Drift compatible Steve and Natasha

Holy shit, I never realised she shot out the glass so Steve could jump through it while he had her tucked under his arm

[professorspork]

#i love this so much he’s just carrying her like she’s a cardboard box #and they’ve probably done this before #they have a combat maneuver that’s just ‘i’m just gonna pick you up to make it easier for you to shoot things’ #how much do you wanna bet it’s their version of the fastball special  (via capnromanoff)

[secretallie-blog]

I bet it started in New York when he first tossed her up from his shield so she could catch a ride on that Chitauri aircraft. “It’ll be fun,” she said. And it was fun, and they won, so later on they kinda looked at each other and sized each other up, thinking, huh. There’s potential here. So just for fun, again, they come up with all these weird ways to combine Steve’s brute strength and Natasha’s gymnastic agility, plus both of their lightning fast reflexes and ability to calculate angles and trajectories on the fly, minus a healthy sense of self-preservation on both sides. And Clint watches gleefully as they practice and makes his own insane suggestions (come on, do you really think CLINT BARTON would take a stand for safety consciousness in any situation?), and maybe they have a threeway combat maneuver (get your head out of the gutter) based on some wild trapeze stunt he remembers from the circus and they do it in the middle of a fight and their enemy just goes, WAIT, WHAT? And that is how SHIELD wins that particular battle that day.

Please be aware that the "opt-out" choice is just a way to try to appease people. But Tumblr has not been transparent about when has data been sold and shared with AI companies, and there are sources that confirm that data has already been shared before the toggle was even provided to users.

Also, it seems to include data they should not have been able to give under any circumstance, including that of deactivated blogs, private messages and conversations, stuff from private blogs, and so on.

Do not believe that "AI companies will honor the "opt-out request retroactively". Once they've got their hands on your data (and they have), they won't be "honoring" an opt-out option retroactively. There is no way to confirm or deny what data do they have: The fact they are completely opaque on what do they currently "own" and have, means that they can do whatever they want with it. How can you prove they have your data if they don't give everyone free access to see what they've stolen already?

So, yeah, opt out of data sharing, but be aware that this isn't stopping anyone from taking your data. They already have been taking it, before you were given that option. Go and go to Tumblr's Suppport and leave your Feedback on this (politely, but firmly- not everyone in the company is responsible for this.)

Finally: Opt out is not good under any circumstance. Deactivated people can't opt out. People who have lost their passwords can't opt out. People who can't access internet or computers can't opt out. People who had their content reposted can't opt out. Dead people can't opt out. When DeviantArt released their AI image generator, saying that it wasn't trained on people who didn't consent to it, it was proven it could easily replicate the styles of people who had passed away, as seen here. So, yeah. AI companies cannot be trusted to have any sort of respect for people's data and content, because this entire thing is just a data laundering scheme.

Please do reblog for awareness.

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

unfortunately, a lot of the userbase won't opt out. those who don't see this post, those who have posted to tumblr but don't anymore, users on older versions of the app who forget to opt out next time they're on desktop, etc. the point of making it opt-out is to take advantage of people who wouldn't have opted in but don't/can't opt out in time. automatically opting out people who have discouraged search crawling is a gesture that helps Tumblr look more kind, but from the fact that everyone else has to manually opt out, Tumblr is definitely not looking benevolent.

I wonder, will Tumblr/Automattic be selling images from deactivated blogs? I assume deactivated blogs can't opt out.

when will they start selling this data? Is it already too late to keep them from selling every image you've posted before you opted out?

and if they're especially malicious, I wonder if they could get away with saying "this image is from a blog that's opted out, but it was reblogged by a blog that hasn't opted out, so we're selling the image that's on that non-opted-out blog."

making users need to opt out to keep their images from being taken and sold is a shitty move that makes it clear Tumblr/Automattic don't respect our privacy, and @staff are really not giving us much info here to suggest otherwise.

For anyone using the mobile app:

1. Tap your profile

2. Go to settings

3. Go to Visibility

4. Enable "Prevent 3rd Party Sharing"

I had a bit of trouble finding it. Hope this helps someone! Give nothing to AI.

Romanogers

Romanogers is the het ship between Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Marvel comics fandoms. Steve and Natasha first meet during the events of The Avengers on the Helicarrier when they are introduced by Agent Phil Coulson. They worked cohesively as a team defending New York City. There were few interactions between them, while they were fighting or checking up on each other. Steve and Natasha worked as partners for S.H.I.E.L.D., fighting alongside each other

TFW you’re googling why Bucky x Darcy is called Wintershock and then you find there’s a whole shipping fandomwiki and we have a page and like

🥺 we made this ship name, y’all. Ten years ago I made this blog because six of us were flailing about the potential of these two muffinheads as a ship and then I was like “hey, what should we call this ship because typing out like seven different iterations is getting wild” and we decided on Romanogers. and we have a wiki page

also this blog is almost TEN YEARS OLD

Romanogers week 2021 | Bonus: Family / @romanogersweek

‘Cause, I built a home For you For me

Until it disappeared From me From you

And now, it’s time to leave and turn to dust. [x]

“This is our second chance. With this, we can bring everyone back.”

The lush landscape looms around them as the whistling of birds echoes in the sky. The cabin is located in the middle of the forest, oblivious to the bustling noise of the city. Oblivious to everything, really. However, a childish and joyful laugh can be heard approaching from the distance in the company of Natasha and that makes Steve delve further into the jumble of his thoughts. 

The effect of the days that passed after Thanos’s snap still marked his memories. Everyone they lost. Five years passed, and all the feelings of  helplessness and endless anxiety remain.

But they found something in that time, something that they both believed was lost after so much tragedy. A life to give everything for. In the midst of so much pain, Natasha and Steve found themselves. They found warmth in each other’s arms, comfort in the caresses in the middle of the night and love in the union of their lips. And then, then James came into their lives and with him, the meaning of life changed.

Neither of them thought it would be possible, but a feeling of completion suddenly returned. And it was enough. That is why he questions Scott’s words. Is this his second chance? He has already had a second chance, a chance that approaches his side wrapped around Natasha’s legs while bowing his head with a mixture of curiosity and fear at the strangers in front of him.

Scott, Tony and Bruce look at him expectantly for an answer, but he doesn’t know what to do. He feels helpless again. They have all experienced loss. He felt loss, too. He lost Bucky, Sam, Wanda. He lost his family. But in those five years, he found something greater, something that he could not afford to risk.

“Cap?” Tony asks, and Steve looks at him. There is pleading in his eyes but also comprehension, and he knows Tony won’t blame him. Because Tony knows him, and he already knows what his decision is.

Steve hears James’s low whisper asking his mother about the strangers, and he takes a second to capture that moment and the sensations that run through him. The innocence in his son’s features, Natasha’s calm face but at the same time the tension in her body showing the same conflict he felt, while caressing the head of the little boy wrapped around her legs. 

She looks at him, and that’s enough to make him see reason.

It doesn’t matter that he sees Tony’s pleading eyes or the hope in Scott and Bruce’s eyes. Steve can’t afford to risk the happiness he has built over the years. When James was born, he promised to protect his family, and that protection only harbored one answer.

“I’m sorry, Tony,” he whispers.

Maybe it was selfish. In front of him was the opportunity to fix things, to return the happiness to all those who had theirs taken away because of Thanos. But Steve was no longer the same man. Those five years gave him so much, and it was his priority to safeguard it. Natasha and their son are his priority, all that mattered, and he couldn’t live knowing that any of his actions could drive them away from his side. 

He had lost enough already. He would not allow himself to lose more with the naive illusion of believing that they could go back in time and fix everything.

“I can’t.”

I can’t lose them, too.
