I told a partner I planned on returning but then they went on hiatus due to personal reasons and then I forgot the password for the account where I remade so I guess I’m using this one to say...

Like if you’d care if I came back, I guess? ...and if you don’t, I won’t? I’ve been missing this nerd. :/

Safe Blogging Masterpost

Since Tumblr is purging fan accounts from every fandom I thought I’d make a master post of resources for safe blogging.

What we know so far:

This started with  Backgrid and Splash New using reverse image search through a third party to protect their photos.

It was first limited to  paparazzi photos, events, red carpets and set photos.

However now it is rumored to be extended to other stuff like celebrity photoshoots etc.

A better, proper explanation here.

FAQs:

Rebloging is fine, only the original post will get flagged and deleted.

You get three strikes for copyright infringement and then your blog gets terminated.

If your main blog gets terminated, then all your sideblogs go, no matter if you are a member or an admin.

If you get warnings for your sideblog then only the sideblog gets terminated.

Notes or no notes, if you have posted anything from the above category, it will be flagged.

It’s not limited only to the United States, it’s happening internationally.

If your edit is a part of a larger graphic and different form the original offending photo you’re probably safe.

It’s not limited to one fandom, everyone is being effected from Marvel, to Musicians, to WWE, EVERYONE.

Protective Measures:

The best option so far is to delete any photos you posted (POSTED, not reblogged).

Like I mentioned above it was limited to only paparazzi photos but now it seems to be extended to everything that was not posted by the celebrity themselves.

If you’re very attached to your edit, changing the post to “private” may help (but probably not for very long.)

This is an excellent post about how to buy some time to delete posts or to protect your blog.

This website hides all of your reblogs so you can use it to see all your original post and delete the offending ones. (Also mentioned in the above post)

You can also take a backup of your blog by going to tumblr.com/settings/blog/your url and clicking on Export at the bottom of the page.

@captainevanss has answered many asks on this, please go through her blog before sending another ask, she has answered every possible question there is.

Future Blogging:

If you post photos in future remember to save it as a new post and remove existing EXIF details before posting through third party apps (via @tessathompsson)

Some excelent tips for future safe blogging

I’ll keep adding more info. Stay safe kids, hope you don’t get snapped!

PSA:

Tumblr has been doing a purge of blogs in the last two days, reading around posts i found that both Backgrid and now SplashNews are using a third party reverse image system for their pics and then reporting for copyright to tumblr so PLEASE PLEASE if you ever posted pap pics or event pics go now and PUT YOUR BLOG UNDER PASSWORD and delete everything!!!!!! Do it before they get to you and terminate you, bc trying to get a blog back is hard and tumblr might not give it back even if you argue and argue with them! PLEASE be safe and don’t let your hard work get deleted!!

and another thing: go to the settings of your blog and scroll down to visibility and turn on the ‘hide your blog from search engines’ button! that way you will be harder to find on all search engines, its not much but it could really help!!

[weirdhumansweallare]

NOT JUST THAT!

Check off everything! If you hide the blog and make it only viewable over the dashboard NO REVERSE IMAGE SEARCH CAN SEE YOUR PICTURES!

And the explicit one makes it even HARDER to search your posts because it HAS to be someone, who is logged in to see your posts. SO REVERSE IMAGE AND LOGGED OUT MAKES IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ANYTHING.

https://studiomoh.com/fun/tumblr_originals/

I tried it out on this website and made one small blog visible for EVERYONE, search results, outside of Tumblr, logged out and it SHOWED IMMEDIATELY my original posts. Then I checked off everything made it hidden and it couldn’t find anything. It took like a looooooot of time and I was worried at first that they got it and are searching it now and terminating it but my settings made it impossible for that search engine to even find these posts I have on my blog.

So, honestly, you don’t have to password protect your blogs. You can check off everything and it will take A LOT OT TIME to even search those posts..maybe even make it impossible to find them at all.

Try it out and if you still get terminated, please let me know!! Thanks!

[Still on an indefinite hiatus. Still more or less archiving this blog. Just changing the url back for the sake of links, and on the chance that the partners y’all fuckers ran off tumblr ever decides to come back and my own muse returns. I’d start a new Victor blog with the same URL, but, I’m lazy, and don’t want to put in the effort if there’s no guarantee I’ll return.]

[frankensteinmd]

Archiving this blog, but one last write-up... cause I’m still bitter.

It’s no secret I shipped Frankenwolf, and it’s on record that they planned on making it canon before Meghan left the show. She left the show because they rushed towards the Neverland arc like kids in a candy store and tabled what they had had planned for her. So instead, they gave us that Greg and Tamara arc. That everybody simply adored/sarcasm.

Meghan left, and Victor was regressed into comic relief and walk on roles. David eventually left for iZombie, and they decided to stick Ruby with Dorothy. Which, the fact they were giving representation should have made up for it. I’m bi myself, and I hated it. It just felt forced to me. It was rushed to within a single episode, and they were written out in the same episode. It was just meant to shut fans up, to say they had a same sex couple… but it was one they never had to acknowledge again

. They didn’t get an epic love story spanning seasons like the other ships of the show. From what I hear, Robin and Alice were fine representation that they should have been. Ruby Slippers, imo, was insincere and insulting. To LGBT fans, and to the Frankenwolf shippers they led on for years. Before the S4 premiere, Adam hyped it up using #Frankenwolf. Funnily enough, neither of them appeared that season.

And I know they apparently had plans for the former ship that were apparently hindered by actor availability, but if that was the case, they shouldn’t have used Ruby. They should have used a character whom they could have used more, and give the fans consistent representation they deserved. They said they didn’t want it to be a very special episode, and it was just that.

They knew Meghan had another gig. And the fact of the matter is they didn’t know what to do with Victor once they wrote her out. They wanted Anders specifically for the part, built up the mystery of who he is… David was with Josh and Jared in an EW photo shoot going into Season 2. He was heavy in the first handful of season 2 episodes. They promised that the payoff to who he was would be a game changer, and then they did nothing with him.

We had to wait seven episodes for more of him, and from then on out it was walk on appearances.We never got more of his world. For whatever reason, Jekyll/Hyde weren’t from his world. Dracula was mentioned in the original pilot script, where Emma was named Emma… he would have been a fun big bad. But nothing.Hell, they could have used Victor as a way to combat Greg and Tamara if they had wanted. Magic vs Science, the original plan for the Home Office or whatever. They could have turned for him for a solution to deal with what they didn’t fully understand.

Alas, they didn’t, and it sucked. If you go back to the original teaser posters and promo they aired at comic con 2012, it seemed they initially planned to go with a traditional Captain Hook .I can’t blame them for exploring the acclaim Colin got but perhaps they should have waited until the actual Neverland arc to promote him. It took 2 years for Sean Maguire to be promoted to a regular, despite him being in many episodes.The fact Hook was promoted the episode after Victor’s centric… was kind of salt in the wound, considering how fans and critics and even David thought HE was going to be promoted.

Again, I don’t blame Colin. He and David are buddies. As a fan of the character though, it just sucked. It was Adam and Eddy, and honestly, a part of the fandom.“Frankenstein’s not a fairytale! He doesn’t even have a Disney movie!”Frankly, he does. Frankenweenie. Yet also? Peter Pan isn’t a fairytale. Neither is Alice in Wonderland. Pinocchio. So many of the Untold Stories we got in S6.

Yet the majority have Disney movies, and that was what people used to say he didn’t belong..Yet when the show started, they kept saying they were doing their own thing, not beholden to Disney…And then we got half a season of inconsequential filler featuring the fucking Frozen characters. They should have waited, told the story they wanted to tell, then they could promote Hook and downplay Victor and Ruby.

Like how Archie and August were regulars in S1, but were recurring in subsequent seasons. Initially it was an ensemble cast, but hey. And if they didn’t have Meghan, they still could have utilized David. There were theories about him doubling as the Wizard of Oz. With Rumple as the Cowardly Lion needing courage, Gerhardt as the Tin Man needing a heart. Jefferson as the Scarecrow, a nothin’ with his head full of stuffing and his heart full of pain.

But, I guess, because Sebastian Stan’s soul belongs to Marvel… they decided not to go that route.What’s interesting is they initially planned to recast Jefferson for the Wonderland spinoff. Remember? Then there was fan backlash, and they said due to backlash and out of respect for his performance, they wouldn’t recast him?

Despite the fact they recast other characters over the years. If you remember, Tom Ellis form Lucifer was the original Robin Hood.I honestly think that Jefferson was originally supposed to serve the Will Scarlet role. That his wife didn’t die, but abandoned her family to escape the poverty they found themselves. That she became the Red Queen. It would explain why he hated Wonderland, the lines about not abandoning family… idk.

But back to Victor, they didn’t even give resolution to his brother. When the second curse returned them all to their lands in S3? Who knows what happened? Did he go home and get sent back to Storybrooke? At the time Jane Espenson said that the writers didn’t think if he returned to his land or not, and theorized maybe he went back with everyone to the EF. That’s how little they came to regard him. I can’t blame David for seeking work elsewhere, and he honestly got the better deal on iZombie.

It still irritates me that he didn’t get his happy ending. I’ve written essays analyzing Whale’s character and how interesting he actually is, how I don’t think he was actually the creep people thought he was during the curse. How he was humbled by his hubris, how he was honestly a good person who wanted to help people. This is a character who we saw attempt suicide on screen, and yet they reduced him to comic relief cracking jokes about how ‘fun’ it is to make a baby like the womanizer everyone thought he was during the curse.

David Anders said he tried to portray Whale differently from Frankenstein, like how Carlyle made Gold so distinct from Rumple… but the writers couldn’t even give him a consistent take on the character to portray.

How come? Why? Did he come to accept Storybrooke as his home, did he make friends? Who knows? We know he made a lab in his garage at some point, but aside from a cameo where he met Jekyll… they gave us no inkling of what he had been up to.Yet we had so many episodes where Snowing ‘found each other’… or Charming fought evil Warlord Bo Peep.

The Underworld arc could have been interesting. Maybe Gerhardt is technically alive, but his soul was still in the Underworld. Maybe it had moved on. No one thought about that, because why would they? You brought in the Greek Gods, Victor played God... what happened to his brother’s soul when he was resurrected?

Who knows. They shelved the LWC arc, his centrics wound up being a one/two off, and they moved in. The character deserved better. He deserved a happy ending, and I’ll always be salty.

AU where Victor’s father survives and gets to be a dick in Storybrooke idk.

//So apparently there’s no reason for me to really do anything on this blog at this point, it would seem.

Amazing people/writers I used to write with have apparently called it quits due to feelings of inadequacy, and at least one of them was fucking harassed off the site yesterday.

It doesn’t seem like anyone has really missed my Victor anyway. IDK. He was never a popular character, and with the show ending, I guess the rp community in general is just...

I don’t even know.

I’ve met some amazing people, made friends, and some I’ve stayed in touch with and some I’m sad to say I’ve fallen out of touch with... but this fandom is one of the more toxic ones I’ve ever been in.

I don’t know if/when I’ll be active on here again. To anyone I’ve ever written with, you’re amazing and appreciated, don’t let any fuckwit make you doubt otherwise.

If you’re a fuckwit, fuck you, don’t harass other people and try being a decent human being.

I have discord, I may write Victor on there from time to time. IDK. If we’ve been mutuals for a long time, I may give it to you if reply to this post asking, but IDK. I may not. Don’t be offended.

I’m just.. kinda done, with the OUAT fandom. I dropped off at the end of season four, and my enthusiasm kind of has never recovered. This certainly hasn’t helped. I did a S1 rewatch and was kind of invigorated, I wanted to do a Hyperion Heights verse for Victor, but I just...

Why bother, honestly? When so many of the people I enjoyed writing with aren’t around anymore?
