Hi there, my name is Simon! I've been on this website for a while so I decided to revamp my intro!
I am 20 years old (January 29th), a transman demiboy otherkin! He/they/it pronouns please :)
I am an artist and occasional writer! You'll mostly see me posting art though as writing can be rather challenging for me! If you're interested in commissioning me, check out the reference sheet below!
I often judge myself for not getting over PTSD and stuff but I do have to remind myself it is in fact extremely hard to get over something when you're actively still in that environment. Of course I'm still scared by loud noises, of course I still get scared and think I'm going to get hit- I'm still around what causes that PTSD. It sucks but uhhhh yeah
some of the SBR cast in that geometric 2000s cartoon art style or smth
ts took me like almost up to like 3am because I was struggling with some of the head shapes for some of the characters 😭
but either way I had so much fun drawing in this style mostly because it was kinda simple for me at least and I technically had drawn in this type of style before
I might do a full body versions of all them and some more other characters later
Ykw I'm really excited to see the doctor soon. NOT excited for blood work, but is anyone? Not sure if I've got good veins or not. I hated it last time because a nurse was really snippy to me about being anxious with a needle. I found that taking an object with me of comfort really helped when I was in the hospital, so I sure hope this new nurse is fine with a Scotty figure out of the way in my other hand lol
I'm really curious to see what's up with my heart most of all. Okay, thyroid too. Definitely those
Okay a bonus I just realized since leaving Twitter: I won't be able to commission artists anymore. You'd think this would make me sad, but that just means I'll be saving money! Huzzah!
If y'all see me being more active it's because I finally left Twitter to improve my mental health. It was needing to happen for a while but yeah😭 So y'all are gonna be hearing more and more about Mountain Tim over here (mostly my AU version of him) buttt... Yup! Happy holidays everyone
Okaaayy... For fun I'm making a post about my personal AU Tim I've made :) Obvious spoilers for SBR! Keep in mind this is mostly for fun while exploring his character, but feel free to add your own input! Unless you're going to be a dick.
Content warnings; descriptions of gore, scars, burns, PTSD, suicidal urges, and other generalized mental health struggles
Starting off from the beginning, all the way back to the Devil's Palm. This is where I first start to implement things into Tim's character I feel Araki might've ignored.
Due to his near death experience Tim right off the rip has PTSD from it, and not to mention survivors guilt from being the only person to make it out alive. While getting older and working to become a well loved icon in America this mental health bump would've gotten smothered, he's the type to not pay very much mind to his own struggles especially given how driven he is. Tim would've also suffered longer lasting effects from heat stroke, mostly being an intolerance to heat with sensitive skin.
Cue the Steel Ball Run and Tim's run in with Oyecomova. This is where Tim's design sharply turns away from his canon design. (Reusing this photo because I'm lazy!) His scar isn't as small as it is in canon, his lips are cut through and his left eye is blind with a droop to it. Across his entire body is scars and burns from the explosion, though he keeps them covered by his choice of (gaudy) clothing.
Due to the explosion Tim suffers from chronic pain, a struggle to speak/eat, a massive decrease in mood, and even more PTSD. This guy can't catch a break! I'd also like to say his and Lucy's relationship is FAMILIAL. Araki was a pussy to not make Tim some sort of father figure for her but WHATEVER, I digress.
The chronic pain is related closely to a traumatic brain injury (from the explosion and from getting thrown around while Gyro fights Oyecomova) and other generalized nerve damage. It's truly a miracle this guy made it out alive and lives as long as he does. The pain and brain injury makes it hard to do day to day activities, but he prevails. His memory isn't as good as it used to be and he's more prone to having heightened aggravation.
Along with that other stuff, Tim's vocal cords took a beating as well. He struggles to speak very well, his voice is raspy from the smoke, and his jaw quite literally was the first thing that came off him during the explosion. Eating is hard for him, so he resorts to softer food, and he doesn't talk as much either. In fact, you'd be lucky to even hold a long conversation with him.
Mentally speaking Tim is nowhere near the man he once was. He feels broken once and for all, and he struggles to enjoy life. He's depressed, anxious, and overall has a very lackluster look to life. He's rather suicidal but doesn't do anything about it. His love life is relatively non existent as he figures no one would want him anymore, not to mention with his chronic pain he struggles with sexual affairs, leading him to adapt the Greysexual label.
This is where the AU part of him gets played with more- he can either go through with canon and die to Blackmore (something he doesn't fight, allowing Blackmore to essentially put him out of his misery) or drop out of the race completely, retire as a marshal and spend the rest of his days alone.
And that's the end! Typa shit Oyecomova does to a mf!
