#are backups for just in case

[koko2unite]

[postplus-protest]

Hey everyone! 

I know it’s been a minute, but with the recent news that Automattic has laid off a portion of its workforce (including a sizable percent of tumblr's staff), it's a good time to have a quick chat about the future.

Now, as far as we know, tumblr isn't going anywhere just yet. No need to panic! However, I do recommend that you take into consideration a few things.

1: Backup your tumblr! Here's tumblr's official guide to doing so. It's always a good idea to have backups of your data and now is a great time to do so.

*I’ll also be including a handful of other links walking you guys through other backup methods at the end of this post. As I understand it, each of them have different pros and cons, and it might be a good idea to have more than one type of backup depending on what you want to save/how you’d like the backup to look/etc.

2: Have some place your mutuals/friends can find you! A carrd or linktree is a great way to list off anywhere you might find yourself on the internet. 

3: Once again, don't panic! We don’t know that anything is happening to tumblr anytime soon—it just doesn’t hurt to have a backup. Better to have a plan now instead of being blindsided later.

*The other backup methods I’ve been able to find:

—First off, someone put together a document with several backup methods & pros and cons for each. (I believe it originated from a tumblr post, but with search being the way it is I haven’t been able to track it down.) This goes over a lot, but I’m adding a few more links to this post in case they might be helpful too. 

—This post and this video were a good guide to the older “bbolli tumblr-utils backup for beginners” method mentioned in the doc (I used them during the ban in 2018 to make sure I had my main blog saved).

—I’ve also found a handful of python & python 3 tumblr backup tutorial videos out there, in case those would be helpful for you. (I haven’t personally tried these methods out yet, but the videos seem to go over the updated version of tumblr-utils.

Hi!!! I love your hdcs and each post your make are really cool!! Please more food!!🤲🩵

Could I ask for some fluff or smut with the windbreaker characters ? Like Kotoha, Hiragi, Kiryu, Umemiya, Togame, Endo and Tsubakino with a chubby fem reader?

Like the reader is a pastry chef and when their partner where out they decide to bake some nice sweet for them, since it was summer the reader was wearing [ I'll let you go on with your imagination !!] And wasn't aware of their partner coming back!

You can pick whatever you like and any characters ! You can even add more!!

Wind Breaker x Chubby!Reader

♡ SFW, fluff, fem! & pastry chef!reader, all characters aged up per usual but there's no smut ♡

Characters: Kotaha, Hiragi, Togame

note: aww thank you anon, hope I wrote your request to your liking 💗

❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀

Kotaha

☕ Since she works at the cafe, you two often take turns cooking for each other —i.e. if she makes dinner, you'll make dessert

☕ Kotaha returned home from her shift at the cafe, exhausted and ready to crash before she even hits the bedroom, but then she smells something sweet and is immediately in the kitchen doorway

☕ She's stunned to see you wearing your shirt, but her skirt, an apron tied neatly around your body

☕ Finds it endearing but is also a little jealous because the skirt suits you better

"Maybe you should keep the skirt...it looks better on you."

Hiragi

🦈 Hiragi had just got home from helping Ume with some work around Furin, no doubt in pain from stressing out about something that would eventually resolve itself anyway

🦈 Immediately forgets about everything he's stressing over when he sees you wearing his bofurin jacket over some shorts

🦈 Tries to help you in the kitchen but you tell him to go sit down before he makes you mess something up because he's really just clinging to you

"Okay I'll leave you to it, master chef. But when you're done, I wanna get a better view of your outfit."

Togame

💚 Togame had left out earlier to go hang out with Choji, while he was gone you figured that you'd bake him a pie for when he gets home

💚 It was easily over 80 degrees and you had the AC pumped all the way up, moving gracefully around the kitchen while wearing one of his shirts

💚 He came home a few hours earlier than he planned and was baffled to see you buzzing around the kitchen in his shirt

💚 Spends the rest of the day complimenting you and "helping" you around the kitchen, even though he really just stares at you for a majority of the time

"Y'know you should wear my clothes more often, you look cute in them."

It's really interesting to me how quickly and easily Kab has completely changed her alliances. It leaves her looking very opportunistic. Shes willing to turn traitor the second she gets a better chance of survival. That in turn with the fact that Mane used to be someone she opposed on every moral angle, makes her seem like she doesn’t even have any real morals, she’s more than willing to just accept those of whoever she’s teamed up with.

(It also leaves her looking terrified. She’s so scared of getting killed or banned forever she’ll do anything to stay safe. It’s better to be teamed with someone stronger. And kabs more than willing to forgive the 13 deaths mane gave her if it means he’ll stop killing her. She’ll forgive him for everything if it means she has a better chance of living.)

Zeus: What are you talking about? I'm a very trusting person! I trust all of you.

Zeus: Except Poseidon.

Poseidon: That's fair.

Zeus: And Hestia a little bit.

Hestia: What??

Zeus: You're too nice, it feels fake. Like you're lulling me into a false sense of security so you can steal my organs later.

Hestia: Wha- I don't want your organs!

Zeus: That's exactly what someone who wants to steal my organs while I sleep would say.

Zeus: Hades. You can hide in shadows and you're always talking to people who aren't there.

Hades: Those people are ghosts. Ghosts who have helped us.

Zeus: Right, but how can I be sure that you're not using them to plot against me?

Hades: Why would I plot against you?

Zeus: I don't fucking know! But you could be. And that's the important thing to focus on.

Hades: That's not-

Zeus: And Dem! Look, you seem great. But. You know... there's just something there that worries me.

Demeter: And that is?

Zeus: Don't know! But it's there.

Zeus: So really I trust all of you, but not that much, save for Hera. Except, obviously, when I don't trust her. But it's mostly I do. Usually. Sometimes.

Zeus: Once.

Hera: Are you fucking kidding me?

Zeus: No, I've definitely trusted you one time. Sort of. A little bit. It was very difficult.

Hera: You have a problem and you need help.

Zeus: That's exactly what someone who wants me to fail would say.

holding on for dear life

I have further thoughts on the below that I think compromise my point a bit. I will be updating this soonish with them

the framing so often ascribed to the pt that the galaxy was doomed/the republic fell because of One Guy's attachment is so wrong and yet so prevalent that one has no choice but to assume everyone is out here with horse blinkers on 24/7. anakin's flaws and fall are central to the narrative because he is the main character. at no point in the pt is he ever actually crucial to the fall of democracy or whatnot* - his attachment to luke, and luke's attachment to him save the galaxy. but they don't doom it. the fall of democracy is explicitly linked to political scheming and manoeuvring by palpatine; it's almost an inevitability in the pt lol!

So, what happened to Yaz's stuff?

She was living on a campus where at least one person got eaten alive, her phone isn't being answered, she was last seen getting into a vehicle that's at the bottom of the lake, and no bodies were found.

Do they move her stuff out of the dorm?

Is it considered a crime scene because the DPW got exposed a few days later and the suspicious disappearance of the Nublar Five and the deaths around them mean she might have been the target of a hit, or an accomplice? Bowman was a former DPW worker, after all.

Is her laptop in a forensics lab? Are all her clothes vacced up in bags after being checked for dinosaur samples and hair? Are all her notebooks and sketches filed in cabinets after being combed for clues? Or did her roommate just throw them out?

she’s weird hella strange but hot

Part 3 - No Fury Like an Omega's Rage

Here's a link to the prompt that started this. Links to Part 1 and Part 2. Finally finished the rescue scene! Scenes with several characters freak me out to write, but I think this came out well.

I think I've written enough that I might start putting it together to make something to put on AO3. Maybe.

It wasn’t any singular thing that gave it away, but rather everything that added up to this not being a normal relocation. Not the kind that Jason had gotten used to over the course of his pregnancy — since Robin managed to get out of Ra’s grubby old hands. The old fuck had no evidence that Robin knew about Jason being with the League, but that didn’t matter. He was smart enough (or maybe paranoid) to assume they knew. He wasn’t taking any unnecessary risks, not when there was a very special project to protect. The shiftiness of Talia’s eyes, the wariness in the Shadows — yeah, they were here. 

The Bats finally figured out where he was while he was still there. Now he just needed to wait for an opportunity. He kept Damian and TJ close, outright biting a Shadow that tried to take the newborn from his hands. Jason was barely in any condition to move; he powered through that fact as he was not going to show any weakness in front of these fucks. He squeezed Damian’s hand — one, two, pause, one, two, three. His older pup tensed and stepped closer to him. He could feel the fear trickle over their pack bond, and as much as he wanted to comfort him, for now he needed the pup alert.

This particular base was underground, though no clue where in the world it was other than hot. He had a scant few days to map out the tunnels before labor had kicked in and then he was recovering. It wasn’t a lot of time, but it was enough. Enough for him to set up what he needed to and enough to map out a few escape routes. Enough that when he heard the sounds of fighting echoing down the hall, and the Shadows were distracted for the briefest second, he ran. 

He had to let go of Damian’s hand to hold on to TJ, but he was well acquainted with his pup’s speed. Run and hide in a preplanned spot. Wait for the Shadows that chased after him to run past. Jason took a moment to go over his planned escape routes. 

The fighting sounded pretty deep within the base, so most of the Shadows should be focused on dealing with the Bats. Ra’s wasn’t on-site but Talia was. The pups and him being moved was a last minute decision, which means the Bats got close enough that it spooked Talia. She was panicking. By now, she would have ordered her most loyal guards to start hunting him down. However, Jason knew the League’s tactics and he knew how to avoid detection. THe Bats had to have brought the Batplane for this and unless they added invisibility to it, there weren’t many places it could be parked without being immediately detected.

Jason led his pup carefully down a series of tunnels until he got to the south exit, sidestepping the fighting. There were a few close calls, but the Bats made a damn good distraction. If they were the least bit smart, they would have left someone behind to protect the plane and be prepped for first aid. The door to the Batplane wasn’t open when he first got out, but by the time he was near the Batplane, it was.

Talia kept him informed of the Bats back in Gotham, still convinced he hated them. So he knew that in the year it had taken them, his replacement decided to rebel and go by Red Robin now. There was Spoiler who’s been around for a hot minute, then did a stint as Robin and Batgirl, before going back to Spoiler. Then there was Black Bat, who was the One Who is All he heard whispers about (not that Talia told him that — he put that together from the rumors himself). Good on her for getting out. Lastly, there was Signal who did the dayshift and that’s all he knew. They had a whole ass colony now.

The person waiting for him was the blond beta in purple.

“Spoiler, right? Who else is in on this,” he asked, dropping into the nearest chair. He checked over TJ and Damian to make sure they hadn’t gotten hurt somehow while running. There was no distress over their pack bonds, but bonds weren’t perfectly accurate even under the best of circumstances.

“Yep! Jason, right? You know they’re looking for you,” Spoiler snarked, staring at the infant he was fussing over, “The whole fam is here. Batman, Nightwing, Red Robin, Black Bat, and Signal.”

“Yeah, well, I decided I didn’t feel like waiting for their slow asses. TJ is due for another feeding soon and all the fighting would probably give him gas,” he replied. Spoiler gave a low acknowledging hum as she tapped her communicator.

“So! Our princess in the castle is currently in front of me. With a new tiny baby pup. I think I know why they were hiding him so well.” A hard flinch followed as the assumed response came over the line.

“Nailed it, Blondie,” he called out, “Newborn is Ra’s project, and the sooner we leave, the better.”

“Got it. You all hear that, hull ass back. I’ll get the plane ready, Spoiler out.” He watched Spoiler turn to the controls and then turned his attention back to his own pup. Damian was clinging to him and glaring at Spoiler.

“Cariño,” he whispered, waiting for the pup to look back at him, “she’s family, our family. She can be trusted,” he wished he still had his old pack bonds to show Damian but he had a drug-induced break when he first got sold off, “You’re about to meet a whole lot of family dressed like weirdos, but they aren’t going to hurt you or me. They aren’t dangerous. Got it?” 

Damian hesitated, but nodded — still, he looked at Spoiler warily. The only true pack he knew was Jason — Talia had a weak bond that would break as soon as Damian was away for longer than a week. Ra’s didn’t bother. God, he was gonna have to rebuild his pack bonds carefully or Damian would get too overwhelmed.

“Hey,” he waited for Damian’s attention, “remember what I said about Talia?”

“Mother lies,” he recited. Jason nodded.

“Talia lies. And you don’t have to call her mother here. Unless you see her, or Ra’s, or a Shadow, you don’t have to call them Mother or Grandfather,” he explained, “And Batman will be here. Ignore whatever Talia told you. He’s my dad, which makes him your grandpa and that’s all you need to care about, okay?”

“But M-Talia said—”

“I know what she said. Ignore it. We can talk about it more later, but for now, ignore it.” Damian nodded again. Jason waited in case his pup had anything to ask, but it seemed he was going along.

“Everything alright back there?” Spoiler asked.

“As okay as they can be. ETA?” he replied back. However, before Spoiler could answer, a black and blue blur tried to tackle him.

Tried because a certain overprotective pup sunk his teeth into him. Dick yelped, and reflexively went to push him off.

“Dick,” Jason growled out, which made the older man freeze, “hurt my pup and I will gut you. Damian, let go, he’s an idiot, not a threat.” Damian growled in response. “Now, Damian.”

The 5-year-old hesitated before letting go, never dropping his glare. Jason reached out with his free hand and tugged the pup back into the seat next to him.

“Here,” he gently passed TJ, making sure Damian had a solid hold and the infant’s head was supported, “watch your brother. They won’t hurt me. I told you about Dick, he likes to tackle people with hugs. Hugs don’t hurt.” Damian was unconvinced, but with TJ in his lap, he wasn’t moving. ‘Thank god TJ isn’t a fussy baby.’

“No sudden movements, get over here.” Dickwing moved, still faster than Damian was comfortable with, but slower than before. Jason rolled his eyes as his octopus of an older brother wrapped around him.

“Jaybird.” The word was horribly wet sounding, accompanied with suspicious moisture on his shirt.

“Yeah, Dickie, it’s me. The pups are jumpy, don’t rush them unless you wanna be gutted.” Dick muttered “okay” into his shirt. Jason patted the overgrown puppy and took mental bets with himself on who would be the next one back. He won/lost $20 when Red Robin popped in.

“Jason,” he breathed, eyes hidden under the domino, but Jason could feel his eyes clocking every difference from the last time they saw each other — with a hefty amount of time spent lingering on his newest pup. 

“Red Robin,” unseen eyes snapped to him, “Stop with self-flagellation I know you’re doing. I chose to stay behind and I’ve been with the League long enough to know the risks of that.” Spoiler looked like she’d pull out a bucket of popcorn right now if she could. Honestly, he could use some too.

“Are you seriously claiming you knew that they’d—” Red Robin clenched his hands in anger, which caused Damian to tense. A quick glare and flash of green cut the alpha off and made him forcibly — visibly — relax.

“Use me as an incubator? Of course I did, that’s why they bought me in the first place. And I know what Ra’s is like when he’s interested in new blood.” Dick finally decided to drop the octopus act.

“Wait, so is the new baby…” A frown appeared on Dickie’s face as he trailed off.

“Clone. Been calling him TJ. Need to figure out a real name for him later, because Tim Junior is not a good name for a pup,” Jason explained as two more Bats finally reached the plane. Black Bat and Signal. Which just left B. ‘$50 on Talia intercepted him. Probably gave him a whole ass speech.’ 

“What’s wrong with my name?” Spoiler punched Red Robin in the shoulder.

“Seriously ex-boyfriend? That’s what you focused on?”

“The Batplane is not a place for that conversation,” Red Robin shot back, “not in front of the pups, not with an audience, and definitely not while we’re still on the League’s territory.” While it was common sense that now was not the time for it — the fact that Red mentioned the pups first won him points with Jason. The pups did not need to be subjected to those talks, not when it could make Damian feel bad about his existence.

No one was allowed to make Damian feel bad about existing.

“Damn right,” Jason agreed, “And nothing wrong with the name, Timmy, I just don’t like naming kids junior.”

“Ra’s didn’t name him?” Signal asked, looking warily at his pups. Damian was glaring at everyone, looking more and more stiff and uncomfortable. He was never around this many people outside of training. Jason gently took TJ back.

“Nah,” he said looking at his baby, “Ra’s refuses to acknowledge any pup until they’re old enough to hold a knife.” Black Bat took a step towards him, which set off another puppy growl from Damian.

“Cálmate, cariño,” he soothed, “todo está bien.” He mostly spoke Spanish when they were alone because Talia didn’t like it, so hopefully speaking it here would help get through to him that they were safe. He did try to send calm over their bond, but admittedly it wasn’t as effective as he would like since they were still too close to the base.

“Pero, Mama,” his pup started, but cut off when Batman finally decided to show up. Jason pulled Damian into his side and watched B.

Bruce — and that was Bruce, not Batman — was stiff and avoided looking at Jason and the pups directly. Talia definitely spilled the beans, but it looks like B isn’t going to address it anything soon. 

“Let’s go.” With that, the door closed and everyone moved into place for take off. Jason grabbed Dick before he got too far. He needed as much negotiating power as he could get before the inevitable conversation with B. Sure, B wasn’t dumb enough to separate a pup from an omega. However, he was dumb enough to argue that he should claim Damian publicly and have Jason be his brother. Which. No.

He birthed that pup and there’s a 99% chance B would rope Damian into being Robin. Hell no.

“Dickie,” he whispered, “I know you never liked being head omega. Mind giving that back to me?” Despite Dick being older, Jason was far more suited to being head omega. Dick had given the position to Jason a year after he presented, glad to give up the responsibility. Once his pack bonds were broken though, it would have fallen back to Dick.

“Jay—”

“Dick, I have 2 pups to protect.” Dick pressed his lips, but nodded. Jason flicked his gaze to the other omega in the pack, who stared at him for a long moment before nodding. He didn’t know Black Bat well, and she definitely didn’t know him, but every omega knows that pups come first. His bonds would need to be reestablished first, but knowing he had the position once they were was enough for now.

With that settled, he let Dick go to do whatever he needed. It didn’t take long to get into the air, everyone settling in for the trip. TJ started crying right on time for his next feeding, which made most of the non-omegas look away as Jason breastfed. Damian shifted to curling up in his seat and laying his head on Jason’s thigh. He was still uncomfortable but calmer now that the rush of activity lessened. Red Robin settled near him, but made no move to directly interact with the pups. Just pulled out a laptop and started working on what looked like shopping for baby furniture and baby clothes. Jason blatantly watched over his shoulder.

“We have a room prepared for the older pup—” “Damian.” “---Damian and you. Don’t have anything for TJ though.” Jason hummed in thought.

“You’re not delivering that to the manor,” he pointed out.

“Figured you should have another option if the talk with B doesn’t go well.”

“Your place?” Red paused for a second, but didn’t look away from the screen.

“Is that a problem?” he asked. The tone was off, but not offended or demanding. Worried? Maybe self-conscious? ‘Well, it is pretty damn presumptuous to set up a room for an omega and pup in your own den. Huh, pretty ballsy move for the little stalker. I really shouldn’t be impressed by it.’ Yet, he kinda was.

“And if the talk with you doesn’t go well?” 

“Then I’ll leave. I’m not getting between you and your pups, whatever you say goes.” Definitely the right answer, but Jason wondered how true that was — easy to say when it was just Damian, but now there was a pup that Red was related to. He looked earnest about it though, so Jason dropped it. Having somewhere to escape was smart.

Waiting for a moment where no one’s attention was on him — and wow, that didn’t take too long, are they really that uncomfortable? — Jason grabbed the modified phone he hid in TJ’s blacket on their way out.

It took a second to dial the number Jason had set up. Five years in the LOA and he never attempted to leave, played into every hand Talia tried with him, and didn’t fight when Ra’s started on his little cloning project. All that good behavior bought him just the smallest amount of freedom to explore the bases. Which meant he had just enough freedom to get into the League’s security system and find then Robin’s unfinished work. And spread it a bit wider.

Red made eye contact with him as he hid the phone again, an eyebrow just barely raised in question. Jason gave him a vicious smirk in response.

Ra’s was going to be too busy scavenging from the ashes of his bases to worry about his escaped project any time soon.

I’m on winter break so I’m drawing a lot lol SORRY! I mentioned that I found my drawcast archives and now my winter break goal is to redraw one a day… here’s redraw 1 of ??? But this one’s more of a redesign? 14-15 year old me was actually kinda great at gemsonas ngl

Original under the cut because I want my posts to be compact >:(

The quality is gonna be CRONCHY because the “drawcast archives” are actually a thumb drive I hastily put together in the lates nights of the winter of 2021 right before drawcast shut down. Uh yeah so I don’t know how to get better quality images of my old art rip. This is from 2016, I was 14 probably

Just found out that Microsoft has been added as a primary target for boycotting by BDS. This includes their software, games, and services.

I'm currently on a Windows system and can't hop immediately to another OS as some of my programs are still windows exclusive. Almost all Windows Telemetry is disabled on my computer. My plan is to later on switch to Linux after finding alternatives or at least find some compatibility with Linux for these programs. Not to mention backup alternatives.

No Edge, switched to Firefox and Vivaldi. Fuck Copilot.

And while BDS did ask for people to stop buying Microsoft games, there is some small leeway for those who have already bought them before the boycott: you can keep playing as long as you don't buy future Microsoft products or games (source). This includes micro-transactions, don't buy them. Minecraft Realms and Minecoins, too.

Since I own Minecraft (bought back in 2012), this one hurts a bit since I started back playing it as an escape. Have been avoiding Realms and Minecoins, but I'm still concerned about Telemetry. I can avoid Minecraft's two official desktop launchers - one from the Microsoft store and the other as direct download from Mojang's site. There are alternative launchers (including cracked versions) that allow you to continue playing Minecraft without Microsoft "seeing" you playing it, even without an account. Look for no account registration launchers or offline launchers like UltimMC or Prism Launcher. Avoid TLauncher because it may contain malware. You will miss out on servers, though.

There's also the No-Telemetry mod if you still want to play on either of the official launchers or if you are using a launcher that still requires an account.

Vintage Story, Luanti, VoxeLibre (mod for Luanti) are good alternatives if you want something Minecraft-like but completely disconnected from Microsoft. Mods for Luanti can be found here. Mods for Vintage Story can be found here.

Here's a post on what you can do if you are looking for alternatives to Microsoft's software and tools.

Kinda of a reminder, You can participate in small parts of a boycott if there's some things you aren't ready to move on or if you can't find replacements. Like, if the only thing you have done is letting go of is Edge and Minecraft, but not Windows, that's fine. If it's just Edge, that's fine. Just do your best!
