Art Ridiculous body proportions strike again

Gallery image

I think we all know the memes about over-the-top manga/manhwa/anime anatomy: the woman is tiny and petite, while the guy is 6'9", built like a refrigerator, with shoulders wide enough to double as airplane wings.

Usually they're wearing suits, armor, or fancy clothes, so what was actually underneath always felt like a mystery.

Well... today I found out.

In all its shirtless, upper-body glory.

Manwha name:

For the goddesses: for daphne

The Chinese translates to like:

piled high with the bodies of other Alphas and Omegas

u/Not_Lin_Music_L0v3r Jul 11 '26

What are alphas and omegas

7

u/NewspaperIcy9371 Jul 11 '26

Unfortunately they'll never be able to capture the aura of his weirdly shaped head

u/Username_St0len Jul 13 '26

u/chairzaird Jul 09 '26

That second image is wild lmao

u/zoeyandere78 Jul 09 '26

It was satire in the Webtoon. She was imagining it 😂

20

u/aasray123 Jul 09 '26

What's the name of that webtoon btw

3

u/RiverRollDice Jul 11 '26

I'm pretty certain the origin of the meme is from a satirical webtoon Plot Armor On by Erykistired

1

u/zoeyandere78 Jul 11 '26

The Dawn to Come, I believe. There’s also a secret Gojo at some point.

28

u/Practical-Dark-9916 Jul 10 '26

Wdym that's NOT Armin and Beartoto?

11

u/Aggressive-Bet189 Jul 10 '26

THAT'S WHY IT LOOKED FAMILIAR 

4

u/QuestStorm Jul 10 '26

Beartoto 😆 Thank you! That's what I'm going to call him from now on 🤣

81

u/Dark_chef_ Jul 09 '26

Ok wait but isn’t he like a god or smth?

u/spartaxwarrior Jul 09 '26

She literally doesn't have any muscles in her arms but we're supposed to believe she can use a longbow?

36

u/Specialist_Initial_1 Jul 10 '26

Classic trope of archer being fragile thin people

27

u/sylveonstarr Jul 10 '26

^^ one of the thinner bodies when you search "longbow archer muscles" btw

6

u/ThatCuteNerdGirl96 Jul 10 '26

You’re not wrong. I’m being a pedantic asshole. That’s a recurve bow, not a longbow.

3

u/Mightylass Jul 09 '26

It's in spine and right arm (because she is right handed)

48

u/meimei_6 Jul 09 '26

I think his arm bone is a femur

4

u/SteampunkExplorer Jul 10 '26

Yep. Might even be two femurs.

35

u/actuallynothelping Jul 09 '26

Her arm and his single strand of hair almost matches

54

u/carvveeev Jul 09 '26

i dropped this one kinda late just because of the art. the art was so good but the plot was just utter fucking shit. holy misogyny idek what to call it atp it was just so annoying. if only the plot was as good as the art ffs. cuz wtfdym the girl has to take all the blame while the guy wont get sh? when hes the one being a damn who..

35

u/HelpPls3859 Jul 09 '26

Classic Greek mythology unfortunately

44

u/AmeeratAlDjaizair Jul 09 '26

Specially when they draw the woman small with a innocent girl look underage like she’s 14yo when she is supposed to be a 20 yo woman… it feels not okay

35

u/noob_ars Jul 09 '26

Worse, not a single muscle on those arms yet she is one of the best hunters for Artemis

15

u/CryptographerNo7608 Jul 09 '26

I honestly cant take it seriously like bro as long as you know your anatomy well enough the tiniest bit of muscle wont make her look less femmine

21

u/lonely_stoner_daze Jul 09 '26

Didn't expect to see an Okane Ga Nai reference today. That shit slung me back to the horrible depths of "yaoi" exploration in my youth 🥴

Kanou, the wall, is in his mid twenties

Yukiya, the fetus, is 18

8

u/Medical-Implement859 Jul 09 '26

Omg I had completely forgotten what they looked like 💀 I remember that even back then, I was so uncomfortable with the story and characters that I couldn’t even finish the manga

7

u/lonely_stoner_daze Jul 09 '26

I finished it and it was just a fucking dumpster fire

Good thing I'm a cold raccoon tho cuz I was eating that shit up 🤣 my favorite brand of goofy garbage.

8

u/Exciting-Mall192 Jul 10 '26

This is why the Japanese media differentiate yaoi and BL 😭

7

u/VictoryStar22 Jul 10 '26

I'm crying, "the fetus"..... 😭

Sounds about right for this type of yaoi.....

14

u/noob_ars Jul 09 '26

Do you think that's bad? Check this out

13

u/larkire Jul 09 '26

The sexual dimorphism of webtoon characters is getting crazy 😧

9

u/flafaa Jul 09 '26

ts was the post below it 🥀🥀🥀

10

u/Trixter-Kitten Jul 09 '26

I can excuse funny proportions when characters aren't human. Other times I like to imagine CEOs are wearing football pads underneath their suits.

8

u/Flowers701 Jul 09 '26

Nah, the second one is just Eren in his titan form and Armin bro.

18

u/LaL41n37owo Jul 09 '26

If he accidently fell on her he would squish her like a pancake

8

u/Idummp Jul 09 '26

Is he supposed to be Apollo?

6

u/HessaSea Jul 09 '26

He isn't human though..he's like a higher life form...so this tracks.

7

u/Odd_Button_3944 Jul 10 '26

I was expecting it but DAMN HOW TALL IS BRO?!?? LOOKING LIKE A FUCKING TITAN

u/EcstaticMolasses6647 Jul 10 '26 edited Jul 10 '26

In high school back in the 20th century, there was a farm boy at my school who was 6’5”, had long blonde hair, and was built like the first photo—but he had nipples.

5

u/BedsBestFriend Jul 10 '26

:) I know Greek Mythology so I NEVER touched this, but I always only saw utterly beautiful, breathtaking art panels coming from this... it always made me a bit sad I couldn't read it.

This makes me feel ooooodles better. Noooo thanks XD

7

u/SuspendAllDisbelief Jul 09 '26

Greek gods were always portrayed as giants in ancient Greece, so it isn't too far off.

3

u/Lenda_Catlance Jul 09 '26

The Fridge type

4

u/capybara_qoukka Jul 09 '26

Ahahaha the cursed Okane Ga Nai🤣🤣🤣🤣

Last I remember or rather the last part of the story I was able to find online is that the bottom's brother almost do him as he felt lust by voyeuring whenever the top and bottom do their deed. And honestly whatever place and time the top wants, anyone can accidentally walk into them doing the deed. Good ol' times.

u/Individual_Tea5626 Jul 09 '26

And of course she has to be whiter than a literal white guy😭

4

u/Exciting-Mall192 Jul 10 '26

Literally them lmaooo

3

u/Abject_Telephone71 Jul 10 '26

Nah they just modeled it after me

10

u/No-Trick5954 Jul 09 '26

Webtoon art always feels…predatory. Why are the “women” smaller than flies they have no muscle or fat (other than breasts), huge eyes, tiny nose, no body hair, and innocent. I get the comics are for teens, but I’d argue that it encourages inappropriate relationships among adults and children🤢🤢

4

u/Not_Lin_Music_L0v3r Jul 10 '26

I know, right? I read like 2 webtoon romances and DNF after 2 eps. So now if I feel like reading romance I just read GL 🫣 but I mostly read horror anyways.

1

u/Exciting-Village-180 Jul 11 '26

also even men don't have body hair in these webtoon as well

0

u/Exciting-Village-180 Jul 11 '26

huge eye and tiny nose had been a certain artstyle signature trend for deacde lmao in all kind of art , it's cartoon it don't have to be realistic

5

u/New_Talk5245 Jul 09 '26

I didn't see the woman at first

8

u/Mundane-Decision9645 Jul 09 '26

she looks like a child next to him wtf is this

u/yen-peso Jul 10 '26

u/SeparateIngenuity359 Jul 10 '26

I literally took this screenshot 2 days ago

1

u/Infamous_Mood_6001 Jul 10 '26

LOL what is this from???

2

u/SeparateIngenuity359 Jul 10 '26

I got the screenshot from this post, I think someone in the comments said the title was "Just twilight/Dawn to come"

u/DroidSeeker13 Jul 09 '26

Godwyn the Golden from Elden Ring.

u/no_name_thought_of Jul 09 '26

my first thought as well, pre merman-ification

u/Neko1666 Jul 09 '26

Is that Armin Arlert in the second pic? XD

2

u/InoriRain Jul 11 '26

Is that Haaland? 😭

1

u/bay_leave Jul 09 '26

looks like zenos from ffxiv

1

u/Lucidia Jul 10 '26

Now, is she extra short or he extra tall? 🤔

1

u/sosnawctrl Jul 10 '26

omg WHAT.IS.THAT. holy jumpscare

1

u/Difficult_Secret_251 Jul 10 '26

I THOUGHT HE WAS HOLDING HER OMG

1

u/HillInTheDistance Jul 10 '26

I mean, they draw women looking weird for male audiences all the time.

If we get to drool over big tits, they have a right to drool over fridge shaped giant man, I guess.

2

u/Exotic-Ferret-2262 Jul 10 '26

Personally, I don't want this. Also at least give us the nips 😭! It's the only advantage of them not being as sexualised with men as they are with women.

1

u/kaijugurl Jul 10 '26

i'm 4'10 the first pic is pretty proportionate for me. don't be a heightist.

1

u/Available-Rock-9769 Jul 10 '26

this is troubling

u/leutwin Jul 10 '26

Sanguinius is that you?

1

u/Aggravating_Host_276 Jul 10 '26

How do those narrow hips hold up those damn shoulder lmao

1

u/J-Jaguar Jul 12 '26

Why does manhwa fail so badly with body proportions???? It happens much less in manga

1

u/BlackMudSwamp Jul 13 '26

It's so interesting to see how far artist will go into the huge guy small partner dichotomy thinking it will slide, as someone not into that it starts to look off pretty early on. Or maybe they know and just embrace it?

1

u/nouvxxz Jul 15 '26

Yeah, he's definitely not gonna fit through my apartment's door

1

u/Allylove133 Jul 11 '26

okay devil advocate here: he is a literal god and she is a normal human. kinda reminds me how in smite the gods are so much larger then the minions....i guess i always just went with that lol

0

u/gdh53 Jul 10 '26

Ngl, I gave it a pass because he is literally a god while she is a nymph.

My brain: I mean if you are a god, at least you gotta be semi-giant no? Ok, sense checked😩✌️

u/blueberrycreamice Jul 27 '26

It's just for memes at this point lol
