"That was hysterical. Your masculinity is so fragile that MY nail polish upsets you? That's why I wear it all the time now." - Neil "not a therapist" Newbon

from Kal via @ CheekyLilPupp on twitter

I've been trying to practice caricatures, but if I'm honest when I drew Neil Newbon, I couldn't bring myself to make him look anything other than cute because I am first and foremost a fucking simp.

I will try to make him look a bit pointier next time 🫠

People do not talk enough about how amazing Lae'zels voice acting is. Devora Wilde put her whole ass pussy into some of those lines but nobody pays attention and calls laezel one note and angry. But have you listened? Have you heard her voice shake as she cries "what good - this heart of stone - for it to be shattered?" Have you heard the conviction where she declares that Vlaketh has sinned against her? Have you listened to the fear in her voice, the slight tremble when she is talking of becoming a mindflayer and the way that she has utter awe in her tones when she experiences something that is truly spiritual to her? Like. It's such a subtle and great performance.

Hello?

SIR!

SIR PLEASE! PLEASE CALM DOWN!

And there we go, first companion quest we officially finished! Neil's performance was just as good as everyone said it was.

Neil and his partner serving serious looks

"Everyone's been talking about who they would ship Astarion with..."

Neil: Ship...?

Okay, but I actually love how he addressed this, because it makes total sense. Astarion is for everyone 🩷

you know what sometimes self-care is just straight up blocking someone who erases a character's canon pansexual identity

Our favourite mocap actor, Josh Wichard / TAV 1, strikes again.

Also he sends his love.

im insane about the way you draw the lines in astarion's face. he looks so hot with them and i feel like a lot of artists don't include those details but you *chef's kiss*

Do go on! <3

Look, I'm a horny degenerate as much as the next person, but can we not use a voice actors' hard work to make fucking AI generated audio smut????

It's so incredibly gross and fucked up.

Would you use pictures of someone to make AI generated porn??? no?? IT'S THE SAME THING.

Gods forbid if Neil saw the Astarion one that caused me to stop scrolling and write this post. Fuck, y'all, stop and think.

Any excuse to draw Astarion and an attempted first at Gale.

about Neil Newbon fandom

My native language is not English so if you find grammar error please forgive me.

So here is the thing about Neil Newbon. He is a real person in a real world with a real life. And he works as an actor/artist. For money. Also, I can imagine he is working for fun, but first, for money. His work contains impersonations of fictional character's voices and movements. And also it contains keeping touch with fans. When he streams he is not your friend or boyfriend and he is not an object, he is working. You don’t know shit about him, you just collect the crumbs of his public persona. And as somebody who works in customer service i can tell, it can be different from the real person. I can be flirtatious if it serves the cause, even if I don’t exactly like the people in front of me. I can smile, I can be kind and helpful, I can listen, I can make them seen. And the next moment I can do the same with the next customer. And It's not a lie it’s not manipulating, I just use my customer service persona. And sometimes the stories what i hear can touch me. It is a tiring mental work, it can be overwhelming sometimes as well. So when you buy his prints or cameos, you don’t buy him, or his friendship. You just buy a piece of art, and you can think you buy to be seen for a moment. But if you have to buy to be seen by someone, better find a counselor or a therapist as he always suggests in those videos. If you play BG3, and romance Astarion, there is a scene where he tells you his favorite lines, and at some point he tells you „I love you”. And if you choose „it is to soon” he tells you it can be true if only for this night. That’s what you get from Neil, his attention for that moment. If you watch his streams you can notice people pay to write messages that can be mentioned by him. That’s working for money. Even, if he enjoy it. And I’m not against supporting his work, but please don’t use him as a therapist, or sex object. 

Also about the thirst. I’m a fully functioning woman, so I’m not denying that he is attractive and sexy, and the edits on tiktok about him can be really dirty. I feel ashamed when I see them even if they can affect me. Again, those pictures and videos are not him, those are his roles. Even if they are from interviews, or from public events. Those are the characters played by Neil. (And yes, there can be a character for Neil Newbon as a public person.) Not him. Please try to contain yourself, don’t embarrass yourself and don't objectify him, or anyone else. It’s humiliating. You can bring back the energy to your real life with your real partner, it could make your relationship better. Be aware, what you see isn't Neil, it is his art. How would you feel if somebody used a piece of art from you to look at you as a sex object? How would your partner feel about it? What do you think, how his wife feels about it? Or how will his daughter feel when she sees them?

And last. If you claim you “Love him” and then feel happy about that made up scenario as he is single, you don’t know about love at all. First of all, how could you love somebody you don’t know? What do you love about him? I can tell you, you love your imaginations about him. And it’s a form of avoiding real relationships when you love fictional and/or unavailable persons. You don’t have to face real emotions, if you chose that path. But it is not real. It’s a maladaptive coping mechanism. But If we accept theoretically that you “Love him”, and you tell you are happy because his marriage ended and he is single, that also isn’t love. It’s more like possessing. (And I can’t even tell if it’s true or just made up by some twisted mind.) Do you really think love means being happy for someone being unhappy? Do you really think if he is single then a person like you, with your mindset can be a real pair for him? Keep your dignity please, and let the real person keep his boundaries.
