Well, here I am. @lunalocura - Tumblr Blog

I accomplished TWO whole things today!

WELL THAT WAS TERRIFYING

I heard about how change the order of your likes on desktop, so it shows your very oldest likes first.

Now, There was a time (way back when) that I actually went through and curated all my likes. I had a LOT of free time. so my oldest like isn't actually my VERY oldest like. STILL. the OLDEST ONE.

Fall of 2014. it's older than my niece.

Broken notes… deactivated account… removed image….

Finally, we have them all.

In addition: OP’s name is just… gone. No “[insert username]-deactivated[insert a bunch of numbers]” as is the standard for deactivated blogs.

Just the world “deactivated.” Look upon their post, ye mighty, and despair.

It’ll be almost impossible to find this post unless it wanders across your dash.

It wandered across mine. I shall help it travel forward.

So I had to return a book to the library today and I came straight from the horse farm. I went to the front desk because it was an item on loan from another library and I wasn’t sure if it had to be checked in differently. The librarian said no, it could get returned in the normal slot but she could take it and check it in right away.

It was only when I got back to the car that I realized I had walked into the library covered in dirt from head to toe and handed back a book about grave robbing.

I guarantee you that was the highlight of their day.

The Truth About Unions: What Has Organized Labor Done for You?

The devil (chronic migraine) works hard, but Holly Mop works harder.

It’s like having a very grumbly heat pack trying to lay on your head. And getting annoyed when you move.

Hi! Sorry, I have a question, and obviously you're going through it, but I just spent a long time scrolling your blog to find the app you use (found it, it's visible) and was wondering if you use any others as well? (To monitor health. Obviously you use tumblr) hope dogtor helps!

modmad

want to help? you can!

Thank you to everyone who has been sending such kind messages, I promise I really do read them all, even if I can't reply, but while these messages are wonderful (and really. I mean it. just the nicest and most heartfelt things I've ever seen) the sad fact is they don't change my situation. But you can change it. You can help me.

If you know my situation, if you want to help me, please write to Glitch Productions. They are the only people who can, and I believe, might, be able and willing to save me. SMG4 has ignored me, even through a legal letter. I have no hope that they will do otherwise, but Glitch are a different case and I think they just genuinely don't know I exist. I have sent them a message, to no reply, but more messages means more of a chance they will notice. IF you are on twitter please message that way, I closed my account there years ago, and please be polite: I am not asking for hate, even if I've received it.

Even a short message will help. I need numbers, I need voices. My own voice is being drowned out, but you can speak for me as well.

For some points on the plagiarism under the read more (what I collected/organized while building up an email to send):

1) TIMELINE RGB was created long before, over a decade before Mr. Puzzles first debuted. (*RGB's first appearance may have been 2011, was a little iffy on that)

2) UNDENIABLY UNCANNY RESEMBLANCE The number of traits, some uniquely specific to and representative of RGB's design, that are copied in Mr. Puzzles design are too many to be chalked up to 'just a coincidence'

Especially when you look at the designs of all of the other TV head characters out there - I collected as many as I could find (though I'm sure there's more) and none of them come even close to sharing the number of similarities that these two do.

3) TV MODEL AND DESIGN CHOICES While looking up references for older TVs, I found that for the exact TV they're based on (small retro box TV with knobs in the upper right of the TV and an antenna) most of the references didn't have a vent on the side of them like RGB and Mr. Puzzles do.

I looked up 4 different reference terms, and still had to scroll a while before I found one that matched exactly (above collection just a general sample/example of types of TVs I found). Unless my browsers are wigging out, either the pictures that would come up for these kinds of TVs were different in 2023, or this exact combination of features are just not very common for this style of TV. If that's the case, it may be a bit strange to design a character with those features together.

Here's where that distinction is important: Mr. Puzzles as a character doesn't have much of a reason to go with this design over other styles of similar TVs. But RGB does. The vents on the sides of RGB's head aren't just an aesthetic choice - they're included as a legitimately integral part of the story-line (Negative RGB). The same can be said for a number of other choices Modmad has made, down to individual items of clothing, that show just how much thought and intention and consideration went into every aspect of RGB's design.

Which makes it that much more frustrating to see him get plagiarized in such a careless manner by people who don't even seem to put much care into their own character (common criticism I've read that SMG4 fans have had about Mr. Puzzles and his 'arc').

4) OTHER PEOPLE, EVEN THOSE WHO HADN'T HEARD ABOUT THE SITUATION FROM MOD, NOTICED This has been noted by fans of both series since Mr. Puzzles first came out.

Some people may have found more points than this, but these are what I stumbled upon. Hopefully helps bring a little more context to the situation.

modmad

reblogging this version because. yeah.

yeah.

modmad

just to update that nobody from any of the relevant parties has got back to me or made any statement. please reblog this version, as @timmyreads has compiled an extremely comprehensive explanation and evidence of the theft; at first I just wanted to be left alone, but it's really not enough. every time I see Mr Puzzle or even read his name I feel physically sick, it's hard for me to type it even now. I feel violated in every way, and I need help. I can't save myself, I have tried every single avenue available. At this point I need to be saved.

For those saying please/just keep making TPoH anyway, it's not that simple: I can't. My mind and heart are broken. The story itself has stopped communicating with me. I cannot make it any more, not if this situation doesn't change, and that loss of the story scares me more than anything else in the world.

abutterflyobsession

since I last saw him my therapist tells me he has gained possession of five goats and twenty chickens. One of the goats is named William . . . aka Billy the Kid.

abutterflyobsession

therapist: my housemate got four rabbits when I wasn't looking

me: male AND female?

therapist, sadly: yes

me: that's gonna be a lot of rabbits

therapist: *heartfelt sigh* I know

abutterflyobsession

speaking of twenty chickens . . . I'm gonna be getting free eggs next time I see my therapist

abutterflyobsession

my appointment tomorrow may possibly be cancelled due to goats giving birth . . .

abutterflyobsession

therapist: sorry I've got to cancel after all

me: aw man, kids these days . . .

abutterflyobsession

saw my therapist today

(surprisingly the goats have not given birth yet, it was a false alarm)

abutterflyobsession

@lunalocura I shot my therapist a text to tell him you just identified all the types of eggs on sight and he said 'way cool!' and I agree!

lunalocura

In the interest of total transparency, those are

1) educated guesses

2) not all the eggs, just the more noticeable ones.

Also, yay!

bunjywunjy

if you haven't seen Goat yet. you should see Goat

bunjywunjy

like seriously not only is it a black anthro movie, the animation is fantastic, the story is interesting and the bits are hilarious, and the the anthro world the movie takes place in is well built and compelling! like, honestly this blows zootopia right out of the water for that

bunjywunjy

got excited and almost forgot but also there are SO many uncommonly seen animals in this movie! there's a fucking aardwolf!!! also it is INCREDIBLY difficult to tell the male and female animals apart. mostly it was down to voice and i was wrong multiple times. GOOD MOVIE

lunalocura

Oh gosh, yes! So fun! I love how the main character wasn't the protagonist! Such a different way of storytelling! The OUTFITS! The character growth on everyone! Loved it!
