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.

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!

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.

wtf are you talking about, they didn't "deplete" the nature of their country, they cultivated their wilderness over centuries into some of the most idyllic pastoral landscapes in the entire world. And they did such a good job of it that the phrase "English countryside" is now synonymous with beauty and serenity and peacefulness. They didn't destroy their country's nature, they became its caretaker, they're right to be proud of it. All you're doing is pretending that the only kind of nature that should count is whatever is completely untouched by human hands.
The UK is literally ranked in the bottom 10% of most nature-depleted countries in the world. The 2023 State of Nature report shows just how dire the situation is. A third of UK bird species have declined since the 1990s, 97% of the UK's wildflower meadows have been lost since the 1930s, raw sewage is constantly being pumped into our rivers and seas with agricultural slurry also causing massive damage to rivers, three quarters of Britain's hedgehogs have been lost in the past 20 years and UK butterfly numbers are at their lowest ever, a sign of impending ecosystem collapse. Plus people in Britain are the most disconnected from nature in Europe.
Not to mention over populated deer destroying what little is left due to a lack of predators, 60 million non-native birds released for sport shooting every year, plus huge amounts of wildlife crime, including large numbers of birds of prey being shot/poisoned.
There is nothing beautiful about a sterile, ecologically damaged landscape that contains nothing but sheep and deer. Don't comment on something you clearly know nothing about. I live in England. I can see first hand just how dire the situation is.
"can you be a fan of a video game you havent played" discourse is stupid, because plenty of people who played the game have some of the dumbest fucking takes ive ever seen
Caught Ollie scratching at my laundry basket so now he has his own
So far every time I set it in front of him now he's jumped straight in, no questions asked, and upon further investigation he seems to enjoy being carried in it from room to room
We're at the "JK Rowling is personally funding litigation to try and destroy AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL" stage of rabid UK terf brain.
Screenshot via Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net on bluesky
Tldr Amnesty International, global human rights organisation, published a report called 'A growing threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK'. In it is detailed, amongst others, a whole bunch of transphobic groups and organisations, including Beira's Place, JK Rowling's trans exclusionary sexual violence support service. JK Rowling threw a shit fit and got Amnesty to take the report down by threatening libel. This was obviously not enough, because you can't appease a fascist, so now she's going to bankroll a bunch of lawsuits anyway through the JK Rowling Women's Fund.*
You can read an archived version of the report here, please save it and share it.
*Not so friendly reminder there is no way to engage in the wizard books without enabling this shit.
everyone's afraid of looking busted everyone's afraid of making mistakes everyone's afraid of looking stupid everyone's afraid of embarrassment everyone's afraid of imperfections because of the damn PANOPTICON that is current society and it's fucking STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kids were roleplaying with minecraft figurines and one of them had their figure go up to the other and say āiām in love with youā and the other one replied āsword slash to the chest. and youāre on fireā
We have a system in place and this dishwasher decided it wanted to be differentā¦ it has this horrible, gadget with small grooves so that all the filth from the past tenants gets in it. Iāve never used it before so I couldnāt tell you what the symbols mean.
