Canvas.Fediverse.Events ended, and this caught my eye. She looks familiar.

Who is this character from?

EDIT: Thank you so much!

Megumin = the character
KonoSuba = the anime series (the actual title is rather long)
chuuni = basically a delusional teen who sees the world through rather coloured glasses. (I'm being simplistic)
isekai = stories where the main protagonist (not Megumin in this case, but her friend Kazuma) is sent to another world, often a fantasy one (that's the case here).

Thank you! I'm not into anime and now your comment makes much more sense for me!

You're welcome! I kind of forget that anime/manga fan terminology is opaque. ~~ani.social did this to me.~~

TIL chuuni!

[chuuni mode] WAHAHA! By being open to the depths of weaboo culture, you unlocked your evil eye and you're now able to appraise its arcane terminology! [/chuuni mode]

Serious now. As I was looking for a good/succinct definition of chuuni, I found this Wikipedia article, with a great example of a Western chuuni: Don Quixote. Like, he's considerably older than you'd expect from a chuuni, but it's the same sort of delusion as them!

That's the same link as you posted earlier, but I already know who you're talking about and totally get it!

That's what happens when you post sleep-deprived... thanks for pointing out.

1) Be nice and; have fun

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.
