Pastimes for a Retired Papa

Pastimes for a Retired Papa (NSFW)

The Papas were not murdered they all just moved away from the main base of the Ministry to enjoy their retirement. Primo is definitely in the place that has the best gardens tending to his beloved plants. Secondo moved to a bustling city where he could party to his heart's content.

But what of Terzo? Papa III, so dedicated to the proliferation of the female orgasm. Where would he choose to spend his retirement?

You, a stressed and overworked woman who has just been recommended the services of The Ministry's Spa Resort, may be about to find out.

The New Years Party (NSFW)

When your work organises a New Years Eve party to thank you all for your hard work there is only one person you want to take as your plus one.

Sam and the Series of Disastrous Dates (WIP)

Sam has watched her new best friend fall in love with the man of her dreams but when will it be her turn? We follow Sam on some of her dating adventures and see if she will ever meet her own dream man.

Yeah, I'm not taking this sitting down. Man, I really am not trying to have beef out here, but I refuse to have my good fucking name tarnished. To make a public post about me? Yeah, I'm going to share my side. The facts are as such:

I approached wolf on 12/20/23 about a NSFW commission inspired by one of their works. It would feature my sona and an aged up Donnie. As they mentioned, our initial conversation was good. We went back and forth during the sketch phase and I requested quite a lot of edits. I asked if I could pay them for these corrections.

it was right after this that wolf asked about Donnie's battle shell since it wasn't illustrated.

After this message, I did not hear back from wolf after 2/9/24 until I sent them a follow-up message 3/27/24

I did not hear back from wolf until today 5/6/24.

Now I cannot share the images of the art I received because it is NSFW, but I can tell you that the grey from my sona's body appeared to be missing. The ears of my sona were grey, but the body only looked yellow. Donnie was missing his purple arm marks, and his knee pads were still the same only now they were colored in black along with his mask. From here I will just send the conversation in its entirety.

For reference, this was the reference sheet they had.

I was then sent two pieces where the grey on my sona was very obvious and Donnie's markings were now present with the following text.

Now again, I wish I could show you the pieces, but I can't. I was offered a 50% refund for my troubles, but I was not interested in taking it because wolf had already done all the work.

I will say that I was extremely frustrated with the whole affair so the next part I will admit was a bit salty because while corrections had been made, I wasn't able to give any input so there were still mistakes in my sona's colors (specifically the underside of the tail was yellow instead of white and my grey arm had one side yellow) and Donnie's mask was still black. The following is our last correspondence on my blog.

This would have been the end of it for me. Except, I did not get the email. I waited in hopes it would come in, but none did. Since I was blocked I was forced to reach out from one of my side blogs @thisgoesouttoyoubaby which feel free to check. it's my reblog sideblog that I use to send my bestie memes. It dates back YEARS and is not used for spam.

As you can see I was blocked here.

Now I have been refreshing my email feed waiting. I know emails can take time, but I have no way to confirm if I'm getting my work because I was immediately blocked on thisgoesouttoyou with no response.

So I used another sideblog, this time @plowingon which you can again, freely search, its not a spam blog, but a blog I once made to record the live of my old german shepherd I had years ago when he was getting older.

And wouldn't you know it, I got my first email from wolf at

Coincidentally, only after I sent my last message to them.

Now I'm not interested in hurting wolf's reputation. I think you should still commission them if you'd like. I still am a fan of their art. I have no ill will, but fuck if I will stand by as someone tells me that I won't pay an artist. I never even said i wouldn't pay. I was just frustrated because they wouldn't follow their own three correction rule. They allowed me no recourse, and then they were petty before I could even confirm that I received the email.

Could I have been nicer?

Of course.

Could I have been more clear?

Absolutely.

But there is no world in which I tried to gaslight anyone. I pride myself on my honesty. I was not shy when paying them. I sent payment before we even began. I offered to pay them more and acknowledged I was a needy customer halfway through. So I apologize for this long post, but I wanted to make sure all of this was visible because how dare you call me a scammer, wolf.

You disappoint me.

[babyrdie]

there was a post that you reblogged on another blog about how it would be possible for achilles to hide in skyros with the typical clothes of his time and you commented that the things you said were based on research you did to draw your design. i tried searching your tag to see if you had posted that design but the only art you posted doesn't show much of the clothing. that's why i wanted to ask if you don't have any other art in which mycenaean clothing is more visible! every skyros achilles i see is in peplos, so i was curious to see him in mycenaean clothes!

Here your Mycenaean Pyrrha!

My art style has changed since last time, so it might not be what you had in mind, but here it is! It's also not the same outfit as the other drawing, but that's because that first outfit was made simpler because the focus wasn't on it and I wanted something more effortful this time.

Personally, I liked this version more because I made him look more like a teenager, which matches the age that the sources give for Achilles in Skyros As I said in the post you read, I think it's a key factor as to why he was able to be among the girls there without being discovered for a considerable time.

If you have another request, don't feel shy! Like I said, I have no problem accepting requests. But this time I was so quick only because it's something I already had an idea about before, I can't guarantee speed for the other requests!

Scammer & mistakes were made

I took a little too long to get to this post & made the mistake of humoring this scammer.(Link to scammer)

Please do not interact with them(I already made that mistake) just report them.

I deleted this cause I was stupid enough to think whoever this is wasn't a scammer for the simple fact they started messaging me. To be fair there were a few times I blocked/reported people by mistake cause they're new & didn't know about the spambots but this was red flags cause her account didn't even show her art.

After talking to me whoever this is posted this as proof they had a project.

Here is a links to the person this scammer stole the art from.(LINK1)(LINK2, not the same image as the one on the left but all the paintings are the same)

Now I bet you're wondering why I keep saying "Whoever this is" & not Alley like their account says. Well the actual artist's name is Jennifer, I wanted to see what'd happen & this person forgot their fake name until I pointed it out. They also said they were from NY when their bio says DC.

I also want to mention the artist Jennifer is black & the scammer has an image of a white woman in their avatar & banner. There's enough images on Jennifer's tiktok that makes this clear & given everything these images were likely stolen too.

Here is the full conversation I had, yes I made the mistake of chatting with them but this is good to show this person's bullshit. Uncropped to show some kind of timestamp(I'm aware I took a little too long to do shit about this), ignore the "not charging" my charger is buggy if I'm not careful.

I'm aware I made the wrong move of giving tips but I doubt they'll keep this in mind.

And after that I stopped talking cause I saw their bullshit.

As I said before after talking to me they made a post with the stolen art. They had no art of their own on their account before.

Around the time they sent the images I decided to do a google image search & that's how I found the actual artist's tiktok.(Why I asked if their name was Jennifer) I'm guessing there's an account with other pics elsewhere cause while there's enough proof on the tiktok that this is real Jennifer's art fake Alley has images that aren't on the account.

So another thing to note is that not only do they not have their art on their blog nor a link to it or anyway to see that they actually are telling the truth about this project(except the art I found after talking to me) but their likes are visible. This is notable because whoever this scammer is has LIKED POSTS THAT ARE RESPONSES PEOPLE GAVE TO THEM SPAMMING PEOPLE.

Please don't bother these people

The last one is the most notable message cause it went apparently they went from dating scam to artist scams at some point

You may not be a bot but you are definitely a scammer & spammer.

Again don't make the mistakes I made by interacting with just report & block this person.

posts bugged?

just in case staff is looking into my inquiry. please scroll past.

Since last year (March 22, 2022), I started to post my Wordle results here. To not spoil anyone, I would post the results as private on the day and then on the next day I would change the post visibility to public.

Recently, I changed my Tumblr theme because the pictures I would post would end up in a scrollable box. It would seem that the theme I was using was updated. The theme is called Minimal by arturkim and changed the theme on August 12 to Chirp by rachaels.

A couple of days ago, I made a blog post about the recent things that has been going on the fandom I'm in. And like my wordle post, I posted it private first and then then changed it to public the next day.

On my Tumblr page, I have a tagged list for my blogs, named Bookmarks. When I posted another blog with my thoughts in which I intially posted privately then change it to public the next day, I realized that those two blogs wasn't showing under the tagged list for blogs. I made sure both blogs are public. I checked and it shows up on my dash if I scroll to said post. And if I use the search box on, both post would show.

I checked my Wordle posts and it seemed that this has been going on since July 26 and I just never realized. I also didn't check at the time cause I have been doing that for my wordle results and it works everytime.

(just in case, I missed posting Wordle for 3 days, 798 is on top on the post)

I already asked Tumblr Support for assistance and even got an email for possible solutions and asking additional information. I sent the inquiry August 29. But I haven't heard from them since then.

I didn't want to do it but I also temporarily changed the theme to the back to my previous theme but that didn't fix it.

I'm at lost at what to do. I know this is not much of an issue but I have OCD so... yea, sorry...

The Monster Within

German Masterlist English Masterlist

Plot: After the last fight against Thanos, the task of the remaining Avengers was done. And a new team of Avengers must now protect the Earth from a new unknown force. Together with SWORD, Wanda, Vision, Doctor Strange, Carol, Bucky, Sam and Loki, who must first prove himself on Midgard as a team and face unknown enemies. Will Loki be finally himself?

Chapters: Prologue / Chapter 1 / Chapter 2 / Chapter 3

Chapter 3

"Okay team! Heads up." says Carol as she walked into the center of the Quinjet, the team gathering in a circle around her, "The mission is simple: free and move out. A terrorist organization we don't know has taken nine hostages. Among them, four scientists and two technicians. It is important, under no circumstances, to compromise the mission or the hostages. It's our first mission as a team, we have to prove to people that they can trust us. Any questions?", Carol walks to the right side next to the ramp of the jet and presses the little red button so the ramp opened. Sam walks to the edge and looked out before starting his small Falcon jetpack drone and flies to the small fortress. He presses a small button on the left side of his goggles.

“Scan." says Sam, his drone starts scanning the building, "I count ten soldiers and nine hostages in the building. There are five snipers on the roof."

"All right. Get ready to move. We're going to go low. Landing would be too dangerous and would most likely give us away," Carol explained before smiling, "Try to keep up."

The proton energy spreads to her fists and her energy covers her entire body. When she fully ignited her energy, she flew out of the Quinjet at the speed of light. Wanda began to float as well and red magic surrounded her before she flew behind. Sam's wings readied themselves and he flew out of the jet. Vision and Stephan also followed.

Wanda arrives and flies over the roof and into the yard. She takes control of a soldier and lifts him up.

"Sam." says Wanda. Sam flies past Wanda and catches the soldier on one of his wings. The Quinjet has set to fly low. Bucky puts the magazine in his rifle and unlocks it, while Loki makes two golden daggers with green handles appear in his hands.

"Well I think it's time. Otherwise we're going to miss all the fun.", Bucky declares and pats Loki on the shoulder before they jump out of the jet. Sam, meanwhile, flies onto a rooftop, spinning and using his wings to deflect gunfire. Stephan flies onto the roof Sam was standing on and takes out the two soldiers who were shooting at Sam. While Vision and Carol fly over the rooftops one by one, taking out the remaining snipers on the rooftops as they fly. An enemy jet closes in on Carol and Vision as it begins to strafe the team. Carol and Vision looked at each other and flew in the direction of the jet to destroy it. Wanda uses her powers to lift Bucky up and through the window. He hurls one of the soldiers, who started shooting at him, through one of the windows. Sam jumped off the roof and caught the soldier in flight, while Bucky takes out another soldier in hand-to-hand combat. Loki kicks open a door in the basement of the building before spotting one of the soldiers, he hides behind the column to avoid being noticed. Loki changes his appearance into one of the soldiers and stepped out from behind the column.

"The captain requests your presence.", Loki calmly explains as he approaches the soldier.

"Well there's only one problem with that," the soldier says as he looks to him.

"What's that?" asks Loki, confused, tilting his head. The soldier raised his gun and pointed it at Loki.

"I'm the captain.", Loki grabs the barrel of the gun and turns his back to the soldier. Before he removes the magazine of the gun and hits the soldier in his face with his elbow. The soldier falls over backwards, unconscious.

Loki stalks through the building, looking for the rest of his team and the hostages. He glances slightly over his right shoulder and notices movement in one of the corners. It wasn't hard to notice that he was being followed, the person was visibly untrained at it. Loki makes an appearance to investigate something as the person stepped closer to him. In a quick movement he turns around and tries to hit the person with the dagger. But he is blogged, his right arm is grabbed and stretched behind him. The person tries Loki against the wall. Loki loosens his grip on his dagger and lets it slip out of his hand. He throws his head back, breaking the person's nose. The person staggers backwards because of this and loosens his grip on Loki's arm. When he turns to the person, he is bent over holding his broken nose. Blood is dripping onto the floor. With a hood covering the face, Loki could not see who the person was. Just as Loki was about to remove the hood, the person, a man, spoke, "This is just the beginning."

"From what?" asked Loki, confused, and moved closer to the person. Quick as a flash, the person shot up and administered him a syringe with an unknown fire-red liquid. Loki pulls out the syringe before it was completely empty. The person threw a smoke bomb and kicked Loki in the chest. Loki stumbles backward. The man used the distraction to flee. Through the smoke from the smoke bomb, Loki coughs. He knew he had to pursue this person, as he seemed to have important information that could be helpful to SWORD. Likewise, he could not risk this dangerous man getting away with it. As the smoke lifted, Loki's gaze searched for the man, hoping to catch him after all. Finally, he spots the man again. He was already at the end of the hallway. The man glanced back and looked at Loki one last time before jumping out of a window in front of him. Loki ran with long strides in the direction the man had fled. Through the window, Loki realized he was running toward a lake. Loki held on to the edge of the window and jumped elegantly over the window. Loki looked again where the man had run. He was by now at the edge of the lake and one of the enemy jets began to land in front of the man. Loki looked to his left, Carol and Vision were being strafed by three jets. While Wanda levitated the enemy soldiers with her magic and Sam caught them in flight. Bucky and Stephan must have been busy in the building with the rest of the soldiers and the hostages, Loki assumed. It was up to him to stop the jet, Loki ran as fast as he could to the jet, which was already starting to take off. The man sat on one of the seats and looked down at Loki, who was standing at the edge of the lake, grinning. He raised his hand to wave goodbye to Loki. Loki averted his gaze from the man and looked at the water in front of him before making his cloak and boots disappear with a simple wave of his hand. To take a running start, he took a few steps backwards. He took a deep breath and as his skin turned from alabaster to blue, markings appeared on his body and his eyes changed from green to red. Loki focused on his seidr before quickly sprinting towards the water. The coarse sand crunched under his quick steps. When his feet touched the water, it froze in a few seconds. A thin layer of ice formed on the water directly under Loki's feet. But when a wave threatens to sweep him off his feet, Loki freezes the wave into a bridge to the jet. He creates an ice weapon in his hand as he walks across the frozen ice floe. With his weapon, he manages to rip open the side of the jet and destroy the electronics. The jet threatened to crash, but before it could crash, a layer of red mist forms over it. Loki looked to the beach and saw Wanda landing on the dark beach and using all her strength to keep the jet from crashing. Sam, Bucky and Doctor Strange stepped up to Wanda's side. Loki pulled the mystery man out of the jet and flung him up. Vision flew past Loki and caught the man before he flew to the rest of the team. Carol flew to the jet at the speed of light and carries it. She landed it on an open grassy area and pulled the pilot out of the jet. Loki walked the ice bridge that he made appear back to the beach and with his seidr, he melted it behind him. When he entered the beach, he veiled his true appearance.

"Did you know Loki could do that?" asks Sam, pointing to the water. The rest of the team members merely shrugged their shoulders.

A/N: My tag list is open, post in the comments if you want in it. And please also write me in the comments what you think of the chapter!

One thing that SUPER interests me is the cyclical way in which social media apps and the culture/expectations of their user base feed off of each other. And while I've been spending less time on tumblr, something happened that caused a cultural shift that I don't like, actually. I'm talking about tags.

Tags are one of the weirdest features of Tumblr. We can search a blog by a tag, or the whole damn site by a tag. Which means people use them for not just discovery on a social network but also for classification and organization on their own blog. Thanks to extensions like tumblr savior, tags worked as an effective content/trigger warning tagging system too.

But ALSO, since tags weren't initially visible unless you went digging for them on reblogs, we developed a culture of adding commentary in the tags that you only wanted for yourself and your followers in the tags. That way you're not bothering the OP in any way, and if people look inside the notes, they won't find your commentary.

Then creators decided they really wanted to know what other people were saying about their work, which was cool! So creators started looking through tags. Missing e even added a "view tags" feature for posts, which I really liked.

But because it wasn't an official tumblr feature, it felt like there were two unwritten rules about tags-as-communication at this point:

You can't be upset by what someone put in the tags of their reblog if you're not the intended audience (their followers).

If you're reblogging art, it's nice to some kind of compliment in the tags in case the artist is looking through them.

These might seem contradictory, but I thought they worked really well.

It was only like a few years or so ago that I noticed people asking specifically "please don't tag my art as kin or me" etc, which I of course respected but thought was weird — I thought we'd all agreed that tags weren't for the OP, they were for the reblogger.

Now that tumblr has started showing tags to reblog notifications, so OP can see any tags that show up on their posts, I've noticed the culture has started to shift a LOT towards OPs feeling a little more ownership over what other people put in tags. I don't know if I like that? I'm not sure. I used add OC tags to reblogs, so tumblr functioned a lot like a moodboard for those OCs, but I've noticed a lot more people in the last few years commenting on how that makes them feel uncomfortable, or making fun of people who do this, so I've stopped doing it.
