Harry is wiping down the front counter when he notices the boy staring at him.

Full blown, wide-eyed staring—an amusing expression on a precocious boy no older than twelve or thirteen at most, with warm brown irises and a head of cute, lolling curls that must have taken his mother ages to style.

“Hello,” Harry says in a friendly way, giving the boy a little wave.

No response, though a flush of pink seems to be steadily spreading across the boy’s soft, round cheeks.

“Are your parents around?” Harry asks, now cautious, glancing around the mostly deserted parlour.

The boy coughs. Clears his throat with a tiny harrumph that sounds more cricket than croak. “No.” His chest puffs up, his chin tilting with pride. “My father lets me go around on my own.”

Not a reassuring answer, though the use of ‘father’ draws Harry’s attention to the boy’s clothes—definitely posh, from his fancy branded polo shirt to his little leather loafers.

“Wow,” Harry says, pretending to be impressed. “You know, I think I used to run around my neighbourhood at your age.” The Dursleys never batted an eye if he came home late, and probably wouldn’t miss him if he never came home at all. “How old are you?”

The flush is more prominent now, a pretty pink-red that creeps towards the shirt collar.

“Fifteen.”

That’s absolutely a lie. Harry nods like this makes perfect sense, never mind that this kid probably couldn’t even sit in a booth without his feet dangling over the floor.

“Did you want some ice cream?” Harry asks. If he keeps this boy here, at least he’ll be safe until the parents show up.

“My name is Tom,” says the boy. His keen eyes narrow in on Harry’s plastic name tag. “Nice to meet you, Harry.”

The way Tom says his name—Harry—is perfectly polite. Rich kid with manners.

In case I’m misinterpreting your newest post, are you leaving the blog next year? It’s your choice ofc!! I respect any choice you make. But I just want to make sure I’m understanding right (I’ve got major goldfish brain today, my apologies)

You are not interpreting it wrong dear Anonymous.

Over the last year I have been struggling behind the scenes, I do not wish to go into details; but it has something to do with the fandom. Quietly I have lost my spark and creativity to work with these characters and story threads without it feeling like pulling teeth.

And that brings little joy to writing.

I wish to go out on a high, so I am dedicating a year and a half to having as much fun as possible. This lovely community of mine has fostered my love for writing that disappeared years and years ago; so I will finish all that I have promised.

A part of me hopes that the spark and excitement returns full force, but I do not feel like I can count on it happening any longer.

So for now, yes, come autumn next year I will no longer be as active on here with Volterran-Wine as I have been. Rest assured, this blog nor it's content will ever be deleted; that also goes for A03. I would never take anything away from this fandom.

ISRAEL HAVE STARTED BOMBING RAFAH! THE PLACE THEY INSISTED WAS A SAFE REFUGE FOR THE PEOPLE OF GAZA! ALL EYES ON RAFAH!

[adorkastock]

DeviantArt used to be the place I put new poses up three times a week. It was the best place to get consistent updates of new poses from me.

BUT NOW! I have a self-hosted gallery on AdorkaStock.com 🥰 It's a WIP (and there's a lot of work to do) but I like having my poses on my own site. 😌

You can sign up for my newsletter and get an email digest of new poses each week or once a month so you don't have to always remember to go check for what's new. My long term goal is to have this gallery completely replace my DA archive. Reasons for this move include: - DA's enthusiastic support for AI - DA removing categories making it nearly impossible to search for CC licensed images - not being beholden to DA's future random TOS and API changes

Your support helps with this goal. ♥ Ways to support: - Share my work with other artists! - Support me on Patreon for just $1/mo - Shop my Kofi store for pose ref packs and merch Get all my links at my Link Hub. 🥰 Thanks so much for your support and happy drawing!

lmao tumblr letting their users choose whether or not they want their likes to be public but then pulling a twitter 2.0 and showing your likes on your followers’ dashboards and specially saying who liked the posts in their new update, without the users’ consent or a way to turn it off, is actually pretty insane.

like how many times to we — the users — have to tell them we don’t want tumblr to be like any other social media platforms and that tumblr’s being different than twitter, instagram, tiktok is actually what makes us stay on this silly little site.

respectfully @staff you’re driving your users away. stop trying to “fix” things that are good and don’t need to be fixed. we want tumblr to be tumblr. we don’t want the site to be twitter or instagram 2.0

edit: so at first I was under the impression that you could turn off the “posts liked by blogs you follow” in your dashboard preferences, but couldn’t control how your own likes showed up on the dashboards of your followers, after I saw several posts claiming that this was the case. — however, now I think I might be wrong and it thankfully does look like as long as you have your likes set to private, they will stay private and will not be showing up on your followers’ dashboards. apologize for any misunderstanding this may have caused.

* from my understanding now, you can choose not to see other people’s likes by going to your dashboard preferences in the settings and turning off the “posts liked by blogs you follow” option, and if you have your own likes set to private, they won’t be showing up on your followers’ dashboards.

21 December 2023

The situation worsens at the besieged Palestine Red Crescent ambulance dispatch center discussed here. PRCS reports that contact with the staff of the facility has been severed due to the IOF sabotage of telecommunications. However, other witnesses report a disturbing turn of events.

The IOF has now fully raided the ambulance dispatch center. They arrested all members of the medical and rescue teams, and have taken them to an undisclosed location. Within the center are still trapped many women and children, as IOF continue besieging the facility.

"quite a lot of you!" - Neil

[staff]

We heard you.

Recently, we experimented with swapping out the locations of the profile and TumblrMart icons in the iOS app. We monitored your feedback through your posts, questions to @wip, comments and reblogs on @changes and @emporium posts, and so on. You didn’t like the update, so we’ve changed it back.

We heard you loud and clear. The profile icon has returned to the lower right corner of your iOS app.

This change was originally intended to inform you about the new features we are releasing to help Tumblr move toward profitability. However, we recognize that this was too big a change to how many of you use Tumblr on iOS. You are Tumblr. You’re the most important voice in the room, and we hear you.

We know this has been frustrating for many of you. To thank you for being patient and understanding, we’re offering this coupon code for items in the Tumblr Shop: use code OURBAD for 10% off on all products here. You can also use code OURBAD on all digital TumblrMart products except Ad-Free when purchasing on web. This code can be used once and is good for a limited time.

Thanks as always for your feedback, [tumblr].
