INTRO AND RULES
I have been obsessed with tv head characters for awhile now, and I’ve noticed the distinct lack of ease searching for that trope, so i decided to take it upon myself to make my own collection!
My first gimmick blog, i shouldnt be suprised it’s about tv heads, i probably have more to add up here but for now look under the cut for definitions, tags, and submission rules
as of this point, only one person runs this blog, you can call me Topaz!
OKAY so what to start with…
Rules for submission
Feel free to submit an ask for me to go searching for your favorite CRT fella, but I have some guidelines for you to follow
Format the ask with the character name and the media they’re from, if you know it’s hard to find images/fanart of the character, feel free to hand one over, but otherwise I will find a fitting image myself
Refer to the definitions section, while I’m willing to be flexible with classifications, I want to stick to tv heads here
Check if your character has already been done, i understand missing/forgetting entries but I will try to tag thoroughly to help the search, provable repeat asks will just be deleted
Please do not submit ocs, I still love em but that’s not what I’m looking to add to my catalog, feel free to tag me in tv head oc posts though and I’ll give it a reblog!
I am willing to do characters from nsfw sources, though in your submission PLEASE NOTE IF THE SOURCE IS EXPLICIT, refer to the nsfw tag in the extras section of definitions for more specifics

Definitions/classifications
Tv Head: an umbrella term used here to refer to any character with a tv/monitor display, typically a CRT, in the place of a head
Everything under this for classifications will have a dedicated tag, prefixed listed under their section
Styles
#style: [label here]
CRT tv: the television the term is named after, typically includes antennas but can have old fashioned dials
CRT monitor: computer monitors made with the same display technology as the tv counterpart
CRT: the grey area where it’s distinctly a CRT but not specifically a tv or monitor
Flatscreen: the more modern look, while I prefer CRT based tv heads, these still fit the term so they get a distinction
Classifications
#class: [label here]
Robot: almost any mostly humanoid robots, most importantly must have a distinct “head”
Human: a human wearing a CRT as a helmet
Technically human: human in origin but in a weird point where human or cyborg doesnt apply
Cyborg: a human with technological modifications to their body
Otherworldly entity: any otherworldly entity taking on a tv head as a form
Special: doesnt fit an existing classification, but too specific to make a new label.
Extra
No special tag format
Submission: character was sent to me to make a post of
Mod post: anything that isn’t a tv head or a reblog of one
Fanart image: image used is fanart of the character, this will also be mentioned elsewhere in the post
Tv Appreciation: reblogs of tv head ocs
Honorable mention: honorable mentions, doesn’t quite classify as a tv head but I believe to be closely related (usually involving a CRT in some way). a very thin line and will just come down to my personal judgement. Will lack cataloguing tags
Disqualified: does not qualify as a tv head and isnt close enough to be an honorable mention. Also comes down to personal judgment. Will lack cataloguing tags
nsfw source: the character originated from a source which either is or contains explicit content, it will have either a clean or properly censored photo in the post itself, if I ever forget this tag on a post PLEASE send an ask about it mentioning the character specifically

Post format
Demonstrated by my sona, Boolean, the only oc to get a post
=================================
Boolean - Topaz’s head
Style: CRT monitor
Classification: robot
Notes: was made a tv head because of a lack of anatomy knowledge, unknowingly beginning a snowball effect… also is specifically a monitor because the original canvas size didnt have the room for antennas and i didnt know how to change that
