(reblog if you are against scam and to warn others in your fandom)

Everyone who asks for donation on tumblr is a scammer, legal donation never takes place on a tumblr blog. ppl who reblog donation are scam spreaders block and report them !

Different forms of scam: gaza scam, asking for rent (or in general for money) scam, art scam, fanzine and merch scam (it is illegal to sell self made merch about a character where the rights are owned by the company/keyword: copyright protection). You see it in different fandoms, keep your hands off such merch and so called fan-zines. Every form of transaction can be tracked, as I said it is illegal and not only the one who sells it can get into serious trouble.

ASKING FOR MONEY HAS NO ROOM IN A FANDOM ! Ask yourself if these ppl are actually a fan of your favourite fandom or are just in there to beg for money or make quick money in different ways.

Okay 👁👁 I realized this, but magic is never seen being utilized for shipping food in Thedas. tbh this applies to a lot of fantasy worlds with magic. But specifically rn for DA. Could they possibly be using winter magic to make pseudo refrigeration?

ELLIE. I AM SO GLAD YOU ASKED. (I have thought about this and its like a big thing in my dnd setting but that's not what you're here for.)

So, I really dug into this for Dragon Age (and later my dnd setting) when I fell down this rabbit hole in the early days of working on Thedas Cookery - and its also in my milk meta as well as the whole meta/headcanons I have about Orzammar's importing of food but those are entirely different posts.

Food preservation in shipping food and the possibility of some form of refrigeration in Thedas: there is a simple and a complex answer to this.

Simple answer is yes, there is magic that could be used in food preservation and shipping of food. However, it isn't strictly winter magic. The other option is the preservation glyph in the creation school of magic (this comes up in the ttrpg). If you stick with just winter magic, the creation of ice that will slowly melt naturally and sticking it in a root cellar, basement, shipping box, etc. is a possible use of magic for preservation.

Now the complex answer. Sort of, in a very yes it is possible in theory but logistically for most of Thedas it cannot be utilized because it is so expensive and people are both rationally and irrationally afraid of magic.

But for the most part the main barrier would be cost. Hiring a mage from a circle is expensive, and really the only people who would be able to do so regularly are those in Tevinter, Rivain, the Crows, Dalish, Chasind, Avvar, or those with the means to do so. And if they don't get a mage and instead spring for dwarven enchantment (or circle enchantment), that is also prohibitively expensive and limited in availability.

In The Masked Empire, Celene has a tea pot that keeps her tea at the right temp constantly. It is a dwarven enchantment that while common in Orzammar's nobility and higher socioeconomic castes, it is so expensive Celene notes that if she were not empress she likely would not be able to enjoy such a thing.

Enchantments in general are expensive and are a display of wealth and power. Which is why Tevinter and Orlais use it for a lot of public spaces to show off the wealth and power of their countries. But it isn't just the specialized labor that makes these expensive, but also the rare/dangerous materials.

So what about the glyph I mentioned? Well, the creation school of magic is one of the hardest schools of magic to learn and master. So already it becomes another specialized skill that has a limit on who can perform it. In the ttrpg, the glyph has this description:

You draw a faint glyph on the surface of the subject, which can be any piece of dead organic material. The spell arrests the process of decay for the material, keeping it as fresh as it was when the glyph was inscribed for a month. A glyph of preservation can be renewed during its duration, which extends its affects for another month. When the glyph expires the process of decay begins again from where it left off. The spell is used to preserve foodstuffs, to preserve corpses (for lying in state or dissection), or to protect valuable items made of wood, paper, or leather.

So, the ttrpg does specify that foodstuffs counts as "dead" but on a technical level unless it is meat or other animal byproducts we know this isn't true. (See the potato you put in the dark and forget about and you come back to it having arms and legs.) But lets just say for the sake of this that plant based foods are also "dead". This means that you can preserve a crate of tomatoes or a cluster of mushrooms, etc. Unless of course it only applies to dried/preserved food stuff and animal byproducts (meat, dairy, eggs, ect.). But this is my quibbling.

All that said, the fact only a mage skilled in creation magic can do so decreases the availability of its use. It means that while yes, Tevinter or Rivain could easily use this to ship to other nations. Dalish, Avvar, and Chasind could also use this glyph - or even have a modified version of it since they do not practice circle magic and all magic we are exposed to is either circle magic or enchantment/lyrium based. (Except for the Dragon Age Multiplayer (DAMP) where we get to see a skill tree of non-circle magic aka "hedge magic".)

So non-circle mages may have access to a different methodology or be barred from that vein of magic due to the inherent differences of circle magic and non-circle magic. (This brings up a whole other conversation on the magic lore of Thedas that the game doesn't quite go into outside of codex and I think it is some of the best lore. But I'm weird.)

So TLDR:

Absolutely there is preservation magic for foodstuff. It just is an actual handy glyph. BUT you could use winter magic as a way to make ice out of season to increase the viability of food and create a sort of refrigeration.

Scam on Tumblr hides among pseudo fan-blogs: Blogs where donation is reblogged on, are scam accounts. [DA edition] gets regularly updated

A short reminder of the actual obvious, but I have noticed that many do not seem to know, still. This problem exists in all fandoms on Tumblr. If you see a blog where art, polls, memes are posted inbetween donation reblogs, you stumbled over a scam account which pretends to be a fan account but in truth art and everything else posted between the donation posts, is only used to get more attention for the posted scam. The blogs often look like normal accounts and imitate a fan account, pay attention to what they post in detail. The people who ask for money on here are scammers, they use random dramatical pictures to beg for money, some even use the same pictures for different stories. They often set a donation goal of "we reached 5.000 $ of 100.000 $, please donate that we can survive !" They try to put people under emotional pressure, which does not work with people who got a brain and are reasonable because they see through it- other people however are easy to be influenced and fall into the scam trap, that is the reason why this post exists, to give you informations about the scam tactics used. There are scam spreaders as we call them who get tagged by countless of scammers, the scam spreaders are part of the scam mafia and make money out of it too and there are scam supporters who support the scam spreaders and reblog their content among those several artists.

Here an example how it looks like- in this case a random poll was used and reblogged by some blog owner, the scammers reblog their own shit in a loop to spread the scam further, they do the same connected with art:

[It is so urgent that a watermelon randomly was added to the post, by chance everyone in Gaza got cancer - seriously that shit got high meme potential]

[Scammer blocked people of a certain fandom? Maybe they have pointed out the scam]

[I guess young Ibrahim is choking on something else]

[He even pretends to be queer on a site that is known to be "a safe place" for LGBT, what a chance ! Without the situation the scam tactics would not work so why does he even complain while making some money out of it like many others and very likely does not even live there but got his scammer ass somewhere in USA, collecting money and posting political hatespeech against the west:

[Scammer rebloggs political hate messages that go into the terroistic direction on the same blog, Lesbostini is one of the scammer's many alts.]

More scam shared by the same blog above which is sharing the same Gaza scam in return too:

[Of course person is disabled and while asking for money for herself, she shares Gaza scam at the same time too, why not. Some people really have no honor]

[Another scam spreader who uses art to spread gaza scam and of course is in close contact to the other scam spreader]

Legal donation is never posted and spread that way. The scam, pseudo fan accounts are all connected and support themselves, you can see it by checking who reposts "their" art or polls etc. it is 85% blogs who share the same scam donations too they are very well connected on Tumblr, the rest are people who do not realise that the account is actually fake and just like the posted artwork on there, or the poll out of naivity or stupidity.

The best thing you can do against the scammers: Report as scam & block or at least ignore. Do not give scam any attention or communities / artists who support the scammers, no matter how much they whine and sob in the post that is copy pasted, they are well organized scammers, who at the end laugh at how stupid you were to believe their story and give them money.

[A scam spreader who is part of the community run by P0lkadotdotdot who openly supports scam to push her own community and blogs using the numbers of scammers to collect likes and reblogs + fill the server with random scammers/lurkers]

Another scam spreader, who has 2 blogs one connected to DA and one that spreads mainly scam:

[Another chronically ill person, of course ! Add cancer to it and that you got no legs and arms and the story is perfect. When you see the blog description you already know everything you need to know.]

A DA "fan" who even asks himself for money next to supporting scam spreaders and this very person encourages people to have us banned for pointing out scam which is their main problem "you can try reporting them for racist hate speech" what racist hate speech? Interesting and even more interesting is this person gets reblogged by a known account by now:

I guess you get how they are all connected.

[Scam elf is part of the inner circle and created a new account using her alt pinayelf-archive, blog is full of scam posts. The scammers are not the smartest, you see that at first sight when looking at the blog- it's always the same kind of people, people with a very low IQ. They create new blogs after a while, got many alts thinking people do not notice the obvious and they can hide the scam among so called fan posts on the new account. Next to spreading scam, they often begin to ask for donation for themselves after a while, pretending to be chronically ill- remember they all are chronically ill, got cancer and their children get eaten by rabid dogs if you do not donate !].

["... I will share and post my scam there too, pretending it to be more of a fan blog"]

[Another Artist who supports the scammer and does art for illegal zines]

[So called artist is very surprised to get tagged by her scammer friend, not at all staged]

[After we revealed his scammer tactics he creates another new account, desperately trying to be seen as a fan blog. An interesting contradiction to want to talk to DA fans after he made fun of exactly those fans in an earlier statement posted above [June 18]. You see the clear behaviour that repeats over and over again- the scam spreader himself needs treatment that means acting the ill person like the ones above in other posts. It is always the same tactics, they spread scam, create other accounts when the scam is pointed out, try to connect with people who are stupid enough to believe the shit and after a while they will ask for money too, being suddenly ill or they had an accident. That is a typical scammer method to win the trust of people first and then needs help and the scam he spreads, he wants you to believe it is all legal and just born out of a good heart. He wants your money, nothing else and so do the ones he works together with the other scammers he reblogs, they share the money they make.]

[The scammer tries hard to sell himself as an artist after we revealed the scam trying to to conceal the scam further with a few childish emotes, fake anon asks and an "about me" to let his blog look more fan like but as you saw above it is a fake fascade. He forgot to add that he likes to scam people and is mentally unstable to be at least honest about one thing.]

[A big surprise: More scam]

[Take a picture of random destroyed houses and ask for money, nice try]

Thanks @lady--lucrezia and others who made these screenshots for you to see how it looks like when other fan accounts support the scammer above by reblogging their content and automatically the scam connected to it -> giving the scam account more attention. We revealed their ID's because they changed their blog pic's after they realised their tactics were revealed. Remember they try to act like a normal fan accounts, but they use many fake accounts to push the gaza scam on their mains with the same tactics, scammers and scam supporters in a never ending scam circle wank.

- Look chanafehs up in search and see yourself that our accusations are true, tagged by many hundreds of gaza scam & bot accounts. He is a palestinian scam spreader and gets support by the following blogs that were mentioned above:

-chanafehs - alts: palipunk, thechildofmythal, lesbostini, hollytree33, northgazaupdates, nabulsi / dalishious / tepkunset / pinayelf -alt is pinayelf-archive, pinayelfart, rookbubu / strangeauthor / wannursyafiqah74/ ana-bananya, gobs-archive , yourfavsupportspalestine, neodymiumculiz, asoiafpalestine -> scam spreaders

-p0lkadotdotdot/postcardsofthedas - Runs a community & discord server named "the hanged man dragon age creatives or THM Discord" the admin & moderators support scammers and scam on tumblr openly and even tried to conceal and turn facts to protect the scammers, mainly the main scam spreader "chanafehs" and one of the idiot's alt "palipunk". They hope to get more likes that way and try to desperately fill their server with even more lurkers to appear "big" offering some DA 3D prints now, where they go against the official Bioware copyright, that means it's illegal same like the scam and scam support.

-schwarznummer1, buriedknight / hyperbali, inanshalla work closely together with the scam spreader and reblogger, they reblog gaza scam themselves as you see above and try to use their art similar like the spreader to indirectly advertise gaza scam. buriedknight works together with lelianazine, people who sell illegally copyrighted merchandise, two illegal actions.

-schwarznummer1 does not only support scammers but sells edited art as her own [F. William Burton]. Person runs a fake account together with Chanafehs to mirror this blog and spread twisted informations

Other members who are known for supporting scam indirectly: star--nymph, exhausted-archivist, cowwowo, mrsducky, pickelda, rabentanz, hollytree33 , lathbora-virann, madamemortem, cullenssweatyballsakk, v-arbellanaris, zirrai, stinkylittletoad [alt: anew-f.], vllygyal, inanshalla, felassan

If you notice similar blogs with the same kind of behaviour, send us the blog name and we will take a look at it, as long as it is connected to the DA fandom.

If you have not seen the scam alert post about DA artists connected to scam, take a look at it.
