It’s fanart and ships galore!

In the game Deadlock, the longing for the Doorman character is palpable. Following its August update, player numbers have significantly increased since the game’s early release phase, and people can’t help but express their affection for this unique character.

Deadlock players thirst over Doorman

Ever since Doorman made his debut, numerous enthusiasts have expressed their admiration for him on various social media platforms. Notably, on X platform, several artists including sillystr1ngz, Chosentragedy, thejoxaren, and Soukoku4life showcased their fan art of him.

The character everyone seems infatuated with is the charming Doorman.

On Reddit, KrakenMasterOfficial proposed that the character Doorman should be recognized as a “Tumblr Heartthrob” because of his broad popularity. Users FinalMonarch and Supershadow30 also discussed the criteria for a Tumblr Heartthrob.

Is Doorman the new Tumblr Sexyman?

A Tumblr Sexyman is typically characterized by being tall, impeccably dressed, enigmatic, and undeniably a twink. He might even possess extraordinary abilities. In the game Deadlock, Doorman possesses a unique talent called Doorway, which enables him to transport from one portal to another. Notably, these portals appear in two distinct colors: orange and blue, reminiscent of Portal-style portals.

In simpler terms, Supershadow30 mentioned several attractive male characters found on Tumblr, such as the Once-ler from The Lorax, Sans from Undertale, Loki from the Marvel films, and Alastor from Hazbin Hotel.

As a passionate gamer, I’ve noticed that Tumblr Sexymen often strike a chord with people who enjoy exploring romantic pairings between characters. This practice is commonly known as “shipping,” and it’s quite prevalent in diverse fandoms like Overwatch 2 and Arcane.

All that seems lacking is an overwhelming level of fan support, which I expect will develop over time, according to Supershadow30.

Deadlock ships

In reference to the topic of fan art, followers of the Deadlock series have been posting artwork depicting pairings between Doorman and other characters on platforms like X and Tumblr ever since the character’s debut. One such pairing we’ve encountered is called Driftdoor, which combines the characters Drifter and Doorman.
