DOC - HE/IT/THIS ONE - 24 - Transformers enjoyer, Towers enjoyer, artist, jack of all trades. I'm neurodivergent and disabled so please bear with me. Profile banner drawn by me, of my oc Hedron! Message and ask box always open. https://cablestwisted.carrd.co/
I'm Doc - a jack-of-all-trades craftsperson, artist, costume maker, and occasionally writer from the UK. I'm a trans man and use he/him, it/its, and this one/that one pronouns.
My writing can be found on this blog @marmaliser and here. My art can be found here: @cabledcreature
Please read this post before following or messaging me!
My current and long-standing special interest is Transformers, and I post about that, Alton Towers, and my many other interests a lot. On here I'm most known for lore analysis and theory posts, but on other platforms I'm known mainly for my art, fashion, cosplays, and videos! Hoping to get more art up on here asap.
Please don't take heavy reference from, trace, or otherwise copy my artwork without permission!
Click "Keep Reading" for warnings, guidelines of interaction, information on asks, links, and my tagging system:
-------
Warnings:
Under 16s - be aware that I'm an adult. Please do not DM me, ask to be mutuals, tag me in things, etcetera, but you can send asks/interact with my blog with reblogs, likes, and comments. Please do not spam comments!
I write horror based and generally dark content thus if you're sensitive to that you may find that this is not the blog for you. My art can also focus on these topics!
I am disabled! Please be patient with me.
BLANK BLOGS! Please add some posts to your blog or reblog something to indicate that you are not a bot before following me, or you may be blocked.

Guidelines of interaction:
In this space we respect people of all ethnicities, spiritual beliefs, genders, & sexualities. We support low income & working class individuals, disabled people, queer people, immigrants, sex workers, neurodiversity, & abortion rights. We fight for equity, justice, an inclusive & accessible future - we prioritise consent, respect, community, & safety.
Discrimination and bullying will NOT be tolerated here.
ACAB. No Nazis, Tories, TERFs, or Exclusionists. No pedophiles or zoophiles. No anti-vaxers, no anti-maskers. Respect asexuals and polyamorous people or leave.
If you are anti kink, anti nsfw, or support bans on sexual/kink content, activity, and shops - even though this space is SFW I do ask that you leave. Remember - bans & restrictions on this kind of thing disproportionately affect marginalised individuals and censor queer voices, and infringe on everyone's autonomy. Discrimination against kinksters is very real, look into Operation Spanner and many other cases like it.
Also if you don't like furries, therians, & otherkin, you might be in the wrong place.
---------
Asks/Inbox and Lore Archiving:
My asks are ALWAYS open but be aware that it may take me a while to respond!
I used to write lore rambles off asks a lot, but rarely do now - I'm never sure what people want to know and asks show me what people are interested in knowing/give me a jump-off point for lore analysis. So if you're interested in anything to do with the lore of Transformers [Aligned Continuity novels especially], Alton Towers, or just anything about either, feel free to ask me questions via the ask box anytime.
Everything expressed in this regard is personal opinion based on my own investigations. I am not an authority on the backstories of anything I like unless its something I made myself. TL;DR - take what I say with a pinch of salt. Ideally a handful of salt.
Alton Towers lore posts are always archived at @marmaliser so if you want to just read through my ATR lore posts, give it a follow!

Gift art and theory referencing:
Please please ask if it's ok before drawing my OCs or including my OCs in fanworks, and especially before drawing or writing about my OCs with other people/other people's OCs! I really appreciate and welcome people to draw my guys but they're all incredibly personal characters to me and in many ways are a part of my brain.
In a similar vein, please don't make characters with heavy inspiration from or based on my characters, it makes me highly uncomfortable! Please don't make OCs based on or heavily inspired by me at all - if you have any questions please feel free to ask.
If you reference my theories in your own theories/fanfics/etcetera, please tag me, I'd absolutely love to see what you come up with!
-------
Tagging System and Notification Disclaimer:
I try to tag interests and generic triggers but operate on an ask to tag basis, meaning that if you need something tagging, please just let me know via the ask box!
I'll try my best to remember to tag things but sometimes things slip through - just send me a gentle reminder through DM or my ask box so I can get back to you. I have memory problems, so sometimes things get missed.
Please remember that I have my tumblr notifications off, so sometimes I miss things even though tags and asks are meant to email me.

Can everyone who makes video content do a Deaf bitch a favor? Watch your shit with the captions on and the sound off, and then do another round of editing to fix things including but not limited to:
Captions cover the spot on the screen you put the information I need
The dialogue is captioned but not the song you have playing that the dialogue is responding to
You only captioned the person on the screen, not the person off screen who is also talking
No captioning of critical sound effects (alarms, bells, dogs barking, etc)
Speakers are not labelled at moments where it is not clear on the screen who is talking.
Captions cover the spot on the screen that you put the information I need!
Other d/Deaf people welcome to add.
This post brought to you by the fifth video tutorial I could not follow because the bad, auto-generated captions covered what I was trying to watch today.
Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.
At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.
Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”
With the whole "Markiplier making his own DVD copies of Iron Lung to sell" thing, it's been fascinating and slightly concerning how many people seem to genuinely believe that if a physical release isn't coming from a giant corporation, it must automatically be a bootleg.
Look at me.
Look me directly in the eyes while I say this.
You can just make things.
You can simply create something and put it into the world.
That's allowed.
People have been doing it for centuries.
They sell blank VHS tapes. They sell blank DVDs. Blank CDs. You can buy flash drives by the bucketful if you really want to. If you create a movie, an album, a game, a documentary, or a four-hour video essay about the mating habits of fictional space goblins, you are entirely permitted to put that thing on physical media and sell it.
That is not piracy.
Piracy is taking something that belongs to someone else and reproducing or distributing it without permission.
If I buy a DVD of a movie, I own that copy of the movie. I do not own the movie itself. I didn't acquire the rights to duplicate it, press a thousand copies, and start selling them out of my garage like I've become the regional distributor for Warner Bros.
The copyright, distribution rights, and intellectual property still belong to whoever created it or whoever legally acquired those rights.
If I start burning copies of Iron Lung and selling them myself without Markiplier's permission, that's piracy.
If Markiplier, who made and owns the rights to Iron Lung, burns copies and sells them himself, that's just distribution.
He's the rights holder.
He's distributing his own work.
If you made it, if it came from your own mind, your own work, your own time, your own resources, then congratulations. You own the thing. You don't need a corporation to bless it with legitimacy.
The corporation is not what makes it real.
The fact that it exists is what makes it real.
I think we've accidentally spent so many years living inside a world dominated by mass-produced media that some people have developed the strange assumption that all media emerges from a factory somewhere. As if films naturally occur in shrink-wrapped plastic cases and descend from the heavens aboard a pallet truck.
But independent artists have been burning discs, dubbing tapes, printing books, pressing records, and mailing things directly to people for longer than many of us have been alive.

back in the day you could write about the most sickeningly vile atrocious war crimes happening to your blorbo and everyone was like. kyaaaaaaaa >w<. they just got it. they understood
The thing is you can have a grassy lawn or even a golf course without it being an ecological disaster, you just have to a: be cool about having the occasional non-grass plant in the mix and b: be willing to live in a climate that supports grass without irrigation.
I always thought that golf as a sport should be adapted to the local native landscape. I think this will encourage regional pride when local golfers completely trounce visitors at Swamp Golf, Desert Golf, Forest Golf, etc. Rich tourists will be pressured to travel extensively to experience all forms of golf, instead of staying in their backyard country club golf courses. Internet discourse will probably somehow get worse but I think this is a small price to pay.

there is actually literally 0 reason you can justify for not having an epileptic safe version unless you are making a very specific kind of thing. epileptics deserve to enjoy the art you make
Boo hoo i'll be able to add more physical storage to my phone and be able to change out batteries if they degrade as well as all these other optional features I won't have to touch
I love how they add totally absurd things no one is asking for to make the idea look crazy. And still, I must emphasize, failing to make this look like a bad idea.
"Is this what you want? Is this ugly stupid bullcrap what you want??" the biggest loudest idiot in the room asks, holding up a picture of the hottest looking shit I've ever seen
A frustrating part of the mainstream vegan “love all animals and protect the environment” mindset is the fact that things need to die in real-life ecology all the time but deer hunting season makes icky feelings and carp culls aren’t cottagecore
The vegan “any animal death ever is morally wrong” mindset doesn’t hold up when:
We don’t have any of the large predators we used to (black bears, mountain lions, or gray wolves) but still retain large deer populations. If nothing is removing animals, they’ll quickly overload the carrying capacity of the environment and have massive losses to starvation and disease that can also pass on to livestock. Human hunters replace the large predators that our landscape can no longer support.
It’s kinder to euthanize an un-releasable hawk rather than try to find it a permanent home with humans. Wildlife rehabs have extremely limited space and resources and are usually run entirely on donated money and volunteer time. Only a few are large and stable enough to care for permanent residents long-term, and those spots are few and far between.
An invasive species poses a danger to threatened native wildlife. I will admit- Australian possums are adorable. But not in New Zealand, where they’re an invasive species that eats the eggs of ground-dwelling birds that previously had no such predators. The landowners I worked with replanting native bush, all native Maori, had no qualms about setting the dogs on them.
I don’t know how to end this except. Sometimes things just gotta die and acting otherwise just isn’t a realistic expectation.
Highlights from the notes over the past 6 months include a lot of angry vegans saying “you’re blowing things out of proportion, no vegans actually think like this!” and a lot of people who work in conservation and education saying “Every day. I have to fight people who think like this.”
As a bonus this post was originally inspired by the vegan who called me racist for saying we should kill invasive species

Saving this post to show my boss who I told the AI flier makes us look lazy and ignorant, and offered to hand draw one. She still printed tons of ai fliers and I'm tempted to make a better one just because it annoys me so much.
