#I forgot to screenshot when I submitted my answer

[screen-writing-is-hard]

I think this is an acceptable contribution.

[anaquariusfox]

I spent the evening looking into this AI shit and made a wee informative post of the information I found and thought all artists would be interested and maybe help yall?

edit: forgot to mention Glaze and Nightshade to alter/disrupt AI from taking your work into their machines. You can use these and post and it will apparently mess up the AI and it wont take your content into it's machine!

edit: ArtStation is not AI free! So make sure to read that when signing up if you do! (this post is also on twt)

[Image descriptions: A series of infographics titled: “Opt Out AI: [Social Media] and what I found.” The title image shows a drawing of a person holding up a stack of papers where the first says, ‘Terms of Service’ and the rest have logos for various social media sites and are falling onto the floor. Long transcriptions follow.

Instagram/Meta (I have to assume Facebook).

Hard for all users to locate the “opt out” options. The option has been known to move locations.

You have to click the opt out link to submit a request to opt out of the AI scraping. *You have to submit screenshots of your work/face/content you posted to the app, is curretnly being used in AI. If you do not have this, they will deny you.

Users are saying after being rejected, are being “meta blocked”

People’s requests are being accepted but they still have doubts that their content won’t be taken anyways.

Twitter/X

As of August 2023, Twitter’s ToS update:

“Twitter has the right to use any content that users post on its platform to train its AI models, and that users grant Twitter a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to do so.”

There isn’t much to say. They’re doing the same thing Instagram is doing (to my understanding) and we can’t even opt out.

Tumblr

They also take your data and content and sell it to AI models.

But you’re in luck!

It is very simply to opt out (Wow. Thank Gods)

Opt out on Desktop: click on your blog > blog settings > scroll til you see visibility options and it’ll be the last option to toggle

Out out of Mobile: click your blog > scroll then click visibility > toggle opt out option

TikTok

I took time skim their ToS and under “How We Use Your Information” and towards the end of the long list: “To train and improve our technology, such as our machine learning models and algorithms.”

Regarding data collected; they will only not sell your data when “where restricted by applicable law”. That is not many countries. You can refuse/disable some cookies by going into settings > ads > turn off targeted ads.

I couldn’t find much in AI besides “our machine learning models” which I think is the same thing.

What to do?

In this age of the internet, it’s scary! But you have options and can pick which are best for you!

Accepting these platforms collection of not only your artwork, but your face! And not only your faces but the faces of those in your photos. Your friends and family. Some of those family members are children! Some of those faces are minors! I shudder to think what darker purposes those faces could be used for.

Opt out where you can! Be mindful and know the content you are posting is at risk of being loaded to AI if unable to opt out.

Fully delete (not archive) your content/accounts with these platforms. I know it takes up to 90 days for instagram to “delete” your information. And even keep it for “legal” purposes like legal prevention.

Use lesser known social media platforms! Some examples are; Signal, Mastodon, Diaspora, et. As well as art platforms: Artfol, Cara, ArtStation, etc.

The last drawing shows the same person as the title saying, ‘I am, by no means, a ToS autistic! So feel free to share any relatable information to these topics via reply or qrt!

I just wanted to share the information I found while searching for my own answers cause I’m sure people have the same questions as me.’ \End description] (thank you @a-captions-blog!)

FAQ

I forgot something in my post!  Will you add it? We cannot edit the content of an ad sent using the Ask feature.  We will delete your post for you if you are no longer interested in finding partners.

Where did my post go? We delete asks on a rolling 1 month basis to keep things current. 

‘X User’ is a minor! Yikes!  That’s no good.  Send us a screenshot with proof and we will block that little scamp!

‘X User’ is a predator/abuser! Yikes!  That’s no good.  Send us a screenshot with proof and we will block that asshole.

‘X User’ ghosted me! That’s rough, buddy.  We’re very sorry you guys didn’t gel, but there’s nothing we can do about that.  Send us another ad!  There are lots of potential partners out there waiting for you!

Is there anything you won’t publish? We do not allow RPF ads for celebrities under 18.  We also will not post ads that state the seeker is okay with writing with persons 17 and under.

Why haven’t you published my post yet? We try to keep turnaround time under 24 hours, but some days are rougher than others.  If it has been 48 hours since you submitted your ad and it followed the rules, please feel free to resend.  However, please do check the tags to see if your ad has been posted before resubmitting.

Do I have to include my age in my ad? Not specifically to be published, no, but you may want to add it as information for potential partners when it gets thrown out into the roleplay tag.

Ewwww, you’re a proship blog?? Pro-ship means to be in favor of letting others ship fictional characters in whatever way they want.  Any other definition you have been given is false.  We don’t care what blorbos you ship or why; therefore, we are pro ship.

How do you keep minors off your blog? The short answer is, we probably don’t, but we’re doing our best.  We block followers who have an under 18 age in their bios.  If an ad states that the user is okay roleplaying with people under 18, that ad is not published and you will be blocked.  We rely heavily on the honor system, as a lot of 18+ blogs have to, but if you find out a minor has interacted with your posts or contacted you, please let us know.

Is the inbox empty? No.

Hey hey HEYYYYYYY it's 2022 Nanbaka Survey Results Time!!!

No I have not forgotten about the survey, I have just been quite busy in reality land. Today we are going to break down some of the data I collected over the past 2 months!!!

First things first, WE HAD PARTICIPATION. Like 95 people summited there info in contrast to the 30 ish people who submitted last year!! The main reason is probably because I had more connections, but I am still gooped gabed and gobsmacked at the amount of people who participated this year!!!

Also, in this year's survey, I got a bit more personal! For example, the who's your favorite character and how far are you in the manga questions, which I will elaborate more on when it is their time to shine!

Question 1: What's your Name? (Optional)

Um I ask this question to just so I know names and I feel like there is actual people doing the survey, I don't really need to, and it's just a thing I like. I'm not going to name any names here, but y'all have cute names, and ❤️I love all you❤️. Platonically.

Question 2: Which of these is you?

This is the gay measurement, Nanbaka is a gay anime, and I want to see the gayness of the fandom. Me myself, I am pansexual, and it's just a thing. Normally, I would screenshot the actual graph that Google created, but I made a giant mistake. I forgot to put gay/lesbian on the survey, and I ended up adding it later, in the middle of the time. So I'm just going to just type out all of the data as follows.

Pansexual: 14 people (14.7%)

Bisexual: 29 people (30.5%)

Asexual: 26 people (27.4%)

Non Binary: 16 people (16.8%)

Transgender: 14 people (14.7%)

Cisgender: 13 people (13.7%)

Gay/Lesbian: 12 people (13.2%)

Straight: 10 people (10.6%)

General Queer: 1 person (1.1%)

Aromantic: 4 people (4.4%)

Demiromantic: 1 person (1.1%)

Unlabeled: 1 person (1.1%)

Questioning: 3 people (3.3%)

Bioromantic: 2 people (2.2%)

Hetromantic on the Ace Spectrum: 1 person (1.1%)

Genderfluid: 4 people (4.4%)

Genderqueer Polysexual: 1 person (1.1%)

Omisexual: 1 person (1.1%)

Alrighty, so there is the data, but I am going to shout out specific hand typed answers that I thought where just great.

"Those straight people who think anime women are hot." (Incredibly Valid)

And the response that reminded me I forgot gay

"gay. Y'all forgot gay."

Question 3: How did you find out about Nanbaka?

Alrighty so since Google is being a poopy face, I will rewrite the longer answers.

A gif of it from Tumblr lead me to check it out

Saw a friend get into it 5 years ago, so I got into it too

YouTube recommendations wouldn't stop showing EP 1 of Nanbaka on my recommended feed

Mi mi mi amv

I saw it on an ad while watching something else

I saw a fan made video on YouTube recommended

A Facebook page

Quite honestly I forgot how I found it.

YouTube is putting in the work and effort, to bring people here which is stunning, I'm glad that everyone has their own journey and good for y'all.

Question 4: How do you enjoy this Magical Mystery Ride?

A simple one. It is so nice to just screenshot it and not have to deal with all of the extra stuff, and re type everything.

This question correlates with another question down the road but we will get there.

Question 5: Who is your Favorite Character?

We have lots of non choosers. This is what happens when the character creation is so good, that it is almost impossible to choose. Also we have a few "I can't choose one so I will choose multiple" which is also incredibly valid.

Alrighty 5 minutes later, I now have a list! Now I will type out the list so y'all can read it better.

Enki: 1

Rock: 6

Jyugo: 20

Nico: 15

Uno: 19

Momoko: 3

Samon: 13

Qi: 3

Kiji: 2

Elf: 1

Liang: 5

Musashi: 5

Korjio: 5

Mei: 4

Ikkaku: 2

Tskuamo: 3 (still can not spell his name)

Honey: 3

Inori: 1

Building 5 in general: 1

Yamato: 1

Taura and Tauro Twisters: 1

Hitoshi: 1

Mikazuki: 1

Can't choose: 5

Zakuro: 2

Shiro: 1

Hajime: 3

Misturu: 2

Ido: 1

Shin: 3

Upa: 2

V: 1

Trois: 1

Kenshiro: 2

Ishal: 1

Yamada: 2

Blank?: 1

Kyuubi: 2

Mao: 1

Tengu: 1

Hina: 1

Five more minutes later, I have completed that list!!! I am surprised that there is so much underated character representation, and we stan. Also everybody love love loves Jyugo and I love that.

Question 6: How far are you in the series?

I asked the question for one reason and one reason only, to give people the resources so they can CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE SERIES. and get to know all of the characters. Since Pocket comics is not working out so well for Nanbaka, I will give some Sho approved resources so your can read it in English and/or truck through it in Japanese. (Because that's pretty much what I do since not all of the manga is translated. You just gotta pretend you know what's going on.)

So there are some main categories for people in the survey,

1. The people who just watched the anime to the end.

If you feel content that's awesome, but also resources.

2. People who have felt the magic disappear, and where just done. (They don't truly have any interest in reading further)

Cool beans.

3. People who are stuck on 192.

It is the dreaded number of doom. It the last chapter available "illegally" on the internet, and is the last chapter formated by the legendary sleepykat.

4. People who have read what has been translated.

5. The people who have read all of the manga with or without translation. (Translation: they can read Japanese or can just suck it up like me)

So here are my resources, the "legal" ones.

The first one is the legendary Sleepykats blog : @when-will-i-sleep

This will get you to chapter 193-198. She also explains how to get into comico, which I will not be explaining because I'm surprised I did it myself.

Here is the Nanbaka Comico Page, where you will find Nanbaka in it's raw, uncut form. Yes! You will have to watch a bunch of stupid videos, play silly applications, or invest your own money into this! It is an investment! Because this is Sho Futamata's LIVELYHOOD. She lives, laughs, loves, off of this, so no complaining!

https://comico.jp/comic/27

This is the random word document that has all of the chapters from when sleepykat stopped, to chapter 333. Pretty legit.

https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/mobile/folders/1-oUcoitDKmeU5RxgLz_8eskOgN8bREo6

And that is all I can do. I can not translate any of the further chapters, due to my inability to speak Japanese, I cant do anything. If I find anymore resources, I will try my best to give them out, but Nanbaka is kinda on it's way out, so hopefully there is a new titan of translation. But for now there is not.

Question 7: Age Range!!

Another simple one!!

MMMMMMM pie graph.

Well, I hope that all of you feel enlightened and full of information about the lovely fandom that we have!! I would usually connect data, but this post is super long, so I'm just going to end it! I hope all of you have a great day, and stay stunnnnniiinnnggg✨✨✨

[domjaehyun]

would you wanna talk more about the poetry you almost got published? 🥺

omg ….. yes ….. wtf yes jsjfsjdj okay wait i’m gonna try and control my response bc . i rly don’t think i should go on abt everything i wanna mention (update: i didn’t rly control my response that much i just spared you like . the nitty gritty of my poems/poetry specifically) if you don't wanna read what i have to say as i gush abt poetry for several paragraphs, you prob don't wanna click the read more jdfgsjldk

but i wrote a poetry chapbook (a collection of poems) a few years ago and it was entirely based on flowers!! so yknow how flowers have meanings? i found 50 diff flowers with all different meanings and i wrote a poem about each flower !! and a lot of the poems are like . some of my best work like some of them i read out loud and i literally can’t finish without crying or like i notice lil things i did and i’m like DAMN that was clever 😭😭😭

and i submitted it to a couple of publishers that were doing chapbook contests and if you won you got a cash prize and you got published! and i didn’t win THOSE but i wasn’t super discouraged bc like . i was 20 . i was up against like . Adults like full blown adults who were probs seasoned poets so i was like fine w it bc it’s good practice anyway!! but so somehow i got the idea to just. submit directly to an agency and i kinda forgot abt it for a while and then one day i got a Thick Packet in the mail from them (which, as i know from my college application days, is usually a very good sign) and !!! when i opened it, i flipped out bc i’d gotten a publishing offer!!!!!!! at 20!!!!! like that was insane to me and my mom and i freaked out abt it and i texted my old gc from college (we all took the same advanced poetry class) and told them and they were super excited for me!!!!

i didn’t end up taking it, though, bc like . the agency said basically that bc i’m young and previously unpublished and wouldn’t have had a pre-existing audience (all valid concerns to have as a publishing agency obviously) that it was more of a risky endeavor to publish me so they offered to publish me if i gave them like . basically at least 2k i think it was 2400 or 2700 … i’ll check i still have the emails and pics of the correspondence but like . again . i was 20 !! i was working at a pretty poorly paid job like . i literally had no disposable income to save up :/ like p much all my money went to helping my mom with bills, my transportation to and from work, food on my lunch breaks, and like . a fraction of it would go to like . living my life and trying to have a fragment of fun yknow?

so i ended up not taking the deal bc i couldn’t afford it :////// was super bummed abt that part but like it’s all good!!

and then like maybe a year or 2 later i submitted the same chapbook (i think i had to select 30 poems to meet the page limit) to a small publishing press that specifically centered around lgbt+ women i think? and during the height of the BLM movement, they did a kind of contest but they waived the fee for any black poets so i figured there was literally no harm in trying yknow? and they answered me a whiiiile later (which was fine !! they were a small literary press and i wasn’t in a rush) and while they didn’t pick me for the winner, they gave me like . super touching praise !!! it meant the world to me !!!

i’m gonna . find some of the screenshots of what they both said hol on OKAY i found them hehehe the first one is the one that DID offer a publishing deal

and this one below didn’t BUT said very lovely things to me !!

i just blurred out the name of the chapbook sjfjsjdj im not sure if i wanna have that out rn but yeah !!!

i loooooooove poetry i love writing it it’s like the only time i actually allow myself to process my emotions and thoughts? like my writing fiction is escapism and daydreamy but my writing poetry is very cathartic and personal and rooted in My Feelings !! plus, writing poetry is in a way more freeing in that you don’t have to follow all the linguistic rules bc it’s your form and you can do what you want !! but at the same time it can be a lil more daunting for that exact same reason like . there are NO rules so pretty much Everything You Do should serve a purpose !! but yeah i really love writing poetry and talking abt my poems and stuff and :) yeah :D my mom and i were talking the other day and she rly wanted me to like . join a creative writing poetry club or like somewhere where i can talk abt and share my poetry !!! which rly does sound so cool and awesome but like again . Shy . what if i get there and i feel super inferior to everyone else 😭😭😭 what if i get there and they just like . fuckin hate me for idk what reason 😭😭😭 it’s a lot it is stressful i am Tense abt it but i wanna do it sooooo badly omg

hhhhh yeah 💖 i think poetry-writing-me is the most honest/authentic version of me i’ve ever met tbh :p like i’ve always kinda struggled w like my personal identity and like Who I Am bc i usually just like . adapt to ppl and groups and situations as i see fit and i’m typically extremely good at it !! but it makes me tense sometimes bc i know there are things i’m holding back to like . appear more palatable ig? but when i write poetry it’s not like i’m proving myself to anyone or trying to . impress anyone idt like . it’s just for me . it’s like dancing when no one’s watching you!! actually i saw a quote the other day that was like. “who are you in a dark room with no mirrors” or smth and that . punched me right in the gut ngl i was like Damn Who Am I For Real……

but yeah poetry me is like . the closest i’ve felt to that situation !! more so like the stuff i wrote after my poetry classes bc like . i was aware the poems were gonna be read by my peers and my professor so i couldn’t . rly . go into intense detail abt just how Not Okay I Was jdjfksdk my teacher was extremely perceptive as it was like . she clocked me on smth i didn’t think she was gonna notice and then when she directly asked me abt it i remember i literally just. burst into tears sjfjdjdj and then moving forward i like !!! FAKED getting better in a poem like i wrote a whole poem abt how i’d started fixing that issue bc i knew she would see it and i didn’t want her to worry sjfjdjdj but surprise . i was not okay . i was Lying 👀 was being sneaky in a silly goofy mood 💖

my scorpio moon was not fucking around that day she got found out and was like “oh never again” and buried the emotion far far underground 💖

okay i digress and im sure i gave you way more than you anticipated or asked for so . yes 💖 thank you for asking i love talking abt this stuff 💖

[anxiousnerdwritings]

Ok so this is gonna look weird since im doing this on my computer and i might have some uppercase sentences but hopefully this works and if it doesnt f also first time submitting and it might not show up as anonymous so f to me again help m e anyway if this doesnt work then i'll just continue to send in works through asks bc i cant figure shit out lmao.

You stopped for a moment before saying, “damian, you’re supposed to be with batman trying to fight the other batman, why are you here?” Damian seemed to freeze up, but before he could explain anything, you pressed on. “And what happened to your costume? I don't think he would let you get a new one.”

The 4 strange batkids who seemed to appear out of nowhere stood there not knowing what to do, and as you sat there wondering why they seemed like they were… before the joker gas, you also had to wonder why they were there. Who were they? Where were they from? The other batkids got killed when… “batman” killed them.

One of the kids you recognized was Cassandra, if you remember correctly. It was strange seeing her so.. Well, alive. You never met the actual batkids before, since the batman who laughs only found you after a reign of chaos, but you had heard about them, and in some files you found when you had a bit more freedom, they spoke of who they were and what they could do. Of course you had to put them back when your “dad” came back around, but you were still able to read some of them. 

The others you couldn’t remember as well, since you were only able to read up on 2 or 3 batkids. However, you weren’t able to think about that when one of them, who looked a little tiny and had a staff said “we need to find somewhere to hide, those robins are coming back down.”

Oh fuck, I forgot, I asked them to bring some food down! Well, now I feel bad about being hungry…

You were about to let them hide in your room, but then you saw the blasted door and thought, yeah, that's not gonna work. You looked around and remembered that stupid hiding place you found a couple of weeks ago while playing the robins version of hide and seek. It was such a good hiding spot that your “dad” actually had to come and drag you out.

Yeah, it wasn't a fun time.

But at least now you have a hiding spot. You motioned for them to follow you down the large hallway, and then opened up two double doors. Inside was a room of sculptures from all over the place. You walked them over to a sculpture of a man who appeared to be crying while sitting on a bench, and let them behind it. There was a small gap that you squeezed through and pressed 6 tiles in a pattern, before it revealed a sort of bunker like room. You led them inside and right as you were able to hear the screeching of the robins, you closed the door.

*

You sat there for about 10 minutes before you heard things quieting down. For the most part you heard the robins stomping around, trying to find you. You were honestly surprised to see that they didn’t just look where you were last time. A question pulled you from listening to the thumps.

“Why did you recognize Damian's voice?” you turned around and saw the same boy who had alerted you of the robins approaching had asked you. You turned to him fully before explaining, “this… earths, I guess you could call it, batman did have a damian wayne, but when he… ya know, became evil, he turned damian into one of them. He really doesn’t speak unless spoken to, which is also really rare. I was just surprised to see you since I thought you were supposed to be with him while they fight that one earths batman.”

Damian gave you a weird look and said, “I'm not the Damian from this earth, as you call it.”

You stared at him for a moment before going back to your mind. Not from my earth? What does he mean by that? Besides, what's with all the other batkids being alive? And even if they are here, and from a different earth, what would they be looking for? Was it money? No, batkids from all over never really want money, they want to follow, well, batman. So that means their batman must’ve sent them here. But why?

You turned back to the batkid with a staff and asked, “I'm sorry, I've never heard of you, what's your name?”

You saw Cassandra hold her hand to her mouth while Damian seemed to smile. Probably just your imagination, though. “Red Robin.” he said, as he looked down, seemingly a little embarrassed.

You tried to remember who had that name, but nothing came up, until….

“Oh, I remember now! You're the one that likes coffee, right?” he scratched the back of his neck, before nodding.

Cassandra was the next to ask questions. “Why don't you know the robins from this earth?” you leaned back into the wall behind you and said, “easy, I wasn’t there when you all died.” the mood immediately died after you said that, and it became extremely awkward. 

Damian asked, “why are you even here?” “I'm supposed to know? I don't even know why he didn’t kill me to be honest with you.” 

Damian asked, “why are you even here?” “I'm supposed to know? I don't even know why he didn’t kill me to be honest with you.” 

Damian was about to ask something else when his comm beeped for a moment. He answered it, before you heard someone say, “damian, you better have found the damn thing, because we're being overrun!” 

From the other line, you were able to hear the screeches of robins from all over, and the grunts of whoever was speaking. “Ugh- just get the thing, and head out! We've got them distracted!”

Damian immediately got up and grabbed your upper arm, before opening the door. “We're leaving, we don't have much time.” without another word, you followed them out of the strange bunker and back into the hallway.

*

Sneaking past the robins was easy. Sneaking past the guards was… not so easy. You were wondering how they even got in when, instead of heading towards the entrance to the fortress, they turned a random corner and dragged you down somewhere else. 

“Hey, not to sound rude, but the exits that way,” you pointed back to the two large doors that were heavily guarded, “why are we going this way.”

Cassandra turned back to face you. “We didn’t enter that way.” you were about to ask a question when you entered a tiled hallway. They brought you to one specific area and you could only assume that it was the same puzzle as the bunker, enter the right code and you would get into a secret tunnel.

Damian seemed to try and remember what the puzzle was, before he entered an unknown combination and the doors opened. He smirked before coming to the person who had distracted the robins.

“Nightwing, we’ve got the obj-” he looked at you before realizing that might’ve been rude. “... the… person, we’ve got the person.”

“It’s a what now?!” “Just get back to the ship and we’ll be off!”

He dragged you into the tunnel that seemed to be extremely long, and you continued like that in the dark, sprinting through the dark tunnel while you heard random noises everywhere else. Finally, you almost ran into the end of the tunnel, and when it was opened it was almost like a breath of fresh air. Well, it was a breath of fresh air, but this is the first time you’ve really been able to see the planet. Even in the dark, you were able to tell that it was a beautiful jungle. 

Being shoved into a nearby bush startled you but when you went to ask why red robin had pushed you, he held a finger to his lips, and pointed out of the bush.

There were two large guards with their weapons walking over to the door, and looking around. You saw the batkids make hand signals out of the corner of your eyes, but before you would even say anything, a large explosion from the other side of the fortress brought your attention.

Without a second glance the two guards ran around the building before disappearing to a corner of the wall. Waiting a few seconds to see if anyone was there, before red robin helped you up and the 5 of you started running to who knows where. It felt like a couple minutes before you suddenly stopped and went on a little wrist tablet and started typing. 

This resulted in a jet appearing from nowhere, before you realized that it was a wonder woman's invisible jet. “Did you guys recreate it or something?”

Cassandra gave you a weird look before you doubled back, and said, “Oh I forgot, this is from your earth.”

Walking around in grass and leaves felt surreal to you, but now you finally have a chance of leaving. Running up the ramp, you almost cried in relief when you realized that no this wasn’t you mind playing tricks on you. But that would have to come later, since you still had to leave the planet.

And as you took off, watching the fires swallow up the nearby trees, and the robins desperately try to find you, you really wanted to start laughing from joy.

Thank you for submitting an ask <3

Eye of the North, 1333 AE

Nyra knows all too well that there is no time to mourn during war. It’s battle after battle, plan after plan, skirmish after skirmish, all bloody distractions from the weight of the hole in your chest that forms when someone you love dies. This war against the twin dragons takes twice as much time as the others have; she sits in meetings, runs to save as many lives as she can when danger strikes, tends to the wounded and there simply isn’t space to think of the sword standing in Jora’s Keep.

But at night, there is so much space to think of Almorra that Nyra can barely stand it, so she doesn’t. She leaves her bedroll, gives Trahearne a kiss on the head (because she likes him near after the Maguuma debacle), thanks the Gods she is able to do so and puts on scrapped winter wear for a long, lonely night beside the planning table.

That night in particular she is surprised to find Logan has beaten her to the spot.

“What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be sleeping?” she questions, shaking her head.

“I should ask you the same thing,” he answers back with a frown of his own. “So I solved the mystery of you always being earlier than the rest of us.”

Nyra looks away. “Logan, it’s fine. Remember that attack Sigfast suggested? Well, someone’s gotta plan it. I’ll have something ready by the morning. Go to sleep.”

“And do you remember the last plan you made while lacking on sleep? Had Almorra not interjected-”

“Just go to sleep, Logan,” she says harshly, “I got this!” She really doesn’t want to yell at him, not at night, not at a person who’s been there for her even before she was just Hero of Shaemoor, but she also doesn’t want to hear Almorra’s name mentioned when she is running from it.

“I couldn’t sleep either,” he responds and Nyra can’t help but appreciate the firm gleam in his green eyes, so neatly Ascalonian her family would be proud, in spite of her annoyance. “And no, you don’t. Nyra, you can’t pretending this is fine anymore. You’re falling into habits you promised you would break.”

“I didn’t know I’d be fighting two elder dragons at once, did I,” she responds, pressing towards him, “nor did I know my general would be killed by her idiotic, self-serving Imperator!”

“But you have the world by your side,” he states gently. His hand gingerly reaches to wrap around her shoulders and Nyra takes a deep breath as she digs her face in his neck. “You’re not alone.”

“I know,” she whispers, closing her eyes. There’s a familiar heaviness that settled in her chest years ago, an ever expanding list of names she sacrificed in name of Tyria, that fate took from her. She remembers her early days among the Vigil, Forgal’s stern instructions, a derisive princess when she stated her lineage, Almorra’s paw on her shoulder as a job well done. She hasn’t yet seen Laranthir to give him her condolences, but her letters must have reached him.

“Let us carry some of the burden,” he continues. “The world will not fall apart without you at the helm of it at all times, I promise.”

“It sometimes feels like it,” she grumbles. “But I really don’t want to sleep now, and I don’t want to be unproductive.” She wipes away a little tear that slipped past. “And someone has to plan that attack. So, help me?”

“If there’s no other way with you tonight,” she feels him nod.

“Afraid not, Marshal. Thank you for indulging me.” A burden shared is a burden halved, so the saying goes, and Nyra hopes it’s true.

But it doesn’t hurt to try, does it?

---------

I try being angsty, it turns into comfort welp

I love Logan and Nyra’s friendship and I wanna write more of it in the future <3

Also edit: I forgot I had actual Nyra and Logan screenshots... So I'm adding one here, just for flavour

Notes: Promised myself whirlcee in exchange for submitting a job app ^^ Humanformers, Whirl is a lesbian who uses he/him pronouns and Arcee is Arcee. Rated G, word count 995.

---

Arcee is already home when Whirl gets there, which means the last beer’s out of the fridge and he has to stick one in the freezer.

“Did you get paper towels?” she asks without looking up from her phone. Whirl almost regrets bullying her into getting it, but the blurry flip phone selfies were getting embarrassing. Plus, the screenshots of Instagram pirate cats captioned, “It’s you,” are pretty cute.

“There weren’t any.” He drops onto the couch next to her, leaning against her shoulder. She tries to shove him off, but he leans harder.

“Ugh, you’re sweaty,” she complains, before his answer catches up to her. “Wait, there weren’t any?”

“None.”

“Did you look?”

“I asked for a manager,” Whirl says. “Then, it turned out I was already talking to the manager, so I asked for his boss. And she told me their next shipment’s tomorrow.” Utterly ridiculous. What if their sink was leaking and they had to keep it contained while Arcee added plumbing to her ridiculously long list of skills? What does Aldi expect them to do then?

Arcee considers this. She knows Whirl is a good liar, but only because he’s impossible to believe when he is telling the truth. She takes a swig of her beer and offers him the bottle.

“Did you get any groceries?” she finally asks.

“Yeah,” he says. “They were out of waffle fries, too, so I just got regular.”

Arcee sniffs and Whirl knocks back the beer before handing it back. She’ll eat a Whopper she found on a park bench and is Drift’s preferred “smoothie” tester, but she’s particular about her potatoes.

“It’s about the sauce to fry ratio,” she’s explained on many, many occasions. It’s her default drunk rant, unless someone’s mentioned Prowl in the last hour.

“Cyclonus texted me,” she says out of nowhere. Whirl doesn’t want to stiffen, so he laughs instead.

“Cyclonus texts?” he asks. “I can’t even imagine it. Oh, let me guess, does she sign them all? Last name, first initial?”

Arcee shoves him again; gentler, this time, playful.

“You would know, if you ever talked to them,” she says.

“Cyclonus and I talk!”

“Outside of work,” Arcee says. She’s back on her phone again, and Whirl can see her scrolling through her messages out of the corner of his eye. “She and Tailgate want us to come over for dinner.”

Anyone who’s only briefly met the couple would assume it was Tailgate pressuring Cyclonus to do the nice thing, but Whirl knows them better than that. If Cyclonus is inviting, then she wants Arcee and Whirl to come over. Which is…

“Eugh,” he says and snags the beer again. “A dinner party?”

“Just the four of us,” Arcee says. “She said they’re taking care of the cooking, but you can make your enchiladas, if you want.”

That’s for Tailgate’s sake, Whirl knows. Cyclonus herself is immiscible with anything with a visible oily sheen.

“Maybe they finally got engaged,” he muses, instead of trying to answer the unasked question.

“Didn’t they elope?” Arcee goes along with it for now, because she loves him and is perfect.

“Did they?” He plays with his hook, wrapping his index finger around the blunt metal. “Tailgate was talking about it, but I thought Cyclonus wanted more pizzazz. She doesn’t seem like a ‘basement of city hall’ kind of bride.”

“They call each other ‘my wife.’”

“Yeah, and?” Whirl drops his hand back to his stomach. “Drift and Ratchet getting married hasn’t stopped Rodimus from calling Drift his husband.”

“You know that was for the drink special.” She squirms, finally submitting to their configuration, and ends up resting her head on Whirl’s forehead.

“You think—” he stops to blow ginger hair out of his mouth, “—you think that makes a difference to Rodimus?”

She doesn’t answer, which means she’s not sure, which means Whirl wins. He celebrates by breathing her in: familiar and a little spicy.

“You forgot to shower again.”

“Oh, like you’re one to talk.” She swats him and gets comfier. “How was your day?”

Neither of them are good at remembering to ask that, but they’re trying. Usually Whirl’s better at it.

“Normal,” he says. “Boring. I want to quit.”

“I know.” Her hand comes back to his shoulder, but this time it’s gentle, a comforting rub. “Kill your boss yet?”

“Only in my dreams,” he sighs. Arcee’s touch grows firm and she twists so she can kiss his forehead.

“Should I tell Cyclonus we’re coming?” she asks, her lips still pressed to his skin.

“You didn’t give her an answer?” That’s surprising. Arcee’s normally the speak first, think later type. It’s what got them talking to each other in that shitty group a couple years ago and Whirl considers it among her best qualities.

“They’re your friends,” Arcee says.

“Yours, too,” Whirl says. “How many contacts do you imagine Cyclonus keeps?”

His vision’s all hair; he can’t see her expression.

“I don’t—“

Whirl, ever a dramatic motherfucker, shoots up, and his head collides with Arcee’s nose. She yelps; he hisses. He whips around, horrified, but she’s already laughing, and he sags against her once he realizes it’s okay.

“So anyway,” he says once she’s calmed down, “they’re your friends too and we’re going just so Tailgate can prove that to you.” Tailgate… has a way with people like them. That Whirl is willing to forgive her for it says everything.

“Deal,” Arcee says with a smile that shows off her crooked incisors. She takes the beer back—Whirl’s splashed himself, he only realizes now—and finishes it before standing up. “Saturday night.”

He leans back into the couch as she disappears into the kitchen, feeling his shirt stick to him. He should probably shower.

“Babe, you forgot to put away the fries,” Arcee calls.

“What—are you taking my beer?”

Silence, followed by the sound of a bottle opening.

“It’s not even cold yet,” Whirl laughs as he gets up to follow her.

Slavmaeda- My (Hopefully Only) Statement

Note: The times listed here are mostly in EST. If it is in another time, it will state in parentheses. The other time will usually be Polish time.

Another Note: @slavmaedasaga exists, now, for all the posts. I don’t know who made it.

Possible Blackened-

Fir (aka Firanka)

Sunflower

Marshpy

Daniel

Jago

People who follow Sunflower / Marshpy / Fir / Jago

Gay Nagito Komaeda 

Experiencecarrots

Slavmaedasaga

Monokuma File- At an unspecified time this morning, Sunflower received an anon, posting “Slavmaeda rights” continuously until hitting the character limit. At 9:12 AM, Firanka confirms to receiving a similar ask. At 9:17 AM, Fir announces the case to a public discord server, “Danganronpa 2: Tropical Despair”. At 3:50 PM (POLISH TIME), Marshpy receives this ask. At 10:13 AM (or six minutes later, according to Fir), Jago receives a Slavmaeda rights ask. Then, everything went to hell.

TRUTH BULLETS

Alternate Anons: Other anons during this initial period of time were sending Sunflower asks.

“Fir”: One of these anons, not sent by Fir, uses her nickname.

Marshpy’s Account: She states to not having enough bastard energies, as well as her identity as “not Slavic” as proof of her innocence.

See: Marshpy’s Confession.

Marshpy’s Confession: Marshpy admits to sending the asks that went to sunflower and Fir, but none others.

She says she thought it would be funny.

Jago’s Account: [Jago’s] main line of defense is the website & the fact [Jago is] managing a group RP at the same time, [Jago] didnt even have tumblr opened until the situation started.

Jago proves in a screenshot that the first time she opened tumblr was at 10:12 AM.

Sunflower’s Account: She was typing up a character analysis, talking on a server, and answering other posts. Therefore, she did not have time to post these.

Worth noting that later, she would mark the times she was on/off tumblr.

Fir’s Account: She claims to being “confused the entire time”, which she admits herself is a weak alibi. She also states which specific anons she sent sunflower, none of these being the Slavmaeda posts.

See: Fir’s Confession.

Typing Patterns: The first ask was the same set of three “Slavmaeda rights” copy pasted, meaning that every third “Slavmaeda rights”, starting from the first one, had a capital S.

The second was in this same pattern.

The third was in all caps.

The forth had alternating letter capitalization.

Note: After this point, so many asks were coming in that it is hard to establish which typing patterns were used. However, it is worth saying that there were different typing and capitalization patterns.

Notes (Kind of useless but I typed it so whatever): As of typing this, Jago’s post received no notes.

Marshpy’s only received Sunflower and Fir’s declarations of innocence.

Sunflower’s posts received scattered notes.

Fir’s received an unspecified number of notes.

Sunflower’s posts, later, were reblogged frequently by the account “slavmaedasaga”

Daniel’s Account: Daniel is a bastard.

They have no tumblr account, so they can’t leave notes.

Anons can be sent without a tumblr account.

See: Daniel’s Confession.

Jago’s Website: “[It’s] not finished and navigation still is wonky but I can show if I need to prove [I’m] not really paying attention to tumblr rn”

It’s a really dope website not going to lie.

Just. Well done, Jago.

However, this could have been an alibi, planned, as Jago has been watching but suspiciously not contributing much.

Class Trial Rules: Only the first blackened gets punished.

This has nothing to do with anything.

We aren’t a class so technically it’s not a class trial.

But this is still an interesting point, motivation wise.

RickRolling Part One: Daniel is a bastard and a Mikan Kinne.

Deleted Message: Fir paraphrases it as “[trial participants] haven’t noticed something.”

This was deleted.

Daniel sent it.

Threat: “The Slavmaeda Revolution will continue without you” was sent to Marshpy at 10:31 AM.

Daniel claims this was not them.

Fir’s Confession: Fir claims to have sent the Slavmaeda asks to Jago and Marshpy, but did not send the Slavmaeda Revolution asks.

Rickrolling Ask: Someone copy and pastes the lyrics to “Never Gonna Give You Up” and sends it to Fir. After maybe a minute, she receives another Slavmaeda Rights ask.

This Slavmaeda Rights has the same typing patterns as Marshpy’s, except it cuts itself off at the end with a dash.

Threat Redux: Sunflower receives an ask that says “the slavmaeda nation shall remain eternal”

Gay-Nagito-Komaeda’s Account: They just follow Fir and are confused.

They’re innocent it’s just worth noting.

They later joined the Tropical Despair Discord Server.

Sunflower’s Ask: “slavmaeda is inevitable. succumb.”

10:55 AM.

Unsettling Truth: There is no way to track this, because, while certain asks have to have been sent by people in the server contextually, there could be people following Sunflower sending her asks, Fir sending her asks, etc.

Re: The Unsettling Truth: “Slavmaeda has already infiltrated your little trial. You are not safe there. Submit to the revolution.”

10:58 AM

Sunflower’s New Ask: The same Slavemaeda Rights that came with the Rickroll Fir received.

Sunflower’s Time Off Tumblr: 11:07 AM-11:09

11:20 AM-

Other Shit: “Rick rolling is the Slavmaeda National Anthem” (11:09 AM) (Fir)

Slavmaeda Rights (Robyn) (11:11 AM)

“Slavmaeda Slavmaeda Slavmaeda Slavmaeda” (Fir) (11:13) (not an anon, sent as daniel)

Daniel’s Confession: This fucking Mikan Kinnie.

Sent “a lot of [fir’s asks]” and “sent the revolution one to marshpy”

Experiencecarrots: “slavmaeda is the only alibi :)”

I’m gonna be honest, nobody on this server claims to be carrots.

So I have no fucking clue what is going on.

By the way, [I] is Sunflower.

THOUGHTS BEFORE POSTING:

It’s so fucking hard to track so I’m not sure if this is even accurate. This is the most information I’ve got. I’m also tired, so I haven’t looked through this in too much depth. But I think this is correct.

HANGMAN’S GAMBIT

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

r e v o l u t i o n

WHITE NOISE

Lyrics to Never Gonna Give You Up

EDIT ONE - The server this is on is Danganronpa 2: Tropical Despair. 

EDIT TWO - Ignore the Hangman’s Gambit and White Noise, I got carried away.

EDIT THREE - Experiencecarrots confirms to not be on the server. I sort of figured because I think we were mutuals long before this happened, but at the same time, I’m confused as all hell.

EDIT FOUR - Maybe the real culprits were the friends we made along the way.

EDIT FIVE - Carrot’s Account (via tumblr): “Hey hey hey! I only liked the post because I refresh my feed every 2 seconds and like whatever’s there. And I follow pretty much anyone I find, so ha. Also thanks for letting me be a suspect, quite the honor if I say so myself :)” This is regarding claims of being suspicious due to being the first likes on posts, as well as following slavmaedasaga.

EDIT SIX - Gay Nagito Komaeda’s Confession: They sent Fir the rickroll ask, which was incredibly coincidental, considering that they were not in the Tropical Despair Server at the time they sent it, nor at the time Daniel rickrolled us. That was pure fucking luck. Holy shit.

EDIT SEVEN - slavmaedasaga is, most likely, on Tropical Despair. They updated the rickroll post with, in the tags, “komaeda”, meaning that they knew that it was Gay Nagito Komaeda. HOWEVER, I am aware that I updated my post with this information. We have no actual timestamps of who did what exactly, but it was within minutes of each other. My personal thoughts are that this is a person on the server, but I’m not certain.

EDIT EIGHT - slavmaedasaga claims to be a single person. It is worth considering that they could not be, but I have a feeling like they are a single person. 

EDIT NINE - Daniel knows who slavmaedasaga is. It’s probably Daniel, isn’t it. We should have seen that coming. (But I will hold my suspicions until they say it themself.)

EDIT TEN - I want to make a public apology for mistreating my spaghetti. I understand that, in the light of recent allegations regarding slavmaeda and the trial ongoing to find the blackened, it may have appeared as if I have been so caught up in the information that I forgot to treat my spaghetti with care. I assure you in the future that I will never hurt my spaghetti again. 

EDIT ELEVEN - There is now a tumblr blog called “slavmaeda rights”, which is entirely focused on slavmaeda rights. I’m losing my mind.

EDIT TWELVE - Slavmaedarights deleted their post that had “Slavmaeda rights” over and over.

EDIT THIRTEEN - Worth clarifying. There are technically two “og Slavmaeda” people. One is Fir, who started all of this by mentioning the concept of slavmaeda. The other is Marshpy.

EDIT FOURTEEN - Slavmaedasaga is in Tropical Despair. We raised suspicions in this server (More specifically, Gay Komaeda Nagito did) that they were the same as slavmaedarights. They very quickly made a post denying this. Therefore, they have to have been in the server. 

EDIT FIFTEEN - Slavmaedarights posted again (just slavmaeda rights over and over) then deleted it. I never saw this with my two eyes. Marshpy and Gay Nagito Komaeda are eye witnesses. Some of the “S”s in rights were capitalized, according to Marshpy, which is vital to consider. Marshpy claims that there is no isolated S in this post, but she isn’t certain. Also worth considering. A deviation from a familiar pattern, which is interesting. 

EDIT SIXTEEN - TWO CRUCIAL BITS OF INFO! The description of Slavmaedasaga is “Hope” in Bulgarian. Also, Daniel bluffed when they said, in the Tropical Despair server, that they knew who “Saga” is. They just wanted clout. This is important info-- we have no leads on Slavmaedasaga. But we do know that it was likely not Daniel. Daniel accuses Marshpy. who knows. 

EDIT SEVENTEEN - Marshpy was shopping when "Saga” started, and Daniel sent a cryptic smiley face. They claim they were wrong about accusing Marshpy. 

EDIT EIGHTEEN - SLVRights = Damien. They aren’t the same person as SLVSaga. Daniel has shown evidence that they only have one blog. I’m getting funky anons. One anon is the same person, sending theories. There are some others. The theory anon also called me sun, which isn’t explicitly odd but I guess you can consider it. Not sure what else to say. 

EDIT NINETEEN - Haven’t been updating this enough. I’m getting a lot of messages and asks. “Beg. Beg for the answers. Slavmaeda is an unforgiving god. -Damien” was posted, then deleted, on the SLVRights blog in binary. I have an anon in binary. I’m inclined to believe they aren’t the same person. Someone on the server, not related on the tumblr side but helpful on the server side, has a theory. They have yet to say. I have a new ask.

EDIT TWENTY - Firanka wanted me to say that a lot of Tropical Despair people are having wifi issues. I highly doubt this is relevant. Damien posted something. I won’t type it here, because it is long, but I’ll see if I can reblog it. If not, I’ll write a transcript. Thanks for sticking with me. 

EDIT TWENTY ONE - A lot has gone on. Worth saying, I turned off my anonymous asks. Nothing happened. As in like, nobody sent any asks. One of my friends did as a test. I kept it like that for a while. But, as Daniel put it, cryptid hints are better than no hints. 

EDIT TWENTY TWO - Further clarification, for those lost. According to present information, Binary, Saga, and Damien are all separate people. That is as far as we know. I don’t know everyone who did this, so I apologize if I leave certain people out, but Daniel, Nebby, Firanka (there is still suspicion), Glitter (on server), and I have shown screenshots proving we only have our one blog. There are likely loopholes, but... worth considering.

EDIT TWENTY THREE - New stuff surfacing. I’m worried people are getting anxious because of some of this. If you are, please prioritize yourself. Like, literally, even if you’re a huge part of this, if you’re getting stressed? Take a breather. Stay safe. Alright? Not to be the mom of this situation. But it’s important. Take care of yourself. I’m leaving this pinned, but as it winds down, i’m probably gonna unpin this post. But, still here if you ever want to figure stuff out. 

EDIT TWENTY FOUR - Approaching 400 posts. That’s interesting. Also, the suspect list on here isn’t updated. Updated information is in the edits alone. I haven’t even looked at the truth bullets since posting.

EDIT TWENTY FIVE - “Binary” was run by @experiencecarrots. We don’t know who Saga or Damien (now going by just “B”) is. But. Most of this has settled down.

EDIT TWENTY SIX - “Saga” was @firankamipinska. Still waiting for B.

EDIT TWENTY SEVEN - No closer to finding out B. A new day has started. Slavmaedanation has been created. They “declared war” against B. 

EDIT TWENTY EIGHT - @gayer-nagito-komeada was Rights. To be honest. I don’t know how we didn’t see that one coming. But. There you go. They’re Damien/B/Rights. Now it’s just Nation to figure out. 

EDIT TWENTY NINE - Nation is @firankamipinska. I’m not really surprised, probably because she told me she was Nation. Nation was essentially supposed to figure out who Damien was. I was too tired to give much of a shit. I woke up at 7 yesterday. I had no fucking spoons. Zero. 

FINAL EDIT - Four blogs, a discord server, a channel in a discord server, and many friends were made through the Slavmaeda experience. Thank you all for embarking on this crazy ass experience with us. I can’t believe that the day after my birthday, I helped create a meme. Have a nice day.

Journal entry #9

I'm almost done finally. I'm glad to see that in moodle I can attach pictures for my answer. I initially planned to include it in gmail. I had sent my answers for the Module 1 activate prior knowledge and assessment. I prefer to sent in mail since it is a diagram and it won't look good if I only do a screenshot of it. I have as well answered the post test for module 2. But I am yet to polish my journal. I know there are times that I forgot to input what I did for the day and I am trying to remember it. I focused on my module not knowing that this gratitude journal weigh as much as the learning tasks. This would serve as my midterm exam. Sometime from now, I'll submit my gratitude journal as well so that I'd be able to comply for my other courses. I felt relieved after all.

Thanks to God he does provide answers when I couldn't make it on my own. Knowing this helped me not to worry to much but doesn't mean I'm being complacent. This would be last entry. Ciao, adiós, au revoir, bye for now. Been a lovely time, absolutely!

No one is obsessed with you and no one is stalking you. You left a reply on an ask that wasn't sent to you and you were confronted about it with a counter argument. One you can't handle and couldn't answer so you made passive aggressive text posts about it. Don't dish out shit if you can't take shit.

I’m sorry what??? I answered it before I made that post. That post was an afterthought. An “oh yeah, I forgot to ask this.” I made that post well after I answered your ask. If I had my computer, I could easily screenshot time stamps for you. The situation is dead now and you’re STILL ON MY BLOG. Don’t make shit up and say I couldn’t take what you dished because I fucking did and you know it. Don’t lie because you’re bad at it. I answered your ask. I have told you this twice now and provided links when you sent me another bitchy ask because you saw that one text post and jumped at the opportunity to shut me down because you thought I avoided the question when I didn’t. Quick question, why are you so desperate to start shit on anon? Come off it. Or leave me alone like holy shit, because I don’t like one guy who doesn’t give a fuck about either of us on the internet?? Stop send me asks, stop saying I’m avoiding you when I’m not. Back off.

You got anything to do with that imgur folder full of my, Lana’s and Freyas blog I’ve been seeing pop up on other blogs, anon? They’re always anonymously submitted and I dunno, you’re spending a lot of fucking time on my blog.

This community has been a lifesaver for me, so I'm going to give back in the form of screenshots so you can see exactly what to look for when it comes to the EIDL portal email, the portal itself, and the process once you're inside.EIDL StatsFirst, my stats for the EIDL:Single-member LLC. Gross of about $93k in 2019.Applied 03/30 short form only.Application #33-00145XXX.Received EIDL Advance on 04/16. Here's a screenshot of what that looks like in your bank account.Called Tier 2 reps a couple times, but was only ever told I was in the "processing" stage. (Tier 2 Phone #: 1-877-641-8202)Received the portal email today (05/09/2020).Portal EmailOk so first things first, the portal email looks like this.The email comes from disastercustomerservice@sba.govThe email subject is: SBA Application No. 3300145XXX - Submitted ConfirmationI use Gmail and it did NOT go to my spam.When you create an account, it uses your email address and a 6 digit password (1 capitalized letter, 1 lowercase, 1 number).EIDL PortalNext, the portal itself looks like this.As you can see, there are several stages: Application, Processing, and Funding. Before you do anything, you're still in the application phase, and you'll move along through funding once you sign the closing documents.I was approved for $44,600. That is slightly less than half of my gross income from my 2019 Schedule C (although this is just my draft, I haven't filed yet). I have no idea why - I do not have any costs of goods sold. I believe it should have been $46,904, but I also have no idea what I put on my initial loan request. Close enough, I don't care.There are also several steps to complete: Verify Identity, Electronic Disbursement, and Sign Closing Documents.There's also the ability to review and accept the loan amount.I did not need to do anything for Electronic Disbursement, but I assume that's to update/edit your bank and routing information. I didn't want to mess with it, so I just left it alone since it was already marked "completed".First, I did the review and accept loan amount, which takes you to this screen.There's the slider bar, where you can choose the amount of your loan, between $1,000 and the max you were approved for.Underneath, there are the terms of your loan. Exactly what we've been told: 30 years, 3.75% interest rate, no payments due for a year, etc.The "accept" button got cut off in my screenshot, but basically once you are good with the loan amount, you hit accept and it takes you back to the previous page.Next, I needed to verify my identity. That took me to this screen.I answered 4 questions, all of which were typical identity verification questions like what streets I've lived on, counties I've lived in, etc.After that, back at the main screen there was a button next to the loan amount that said something like "Process Application". Sorry, forgot to get a screenshot. Now I'm in the "processing stage".This is what it looks like after you've completed all of that and hit the button.EIDL ApprovalWhen I was finished, almost IMMEDIATELY, I got this approval email.Again, it came from disastercustomerservice@sba.govThe email subject was: SBA Application No. 3300145XXX - ApprovedAgain, it did not go to my spam in Gmail. Oh, and if you notice, the time from the initial email to the approval email was like 18 minutes, and I was taking screenshots. It really only took a couple of minutes to do everything.I clicked "View Account" in that email, which took me back to my EIDL portal, but this time I was able to sign closing documents. Previously, the link to sign closing documents wasn't available.It lets you DocuSign them, and the process was almost identical to the PPP one if you've done that. It was very easy. Once I read it over and signed everything, I clicked "Finish". It then had me log back in to my EIDL portal account. You are also able to download/save/print a copy of the closing documents for yourself.And that's it for now. I logged back into my account once and it gave me the same screen, so there's nothing else for me to do but wait. It looks like it's currently in the funding stage, since the letters for funding are now red and were previously blue. I did not get any kind of confirmation email or anything else. Fingers crossed!If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

How PayPal Holds My Money for 1 Year Just Because I Use An Alias

Disclaimer: This is a story when I was trying to withdraw my money from PayPal account.This is still ongoing so it might get longer than 1 year. This is a very long story and it contains swear words. I’ll try to be as objective as possible.

Intended readers: PayPal employee (especially in customer service department or someone in high standing which seeks to improve the website’s experience), someone who got their account limited (especially for those with an alias name just like me), someone who’s still deciding to use PayPal, or someone who just likes to read (especially about other people’s misfortune like this)

I am one of those people who holds high about privacy. I don’t really like to put my personal information, especially my name, online. I even have an alias which acts like my second name in real life, and almost everyone I know in real life knows (and sometimes calls me by) that alias.

Back in 2014 (estimated year), I was searching for a way to get extra pocket money online. I found some PTC sites to start off with, which was quite great at the time (although after thinking about it again, it’s not). These sites usually offer cash outs in PayPal, which I don’t have at the time. Since I won’t be able to earn money without having this “PayPal” account, I decided to make one.

As a someone who doesn’t like to put their personal information, I obviously put my alias in it although the site warns me to use my real name (I mean, who’s even using their real name when registering to a website which they don’t know about?). I didn’t put any personal information in it, including credit card (since I don’t have any). I only need this account to store and send my money anyway, and it’s not even in big amounts in the first place. I thought that I won’t have any trouble with it. How naive i was.

Sure, it works smoothly in the first few months; I found better sites to earn money and get a decent amount of money from those. I even have enough money to buy in-game items online (yes, that’s actually what’s the money ended up become), until I received a limitation at March 2015, for a very vague reason.

“You have an unusual login activity in your account."

Or at least something like that, since I kinda forgot what it said.

FYI, I only opened my PayPal account from one device which was connected to a modem. I hardly change my modem at the time.

I was still trying to be calm at the time and start to seek for solutions. PayPal brought me to Resolution Center page, which asked me to do 3 actions: changing my password, changing my security question, and providing my credit card information.

The first two is easy to do, but the last one is... a nightmare. I don’t have a credit card and I never provide one for this site... ever. Why does it even want something that’s never been provided for their website before? I mean.. what do they even want to compare it with?

PayPal’s customer service is worse than today (2017) at that time. It also hardly have any support for my local language so I ended up searching for solutions online. I found out that I can provide my bank account instead of credit card for that step, but I need to email them first for confirmation.

I sent them an email, waiting for a response. I never heard from them until today. I didn’t do any follow ups because I don’t really need the money at the time. I’m still doing the “money making website” though, although I stored the balance in that site instead of cashing it out to PayPal. A few months later, I got tired doing it and ended up forgetting them completely.

Fast forward to 2017, I saw a great bundle and was thinking to buy it. I tried to check out from the website and paid using PayPal, which (obviously) failed. After sending a message to PayPal’s support, I ended up remember that my account is limited. Since I need the bundle so badly, I tried to resolve the limitation once again. Note that at this point, I have passed the “180 days hold” period which allows me to withdraw money to my bank account.

Me: Hey, I need your help. I want to resolve my limitation but I have no credit card. What should I do?

CS: (assumed reply from their copy paste answer) Just send your ID card instead and we’ll check it later.

Me: Sure, but I can’t seem to find the upload button. There are only text boxes. (sending screenshot links of the page). Anyway, will it be okay if my ID name is different with my PayPal name? I’m using an alias.

CS: (I’ll just copy paste his reply since it’s so hilarious) “To help protect your information, we don’t accept files that are sent as email attachments. Instead, we offer a more secure way to submit the information we’ve requested.“  (continues with providing the steps to “upload” my ID card in “credit card” step and the steps to request a name change)

PayPal added a new “Credit Card Info” step after that. Oh, cool. I can resolve my limitation just by requesting a name change. I needed the money so badly at that time that I don’t even mind to show my real name and give them my ID card. I shouldn’t do that.

After doing both of them, the required step’s status changed to “In Progress” and I got an email from the name change request afterwards. I decided to do a follow up.

Me: Hey, I got an email which says that I have to upload my personal info and a new step in the Resolution Center showed up which asked me to do a name change.

CS: (copy paste answer of how to complete the name change request)

I just assumed that they want me to do it through Resolution Center instead. After I did it, I noticed that the file doesn’t got uploaded like how my ID card picture in “credit card” step did. I ended up asking them about it and they didn’t reply to me.

I’m starting to run out of patience (since the bundle is ending soon) after another message exchange (and tons of name change requests). I ended up contacting them by phone after I read that I can request a Customer Service in my language online.

I called them on Saturday morning and it turns out that the Customer Service in my language only works in weekdays. Since I got no choice, I ended up talking with the guy I was talking to. I’m not really good at listening and speaking and I hardly can hear what he meant. It ended up horribly. I only explains my situation and how I already did what they want. He then replied that I just need to wait for 24h. Since I thought that he’ll check on it, I put off the phone, thinking that the limitation will be removed by tomorrow - which didn’t happen.

I got another email which says that my name change request got denied. I replied to it and ended up to have to start it from scratch again (with the copy paste answer despite the fact that I already explained my problem). After I asked them to start giving me a solution, they ended up asking me to change my password and security question again. 

I received another declined name change request a few days later (the leftovers from my previous requests). When I stated that I already went through this before, the CS only asked me to contact them by phone. What? Well, it might be because the CS is in name change department, not the limitation department. I ended up continuing my message with limitation department, which they replied with another irrelevant copy paste answer.

I got mad. I ended up making a copy paste template for them which explains the whole situation and how I already did all the steps they mentioned. They decide to joke around and send the exact copy paste answer as the ones I got previously (I even diffchecker it). Since I’m already bored after a few exchanges, I decided to send 5 of the same answers at once, hoping to get a new answer.

When I checked my PayPal the next day, my limitation message changed.

Feb 15, 2017: We've noticed some changes to your usual account activity and need a little more information from you to help confirm your identity.

I received another limitation. I got perma banned. I checked my messages and all of my messages are replied with “We are still reviewing your account”. Because that day is a non international public holiday, I was able to call the CS in weekday.

The receiver this time sounds clearer than the ones I got before. However, I didn’t want to make the same mistake as before, so I decided to talk with CS in my language.

Me: Hello, I have a limitation in my account.

CS: Oh, yes. I see that you just have it yesterday. It seems that you got perma banned. Sorry, but we can’t help you further.

Me: Pardon? I had the limitation since 2015 and I have been trying to resolve it since like a month ago.

CS: (checks it) Ah, yes. That limitation got revoked yesterday and you have a new one shortly after.

Me: That limitation never got revoked. Technically it is, but in reality, it isn’t.

CS: No, it HAS been revoked. But you received another one. You are breaching the ToS since you’re not using your real name. You’re in the wrong. Sorry, but we can’t help you further.

1) You can’t call it’s revoked if you put another limitation to it. I still have no access to my money. 2) You instantly label me as the bad guy. I admit that I’m in the wrong, but you can’t just stop caring about my inquiry after that. You technically still have my money and I still have a business with you. 3) “I can’t help you further”.. as in.. “Just turn off the damn phone?”

I lashed out. I told them how I try to cope up with their CS through messages for a month. I was given a false hope, saying that I’ll be able to resolve it with a name change. If I can’t, why don’t you just ban me faster? Why should I waste my time dealing with you guys for one fucking month for this?

She then trying to back herself up, saying that I haven’t submitted any documents. I said that I already give them my ID, but she seems can’t find them. She then tried to check it in case I send it through email. I never did it through email. How can I got banned if you didn’t get my ID? That’s the only document I submitted which can prove me in the wrong, aside the fact that I stated that I’m using an alias.

CS: I see that you have called us before.

Me: (What? Why the heck does she suddenly asked for that?) Yes.

CS: What’s his name?

Me: (Trying to pin the guilt on him, aren’t you?) Don’t know. Don’t remember.

She tried to change the subject. She’s not even saying sorry; not because of her rudeness, but for her as a part of PayPal for giving me an inconvenience and let me wait for a month to get banned (and “resolve” my case). Not that I’m excepting her to say sorry, but isn’t that just common sense in services? You should be saying sorry if you’re in the wrong, and your company’s incompetence is more than enough for that. She keeps on being rude to me instead, with the tone like wanting to end the conversation quickly.

Me: So you just ban people without reason, huh? (changing the subject to try to find out why I got banned in the first place)

CS: No, we never ban people without proper reason.

Me: Then, tell me. Why did I got banned in the first place?

CS: You are using a fake name.

Me: That’s the second ban, not the first one. I never said nor submitted any document which states that I’m using an alias. You ban people without proper reason.

CS: You are using a fake name. And no, we never ban people without proper reason.

Me: That’s the second one! The first one clearly states that I got “unusual login activity”!

CS: Who is <my alias name>?

Me: A fake name, an alias.

CS: See, you’re breaching the ToS. Your money will be limited for 180 days, and you’ll get an email when it can be withdrawn from your account.

You’re not answering the damn question! Just say that you can’t find the reason why I got a limitation back in 2015 which proves that you gave me limitation without proper reason! And no, “unusual login activity” isn’t enough excuse. I need a detailed info on that.

I got tired speaking with this CS and decided to end the conversation after making sure of everything.

Me: You know what? Forget it. You’re not answering my question. So, do I just need to wait for 180 days?

CS: Yes, and we will email you when you can withdraw your funds.

Me: Will I get another trouble when I withdraw my funds?

CS: No.

Me: My bank account name is different from my PayPal name. Is it possible?

CS: Oh. If it’s in a different name, then I��m afraid that you can’t do that. The bank can’t accept it if your name is different.

Great. You just said no before and we have been talking about me using an alias since minutes ago. How come you forgot about it? I’m sure you just want me to drop the call.

Me: So, what should I do? Should I create a new account with my real name so you can transfer the money to that one?

CS: No, no. You need to ask your friends or families’ account and we’ll help to transfer it there.

Me: Okay. So I just need to create a new account, right? (still unsure)

CS: No, not your account. You have been banned from PayPal. We need to transfer it to another account which is not yours.

Me: What? (I thought I am account banned, but it turns out that I am “person” banned) I can’t transfer it to my bank account? You took my money for a fucking 180 days already and I have to wait for another 180 days to withdraw it and you said that I can’t even transfer it to my bank account?

CS: It’s your money, not ours. (Convincing me that they’re not taking my money). You can take it back as long as we send it to another person’s account.

You said it’s my money. Why should I send it to other people’s account to get it? Isn’t that the same as “I MUST give my money to other people since you are perma banned from PayPal”? Why can’t they just let me make a new account (or they can make it for me instead) just for withdrawal purposes and ban the account after the withdrawal completed? I mean.. I’m not even planning to use PayPal anymore starting that day because of she pisses me off.

CS: How many accounts do you have?

Me: What?

CS: How many accounts do you have?

Me: (What? She’s trying to avoiding the question again since I’m lashing out to her at that time, or maybe she wants to ban my other accounts if I have more than one) Of course I only have one, miss. (After a deep breath while holding my anger since I’m super pissed at that time)

CS: Well, sorry, but you can’t make a new account. You have been banned from PayPal and you will be automatically blacklisted when you’re making a new account. If you don’t transfer it to other people’s account, I’m afraid that you can’t take the money. (with "end of conversation” tone)

How professional. After that, I fed up with her and asked about currency conversion and charges. She said that currency conversion will be based on my local bank and I’ll get charged from bank for any transfer below $112.5 (converted amount), which I’m in. She said that PayPal won’t take any charges, although I don’t really believe it because of all lies she said before.

The message

PayPal

As you can’t see, PayPal doesn’t really have a great Customer Service, both in phone and email/message. They barely answer your questions and when you asked them something outside their scope, they asked you to call them instead of forwarding the message to the correct department.

This incident also won’t happen if they have an identity scan as a registration requirement beforehand. Just make sure that the account won’t be able to send or receive money before the identity scan is finished. They won’t have these types of tickets anymore, which leads to lesser ticket in limitation department, which means that the CS can focus on other tickets, which probably will make them to stop aiming for quantity instead of quality (and probably reduce the copy paste answer and CS cost).

Also, if they want to reduce CS cost further, change them all with automation message. Their CS has been replying my messages splendidly with unhelpful copy paste messages.

PayPal also needs to retrain their phone CS and make sure that they stop being rude and want to finish the conversation as soon as possible. I mean, being fast in answering customer’s needs is a good thing, but you shouldn’t treat your caller as trash, although they are in the wrong (especially when they still have a business with you). I know that you won’t be having a call from these customers anymore, but they can leave you a bad impression and tell everyone to not use your services.

People who got limitation

If you are using an alias (or know that you’re breaching the ToS), stop wasting your time and withdraw your balance when it’s available. There might be some cases where you’ll be free of limitation when you try to resolve it, but I’m sure that’s not what usually happens.

People who wants to use PayPal

Don’t use it, especially when you’re using it to store your money. You’ll get limitation without reason, and there are a lot of cases where you’ll get locked out of your account just because you receive more money than usual.

If you’re the spending type and use a credit card, I don’t really see the need in using PayPal. Most payment methods accept credit card and if you don’t want to reveal your personal information, you’re already doing so by registering to (and using) PayPal, except if you want to buy something from a shady sites, which you shouldn’t. I’m also sure that there’re other similar services which doesn’t require your personal info that much. There is also Amazon Payments, although I never use it.

The only thing that’s good from PayPal is the fact that most people are using it, so if you want to take a risk in using it (and go through all the trouble), make sure you put the right information and don’t breach their ToS like what I did.

Afterword

Well, that’s the end of my rant. I’m surprised that you got this far. Actually, although the CS said that I need to wait for another 180 days, it’s written that I still can withdraw my money. I don’t really know whether it’s possible to withdraw, and even if it does, I’m still wondering whether I should let one of my family member to make a PayPal account or try to do some trick to withdraw the money to my bank account.

Now I’m still looking for PayPal alternatives although I need to wait for the support for other cash out methods in the “money making website” I am using to be implemented to withdraw my remaining money.

PayPal sucks. Sure, it’s convenient, but it’ll start to be troublesome when you start using it to receive money. I hope a better wallet platform starts to become as popular (if not, better) as PayPal and take PayPal down. They’re already shutting down their customers by banning them for ridiculous reasons, actually.
