Liking character is fun until you think about them and you just have to stare at nothing for a few minutes because of how tragic

And mauybe you are almost crying but you are having fun

[driftwithme]

give me a first daughter AU where Chuck is Australian Prime Minister (the movie is called first daughter idk how else to spin this) Herc Hansen’s angry son. and when Chuck starts his first year of college he demands Herc get rid of the security he got for him. that’s when Herc hires Raleigh to pretend to be a student and follow Chuck around

everyone knowsss Raleigh would do more than just bodyguard. Herc is mad at Raleigh when Chuck introduces him as his boyfriend but can’t do anything that would give Raleigh away.

think of the unfortunate “lucky charm secured” scene or Chuck crying about the whole situation later (very sad). or him trying to make Raleigh, who’s still assigned to him but now acting the proper visible bodyguard part, jealous by making bad life choices.

just throw Chaleigh and any plot of early 2000s romcoms into a blender

Commission scams v2

(Commission scams v2)

How it starts

(How it starts)

So you are a tumblr artist and you want to share your art into the void that is tumblr. You make a post, add the usual tags like ‘my art’, ‘artists on tumblr’, ‘digital art’, or event just ‘art’ in general. Then you hit post and watch it see how much attention your hard work will get. Maybe you even did a commission and your commissions are open so you may have even added ‘commissions open’ as an extra tag. Now you wait. Surely it’ll take forever to get any interest…But! Then you see it! A comment asking you if your commissions are open. It’s done within seconds of the post being made. What luck! You do have commissions open so you DM them because they asked you to.

How it works

(How it works)

Once you message the account they will then tell you they want you to draw their pet or a family member such as their son. But they won’t take any offered payment methods that you have listed in your commissions post that they saw. Instead, they will ask you what your email address is so they can send you the money that way. Might seem odd but they claim they just have issues with using the links you offer. But they promise a high payment for this simple commission so you give them your email address and wait for the payment to come through. Unfortunately something goes wrong. There’s a new email from ‘PayPal’ but it’s claiming there’s been a little problem crediting your account and that you need to pay to upgrade it in order to receive the payment. So you do as stated but somehow this isn’t enough. Now you don’t have money, you lost some money too, and the account you messaged is threatening to get the local law enforcement after you if you can’t send them the money back. You get scared and start to panic. So you keep sending money and more money but nothings happening. However, if you calm down and pay attention you’ll likely notice the real issue.

The fake PayPal email

(The fake PayPal email)

Upon closer inspection the ‘PayPal’ message you’ve received is fake and doesn’t come from the official PayPal email address. The account who contacted you is scamming you and has no intention to pay you and that’s why they won’t use any provided links. You’ve been scammed out of work and likely have lost more money than you wanted to lose.

What can you do to avoid this scam?

(What can you do to avoid this scam?)

When posting art always keep an eye out for these kind of spam bots. They’ll comment asking you to DM them or comment asking you to DM them if commissions are open. You will eventually notice the repetitive comments across multiple posts they like too. Do not contact these accounts and instead block them and alert other artists about them.

(If you find this guide useful, feel free to commission me for art! Just adding it so tags are relevant and also to show off any of these bots that target posts lol)

Hey guys, remember to take the time to engage with your favorite fanfic writers and fanartists.

In a world where everything is paid for, they are taking the time to give you art to enjoy for free. Don't take that for granted. Remember that art is made for spectators, so comment, share, create even if a little and no matter your actual skill level, just contribute to keep fandoms alive.

We need to take care of our communities more than ever, that's how humanity has survived for centuries. Take care of those who take care of you

“weird and unhealthy relationship that cant be categorized neatly as sexual or romantic or platonic but has a defining air of devotion and obsession to it” wins sound of the summer for the 13th year in a row

thisis so cool

[driftwithme]

I want to apologize to all the readers who don't have an AO3 account because I had to lock all my fanfics, given the latest scrape.

I have never consented to anyone to feed any of my writing to the IA and I'll never will.

[driftwithme]

I do not consent to my works being fed to AI. I have not nor will I ever consent. I don't consent to my words being submitted to AI. I don't consent to AI. Get it out of my fucking face.

[driftwithme]

yeah idk man maybe i just don't like it when characters whose whole story is about choosing to live and overcoming suicidal ideation end up dying in a hero sacrifice. kinda leaves a bad taste in my mouth, not gonna lie.
