Part 1.
As i thought of what in my life i could count as "cute" i really really struggled. I don't think it is because i have evolved beyond the appeal of cuteness, i just don't have anything significant enough that i could attribute it to being meaningful. It is possible that due to my courses/personal interests/ relationships that i don't have time to indulge in "cuteness." Or it is possible that because of those things i am suffering and need a bit of cuteness in my life. The writers might argue that since i am more adult that not giving in to the cuteness is less infantile? i don't know, but here's a cute picture of a puppy i found on google.
Part 2.
This is a photo of someone's collection of nintendo-ish stuffed animals. I chose this because regardless of the true character's size, all of them are shrunk down to fit the standard of a cute stuffed thing. Some of the characters portrayed aren't even cute, id argue, but when you bring them down to the same size and make their eyes huge and bodies tiny, its hard to say they aren't cute. For example, that yellow thing on the right side is a Pokemon that puts you to sleep and eats your dreams out of your nose. Not too cute. By shrinking these figures and making them infantile, it creates a cuteness atmosphere that, regardless of its falsehood, draws attention.
