Lyn? @pink-chapstick - Tumblr Blog

Introduction post

I mostly joined tumblr to make mutuals, shitpost, and maybe post about my WIP. So totally feel free to message me if we have something in common. Forgive me if I don’t quite understand how this app works.

I’m a 24 year old they/them Florida butch that loves divorced dad rock, ICP, Mitski, and Ethel Cain but is perpetually trapped in an office workers life lol.

I love writing seeped in metaphors and motifs, especially ones concerning obsession, loyalty, and abandonment (and if that tells you anything about me go away /j). I also love lots of religious subtext.

AuADHD with a sprinkling of PTSD and a (diagnosed) daydreaming problem. I’m an INFJ, enneagram type 4, and a Taurus

Some of my favorite characters or media:

Will Graham/ Hannibal Lecter (mostly the NBC show but I do enjoy the movies)

My fanfiction for them is here

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Eddie Brock/Venom (mostly from the movies even though I dabble in the comics.)

My fanfiction for them is here

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Arkin O’Brien and Asa Embory (from the Collector series. I like them separated or shipped)

My fanfiction for them is here

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Buttons from Our Flag Means Death (I named my dog after him! She’s my profile picture!)

Kuroko from Kuroko’s Basketball

Foggy Nelson and Matt Murdock from Daredevil (shipped or separate)

Bilbo Baggins and Thorin Oakenshield (shipped or separate)

Saiki from Saiki K

Pretty much any jojo bizzare adventure character….

Komatsu from Toriko

Golden Kamuy (like the entire manga!)

Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad

Adam Stanheight from Saw

SVSS <3 but mostly those AUs and fics where SQ and SY are like brothers or cats or something LOL

I also really like Clowns, Hell’s Kitchen, and Hyenas!

I might add to this later about my original story in the works. The main premise is my main character realizing they’ve been raised in a cannibalistic cult started by their mother and currently run by their older brother. The facade of normalcy begins to crumble when a reporter decides to stay with the “family” for an extended time to do a story on their religion. After a time things go awry when the reporter gets wrapped in the leader’s web. Now our main character must make their own path and decisions, something they’ve never had to do before. Will they sink back into the blood coating their hands or rip themselves apart trying to begin anew?

The current working title is Sheep Fangs, so I’ll be using that tag.

The YouTube Blockout is still happening

Even if this is your first time hearing about it, you can still show your disapproval of the new policy by joining the blockout/boycott.

How?

Stop using YouTube. The best way to show our disapproval is by completely ignoring YouTube until they roll back this decision. There are lots of alternatives, and we are working on a masterlist. If you absolutely have to use YouTube in some capacity, I highly recommend using a front-end client like FreeTube. It gives you more privacy and doesn't have ads, but the best option is still to boycott YT entirely.

Use Google products as little as possible. I have switched over to Firefox, and there are lots of alternatives for lots of Google products. If anyone's interested in a specific list, I'll share what I find.

Sign this petition:

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

If you're interested, there's a Discord server for this, too, started by @gentleman-velvet. Look at their blog for more info about that.

But why are we doing this? Why should you care?

I'll let YouTube themselves explain it for me.

[Alt: A screenshot of the YouTube policies page that reads: "For all U.S. accounts, YouTube employs a dual approach by using self-declared age as well as the application of an age estimation model that uses machine learning to determine whether a user is over or under 18. Regardless of the birthday in the account, this technology enables us to deliver age-appropriate product experiences and protections, treating teens as teens and adults as adults. How it works: We use AI to interpret a variety of existing signals that help us to determine whether a user is over or under 18. These signals include the types of videos a user is searching for, the categories of videos they have watched, or the longevity of the account. When we identify a teen user, we’ll automatically apply our safeguards, including: -Disabling personalized advertising and restricting age-sensitive ad categories -Turning on digital wellbeing tools -Adding safeguards to recommendations, including limiting repetitive views of some kinds of content. Users have the option to verify that they are 18 or over by using a credit card or a government ID. We only allow users who have been inferred or verified as over 18 to view age-restricted content that may be inappropriate for younger users.]

Read that all the way through. According to YouTube, if their AI thinks you watch childish content, regardless of the birthdate you associated with your account, your account could be restricted until you provide either a government-issued photo ID or a credit card to verify your age. This is what they themselves are saying.

Personally, I don't want a private company to have images of my ID or my credit card. I feel that that is an invasion of my privacy. I fear what might happen in the case of a data breach. And Google has fairly frequent data breaches. Just search (with any other search engine) "google data breach recent" and see for yourself.

And consider adults who don't have either a government-issued photo ID or a credit card. What then? It would appear from the policies described on YouTube's website that they are just out of luck in that instance.

This could very well affect animation on YouTube. It could affect gameplay videos. It could affect anything and everything that their AI might deem "childish."

YOU SHOULD CARE

Guys jsyk, Google as a whole is apparently doing the same thing with the ai age-estimation or age-verification policy

Your Google Search experience might soon be interrupted by an AI age verification pop-up

I'm in the middle of switching away from Google right now

fuck this shit

What are the best Google alternatives????

quantumboogaloo

Personally, I’m using Firefox browser, DuckDuckGo search engine, proton for email, vpn, calendar, etc, and to replace Google docs/google suite: LibreOffice and Ellipsus

christinewhoblog

guess I must check proton mail now.

And change all my emails. sigh

Gotta do what you have to do. I don't buy stuff because I don't like wasting my stuff and using my credit cards.

i've got a list of alternatives that I'm working on at the moment, it's a wip but what I have finalized is public

A thorough directory of alternatives for YouTube and Google products

Yeen Fact #792: Bone crushing grin

Yeen Fact #792: "Aside from just having pretty smiles, Spotted Hyenas have one of the strongest bites of any mammal (around 1100 psi in estimates! For comparison, a humans is 162, a Gray Wolf is 406, Lions around 650 and Grizzy Bears at approx 1160). Huge jaw muscles anchored to a tall sagittal crest and a reinforced skull drive those jaws, while the oversized premolars act like built-in anvils for cracking big bones. "

This has been another fun Hyena Fact.

the only reliable, effective way of "protecting children" is education. but people don't want to hear that because they don't actually care about protecting children, they care about protecting a mythologised ideal of innocence

Hannibal's Notes on Will

a very lucky person got this from the propstore but does anyone know if there's a transcipt?

ser4fhim

here’s a translation if you can’t read it (this is of the last image):

Will Graham Hypnosis Treatment - 18

02-14

Will Graham is taking well to the hypnosis treatment that he has been going through. He submits to the treatment nicely within a five minute interval of the interception from my pendulum. He has been showing more and more fatigue in the eyes when the sessions begin. They are taking a larger and larger toll on him. It will not be long until he has no idea what is happening to him. The sessions will continue for the next six weeks before we upgrade to the next level.

The level of stress this treatment is taking on Will is not a shock to me. His body and mind has been taking such a beating this past year that he does not even know who he is anymore. This is something I plan to use to my advantage when the time comes. The signal will be clear when he is ready for my darkness to enter his mind. He needs to be ready. He needs to accept his weakness and long for my power.

Hannibal (2013-2015)

1x02 || 1x07

#them looking up at the same time #Hannibal’s smile #HAPPY PRIDE

owlowlowlowlowlowlowl

this camera scares me sometimes like i zoomed in and hello That Is Me

#this has too many potential metaphors to name

willgrahamcracker2013

this has to mean something right?

or maybe im crazy

Both scenes are depicting Will's death. He died in that kitchen, a part of him was gutted. We saw the stag die there, and Abigail. Hannibal killed the superficial aspect that tied them to each other, and aborted out of Will the lies. Will, prior to Mizumono, was still in denial about himself, "the wrong thing being the right thing to do was too ugly a thought". Only after he revives from that that he faces the truth, "I wanted to run away with him". He had to go through a process of rebirth after Mizumono, searching for Hannibal, facing himself, facing Hannibal in order to face himself, and he still decided to shut his true self out. So in Wrath, we see the image mirrored because it is his true death. He's not alone on the floor now, he's on the arms of love and truth and acceptance. They're both death scenes, but one is death of illusion, the other is death of shame. In one he dies alone, by clutching to his illusions. In the other, he dies willingly, clutching to the only truth.

ai generated images make me increasingly sad and tired the more i see them in more and more casual contexts. i dont know how to explain, but it just fills the world with a bunch of nothing. no matter how visually stunning the pictures might be, there's nothing behind it for me. no dedication, no emotions, no feelings, no hard work or creativity, nothing i can truly think about, admire or enjoy. i dont think thats how art is supposed to be
