But both are cute, what are you on about?
Shark is seen as an evil human-eater while in fact there's plenty of animals who kills more humans than him including dolphins(also most shark attacks were in fact accidents).
Thanks for the info!

what about a cute little creature being kind? not enough of that in this word sadly
I would treasure it forever
How about the both of them being friends and going on journeys together where they clash worldviews and compromise together
As an aspiring monsterfucker, I choose option B.
Often called "gap moe"
The second isn't used as a trope nearly as much as the first, and I do like rooting for an underdog.
Yeah, in fact I rarely ever see the second one playing out...
Indeed, the first is something of a cliche at this point.
Both are. At least in manga and anime.
Look at the boooones!
I soiled my armour I was so scared!
Thank you for the visual insight, I think it’s helped me grow
Kindness rocks, in fiction and reality.
Kindness and evil aren't mutually exclusive. Cute and scary arent mutually exclusive either.
Yes
They're both good, but I prefer the second one, because it's nice to have the ones who are usually the villains be presented in a positive light. I might be a bit biased here.
Actions matter.. looks less so.
Indeed.
If a big scary creature is kind, it is not scary
what about Creepy Good?
dammit why did you link me to TV tropes...
It's been eight hours, how ya holding up?
eventually fell asleep on the TV tropes article...
It really is like a DDOS attack for a human mind
I mean, if that thing in the example pic was consistently kind and helpful to me, I'd soon find it more ugly than creepy. Without the hair, I might not even think it's ugly
In the same way, if a lion decided I was their beloved human and consistently showered me with affection and appropriate gentleness, I'd quickly lose my fear of it
