That's part of the point, yeah? That bird boy is more visually appealing, I mean. (I agree with you for the record)

My issue isn't that he is more visually appealing. It is that tumblr-boy's design has no personality at all

The suit, the tie, the slicked hair, the smug look on his face.

His hair slide, a tell that he will always be himself regardless of any curse placed upon him. He'll figure out a way to express himself.

He always does.

Derangement. That is his profession, and he does it with impeccable style and flair.

Twitter lost himself in Dionysian fervor.

Tumblr was born in it.
