Bradley Uppercrust III wasn't one to shy away from the spotlight.
This wasn't some grand revelation or anything of the sorts, just a simple fact. His family name carried the weight of prestige and expectations, which in turn meant he was always under scrutinizing observation from the masses.
Still, none of that compared to what he was witnessing at this very moment—a practice video for the X-Games recorded by Max in which he only appeared for a few seconds.
And the comments were... interesting, to say the least.
Today I bring you the 2nd piece I wrote for the Tumblr Sexyman Zine—feat my fave anthropomorphic dogs: Max Goof and Bradley Uppercrust!
These two were living rent free in my brain last year, so ofc I had to write for them when I found out Bradley was considered a Tumblr Sexyman. It was lots of fun tackling their dynamic, so hope you enjoy!

“‘KinitoPET Valentine's Day update?’”
Your voice came out as a choked chuckle as you read the bold letters colored in pink with a border of red. Poorly edited PNGs of roses and hearts were plastered over the icon with Kinito himself having a bouquet attached to him.
Despite the initial shock, upon contemplating it further, it kinda makes sense. Kinito spends most of the game trying to befriend you so you can give him access to your computer, so having a ‘romance route’ wasn't that far fetched.
“Not like I've got anything better to do.” And so, you click away.
Hey everynyan! Alice here! ^^
I come with a little interesting fic I got to write at the end of last year for the now released Tumblr Sexyman Zine—featuring KinitoPET himself!
This game got a hold of me the moment I heard of it, since it really gave me the DDLC vibes & the early 2000's aesthetic was super interesting to tackle in a more modern setting. Kinda nostalgic in a way~
We had to draw a "dinky" to represent each of our zine pieces for the formatting of @hmosexymanzine (download it for free [HERE]) So here's my onceler dinky! What do you think he's sad about? <33
So, SO honoured to have been part of @hmosexymanzine !! For my piece I wanted to make a ref to sexyman character tournament polls, so here is our beloved Once-ler, the OG tumblr sexyman, going back in for the fight while being supported by a few notable colleagues..😇

As a total departure from the warm tones of my previous Once-ler zine pieces [link] [link], I decided to do a piece with cool tones this time :3
Admittedly I didn't have many ideas, except that I had been wanting to draw a beaten up Once-ler again for YEARS now and I figured this would be a perfect opportunity because this is a SEXYman zine and he's HOT like that...and that I also wanted to make a comfort piece (beyond just beating him up). And what I remembered was how shocking the infamous 2022 Sexyman Tournament poll on twit had been for us in the onceler fandom...because the Once-ler had lost SO early on?? In the very first round, to Megamind!!
We were so sad.
So I thought, what if, instead of pitting characters against each other, they supported each other instead? Let's show some respect for the original, very first tumblr sexyman! So then I drew this self-indulgent piece.
Apart from the Once-ler, I included 5 other sexymen: the 4 from the semifinals of the 2022 poll, and Megamind who was the one who had won directly against Once-ler. You've gotta look very closely to see Bill Cipher.
I gave Once-ler a signet ring, along with the crown and cigar, to make it feel like he's of high status - because he is! He's an important figure in fandom history.
The other sexymen (other than Bill Cipher) were drawn only as their arms as a nod to the original Lorax book where the Once-ler is only shown as a pair of arms. But I still tried to keep everyone in-character! One of my favourite decisions was to make Sans' lighter flame blue, just like how a lot of people like to draw him with a flaming blue eye in fanart ;) The lighter being pink was also a nod to his pink slippers.
And of course, a tumblr brand cigar, to stick with the theme of respecting our origins.
I think there's not much else to say...I played it safe by not being too ambitious this time with my zine piece for the sake of my health haha but I think I still like how it turned out! I was so lucky to have been asked to be a guest artist for this zine, I'm very humbled to have my art be placed alongside so many other amazing creators and all the mods were so lovely too! And I guess this piece has another meaning in that the Once-ler fandom will keep coming back again and again no matter how much we get beaten up. You'll never see the last of us. 😌
Much love to everyone in and out of the fandom who are genuine and thank you for reading if you did!
It's close to the release of the second volume of the @hmosexymanzine and I was assigned Rosalina and Pauline. In true tumblr fashion, I thought it would be cute if they perhaps...
guess who wrote TWO whole fics for @hmosexymanzine !! do you like insecure older men learning to heal from ridicule and lucifer expys striking out against a god who kinda sorta destroyed the world for a kid in a coma? have i got the fics for you
it drops on march 21st and everyone put such an incredible amount of work into it so u should check it out i say
Aside from the main @hmosexymanzine, some of us contributors put together some of the crackiest ships out there for the world to see in a bonus zine—and I was luck enough to collab w/the amazing Pliplip for some art for the fic!
