A Story I Kinda Came Up With (Ch1)
Two people are in a cubular room in almost complete darkness. Both people begin to gain consciousness and realize they are both bound to the wall. Struggling against their bonds, they eventually break free and explore the room. Upon realizing they aren’t alone they introduce each other: one says,
“Hey, who are you?”
The other says,
“I’m Sir Maverik Boleson; a knight from the kingdom of the Triple Battalion. Who are you and how did we get here?”
“I’m Bonya; a merchant from the same kingdom, but I have little idea where we are or how we got here.”
They decided to look around the room and try to learn more. They found a small pedestal in the middle of the room. On it was a note of which it was too dark to read and a vial containing some liquid. After a little thought they decided to try to get out of the door. They tried to open it, but it was locked. However, it was in weak condition so Maverik figured he could probably bust it open. He successfully knocked the door off its hinges and caught it before it hit the ground as to not alert any guards. After the door was open the pairing could see they were now it a narrow tunnel lined with torches and a the end of the tunnel was a sturdy looking wooden door. They decided they would try to go and see if the door was locked and if they could see anyone on the other side. Upon reaching the door they saw two guards with spears, helmets, shields and breast plates. They went to test to see if the door was locked but in doing so alerted the guards to their presence. The guards opened the door and shouted,
“GET BACK TO YOUR CELL”
Maverik having no weapon used his one power he did have, his surprisingly large, intimidatingly, muscular figure and charge at the guards. Surprisingly the guards were driven off by this and they ran down the hall to the right. Maverik and Bonya moved into the room outside the door and pondered what to do next. Maverik remembering his time he spent in castles realized they must be near the armory, barracks, and stables. He figured straight was the armory, left was the barracks and right was the stables. After discussing, they figured they had better go to the armory to defend themselves. Once they arrived in the armory they saw spears, helmets and shields with emblems of a kingdom Maverik recognized as an enemy kingdom to his. Maverick grabbed a shield, helmet, and spear. Bonya only could carry a helmet and a shield. They made their way back to the room that led to the different places and heard many sets of feet approaching from the direction of the barracks. Eight guards appeared. Maverick said,
“Go to the stables, I’ll hold them off”
Bonya started running towards the stables, while Maverik prepared to attack the guards. He lunged with his spear at the nearest guard plunging straight through his chest. The guard fell over; dead. Maverik yanked the spear out and turned to the next guard who he swept the legs out from under and sank his spear into him. The third guard however was prepared and parried Maverik’s strike and stabbed him in the leg. Maverik cried out in pain. Upon hearing a scream of anguish Bonya decided she better head back and see what she could do. Despite being injured Maverik was able to fend off many of the other attacks. One attack however caught him it the ribs and sent him to the floor. Another guard tried an attack and Maverik managed to parry and stab the guard killing him. The guards saw how skilled Maverik was and retreated to get back up. Bonya arrived and saw the state Maverik was in. They knew they couldn’t escape while Maverik was in the condition he was in, so they, despite not knowing what was in it, gave him the liquid in the vial. Luckily, the vial partially healed his wounds enough to let them escape to the stables. They escaped to the stables and attempted to break one of the locks on the stables housing a horse. In attempting to break the lock they broke their shields and helmets. They eventually managed to get a horse out of the stables and rode the horse until they got to the end of the pasture and tried to jump to fence but were unfortunately thrown off the horse and it ran away.
Noticing a town not too far away, Maverik and Bonya quickly decided to head in that direction. Once they got closer to the town, they saw a nice mysterious looking forest near the town that would be able to hide them from unwanted visitors. Noting the forest, they then entered the town to look for some supplies. When they got into the town, they saw vendors selling practically anything a person could imagine. There were stores selling food, clothes, hardware, and even a store selling magical items and potions. All they had was a vial and the note telling them to meet in square. They decided to go to the square of the town and look for the person who sent the note. There was a lot of hustle and bustle but there was one man standing still and staring at them next to a post. Curious they started moving towards the man. Once the man realized they were moving towards them, he moved away and seemed to disappear. They went to post where he had stood. There was a note stabbed into the post with an ancient and powerful looking knife. The note read Here Tonight. Feeling hungry, they decided to try to buy some food. As they didn’t have any money, they went to a store to try to sell what little they had. They tried to sell the bottle they had. Unsurprisingly, no one wanted to buy the empty bottle. They then realized they could sell the fancy knife that the mysterious man left behind. They briefly considered the possible downsides of selling the knife, but their hungry bellies prevailed. They went to the blacksmith, Ryken. They asked him how much the knife was worth. Ryken said very quickly,
“This knife is worth no more then 7 silver pieces.”
Being very hungry they agreed. As they were leaving they thought they heard Ryken snicker. They immediately went to a separate shop to buy food. Deciding to leave the town to avoid potentially getting caught. They went in the woods. They walked for quite a while before they found a river in a clearing and decided to make it their temporary home. Upon further exploration, they found some berries. They considered eating the berries but ultimately decided it was too dangerous. They ate their food but wanted to get more money. They devised a plan to trick some people into buying a “potion.” They mashed the berries in a liquid and put them into the vial. They then returned to the town. They went to the apothecary shop and went to talk to the shop owner. Bonya said,
“Great Apothecary, we have a strong potion for you if you will buy it from us.”
The Apothecary replied,
“Oh, and what potion is that?”
“THIS,” they showed the apothecary the potion. The apothecary examined the liquid for several seconds before laughing and saying kindly,
“You think you can fool me? This is clearly just berries you mashed up. Good thing you didn’t eat any though because this is highly poisonous. However it is in fact a key ingredient in many antidotes, so I will buy it from you for 10 silver.”
“Deal”
They said in unison. Maverik and Bonya decided to save the rest of their money. They returned to their clearing and waited until nightfall. Once night came, they preceded into the town square. Though it was dark they made out the silhouette of a shady figure man. They assumed they were there to meet this Shady Figure Man. They approached him and once they got close enough to him the figure said,
“Good, you made it. Now, if you’ll return my knife, we can begin”
Bonya responded,
“Oh, you wanted the knife back?”
“Of course I wanted it back. Not only is it a family heirloom, but it also contains great power. What did you do with it?”
Bonya responded quietly with,
“Sold it for 7 silver pieces. In our defense we were really hungry.”
“Ugh, ok. Well, get the knife back in the next 2 days and meet me here.”
And just like that, the figure disappeared into the night. Distraught and disheartened, Bonya and Maverik returned to their and decided to wait until morning before attempting to retrieve the knife.
Morning came and they woke. Feeling hungry they ate some of the left over food they had left at their camp. They decided to head back into town and just ask for the knife back. Once they arrived in the town they realized that posted all over the town were pictures of them with text saying “WANTED: BONYA AND MAVERIK- REWARD 10,000 GOLD PIECES- DEAD OR ALIVE” They lowered their gaze so as to not attract the attention of the people milling about the square. They went into the store where they sold the knife and Bonya said,
“HEY, you scammed us. We need our knife back it’s a family heirloom.”
The store owner turned around and said,
“And why should I care about that. Sellers beware.”
Maverik stepped in and said,
“You have to give it back or ELSE!”
“Do I now,” said the owner, “Or do I just have to call some guards because I’m pretty sure you guys are wanted by the King.”
Before they could do anything, the man yelled,
“GUARDDDDSSS, GUARDDDDSSS!!!”
Bonya and Maverik bolted to the door, but before they could leave 5 guards came in bearing spears, shields. Hoping for the best, Maverik charged the first guard. His knight training kicked and he knocked out the guard and took the guard’s spear. The other 4 guards pulled out swords. The first guard lunged and was caught in the stomach by Maverik spear, but the second guard stabbed Maverik in the leg. Falling to one knee, Maverik bellowed and stabbed the second guard. The third guard stabbed Maverik in the chest send him to the ground in pain. Not knowing what to do Bonya grabbed one of the swords on the ground and managed to fight off the guards for a while before one of the guards stabbed her in the gut. As the guards were about to kill them a knife flew into the head of one of the guards. The Shady Figure Man leapt forward and tackled the guard and pulled the knife out in a fluid roll before throwing the knife at the other guard. Before he could retrieve his knife, the final guard backed him into a corner. Noticing a sword on the ground, The Shady Figure Man flipped a sword into his hands and killed the guard before he could even flinch. The man looked at Maverik and Bonya laying on the ground wounded and said, while picking up his knife,
“You aren’t ready, I will find you when you are”
He disappeared out the door.
Really well done. Fantastic read. Can’t wait to read more.

A better, more positive Tumblr
Since its founding in 2007, Tumblr has always been a place for wide open, creative self-expression at the heart of community and culture. To borrow from our founder David Karp, we’re proud to have inspired a generation of artists, writers, creators, curators, and crusaders to redefine our culture and to help empower individuality.
Over the past several months, and inspired by our storied past, we’ve given serious thought to who we want to be to our community moving forward and have been hard at work laying the foundation for a better Tumblr. We’ve realized that in order to continue to fulfill our promise and place in culture, especially as it evolves, we must change. Some of that change began with fostering more constructive dialogue among our community members. Today, we’re taking another step by no longer allowing adult content, including explicit sexual content and nudity (with some exceptions).
Let’s first be unequivocal about something that should not be confused with today’s policy change: posting anything that is harmful to minors, including child pornography, is abhorrent and has no place in our community. We’ve always had and always will have a zero tolerance policy for this type of content. To this end, we continuously invest in the enforcement of this policy, including industry-standard machine monitoring, a growing team of human moderators, and user tools that make it easy to report abuse. We also closely partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, two invaluable organizations at the forefront of protecting our children from abuse, and through these partnerships we report violations of this policy to law enforcement authorities. We can never prevent all bad actors from attempting to abuse our platform, but we make it our highest priority to keep the community as safe as possible.
So what is changing?
Posts that contain adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr, and we’ve updated our Community Guidelines to reflect this policy change. We recognize Tumblr is also a place to speak freely about topics like art, sex positivity, your relationships, your sexuality, and your personal journey. We want to make sure that we continue to foster this type of diversity of expression in the community, so our new policy strives to strike a balance.
Why are we doing this?
It is our continued, humble aspiration that Tumblr be a safe place for creative expression, self-discovery, and a deep sense of community. As Tumblr continues to grow and evolve, and our understanding of our impact on our world becomes clearer, we have a responsibility to consider that impact across different age groups, demographics, cultures, and mindsets. We spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of expression in the community that includes adult content. In doing so, it became clear that without this content we have the opportunity to create a place where more people feel comfortable expressing themselves.
Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content. We will leave it to them and focus our efforts on creating the most welcoming environment possible for our community.
So what’s next?
Starting December 17, 2018, we will begin enforcing this new policy. Community members with content that is no longer permitted on Tumblr will get a heads up from us in advance and steps they can take to appeal or preserve their content outside the community if they so choose. All changes won’t happen overnight as something of this complexity takes time.
Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes, but we’ve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.
Most importantly, we’re going to be as transparent as possible with you about the decisions we’re making and resources available to you, including more detailed information, product enhancements, and more content moderators to interface directly with the community and content.
Like you, we love Tumblr and what it’s come to mean for millions of people around the world. Our actions are out of love and hope for our community. We won’t always get this right, especially in the beginning, but we are determined to make your experience a positive one.

Constructive Critisim: You’ve failed. Not only yourselves @staff but the whole community of tumblr. You say “freedom of expression” and yet take away that freedom from fanartists, positivity blogs, and others all in the name of making it a “safe place” for those who’re underage. You have done the complete opposite, you aren’t making it safer, you’ve made a war zone by your own hand on your own doorstep. Sadly, I will probably delete my blog, there’s no point to be in a place where “freedom” has chains.
I would have maybe gotten it if you had did an all round sweep of every tag there was. However only nuking one and completely ignoring the others (aggressive hate groups hiding behind “freedom of expression”) is not equitable in any way.
Unless you do something - You will not see me after December.
Tumblr should not ban fanart or even pictures simply because there are 2 women kissing! That’s what’s appening in my tumblr
Everyone, if you are a creator go to this website and sign up for their email course on how to grow & keep your fanbase and monetize your content. Currently lots of traffic so the website is a bit slow to load. Seriously, do it.
