Hi!!! So basically I encountered one of those phishing scams that says "hey, someone's pretending to be you and took my money so I mass reported you, to prevent termination please go to blah blah blah Tumblr discord support account"

Even though I made this account not even 24 hours ago my dumbass was like "...okay???" To the extent where I even made a discord account. But because I haven't used discord I didn't know how to find the so called 'tumblr support account' so googled it and found out this was a common phishing scam.

I told this to the person who contacted me (just in case they were genuine, you never know ig) but they deleted all their comments on my post and blocked me so now I know for sure they were trying to phish me (idk the correct terminology lol).

I tried to report them but by the time I pressed submit on the report their account was just ...gone... ???? I can only presume whoever had gotten into it deleted the account to prevent risk of getting caught??? Idk

Anyways, I didn't give out any information my only contact was my initial response of "mistakes happen! It's fine! I'll make a discord account now to contact the support team" and then when I went "wait this is bullshit isn't it?"

But despite this is there anything else I need to do??? I'm assuming my blog/personal information isn't in any danger but I can't be too sure so is there anything else I need to sweep up??

Thanks for reading this long post lol

Okay not to get too personal on Tumblr (especially in my first post) buttttttt

I've been in Robin Hoods Bay these past few days and 4 years and a few months ago now me and my family also took a trip to robin hoods bay. I was sceptical and a bit moody on that first day but I ended up LOVING. But it was also a very formative trip for me because it's where I first read heart stopper lol.

I already new I was queer, I was realising some of the specifics, and I was fine with it all, but reading heart stopper on tapas during the car ride home and spending the holiday learning about their characters and the relationships and the queerness of it all just made me feel really happy and seen. Little year 7 me was so content on that holiday, and so comfortable with herself and just so ecstatic to be queer.

And although I haven't really read the comics in multiple years and havent really watched the show since season 3 came out, heart stopper still has a place in my heart for being one of the kind of building blocks if you will of my queer experience and something that made me so overjoyed to be gay. It may be cheesy but it makes me emotional and it makes me happy and I love it all the same.

So, now that I'm back, I've been rereading everything. Of course, most of it I remembered but a lot of it I only had vague recollections of and most of chapter 7/all of chapter 8 I'd never even touched so there was still a lot of new content. It's been a good thing for me to just wind down and relax with and it has been really enjoyable. I've gotten surprisingly emotional lol and just super thankful.

And it's fucking crazy because it's just... ending. Something that helped so much with my development, something I loved so much, something I still love, will just end. Like that. I'm glad I've not missed the final update (I was scared the April 1 one was the last but we get an epilogue!!!) but even still it's so crazy to me that it's ending. Id be lying if I said I didnt have a bit of a blob reading the last update of chapter 8.

So basically what I'm saying is thankyou to @aliceoseman (who will definitely never see this lol) and thankyou to heart stopper. I can't wait to watch the film, I can't wait for the epilogue, and I can't wait to see where my life goes after this. Thankyou for letting me be happy (and gay), I will miss it :)
