The Cartoon Trend on Facebook

"Change your Facebook profile picture to a cartoon from your childhood and
invite your friends to do the same. Until Monday (Dec.6) there should
be no human faces on Facebook, but an invasion of memories. This is for
violence against children."
This was the famous Facebook status last week. As a big fan of cartoons, I was so thrilled to change my profile pic to my favorite cartoon character after reading this Facebook status. I have so many favorite cartoon characters that I decided to use one or two per day, for the week. Here are the ones I used:

On Wednesday- Hiei of Yuyu Hakusho also known as Vincent of Ghost Fighter here in the Philippines. He’s my ultimate anime crush. I just love everything about him: his powers (Black Dragon Spirit is my favorite among his other powers.), his ninja-like speed, his being “emo” (he has the right to be one since life has been so cruel to him), his spiky black hair with white highlights and his cuteness. If you’re a fan of Yuyu Hakusho you know that this half-human half- demon is so much more popular than the protagonist – Yusuke/Eugene. Why? Because he’s amazing.



Thursday- Scorpion of Mortal Kombat. His costume reminds me of Philippine Islands Assassin’s on Showtime’s grand finals! You know how crazy I am about that dance group!



Friday- Tails of Sonic the Hedgehog. He's the cutest thing on that cartoon I want to bite him!



Saturday (4:15 am)- I.R. Baboon of I am Weasel. He’s my favorite character on that cartoon! He’s so funny!



5:01 pm- Karasu. He’s my favorite villain on Yuyu Hakusho. He’s so handsome! I love his long raven hair. Rawr.




Sunday (8:59 am)- 2 Stupid Dogs. They’re the funniest and cutest dogs I’ve ever seen!



8:18 pm- Sakyou/Mr. Valdez. Again, from Yuyu Hakusho. That anime has a lot of great and memorable characters, doesn't it? I like him because:
1.he saves Shizuru (the sister of Kazuma, Yusuke’s best friend) from the demons in the arena of the Dark Tournament (the first deadly tournament Yusuke and his friends joined in) even though he shouldn't because he's a villain and he should be bad all the time! Wahaha! When I was a kid I dreamt of him having a romantic relationship with Shizuru. Aww, ain’t that sweet?
2. he looks like Karasu.
3. he’s utterly underrated. Apparently, no one on Facebook used his picture.



Monday, finally - L of Deathnote. Obviously he’s not a cartoon character from my childhood since Deathnote was aired on TV in 2006. But I used his picture because he’s so irresistible! I love his physical appearance and mind. He’s definitely the cutest and most brilliant detective in anime world!



Well, that’s about it. I hope after this cartoon trend on Facebook there would no longer be any form of child abuse (physical abuse at home, child labor, child trafficking, etc.). It has been such a fun and meaningful trend. <3
