The Odyssey if the suitors were competent…

Go Check out Neet- she’s awesome (her socials are at the bottom of the linked page if you want to see some of the training videos for this and other silliness)

[blumineck]

I get why they do it, but if I picked up a bow and it sounded like this, I’d be signing up for the shield wall instead!

[blumineck]

I’ve got a lot of Thoughts(tm) about The Odyssey at the moment, but damnit Blum I’m an archer, not a film critic, so here’s something in my lane!

[blumineck]

I have done some weird trickshots, and some difficult trickshots, but that last one is the most of both I’ve ever put together!

[blumineck]

This tickled me!

I got to try some new archery, and I LOVE IT!

Huge thanks to Richard, Emily, Wojtek, and everyone else out here who let me learn with and from them, and were willing to put me on a horse with a bow. And massive thanks to Santos for letting me sit on his back and shoot arrows!

[blumineck]

Another wild Stephanie Millinger trick shot: shooting arrows with your feet from a human flag!

But at least this time I’m not just copying her: I first did this a few years ago. But can I do it again?

[blumineck]

How hard is it to dive in front of an arrow to save your loved one?

Feat: most of the cast of min-maxed (minus Jacques who apparently wants to look after his body, and Megan who wanted to let the boys have their moment) and several of their partners!

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could watch a D&D game with these nerds…

Min-Maxed

The party of deadly nerds. More coming soon!

[blumineck]

Tater thinks he can catch arrows better than Instructor Bensei. Is he right?

Go check out season 1 of Min-Maxed before Season 2 hits (I can’t wait for y’all to see what we’ve been working on!)

[blumineck]

I’m so excited!

Go catch up with season 1 if you haven’t already- there’s still a few episodes to the Finale!

[blumineck]

Just a PSA in light of recent events: I NEVER want or need any of you to, threaten, bully, or otherwise go after someone on my behalf. People are allowed to criticise me. They are allowed even to be mean to me. And if I draw attention to a negative comment, I fully expect you all to discuss it respectfully like adults in the post itself.

It is not OK to go after people on their own blogs for the “crime” of criticising me. Please don’t do it. Not now, not ever.

Thank you.

Shad literally used to make videos like this (not a compliment).

Hey look I’m fully on board with Shad hate, but this comment is really unhelpful unless you tell me what the actual problem is

@freakpatrol:

Since the OP has helpfully turned off replies to ensure his presented victimhood remains pristine and cannot be argued against: do you think driving a basically unknown blog to deactivate due to death threats and threats of doxxing as a good thing?

Do you think the blog you're following with thousands of followers could not have reached out individually for clarification if it was an important concern he had, or if it was so unimportant as to not be worth DMing someone over, that it was not a conscious choice to expose the blog that criticised him to his followers to enable that kind of harassment.

The deactivated blog actually reblogged and apologised for the slightly snarky post and expanded on the specific issue (that shadiversity's early videos did not reference any literature and passed off a lot of speculation and downright factually incorrect information as factual @idrawtooslow fyi this was the issue referenced which was only outlined separately).

However rather than reblog THAT post which would demonstrate a constructive engagement with the issue, he simply allowed his followers such as yourself to drive a queer person off Tumblr for the sin of criticising a pobular blogger.

The OP having "good politics" doesn't change this is basically Elon Musk level social media behaviour.

[vimmie-vexes-1212]

. there's. there's no way blumineck is practically elon musk because people sent someone who was slightly rude to him death threats. like yeah they shouldn't have to have resorted to deactivation to avoid the swarmed of death threats, that's a bad thing that happened and it could have been better. but but there's NO way that makes blumineck as bad as a nazi trillionare. he just can't have the.blame for that.

blumineck didn't like. call for that to happen. this isn't a thing normal people think would happen. maybe he should like- not do it again, or something, but he's not Modern Day Satan for responding to a thing in a really polite and normal way with very clearly no harm intended and then Other People deciding in their own to send death threats. that's those peoples faults. undoubtedly. what is this

[blumineck]

OK folks, this has gone WAY too far.

This is the first I’m hearing of this harassment because I don’t monitor my Tumblr NEARLY enough to see everything as it comes through. (I’m currently travelling, and it’s pretty much luck of the draw which notifications come through at the top when I open them). I still haven’t seen the response from the commenter because I wanted to address this before I went looking for it.

But I just want to say that I’m really sorry that this has happened. I did not expect that my followers will go after criticism in this way, and I’m incredibly disappointed to hear that people have been sending DEATH THREATS just because someone was a bit snarky to me.

To be clear, I NEVER either need or want any of my followers to send threats on my behalf. It’s not helpful, and it’s not acceptable.

I received a comment that left me feeling confused, and sought clarification. I did so publicly because the original comment was public and I wanted to see if others had the same or similar concern. (I honestly thought it would be more likely to end up with me getting barraged with criticism) There was no malice in my intent, and if I’d realised people would react the way they did then I absolutely would not have posted this. I will learn from this, but DAMN it shouldn’t have to come at this kind of cost.

I don’t really have the words for this right now, but I’m sad, I’m disappointed, and I’m extremely sorry.

How to be an archery MENACE (without a bow)

A lot of us did stuff like this as kids, and to be fair, kids know what they’re about when it comes to having fun.

(Obviously don’t fling pens in each other’s eyes you reprobates. That’s why I’m pinging at bottles)

We have gone INTERNATIONAL baby!

I had a fantastic time at Magicon Norway, performing outside the UK for the first time!

I don’t know if this will be any good, but either way I feel like I should have been getting ads for this instead of tampons and betting agencies.
