Pretty sure he’d crumble into a shuddering pile of terrified bones in any circumstance, especially if you did that to him before the events of AUT. CotS Red, maybe wouldn’t go stiff in fear, but he’d still be Not Ok with it.

Can I hug Red from An Unpaid Tab? Like, go back in time to before the events of the story and hug Red? He's my favorite interpretation of Underfell Sans, and possibly my favorite Sans version of all

I greatly appreciate your ask and I'm sorry to respond late(I think?)

I would suppose you could but he had major trust issues- and probably still does. @flamefiends what do you think?

[flamefiends]

You guys missed the best part though

proper response.

Today I learned about the Valais Blacknose sheep. I think I’m dead of cute.

Was it D&D that popularized the image of Clerics, Paladins, and other holy warriors using blunt weapons like maces and hammers? And if so, why do you think that trope seems to have stuck?

It can be argued that D&D popularised the trope in the sense of bringing it to the attention of the broader public, but it didn’t originate it, no. The “clerics can only wield blunt weapons” thing is basically a medieval history in-joke.

In a nutshell, throughout much of Western European history, it was common for the second sons of noble houses to enter the priesthood, and many priests were themselves significant landowners. This created an incentive for priests to take to the field in times of war, which the Church regarded as a conflict of interest. The Church attempted - unsuccessfully - to curtail this behaviour by issuing edicts forbidding members of the clergy from shedding blood.

There are apocryphal stories of various priest-commanders - most notably Odo of Bayeux (yes, as in the tapestry) - attempting to circumvent these edicts by wielding clubs (which technically don’t shed blood) in battle. There’s little historical evidence that these stories are true, but they’re popular enough that basically any medieval history buff would know them - and D&D’s creators were, to a man, medieval history buffs, so the trope entered into D&D via clerical weapon proficiency restrictions as a sort of inside joke.

Tormenting children is the design, not the flaw. Secretary Nielson will go down in history as true evil. She was warned of the risks to children and sadistically kept the same plan.

For everyone’s information:

The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.

To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.

On the 17th, dead silence.

People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.

But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.

What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is ‘oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’

A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.

If you want to join in, here’s what to do:

Do:

Close all open instances of the app and site on all your devices before the 17th

Make posts before and after the 17th on tumblr and other platforms, talking about why this ban is bad

Make posts on other sites during the 17th. Flood the official tumblr staff twitter and facebook with your anger and your opinion

Come back on the 18th and check in

Don’t:

Delete the app from your phone (this doesn’t affect their revenue and since it’s off the store at the moment it’ll be hard to get back)

Delete your account. I mean you can if you want to, but if you keep your account and don’t use it you’re saying to staff that there’s still time to save it. If you delete it’s hard work to come back.

Open the app or website (including specific blogs)

Make any posts (turn down/off your queue and make sure nothing is scheduled)

Go quiet elsewhere. Make it clear that this is just about tumblr, not a mass move away from all social media.

Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.

Protests take commitment. They’re a defiant action against a business that is doing something wrong. They will try to scare you into not participating, because they’re scared. We hold all the power here, sometimes the execs just need to be reminded of that.

So long, everyone. Remember, don’t look at tumblr after December 17th or you’ll turn into a pillar of salt.

O’ Tumblr (a parody of Hellfire) Sung by Codot

Lyrics: Community Guidelines, you know I am a righteous man, of my content I am justly proud, Community Guidelines, you know I’m so much purer than, the filthy child porn producing crowd.

Then tell me, O Tumblr, why the whole of us must pay, Why the porno bots can’t be controlled? I see them, I block them, their posts no longer linger there, So why are we the ones that you must scold?

O Tumblr! Damn Tumblr! The Tumblr that had been, Would never allow this! Why purge my harmless sin?

It’s not our fault! We’re not to blame! It is the Russian bots and monsters who should pay! It’s not our fault! You made a plan! Where women’s nipples are more hunted than the Klan!

Protect us, O Tumblr, Don’t just become an Apple drone, Don’t let monopoly control your mind.

Don’t punish creators,  Or we will find another home, Where we come first and aren’t left behind.

GUARD: Waiting4Codot, your post has been flagged. CODOT: What? GUARD: The puppies were mistakes for female-presenting nipples. CODOT: But how? Nevermind. Get out you idiot. I’ll find a better website if I have to burn down all the internet.

Oh Tumblr! Damn’d Tumblr! Now staff the time has come, Choose us the creators, or see your site undone.

Please just reconsider, Staff have mercy on me, Let Tumblr be ours or it will burn!

And yes, I know that, as a voice actor, I won’t be IMMEDIATELY affected, but a LOT of my friends will be, and that frustrates me. Also, it’s only a matter of time before someone makes a horrendous audio post and (given their current behaviour) they wouldn’t even police audio; they’d just get rid of it.

Numbered days, folks.

Like the song? It’s available for download on my Patreon (and yes, the track is FREE).
