#hes definitely tumblr sexyman material

[hyperesthesias]

Why haven't I seen a damn thing about Blue Beetle on my dash? That movie was fucking amazing.

[rosieshipper]

Sure am loving all the appreciation this man is getting lately

[eashgirl]

I'm not going to lie, I actually love the idea that adult Foop/Irep has a punk boy esque fashion sense,looking back even as a kid he mentioned it once or twice how he loved bad boys (take that as you will),so his new outfit was definitely the way I envisioned his adult design to be like,yes even the square head,it did take a bit getting used to but he's adorable,plus it's a great contrast to Peri who dresses like a diligant rule abiding citizen ready for work then there's Irep looking like that

If Peri can grow up to the new Tumblr sexyman then Irep is loser bbg material

No one ever call him ugly ever again, he's so cute ,an evil little gremlin having the time of his life being better than Peri for once at something he looks so happy🥺

He's a loser hear me y'all. And I admit maybe he doesn't have a good fashion sense but it's still so him though 🤣 which is why it's funny

It's just me or Loki stans tend not to care about female character's much? One thing I've noticed about Loki-centric blogs is that some of them have side blorbos, but always male blorbos. They only care about female characters when they have some canon connection to Loki so they can talk about him through talking about her, and only when the connection in question is platonic (Verity, Frigga...). When Loki has a canonically romantic/sexual connection with a woman (Amora, Sylvie, Lorelei, etc) they either demonize her or erase the romantic factor to make them into ~mean queer besties~ like he's her gay bff. There's a difference between disliking het (valid) and erasing the canon dynamic of his relationships with women because the thought of their canon bi fave liking icky women makes them uncomfortable. Face it, Loki fandom: your fave likes boobs and coochie, stop pretending otherwise. You don't have to personally ship het to recognize that some women canonically turn him on and/or matter to him romantically.

I don't think it's unique to Loki stans. It's a misogyny problem that is both based on the biases within fandom and those of the writers. The Loki fandom is far from being the only one that targets a woman love interest so viciously (*cough* ST fandom, I've also heard other Marvel ships are like that too). And I definitely do get annoyed when Loki's bisexuality gets erased because they don't deem the female characters worthy. And yea, they'll always try to make it platonic with women characters. The "these two characters with little shared background that kissed are siblings" shit is so fucking annoying. It's fine if it's not your cup of tea,but pretending they have "sibling energy" is weird.

Writing biases:

S2 gave very little exploration to the female characters. And most Marvel female characters have little depth. Like just look at the Thor movies, we don't know much about Sif (personality is the woman warrior), Frigga(personality is mom), and Jane is just there as love interest for Thor. Valkyrie's interesting but her name isn't given in Ragnarok, and I heard she got sidelined in TLAT, the movie I refuse to watch. Sylvie had decent focus in S1 but was sidelined in S2 and relegated to product placement.

Speaking of the source material, I am not joking when I say many of the female character's characterizations in the comics before maybe the 2010s were nothing but "wanting to fuck Thor." Also, BW was a prime example of Whedon's "empowering" brand of sexualized strong female character and took forever to get her movie after getting unceremoniously fridged.

Granted, I have not kept up-to-date with Marvel movies because I am only interested in Loki and I find a lot of characters annoying, in case the shitty writing conventions for female characters have improved.

Fandom biases:

Fandom can't stomach anything other than saccharine sweetness as a personality for women, especially when they interact with a popular male character. It has been shown that in real life, women are more likely to be seen as rude or bitches for more tame behavior than men.

People claiming that Mobius was "compassionate" for blaming Loki for his mother's death and locking him in a time loop where he's beaten repeatedly, while Sylvie calling him a "clown" was "abusive".

This is interesting and one of the many examples against "abusive women are given a pass" because the "victim" in question is the same Tumblr sexyman, but the woman's non-abusive behavior that makes sense in-context is scrutinized ridiculously and Loki was not hurt physically by it, while Mobius "gave him therapy".

No one can even argue it's because Loki is the Tumblr fandom fave rather than pure fucking misogyny because actual harm to Loki gets passed as being for his own good by a rather vocal portion of fans when it's a man doing it. You'd think the fandom would have lost their shit over one of the OG Tumblr Sexymen being mistreated. But nah. (And yes, I forgave Mobius for risking his skin for Loki in S2, lol. He more than made up for it.).

Also, Sylvie RIGHTFULLY called Mobius out for putting his head in the dirt like a fucking ostrich, and the fandom threw a fit and babied him.

[about-faces]

Heeeeeeeey, so for the Batman tumblr sexyman polls, I'm thinking that for the Lazarus Pit round that us fans of Two-Face ought to run a campaign. Since I'm new to the fandom, but you have a LOT of Two-Face knowledge, I was wondering if you could tell me some places where I would be able to find in-universe campaign material for Harvey Dent running for office. I just think that it would be really funny if we rebranded Harvey's canonical campaign material into stuff for a sexyman poll. But I don't exactly know where to find that stuff. >.<

Also what's the story that Two-Face almost beats Dick to death with a baseball bat in? Because unless the Freeze fans really pull through in this present round, I have a feeling that we will all need to band together if we are to have a hope of defeating the Dick stans. And what better candidate than the guy who almost beat Dick to death with a baseball bat!? And you gotta admit... He did look pretty darn sexy while doing it... >.>

There are surprisingly not a ton of Harvey campaigning images, since the image of him as a candidate is a relatively recent take on the character, likely due to The Dark Knight and its aggressive marketing. I'm honestly blanking on some good images (it's been a long day) but there's the campaign poster from Two-Face: Year One and some screenshots from early on in the Long Halloween movie where he's celebrating his victory. Along those lines you could also use some images of Billy Dee Williams in front of his giant Citizen Kane poster from Burton's Batman. Oh, and of course, the Uncle Sam promo image of Two-Face from Arkham City. I just wish I could think of some examples from actual GOOD Harvey stories, but alas, no brain tonight. Sorry I'm coming up short tonight.

The story of Harvey beating Dick Grayson with a baseball bat was Robin: Year One, a retelling of the flashback events revealed in Batman: Prodigal (specific issue, Robin #0, where Harvey originally beat Dick with his bare fists). As with Harvey killing Jason's dad, these events are no longer in continuity, but there are definitely some fans who still treat them as such and hold grudges against Harvey as a result. I have no interest in dealing with those kinds of fans any more than is strictly necessary, as they can be... intense, not to mention wholly unsympathetic to Harvey, nor do they care about how he's misused by certain writers in comics. Like, hell yeah he looked great in Robin: Year One, no argument there! But the writing was an abysmal take on Harvey.

But if you're willing to deal with those fans or even provoke them, well... godspeed, little doodle!

[starcircuitultimatebracket]

Antares is literally the definition of gifted kid burnout and honestly? Such a mood. Like, I see him reduced to either "Tumblr sexyman material" or "nerd" and like. I suppose he is both but as a "gifted kid" it kinda makes me uncomfortable to see people perceiving him as just that and not really a person.

I call him a sexyman as a joke but I 100% actually Love Him and his character arc is one of the best in the series

Miracoro 11/2023 reviews

I wish more works broke out of the "cool overdesigned mc and normal kid with bonkers reactions" mold, but I suppose that's the easy way to start a story.

Vampred: Vampire/zombie story. Most of the chapter was showing off the main character Sol, who's a very nice lad with a cool design. He's got artificial limbs, is malewife material, is unfailingly polite, is half-vampire, has a tragic backstory about being tortured by humans, and yet still believes that they deserve his protection. Not sure about that one, chief. The mc's engineered perfection made a lot more sense once I found out the author is the Bitch Cop Ass guy.

Yamikiri Giri: god i miss doctor dokuta. This feels like a good candidate for its successor. It starts off in the middle of action, which is unusual to see with these oneshots. The protag Giri is the polar opposite of the previous guy, and he may actually be an adult? I had a lot of fun reading this one.

Mikazuki: Basically, "what if Maya channeled Phoenix to solve cases?" The culprit actually came as a surprise. It's definitely a Takahashi-sensei work, and it definitely feels inspired by Ace Attorney. I enjoyed it, but not sure if it's the best pick for serialization. It's the only one that made me actually gasp, though.

Monoshiro: Moves along really fast and therefore wasn't left with time for it to sink in. The premise is lacking. Again, cool designs though.

Gatlin: Great action but lacks substance. The sidekick this time is a girl, which I'll gladly take.

Iroha: Karuta... with a CATBOY. Absolute winning premise. The mc Iroha has almost no knowledge of the poems but has extreme reflexes that let him react to the opponent's movements. The art's pretty intense too. Now this could be interesting if expanded upon.

Monster Parent: Pretty good gag manga. The mc's mom is a literal monster who doesn't get that she's seen as a monster. She orally lays eggs in the supermarket to help her look for curry, because the staff are busy and she doesn't want to bother them. Heck of a sentence.

Shinigami Happy End: Very fresh take to have a shinigami whose primary item is trash bags. The modern reaper is a garbage collector. And he's also a tumblr sexyman who goes from main blorbo form to smexy skinny legend. Kind of scary. Kobayashi-sensei popped OFF with the art. The climax spread is actually *abstract* rather than a physical finishing blow, and it rules.

Sonata: Kinda like Inazuma Eleven GO but with a music club. Featuring instrument avatars. The mc Sonata is not a good musician at all but he's dedicated, so that makes up the difference. It breaks the formula slightly by having a whole club instead of one sidekick, and the mc doesn't already have awakened powers.

Seira: A rich girl's awakening to ramen. It's slower-paced than the others, so the flavor soaks in. Even as a one-shot it's nice.

Kamikakushi: Again mostly action-based, but it could easily pivot to part-mystery. We're getting a lot of girl primary characters in this volume, that's really neat. This time the mc has hammerspace hair. The enemy was decently freaky too.

Kamibukuro Hunter: The art style for the kid in this one is kinda... "how to draw anime". It's bizarre. But she can still emote as befits a gag manga. The premise is kinda one-note here.

Gudegudevil: Gag manga about a pet devil trying to dissuade a kid from doing homework but it's too lazy itself to succeed. Not too exciting.

Isekai Boukensha: It's an isekai. And this time, the protag's an 11yo with a wooden stick. Not my thing.

Onigiri: Gag body humor with a sentient onigiri. Feels kinda mundane, or maybe I'm just worn out by the end of all these pilots.

Top three that I think have potential for more: Yamikiri Giri, Iroha, Monster Parent

[ceruleanwhore]

I’ve been thinking about this and I watched someone’s video essay on a bunch of stuff around this and no, I actually want to talk about it. Rise of the Guardians came out on the heels of Brave and was sandwiched in between that and Frozen, which resulted in the film getting a fraction of the attention it could have if it weren’t overshadowed by Disney. This means that RotG never really got a big following and fandom of its own, and yet Jack Frost clearly is the pinnacle of a Tumblr Sexyman, so we ended up with the RotBTD/RotBTFD fandom where people basically just poached the cute lil ice twink to use in their Disney content (and some also did the same with Pitch, since he’s also quite a Tumblr Sexyman himself). For real, every j3lsa shipper I’ve seen gives me the vibe that they’ve seen Frozen no fewer than 37 times but they’ve only seen RotG once, after they already discovered the ship and decided they liked the aesthetics of it. Because RotG never really got much traction in terms of having a fandom of its own at the time of its release, bits and pieces of it instead just got co-opted by the Disney fandom(s). Friendly reminder that all of this was in 2012/2013, which was also the golden era of disnerds and was when we were starting to really get fandom culture around Disney where, before Tangled, while there were definitely tons of Disney fans, they weren’t really doing any of the fandom stuff and making fanworks based on previous Disney princesses and their movies. People were writing fics and making fan edits of Tangled, Brave, and Frozen, but we’d never seen anyone do that until then with other princesses like Cinderella or Ariel or even Esmeralda who, arguably, was everything that Elsa was 20 some odd years prior to Frozen. So, with the true dawning of these eventual Disney adults who, at the time, were still teens and kids, and the fandom stuff that went with them, RotG and its characters ended up being more like playthings for them than material for their own fandom.  With the shipping, specifically j3lsa, I think there’s a couple parts to it. First and foremost is what I just said about the huge sociological shift in overall fandom culture and online spaces with this dawning of a true Disney fandom, but there’s also the sensation of Frozen itself and, more specifically, Elsa. Everybody was foaming at the mouth going absolutely feral for this hot white girl who has Idina Menzel’s voice and doesn’t end up with a man, and she became a cultural sensation the likes of which we’ve never seen before. I think it was because of this that everyone collectively decided she needed to be paired with the Tumblr Sexyman who shares her aesthetic. If the ship and everything regarding fandom culture that went with it comes down to collective obsession with Elsa, then that also explains why Jack often ends up being really ooc in that ship, because it’s about making a boyfriend for Elsa rather than shipping two characters who suit each other or already have a strong relationship. So anyway, I just think that if RotG had been released at a different time, especially if it had been a while after Frozen came out when there was that gap before they did Moana, it could have gained more of a following of its own, meaning it also could’ve just had its own fandom without the crossover shipping stuff, and the internet could have gained interest in a different ship. (I also would just be really curious to see what Elsa ship the internet could have come up with in the absence of Jack Frost. Tbh it kind of makes me sad that we’ll never know if we could’ve had mainstream Elsa x [other Disney princess] or even, if people were still going to make HTTYD crossovers, Elsa x Astrid instead.)

Regardless of if you ship it or not, my whole point with jackrabbit/bunnyfrost is that they are the absolute pinnacle of what the internet wants in a ship - a sassy pretty boy twink and a gruff, 6 ft something tsundere with muscles and an accent who have a whole relationship of just snarky rivalry but then being there for each other when it matters. I am convinced that the only reason this ship doesn’t have the same following as something like drarry or zutara is because it didn’t have the fandom to support it, so it couldn’t become that mainstream, whereas the Disney side of things was absolutely that mainstream, so that kind of took over. No hate to those fandoms or ships, btw, I’m only censoring that one ship name so it doesn’t come up in people’s searches for it, but this is just something I think is an interesting bit of sociology and fandom history.

So I recently rewatched Rise of the Guardians for the first time like since it came out and I just need to know why the everliving shit everyone was going on and on about Jelsa for so long when the occa bunny bloke is right fucking there with the best possible relationship arc with Jack

[doctorsiren]

Hey, so I just read the entirety of featherweight in 24hours. Firstly, I loved it, great awesome, secondly, is Mumbo turning into a tumblr sexman? Thanks <3 !!!

Please you can’t forget the Y in the middle of that word 😭😭😭 you’ve changed the entire meaning

[lunatic-fandom-space]

I have a question for for all the older fans who are also more involved in the fandom n stuff

Was Sebastian ever considered a tumblr sexyman?

Bc I get the impression that Black Butler was at its most popular when the anime was airing around like 2008 so it shouldve missed that whole era but I feel like hes definitely tumblr sexyman material so like, was he??

Im asking because I just watched a scene where his eyes did the glowey slit-pupil thing and my brain went ha! Human Bill Ciper Moment

[moonouns]

Do you think he has Tumblr sexyman potential

Yayy another blorbo to rate!!!

Ooooo the dark circles are an excellent touch... might be a vampire, might be sleep deprived. Dig the black turtleneck. Also looks like a bastard. 10/10 definitely tumblr sexyman material

[rein-ette]

Hi~

Can I have your hcs for kinks and general unsuitable behavior for our tumblr sexyman Lord Kirkland? (bonus points for any time specific nsfw hcs)

Alrighty *cracks knuckles* this'll serve nicely as my entrance ticket to hell

[clearly this is Not Appropriate do you need a warning]

Positions and Locations

1. Incidentally I also think Arthur prefers to bottom, but in engport's particular case I don't think it matters because even if Arthur ends up topping more with Port, he gets his needs met by others (mainly Francis because Francis definitely prefers to top)

1a. technically speaking arthur has no preference when it comes to physically being on top or bottom, he just prefers prostate orgasms so if he does top he'll sometimes wear a plug or wait to come

2. From the 15th-18th centuries (give or take) he liked doing it in all sorts of thrilling places: ships, crows nests, prison cells, important people's offices, libraries, battlefields, random historical buildings. But nowadays he appreciates the material comforts more and likes a nice soft bed -- though he still has sex way more than is probably moral in his office/his partner's office

3. Bonus non-nsfw hc (i'll just sprinkle these in): I love the idea that Arthur dozes off really easily when he feels comfortable, like a cat. He might not even know he's comfortable, but he'll often fall asleep curled on Port's bedspread or on Francis' couch cuz it just feels floofy and familiar and his cat brain is like, ok naptime! In terms of sleeping arrangements he also feels safest when there's someone (he trusts) between him and the door -- Port is the only one to whom he's verbally confessed this (because he thinks it's embarrassing that he needs to be "protected") and Gabi has made it a point to remember this preference for centuries.

Sexual Orientation/Preferred Types

4. He's more into men than women, and tries to avoid women entirely when it comes to casual sex. He will sleep with nations he knows well like Belgium, Hungary, or some of the German states, but if it's picking someone up at a bar (which he did way more often in the 60s and 70s than now) it's definitely a guy.

4a. he usually goes for guys broader/stronger/taller than him so he can be held down and fucked silly. Not really into twinks (Kiku is an exception but that is cuz no one can match Arthur kink for kink like Japan)

5. I've already said this to you cake but it bears repeating: Arthur almost exclusively fucks drama queens. Never mind that he bitches about France's mercurial moods or Port's spontaneous "leave me alone" rants, guys like Norway or Germany just don't do it for him. Nor do the constantly cheerful ones like Italy or the constantly annoyed ones like Romano. He loves that melancholy aura, that "I'm not sulking I'm thinking" attitude, that maudlin je ne sais quoi at 4 AM. He wants them moody and slightly salty about everything, that's what he wants.

Kinks

6. Spanking, caning, flogging. Scot (or was it wales?) once described Arthur's sexual preferences in a fic as "alarmingly public-school for someone who's only attended university" and it doesn't get clearer than that. He loves being manhandled in general and while he will keep an eye open when he's with strangers or nations he doesn't know as well, when his frequent lovers indulge him he's down for anything that doesn't draw (too much) blood.

7. He likes bondage; both giving and receiving. Gags, spreader bars, the whole lot. He has a collection, right next to his riding crops ;)

8. Collars. COLLARS. He's not into actual pet play but he LOVES collars and if he's feeling especially freaky, leashes. It turns him on so bad whether he's the one wearing it or the one holding the leash.

9. Praise and humiliation both do it for him. He's one of the best when it comes to dishing it out (he's got the spewing filth while sounding prim and proper thing down to an art).

10. He appreciates toys and makes good use of Francis' extensive collection if he does not already own something himself. He often uses vibrators or dildos when he masturbates and brings them (always shamefully) with him when he travels, just in case. Port, who otherwise meticulously collects other knickknacks, does not actually possess that many toys because Arthur always brings them with him and Port's often too lazy to use toys with other lovers anyways.

11. He also has a profound competence kink. He expects the worst from everyone while keeping his own standards high, so when someone excels at something that blows his expectations out of the fucking water? He's all over that. Notable historical examples include when Francis is especially impassioned about a particular political cause and rinses someone in a debate, when a nation absolutely wipes the floor with another nation's army in a war (this was almost the exclusive reason he had sex with Gilbert in the 18th century), when Port teaches him new languages (their "lessons" are always longer than expected).

Other Unsuitable Behaviour For a Gentleman That Don't Classify as Kinks (Speed Round)

12. He has a very high libido but won't admit it

13. He loves it when Port wears lingerie

14. He wears tight, high waisted pants when he goes out at night bc he knows it makes his legs look good (but won't admit it)

15. When he's relaxed he's quite good at making conversation -- people often find him witty and pleasantly flirtatious

16. He loves riling Port up so he can get pounded the way he wants it

17. He likes large hands

18. Hairpulling is also a kink

19. I realized i titled this section not kinks but here we are

20. he used to have sleeve tats and tattoos all over his back and my god Francis and Gabriel worshipped him. He's too lazy (and stingy) to get so many nowadays though, especially cuz they fade so fast.

21. in threesomes he likes DP and spitroasting, especially if he's the one taking it

22. that was the filthiest sentence I've ever written so I'm gonna end this by saying he likes cuddles after sex but -- guess what? -- he won't admit it.

[adhdbisexualramblings]

Undertale/Deltarune famous Tumblr Sexyman platonic physical contact chart!

Last on the list is Spamton. If you try to touch him, he will bite you. I wouldn’t suggest it. He will definitely get up in your personal space though, with or without your permission

Next is Gaster. He probably wants physical contact, considering he’s been in The Void forever, but he isn‘t exactly hug material; he’s just a inky blob unfortunately

Sans! He will accept physical contact if he is warned about it beforehand, but even then he can’t fully relax

Last one: Jevil! Like Spamton, he will also invade your personal space far beyond comfortable boundaries, but simply to jump in your face and never for too long, so it’s manageable. He is a good cuddler, believe it or not

[theevilicecreamsoda]

What are your non wof OCs 👁️👁️

I never answered this I’m so sorry 💀

Anyways

Ima list them

Neal Foster: He’s the son of Lucifer and he’s like… really traumatized because he has to save the world at 16 cause his half-brother, Dolos(name may change) decided he liked the Other-Realm and Earth so much he stopped them from drifting apart or something but uh oh now dude’s stuck in limbo between worlds. Anyways Neal has nightmares cause his brother is like “DUDE HELP” but Neal is clueless until he gets portaled into the Other-Realm. I love Neal, he gets wings, horns, and a tail later.

Theodore G. Reaper: He’s the grim reaper. He’s old. He’s also gay. Old fruit. Anyways uhm his story and personality changes a lot from rp to rp. He used to be tumblr sexyman material though 💀💀💀

Lincoln: Rattlesnake! He’s yellow, like a banana. He’s also INCREDIBLY anxious. Everyone is mean to him 😔 His venom is also really strong and in past rps he would supply his venom to assassins despite being like… 12 😭

Charlotte Feathers: Raven lady. She’s big and strong like a raven. Butch lesbian vibes. Probably friends with Arch, they are wlw for mlm <3 She acts as a guardian to Lincoln

Arch: Gay, Snowy owl. He used to work for AHGC but now he doesn’t cause they’re assholes, also they punted Arch & Pat out of Heaven into the mainworld. Him and Charlotte: mlm🤝wlw. Also dating Pat

Pat: Part healer and part mad scientist, gay, barn owl. Also used to work for AHGC but after Neal escaped and caused problems him and Arch were fired. Now they live in a tree <3

Francis: Dickhead, I hate him so much… he’s horrible 😐 Manipulative and cunning, he manipulates Neal into working for him and doing some terrible stuff(basically think Scarlet and Peril from wof, like that). I think he was Southern in the past

Ath: Failboy living in a girlboss world, will describe him later

Elijah/Bliss: Ohh… problem causer. Very innocent but would definitely push you off a cliff if he needed to. He’s an asshole and works for AHGC but nobody knows yet lol

There’s more but I’ll list them later

[blogishdaj]

okay I just want to add: Blake doesn’t quite fall under the definition of a tumblr sexyman yet.

According to the the original sexypedia:

A tumblr sexyman, by the standards of this document, is a character considered questionable taste to onlookers of the disproportionately large group that considers them sexy. This is often as a result of canon/fanon divergence: onlookers are thinking of the character as they appear in the source material, and the group that finds them sexy are thinking of the sexyified fanon version. A good test is that if you can carry out the following interaction:

   Person A: People were disproportionately horny for [character].

   Person B: people were horny for [CHARACTER]?!?!

They’re probably a tumblr sexyman.

1: I’m fairly sure most Blake stans just love him as a blorbo/skrunkly (I sure do) and the Pact fandom isn’t big enough to assess if people are disproportionately attracted to him. There’s like a dozen active Blake Appreciators here on Tumblr.

2: Being attracted to Early Pact Blake isn’t that questionable since he’s a solid, Wildbow-protag-competent, conventionally attractive dude. Late-Pact Blake, probably.

He does however fit a good number of sexyman tropes and archetypes like Angst, Dealmaker, Duality, Knifemurder, Monster Features, Nonhuman, Pale Twink, Unkempt Man and Urban Legend Aesthetic. Given an appropriately large fandom, early/late pact Blake is prime Oncelerization material, and that’s without getting into the whole mirror/vestige thing with the original Thorburn heir.

So like, tumblr sexyman potential sure is there, and I’d certainly welcome a larger Pact fandom that would bring forth such status for our guy. But I think Blake is just a common skrunkly that more people need to acknowledge is canonically a fine looking man.

the existence of vecna simps is just further proof that if pact went mainstream, even bogeyman!blake has a good chance of becoming a tumblr sexyman
