With all that has gone down with Valko, even if they truly get rid of him or keep him, you still gotta imagine he “exists” in the lads universe.
So imagine the reader/Mc is just living their new life, getting close to the guys and just figuring things out. Now imagine the reader is out at an event with Zayne for people in the medical field and those connected to it. And out of the corner of her eye she see something she never thought she would see again, Valko, being invited as the chairman of Eoncore Tech.
And she is paralyzed, because love him or hate him, he was a love interest. This was a man who was made for the Mc just like the others and was discarded. Does he still have that connection to her or was that all just lost in the cancellation. And now she is forced in a choice of introducing herself and see all the love used to make him, or letting him live his life never knowing what could have been. Could she do that to him or herself, with her having all those expectations. And then just like that he’s gone, swallowed by the crowd, and once again, she is left with all these emotions and nowhere to put them.
I have a angsty Lads story idea I need to get off of my chest, but I’m not a fic writer nor have I gotten any sleep, so this is everywhere. Forgive me
Bear in mind this is before Valko is even out, so this idea could hold no weight in the end.
The story idea begins with the adding of Valko into the group (because I refuse to live in a world where they don’t know each other exist and Mc accidentally or on purpose forces them to interact), at this point Caleb has been added to the group. While still a little hesitant has more or less has found his footing in the group. So you would think Rafayel would be the most hostile to Valko and you would be wrong. Because it’s actually Caleb, and no one can figure out why.
So, one day Mc forces all of them to get together to get some work (study time my beloved) and hang out. So Mc and Xavier are doing reports, Rafayel is painting, Caleb is reading reports, Sylus is making deals, Zayne is looking at Mc medical files (for reasons unknown to me), and Valko is doing chairman scientist stuff. And while they are doing all of they are chatting and being all around civil to each other (for Mc). Out of nowhere Valko takes a peak at Mc files and makes the simple comment, “ What a fascinating heart.”
And Caleb flipped out, and not in an angry way. But in a terrified way as he grabs Mc to get her as far away from him as possible. The other quickly stop him and try to get him to explain, to them at least, his overreaction to a weird compliment. And now they faced with the knowledge that both Mc and Caleb were experiments, and only one of them had the mercy of amnesia. That terrible stuff happened to them and Caleb up until now has been her only protector, and he’s scared. Scared that this new member to their group, a scientist, is going to hurt her, and him.
Because not a lot of people actually acknowledge that Caleb probably remembers the labs. And I’m going to get a little headcannony here, but I don’t think Caleb only purpose was to protect or kill Mc If things got out of hand. I think Caleb was also for replacement part. Because Mc was their “Unicorn” a thing that no matter what they did, survived. They weren’t going to take the chance to lose her to bone cancer or something else they couldn’t control. And I think they made sure he knew, which would mess up anyone, much less a kid. Then when that never really came to be, they had to use him for something.
That all I got for now and I feel like I lost the plot a little, but I just needed to get the idea out of me before I exploded. So thanks to whoever reads and tries to understand my sleep deprived ramblings.
Tumblr is the reason why I have something I call the cashier test which is, if i told this to a random cashier at the grocery store, would they think you're crazy at best or at worst would they be warranted in leaping over the counter and beating the shit out of you. Karl Marx mpreg is crazy, but not beating the shit out of you crazy. The cashier will probably talk about you to their coworkers and it might even make their day. Telling someone they're complicit in their own oppression by working a minimum wage job at a grocery store makes them warranted in leaping over the counter to beat the shit out of you.
Here is an article from NPR about it (May 22, 2026):
Carolina Milanesi, an independent technology analyst, said Google is trying to make its cash cow business — search — richer and more personalized, and it will make shopping easier. But there is a risk that users may have fewer choices about what to click.
"Right now it's: I ask a question, I get a bunch of answers and I feel that I'm in control as to which answer I take, or if I'm looking for something, which product I'm going to end up buying. That is going to be less so going forward," she said.
Milanesi envisions AI-enabled search and agents proposing products to consumers — perhaps even those they have requested — but with less clarity or choice around where it's coming from.
"If you're going to say: 'I want a pair of Jordans, go find them,' you're not necessarily sure what steps have been taken and whether the AI has used a source or a store that was paid for and therefore came up in the search results," she said, "or if AI actually went and did their due diligence and picked the best for me as a customer."
And here's one from Time magazine (May 20, 2026):
While Google already has “AI Mode,” the company will now power the whole search bar through its new Gemini 3.5 Flash model.
Instead of the classic list of blue links, Google Search will now also generate a custom page with an AI-generated summary of what you’re searching about, which will then trigger a conversation with AI Mode on the main page, allowing users to ask follow-up questions—similar to the kind of layout you would see when opening ChatGPT.
And a little more from Time's article on how this may affect the websites that we are trying to search for:
When Google first started implementing AI-assisted results, news publishers warned of “catastrophic” impacts on the industry, much of which relies on Google search to drive users to their websites.
Last year, news websites saw significant traffic declines as chatbots increasingly replaced Google search as the primary way to find sites and ask questions.
Small businesses also noted drops in traffic to their sites from Google, which has traditionally delivered customers.
Lily Ray, vice president of SEO strategy & research at Amsive, a digital marketing agency, warned as early as last year that Google’s planned changes to search are “going to have a devastating impact on the Internet.”
“It will severely cut into the main source of revenue for most publishers and it will disincentivize content creators who rely on organic search traffic, which is millions of websites, maybe more,” she told Technology Magazine.

[tumblr] will never tell you to contact a discord account to dispute a report.
[tumblr] will never tell you to change your email to someone else’s to clear a report.
[tumblr] will never use a gmail account to dispute false reports.
[tumblr] will never ask you to pay for tech support related to your account being false reported. They also don’t charge for tech support in general.
Anyone commenting asking you to message them for an urgent manner about your account is running this scam and anyone DM’ing you saying they accidentally reported you for anything are also scammers regardless of who the account used to belong to. Do not message the account if they comment asking for a DM. Your mutual/friend is not running that account anymore.
Do not message the Gmail account it is not support.
Do not message the discord account it is not affiliated with tumblr or tumblr staff.
Do not go on Microsoft Teams it is not affiliated with tumblr or tumblr staff.
[tumblr] does not use Discord for any official tech support matters do not even think they do just because the screenshot looks official.
If you got hacked by this scam immediately contact actual tumblr support do not wait. Do it immediately. (Link is to tumblr help center)
Please share this post to your friends, mutuals, or random internet strangers. I can’t stress enough that people are still falling for this scam because they panic and don’t pay attention to the text.
to me saix is like a verbally abusive mother with unobtainable standards who makes sure you know you don’t meet them whenever you come home. he makes sure his kids are vaccinated but also wants them to pay rent once they turn 18. axel is like an overly involved mom who calls herself her kids best friend. “the fun parent.” he has been feeding the family take out for the past 25 days and gets upset when his kids suggest moving out for college. definitely not as bad as saix but he loses his luster once you get older. they’re meant to be weird uncles or older cousins at MOST and shouldn’t be someone’s sole guardians or else it’ll end up like this. this house is a prison
So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????
I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.
Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?
Saw a sharp increase in my follower count after posting this. The legitimacy of it is driving me nuts so I also feel the need to say that you can follow anyone on here regardless of whether you’ve interacted with them or not. People like the above mentioned blog are exceptions. Perhaps they themselves think they aren’t and therefore will act like they aren’t, but they are, trust me.
Just follow anyone you wanna follow. The worst thing that can happen is maybe getting soft-blocked by the other person, but if they do soft-block you, then they were never that worth following in the first place.
In a society that values alphas and betas, omegas can often be overlooked. This April 1st, we're placing omegas front and center at AO3. Check our latest news post for details: https://otw-news.org/7ehh7trb
Fighting against oppression no matter what form it takes, be it a corrupt king, rival pirates, or a system of government that controls the whole world
The only way to make a change when stuck in a situation that's actively taking away your freedom and rights is by force
Racism and discrimination are complicated issues that cannot be solved over night, it takes a combined effort to reach an understanding and to change people's views, and even if you can't let go of your own hatred because of the horrible things you've experienced, you shouldn't pass that hatred onto the next generation and instead allow them to form their own opinions through their own lived experiences
Freedom and liberation are basic human rights
Everyone, no matter who they are, should have access to food and water
Healthcare should be readily available to anyone who needs it
It's incredibly important to not only learn, but understand and preserve history, because those who seek power will go out of their way to destroy inconvenient information, erasing the stories of those who no longer have a voice, dooming society into forever repeating the same mistakes without ever learning from them
Children shouldn't suffer because of the actions of their parents
So, the other day, when I was discussing AO3's policy on solicitation, a tumblr user came at me saying that AO3's "no monetization/solicitation" rules were "bullshit" because nexus mods allows fan created mods to get paid.
Look at me.
Look at me right now.
AO3 protects you.
AO3 protects you and your works.
It protects your works from copyright strikes and DCMA takedowns.
It protects your work from advertisers.
It protects your work from overzealous legal challenges.
It protects your right to post adult content.
AO3 is non-profit and AO3 will never try to use you or your work to make a profit for themselves and AO3 will go to bat for you if someone tries to legally challenge you or your works.
Mastercard has no reason to mess with AO3. Visa doesn't. PayPal doesn't. Stripe doesn't. There's no compensation-for-porn exchange happening. By design. BY DESIGN.
AO3's founders knew that AO3 needed to be set up to protect us from any and all avenues of attack on fanworks. They've managed it quite successfully.
All y'all who thought they didn't need to? Sit the fuck down and SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Hey someone suggested I use ChatGPT to figure out adulting today, and as I was going through the mental list of places I'd rather look, I realized "beloved strangers on Tumblr dot net" was on that list.
So if you have an aspect of adulting that you're really good at-taxes, budgeting, cooking, insurance, credit, time management, house upkeep, anything-please feel free to reblog with any tips.
