Poor Chastity, she fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well known is never get into a bikini fight during a blizzard.

Unfortunately she didn’t realize her folly until it was too late and now she’s frozen and in trying to move she almost snapped herself in half.

She wants to win the Escher Girls Triple Crown (boobs, butt and crotch) so bad she’s willing to brave frostbite to do it.  A true competitor.

Vampi is understandably annoyed for having to rush out and save somebody before she’s fully dressed and could put on pants.  Not too happy about being photographed in a boobs and butt pose either.

I was watching a friend play Dragon Star Varnir the other day and we got to the part where Minessa is showing the protag-stu how to fly (as he is, of course, the only male witch everrrrrr) and the cutscene image of her flying is… a boobs and butt pose but also an upskirt and also… I guess witches don’t wear underwear?  Or they wear very tiny thongs.

To paraphrase The Bowler from Mystery Men: maybe you should put on some shorts or something if you want to keep flying over people’s heads.

Also there’s probably some sort of discomfort going commando and riding a broomstick.

I think she’s going undercover as a chess piece.  A very effective disguise.

Lady Death looks suitably annoyed at you for barging in on her while she wasn’t finished dressing and shapeshifting into like a giant worm or something.

I assume in this fantasy world, any woman archer that does not do a butt thrust out sexy pose before shooting is executed.

This is a VERY subtle Escher Girls cover, and I didn’t notice until I got my physical copy.  At first glance, it seems perfectly normal, hardly anything that could be considered reality-breaking.

But take a closer look at the cover girl’s neckline.

Its as if the artist was told to “fit both breasts in no matter what”, and followed through.  If the rightmost breast was relocated or removed, it would be anatomically accurate.

A girl truly worthy of the “Escher Girls” name since it is very optical illusion-y.  I was actually reading your submission on my phone as I was walking into another room and at first I was like “this looks kinda nitpic-” then I stopped as I pinch-zoomed the photo and was like “oh yeah… no you’re completely right."  Her breasts are just… shifted to one side according to her collarbones.  Maybe that’s just the rules of the world she got isekai-ed to?

This is by the way the perfect example of a "boobflounder” which is when the breasts are drawn on one side of the body like a flounder’s eyes (just cuz I know some people have asked about the term).
