skill issue. personally i'm always astral projecting into the kremlin

[autoserketphilia]

Yeah no this is true sadly. I tried astral projecting into the White House only to have my mind put into the Torment Nexus for 10,000 simulated years by Joe Biden’s psionic warriors. I’m okay now but it wasn’t fun. :(

[play-now-my-lord]

the white house psionic warriors use the standard CIA slow wave counter-delta techniques, real by-the-book, and can easily be eluded or overpowered by an experienced projector. the ones you really have to watch out for if you're dream invading the secret places the designs of man cloaks in permanent twilight are the swiss guard coma castrati. known as the Belli Addormentati by their handlers, these eunuchs spend over 80% of their lives comatose in a communal bath of chrism and milk and have been known to lead psychonauts that stray too close to the Vatican Archives into vacancy loops, self-replicating internal labyrinths, and other forms of red interiority. the KGB also kept specially trained somnolent eunuchs on staff as recently as the 1980s but the FSB did not inherit them and its astral warfare capacity is less completely understood

Look I know everyone is getting the porn bot follows but like .. what's are they even for? What's the point of them? What are they trying to accomplish?

[ralfmaximus]

Okay, so... tumblr is 'free' right? It costs nothing to create an account and utilize the service. So the startup costs of running a pornbot army is zero, right?

Wrong!

Shady websites sell kits to create/operate pornbot networks. You pay $$$ for an engine and a collection of scripts tuned for various free websites. And apparently (I guess) there is a new tumblr script that comes preloaded with a zillion girlie names + 3 digits, so all the prospective pornbot meister has to do is start the script with some seed values and wait for their bot army to grow.

In order to fly beneath the radar, these scripts operate in stages. First they create the account then follow a few high profile blogs. THAT is why, when they first follow you, they're just a generic stolen cheesecake pic named (randomly generated name) ChestyMoorbutt754 with an otherwise empty profile.

Then after a preset number of days/weeks they start blogging 'content' like bit.ly links to malware or whatever. Along with some legit-looking reblogs to keep up appearances. All these scripted behaviors are configurable.

Their hope is that some certain percentage of idiots will (1) click thru the hosted links to an intermediary landing page (with ads, naturally) that acts as a portal to buy subs for OnlyFans, Sinder etc, or (2) interact with an actual chatbot that eventually convinces the poor schmuck to enter their credit card info so it can be hijacked.

We're seeing a new flood of bots NOW because twitter is floundering and all the talk about twitter alternatives (like tumblr) has caught the attention of the guys who make/sell pornbot tools.

Who are the ones REALLY making profit off all of this. Not the pornbots themselves, but the darkweb dweebs who sell the accounts & kits. Because selling access to pornbot armies is guaranteed income whereas who the hell knows how successful any given pornbot will be in the wild. After awhile, the pornbot army gets detected & shutdown or the customer running the botnet get disillusioned and quits or both... then the cycle begins anew with new sheep to be fleeced.

Just like in the 1840s gold rush era, it wasn't the miners who got rich; it was the guys selling picks & shovels.

everything started going downhill when they killed 8tracks.. playlists just don't hit the same anymore

REMINDER TO THE TWITTER REGUGEES THAT TUMBLR IS AN INTERACTIVE SITE.

See how your dashboard is covered in posts? Yeah, that's because people reblogged them. Reblog posts. Reblog artwork and gifsets and text posts. If you like a post, reblog it.

"Oh but I'm nervous about social interaction" reblogging isn't social interaction. It's not. It's adding things to a virtual scrapbook by yeeting the additions into a swirling vortex. No interaction necessary. Someone makes a post you like, you reblog it, that's it. Job done. Zero interaction, but a post has made it one step further in finding its way to people that might enjoy it.

Reblog stuff. For fucks sake.

[dragonfly-general]

Also if you are on mobile and think reblogging takes to much effort compared to hitting "like", you can fast-reblog, without adding tags or other stuff, by dragging the reblog icon.

like you guys have no idea. i need to thank her for her service

[1dietcokeinacan]

Not swag for me personally.

[lionfloss]

leave him alone (swag)

redraw of one piece screenshot and heart_puff art study!

[himboskywalker]

in the good timeline bikini leia never happened. she still kills jabba but instead of the gross slave bikini we get luke wearing this

and the pop cultural impact remains the exact same. everyone has their sexual awakening to Golden Gay Luke. there's a five minute scene of han and lando both trying not to look at luke's cleavage. he's fully aware of this and encourages it. leia is wearing full plate armour

[stabbedinthenameofscience]

What the hell even is this outfit?

[saint-batrick]

proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy.

EDIT: AS A REMINDER PLEASE DON’T REPOST MY ART…

I AM WEAK.

Every now and again I get hit by an impulse, and this is the conclusion of such said desires. I really wanted to draw Spinel and Steven based off of this video. 

They talk over each other a lot in the video and its impossible to make everything out that’s said but I think I did a good enough job with it. 

p.s.  LET STEVEN SAY FUCK

[daggerfall]

Back pain? Have you tried:

[daggerfall]

Of all the communities for one of my posts to circulate in, the chronic pain community was not expected but honestly that’s even funnier than this as an elder scrolls shitpost

[demilypyro]

My main takeaway from DMing so far is that default DND lore is fucking boring and sucks and my ideas are better

[cozza-frenzy]

The first page of the PHB encourages this!
