It's Cala again! I'm taking a break from the general shitstorm of racism, sexism, homophobia and general dumbassery. I lack the necessary frustration to deal with that right now. Because put simply, life is good. As such, this isn't a super-long post.
I can still give you some food for thought, though. It's been repeatedly observed by members of this blog that Ryuu has a whole hell of a lot in common with Chris Chan.
For one, you can make a damn good case for them both being so far in the closet they're dancing around with Mr. Tumnus and the White fucking Witch in Narnia.
Methinks someone doth protest too much.
That isn't all, mind. Both Ryuu and Chris have been coddled, sheltered and generally protected from reality. Meaning that now that they're adults, they're completely unaware that actions (and words. Can't forget the words!) have consequences.
It's sort of sad. Well, okay. It would be, if they weren't bigoted pimples on the ass of society. They're both in possession of out-of-control egos on a scale I've never seen before. There's also the serious entitlement complexes, and the belief that because you gave a clearly insincere apology that shit will stop immediately. And the--- Oh, fuck it.
It'd take much, much less time to explain their differences. I'll spare us all some severe emotional scarring and get right to the point.
The most painfully fucking obvious similarity between the two is that NEITHER ONE OF THEM IS CAPABLE OF CREATING A CHARACTER WITHOUT RIPPING OFF FUCKING EVERYTHING!
Including, in this case, the pose.
So, our original image is of a Megaman character called Launch Octopus,by BigUnit193.
Nothing overly off there, right? Well...
How about now? Ryuu's clearly decided everything on the internet exists for him to take at will.
Some points to consider while looking at this:
1. Why does an octopus need a fuckin' inner tube?
2. Nice half-erased tentacle cannon in the corner, Theft McDongs. Did you know that WE CAN STILL SEE IT?
3. HOLY CRAP, RYUU, HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO MAKE THE POSE EVEN BLANDER?
4. He ripped the pose and everything else off so clearly he may as well have traced it. Goddamn, he's halfway there anyway.

I'm gonna further expand on these points (except point 2, since that's straightforward as fuck and there's nothing more I can say) to the best of my abilities. Starting with why an octopus needs an inner tube, as Ryuu was so kind as to explain that himself.
“"Hey, that's a great idea! He'll wear an inner tube because he can't swim! EVEN THOUGH HE'S AN OCTOPUS!” Come closer and let me smack you.
A CREATURE THAT LIVES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FUCKING OCEAN CAN'T FUCKING SWIM? FUCK FUCK FUCK SHIT FUCK FUCK, THAT IS NOT HOW YOU CREATE A CHARACTER, ASSLORD.
If you create a character based off an animal to this degree? LOOK UP THE ANIMAL'S HABITAT, BEHAVIORS, ETC., AND DON'T TURN AROUND AND DO SOMETHING THAT'S COMPLETELY CONTRADICTORY WITHOUT A VERY GODDAMN GOOD REASON.
Modifying a couple of behavioral traits is one thing. Going completely against all biology and logic is another.
In short, “Oh, I thought it would be YOONIQUE and CREATIVE” is NOT a very goddamn good reason to completely fuck over biology.
So, onto the third point. Which is the blandness of that pose. Which was ripped, but whatever, y'all have eyes. You can see that just as well as I can.
Even some minor edits could make it less generic. He could, I don't fucking know, be holding a snorkel (SINCE BIOLOGY'S ALREADY GETTING FUCKED UP THE BUTT) or a squirt gun or picking his fucking nose. Pretty much anything you can think of would make it less cookie-cutter and boring.
It would also make it less ripped off. And speaking of, gonna move on to point four.
The theft. I'm sure you're wondering whether I have proof it was ripped... Beyond common sense, anyways. Come on. Look at it. I'm pretty fucking sure that's all the proof we'd really need.
But since I like backing shit up with proof, you get some anyway.
The timestamp and such on the original picture by BigUnit193:
Nothing out of the ordinary here. Except the squid-added arrow.
Just an ordinary picture posted on an ordinary deviantArt account on an ordinary day. Then along comes Mr. I STEAL FUCKING EVERYTHING:
This is what you don't want to see from Ryuu if you don't want your shit ripped off.
That would frankly ruin my fucking day considering what usually follows, but I'm guessing this person (lucky motherfucker that they are) has no idea what the fuck Ryuu usually does.
If that was anyone else I'd be all, "okay, whatever" and move on. Except this is Ryuu, and you should check the timestamp on that shitty-ass logic fuckery he shat out:
Why do I find it hilariously inappropriate when he freaks out about art theft? Shit like this.
And we're not done yet: the vomit icing on this three-tier cake of elephant crap is that in the comments, he proceeded to boast about how original his idea is. Exhibit KINDLY GO DIE:
I want a "LET ME SMACK YOU THROUGH THE INTERNET" option. Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
Now, I'm almost tempted to say "JEEZUS, LOOK AT THE STONES THIS GUY HAS"... except I don't think he's doing it out of bravado. I think he's doing it because he's a delusional, ignorant fuckwit who's somehow managed to convince himself that ripping peoples' work off like this is completely acceptable, as long as he doesn't directly trace it.
So Ryuu has another exhibit of being a liar and hypocrite on display. Anyone shocked?
… Anyone?
Didn't think so. Now if you'll pardon me, I'm going to go do something else. ANYTHING else. Maybe some crap for my pain in the ass science class. Because shit, I already have the headache...
EDIT (13 September): HEY SPEAKING OF HEADACHES. I totally forgot one last rather damning piece of evidence because classes are fucking me over.

Date
he faved it is JUST SHY OF A MONTH BEFORE HE DECIDED TO COMMENT AND UPLOAD THAT PIECE OF SHIT. Contrary
to what's been implied by some of Ryuu's fanbase, I assume you're all
smart enough to do the math here, right?
Awesome.
