Damn so this is the OG before the OG?

This is the earliest I've been able to find still intact; the reblog is dated 2014, but the original post could have been as early as 2011. Which is why I'm wondering if Draco Malfoy is more appropriate than Malfoid, since this far precedes any concept of the trend (similar to post #4743679 and some others).

It is, and all of these pre-Malfoid designs should be gardened out at some point, but NNT thinks it's better to wait until after the hype has died down before we start gardening it:

That's not gonna stop when we change the name to Malfoid. It's a given with art trends like these.
There's no much point fussing over it right now, in an ideal world if we had virtual tags we'd just redirect malfoid to genderswap (mtf) + Draco malfoy, but we don't (yet) have that kind of function, so it's fine to ignore mistags for this specific tag for a few months. We can sort out specific chartags and designs once it stops being popular.
Trying to overpolice this tag while it's at its most popular would do more harm than good for us.

Is it bad that I don't want it to stop?

I have a version of this that I saved in May 2012 that includes the genderswapped Silver Trio, and genderswapped Hagrid. It was part of a two-piece set.

Guess I'll upload them.

sorry

Dios ko po.

Thank you for taking over the uploading of these!

I might be able to do some translating, but anyone else is also free to do so if they desire.

This is partways awesome, partways tragic, since the driver should be Reizei Mako's mother, to finish off the theme... T_T

…how?

i could take the left one

I dunno why this Aunn caused so much ire in the dumb section of Western Touhou fans

Yeah, I can't imagine why lazy gooner slop in a lazy cash grab of a game wouldn't go over well with Touhou fans.

Because this doesn't feel like Aunn. Would be fine if it was just Aunn with her usual clothing and a bigger bust, but sexy Aunn, maybe not.

I don't know if I'd say the issue is it doesn't feel like Aunn. I'd almost argue the opposite: It kinda feels too much like Aunn for me.

Eternity, Piece, and Nue all looked like their normal versions grown up. They seemed like their tastes and demeanour significantly matured in that time too, and so it wasn't just something that could be one-to-one'd. I can't see regular nue looking like post #9351737, for example, and it's hard to imagine piece or Eternity Larva's grown-up forms in anything closer to their canon outfits.

This feels a lot more like a straight sexed-up version of the character, with not much greater thought going into it. There's far less interesting details put into the design beyond just giving her curves. It's not older Aunn, it's just Aunn But Bigger, when they've proven they can do a lot more with these concepts. Not helping matters is that Aunn can be very easily seen as being around Reimu's age, and even some cases where Aunn's drawn to similar body types as this without being meant to be seen as more mature than canon. so she really needed to be brought to something closer to the Nue and Eternity skins to feels matured, compared to this which is more Clownpiece level.

A lot more could have gone into the design to distinguish her from the base; a different base outfit to suggest a changed outlook, a different hairstyle, a different demeanour. Could have had her adopt a look closer to what an actual shrine's assistant or guardian would wear, or even go the other direction and give her something like a bikini top and shorts look a la one piece's Nami. You could genuinely make it sexier and still have it feel less lazy, if you use that sexiness as a compliment to a more thoughtful mature redesign. This is just Aunn with her tits and horns scaled up.

Truth nuke! In my own opinion, I would have her hairstyle to be in swirls, maybe that's just me, but I would think she looks cuter with swirly hair.

Aunn is meant to be more like a fluffy friend. This version of Aunn (A16& Aunn) looks more like those carwash girls who appear in movies from the 70's and 80's.
