Friendly Neighbourhood Dork

Hello everyone, this is my first post, I suppose this can be considered by introduction.

I'm extremely new to tumblr, so I'm still learning all the ins and outs here.

The reason why I created a tumblr account is because I would like to say I'm a creative person. I want to share my drawings and the worlds I created.

Typically I sketch and draw, digital art is something I want to eventually learn to do, but for now I stick to physical art work.

Some of my interests include:

History

Minecraft

Alternate History

Cartoons

Some superhero media

Drawing (that goes without saying honestly)

Writing (again, goes without saying)

I look forward to my time here, I hope that I create fun memories here.

Or even just their suggestive posts.

Those tags exist for a reason.

I am a sex repulsed aromantic asexual, I don’t want to see sexual posts on my dash.

I have blocked tags for certain nsfw topics for a reason.

And yet, it still pops up on my dash sometimes.

Why is it so hard to tag your shit properly?

And I’m not even saying that nsfw posts can’t exist, they can, absolutely.

I just don’t want to see them.

That’s not puritanism or sex negativity.

I just want to have my boundaries to actually work.

My nieces also made me these lovely cards

You know how in The Simpsons there’s parodies of brands and media and even celebrities sometimes?

That’s what I enjoy creating.

In one of my more grounded settings that’s basically a slice-of-life/sitcom genre story I am working on creating unique brands for the setting.

I just feel like it makes the setting more alive and lived, you can have great moments where characters can get into arguments and debated about brands.

Like how there’s coke vs pepsi and how people have strong opinions on soda, you can use your fictional brands to show what characters preferences are.

It’s also great for showing a settings culture.

One example of a fictional brand that I have developed is a fast food place that sells chicken.

I’ve called it Sir Cluck, their main mascot is a chicken in knight armour.

Tell me that you wouldn’t want to eat at a place like that.

And imagine the puns they can have on their food.

Lance Drum Box.

Crown Jewel Nuggets.

Their kids meal can be called a Squire Box.

They can have a giant burger that’s called a castle tower or something like that.

And there can even be smaller mascots, imagine a small round yellow chick as a squire, and they have a massive lance.

I haven’t fully developed the full potential of this idea admittedly, but that’s the fun part, the process of creating and coming up with it all.

I even have this idea for a comic book universe for this setting that my two characters that are comic book nerds who can argue and discuss superheroes and continuity and arcs and whether some runs damaged the images of their favourite character. A cinematic universe can exist too and there’s definitely going to be comparisons to the comics and if they’re good adaptations or not. I have concepts for superheroes and a name for the comic book company, I’m not totally happy with the name though. I’ve called it Tremendous Comics, like I said, I’m not 100% pleased with the name so it’s more a placeholder name.

If anyone has any suggestions please leave share if you’re comfortable.

I decided to draw the pride progress flag. I know it’s not perfect, but I wanted to share it regardless. I hope all queer people (all marginalised people really) get to have freedom, love and safety one day.

Honestly, I should not have engaged with this post, I just didn’t realise that this poster wasn’t going to act in good faith. I should have realised that with their insinuation that asexuals are sex negative prudes. It’s a pretty common belief among acephobes that should have ticked me off.

But interact I did, I left this as a comment under:

Perhaps I could have phrased it better admittedly, but I felt like it covered a basic correction of what ‘political asexuals’ actually want. I left it at that and went on with my day, later on I checked tumblr and I got a response from them:

Yeah, so this person is just an asshole, their post wasn’t an attempt to try and understand ace issues. I didn’t attempt to engage further, as tempting as it was to retort them, I also realised that any example I would give of how society pressures others into having sex it wouldn’t have made a difference.

They said it themselves, they don’t care about acephobia, people like me just have to suck it up.

Now, why did I make this post?

Simply put, I wanted to highlight that aphobia, acephobia is still a thing that exists. This is a pretty mild case of acephobia, but I still feel like it should be called out for what it is. Bigotry. Trying to brush off acephobia is the exact same as brushing other instances of queerphobia.

-Pronouns: He/Him

-Orientation: Heterosexual

-Background: Born as a mage Nelson had the natural ability to wield the power of the Ley Lines. Using his magic, Nelson was given a rare opportunity to study and hone his skill at the nation’s elite Institutions, namely The Wickholm Academy. This opportunity was spearheaded by a reformist aristocrat named Ambrose Radcliffe, Ambrose’s goal with becoming Nelson’s patron was that more opportunities for education would be offered to lower class citizens. This however wouldn’t come to pass, many of the faculty and students at Wickholm despised Nelson due to his background of being lower class. The standards for Nelson were much higher for him; thus while all the other students were allowed to be mediocre, Nelson had to be perfect to stay. Nelson did however manage to graduate as a top student. Upon graduation Nelson returned back to his community and refused to work with the upper echelons of a society that held him in scorn. So while many mages went to work for the government or for aristocrats, Nelson offered his services to those who couldn’t afford access to expensive state or private mages. Nelson’s experience at Wickholm shaped him into a man that hated the systems of power and would join the New Republicanist Union to help them in their goal to reshape the nation.

The one thing Earnest has felt he has control over is his **honesty**; he feels that by being truthful and authentic then he can resist the controlling influence of his uncle, thus Earnest has sworn off lying all together so that he can be as true to himself as he can possibly be. While somewhat content to be idol, and to keep himself in his greenhouse of roses life has a way to take you places you wouldn’t ever imagine going.

Hi there everyone. I thought the image of my character Thabisa sitting with her cat seemed like a sweet image. I also thought that it’d be good practice to draw a cat again.

I decided to practice my hand at drawing nudes.

This is my OC Thabisa, she’s a succubus. I post art of her and another character with her a while ago. I decided to redesign her hair to be more curly. I think it came out well but any constructive criticism is welcome.

The reason I drew her naked is because I wanted to try drawing her nude in a way that wasn’t sexualised. Nudity is way too sexualised in my opinion. Bodies can just be bodies, and even though I might personally prefer clothes the choice to be naked as comfort shouldn’t be stigmatised.

And her culture has a pretty relaxed view on bodies, so people where she’s from aren’t stigmatised for being naked if they want to. This means she’s pretty comfortable with her body, she does enjoy fashion but she does like being naked sometimes too. Depends on her mood and the circumstances.

I have a lot more lore of her and other characters from my stories that I’ll be posting eventually in the coming days if I have time.

Oh, and before I forget, I want to thank @powerscasualart for letting me use some of their work as inspiration/reference for this art piece. I’m beyond grateful for their permission to let me use their art for this piece.

This is my original character Madison (Maddy) Pinehurst. She’s a young teen and witch who lived in a lighthouse with her mentor. Maddy is one of the characters from a story concept I’m working on, it’s in the very rough stages of developing.

The type of witch she is called is a Tome Caster. Basically she has this magic book known as a tome. She reads a spell from the tome and the spell is released from the book.

An example of how it works is a spell where she can cast a light spell. She’d read the spell and the actual words lift off the page and turn into a light source. Blank pages are created in their place, this means that the spell can’t be recast until the words return to the page.
