Tank you from the horny blue tiefling crew 😇

I want to throw some doodles together to thank people for following, it wasn't too long ago i was p much stagnated at 14 followers for a long time, and I appreciate the hell out of those 14 followers but I'm not used to getting this many notes on the stuff I post. That said, I'm a working adult and don't have enough hours in the day to do too big of a giveaway, so here's some rules:

3 slots available

Have to be a follower

Enter by reblogging, share the character you want drawn with me in that reblog. If you have reference pictures, brilliant, but if not then just tell me who they are and a lil about them and we can talk in private about design if it comes to it. (If you are providing references but also want to take the opportunity to gush about your character, be my guest, I want to read it)

I'll use https://wheelofnames.com/ Saturday night (23:00 BST) to choose 3

Requested art can be SFW or NSFW, up to yourselves. This is my NSFW blog after all.

First off we have this distinguished older fella, Quigelu Finior, a sort of seemingly well meaning business man who always makes good on any deal he offers, while expecting little in return. In My D&D world I run with a lot of my characters as NPCs, he is the physical embodiment of the inevitable end that befell the world before it reset anew. I could see a doodle of him filled with a sort of ominous air offering a deal to someone. While he expects little, if a deal he offers is broken by the other party... well, lets just say they don't have much time to enjoy what they took from him.

Next would be his daughter, Heamia Finior, She has many names, The Witch of blood, Merchant to the Lost, The Terror of the Ancients, and none are without their story. But, as far as the common man is concerned, she just runs a company that produces peculiarly good tea. A doodle of her would probably be nsfw, the dominating vibes she gives off are very intentional, and she will step on you if she feels you have earned the right.

QUESTIONS FOR CREATORS

If you can't wrap your head around a walrus getting to your door, it could be a llama. Or an ostrich. Or a moose. Or any other large herbivorous mammal. It doesn't even have to be an animal! What if you opened your door and there was an MRI machine on the doorstep. Or a harpsichord. Or a single giant teacup from the teacup ride at Disney World. It's big, it's weird, it shouldn't be there, but it is a mundane object that, in another context, would make perfect sense.

It's a thought experiment, and what it's really trying to get at is the power of narrative framework. Why is a mundane object which we have no narrative reference for, no way of anticipating what will follow, more emotionally affecting for us than the appearance of something that contravenes our entire understanding of the world, but which we have been well prepared by fiction to understand, for which we have a narrative framework.

The reason why people think that the walrus is more surprising is its walrusness! It's the specificities of a walrus, a nigh-imovable object that doesn't live here and has stupid little tusks and doesn't fit into an elevator and has just enough agency to resist a person moving it but not enough to want to be there, that makes it surprising. There's an MRI machine 10 minutes away from my flat. The nearest walrus is hundreds of kilometres away.

No, your door doesn’t matter. “You open the door to see whatever” isn’t actually necessary for the question. It’s just an easy way to say, in this scenario you are in a situation where you are not expecting anything unusual to happen, when a fairy/walrus appears.

The thing is most of that is post hoc justification. I’m trying to explain that the walrus would be surprising anyway, even if you lived in a one story house and later learned the walrus had been carefully transported and deposited there to prank you by trained walrus wrangling professionals. A walrus isn’t intrinsically surprising. Go to the right beach and you’ll find a ton of them. It’s surprising because it’s an animal generally only seen in a specific context, removed from that context and plopped down in a place where you generally expect things to be familiar.

There’s also the fact that the walrus is surprising as a poll option as well! Tumblr is also not the usual context for a walrus. The poll option itself is more surprising than the fairy option.

I agree though, there is specific charm in it being a walrus, I just want to engage with the deeper question and people are so distracted by the logistics of the walrus that they aren’t digging any deeper.

It is fundamentally absurd to be more surprised by a mundane animal in an unlikely location, than a completely impossible fantasy creature. And yet! People are genuinely more surprised by the walrus! I just want to dig into the real why of it.

If you walked into your front yard, would you be more surprised to see Superman mowing your lawn, or a Belgian draft horse on your roof?

If you opened your fridge, would you be more surprised to see a magic crystal full of howling spirits, or a rod of depleted uranium?

Would you be more surprised by the appearance of something unreal but familiar, or something real but unfamiliar?

Now ask why! Forget the how, it doesn’t matter! No matter how convoluted or contrived, it is still possible for a walrus to end up on your doorstep! “I live in an apartment building!” They knocked down a wall and brought it in by crane! “There are no walruses on this continent!” Zoos exist! And people who transport animals professionally! It will never be *more* probable for fairies to exist than for a walrus to get somewhere walruses usually don’t go.
