>>91484567I actually haven't read much of it either, beyond the pages that get posted in these threads occasionally, so I guess I wasn't referring to BF specifically.
To me it just seems like there's kind of a divide between the "cute" Star Vs. art, the stuff there's nothing really wrong with but maybe doesn't stand out in the long run, to something that really seems to have the spirit of the show while also being cute.
I can't say for sure whether BF does or doesn't do that because I haven't read much at all, but it could be that the dialogue/actions/etc. are believable enough as the characters but maybe just lacking that uniqueness that'd make them unmistakably Star and Marco. But to be fair to Area and everyone else who does lewd fanart and stuff, being exactly like the characters in the show would probably make the whole thing even more awkward and less hot, and so not writing dialogue/actions/etc. as if it were an episode is probably the best decision for what they're trying to do.
Basically it's all extremely subjective and hard to define, but a lot of the Star fanart that tends to be posted in these threads tends to be missing the spark that makes it really feel like Star to me, not because it's bad but because it feels generically good more than anything. But that's just me.
Kind of a digression, but I think I just tend to find extremely on-model stuff sort of boring unless it's the show itself or spot-on with the feel of the show, and the more deliberately off-model or unusual stuff more frequently seems to capture the actual experience of it all to me.
