#and the answer is sexymen

[delcat177]

Can we romanticize old tech. Can we humanize the iPhone 3 as a silver fox with a gruff voice and a knowing smile that wants your hands all over it. Can we stall consumption by making refurbishment sexy

[canisalbus]

I bring a sort of "Machete and Vasco should be tumblr sexymen" vibe that others probably wouldn't like-

[ask-the-sexyman-squad]

DT, Alastor, hear me out...

Your babies in one of these bad boys

"O-oh."

Alastor is completely gone. He's laughing his ass off over something so small---yet admittedly clever and funny. To be fair, he hasn't slept in...two days. However, DT seems to genuinely enjoy this.

"It's...a lovely thought, thank you for sharing."

They were struggling not to laugh, but they were damn close to failing.

"..."

"..."

"What-"

"-the-"

"-fuck-"

"-language."

"Sorry."

"...though your swearing is somewhat understandable. Are they both unwell?"

"Hell if I know. But I do know that dad hasn't slept in two days."

"Isn't he normally able to go on for weeks without sleeping?"

"He can, but there is something off about him. Like he's internally freaking out."

"Perhaps it's the weight of being a father settling in?"

"Maybe."

"...guess we got an audience now."

"What are you-oh."

Immediately, Mordecai's pupils dilated much more upon noticing that Bella was watching him. It was a sweet sentiment, and Sam just smiled down when Castiel looked up at her.

"Mhm. These lil guys...buncha cuties."

"Hm...Alastor and Double Trouble should get some rest, though. Specifically Alastor. I haven't seen Double Trouble fatigued as of late, which is good I suppose. Alastor..."

"He really should get rest: but first I wanna know what's going on with him."

"Be my guest: you are his eldest daughter after all."

"...yeah..."

Dear toyhouse user, oml??/SILLY

[absolutely-zero-regrets]

do you think Ghadius is Tumblr Sexyman material

sure

[braisedhoney]

I need your permission for oc-usage when the hypothetical shapeshiftng aliens the U.S. senate confirmed hypothetically come. For family-friendly research of course.

i. for some reason i just do not know what this means. like i comprehend all the words in it but the meaning escapes me. my brain became a sieve.

but uh. i feel like if that happens we can all pick our favorite character/our sonas we created and just roll with it right...?

[mummy-huntress]

Pepaw wasn’t included apparently 😔

[lu-the-artist]

Jevil, Mew and Lucario

LOL JEVIL TOO??? tbh it’s accurate haha

What do you have against joe hills being tumblr sexyman?? /gen /nm

I'm mostly joking about the whole tumblr sexyman thing for the bit. The situation is very funny, and I think it's fun to take part in it as a "dismayed second party"!

However, I've been on Tumblr for many years now, and the term "tumblr sexyman" has largely lost its meaning among the masses, I think.

I'm no expert, my friend is the person you should go to in order to get the full details on Tumblr Sexyman candidacy (as wholly STUPID as that sounds), but there was a time when being a "tumblr sexyman" was, you know. Generally not a good thing, anon. It just meant you had a lot of people making self-cest AUs and... a lot of... interesting takes about the character in question (and by interesting, I mean completely and utterly destroying the character's ACTUAL personality).

So, the way we currently describe Joe as a "tumblr sexyman"? It's funny. It's silly, goofy, and hopefully lighthearted. I'll admit I don't have the most info about the situation, but I'm going to hope that it is since Joe is, in fact, a real person, and not a character we can mold and break. We play it up for the bit, because it's funny.

Uh... I kinda rambled there. TL;DR, I don't think Joe should be labeled a Tumblr Sexyman, but it's funny to pretend he is, and the situation regarding the sexyman poll is absolutely hilarious.

[t4tails]

[hellsite-hall-of-fame]

I tried to find a description of what it was and discovered this video, so for anyone confused, ( also @tiensmamains) this video is very insightful into the absolute chaos that I imagine the whole thing was

im curious, do you have a favourite tumblr sexy man?

……what if I told you that I somehow missed that entire Tumblr sexy man poll phenomenon and that the only one I saw anyone talk about was the fucking onceler so idk who was even in the running

I think I accidentally disappeared from Tumblr while that whole thing was happening….. oops?

duck and red guy are not good people.

ive probably said this a million times already but friendly reminder that they’re incredibly grey. they ruin their own lives just as much as the house does it for them, not to mention how theyre responsible for most of the turmoil in yellows life. duck especially loves with his entire heart, but that doesnt stop him from being a piece of shit.

a lot of you watch the series with this idea that the main three are poor innocent babies trapped and helpless when actually, if there was anywhere else to go (which its implied there isnt) red and duck would never fuckin get there because theyre too selfish and stupid to make it.

becky and joe said themselves in a QnA that yellow made it up the stairs alone because red and duck are just too cynical and selfish to ever make it anywhere. the second yellow started heading down the stairs it was over for him, because red and duck will NEVER listen. they want answers but are too stubborn to ever receive them. The house could be unlocked completely and theyd keep themselves there

Not to mention how they treat each other. they either enable each others shitty behavior, or give up on trying to stop each other. red starts to get onto duck for his behavior towards yellow, but then he joins in to make fun of him multiple times. because he doesnt actually care that much, and that apathy can make him cruel

i think a lot of you forget that even as they are normally, even on the regular floor— not even being bigger boys— they DROWNED THEIR FUCKING CAT!!!!!!!!

and they did it together, is what gets me. theyre codependent. theyre all the other really has, the only other adult really to talk to. they completely disagree on everything, having the opposite worldview of each other which causes them to argue constantly— but theyre all the other has. the only one as shitty as themself. they get stuck with each other in the bigger rooms. growing grotesque together, ruining themselves TOGETHER. they get farther apart. they speak to each other less. they torture smaller things for entertainment rather than talking with each other— but theyre still stuck together. glued to each others hip until the world stops spinning, but always being too cowardly and stubborn to be kind to one another and let themselves be happy together.

even when they reach clarity, or they hit an arc that makes them better people— theyll just forget tomorrow, and go right back to being terrible.

theyre not helpless. sure theyre victims, but not perfect ones— and they themselves have victims of their own

and dont even get me started on the mischaracterization of red in this fandom. YES hes just as bad as duck!!! hes not a fucking baby hes a grown ass man!!! he says the same shit as duck all of the time and yall see it differently cuz his voice is nicer to hear or he says it quieter. and may i add— he can be socially awkward and still an asshole. he can be neurodivergent and still an asshole. it doesnt cancel out, you dont have to pick one or the other.

yall take everything interesting out of these characters so you can make them sexymen but to me the sexiest part is the nuance of the character. duck and red are assholes but that doesnt make them unlikable, the show itself proves that. theyre incredibly likeable but still do terrible shit, and yall forget BECAUSE of how likeable they are.

this isnt meant to be some post to make you think theyre bad people that you should hate because thats bullshit. theyre not good people but theyre not overall bad people either. their actions are terrible but at the end of the day they can and have been better, even if only temporarily. there is a part of them that could easily fit into a happy family— a part of them that can heal each other instead of hurt each other. but unfortunately thats the part thats always erased

hi, im going down a rabbit hole for a video essay, did you happen to run the turbotasticasks blog back in 2012???

SCREAMS if you've managed to connect me to A TURBO ask blog in 20 fucking 24 that is insane....

I DID run a Turbo ask blog on deviantArt back in 2012

I hadn't checked on it in ages but there are some SOLID STUPID ASS POSTS i was fucking obsessed with his ugly ass as a 14 year old (still am tbh) and I didn't realize how many goddamn pageviews this page got holy christ

There were quite a few Turbo ask blogs on dA at the time, and I was more of a crack/shitposting Turbo, so my version was off the shits insane. Eventually, the fandom died, and I moved onto Homestuck around late 2013 early 2014 and also started using tumblr more than dA! I had some great memories of shitposting, rping on the chatboards, and answering the few questions I did in the short amount of time the fandom was alive

We got some great hits in this crusty era... including but not limited to:

"I'm okay..."

And

Turbo selfcest à la 2012 tumblr sexymen ask account selfcest shipping .... THE REAL OGS REMEMBER

WE were very chummy with the onceler fandom. You could imagine the relationship between these 2 sexymen selfcest shipping fandoms to be like the unbreakable bond between early 2011-2013 era homestuck and hetalia fandoms... very very good memories indeed...

My original tumblr username was like @im-turbo-fucking-tastic and I mostly lurked and rbed art back then! I wasn't the most confident posting art on tumblr at the time (it was new and scary and full of cool older people) and it wouldn't rly be until around 2016/2017 when the homestuck obsession came back in full swing, grabbed me by the cock and swung me into a high voltage line

If you have ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, feel free to pester me. I'd love to see what you're working on!!!! I MISS THE WRECK IT RALPH FANDOM SO MUCHHHHH

Thank you for the ask <3 XD

Double Trouble, I'm sure you're aware of the alternate versions of you that exist throughout various dimensions and alternate timelines.

Does it console you to know that other versions of you, somewhere, are godparents, or even parents themselves, and doing a great job at it?

(PS, If you WEREN'T aware that other you's exist, I'm happy to go into more detail on the matter!)

--@call-me-double-trouble

"I did indeed know of my alternates. But a part of me is glad I haven't met them yet..."

"...it does seem sweet to know this. So yes: it does console me...knowing the good parenting side of it."

[aq2003]

Is there anyone who is BETTER at portraying vulnerability, at being painfully vulnerable on stage and screen, than DT? In your opinion. Of course all good actors should be able to appear vulnerable, in their different individual styles etc, but I maintain that DT's brand of talent somehow makes it his particular strength. On the same level? Maybe. But is there anyone better with this specific skill?

anon you've come to the blog of the most biased guy in the world when it comes to answering this question but GOD absolutely THERE IS A REASON HE IS MY FAVORITE ACTOR . it's like. he's the kind of performer that is so like devoid of ego and this results in having like zero qualms in portraying the entire spectrum of human emotion/experience even if it's really silly or insane or ugly or uncomfortable or Anything and he puts this deep passion and charisma and draw in nearly every performance and all of his characters are so deeply human whether it be a desperately lonely man or silly little dude or cynic with a heart of gold or Worst guy to ever be put on planet earth and you feel so sick watching him do anything but you just cannot look away. and it's like haha yeah he's one of the white guy british tumblr sexymen but so many of his performances are so interesting and thought provoking and Able to be spun around in the brain microwave and i genuinely believe he's one of the best actors ever Especiallyyyyy when it comes to shakespeare like he delivers these centuries old lines so naturally and beautifully and like they were written yesterday specifically for him and Why the fuck doesn't he have an olivier yet brother

[ethicstownpod]

do you have an idea yet when the qna will be out? i believe last year it was out around this time, and i'm looking forward to hearing the answers to our questions and all of your goofy shenanigans

{one of my favourite bits last year was the explanation of tumblr sexymen, that was hilarious}

Hello!

The BTS Q&A is mostly ready; it's released in the supporter discord and I'm just waiting on a New and Horrific sound from Cai to censor it with, then it'll be good for public release!

The cast Q&A still needs a little bit of editing, but should hopefully be ready by the end of the month!
