Introduction and DNI

I’ve been on Tumblr for way too long but this is my first time running an account where I’d have to make one of these. I’ll start with the fun stuff though, get that out of the way.

Hi! I’m Buzz! Been a Tumblr resident for a good chunk of years and finally decided to bite the bullet after some good natured bullying from some friends of mine and make a horny blog.

Now some serious stuff. A DNI. Some of it’s pretty obvious, some of it is more personal. (I’m sure I’ll update this slowly but surely over time as things come up)

TERFs, homophobes, transphobes, racists, etc etc can fuck right off into hell where they belong.

Ableism. I’m a disabled individual, don’t come in here with any kind of ableism.

MINORS. Dear God please do not interact with this blog if you’re a minor.

This feels like common courtesy but don’t call me slurs. I call myself slurs all the time but don’t do it????? Not unless you have permission from me.

Now that that’s done, more fun stuff!

Obviously this is a kink blog, so I’m happy to have other kinky folks here!

Listing all my kinks would take FOREVER and also a long chunk of this page so I’ll just do my best to keep my reblogs and posts relevant.

Aside from kink stuff, I’m a huge nerd. Music, movies, and tabletop games are my lifeblood. I’m also crafty, so y’all might see my latest sewing project.

Would I prefer to be called Buzz? Yeah. Can you also call me a variety of nicknames and insults? Sure! On the table right now are puppy, mutt, slut, and brat. I’m sure this will get updated later.

I’m a trans man! I said so above, but I’m trans masc, two years on T as of March ‘26.

And that should be it! If it’s not, I will update accordingly, but until then, I’ll see y’all around ;3

Just a little update now that I feel up to writing a lot

First off I just want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the Entrapdak Zine - maaaan that was awesome!!  I’m still gobsmacked that there was not only interest but also overwhelming support for what is a little simple PDF zine - you guys, gals and non-binary pals even surpassed the Johto Zine in page count I was not expecting that to happen!

Secondly oh hell yeah I’m up for doing another Entrapdak Zine same as the current one but with a few changes:  

I’m trying to work out a sizing for art that’ll make every art borderless where possible (that’s always been a goal of mine) and make a template available for anyone who’d like to use that

If something comes in landscape/wallpaper sizing I’ll experiment with having a segment at the end that’s a two page spread so that those Readers who can set their PDF reader to two page spread can enjoy that feature

Again I’ve no problem with artwork coming in that’s not the template sizing - that is a benefit of a digital zine, we don’t need to worry about that stuff so much we have a weird freedom in that respect.  If you’re okay with borders, I’m okay with putting it in.

IMO Yes to keeping:

Posting older work (fics or art)

AUs (spacebats, spacebats everywhere)

Fanfics

Poems

No sign up, just submit, anyone can submit regardless of age

Submitting Anonymously will still be an option for those that need it

Everything with pro-Entrapdak content welcome

Other characters allowed as long as Entrapdak are the main focus

PG-13 rating so that everyone can enjoy it anywhere

Digital (easier to share - it still blows my mind that as soon as I posted it online here in London, it was available in America, Europe and the rest of the world at the EXACT SAME time)

A secret post-deadline grace period (but longer this time maybe two weeks?)

One art per person on the cover (I just thought that was a super cute way of making everyone be equal)

Free (that way there’s no money being made so hopefully no legal problems should arise)

Pretty much 99% the same everything

I may have to mention minimum clothing requirements in future. There was some submissions I had to discuss with my hubby if that was suitable for a PG13 audience.  It's all part of the learning curve so don’t you worry 😂 (spoiler: I thinking the minimum clothing requirements for male presenting characters to be speedos/underpants and for female presenting characters to be a bikini/bra and underpants and if not sure please use the female presenting criteria)

Is there anything people would like to see or would prefer things to be done differently?  I’m open to constructive feedback  This is our community’s Zine afterall!  I know some Zines have sign ups and waitlists and here’s me in the corner with a catcher’s mitt screaming “yeet it at me and I’ll catch it!!” 🤣

For reference I’m thinking the next Zine would be available by November/December time - in time for the Holiday Season.  I’m not sure on exact timings yet as I need to work out my own personal timings for that time of the year so please bare with me.  As to the theme (if anyone wants it) I’m thinking the vague “Holiday” or “Holiday Seasons” (which can be flexible enough to be interpreted as Easter, summer holidays, Halloween and the Christmas season) but if someone has a better idea I’d love to hear it! 💜💙

Side note 1: To anyone who has submitted work via the email address please know as promised every email in that accounts inbox and sent folders was sent to the trash approx three days after the Zine went live.  They will be wiped fully from the Trash automatically within 30 days, if someone wishes for them to be deleted faster just say so and I will nuke the lot immediately.  Currently only my laptop and iphone have access to that email account and there are no other records of any personal email addresses.  I did have a Google Excel sheet I kept a track of submissions but that only has the same social medias that were shared in the credits pages

Side Note 2: Ray (formerly known as Rae) knows this Zine exists.  I don’t know if they’ve read it or if they are allowed to partake or comment in fandom related things but please know they know it exists (and have been ❤️ing some of the works over on Twitter)

~~~~~~~

Okay that’s Zine ideas out of the way for now.  Next on my agenda is addressing Hordak Appreciation.  I did openly discuss this previously and I was thinking of August 2nd to co-inside with the anniversary of the episode “Huntara” (aka if you didn’t like Hordak then, you certainly did after that episode)

However that’s too soon after the Zine (whoops that ran a little over) and I don’t want to burn anyone out.  I’m not saying we can’t do something for August 2nd, I’m just saying it’s not fair to expect everyone to be ready or able to do something for August 2nd - we all have lives outside of the internet and fandom.  

So I’m thinking with Entrapta’s birthday being Jan 24th and Hordak’s being Feb 18th...

…why not make that Entrapdak Appreciation Season with the birthdays being the individual character’s appreciation day (and we get Valentine’s Day as a bonus 😉😘)  

During this time we can share fanart and fanfics, stream the show on Netflix party, go on mic chats whatever - just have a lot of fun SFW and NSFW (but please tag NSFW for those that don’t wish to see it) .

Also I’d like to note that for a special Day I’ll be personally be starting that “day” from 00:01 in the earliest possible timezone (UTC+14) and finishing on 00:01 on the latest possible timezone (UTC-12) so that we can all enjoy the festivities at the same time and for as long as possible - that’s my plan 🎉

Again please throw some ideas around, maybe we can do prompts or crossovers or ficlets or something - there’s months to plan this so let’s plan something fun

…

Wow I wrote a lot...see I’m dangerous when I get the chance to write stuff 😂

SPOP HC: Hordak the Shiny Spacebat

I’ve not written an essay since I was in school so please forgive my looseness, but this kept eating away at me so I had to get it out of my system

One iddy biddy detail that sorta bothered me was this:

Image source

Compared to how we see the other Horde Clones:

[Image Source]

If all clones are supposed to be the same then why does Hordak look so different?  If Hordak’s natural colouring was something he was “born” with upon returning to Prime surely this shouldn’t wouldn’t have changed (let’s ignore the other random idea I’ve had that this whole Prime storyline was meant to go in a different direction).  

What if…we borrow a term from Pokemon? What if we apply the logic that Hordak looks so different from the other clones because he is a very rare genetic mutation - a “Shiny” variant.

Before we go too far down this rabbit hole, let’s first address what a “Shiny” Pokemon is.

A Shiny Pokemon is an unusual or rare colouring of a Pokemon.  It doesn’t affect any of the Pokemon’s battle statistics, it just looks different.  

A Pokemon is “born” shiny.  It can not gain or loose shininess, and shininess can not be bestowed or removed by using items.

The natural rates of a standard encounter being shiny vary between 1/8192 or 1/4096 depending on the version of Main Series Game being played (with other modifiers applied such as the Shiny Charm item this can be as low as 1/64 or 1/100 depending on the game but we’re only looking at natural encounter rates here).

These differently coloured Pokemon can be highly sought after by players and collectors with some people spending hours if not years trying to obtain a certain one.

I hear you cry “but that’s just Pokemon, that’s not real!” Ah but versions of Shiny Real Life animals do exist. 

Check out some of these unusually coloured beauties:

These genetic colour changes can be detrimental to an animal’s survival in the wild. Such as Albinosim can make an animal stand out in it’s environment and therefor more easily found by predators

Side note: not all generic mutations manifest as colour changes, some could be helpful to science https://www.meduniwien.ac.at/web/en/about-us/news/detailsite/2020/news-im-mai-2020/genetic-defect-could-protect-pangolins-against-coronavirus-disease/ (okay I just stumbled upon an article about Pangolins and I wanted to talk about them because they are cool)

Or how about the Blue Lobster? A real life shiny with the shiny rate of 1/200,000,000

So back to our boy Hordak. Since he’s the only one of his kind on screen to exhibit these physical changes, I’m inclined to declare that he is a shiny form of the Spacebat race. 

Horde Prime I would see as a variant along the lines of a Pokemon Regional variant like Sandshrew and Alolan Sandshrew:

^These boys work hard being the Ambassadors of Tottori Source 

or as a non-changeable Form variant similar to Toxtricity Amped and Low Key Forms:

As Horde Prime still retains some of the core details of a spacebat but hasn’t got enough differences to classify as a shiny like Hordak.  I don’t want to think of Horde Prime as a Parasitoid as that’s kinda creepy - nature why??!

Now the only real question to ask ourselves is…. is Hordak a star shiny sparkle or a square shiny sparkle? The Entrapdak Hivemind is swinging towards him being a Star Shiny and I love it XD

Just a little update - as we are currently in the small grace period time as mentioned here:

Here’s the chonkiness of the Zine Submission Folder (this number is all fan fics spilt into their single pages):

I’m seriously impressed, you’ve managed to top this French Pokemon Johto Free 103 page Fanzine (once the cover, intro and credits pages are added) as I previously mentioned:

And since there’s no Anons these go unused and everyone gets a little credits card in the Zine and also on a post with everyone’s socials in a neat list for easy clickableness (to be posted privately first and made public later):

As a reminder the zine will be out on tomorrow MONDAY JULY 5TH 2021 in the rough time window of afternoon-evening GMT Timezone.  For a lot of our American friends that’ll be just as you wake up <3

[maireadralph]

You know @nonbinaryboyd you could just talk to me about Joes if you wanted to. There’s not many others around these days …well there’s @viewtifulclub which is more active over on Twitter (since I can’t manage juggling the other social media accounts on a regular basis 😅). The Club’s Discord should still have a few people in there (I’ve sorta forgot to pop my head in there for a while but it exists for those that need it)

Pretty sure the admin of fuckyeahviewtifulworld on Tumblr cleared off years ago and is never returning

[maireadralph]

That blind panic when you’re certain you set the command for a post to be a Draft and the Dashboard loads after to hit save - wait DID that go live??! *phew no*
