I welcome you...

Hello, my quest. I am Basil Hawkins. Feel free to ask me anything you'd like. One Piece Basil Hawkins ask blog. Ask Box: Open M!A: none

Important!!!

//Sorry guys, you were probably expecting an ask or another doodle, but the thing is, my dog had eaten my tablet pen during the week, which as of now means I will not be able to answer asks for at least another week. I’m working on solving this by possibly getting a whole new tablet (as paying almost 100 euros for a tablet pen is ridiculous) but I’m still debating on what to get and who’ll help me with buying one. So in conclusion, I’ll be on a temporary hiatus until this is solved. Thank you for your patience guys!

PSA Start!

//Hi guys! Sorry for interrupting your scheduled ask blogging and general tumblr shenanigans but I have a tiny tiny announcement to make!

I started school last week and I’m going to be living in the dorms of said school, and I unfortunately do not at this exact moment own a laptop. I have a tablet that I can try and reply with (?) but I’m still trying to figure out how to work it and all that, so for the time being I’ll only be able to answer asks on weekends and whatever odd days I’m at home.

Don’t worry though! I should be able to get a laptop this Christmas! (if not I’ll probably try and work during my vacations or something)

That’s all, PSA over, go back to your scheduled ask blogging and general tumblr shenanigans. See you on the weekend!

hey so genderbends are inherently transphobic not that ask blogs seem to mind but jsyk

((In reference to @askwardenmagellan, yeah? Thank you for reaching out!

((I am in no way trying to perpetrate violence or bigotry against the trans community; the M!A is treated as a strictly physical change, which is demonstrated in the original ask by Fletcher referring to the Warden as “sir”.

((But I understand that intent is not always the same as impact! If this is a topic that is uncomfortable or unsettling, please feel free to get in touch with me directly and let me know how I can tackle the issue in a way that makes everyone feel welcome. Maybe referring to the M!A as a sexswap instead of a genderbend would be more appropriate?

((If anyone has any additional input, please let me know what you think! Since I’m not trans myself, I don’t feel it’s my place to say what’s transphobic and what’s not, but I’d love to maintain an open discussion about any concerns in the askblog community regardless of the topic.

((The following is not directed to @ask-marine-pr, but to Anon and people like the Anon.))

((…………..Oh fantastic, it begins after the FIRST question. I am not even trying to bother arguing about this shit, because from what I’ve seen these kind of people won’t listen to me anyways. I find the idea of genderbends being trans or non-binary erasure to be ridiculous and even have seen trans persons saying that.

I DO NOT hate Transpeople or have anything against them. I really don’t. BUT, I damn sure hate the ‘‘You can’t draw X because it is Y Phobic because I say so, regardless what others say.’‘ logic. I am fucking sick and tired of people telling others what they should or shouldn’t draw because it’s ‘‘X Phobic’‘ or ‘‘Problematic.’‘ I really am.

All I wanna say is, I WON’T let anyone stop me from drawing what I want, nor will I let anyone guilttrip me or drive me into an another panic attack.   Genderbends have existed for far longer than the current SJW movement on the internet, and no-one was bitching about them (to my knowledge) before they came along.

And if you are so oversensitive that you let something as harmless as artwork of a FICTIONAL character mess up your life, then that is your problem.

But don’t bully or harrass artists and askblogs. If you think it is okay to make artists and askblogs feel bad about their art because of this….go fuck yourself. Seriously. If you don’t like genderbends, for any reason whatsoever….blocking and blacklisting exists for a reason ya know.

Anyone messaging me with ‘’Transphobia’’ will get an instand and perma block and I will turn off anon if it happens via anon. Unfollow, block and blacklist, thanks.))

((Hi guys! Sorry for the interruption of your usual askblogging, but for many reasons (including personal) I feel the need to address this ‘Genderswap/Sexswap is transphobic’ issue.

I myself am a transgender man. And I’ve seen this issue pop-up again and again, people harassing artists for doing this. Which is first of all, not how you solve a problem and second of all really silly.

Genderswap, like stated above, is only a physical change, it has nothing to do with the actual gender of the person, unless it’s an au, in which case it’s still not a valid argument to say it’s transphobic. There’s a reason why it’s called ‘Alternate Universe’. Things are different, and people’s genders can be different.

Also, it can also be a good thing for transgender people! In fact, I’ve seen a lot of people use this method to explain what being transgender feels like! I myself explained it to my grandmother by using this method. Telling someone that being transgender is like if they woke up one day as the opposite sex and everyone would treat them like they were that gender no matter what they said is an excellent way to make people understand what it feels like.

Like @askwardenmagellan said, these are fictional characters in fictional universes. Shit like this has always been used in fan-fiction and no one had a problem with it before.

Of course, it’s always good to discuss things in a civil manner, but usually this stuff escalates to harassing really fast, and at that point you’ve lost all your credibility on this matter. Harassment isn’t going to make anyone listen to your point.

And once again, like said above, if this truly makes you uncomfortable for some reason, the block and blacklist functions are there for a reason. USE THEM!

Though if you have actual good arguments against this, or suggestions on how this could be improved upon or even questions about the matter, send me an ask on my personal @halfdeadartist and I’ll try to help. All will be tagged under #genderswap argument)))

Dang your art looks way better then the last time I saw it! Nice job.

*I say as I show my horrible rushed art

But really, thank you~ I’ve had surprising amount of time to practice in between all my stuff and I’ve taken a habit of sketching everything in a notebook rather than on computer so most stuff comes out better just because of that. Though that picture you saw was slightly rushed at the end, there was a thunderstorm coming and I wanted to finish it before that.

[askthecursedswordsman]

How about you come and ask me questions while I have time in between heists, hmm~? Or maybe you would be interested in a cursed coffee mu-

Hi guys, sorry for the interruption of your activities~

I’m here just to basically inform you guys I’ve finally gotten some down time in the last few months after finals, depression, wedding planning, work and whatever summer shenanigans that have been going on in my life, and I am finally free to continue running this ask blog! And I have also during these months created an OC that I really wanted to do an ask blog for, I’ll later inform you guys of him further.

But otherwise, my ask box is empty and open, I am ready to answer some asks, Basil is back in the manga and ready to answer some asks and I have a new tarot card deck so if someone wants to, I can actually conduct a reading for you (despite it going against pretty much everything I’ve been instructed to do with the cards) so ask away~

//Little late to the party, but hey! I finally remembered my password! Basil here is a Cat’s eye Apatite, though I thought about a lavender Sapphire too. But I wanted to give him a third eye, so we’re stuck with this for now. He doesn’t have stars or triangles on his outfit cause he’s more of a neutral party, probably off somewhere looking for space cats.
