Why Isnāt Tumblr Freaking Out?!?!
Guys. Article 13 just got passed.
Article 13 just got passed.
Article 13 just got passed!!!!
Article 13 just got passed.
Article 13 just got passed.
Article 13 just got passed!
Article 13 just got passed.
Article 13 just got passed.
I donāt know if Iāve said it enough. Soā¦
ARTICLE 13 JUST GOT PASSED!!!!
I have been on tumblr all morning and havenāt seen one post about it yet! I donāt understand how!
ARTICLE 13 JUST GOT PASSED!!!!
It was a 438 to 226 fucking landslide vote too. (https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/12/17849868/eu-internet-copyright-reform-article-11-13-approved)
Theyāre voting on it one last time in January 2019, but thatās barely any time to change anything!!!!
You still have time to call your MEPs so PLEASE!!! Do so.
If youāre outside of the EU, sign this petition: https://www.change.org/p/axel-voss-save-the-internet-reject-article-13-and-11?recruiter=839558037&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition
If you donāt know what this means, itās basically then end of how the internet currently is in Europe. Memes? Nope. Youtubers? Bye!
Youād need a license for everything!!!!
And my fellow Americans my be all like, well, whatās the big deal for us? Itās a Europe deal.
No, because the Youtubers there that you love so much? This effects them too! Iām freaking out because Jack, the person who helps my depression go away, may no longer be able to do what he does!
Guys, we need to stop this somehow. Please.
Call your MEPs. Sign petitions. Protest (Peacefully please. Donāt get hurt).
Iām sorry for tagging you guys if you donāt want to be or already know, I just want as many people to know as possible!
I canāt tag everyone, but if you see this, please reblog it. Spread the news. Sign the petition. Call your MEPs. Do what you can to help stop this from passing in January.
Keep reading
I donāt live in Europe but this needs to be spread
Iām spreading this because this is greatly unsettling to me. I live in europe and really canāt imagine how the future would look like.
I donāt live in Europe but I signed the petition and am signal boosting for all my EU pals. Call your MEPs!
Because they still have to vote for it two more times.. maybe .. thatās why?
All you Americans who are saying āI dont live in europe, butā¦ā You do understand how the internet *works*, right? You *WILL* feel the backlash from this if things go through the way they are going now.
this needs to be spread. article 13 will effect the world.
The petition has closed, but there is still time to protest. Do so.
i think the old link to the petition died
hereās the link to sign the petition against article 13!
The internet could change next week, and not in a good way
You may have heard about the efforts in Europe to reform copyright law. The debate has been ongoing in the European Parliament for months.Ā If approved next week, these new regulations would require us to automatically filter and block content that you upload without meaningful consideration of your right to free expression.Ā
We respect the copyrights and trademarks of others, and we take all reports seriously to ensure that your creative expression is protected. We make this clear in our Community Guidelines.Ā Thereās already a legal framework that works and is fair: TodayĀ we take down posts and media that contain allegedly infringing content when we receive a valid DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown request. We also provide clear-cut ways for people to fight back if they believe their removed content was not a true violation. These instances are monitored and reported and live in our biannualĀ transparency report.Ā
The suggestion to use automated filters for issues of copyright is short-sighted at best and harmful at worst. Automated filters are unable to determine whether a use should be considered āfair useā under the law and are unable to determine whether a use is authorized by a license agreement. They are unable to distinguish legitimate parody, satire, or even your own personal pictures that could be matched with similar photographs that have been protected by someone else. We donāt believe that technology should replace human judgment. Tumblr is and always has been a place for creative expression, and these new regulations would only make it harder for you to express yourself with the freedom and clarity you do so now.Ā
If you access Tumblr from Europe and want to act, you can find more information on saveyourinternet.eu.Ā
Please reblog this as much as you reblogged the posts about Net Neutrality.Ā
If Article 13 is approved, European People might be basically banned from uploading any fan content.Ā
You wonāt get new fanfics from people in Europe.
You wonāt get new gifs from people in Europe.
You wonāt get new fanart from people in Europe.
Because theyāll be automatically filtered and blocked!
We might leave Tumblr and other fandom pages.
And if weāre getting all our content blocked?Ā
You might lose some of your favourite followers/mutuals.
You might not get to read the rest of that fic youāre dying to read - simply because the writer lives in the wrong country.
So do whatever you can to help us stop this.
Reblog this.
CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES TO TELL THEM YOU DONāT WANT ARTICLE 13 TO BE APPROVED IF YOUāRE EUROPEAN! DO IT VIA THE HOMEPAGE
Not to be #thatperson but I feel like national news isnāt fully realizing how bad this is. Not to detract from the horror of Paradise and surrounding towns but this is really bad. And Sacramento is worse.
It is that bad, and you are not supposed to mind. You are supposed to accept the new normal. Sometimes American cities will be uninhabitable. Sometimes America will just burn. You will be encouraged to identify with this. Itāll probably be a whole thing, like how New Englanders take pride in driving in snowstorms.
The city of San Francisco currently has the worst air quality of anywhere in the world because of the wildfires. (This level of air quality, incidentally, is bad for people and kills them.) These once-in-a-lifetime wildfires will become more common in our lifetimes.
I think ! itās okay! to say this isnāt fine!!
I am in downtown Oakland (right across the Bay from San Francisco) and I live in Alameda.Ā The office I work in is one of the tallest buildings in Oakland and we are on the top floor.Ā Current visibility is under six city blocks.Ā I live in Alameda, which is less than four miles from here.Ā It is not currently visible.Ā It is scary and awful - and much worse so for the communities in Butte County.
Itās fucking horrible. Itās a days/weeks long brutal endurance through the smoke even for the healthiest who live and work indoors. The old, sick, infirm, homeless, and those that are cruelly forced to be out and work in this have it perilously worse. And thatās not even touching on the actual immediate devastation to the lives in the path of these wildfires. It is just so bad, all around.
I can confirm. Iām in the East Bay right now though I live (usually) in the area of the Camp Fire. Right now thereās been a haze either between my grandpaās house and the house across the street, or between the house and the end of the street. Iāve had to goĀ āno, Papa, let me do the errands because I have a mask and you donātā up until my parents brought us a box of masks.
And people are coming here from Chico because the air is clearer hereĀ than in Butte County.
PSA for the undertale fandom since a lot of yaāll dont seem to know (or care).
toby doesnāt want us selling unofficial undertale merch. art commissions are fine, but things like buttons, t-shirts, posters, etc are not.
please respect tobyās wishes. please donāt sell unofficial undertale merchandise. please donāt be that person.
source: tobyās twitter has multiple tweets about itĀ as seen above
If you really want to support Undertale/ Toby Fox, PLEASE buy the official merch from fangamer.Ā

Out Of Clothes
Yesterdayās reblog (now deleted) was funny but now I would like to rage, because I forgot Tumblrās new system means my activity page is hecked up with all the notes from other peopleĀ reblogging it and not even reblogging it from me.
Ugh.
Idle Conversation | Loki
benevolentgodlokiā:
Loki regarded the indicated figure with interest. Shepard didnāt look all that impressive to him from the outside but he had learned well enough that humans could surprise him, not least for their being so prolific. Once upon a time he had seen them as insects in their lifespans and abilities, but that had been an ignorant, childish excuse. More interesting though was the interface Zeāev presented. The god preferred learning of monsters to heroes.
āA worthy threat it seems. How did Feros repel them?ā
āI am under the impression it was due to their complete unity.ā Zeāevās head tilted as they pondered the question. A few taps pulled up a display of Feros and a brief summary of the planetās statistics: size, population, air composition, gravity, etc.Ā āIn my previous...career, there were whispers of a being exerting its influence on the human colonists. AĀ āthorianā. Scientists on Ilum were approached for research into investigating spores the colonists were infected with. I never had cause before to fully delve into the situation.ā Zeāev shrugged as though to say and there you have it.Ā āIf you are looking to rebuild and survive, having a similar unity might serve your people well, Loki. I understand not wishing to face the Reapers, but...I hope you consider rebuilding in this galaxy despite the current turmoil. We as a whole could use more people in the fight and certainly one bearing the name of a human trickster god. I doubt your name is mere coincidence.ā
A little smile tilted up Zeāevās lips as they got Loki another drink and some small brightly-coloured cubes in a bowl.Ā āHere: so you actually have something besides thought for food. This dish from Thessia is surprisingly filling.ā
didimentionimarmedā:
A small chuckle passed his smirking lips when Zeāev mentioned them screaming Johnās name appropriately, and it was hard to resist placing a kiss on them. However, he remained ever the professional gentleman while they were at the club. Touching and teasing was fine, looks were fine, but too much affection and it might discourage the customers from taking Zeāev home for the bonus menu. And while John had no problem lavishing them with gifts galore, he knew Zeāev liked their financial independence as well. Maybe John was a bit of a sugar daddy, but Zeāev didnāt need a sugar daddy to survive on their own.
āThat is good to hear, pet. Now, run along, go shake that pretty arse and all see you after close. Then, Iāll take you home and treat you like a proper gentleman should treat his jewel.ā
A knowing smile aimed Johnās way while the dancerās hand skated down his torso, fingertips subtly trailing and flicking downwards off his belly just above his belt. The arrangement between Zeāev and John worked out well for both of them. John knew he was Zeāevās favourite patron. But Zeāev still had others, and John wasnāt tied down to the Drell if he wanted to play with others. Asari, humans, Turians, Salarians, whomever John wanted to. Soldiers, dancers, smugglers, mercenaries. There was just a tendency to float into each otherās orbits.
āWe both know: I am exquisiteĀ when shaking my ass, and you are beautifully selective in your gentlemanly ways.ā Zeāev laughed and blew John a kiss before pivoting on a rather impressive pair of glittering silver heels that made the dancer rather taller than John at present. But those shoes also helped add a sway to a muscular rear, silk swirling and swaying with that turn and the dancerās easy steps. The low-slung back to the custom-made suit bared beautiful swirling stripes of white, bright blue, and deep purple around a white diamond shape bordered with deep purple between Zeāevās shoulder blades. That back was beautifully toned and tapered down to a trim waist above the shimmering sky-blue silk train of their outfit. What made wearing this outfit so fun wasnāt the train, but the fact not too many people knew what a blatantly seductive outfit that was to Drell.
My son Sean and his family Yuli along with my grands Lil Sean and Lily left their home yesterday due to the evacuating of Paradise CA. They are safe and are staying in a hotel. Itās hard to say what needs to happen next. All I know is they have lost everything...as I am writing this Iām in shock...
So I donāt really do this all that often. But my friend has lost her home, and has two small children. If you canāt donate, please reblog so hopefully somebody can give even a little to help them out.
Nothing can bring back their home or the town weāve all known and had fond memories of since we were kids. But every little donation on this GoFundMe can help this young family keep going and figure out where to go next.

Hey there, beautiful.
Now, Zeāev wasnāt conceited, but they knew they were beautiful. It was part of how they infiltrated various groups so easily in their life before, part of why they got the job they had now. But hearing that voice say those words, seeing that face with the ancient blue eyes, it warmed the dancerās heart. They smiled with genuine joy as they approached and reached out for the captain.Ā āHey there yourself, gorgeous.ā A finger ghosted over Jackās cheekbone, just above where the frill would be on a Drell.Ā āHave you come to make my night?ā
cptharknessā:
āNeither. There was a species, a long time ago, well, it actually hasnāt happened yet, but, anyway.Ā They were seekers of knowledge and they found this place where there was an entire planet made of nothing but water. Just an ocean, in space.Ā They wanted to make sure that it was preserved.Ā And they had the technology to make things that are bigger on the inside.Ā So they put the ocean into this gem.Ā And itās just so happens that it was so well balanced, that the ocean has simply continued to exist inside the gem, and they never found a safe place to put it. I once met the very last member of that race, and he gave this to me. ā He put it Zeāevās hand.Ā Ā āAnd now, itās yours. Because I know you love the ocean, I know you miss it.āĀ
Zeāev knew better than to get flummoxed by the convoluted way Jack talked about time and events. He had an esoteric view of time and its contents. So the dancer simply nodded and cradled the softly swirling gem in their hands as they nestled in against Jack, now drawing their legs sideways over the captainās lap.
It was beautiful. And humbling, to think this was the only one, nobody else had even a piece of this ocean. It was a whole ocean. In Zeāevās hands.Ā āJack...thank you...ā A wistful smile crossed their face as green eyes met blue.Ā āI will treasure this. And...this is probably safer for me than returning home. An ocean I can look at, hear, that is real, but without the humidity.ā

cptharknessā:
āThey live only a minute.Like watching a star being born and live and nova.Ā At least here.Ā Iāve met some that believe they slip into subspace, or through time.Ā But, somewhere, in the nearest stellar nursery, a new star will be born, even if one wasnāt meant to.Ā Ā ā
He pulled out another box.Ā Ā āAnd now, this is for you to keep.Ā Itās what was once second place, now third,ā it was a small egg-shaped gemstone, about the size of Zeāevās palm.Ā Inside, it moved and swirled.Ā blue green, green blue.Ā Deeper and darker, then lighter.Ā āThis is a micro-ocean. An entire ocean, with itās own life and life cycle.Ā If you use an imaging or magnification program on your omnitool, youāll be able to scan it and see them, from whales to krill.ā
A wistful smile crossed Zeāevās face at that news.Ā āHopefully they do indeed slip into subspace. I know there are sayings about beings burning twice as fast but twice as bright, but...I hope that little bird gets more out of life than simply...a brief song, even if its memory lives on with us.ā Zeāev would certainly never forget. Jack was unlikely to.
But there was still another gift. Zeāev rested their head on Jackās shoulder briefly before straightening up, looking from the gem to Jack with eyes wide in awe.Ā āIs it...a micro-ocean of Earth? Or of Kahje? Either way--or if it is neither--it is still a magnificentĀ creation and...well, you know my opinion of oceans.ā They laughed a bit breathlessly as they held their cupped hands out.Ā āMay I hold it?ā

He followed them, enraptured.Ā They moved like water currents move. Light nebula clouds on solar winds. It was enthralling, and he was, as always, under their spell.Ā In the beautifully draped room, he grinned.Ā Ā āPerfect.Ā Sit.Ā āĀ He took something from his coat and sat down on the loveseat.
āA good friend of mine, my best friend at the time, once asked me what the most beautiful thing Iād ever seen was.Ā And, until rather recently, that answer hadnāt changed. And I thought, since you eclipsed it, and changed the answer entirely, itās only fair that I show you whatās now the second most beautiful creature in all creation.ā
He opened up a small box.Ā Inside was a very tiny egg.Ā The egg hatched and and a small bird, entirely made of fire, smaller than a humming bird took wing.Ā It blazed, brighter and brighter.Ā And it sang with such pure utterly pure music.Ā It blazed and lit up the room and it sang until it was so bright it couldnāt be looked at.Ā The after image would be on their eyes, but barely a minute past and the last notes died away. In a brilliant flash, like a sun going nova, it was gone.Ā Jackās face was enraptured.Ā He opened his eyes. seeing the after images of the firebird floating there in his vision, and looked to the Drell for their reaction.Ā
Zeāev was indeed quite curiousĀ as to what precisely Jack had brought. But as they sat on the loveseat next to Jack, pulling their legs up beside them, the captain opened the box to reveal a small egg. The dancer didnāt often see bird eggs, but this seemed small for...what, a bird? A reptile?
A gasp escaped as the egg opened to reveal light, warm light, as the bird took flight and sang sweeter than any current space-faring race could hope to, not even the Elcor.Ā āIt is amazing...ā Zeāev breathed. Their eyes moved from where the bird was last seen to Jackās.Ā āWhat happened to the bird? Has it gone elsewhere?ā A part of the dancer feared the birdās existence was as ephemeral as its song...

āMmhmm!Ā Wouldnāt mind going somewhere a bit private. One of these gifts is a bit distracting for the public view.ā He winked.Ā Ā āThough nothing naughty about it.Ā Why donāt you lead the way?ā
āYou have aroused my curiosity...ā Indeed, Zeāevās eyes sparkled as they searched Jackās. Oh, but Jack wanted to go somewhere more private.
One hand swished the shimmering golden train of their outfit around behind them, the other held Jackās hand to guide him across and up the various platforms of Purgatory into the darker, hidden passages leading towards the dressing rooms, until finally they came into Zeāevās.
As always: silver, blue, and green silks and velvet cushions were strewn or draped over a loveseat, a chaise, and larger pillows meant for lounging.Ā āPrivate enough, dear?ā

They were the most beautiful thing that Jack had ever seen in his thousands of years.Ā And heād been gone looking for something to show them beauty that was all that compared to them.Ā Ā āI brought you two presents,ā he smiled at them.Ā Ā āI hope at least one of them will make you as happy as seeing those gorgeous eyes make me.ā
Curiosity had a soft chirp escape Zeāev while an arm slid around Jackās waist.Ā āI enjoy your presents,ā they admitted. Blue digits came up to touch the corner of the captainās lips with a softening smile of their own. āBut having you smile like this, it is a lovely gift. Do you have time to come, sit?ā
