Hello everyone who sees this!

Have you received anything like this?

The only suspicious activity I've noticed on my account, is this:

The notice coming from an empty blog with a weird AI-generated username

Claiming they put visibility restrictions on my blog (which sounds strange, because my latest post made after receiving this is very much visible and gets reactions)

Giving me 48 hours to follow some link (What if I don't do that before the time runs out? My blog will remain invisible forever?)

Offering me Premium subscription as an apology, if it's their mistake (sounds like too much, no? looks like they really want me to click that link)

My main concern:

IS THIS REALLY OFFICIAL? CAN I TRUST THIS?

If I sound like a mad conspiracy theorist for this, sorry😅 this derives purely from the lack of experience with such situations, and my worries for my account, and I'd rather ask stupid questions, than blindly believe something that doesn't quite sit well with me.

I really hope this is not a scam, scheme or whatever, but if anyone could provide some insight, I'd appreciate it!

@defiantflames, @sayitdittto, @ezalexa, @the-colors-of-venus, you've received this same notice, do you know what to do?

Update: this happened again.

Update2: I keep receiving these from similar accounts.

[theeverfascinatedearthcitizen]

UPDATE3: Finally did some research (AS I SHOULD HAVE RIGHT AWAY), and it didn't take too long to learn

THIS IS A SCAM/PHISHING SCHEME!!!

Here's a great post explaining things😊

Dear people of Tumblr, be careful!❤️

Vash's Home adventures again XD (+ Nai who materialized on the page again to balance out the sillies; I promise he'll behave)

Just Vash being a smart boy and easily noticing a mistake in the nth line of Brad's code. Sure, Brad is super smart too, but can he miss like one little detail and get stuck for once in his life? Yep, a very human thing to do. Bonding with papa

I imagine Luida coming into the lab like: L: Hey Brad, any progress on the-- Oh, hi, Vash!💗 V: Hi💗

Brad puts on a seemingly grumpy expression.

B: Well great news! You don't need me anymore! L: What? V: O_O B: (fakes annoyance) There's a replacement right here! V: (starts sweating) Brad, I...

Brad lets out a little "lol, you bought it" nose laugh, and suddenly ruffles Vash's hair.

B: This kid, I swear. (starts explaining the situation to Luida)

[theeverfascinatedearthcitizen]

I can’t choose which is my favorite vash. First I thought it was brushing-teeth vash, just way too cute, my heart hurts. But then I saw baby koala vash, I wish I was Brad, oh to be able to hold vash like a little baby and chat with him face to face!! But then puppy-eye vash came into view… then sleeping vash… thank you for blessing our eyes

Glad you like them :) I just wanted to sprinkle some cute Vashes on people's dashes☺️

[theeverfascinatedearthcitizen]

A silly tiny Trigun X Buddy Daddies crossover nobody saw coming, probably =) L->R, don't worry about it :)

For the record, no, I don't think Luida would throw Vash at Brad just to be free, it just looks funny XD

An excuse to say PAPA BRAD, because it sounds awesome <3

@nanomooselet, thank you for tagging my other art "brad and the plant he didn't want"! I think about it all the time, and it inspired this one 💗

@alcordraws, Brad "coparenting an angel with his best friend"? I couldn't have said it better! Thank you!💗

(basically, ^ this quote is where the idea for the crossover comes from, since Buddy Daddies is all about two besties co-parenting a little angel (who can be a little gremlin sometimes, but that's okay))

[theeverfascinatedearthcitizen]

Every time I'm at this part, my brain has to load for a few moments to find his legs, because the coat tails make him look like a little octopus

[theeverfascinatedearthcitizen]

Thank you for baby Nai-chan in the corner. Little guy deserves some love despite the horrors… 😔

You're so right, he does😭 I promise not to leave him alone

[theeverfascinatedearthcitizen]

You are so great at drawing facial expressions! Also Vash’s face when he’s saying “thank you Brad” hdhajfksk my heart melted instantly 🥺

Dear Anon, Now that I've climbed down from the ceiling where I was dancing after reading your ask, and calmed down a bit, I thank you for your kind words. I don't know if I deserve the word "great" yet, but I'm trying and learning something new every day, and your comment is incredibly empowering! So happy Vashu was able to touch your heart 🥰

[theeverfascinatedearthcitizen]

And I thought I was done with this XD Related to this

Right -> left ; )

+ little Nai's cameo right out of the blue. I was just thinking how Vash picks the arm, Brad starts telling him "it's equipped with a rope you can throw to--", and Vash goes "oh, like a lasso", and I got this flashback of Nai and his "bang-bang" scene, so now this little one is here too, please don't shoo him away.

[theeverfascinatedearthcitizen]

Sure, Vash is cool with his superb gunmanship, otherworldly powers, protecting people, and fighting for love and for peace.

But it's the littlest moments that hit me the hardest.

Trigun 1998:

A line directed at the unborn chicken in the egg cracked while training, that became his breakfast. Such a trivial and small thing for most, but not for Vash. Not too small to notice, not taken for granted. Holy.

Edit: As you can tell by the comments, I've been informed no chicks were harmed in the making of Trigun 98, which I'm delighted to learn, but you still get the point, right? ; )

And in Stampede, for me, it was this moment when I knew this man was worth following him to the ends of the planet through whatever hardships

Held at gunpoint, about to be either killed or turned in to the military police (yes, we know the townspeople's motivations, and no, it's not supposed to be an easy choice), and he gives them this. The gentle look and smile of understanding. Not a hint of "oh no, why me, please no". Instead it's "if it helps you at least a little, I accept this fate".

I'd read a few words about Trigun before getting into it, and caught mentions of something-something religious out of the corner of my eye. Then, watching this scene, I thought "Wow, this must be what they're talking about; this guy is all-forgiving".

This destroys me every time, and yes, tears were shed while writing this.

Friendly reminder that Jessica dislikes having her hair touched.

Unless it's by Vash💗

Oh I LOVE Stargaze Jessica! Aside from her hilarious obsession with sewing the "I❤JSC" patch onto Vash's coat, which can be a teeny-tiny bit annoying, she's the sweetest girl! I also love that her "crush" on Vash has a more innocent tone in this iteration, being more of a "I ❤ my cute and cool big brother" rather than "I'm going to marry Vash" as in the manga and '98😊 If I were to choose which character from Trigun I want to be, I'd say Stargaze Jessica. Why be a kid? Because hell yes I'd ask Vash if he's hurt after the battle, give him all the hugs in the world, cook for him, and hold my breath for an indefinite amount of time while he gassed the chamber to distract the enemy if he asked me to, no questions asked.

[theeverfascinatedearthcitizen]

Your headcanons and art are sooooo cute ❣️💓💓💗💗

Oh My Goodness, thank you so much!!🥰😭💖

[theeverfascinatedearthcitizen]

Little sketch-bits of this and this

for the sweetest teenager in the universe and his time with his human family (but mainly his dear grumpy dad)

[theeverfascinatedearthcitizen]

Trigun off-screen headcanons (2/?)

A follow-up to this, actually, because it won't leave my head now😅 - Teen Vash after the arm surgery, Brad asking him to squeeze his hand, Vash, not knowing his strength yet, squeezing too hard, Brad yelping, Vash panicking and apologizing. Brad rubbing his sore hand, telling Vash "Good. At least now, if anyone out there tries hurting you again, you can grab em so hard they'll regret it". - ^ This or Vash and Brad arm-wrestling with the same outcome - Vash walking along a corridor with Brad not long after getting the new arm, a random crewman approaching them, shaking hands with Brad, then purposefully extending left hand to Vash. Vash extending his right first, then getting confused. Brad whispering to him "Try with your left". Vash extending robotic arm hesitantly, managing a successful handshake. (yay) - Vash doing the "OH NO, MY ARM IS OUT OF CONTROL" prank on Brad, the latter freaking out, Vash giggling (no, I know Stampgaze Vash is not the prankster type, but he did that innocent little prank on Meryl, when they first met, didn't he? I like to think he had done that once or twice before) - Unrelated to the previous headcanons, but oh my god, do you guys think they celebrated Vash's birthday on Home while he lived with them? Do you think he got sad the first time they asked him about it, because he got reminded of Nai?

Ahhh the more I think about and write these, the more I love teen Vash and Brad ❤

Last minutes of Wolfwood Wednesday, so

Had this vision while my mom was shaking tiny stones out of her loafers:) Just a few hours of walking. In the city. 1x band-aid for the sore heel and 1x stop to get rid of the stones.

But this guy. Months upon months of traversing the desert. The pain. The suffering. The hard-core. No wonder everything would piss him off. No, I won't shut up about this. Wolfwood deserves all the comfort in the world!

This is what his first night on the spaceship was like, no one can convince me otherwise.

Silly Space Sunday

Wherever that journey of theirs goes, I'm going too.

Post-Stargaze boys chilling in space!

And before you ask, yes, the couch jokes are funny to me 😄 As someone who hasn't carried her couch trauma for too long before having it healed by Stargaze, I'm glad it doesn't have that power over me, so what I'm going to do is mock The Couch and celebrate!

Smile, Wolfwood. You look better undoomed🤍

Trimax readers, Vash is for everyone who remembers the "Happy days" arc ; )

Also, you can call me miss Melanie the way I'd rather die than let Wolfwood drink anything stronger than coffee. He gets space Starbucks or whatever😊
