Commissions open (check the art blog)

Sex-repulsed ace (and romance repulsed when it comes to fandom) DNI if NSFW. They/Them. Yorkshire. Not a minor, but respect my boundaries. I love the Shade (previously Riddler) and birds and post a lot of aspec stuff. D@nonation DNI. Please don't interact if your URL is suggestive or romantic (eg: [blorbo's] wife/husband/lover) Proshippers/nonce apologists DNI. Bigots/TERFs/Zionists etc DNI. Harold Pissface fans DNI I don't care if you're still trans or an "ally". I don't post much about it, but for the record I fucking hate Scriddler (it's the OCD erasure). Safe for sex repulsed and romance repulsed people. Probably not safe for kink-repulsed people, sorry

Don't send me asks for fundraising/signal boost. I will assume you are a bot.

Tags:

Wauk wauk is my bird tag (it's what the Penguin says)

Riddler Brainrot for posts to do with Riddler that don't really belong in the main tag, almost always original posts, it's me making sure I don't clog up the search results with semi-relevant things

shadeposting - Same as above, for the Shade

jonathancakeposting - Same as above, for Jonathan Cake

Aspec posts are usually tagged with whatever identity I have relevant to the post, along with "aspec"

Most triggers are tagged with tw trigger and cw trigger, or just the thing. There may be untagged eyestrain, I am very bad at judging what is and isn't eyestrain

NEW DANO SLANDER TAG IS d*no slander

Old Dano Slander tag: tw dano slander

Fandoms would have you believe that 99.9% of all media is in the romance genre.

Happy Arospec Awareness week! Whis hasn't expressed attraction and also doesn't understand why humans are expected to stay beside their partner while they give birth, so I'm claiming him (plus he slays)

My dear blorbo, I bestow upon you the highest joy: Herdwick sheep

I think immortality would be a lot less miserable if you think of humanity like any other animal. Just because the little lambs of this year have all grown up doesn't make the future ones any less cute. Just because each specific sheep will eventually die doesn't mean we can't love sheep as a whole, and befriend them.

[offering "your character here" commissions if you've got any blorbos you need to see with sheep or lambs!]

Been getting back into Dragon Ball (there were lots of Dragon Ball Super episodes airing back-to-back on the telly, had that for a few days and now I'm continuing Dragon Ball Z while drawing)

Here's a piece I've done for the aromanticism zine!

All of the birds were from photos me or my dad took, which is why there... aren't many for the green sections...

Note: this is about aro/loveless positivity. Do NOT use this as an opportunity to hate on pigeons.

I think Agnes Crumplebottom's power scales so she can smack anyone with her handbag as long as she sees them being romantic in public. This means she could defeat Thanos in Marvel Comics, since his whole motivation is that he's in love with Death

sorry to say this but some of you read aroace-coding as gay-coding because you cannot fathom the idea that a person could not feel romantic or sexual attraction. like a male character can be asked if he has a girlfriend and respond by explicitly stating that he is not interested in dating anyone and you will go "oh he's not interested in girls so he must be gay". please stop doing this because it makes me very sad

NoLegs ended up really cute, he's just a little guy

Heranne Lister! Reference photo was low quality but I wanted to use it because it was taken at Shibden Hall (my first heron sighting! (while I was aware of birds))

@frondmymind described the Hush 2 Riddler design as a "leather daddy" so I designed a Riddler leather outfit

Wanted to complain about allonormativity. Turns out, you can make a close-up of blorbo look way more interesting if you do a half-decent background instead of putting him in the void

[blueblurbbaskets]

personally i would like it if it was a thing for people to tag art of people kissing cause i just do not wanna see that but there's not really a way to effectively filter it

[blueblurbbaskets]

like just use the word 'kiss' or 'kissing' (no need to put it as a content warning) and then people who want to see art of people kissing will presumably be able to find it better also. we all win here in this hypothetical

The best way I can describe to an allo person how you feel about sex as a topic as a sex-repulsed or averse asexual is that it feels like a hype that never ends. As though Despicable Me came out and everyone around you was sending minion facebook memes to each other for years to come. The stores are full of minion themed products; they're in ads and your friends talk about them all the time. And deep in your heart you're like "I'm glad that they're able to enjoy something I personally don't like and am not interested in :3". But there is always this little voice in the back of your head that's like "If I have to see ONE MORE of these little yellow FUCKERS today then God help us all." You make an active choice to communicate only the former.

Saw a cute robot duck in a YouTube video (Grian, Gem etc playing R.E.P.O) so I wanted to draw a duck, went into waterfowl reference photo folder and was struck by one with delightful composition. Think birds are one of the subjects where you can save inaccurate proportions with rendering.
