if the reading comprehension of some people who do make dead plate text posts is so bad (as i've had at least two people tell me in the tags) then maybe i SHOULD start analyzing every little detail in the game.

nothing like seeing people still saying jon/ygritte was an abusive rship in my *recommended* posts in the year of the lord 2024 anyway I had missed instant blocking people just scrolling the dashboard

[high-queen-feyre]

Can someone tell my why is it called "for you" when I have to press not interested for every post? 😭

Like damn, one anti thing after another... Can't scroll in peace...

I made a prompt some time ago and my brain couldn't let it go so I want to write an actual fic about it. But I need your help to do it.

You can find the prompt I'm talking about here. To summarize it quickly because I know it ended up kind of long. Dani was traveling around the USA and met/befriended some people, heroes and villains include. And then she left to see another place. It wouldn't be a problem if before she left, she said goodbye. She didn't so now they she got kidnapped and are panicing.

I have some ideas, some serious chaos I mentioned (about 2500 words and counting) or super serious chaos if things'll go properly, who knows, some Dani hangs out with Duke during his patrols and is low key his sidekick (5500 words and counting, everything on paper because why not?), both in much different places on a timeline, untouched but thought about idea for Dani and Conner clone budding AND one bit for when she met Flashfam and one when she asked Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy for autographs for Jazz and Sam.

But here is a thing. All I know about DC is from dpxdc tag and some fics on AO3. Also from dpxdc of course. So it means I don't know a jack shit about people outside of Batfam.

So, what I'm asking for is, if you have ideas who else Dani could mess with or/and links to fanfics with your favorite characterizations or character analysis here or on AO3, any way of communication you are comfortable with is open, please send it (maybe not in actual mail that would be both creepy and unreasonably expensive)

I can't exactly watch movies/cartoons because I fear my computer wouldn't survive that (I had a moment of black screen two times in the last twenty minutes and three more temporary freezes, how is this thing still running, and how it became my most reliable internet connection device?)

Anyway, send the links I beg you

I'm getting increasingly more and more rambling-essay-like in the tags every passing day

....well at least people won't think of me as intimidating now!

Feelings hurt bc we commission a Friend to do something for Nephew's bday every year, but this year Friend is turning down the specific request. He'll still do SOMETHING, he's just not comfortable with that specific thing. And like... 1) this is THE BIGGEST obsession in this little boy's life at the moment, and this is the first year he might recognize what the art is. But also 2) this is the first time I've had an idea for the commission, and my request is the one shut down. Like... We found out today that this child's entire party is being themed around the same Thing. It has to be Thing. But nope. It won't be thing, even tho it's both what Nephew will recognize and appreciate most and, selfishly, the only time I've asked to choose the commission.

And yes, I get it, artists have the right to refuse commissions but... It's not fair.

How is it that you can write what is essentially character introspection about emotional manipulation and people automatically read it as you treating the character like a child/a woman "with no agency"? Literally, genuinely, how? Please, I would like to know where the hiccup in my wording was so I can avoid this complete misinterpretation in future posts. I cannot comprehend.

Using this as an audio reference for the posts I'm making, but to summarize:

Yuri starts out mad.

Yuri tries to calm himself down with a deep breath to ask for details instead of going through it angry.

Flynn doesn't say "like a good knight" in the sense of putting himself down. He simply says "as a knight" (the tl here doesn't use that, but with that included it's basically along the lines of "even though I had doubts, as a knight, I was determined to follow my orders").

Once Yuri has answers he calms down significantly.

Yuri uses " 'ttaku", which is a shortened down version of "mattaku" (Yuri often shortens words and speaks very casually), which in this particular situation basically would mean "geez", or "good grief". In this manner, it's expressive of exasperation/frustration/etc.

Yuri never mentions that "Flynn told him what to do" like the dub does (because in fact Flynn did not ever tell Yuri what to do. He only gave Sodia and his other knights orders. He expressed his own desire to take responsibility, but never told Yuri and his friends what to do).

At this point you can tell the anger has gone out of him and that he's calmed down, now that Flynn is approaching this with admission and responsibility.

Sodia is asking that Flynn returns as soon as possible (I believe this was a general translation error).

Flynn's thank you to Yuri is tonally much more heartfelt.

Yuri's response and gratefulness at Flynn coming back to himself is tonally much more heartfelt, relieved and sincere.

I think getting a hysterectomy would either help with my migraine issues or just give me different problems but I wont be able to know until next year minimum and even then I dont know if I can do a second surgery so soon. the way that birth control just utterly and completely fucks you over when youre starting it, when youre on it, and when youre getting off it is so. Idk if its even worth it to change my birth control if Im gonna get a hystrectomy in the vague soonish future even if I feel like absolute dogshit for an entire month for 1/3rd of the year.

Stumbling and falling on my face... I did block the users and did not take screenshot of our conversation because it just consisted of them begging me to commission them and how scared and afraid they were because they didn't know how to make money as an artist.

Hhheeeeeyyyyyy... so I'm just gonna jump right to it.

If you ever encounter a user that goes by the name

stais-world and their art looks kinda of weird. Like it's traced kind of weird. That's because it is.

They still use their old username when watermarking/leaving a signature.

The "sideblog" is older then the stais-world account. When I first encountered statis, I believe I encounter them with their old username but I do not remember, they message me begging me to commission them. I quickly shot them down telling them that you should not beg to be commission and that it's not right/not how to market yourself yada yada...

As I was looking at their art, at the time, I wanted to call them out and say that their work look trace. A big accusation mind you, but as someone who studies and obsess with art (and also have the powerful knowledge of the 10%vs80% under my belt). I could tell, right off the bat, that many of the work were trace. Granted I will not lie, there were some work that didn't look trace (then again I was tripped up with the style of tracing, believing that they're not a tracer but a beginner artist). However majority of them do look trace.

Continuing on, about a month or so went by they message me again begging me to commission them and that they were scared not being able to pay their bills. I did not say anything.

A week, I think went by, I got a message, "hi. How have you been?" I was going to tell them I have been good but they kept going, "My commissions are open... I am scared... I don't believe I can pay my bills... if you do not want to commission me I have paypal and accept tips... please."

I'm glad Tumblr finally added archive back to users without blogs. I could be wrong about their sideblog being not a sideblog but the evidence is that they both were made in February this year (2023) and that the sideblog had a post made/reblogged in Feb 23. While their Stais blog had a post made in Feb 28.

What's worse is when I look for their username (their old one) Tumblr didn't show me any post so I just thought for awhile that I was an ass accusing someone. Finally, Tumblr worked and I saw some posts confirming my suspensions.

Many of the users that called out Stais of being a scammer not only got a reply from them (idk, their reply was deleted and yes I unblocked them to double check again) but many of the replies wanted answers from Stais whether their work was legit or not.

Apparently, given some time from reading, Stais must have made a big red flag answer. And that they copied the image but not directly. Using their eyes and hand coordination they were able to copy it line for line like the image making them exactly the same.

So, it's not impossible for that happen. However, given their lineart ability and constant drastic style changes. It's not right to over charge someone $70 just so you can traces someone else's work.

Continuing on my mini research. Apparently they have more then just two blogs. But from what I saw in the doc about 30+ blogs (I went back and count he has about 26+) ... I didn't count but god damn... this user have been going into many different fandoms and begging people to commission them giving out the same sob story.

So to conclude, I'm sorry artist and writers, there are many people who are struggling to make ends meet I understand, but if someone is begging you to commission them and they give out a sob story to guilt trip you.

Report them as scam and block. Make a post to spread awareness. Because even when this user, who made the doc, told Tumblr that this person has been doing this to others with many... many blogs. Tumblr ignore them and allow this scammer to thrive.

It's absolutely sickening to see.
