Banana Tumblr

@bri-jo-g's side blog. yeah I'm just doing talking about random stuff and reblogging. (she/her)

[bananatomboy]

Hiii! My main account is @bri-jo-g, and this side blog is for things that I generally don't feel like would belong on my carefully-organized-main. These are things like: random text posts, rants, reblogs, stupid doodles, etc. Watch out for stupid silly y'all

If you don't know me, HELLOO my name is Bri Jo! Half of the people I know shorten it to "Bri" and the other half just call me "Bri Jo". My brother calls me "Jo". But you are free to call me anything! I'm just a lesbian woman making stories and stuff.

If you are wondering, I will still be reblogging fanart for my stories on my main account! AND, if you want to send me an ask that's related to my stories, you should still send it to @bri-jo-g 😊 (I won't be mad if you don't, though lol)

Ok but whats up with the banana? You may be asking.

I had the idea for a side blog and had no idea what to call it. I mean, I've always just been "Bri Jo", right?

...

but then I remembered, deep in the recesses of my mind...

Banana Tumblr.

It started as a quick drawing in MS paint when I was ~5 yrs old of a tomboy banana in cowboy boots and sunglasses, with a rainbow in the background. I named all of my early social medias "Banana Tumblr" based off of that drawing without really even knowing what Tumblr was (I just thought the name sounded funny? I had the vague idea that Tumblr was a silly thing). But yeah ig I'm bringing it back, cuz I thought the name was pretty fitting now that I actually use Tumblr.

Well if you read this whole page, I think you know what you're getting into. Let the yapping begin 👹😛

[bananatomboy]

Here's an idea to do as a woman: see a man moving something or fixing something and (despite if he's struggling or not) stop him and say "hold on. This is a pink job."

[bananatomboy]

Yesterday I was soaking up the sun in the brilliant green grass, when suddenly, a butterfly emerged from the blades. I hadn't even noticed it was next to me the whole time. Its wings silently fluttered with an elegance so stunning that I could do nothing but stare at it as they glided farther and farther into the warm air.

As I watched it, I couldn't believe...

Just how ...

Excited I was to post about it on tumblr

[bri-jo-g]

I have two drawing requests for you. One I'm sure you'll deny and another one I'm not as sure.

1. Gaster pregnant with asriel

2. The entire skeleton family in dresses talking to asgore for bring your kid to work day, ashore also being in a dress and siqua being in a farmers outfit

LMAO OK. Important context: Pregnant gaster is from joke comics that adam made for me. Also the skeletons being in dresses is something that has occurred before XD

Sorry but no pregnant gaster.

You didn't include undyne but I'll find it in my heart to forgive you anyway.......

I sort of interpreted this request as a tea party since I don't think they would dress up this fancy for a normal day at work. Not including siqua LOL

[adamslayz4evr]

Ohhh yeah I knew I was cooking with this prompt 💯 asgore is so perfect his is my fav bc why does nobody draw him in a dress???? Actually it's possible people do, so I aughta look for that. Anyway, didnt expect you to work so hard on it. Good work sister (last compliment for the month)

[bananatomboy]

God fucking damn it I already ran out of compliments

[adamslayz4evr]

St*ff goes down in episode21…

so turns out undertale being softlocked wasn't going to kill them. "why do you keep making the characters convince us of something only to prove its false?" a fool would ask me... why its because im part evil, first of all, and its also because in real life people are constantly coming to the wrong conclusions... also weird sans is only for intellectuals /j

weird sans usually only gets annoyed when he feels like people are overreacting or wrongly persecuting him. just in case you wanted to write fanic... he also likes Ink's toes but it's not as strong of an obsession as nightmares tentacles. despite the bone-er line, i dont beleive weird gets any sexual gratification from them. its just a hyperfixation of sorts. he likes weird things.

(This is my favorite comic series rn!!!!)

Oooh this makes me think about the AU possibilities of having some outside force altering an AU's storyline and the creator having to wrench it back into place, wrestling with the fact that some unseen force is somehow changing the story and you watch as the author desperately tries everything in their power to keep the plotline of their precious AU— ah, shit.

[adamslayz4evr]

Ep1sod7… dreams panic atatck. Why cant i talk nomrla its ep 17

yes i made another star sans song joke but you gotta understand that is my only point of reference to the star sanses. i literally had no idea they existed besides that song. also its fucking hilarious that he quotes their theme song while consoling his friend whos afraid their best friend is dead XD

so yeah Dream has a harder time regulating his emotions than Ink, as i mentioned before how he accidentally takes his stress out on others. his reaction is valid tho id be freaking out too. Ink isn't afriad to show his emotions, but he will put others before him and tell them how he feels AFTER their crisis.

anothrer glifch guys.... uh oh...

[bananatomboy]

Guys this so cute. So cute! I've been reading xxtha's recent comic and am now obsessed with dream. RAAAHHHH so inspired. I still don't know much about him but now I am much more interested in finding out more.

This is cute I'm happy dream is here so sweeettt

I love pride month I love pride month I love pride month I love pride month I love pride month yay yay yay

My favorite holiday and it lasts all month!!!! Kinda like what people try to do with christmas

Also as I type this I am dressed as papyrus undertale.

[bananatomboy]

This is my concept of what my video game would look like. (All text is not canon, theres not even a white void in the game LOL but I didn't want to draw out a whole scene) It would be called something like "You are The Puppeteer" not sure yet.

It would look like that the entire game, just with different choice buttons and stats and items and stuff. Im hoping i can make "explore mode" a thing but considering im a baby coder, it'll probably just be point and click or sum. Im also not sure if this game will even exist.

I like the idea of it being so primitive. I may actually be able to do it, then. Also, nostalgia! I loved games like this when i was a kid!

The stats on the right won't probably do much, except the death count. You will never be told what the ??? (Deathcount) means until the end, when the number changes the end of the game.

Theres only a max of four for choices, stats, and inventory. I think if you enter your name as "Four", you'll get a special little note from narrator. (I actually know how to do that!!) And of course, ill reward some undertale references with notes too because this whole game was inspired after playing undertale XD

Umm. Whats the plot, you ask? I haven't fully gotten it down yet... It mainly about this kid (you) whos banished from society because you are too over powered (its an ability-using kind of world.) You are only allowed back in with the condition that You defeat this super powerful villain, all under extreme supervision of some lab-grown warrior. You cant kill the warrior because they were specially created to be a rival to your power. In the story, you can either kill everyone like people expect you too, or befriend them despite everything. this is VERY MUCH a loose concept at this point i only have the beginning and end scripted XD

I guess New Yorkers at Madison Square Garden told Trump how they really feel about him, huh?

Yesterday I was getting gas and saw a little "I did that" sticker of trump stuck on the pump. That was nice to see in this small town and it made me chuckle

Currently learning javascript. If all goes well, ill be a better coder than my brother.

Oh and the BTA website will be better ig

Here is an article from NPR about it (May 22, 2026):

Carolina Milanesi, an independent technology analyst, said Google is trying to make its cash cow business — search — richer and more personalized, and it will make shopping easier. But there is a risk that users may have fewer choices about what to click. "Right now it's: I ask a question, I get a bunch of answers and I feel that I'm in control as to which answer I take, or if I'm looking for something, which product I'm going to end up buying. That is going to be less so going forward," she said. Milanesi envisions AI-enabled search and agents proposing products to consumers — perhaps even those they have requested — but with less clarity or choice around where it's coming from. "If you're going to say: 'I want a pair of Jordans, go find them,' you're not necessarily sure what steps have been taken and whether the AI has used a source or a store that was paid for and therefore came up in the search results," she said, "or if AI actually went and did their due diligence and picked the best for me as a customer."

And here's one from Time magazine (May 20, 2026):

While Google already has “AI Mode,” the company will now power the whole search bar through its new Gemini 3.5 Flash model.  Instead of the classic list of blue links, Google Search will now also generate a custom page with an AI-generated summary of what you’re searching about, which will then trigger a conversation with AI Mode on the main page, allowing users to ask follow-up questions—similar to the kind of layout you would see when opening ChatGPT.

And a little more from Time's article on how this may affect the websites that we are trying to search for:

When Google first started implementing AI-assisted results, news publishers warned of “catastrophic” impacts on the industry, much of which relies on Google search to drive users to their websites.  Last year, news websites saw significant traffic declines as chatbots increasingly replaced Google search as the primary way to find sites and ask questions.  Small businesses also noted drops in traffic to their sites from Google, which has traditionally delivered customers.   Lily Ray, vice president of SEO strategy & research at Amsive, a digital marketing agency, warned as early as last year that Google’s planned changes to search are “going to have a devastating impact on the Internet.”  “It will severely cut into the main source of revenue for most publishers and it will disincentivize content creators who rely on organic search traffic, which is millions of websites, maybe more,” she told Technology Magazine.

in firefox’s latest update you have the option to turn off the ai features

[bananatomboy]

bro ive been trying to find another search engine for months and this just convinced me to go for it.

It sucks because so much of the widely used internet IS google! Its hard to escape the nasty greed. But I know I can at least start by changing my search engine. :)

(Keep positive thoughts everyone!! Dont let bad news drag you into a depressive episode or sum. Just march on with a different browser!)

Working on my comic and the panels gave me a sudden wave of deja vu. Then i realized that it was actually real and I had a dream that looked similar a long time ago.

In the dream I was working on an episode of BTA and the panels kept getting more and more abstract (as dream logic of course) and my brother looked over at my tablet and was like "bruh wtf are you using ai!?" And i said "yup". WHY DID I SAY " YUP"!?!?

For context, I am fervently against generative ai. Despite what my dream is trying to tell you.

I think ao3 is literally the only site where no censorship means no censorship. you can post the most vile things on there — things that will get taken down on any other platforms — and ao3 will protect you, your works, and your rights to create whatever you want, however you want.

and no, this isn’t me saying “write that messed up, disgusting thing” because while, yes, write it if it’s what you want (I myself enjoy writing dark fics, something I believe would be considered “vile” to a lot of people), this is me saying in a world of censorship and capitalism, ao3 really is a treasure.

everybody say thank you ao3

[siriosa]

thank you ao3

Thank you ao3 :)

I just googled this and… yes, it’s absolutely real.

And there are so many articles and videos and discussions. Like, the scientific community is buzzing about this.

So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.

The world is probably not horrifically contaminated by microplastics. Sterile laboratories, however, are contaminated by latex and nitrile gloves.

Thank God someone bothered to check.

I want you guys to all start making a bigger stink about Tumblr's Age Verification Horseshit.

[lifesgrandparade]

Like they tried to change Reblogs and people rightfully got up in arms, this is a LOT worse. In order to have access to any sort of thing dubbed mature, and We haveALL seen what they think is mature, Everything from a black and white photo of a black woman's arm, to posts about IUD recalls, to a nude painted by a 17th century artist, to anything involving the word Trans; you have to send your personal information to a third party site that WILL get hacked, and you will be doxxed. And they can say "Oh shit, well it wasn't us who sent your name address and gender identity to Moldovan teenagers, here's a couple extra minutes in the ball pit.

That's bad enough!!!!!!!! But the entire idea of needing permission from state authorities to access anything labeled mature by our friendly AI overlords is some fucking Boll shit. Die Gedenken Sind Frie baby. This is all a reaction to people getting uppity about their lowly lowly rights and is being propped up by the same bad actors tht have made life unlivable. Fuck that shit.

"Well it's only being rolled out in Brazil and UK" Yeah, to start. "Well they're being forced to do this by laws." YOu know it's always really funny when these tech giants (Or whatever you call owning tumblr dot com) get really antsy about laws considering they pick and choose which ones they abide by.

This is a breaking point and it's going to be very interesting to see how we proceed from here.

[bananatomboy]

Im so so so tired of corporations deciding what you can and can't handle. and what's "too mature for you". Its all just a mask to get their way.
