My darling, my honey, bite my finger! ♡

MAIN BLOG: axel-not-rose; there, you can find my artwork and ramblings. Here, I reblog lots of fandom stuff as well as other things I like such as desserts, architecture, music, and nature photos (and content of cats and bunnies ♡). I fall in love with a lot of franchises and my hyperfixation often changes. Current hyperfixation: Vocaloid (especially Kagamine Len). I do my best to translate all Japanese posts I reblog. In regards of original posts, I will occasionally post ramblings here (typically related to Holy Lancer), and will also post my own Vocaloid song translations. Be wary for curse words (I have a tendency to curse when I get passionate about something), but other than that, no offensive words or derogatory terms here; this blog also does NOT tolerate any slurs or derogatory terms. This is a safe zone for people of any race, gender identity, or sexual orientation. Black lives matter. Free Palestine. I don't reblog NSFW content, but there may occasionally be some suggestive stuff that can toe the line, in which case it will be tagged with "suggestive". Trigger warnings will be tagged as "[trigger] tw". Tboy twink 🏳️‍⚧️. Pronouns are they/them and he/him, ordered by preference. The name's Axel. Creator and proud owner of Gothamine Len. Serial Lencest enjoyer, it's good to be back. Biggest Project Diva fan you'll ever meet. Also the biggest Holy Lancer fan to live; he is my beloved, he is mine. Demisexual biromantic. Icon is a drawing of Holy Lancer by Hikukastel that I specially commissioned. Header image is the official illustration for the song Holy Lance Explosion Boy, by Ho4ma, from the game Project Diva X. I will love you forever if you can find any solo artwork of Holy Lancer Len and send it to me. I'm a musician and love music so much. Please ask me about my music taste; I do listen to more than just Vocaloid. Trying to be an artist, a writer, and a Vocaloid tuner.

If you follow me on my main blog you'll see I've renamed and rebranded. Wanted to do that here, too, it's been far too long.

Hello! I'm Axel! And I loooooooove love love Holy Lancer!! If you want to know more about me, you can read my bio as well, hehe. Enjoy your stay here and enjoy looking at the lovely posts I reblog ♡

Some navi under the cut~

For games I am into that have multiple entries, I tag both the series and game entry IF the games have different casts by game (ex: #fire emblem and #fire emblem genealogy of the holy war; however, in the case of Fire Emblem, Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn go under the same tag since they share a cast). This means that I do not tag games like Kingdom Hearts by game entry, and all characters go under the generic #kingdom hearts tag.

This blog does NOT run on queue. I just reblog things when I feel like it. Be warned.

I do fairly generic fandom tags for all of the fandoms I'm into. I tag all of the characters in the pictures (unless I really don't like the character). In the case of a ship picture, however, I only tag the ship name and not the character names. Things from fandoms I am not into, as well as things that don't fall into any pre-established categories go under #miscellaneous.

I also reblog non fandom things, such as #cats, #bunnies, #desserts, and more. Additionally, I will reblog things related to lgbtq+ pride and autism, as well as important events and real world issues. In contrast, though, I also reblog nice happy things, because we could all use some positivity, especially during this time. Non exhaustive list; you can find many more themed tags than just these.

Most characters are tagged by their names, however, a few characters have special tags. Most of them are old and are no longer used, so they will not be listed here. However, here are some special character tags that I still use:

#The star-crossed family of Chalphy: My ship tag for Sigurd and Deirdre from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War

#My sunshine rainbow cupcake boy: My tag for Sora from Kingdom Hearts

#♡⁠˖⁠ Upside inside out ˖⁠♡: My tag for my beloved Holy Lancer Len

Other special tags that I use:

#Axel's translations: Vocaloid song translations I have done

#Axel's sideblog stuff: Text posts I make on here

#Axel's faves: My favorite posts of any and all kinds, fandoms, and content

#Shameless self reblog: Posts (typically art posts) I reblog from my main account

#Axel yearns: Me being lonely and longing to be loved; tagged because I very much understand if you want to filter this dhohodhohodhohodhod

Hey. If people aren't aware, Microsoft admitted they know who you and where you are at all times and will give your info to the police.

They have a Global Device Identifier (GDID) Tracker that functions as a fingerprint for your PC that can surpass VPNs, proxy servers and countries. Although it can't survive a clean reinstall of Windows (it can survive updates), because Microsoft forces you to go to the internet and log in into a Microsoft account, they will be able to get to you.

Microsoft kept it secret and it was only found out when the FBI tracked a hacker thanks to the information Microsoft gave them.

You should be paying attention to this, and possibly consider moving away from Windows. If a government, especially the US government, doesn't like you for some reason, this could be seriously concerning.

This article specifically notes:

For journalism, activism, or domestic abuse situations, skip Windows and use Linux routed through Tor instead of a commercial VPN. A GDID doesn’t care which VPN you use, only that it’s still the same Windows installation.

Microsoft admits Windows 11 has a GDID tracker with no off switch, first documented publicly in an FBI hacker complaint

GDID is the persistent Windows ID that helped FBI trace a Scattered Spider hacker despite VPNs. Here's how it works and how to limit it.

Other important quotes:

What has researchers uneasy is everything else the case reveals. Costin Raiu, a well-known malware researcher, asked on the Three Buddy Problem podcast how much of this exists on other platforms, and whether it is linked more permanently to hardware. Matthew Hickey, another security researcher, called Windows “surveillance software”.

Two things back that up:

There’s no consent screen. A GDID gets assigned when you sign into a Microsoft Account. Apple’s advertising identifier needs an App Tracking Transparency prompt and a visible reset; Android’s works the same way. GDID has neither, and a Windows reinstall only gets you a new number Microsoft can still get back to the same account.

Then there’s activation. Massgrave, the group behind Microsoft Activation Scripts, notes that Windows setup sends hardware info to Microsoft and gets identifiers back, the same tokens later used for Store access and licensing: “It’s impossible to prevent Windows from getting a GDID without breaking activation and UWP app[s].” Anyone who lost a license after swapping a motherboard has already met a smaller version of this.

Here's the complaint filed to the court, the primary source for the case mentioned in the article. You can find mentions of GDID on page 30 of the document or 34 of the PDF.

Thank you @just-call-me-zinnia for finding it!

You can get and use windows 11 without logging in with a microsoft account, as of five days ago. I am a local user on my computer. Don't ask me how to do it, because my computer repair guy did it when he reinstalled windows, but there are tutorials out there. Refuse to connect to internet until you're set up and can use the computer freely.

[frenchtugboat]

Refusing to connect to the internet doesn't help. You have to open a Command Prompt (Shift+F10) and typing start ms-cxh:localonly (and pressing enter) during installation when you get to the sign in/create stupid ms account screen

For comprehensive deets, tomshardware explains

How to Install and Log In to Windows 11 Without a Microsoft Account

Maintain only a local account on your Windows 11 PC.

Unless there's really really specific reasons to subject yourself to windows, please consider installing linux mint instead.

white people please just purchase native artwork and jewelry from native people i keep seeing idiot white people be like “waaah i wish i could support native creators but its cultural appropriation” girl why would beaders sell you their earrings then. just dont get a medicine wheel or a thunderbird then like damn it is that easy

[anexperimentallife]

If Native folks are making it to sell to white people with the approval of their tribe, it’s not “appropriation”–its support and appreciation! So yes, buy that native-made dream catcher, but not the mass produced fakes made by white people. Like, you can go to a pow wow and buy native crafts there, too.

[sch-uwu-lchen]

here are some places to get native/indigenous goods and merch online if you can’t find something local or if physical access is an obstacle:

https://sweetgrasstradingco.com/ https://nativeharvest.com/ https://byellowtail.com/ https://www.salishstyle.com/ https://trickstercompany.com/ https://hutxh.com/ https://www.thentvs.com/ https://urbannativeera.com/ https://www.oxdxclothing.com/ https://kotahbear.com/ https://www.totemdesignhouse.com/ https://ginewusa.com/ https://eighthgeneration.com/

and the only native-owned comic shop in the world: https://redplanetbooksncomics.com/
