Quote from: Lily1027 on June 23, 2026, 12:41:54 PMAnd another hot take of mine is, I hate when people says the Merryweather Internet Explorer-tan (and other characters from this series and the whole series) are OS-tans. Those are two separate universes, I mean, I don't mind crossovers or AUs or anythings like that. But I mean it when the context is meant to educate about OS-tans (like wiki or video). It really feels like the person who made it just went to google, found the first image, and told themself "it's humanized ..... so it's OS-tan" and started to find informations about the character even though it's not OS-tan.

I feel like it actually wasn't been never called officially OS-tan comic or anything. But as i've mentioned before, some people just sees something humanized related to technology and immediatelly goes "it's OS-tan".
I always looked at them as "browser-tans" in there own universe. It's Merryweather's own set of browser gijinka OCs. Which when it boils down to it OS-tans are really just gijinka OCs of OSes adopted by everybody.

I got a hot take, Ultima-san is an under-rated Vista-tan. I think a lot of her design speaks well to Vista's UI sensibilities.

I would say that the Merryweather's series are not related to anything OS-tan or anything-tan and that it is its own separate universe. The main character doesn't even use the "tan" suffix and uses "chan". And as far I know, Merryweather never said that the comic is OS-tan or anything with tan related. The "OS-tan" has been used as an umbrella term for things like Browser-tans, App-tans, etc. But what I meant was that I don't think that the Merryweather Internet Explorer comic falls under any of this.

But I think why people considers some universes that are not related to OS-tan OS-tan is because here is honestly no other know fandom that is about humanizing OSes.

And yeah! Ultima-san is underrated! She is one of my favorite Vista-tans. I really like her design, it fits Windows Vista Ultimate so well!  ;D

Completely missed/forgot that this Vis-tan was also called Ultima-san. Always just called her Vis-Tan/Vista-tan.
It's been a while since I've drawn Vis-Tan.
