[secondhandskootur]

Keep seeing folks on here shouting, "Old Man yaoi!!!" but the so-called "old men" are like... 45 years old. Yeah, no, that's not old man yaoi, that's middle aged man yaoi. I want my old man yaoi with actual old men, dammit

I didn’t even know i Followed you i was about to because your art is Well swagalicious

👍🏻

Ah, thank you so much! Here's another Geno sketch I did a while back because why not lol

[secondhandskoot]

personally i'm obsessed with your headcanon that quint is a superfan of moby dick and i'd love to know more about why you think he connects to the story so much

It mostly started as kind of a joke when I read about a scrapped scene in Jaws (which never came to be filmed) of Quint watching Moby Dick in a theatre and laughing maniacally at Captain Ahab's speech. I thought it was a funny concept so I decided to incorporate it into my own personal Jaws lore. And then I actually took the time to read Moby Dick and went, "Huh. Neat."

If you think about it, Jaws is fairly reminiscent of Moby Dick. Not so much so that I would consider it a retelling, but just enough that it's obvious that Peter Benchley (and probably Steven Spielberg too to some extent) took inspiration from it. Quint himself is similar to Captain Ahab, and the ending of Jaws (particularly the novel) has a lot of similarities to the ending of Moby Dick.

All that being said, it just makes sense to me that Quint would relate to Moby Dick to some extent. Quint himself is a seafaring individual -- one that most likely came from a family of even more seafarers and was introduced to the book at a relatively young age (either through a family member or someone he knew growing up). It was definitely something that grew on him over time though, rather than immediately after his first reading of it. The more life fucked him up, the more Quint came to appreciate Moby Dick and understand it. I also have this moderately fucked up headcanon that Captain Ahab was initially Quint's least favorite character when he was young -- so much so that he was moderately terrified of him -- only for Quint to later end up becoming Captain Ahab in a way.

Awesome artwork. I've been a huge Jaws fan my whole life. Quint is my favorite

Ahh, fellow Jaws fan! Thank you so much! Quint is definitely my favorite as well.

Working retail is so shit and soulless, actually. We had a tornado warning last night and were just... expected to go home in that. They had us hunker down in the safest location at work for a bit, and then just tossed us to the wind -- no pun intended -- like, "Okay get out of here and go home before it gets worse!" Nevermind the fact that some of my coworkers literally live right in the thick of where it was happening and would likely have to drive straight into that. I myself saw some shit on my way home; upended trees and power outages on entire street blocks, lightining flashing (luckily several miles away) in front of me and heard a tornado siren, which made me do full a u-turn. We were still under watch until some ungodly hour in the morning. I woke up not too long ago, and the weather is still really bad. We're still under a tornado watch and I saw lighting strike too close to my house for comfort twice. It's so bad that I don't feel safe driving and yet I'm just expected to drop everything and come to work at 8:45 regardless. I despise capitalism, dude. If they really cared then they'd close the fucking store.

What if on main I made a guide for how to draw Quint. Hypothetically, of course

[secondhandskoot]

My side blog got suspended out of the blue this morning

For mutuals: I was/am @secondhandskootur. I'm using this new blog temporarily until I can (hopefully) get that one back up and running. I got no email or warning about it and I'm 99.9% positive it was glitch because my main art blog is still up? I created a whole new account for this one though just to be safe. I didn't break any of Tumblr's tos so idk what else it could be.

[skooturmkdootlur]

I like your art :D hehehehe

Thank you so much! I've got some more stuff coming soon :)

[skooturmkdootlur]

woah i have 20 followers now that's pretty cool. thanks everybody

[secondhandskootur]

Gonna be so real for a second, my personal life has been insanely hectic lately and I haven't really been enjoying posting to tumblr (mostly because of that). I might try posting some jaws doodles on main if I feel up to it, though

[secondhandskoot]

Old Blog is Back

Hey all, so my original side blog, @secondhandskootur, has been resurrected from Tumblr Purgatory. I'll be keeping this blog up as an archive/backup in case Tumblr decides to try pulling more bullshittery, but I won't be using it like I have been.

[secondhandskoot]

Oh yeah I still have a bunch of Jaws cringe in the works that nobody asked for. And I'm going to post it whether I get my original side blog back or not

[secondhandskootur]

🦈 About Me! 🦈

I follow from @skooturmkdootlur (main blog where I post my art).

Skootur is my name, Jaws posting is my game. 23 y/o, any pronouns (most people use he/him for me), I don't really like gender labels but nonbinary/genderfluid if you must.

This is a side blog mainly for posting about Jaws, but I also occasionally talk about other stuff I like. Sometimes I reblog shitposts, too. You can find my original stuff by looking through #skootur text post. You can also send me asks if you're really dying to know more about me or my thoughts on certain topics.

Radfems, terfs, and any other bigoted/prejudiced individuals will be blocked on sight.

My asks are open to everyone, and dms are open to mutuals.

[skooturmkdootlur]

Adding something else to go on my pinned tweet: Since I want this blog to be exclusively art from now on, I've removed all of my non-art reblogs on main. I also created a sideblog for shitposting and rambling (and also cringe). It's @secondhandskoot if anybody wants to watch me go completely insane but from the safety of being behind a computer screen

skootur ref sheet with some info about him and doodles of him

[secondhandskootur]

Apologies everyone, work has had me crushed lately and I just haven't had as much time/energy to shout into the void about Jaws as I'd like.

I do have a Discord though if any mutuals wanna hmu over there (y'all can message me for jt, I really don't mind)
