i would die alone and have my carcass be eaten by vultures before i talk to chatgpt like it's my boyfriend

it's only because of branding that the UK isn't being denounced as a liberal autocracy. the extreme curtailing of speech rights combined with the attempted destruction of internet privacy is beyond alarming and anyone falling for this "think of the children" bullshit deserves nothing but scorn

hi im triple AAA game studio. Welcome to our game gunshitters 7. this is a 70$ USD game that is not finished but you can buy the DLC at launch for 50$USD. also theres a seprate in game currency where you can spend 200$USD to get diamonds to buy cosmetics. look at our roadmap. dont you want to pay 30$ for our first season pass? you will unlock special epic gear that will never ever come back so you can get a nice healthy dose of FOMO. the next season pass is next month and is also 30$. also we are locking 40% of the entire game behind our fun new feature 'present mechanics' so you can gift the rest of the game to yourself for the low low price of 40$ and you also get an epic gun skin if you pay for the GOLD season pass for 60$. also you know how the game was unfinished at launch? oh haha were sorry about that. were releasing it now but you need to pay 20$ for it. fuck you. fuck you. fuck you.

guy in a duplex living off of nothing but bread with a computer from 2009: hi everyone im so sorry im late to announce this but my game honeydew mayhem where you can conquer the universe as a bee is gonna release a month late because i still need time to work on making sure that everything works properly and i also need to make sure that the free content updates i will release over time for the next 10 years will be on their way. i need to make sure that you can do absolutely everything you can think of in this game and i still need to polish 20 boss fights and finalize 40 more in-game areas to explore. im sorry you guys will have to wait a bit longer. also my game will be 25$ i hope that isnt too much to ask. if it is i promise it will go on sale soon for 9$. i love all of you and hope you are having a good day

What to do if your account gets wrongfully terminated

Edit: This post was made in 2020. This information may not be accurate anymore. Additionally, I do not any never have worked for Tumblr. I do not know what else to do if this does not work. I do not know why your blog was banned. Please do not ask me what to do if this does not work.

So by now most of you have probably heard that my account was suddenly terminated (aka banned) on Saturday afternoon. I’m back now, and since I had to do some digging into this on my own, I figured I’d make a post for others to reference. 

How to tell if you’ve been wrongfully terminated

You will find yourself suddenly locked out of your account. For me, I had just made a post when I got kicked to the login screen. My password wouldn’t work, so I tried to reset it, at which point I got this screen:

Now, if Tumblr legitimately terminated your account - meaning, you broke a rule and they banned you for it - they should send you an email telling you why. So, immediately check your email. If you don’t get anything, it was probably a glitch. These happen shockingly often, so there’s a whole process to it. 

How to get your account back

First, submit a support ticket. Tumblr’s support email does NOT work, you MUST go through their site. Select ‘Terminated account’. Write a POLITE message explaining the situation. Describe what you were doing when you suddenly got kicked off, and state that to the best of your knowledge, you haven’t broken any rules, or that if you did, you would be willing to delete the offending posts. Include your url and email.

Check your email. You should immediately get an automatic message saying they’re looking into the problem. If you don’t that means that Tumblr marked your email as spam (because they banned you). If you need to, resend the ticket using a different email address at the bottom. Explain that your account email doesn’t seem to be going through and that’s why you’re using a different one. 

Wait. Tumblr Support’s hours of operation are 9-5 EST, Monday through Friday. If, like me, you submitted your ticket on a weekend, you may be in for a wait. If you don’t get a response within 24 hours, DO NOT SEND ANOTHER TICKET, but instead reply to the email they sent you. I’ve seen it advised that you should send another ticket only if the problem isn’t fixed within the week. 

Check you url often. Tumblr will likely never respond to your email letting you know what happened or that you’ve been reinstated. Check your url every so often, and if it finally loads as your blog (instead of the ‘There’s nothing here’ screen) you are free to log back in. 

And that’s it! If it was a glitch, they SHOULD reinstate your account, but you MUST submit a support ticket letting them know what’s going on.

OH MY GOD HUGE WIN FOR ME PERSONALLY. REFERRING TO SHADOW’S SKATES AS EXTREME GEAR, whether an accurate classification or not, Wave seeing the similarity in Shadow’s shoes to skate type EX Gear is such a fucking win for me. What with Gerald’s penchant for researching the technology of ancient civilizations, I think it’s sick as hell to think that in some way Shadow’s skates may have been genuinely influenced by Babylonian tech. Air shoes is a stupid name, but it nonetheless paints a picture of them perhaps genuinely running on air as a fuel system, like Extreme Gear in the original Sonic Riders. Also I love Wave and I love when she’s mean. ILYYY.

Adventures of Sonic was my childhood Sonic thing, and I wanted a figure of the Tails I grew up with

I was gonna cut his ears down to match the AoStH ones but, I didn't have the heart

And I'd be remiss if I didn't include this:

(And a non lit cigarette)

Probably the most supportive cis people I’ve befriended or just been around have just treated being trans as some shit that happened to me when I was younger. Like on par with being from California or having a younger brother sort of thing.

My favorite way a cis friend has referred to the time when I was living in girl mode is “when you were a young warthog”.

Like yeah Roman is trans, Jess’ brother is a dick, Rob over there has ten siblings. Same tone. Same level of importance.

writing tip: searching "[place of origin]ish names" will get you a lot of stuff and nonsense made up by baby bloggers.

searching "[place] census [year]" will get you lists of real names of real people who lived in that place.

@tubapun I'm sorry but this comment has lived rent free in my head all day, and I had to know. No Jelly beans on hand BUT:

YOU WERE SPOT ON

So, I made another Scrappy figure that actually scales with a Scooby I have. Now I could've been a normal person and chosen a normal sized Scooby, but:

He's from a chocolate egg set of figures

Ignoring inconsistencies between them because they all needed to fit in the same capsules, I think Scrappy scales pretty well with the rest of the gang and the Jada 1/32 mystery machine
