TIKTOK TYPES AS HUMANS
Introduction
In the ever-evolving landscape of TikTok, various genres have emerged, each with its distinct flavor and community. Recently, the idea of transforming TikTok genres into characters captured my imagination, and I set out to visualize several popular trends as human embodiments. Get ready to meet these vibrant and engaging characters inspired by TikTok's most defining genres!
1. Water Talk Character
Water Talk burst onto the scene with users concocting colorful, flavored beverages that resembled potions. Enthusiasts would mix a variety of powder drink packets to create super sweet, eye-catching concoctions, often igniting debates about whether these creations could still be labeled as "water." Critics have raised concerns about diet culture and the high energy of these videos.
For the character design, I envisioned a lively young woman with a flair for the dramatic, embodying the vibrancy of the drinks she creates. Imagine a kaleidoscope of colors, edible glitter, and whimsical accessories like Skittle clips in her hair. She carries powder packets like a potion master, and her exuberance suggests she'd be the life of any party, collecting flavors and sharing recipes.
2. Book Talk Character
A haven for book lovers, Book Talk has blossomed into a community that celebrates reading, particularly via the romance and fantasy genres. While some criticism exists about overconsumption and the prevalence of tropes, this subculture has also provided a platform for indie authors and diverse genres.
I envisioned the Book Talk character as a romantic soul who is perpetually buried under piles of books. To symbolize her literary passion, one iris features a heart, while the other has "ABC" for her insatiable thirst for knowledge. Sporting a hairstyle inspired by an open book, she embodies the joy of reading, coupled with a cheerful demeanor that reflects her love for stories.
3. Thirst Trap Cooking Character
In a wild fusion of cooking and allure, the thirst trap cooking videos have taken TikTok by storm. These videos often blend sultry visuals with culinary preparation, creating a unique and somewhat humorous subgenre that calls to mind the antics of Shokugeki no Soma (Food Wars).
My character for this genre is a cheeky chef, proudly flaunting their culinary skills while cheekily skirting health codes. With an 'apron only' approach, they might ruffle a few feathers in the kitchen, yet their talent keeps them on the Michelin star track. Their brashness embodies the exaggerated energy of this genre, creating a character both amusing and audacious.
4. Street Interview Character
The spirit of spontaneous conversations, street interviews on TikTok evoke both humor and surprise. Often led by charismatic hosts asking outlandish questions, these videos blur the line between genuine interaction and scripted comedy.
This character, a boisterous crowd-pleaser, is constantly seeking attention with a penchant for the extraordinary. They embody excitement and spontaneity, making them a notable contrast to the introverted Book Talk character. If they ever found themselves in a romantic comedy setup, it would be a classic enemies-to-lovers scenario — an enticing twist amidst their contrasting personalities.
