Cute! I especially like how you rendered their eyes!

Eyebrows over bangs is a classic look.

Thank you both!

ENIAC/IAS is doomed because ENIAC can't get past her loathing and IAS-sama can't find it in herself to like her.  Respect her, maybe, but not like her.

BRLESC-tan should win.  Gyaru.

ENIAC/Colossus should also win.  They're both still kind of alive, they can make it happen.

I've had this idea for a long time, but I was too lazy to drew it, until now.

A page of ENIAC yuri for pride ~ :3

From least to most feasible:

ENIAC/IAS: An utterly deranged yet compelling idea Stew put in my head when I commented that ENIAC is unshippable because she has no peers, and Stew volunteered IAS-tan for the task lol. Maybe an enemies-to-lovers thing, while never quite advancing past the enemies part?

ENIAC/BRLESC: This is the first time I've drawn BRLESC, the last "early" computer at the BRL. I see her as being a bit of 60s ditz, wearing a uniform modified to show off her sense of style. The only OG Murrlander of the group, speaks Bawlmerese. ENIAC is her idol and she carries a locket with her photo in it. Even if she likes the attention, ENIAC wouldn't reciprocate for reasons of professional propriety (among other reasons).

ENIAC/Colossus: Probably the only feasible one of the bunch. (In an alternate reality where ENIAC was aware of the existence of and interacted with Colossus.) They both have big and demanding personalities and complicated interior lives and relationships to secrecy and I think they'd be able to actually relax with each other. On a superficial level, ENIAC would be dazzled to meet someone even taller than her, and Colossus would be fascinated by ENIAC's construction.

Right: Watch out, Windows 1.0-tan has a crowbar! and beach Unix-sama, probably a part of a bigger beach sketch I'm going to do.

OS-tan Talk / Re: OS-tan hot takes

Last post by Lily1027 - June 11, 2026, 09:13:01 AM

Oh this is a fun thread!

I like that frutiger aero/y2k-core/etc. has introduced people to OS-tans and other aughts web properties, but I agree that it's unfortunate they've been subsumed by those aesthetics among some newer fans.

My hot take is that I think the idea of OS-tan "canon" is kind of overblown. I think the OG group of OS-tans (95-tan, 98-tan, XP-tan, etc.) are cohesive enough visually and personality-wise to count as distinct characters, but ultimately they are a group of characters designed and popularized by regular people on image boards, not a corporation, not an anime studio, not a published manga. I don't really see what the fundamental difference is between, say, ME-tan and Amiga-tan, besides one having the benefit of being developed on a large board and being popularized among more people, while the other was developed in a smaller community with less reach. But both are basically the result of a labor of love by regular netizens.

I agree too, I always think that it is canon only when those character were developed by the same artist, or when the artist makes it canon etc.

But what I think is, that anyone, can honestly decide which OS-tans they will considers canon.

For example, Madobe Family (Madobe OS-tans) are commonly mixed with the Futaba OS-tans, but canonically they are not related to each other, they are two separate universes. But most people just simply decides if they will mix the Madobe OS-tans with the Futaba OS-tans, or if they will considers them as two separate universes etc.
