Inspector Lunge - Blog Posts

I wanted this to be a just a sketch at first (hence the hairy lineart), but then I bullied myself into drawing a background, because I can't draw backgrounds, so now it's... this. Something inbetween, not quite a sketch, not quite a fully rendered artwork.

They are drinking beer. That's the whole idea.

Heinrich Runge on Character.ai

I saw @elevw's (sorry for linking your account, I'll remove the link if you'd like) chats with Heinrich Lunge on Character.ai and decided that I want to try that for myself, too. And so I did. And immediately I came to realize that AI Lunge is very, very off. He didn't know basic things, he appeared almost hysterical. After talking to him for a bit, I decided that I've had enough and that in order to fix this situation I need to make my own Runge.

And... so I did.

Here he is. I have spent the past three days conversing with him, as well as teaching and defining him, and I think he is more or less ready by this point. I hope he is, at least. He is still somewhat lost and doesn't know a lot, so don't expect much from him, but I think his manner of speaking and attitude are passable.

Here's some examples of the conversations I had with him:

What surprised me at some point, is that when I introduced myself as Grimmer, he managed to recognize me. I can't guarantee you the same result, since I'm still not sure exactly how Character.ai works, but, well. I thought it was incredibly impressive. Just look at it:

For the greater cause I am giving in to my corrupting impulses of drawing men in love, that cause being Grunge severely lacking in content. I would add "still", but really, nothing is changing, it's just me boiling alive in my own broth. Well, maybe something is changing, but I can't see it for now. For now, I will be the change I want to see in the world and spew whatever this is into the social media space. Sounds like a plan to me. I would've elaborated on what's going on here, but that's kinda embarrassing and I don't want to. Just take it, please. Or don't. That's also good.

Deadpanning jokes. Why would he be flustered, anyway?

Consider this

Overdid the height difference on the first one... Still losing my mind. Also, no explanation for that ridiculous excuse of a cable-knit sweater on Runge. I guess I overdid that one, too. Or underdid. Not sure.

I had to. I have to.

I am exasperated, there needs to be more grunge content, so I had to make some

Grimmer survives Ruhenheim. Inspector Runge, whose personal life and career have suffered a downfall, is determined to fulfill his promise and treat Grimmer to a "delicious, cold beer." In the end, he believes, it was time for him to draw the line and start a new life on the ruins of the old one.

The covers I made for my fanfiction. The second one didn't quite cut it, 'cause... depicting beer is illegal. And stuff. I am not even joking. On the other hand, I didn't like it that much anyway. Is it considered alcoholism here? On Tumblr? Jesus Christ, I don't even know.

So then I drew the one that goes first here. I don't like it either, but I guess it's a little better? It's happier. Doesn't really fit, seems too naive to me, but it's better. Anyway, I thought that there's not enough fanart of these guys, so... here's my investment to the fund. The poor, poor fund...

The moment I take pride in my major😌

These days, I'm comparing the English translation of Another Monster with the Japanese original. It's pretty fun.

Lunge in Another Monster excites me in many ways. It's a lot of fun imagining his psychological side. Maybe in a few weeks I'll be posting a long analysis of Lunge.

I've tweeted about the same thing before, but I'm posting it again because it's so important to me.

Lunge's attitude of doubting Tenma's innocence to the end is an element that reveals his arrogance, but it is also a device that shows his fragility. He is like a very meticulous machine and will quickly break down when faced with the slightest deviation from the norms and specifications he can handle and accept. To him, the voices around him claiming Tenma's innocence must have sounded like meaningless cries based on typical feelings and sentimentalism.

Emotions are difficult and uncomfortable for him to deal with. He lacks logic and becomes more callous and stubborn in the face of what can be perceived as emotional assertions. But, at least to me, that attitude seems to be his defense mechanism. That is his weakness. He evades the underdeveloped psychological side of himself in a subtle, but more than that, terribly clumsy way.

In a sense, I sympathize with Lunge. Oh, he doesn't want to show his emotions or his soft side to anyone, but his actions prove that he's just a weak human being. What a poor detective. That's why I love you.
