when the body trots on

passed a memorial on my morning trot today. buckaroo about my age, lots of flowers. went to his instagram to learn his way and it was just packed full of photos with buds and good times. you strip away the body and all thats left is love. sad but also very beautiful and important

[drchucktingle]

this was a comment on one of my post from a recent live event. it was photos of joyful queer buckaroos celebrating together and proving love is real through creation, community, and a trot of love. most important I AM LITERALLY IN PHOTO AS A REAL FLESH AND BLOOD HUMAN

it got me thinking about how DEEP AND VICIOUS the irony poisoning of these early internet communities goes. the way buds like this cannot fathom someone just being a sincere person unrelated to their OWN old days of cynical posting. it is fascinating, and i will admit, sad too

despite a DECADE of work, countless live events, 350 tinglers written well before large language models were a thing, there are still people who cannot imagine someone like me could exist. it is a strange place to be. not just part of me, but my entire EXISTENCE is often gatekept

it is easy to say ‘well chuck your art IS strange’ but honestly i think it is more than that. magical realism is common. there are stories about dinosaurs and bigfeet and unicorns. this scoundrel reaction is about two unspoken things: my art is neurodivergent, and my art is queer

heres the thing: I WILL BE FINE. what concerns me is not an issue of MYSELF, it is a concern for the other young outsider buckaroos who see comments like this one and think ‘is that what they will say if i express MY unique way? will i be dehumanized like this at every turn?'

i will be honest, i cannot say that WONT happen, but i CAN say this: for as deep as this irony poisoning goes, it is slowly dying. the way i was treated at the start of my career is LIGHTYEARS DIFFERENT from the way i am treated now. there is a massive shift towards sincerity

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY. to young artists trotting up, the things that i am harassed over and doubted for and made fun of for are NOT tangental to what has made me successful, THEY ARE LITERALLY THE SAME THINGS THAT HAVE MADE ME SUCCESSFUL. YES I AM STRANGE, WHAT OF IT?

the things that you tuck away for fear of a review that says ‘there is a PROBLEM with this art because it has always been done another way’ THOSE ARE YOUR SUPERPOWERS. the gatekeepers want you to tuck those parts of yourself away because THEY TUCKED AWAY THOSE PART OF THEMSELVES

never forget that your unique way is PURE UNFILTERED 100 PERCENT ROCKET FUEL. it will stick out (maybe, if you are lucky, scoundrels will even say that someone like you could never actually be real), but sticking out isnt so bad when you are waving the flag of love.

in fact, when youre waving the flag of love, sticking out is pretty dang cool. what are flags for, after all? LOVE IS REAL BUCKAROOS. thank you for reading, and if you enjoyed this long post then please consider preordering BURY YOUR GAYS.

Hello Dr. Tingle - I was looking at your merch store and I was wondering if you would ever put out shirts that focus on the buckaroo lifestyle (ex: shirts that say “I’m a true Buckaroo” or “Let’s Trot Buckaroos”) or shirts that focus on your motto “Love is Real” (ex: shirt in your signature pink that say “Love is Real” across the front)? I’m sure myself and other Tinglers would be interested (no pressure though! Feel free to put out any merch you desire! Your work is fantastic and such a joy!)

HERE YOU GO BUCKAROO

honestly it is dang ridiculous that it took me this long to get a quality 'love is real' shirt up there so here you go

LOVE IS REAL T-SHIRT IS HERE

Day 111: Saturday Pounds Me In The Butt

The thing I appreciate most about this tingler is that Saturday is working a regular job in addition to carrying out his role as a day of the week. It's a nice subtle acknowledgment that while people on a normal weekday schedule, like the protagonist, enjoy Saturday as a day they can go off on fun excursions, there are always people working to make a lot of those fun weekend activities possible.

To people on the monday-friday work week, Saturday is the day where it seems like you can do anything, you have all the time in the world. That's the feeling this tingler captures. The protagonist and Saturday, his rafting instructor, end up on an unplanned path, and the nature of that free weekend day lets them enjoy diverting from their course as an extra fun adventure in their day.

sneaking up on the line in texas with a surprise LOVE IS REAL

[drchucktingle]

it feels bad to have someone say ‘we will not accommodate your unique way in our space’. that is what the texas library association did to chuck

the thing is, WE have the power to create our own spaces. sometimes that space is SO SMALL, just one cubic foot inside of a pink mask, and sometimes that space is a whole ballroom full of buckaroos cheering and laughing and proving that LOVE IS REAL

thank you to true buckaroos MARK OSHIRO and TJ KLUNE for creating that space with me last night. thank you to NOWHERE BOOKSHOP and BONHAM EXCHANGE and JENNY LAWSON for hosting, and thank you to NIGHTFIRE for going along with this wild idea when chuck said ‘hey if the dang TXLA does not want unique buckaroos inside their convention, then lets have our own across town’

every day there are strong forces pushing back against love, but when we trot together we can make spaces where love thrives

Peter is having trouble focusing at his new bowling alley job, but that’s alright. Working the night shift, he doesn’t have to deal with many customers, and he finds the rumors of a resident ghost to be more exciting than frightening.

Eventually, the only bowler left on Peter’s shift is a handsome sentient bowling pin named Tyson. The two of them hit it off, and soon enough they’re enjoying a game together… a game that quickly takes a turn for the erotic.

But there’s more to this encounter than meets the eye. Looks like it might not just be the bowling alley that’s getting haunted tonight, but Peter’s ass, as well.

This erotic tale is 4,000 words of sizzling human on gay sentient bowling pin action, including anal, blowjobs, rough sex, and undead bowler love.

this is why they call chuck a master of horror. please enjoy new tingler THIS HANDSOME SENTIENT BOWLING PIN SPLITS MY ASS ALSO HE IS A GHOST out now on amazon and true buckaroo tier patreon
