Scam Alert! 📢⚠️
Looks like scam bots have switched to a new tactic and are trying to pass themselves off as a Tumblr security system. At least for me, this is something new.
But a fresh blog post that tells me to “verify my information” via some suspicious link... yeah, riiiiight 🙄
A warning to everyone — this is a scam. Under no circumstances should you click on any links! Block and report this bots.

I love those tropes where Hiccup has dragon traits and characteristics without being half dragon physically
Like of fucking course Hiccup is talking to dragons in their own language, of course they flock towards him without anybody's input when he needs help, of course he jumps off cliffs and has no sense of danger from height, of course altitude sickness is not even a thing to him, of course he'll hiss at you like a disgruntled terror when he's too sleepy and cranky and of course he'll eat the raw fish without noticing when the twins try to prank him with it, of course the one proper weapon he made is on fire, of course he finds eels repulsive, of course he has no problem scaling cliffs or slinking through rough rocky terrain, of course he feels cranky and cooped up when he hadn't gone flying for a while, of course he growls when he's too angry. Next thing you'll know, the kid is allergic to blue oleanders and dragon root
Not Toothless privately thinking that his human was born in the wrong species' body but it's okay, it's not Hiccup's fault these things happen
happy valentine's day 💘
Before he passed, my dad’s favorite Star Trek series was Deep Space Nine. Always said his favorite Captain was Sisko, and that he saw me in Jake.
Anyway, my favorite scene in Deep Space Nine was when Sisko sucker punches Q (John De Lancy, the absolute icon) and this wonderful set of lines is said.
Q: You hit me. Picard never hit me.
Sisko: I’m not Picard.

my daily affirmation as an author
every day I learn bot comments on ao3 are stooping lower and lower
anyway if you get a comment like this, chances are that they are bot and their goal is to do whatever it takes to get you to delete your work, most certainly (from what I’ve heard) it’s because they want to “safely” steal your work, use it to train their ai without you being able to rightfully claim ownership of your work since “there’s no proof that the work was stolen/was posted elsewhere first by you” because the original source has already been deleted.
THEY ARE ALL BOTS. at first it was “ao3 is deleting fics and your entire account will be affected unless you delete the fics yourself” then it was “this work contains contents that are illegal and they have already reported you and your fic to the police” (yes, that’s how desperate these bots are), and now it’s this.
report their comments to ao3 for spam—in this case, specifically, I think you may be able to report them for harassment too—and don’t pay attention to them, most importantly don’t delete your works, don’t feel discouraged by their comments. remember that they are bots and they mass comment something like this on people’s works at random to get people to delete their works. (or even if they’re not bot, they are still pathetic bullies who don’t deserve your time or attention.)

Zane and Garte’s relationship is a very real dynamic, y’know. For some reason, some parents out there just hate their second borns.
I ended up connecting their relationship with my mom and grandma’s relationship due to one too many similarities.
As good as a grandmother she was to me, my siblings, and my cousins, she was not a kind person to my mother. To be honest, she wasn’t very kind to many people, but my mom got a lot of the brunt of it. And when thinking about it and looking back at the series, Garte seemed to behave the same way towards Zane. Not very caring to his son no matter what he did to try and make him proud and openly favoring one or both of the other sons in the house, so like my mom, it feels like at some point he gave up on trying with Garte. And while both Zane and my mom had their other parent (Zianna and my grandpa), that sting of rejection and constantly witnessing the favoritism was still there.
And part of me wonders that if Zane had children in the Mystreet timeline, would it have been exactly the same way for Zane as it was for my mom. Cause I know it hurt, watching the parent who never treated you like anything more than a burden treat your children a million times better.
Playing Fields of Mistria and the farmer almost getting trapped deep within the mines thanks to the Sealing Scroll, well… I’m gonna quote Hiccup from episode 1 of Race to the Edge for this one!
“No one goes to this much trouble unless there’s something that they don’t want found!”
I don’t know exactly what happened all those years ago in this game’s lore, but there’s nothing more accurate than that sentence

A little shipping pet peeve of mine is when there’s a canon ship that only shows one side of things. With what fandoms I’ve entered, I’ve usually only seen this with straight ships and usually it’s only the guy’s attraction to the girl, with very little (if any) signs of her reciprocating and then suddenly they’re happily together in the end.
And I’m not entirely hating on those types of ships, there are moments I see the potential, the appeal, but I can’t bring myself to get behind a ship where it shows all of one character’s attraction and almost none of the other’s, as if it doesn’t matter how the other person feels.
Anyone else feel me on this?
>First, we’ve discovered that about a quarter of all the internet connection in or out of the house were ad related. In a few hours, that’s about 10,000 out of 40,000 processed.
>We also discovered that every link on Twitter was blocked. This was solved by whitelisting the https://t.co domain.
>Once out browsing the Web, everything is loading pretty much instantly. It turns out most of that Page Loading malarkey we’ve been accustomed to is related to sites running auctions to sell Ad space to show you before the page loads. All gone now.
>We then found that the Samsung TV (which I really like) is very fond of yapping all about itself to Samsung HQ. All stopped now. No sign of any breakages in its function, so I’m happy enough with that.
>The primary source of distress came from the habitual Lemmings player in the house, who found they could no longer watch ads to build up their in-app gold. A workaround is being considered for this.
>The next ambition is to advance the Ad blocking so that it seamlessly removed YouTube Ads. This is the subject of ongoing research, and tinkering continues. All in all, a very successful experiment.
>Certainly this exceeds my equivalent childhood project of disassembling and assembling our rotary dial telephone. A project whose only utility was finding out how to make the phone ring when nobody was calling.
>Update: All4 on the telly appears not to have any ads any more. Goodbye Arnold Clarke!
>Lemmings problem now solved.
>Can confirm, after small tests, that RTÉ Player ads are now gone and the player on the phone is now just delivering swift, ad free streams at first click.
>Some queries along the lines of “Are you not stealing the internet?” Firstly, this is my network, so I may set it up as I please (or, you know, my son can do it and I can give him a stupid thumbs up in response). But there is a wider question, based on the ads=internet model.
>I’m afraid I passed the You Wouldn’t Download A Car point back when I first installed ad-blocking plug-ins on a browser. But consider my chatty TV. Individual consumer choice is not the method of addressing pervasive commercial surveillance.
>Should I feel morally obliged not to mute the TV when the ads come on? No, this is a standing tension- a clash of interests. But I think my interest in my family not being under intrusive or covert surveillance at home is superior to the ad company’s wish to profile them.
>Aside: 24 hours of Pi Hole stats suggests that Samsung TVs are very chatty. 14,170 chats a day.
>YouTube blocking seems difficult, as the ads usually come from the same domain as the videos. Haven’t tried it, but all of the content can also be delivered from a no-cookies version of the YouTube domain, which doesn’t have the ads. I have asked my son to poke at that idea.
fastest reblog in the west
Yeppers. :)
reblogging for study later AND to spread the info.
Seriously, get and run PiHole if you can. It changes your internet experience so much for the better. I get shocked when I visit a website when I'm someone else's network, by just how many ads the internet is flooded with now. Take back control.
If I ever share anything that was AI generated it is purely by accident. I hate that it's getting harder and harder to tell and it makes me want to never use the internet again. It definitely had its faults, but man I miss the internet of the 2000s so much.
Adding to this: please TELL ME if I share something that is genAI and you know it is. I want to know this information.
