WHY?

Exhibits A, B, C, D, E, F

Tumblr recently announced a new feature called Post+ meant to help content creators make money while keeping a cut to help maintain the site. Not a bad idea, right?

The problem is that tumblr actively encouraged the use of Post+ in conjunction with fan works. Which is, despite the way they continue to side step it, highly illegal. Not enough people are aware of that fact.

Our mission is to force tumblr to either rebrand the Post+ feature as something for original content ONLY and/or offer a means to help the site survive outside of monetizing fan work. We want the see tumblr thrive but Post+ has the potential for ruining everything. Give us a better option, @staff ! In fact, HERE are some options!

WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

Optional avatar and banner to use!

Banner credit to @adairctedgibbgirl ! Thank you!

You can also spread the word on ALL social media (Twitter/TikTok/Facebook/Reddit etc) and reblog this post. Another option, if you’re using the mobile app, is to leave an honest review (be polite, be concise, don’t spam) on the App Store of your choice! The best and easiest way to protest is DON’T USE POST+!

WILL THIS WORK?

We got tumblr to temporarily hide the original Post+ posts and possibly made wip a thing. So who knows?

ANYTHING ELSE?

Keep checking @postplus-protest for updates and further info, especially updates to this post! Thank you, all of you, for participating or boosting!

Remember to reblog, use the hashtags #postplusprotest and #tumblrlogoff2021, and SPREAD THE WORD TO OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA!

nate rgrk from @detectiveidiotboy 's tbww fallout4 fanfiction because i literally cannot get over how complex and complicated of a game protag being the villain in a work of fiction is so good and tasty even after four.. five, six-ish months.

i got blocked by another tumblr user who I really liked and respected because of my sexuality and the content i like qwq my self esteme has taken quite the hit... i might not be online for a while

[ghoulified-owl]

I was thinking about it and,, there's no way Goodneighbor was handled so poorly not on purpose. So, welcome to my unhinged rant about a fictional settlement that I really like.

First of all, most companions remark of Goodneighbor being full of trash and smelling like piss. Now, this makes ~no sense~. Goodneighbor is clearly a tight nit community, and as Preston said, " blah blah when you give people a place to protect they will blah blah blah", and this would be especially true here since they all call goodneighbor home. Now the piss comment truLy makes no sense because they have multiple toilets? Every major spot has them, and so does the outside (in the front and back).

Now my second complaint, no running water. Fucking how. This was a town, they're bound to have some sort of water system connected to the harbor. Its literally right there. Also we all know Hancock is a real fucking stickler for baths, even if water wasnt already available, it would probably be his first thing to attend to.

Thirdly, the Rexford. This place looks like shit even with the cleaners. Get over the chem trades you fucking idiots and make a cafe. Improve your rooms while you're at it, and fix. The. Fucking. Elevator. Also, get rid of that asshole who's at the desk in the back. A) he works for the institute, and B) he's dragging yall down MASSIVELY by being stuck in the past. Make Clair the official owner as well because she's cool and favoritism is a bitch.

The memory den. Please dear fuck advertise yourselves more. Put up signs on the outside of the wall! Vandalize diamond city! Go crazy! More people at the den = more at the bar = more at the hotel = more at the new cafe I made up. Boom, business.

I cant think of anything else rn and I womt proofread this. Feel free to complain along because I'm bored and want to talk shit about how much they botChed goodneighbor. ItssomuchbetterthenDCpleasebro

[detectiveidiotboy]

I love Hancock to death, don't get me wrong, but 200 caps says that if he let someone else handle the more complex side of running a settlement (possibly Fahrenheit) while he stayed on as the rally guy/PR manager, Goodneighbor miiiiight be a bit better shape

The Ferals when they see Danse and his team at the police station:

[fallout-fallen-knight]

This is probably a dumb question but has anyone like, made a horse mod for Fallout 4?

[muumipeikonruumiinavaus]

Aren’t horses extinct in fallout or something?

[fallout-fallen-knight]

Yes! according to Chris Avellone, noted sex pest and moron, horses are extinct in Fallout. Anyway dear followers does anyone know of a good horse mod for Fallout 4

[detectiveidiotboy]

Horses are extinct canonically sure, but just like cats fallout 4 I have a headcanon to fix that

Horse vault

Nick agreed to watch Nat and Shaun for the day.

[lookbluesoup]

Nat Wright and Strong would be such a fun duo. I like to imagine once she's older and reporting for Publick, she travels with him a lot as a companion/bodyguard. Protection for her, lots of opportunities to crush things for him (because let's face it, she'll be at least as much trouble as her sister.)

Yes, she knows exactly how badass she is.

[artistsoftheapocalypse]

dying a little about doing this but please may i have some soft with kate and nick hi halk i know you know them well. big romantic. dedicated to each other, traditional, gentle. predictable request: kate fixing nick - and dealer's choice on the color. i trust you. i am sending this ask while only half conscious but please and thank you for doing this its good,

He still could fix the damn hand himself. He just didn't have to anymore.

There was a gifset I saw a while back of an Oscar Isaac movie that i cannot for the life of me remember the name of, but I did get Gage vibes from one of the frames

[gaysofzaun]

Here have a joke I’ve spent too long on already and don’t want to look at anymore.

As a celebration of reaching 350 followers, I've decided to make a giveaway!

In order to enter the giveaway, you'll need to be doing the following:

Follow my blog (old and new followers are welcome!)

Like this post

Reblog this post

Once you've done all those three, you're participating in the giveaway! Only one entry per person. The deadline for the giveaway is 7th September 2021 at 7pm GMT+1, so that's technically 10 days give or take.

As for the prizes, just like the image says:

1st prize = 1 bust drawing of max. 2 characters

2nd prize = 1 bust drawing of 1 character

3rd prize = 1 portrait drawing of 1 character

I'll reserve the right for the style of drawing, but it will most likely be similar to the examples above. I also reserve the right to refuse any requests that make me uncomfortable. No entries from giveaway blogs. I'll draw OCs or NPCs or Fallout companions, whatever the winners want. The winners will be chosen randomly through random.org, 1 or 2 hours after the deadline (so I can make sure I got everyone noted down), that is 7th September 2021 at 8-9pm GMT+1. Please have your ask box and messages open so I can contact you. If a winner doesn’t respond within 24 hours, I’ll choose another one.

After I succeeded in contacting the winners, it might take me some time to actually draw the prizes as I have some vacation planned in september and will be away for 2 weeks, but don't worry, time is relative, you will get your prize (eventually) XD I'd like to say thanks to everyone for their support, for following, liking, reblogging and commissioning me ❤ It's been such a great journey so far, I'm really glad I decided to start sharing my art! Honestly, it still amazes me that people actually commissioned me to do art for them 🥰. Again thank you so much! 💖💞💕💖

[detectiveidiotboy]

I legit did not know about this person until I saw this post - turns out she makes some hella art and has a great blog!! Go check her out!!

[edit why on earth did tumblr publish my draft and not my finished post wtf????]
