Welcome to my tumblr blog – I don’t really know what I’m doing with it, but I hope you enjoy looking around <3
I’m platyps, a self-taught artist from the UK! I like to draw draw TTRPG and fantasy characters, fanart, and sexy guys - not usually all at once!
This is my main blog, where I post whatever I want with no concern for tone or consistency – I reblog lots of other art, some shitposting, and text posts that I find interesting!
If you just want to see my art, use the links below!

Crawling out of my hole to remind people that with this current update to Firefox (version 144) they've gone and dumped in their lot with a buncha lil AI tools, namely Perplexity as a new search engine.
So if the sound of that leaves your mouth tasting of tar, here's what you want to do:
In the url bar, type in about:config
It'll give you a big scary warning page that you might poke holes in your browser. Good. You want to do that. Click continue.
One by one, you're going to need to put each of these into the search bar in the page, not up top:
Each of these are gonna have a lil toggle icon on the right hand side that looks like a funky double-ended arrow. Click that and the value next to it should change to false. It all auto saves as you go. Some of these might already be set to false by default and that's peachy.
The next best thing you can do for yourself is to set your default search engine to udm14 or Qwant, but for now, we're just tidying the garden a lil bit.
As more and more people are being forced to switch to Windows 11, Microsoft's most AI-malware-ridden OS yet, I've been putting together articles and links for how to undo the damage and save your battery, your RAM, your disk space, your privacy, and your sanity from this bullshit.
FIRST:
The easiest way to get rid of the majority of the bullshit that Windows is forcing on us, as of October 2025, is this one-stop-one-click debloat solution from a modern day hero:
A simple, lightweight PowerShell script to remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, as well as perform various other changes to customi
It's very easy, even if you're not tech savvy or get scared of pop up windows saying "ARE YOU SURE?" Yes, you are sure, I promise. This program takes maybe two minutes and will save you SO MUCH pain, time, and money (and exploitation).
Now that you've done that, here's the cleanup, to catch the little shit that the debloat might have missed (most of this will already be done by debloat, but hey, it's good to double check).
Microsoft wants to put AI everywhere on your PC, but you can take back control.
Even just reading about some of these features makes me angry. Fucking Copilot and "Discover" AI scrapers are in Notepad. NOTEPAD. And then there's this uncanny valley garbage:
No uncanny valley video calls for me, thanks! (Also, what else is it doing while it scans your face and listens to your calls? What else, microsoft? Because there was a lot of memory being assigned to this program for a simple "smooths your skin" add on).
Tired of Microsoft pushing ads throughout Windows 11? Here are the settings you can tweak to turn them off and reclaim some privacy.
The truly insane number of places they have stuck ads on your own home computer is sickening. Become Unmarketable.
Bonus:
Some background programs you probably don't need that are taking up space and how to remove them (Microsoft forums, 2024)
Your Samsung Galaxy Phone comes with 22 apps you don't need (Android Police, 2025)
How to disable the AI in firefox (still the only browser that lets you do this permanently) (Windows Report, 2025)
For all those who complain about explicit “smutty” books or smut in fic in general:
Just be aware that a bill has been introduced in Oklahoma’s state senate (SB 593) that would make writing/publishing/owning an explicit romance book a felony.
So, when you come on here to espouse your “anti pro-ship” nonsense, or moan about how hard it is to find fics/art/books that aren’t “smutty” — know that this is the effect. You are being used as mouthpieces to help feed and perpetuate censorship. There is no room for censorship in fiction because it will never stop at what you deem morally “right”. It is about control and the restriction of speech. Your discomfort with sex in media does not make it wrong, and it certainly doesn’t mean you get to advocate for its restriction.
Do not be pawns in the far-right’s game. Do not call yourselves allys of any kind if you are willingly feeding into a pillar of far right extremism. It will not stop where you think it “should.”
I quote/paraphrase the great Tom Lehrer with complete sincerity (and no small amount of horror that this is once again relevant 60 years later):
from Smut, 1965-
Now, I would like to say something about pornography or - as well call it in the United States - ‟smut”. Wonderful word, yes.
There have been many cases in the American courts recently, about this very problem.
The United States Supreme Court, for example, has decided that a book or a film can be banned if it arouses the ‟prurient interest of the average person”. (NOTE: THIS REDERENCES A 1957 RULING, NOT A CURRENT EVENT, which makes the current events even more horrifying)
I love the Bill of Rights with all the fervor I possess,
And when I pray, I always say, "Thank God for freedom of the press".
But now they're trying to take it all away from us unless
We take a stand, and hand in hand
We fight for freedom of the press.
It's 2025 and political songs from the age of SEGREGATION are freaking relevant and becoming truer by the day... they always said I was a child of the wrong generation and I damn well don't wanna watch the world devolve back into it.
(Thus end the Mys' voyage into politics for the month... maybe.)
It’s okay to block people. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s okay to set your boundaries. It’s okay to curate your tumblr experience. It’s okay to block people.
You don’t need a ‘good’ reason. You don’t owe them an explanation or a chance to defend themselves.
This is the internet. It’s tumblr, for goodness sake. We’re here to have a good time. If someone is ruining your good time, even just slightly, block ‘em.
Reminder that you don't have to call yourself AMAB or AFAB. You don't have to say "I'm AFAB nonbinary." Saying "I'm nonbinary" is enough. You don't need to identify with what you were assigned as by some doctor however many years ago. Mentioning your ASAB is scarcely relevant to most conversations, even those about medical transitioning.
Nonbinary is enough, you don't have to supplement it with a binary system of any kind. It doesn't matter how many people want to know your "transition direction." It doesn't matter how many people want to know what your genitals are (which wouldn't be alluded to by your assigned sex anyway). It doesn't matter how many people want to binarise you. It doesn't matter how many binary people you confuse. No one needs to binarise you. Nonbinary. Is. Enough.
