

"mostly to help with their mental health"

^ thats doctor zoidburgs son

also heres all of the character designs for the characters for lunchbox...

and it makes me uncomfortable to see this

um... hopefully, this wont turn into a extra tumblery character with a disability..? poor dude..

also zoidberg's son is pretty much their version of a very extra edgy L from death note copy cat oc with a zoidberg nose by the way hes standing

also heres the full bodies of everyone

Spoiler: i wanna die

Spoiler: This godawful mess

The virgin Ayase Eli

VS

THE CHAD ELI

All of the characters in "Lunchbox" look so bootleg Steven Universe that it's going to kill me. Eventually, like in the real Steven Universe, everyone will just become tiny.

EDIT: I just noticed the art style changes from Steven Universe to OK KO! in one of the pages. Wow... this is real diversity.

 

[Nekromantik]

This thing is built like a Frankenstein monster.

You can not have both abs and a muffin top lion person, I'm sorry.

 

[Fistbeard_McThunderaxe]

Awkward Zombie sure went on a downward-spiral.

 

[Berserker Armor]

so, did more digging because this cow makes me laugh with how hard they hard to be "progressive" "inclusive" and get mad over people point out their obvious steven universe aesthetic like art style that i have to laugh at it and see how badly they make themselves look.

so heres some fun stuff found by yours truly.

Spoiler: so those trans beauty art prints? NSFW AHEAD

yup, they have uncensored versions and you will never believe how badly they draw penises
they look like either some mini pigs in a blanket or just a hot dog i cant decide.
also the fact they add 'these r in no way sexual/sexualising trans bodies' when its sorta obviously meant to be artistic nudity makes me feel like our friend here might have a past or have been accused of such, falsely or in truth who knows..
more fun stuff on the nsfw blog being:
a art thing of two of the love live girls as transboys but one is in lingerie????
and art of the lion muscle girl with a muffin top whos apparently a cam girl and i just now noticed it in the bio for her... apparently stoner kid helps.. poor stoner kid no wonder they look so fucked up all the time.

im also beginning to think all of the transgender male characters have top surgery done because they cant draw boobs to save their own life despite having them. or butts.

also "despite the url there isn't that much smut"
oh. well. sure. whatever. you say. also nice thirst posts. nudes sorta..
also its mostly gore thats just bad and annoying as you go back but more and more oc art now.

heres the nsfw blog url: https://69bears.tumblr.com/
would archive it but its tagged as explicit so cant.

Spoiler: some fun lunchbox tumblr finds

i didn't know what face to compare it to other then this or what but i did

interesting that i'm assuming this character is supposed to be a transgender woman since "just assume everyone is transgender and pansexual unless a character states otherwise" so why the boxers?
post link archive

Spoiler: also this is funny about this chara so

totally not a love live reference

they did that character mash up meme, its pretty bad.

Spoiler: its obvious for some but also god

"dont call my art style like steven universe uwu" *lapis in character mash up*

also big tiddie dragon girl and mugi being on the list scares me.. this dude is gonna make them troons or something im scared

OG post archive

the saddest thing is the art style difference and how tumblr upped this character is. he was cute. you cant believe he looked like that? I CANT BELIEVE HE LOOKS LIKE THIS

archive
ps: tell me he isnt named after Steven Universe thanks

can we talk about how i cant tell which one is the redraw and which one could be the old one
archive

from the patreon header

who is this fellow

Spoiler: something i noticed with lunchbox

main characters body type in the second page
now

this was way too funny to not spoiler. the whole world gotta see this. for someone who "tried to influence in rebecca sugars style last year and the year before" it seems you havent changed or studied well in facial expressions NOT from steven universe aesthetics

archive

Spoiler: love live.. fun stuff

first off, this makes me want to Die.
on a serious note. Yoshiko the one listed to have "DID" aka the only one on this list with that. Has persona of a "fallen angel" and is described as "her delusional persona". She also prefers to be called Yohane aka her personas name. Which.. I'm guessing the Alter of Her "system" Is Yohane? which her persona is actually what she uses on a livestream/youtube thing that apparently has a lot of viewers and her in the idol group.
and whats funny is that all of the girls are listed to have autism or aspergers? which is the same thing since i'm sure they are referring to them being more aspergers then you know.. tism af.

so.. i'm assuming those headcanon drawings in the OP of this thread had back lash enough that they had to put this in their FAQ.


which i mean, is rightfully justified with these drawings of the character AS BLACK CODED vs their canon designs with their cover up of
"As far as I know, japanese people can be dark skinned so I didnt rly see much of a problem of it cuz I thoguht i was still drawing them japanese anyway" which just reads as
"it was a accident that i drew these characters with dark skin like black people cuz i thought japanese people could be dark like a black person and didn't think about how japanese people aren't close to black people in darkness so im just saying this to cover my ass uwu" when you could easily look up examples of japanese skin tones/asian countries in gen (or even in general east asian skin tones) despite the lack of examples if you google these things and a lot of the results being about skin whitening in east asia.. obviously.. these be black skinned af, no where japanese

Spoiler: in gen shit i noticed with this dude on his accounts

he made this post and now has it queued i think. archive

more of his FAQ
archive

i think the back lash of the love live thing and people telling him that his art style is like steven universe has made him "dont tell me anything about my art cuz everything you say isn't helpful" because with his art style he has gotten tips on how to change from the steven universe style like every person who does has, considering theres post on how to change your style from it's influence (which he has mentioned it having). Also overall there's THOUSANDS of helpful ways to change your art style if you yourself don't like it or someone has pointed out something that would be helpful to change/work on even if the person doesn't give you sources or "back up to how you can improve" and do something different with your art style by doing one simple thing

and heres something you never see a rattie or cow of this sort talk about or even consider with their ~transgender characters~ archive

also heres a selfie

Spoiler: twitter finds

and also this tweet which confused me? which charas are middle eastern? archive

also this add on.. what the fuck is going on with the middle one? are these the middle eastern charas???

Spoiler: google

now the main chara and her brother have a last name of Abajian

which is armenian like he says he is. so middle eastern.

and uh

now this..... uh... seems like something he would google to add onto his "middle eastern" character thing.. if u look at those characters i guess are supposed to be middle eastern because Big Nose?
well umi has a greek last name and being greek/from greece isnt middle eastern
hannah is mentioned in her character thing on the blog to be Lebanese and last name of Sarkis but heres the thing

its a given name aka first name for Armenians according to behind the name so if our friend here tried to make them middle eastern by the last name maybe.. they should have googled it more because as a surname is greek and arab which is neither middle eastern but

i believe he didnt do very good thought processing on character naming.. of course since he has a character named after a love live girl and the siblings have literally feminine and masc variants of each others names despite one being a trans male?

also he mentions not lavash but knafeh in the first pages of his web comic, what is drawn which sorta looks like knafeh so uh. did he put knafeh instead of lavash on purpose or??? also this tweet im confused

really wants rep for middle eastern people forget adding other races or minorities btw

well.. i also dug on him being middle eastern
you are from here which calling yourself that means your ethnicity not race, wikipedia explains it and every other resources say so and one talking about it as a ethnicity


and also with account being made in 2014, you mentioning being middle eastern in anyway until 2016

first tweet mentioning it not about him but an artist

i.. im

this tweet being the first
so yeah. sure, jan.

and they were active in 2015

drawing a lot of steven universe may i add

heres some links not included in op that could be useful

his patreon
an etsy?
a fucking weasyl (archive)

Spoiler: some screens from patreon

Spoiler: etsy

free lily

all of this was a hoot to look at. just wish poor stoner kid actually would look relaxed and stoned, not paranoid and tripping

 

[bvt_hooligan]

this person's artstyle is blander than a slice of white bread dipped into unsweetened oatmeal.

how can one look at this and think: "yeah, that's totally the best i can do?"

 

[Rayemond46]

Spoiler: Is it just me or this chick looks like an alien

 

[MarvinTheParanoidAndroid]

Oh my God there is so much to read now.

 

[Varg Did Nothing Wrong]

This makes me wish the Armenian Genocide was more successful

 

[Berserker Armor]

This makes me wish the Armenian Genocide was more successful

are you one of the so called turk sending him death threats he claims to have been getting for years?? thats racist uwu!!!
(this was on a tweet he made... it was hilarious i should have archived it and added it.. will later)

Oh my God there is so much to read now

i apologize. this dude is a good attempt as trying to be a cool tumblrly queer inclusive artist "POC" with the art style of tumblr sjw uwu aesthetics + steven universe BUT dont call it that. he's easy to profile and debunk and it makes me laugh cuz its so easy, thanks google and common character building ( not naming your characters not after anime and using google to find proper last names for the character from their region of origin) knowledge for writers.
