It started as a random head sketch but I didn’t mind when it ended up as an adult Yuriy / Tala.

Beyblader Hiromi with her beyblading gang (She's leader.) They are called the Spades.

(They are part of the top four London Gangs in the Street blading scene.)

@citruscloudsandmoon

I have so many AUs about this mostly funny concept, so her backstory kind of changes depending on my mood.

But basically she became leader of a group of street punks, who were bullying some other younger bladers. Hiromi with her sense of justice (and her anger issues), stood up for the underdog, and accidentally ended up leading a gang.

And then, as she and her gang (The Spades) end up one of the top gangs in London. And she also wears a mask because she's paranoid if her family finds out she's beyblading gangs in places where she should not be.

And she throws challenging cards at your face (she printed them with her dad's printer, and he's wondering why the ink is gone.)

(Who's idea was it to let a bunch of stupid bladers attempt to break their blades with the passing trains anyway? Not hers. Nope.)

From the left, Ben Wright (my oc). He's hot tempered, volatile and likes to pick physical fights with everyone. He's like a chihuahua. Pretty funny guy with his facial expressions if he gets mad. Pretty boy. He probably gets really popular with his audience, because he's the type to yell, "You guys all suck!!" at the entire audience. But he's loyal at the end of it.

Big mouth acc to Hiromi.

(He still can't beat Hiromi to be leader, so he's pretty mad. One day he will, till then he'll stick around. They have their own shonen rival trope nonsense going on.)

And right, Alexander Zangiev, a canon character from Beyblade, who shows up once, and never again. Former abbey member. Has PTSD. Pretty timid and quiet. Lives with his only living relative, his overworked aunt. Considers the "Spades" his found family.

This trainwreck gang enters the World Championships, and Ben yells at the general audience that everyone here indeed sucks, while Alex is hiding his face, and Hiromi's giving idk, Takao a stink eye, because she watched him litter and sort his garbage wrong earlier.

telling @citruscloudsandmoon how kaihil would eventually be that loving couple after some trouble when they get married, where they almost don't make it. But he decides to get therapy, and they make significant effort together.

But they'll be okay in the end with one son and three cats and another baby on the way

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.

never thought I'd say tumblr should copy something from Twitter but tumblr desperately needs a community notes feature where everyone is forced to see when posts have misinfo, instead of the corrections just getting lost in the notes as people continue to blithely spread propaganda
