Someone who looks intimidating at first glance but when you get to know them, they are pretty darn friendly. Basically a gap between a person's outer appearance and their personality.

Basically when a person's appearance or perceived personality does not match their actual personalities or taste in things. For example, a very huge, buff guy liking Sanrio or something. Of course there's nothing weird about that! But kinda unexpected right? That gap in looks and their likes/personality is gap moe! Hence why people find that unexpected side cute.
Lol I don't mind the notifs it's totally fine pls keep recommending more~~
It's definitely cute tho~ does it still count if a for example when a usually happy go lucky charac turns out to be cold n quiet charac?
No. It would just be called Gap if that was the case. Moe is a used to refer to "cute" things! So "gap moe" means the gap between a person's appearance and personality is cute!
I see! Thank u for the info!
You're welcome! Happy I could help
Those were all I had for now. I hope you enjoy them! 'mr. villain's day off' is definitely on top of my list for gap moe though :))
