Wow, that was super tame and not TMI at all, haha! If you wanna know TMI stuff, you can send me an ask and I’ll compile the questions later tonight and answer everything at once!
I hope that wasn’t super boring.
Thank you everybody for the countless nice and supportive messages. It means a whole lot. I’m happy to have realized that the hateful people are just a very small (but vocal) minority. There were even some people who told me they don’t like the idea of drawing porn that left me some kind words. It really meant a lot. Thank you.
Also, I gained like 100 new followers in the past 24 hours, so welcome all of you! I hope you enjoy your stay. I’m glad the posts reached some people who appreciate the art! Usually this blog is way less drama and text and way more drawings.
Anyways, Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays, everyone. Thanks for being awesome!

Thanks! I’m glad it made you laugh!
Yeh, they only use “he” and “it” in the movie! There were a few interviews, before the movie was released, that implied and once even outright stated by one of the producer that BB-8 is a girl. A couple of news outlets picked up on that and reported it. Then the closer it came to the movie release, the more conflicting info was out there. Some staff members of the movie called BB he, others said she but the majority referred to BB as male. And I’m pretty sure it’s canon now that BB is indeed male, just like R2. I remember JJ saying that they started out with BB as a girl but the longer they worked with it, the more they saw BB as a boy.
But it became such a big thing apparently, that multiple real life and internet media outlets reported on the “issue”, asking if BB is male or female and how important it is that she’s female (actual quote from The Guardian). Reporters started asking actors what they thought BB’s gender is, it became one of those questions that they asked each one of the main characters. Oscar Isaac (Poe) replied that he likes BB but didn’t check under the chassis, haha. And there was even a reporter on the London red carpet premiere, that asked the real life model of BB directly if it’s a boy or a girl. It moved it’s head down and beeped sadly in response.
Anyways, it was funny and bizzare, so many newspapers and other outlets were suddenly concerned about the gender of a Star Wars Astromech. And that’s when I decided to pitch in on the debate, haha. It’s no secret that I adore strong female characters and that I identify stronger with female characters as well,so I chose the “she’s a girl” side.
I still like to think BB is female. She’s round and cute and shows more expression than R2 and since The Force Awakens is big on female characters (there were some unnamed female Stormtroopers, awesome!) I like thinking BB is one of them as well. But in the end it is a very silly issue that doesn’t matter too much, BB is a droid!
The only Astromechs that I know of that are canonically confirmed female are Obi Wan’s red R4 in the prequels and the pink R2-KT that makes a cameo in The Force Awakens and was built in honor of a little girl that died of cancer a long while ago.
I might love Star Wars a little bit too much
PSA because someone with reach in certain tumblr circles found and reblogged my BB-8 post and I have a lot of nasty hate in my inbox now:
I don’t mind if you make fun of it or anything, at all! It’s super silly. It’s super weird. I understand! I think it’s weird myself, and I realize that it’s even weirder for someone who never has been in contact with any kind of rule 34 before. But the second it turns from making fun of it into harassing me (or even just people who dared to defend me) or sending me death threats is where it becomes a problem. Don’t be that guy. Nobody likes that guy. You don’t have to put others down to make yourself feel better.
Just because I draw a spherical droid from Star Wars with a fake vagina doesn’t mean I want to fuck said spherical droid. It also doesn’t mean that BB-8 arouses me. On the contrary, I think the character is super cute and most adorable, I don’t see anything sexual in it at all. I can’t believe how many people aren’t able to differentiate between reality and fiction.
Also, just because I drew said droid with a vagina instead of a dick doesn’t mean I’m a misogynist and/or rapist (Yes, people called me a rapist for drawing BB-8 with a fleshlight stuffed in one of her ports). Seriously, you can’t yell at me and call me a misogynist for sexualizing a female character and then tell me in the same message that droids don’t have a gender. At least decide why exactly you’re mad at me.
Also while you’re at it, please think about how a silly little drawing that was never meant to be more than a joke and meant to be fun makes you so mad that you feel justified to send Anonymous hate on Christmas. (Small reminder: this here is a porn blog, I draw porn for fun and about 10k followers follow me because they think cartoon porn is fun too, don’t kinkshame) Seriously, a drawing makes you mad. Do you even realize how that sounds? Are you self aware enough to realize that you’re judging someone for what’s essentially a doodle? A drawing you could just ignore or scroll past makes you mad to the point where you need to harass the artist and call for the artist’s suicide.
And maybe you should rethink your life if a drawing is able to make you this angry. I didn’t realize how many people on tumblr are so full of hate and just wait for the opportunity to jump at someone’s throat. It’s kinda pathetic, I can’t even imagine how miserable someone’s life has to be to be able to find joy in spreading hate. I usually stay away from those harassment circles and everything political or social justice related on tumblr because those topics tend to attract those kind of people on both sides. But today I fully understood why so many people say tumblr is toxic. It’s interesting how there’s this huge community of people here who are just drawing weird porn and having fun and then suddenly another group of people who also use tumblr realize the first community exist and immediately start screeching and throwing shit. Can’t we all just be mature about it?
Sorry to my followers for the huge wall of text. I thought about ignoring the haters, because obviously a lot of them just do it for the attention and ignoring it all would’ve definitely been the smarter move. But after thinking for a while and getting more and more messages I felt the need to write out my thoughts because some of them seriously think they’re on higher moral ground. Pro tip: The moral high ground isn’t a place from where you can throw stones more effectively.

Yeh, exactly! What a coincidence! Ah all those memories are resurfacing… I still have a crush on Misty all those years later, haha. And I kinda wanna draw some Pokémon porn now.

Nah. My dad doesn’t understand the internet, but he knows I did “some stuff with it” to make money on the side (mainly translation work and online poker back when I was still living with my parents). My mom knows I’m an artist and that I’m a vendor at pony conventions and that I was on the Babscon design team last year. But that’s it. I think it helps that I live 5.8k miles away from them, haha.
She found some Pikachu and Misty porn on my computer when I was a young teenager some 15 years ago or so, tho. So maybe she knows what’s up?
As for my extended family, I was never really close to any of them, so we don’t really know anything about each other.
But in general I don’t mind if people know. I’m pretty open about it, I don’t think it’s anything shameful. Sure it’s something weird, and it’s an interesting ice breaker in certain situations, but it’s also definitely nothing I would wanna shove down someone’s throat, you know? People who have no restraint and talk loudly about fetish porn stuff in an inappropriate environment (like at a pony convention next to my table with a kid five feet away from them) are almost as bad as people who hate and shame anything smut related.
Sorry guys, I have to help out my wife with an unexpected last minute job today and won’t be home for a while. So I sadly won’t be able to stream today. Our workshedules are crazy because of the holiday right now. I’m sorry! I’ll try to make up for it with multiple streams next week!
Small real life update: My wife and I got in a car accident. We’re both shaken up, but okay. Thankfully we weren’t hurt. My neck feels kinda stiff and her foot is hurting a bit, but it’s nothing we can’t deal with. Our car on the other hand didn’t fare as well, it looks pretty bad and we couldn’t get it to start. Highway patrol had to help pushing it out of the way and they called a tow truck for us. We’re still waiting to hear back from the insurance/mechanic about if it’s totalled or not. Here’s hoping we can get it repaired! Our poor car, we just got it a little bit over a year ago :( But yeh, apparently my wife made sure to get great insurance, so no matter what, we should be okay! That’s a big load off my mind.
Anyways, there’s a lot going on right now, we had to get a rental car because my wife needs to be able to drive for her business and things are understandably crazy right now. I probably won’t be available for the next few days, sorry about that!
But yeh, what a crazy experience, it all still feels so surreal, I was never involved in a car accident before. And I never saw so many first responders in person before. Please stay safe if you’re driving, it really doesn’t take a lot.
Anyways, I just wanted to let you guys know, since I’ve been awfully quiet in general the last few days and it’ll continue to be quiet for a bit. I’ve been working hard on an upcoming comic and other pictures and I hope to have something for you guys soon! Thanks for the patience.
My wife and I went whale watching yesterday to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we encountered a huge school of about 700 dolphins. It was absolutely amazing, they surrounded the boat and were super playful and everything. The youngest ones didn’t quite know how to jump properly yet, so they’d just flail around in the air. The adult ones were super graceful. They’re such cuties! I think I have to draw some dolphin porn again soon.
We also saw some hunchback whales and other interesting animals, but eh, they don’t compare to dolphins!
Anyways, I have some pony porn to post soon! Sorry again for being slow right now. There’s a lot going on in my life. Busy with the move, my best friend from Germany is visiting the states, and now the anniversary weekend and everything. And I just watched yesterday’s episode, it was cute! I liked seeing Rarity and Rainbow Dash as friends! And Rarity’s boutique in Canterlot seems to be doing well, that was nice to see.
I guess it’s Too Much Information Monday, or something, haha. If there’s something you always wanted to know about me, here’s the chance to get an answer! I’m in a mood to answer some questions. But I’ll collect them and answer all of them in one post in the evening, to not clutter up my blog or spam your dashboards.
Look what I found at Target! Awesome!
Applejack finally has a hat. <3
So apparently at the mlp panel at ComicCon, Ashley Ball said she likes the Appledash ship! Eeeeeee! I’m really happy I gave her one of my Appledash prints when I met her.
I should draw some Appledash. It’s been ages!
Aaaaah, I’m so excited! I love the new trailer! I got chills watching it. That music. <3 I can’t wait! Please don’t mess it up, JJ. Go check it out!
Today I got GTA V for PC and spent all my time and ingame money on buying clothes and dressing up my char and customizing cars… And now it’s time to go back to drawing.
Is anyone of you guys in an interesting crew? Also add me as a friend on the Rockstar Social Club if you wanna hang out together in San Andreas or something! That’d be fun. My nick is RatofDeath.
After pretty much 3 days of complete bedrest the fever and most pain is gone, yay! I still feel super tired, crappy and have trouble breathing tho. I really hope I’ll be back in working condition soon. Sadly my wife caught the same virus and is out of commission too :( Stupid sickness. I think next year I’ll get a flu shot.
I haven’t had a chance to check my Skype or anything at all, I’m sorry if you were trying to get a hold of me. I’ll hopefully feel better by tomorrow. I’m really sorry for the extra wait on commissions and patreon pictures this has caused.
Thanks for understanding!
