ArcRoyale's Personal Stories #1
Today represents my 24th birthday. It's a day I share with my boss, Leonardo McDowell, better known as Darkton93. As such, I'd like to take a moment to talk about myself a bit, and how I got here.
When I was four years old, I grew up on Fox Kids, which included Power Rangers and the Spider-Man cartoon show. One villain I was enthralled with was Venom, but since all I saw of him was the intro, I assumed he was just a snarling monster. I got my first glimpse of the comic Spidey was based off when I got the issue that concluded the story with Carnage's introduction, and learned so much! Venom could talk! Venom had another like him! Venom and this other were humans wrapped in slime creatures!
And the humans inside? Weren't wearing anything underneath.
I was still fascinated by nudity just a little bit back then, though that did guide me quite a bit. I had a similar experience watching Dragon Ball Z as a kid, whenever Gohan would turn into a monkey monster, he would always turn back to normal naked. Something about that seemed to excite me just a little bit.
Still, I proceeded along my days as if nothing went wrong. There was the ever-naked Dexter, the bathing Powerpuff Girls, and the bath scene in Totoro. I paid none of it mind, and only really minded when things didn't show too much for girls. Then, during a chance marathon of PPG episodes I never saw before, I saw the episode "Nano of the North", which featured the PPGs in an embarrassing nude situation.
As fascinating as the episode was then, it was even more fascinating when I truly got to know the website DeviantArt. I discovered the artist Seiryuga, and saw his pictures of the Powerpuffs getting attacked by nanobots for humor like that episode. All was fun and good... until DA banned underage nudity even intended for humor, and the PPG pics and others like it got taken down. When I found another nano pic, I made sure to save it to my hard drive, eventually forming my initial collection of Examples when I started to keep more.
Seeing young girl nudity be censored or nonexistent more often made me fascinated by it, but that fascination took horrifying heights when I stumbled across the website Sankaku Complex. Now, I'd had it in my head that even drawn child porn was illegal, but that website showed all kinds of lurid pornography involving little girls. And mixed with all of it were some good pictures, so I had to wade through the filth all the time, all while making sure my parents never found out about it.
Sadly, they did. And I ended up having a bit of a damaged relationship. They kept stumbling upon the stuff, and each time I had to say I wouldn't do it again. They were from the 1960's, you see, and just the kind of people to think I was doing it for sexual purposes. The stuff was censored, of course, so they knew I had a good heart, but they seemed to take it as a sign I needed to get a girlfriend rather than a personal fascination.
I later stumbled across a secret society that recognized that female nudity was always sexual, and that young ones were hard to find. One particular member always expressed his distaste, saying it demeans men by casting their suffering in a humorous light, which, as a man, he didn't want. Sadly, the society no longer exists, or is at least temporarily disbanded, which means I lost those contacts.
Which is a shame, because through those contacts I met up with Darkton. He always seemed so angry, so I tried my hand to pacify him. He seemed a little confused, too, and shared similar thoughts with me. The guy wanted to run a bit of a business, and so he hired me. For this secret society, I published my first commission: the Bart and Lisa picture. It went over well, and the business became full-time for Role Reversals.
I talked to some friends about starting a Tumblr, and so decided to post one in the summer of last year. My parents caught up with me and said to stop altogether, but a talk with my psychologist (I often see psychologists, and talk to them about this so it doesn't become a problem) convinced everyone I could use the blog to shatter inequality, so I restored everything to before, now with the help of Darkton to supply my business.
And that's where we come in. Thanks for a great time, everyone! Here's to another several!
