About
Among Us Eyes or Amogus Eyes is a fan art trend that involves drawing the eyes of crying anime characters as an Among Us crewmate from the video game Among Us with big shoes. Although examples date back to mid-2022, the trend started to become more popularized at the end of September 2022, primarily on Twitter.
Origin
On June 20th, 2022, Twitter artist himuhino[1] shared a drawing on their secondary Twitter account cursedpairing[2] portraying the character Junko from Touhou Project crying while carrying the character Cub from Happy Tree Friends (shown below). After being uploaded, several users noticed that Junko's eyes looked like an Among Us crewmate, with the image acquiring over 2,000 likes and 500 retweets in three months.
Months later, on September 20th, 2022, Twitter user NenekHani[3] shared a Discord screenshot of himuhino's drawing describing the steps to draw "sad anime eyes" and sharing their own take on the trend, receiving over 288,000 likes and 48,100 retweets in a day (shown below).
Spread
After NenekHani's upload on September 20th, 2022, another Twitter user, KeithMontalbo,[4] uploaded their own take, accumulating over 35,700 likes and 4,550 retweets in less than a day (shown below, left). The next day, Twitter user KeithMontalbo[5] decided to take on the trend and do their own version, receiving over 71,200 likes and 8,100 retweets in just 12 hours (shown below, right).
