My three children and their mother are living in Gaza between hunger, bullets, and the unbearable summer heat inside a tent that cannot protect them.

They do not have enough food or clothes, and fear follows them every night.

Please help with even €10 or €20, or share their story and ask your friends to help.

Consider them as part of your family before it's too late.

first proper skybound thought in months but every now and again i'm reminded how messed up Nadakhan's crew is. his entire thing is that he ruins lives and forces then to join him. We have no idea why Flintlock is there so can't say much. monkeywretch being the best of his kind is the sickest burn possible. and dabloon got the face of what he stole as punishment, to be as two sided as a coin.

But Dogshank's story just kinda sucks the most. she was a normal person who was tired of always being second place so she just wanted to stand out for once. and in return for her nieve wish she is turned into a monster so ugly she covers her face everyday. she has basically no choice but to join a band of rejects and misfist because literally no one else would want her.

genuinely so surprised she isn't seething at the sight of him everyday.

I actually wonder how many more have been wronged and still decided to join the crew. like surely there was an appeal in the treasure hunting and raiding. like they all enjoyed being pirates. but why would they continue to work for this man in particular.

It's honestly wild, isn't it? At this point, I'm more curious about who joined the crew purely of their own volition AND STAYED. We already know most of them only do so because Nadakhan purposefully gave them abilities so specific they'd only be useful for working under him - Cyren comes to mind here, because her assorted canon blurbs mention that she can't use the singing-people-into-trances ability to do what she actually wanted the singing talent for - or, in Dogshank's case, so thoroughly messed up that she wouldn't be able to fit in elsewhere.

As much as I don't generally count the Tall Tales as canon (ELECTRIC DRILL), I do have to give them credit for mostly aligning with the stories Clancee tells Jay in e60. And they are tall tales, so some embellishment is warranted. Either way, since Nadakhan clearly granted these wishes while building his crew, both sets of stories combined very clearly give us what Nadakhan sees in them and exploits on his own terms to get those specific skillsets:

Monkey Wretch - they're pirates, they'll need a ship and continuous maintenance, 'nuff said. (I'm still not sure why that required primate body horror, but then again, might simply be another case of Dogshank: who else is going to hire them?)

Doubloon - two-faced jerk who is unfortunately really truly terrific at stealing, which is a classically useful pirate trait, but loyalty (and, in Tall Tales, ability to shut up) isn't assured. Keep the two-facedness in a way that serves to overly simplify his emotions and keep him more manageable and unable to talk back or plot against him, and now Nadakhan's got the perfect combat/stealth theivery grunt.

Dogshank - almost TOO literal in the malicious compliance here, but that really shows where Nadakhan's priorities lie. There are a million ways he could have made her stand out that didn't require doing all of THAT, but he picks one that contradicts what she's actually after and is *air quotes* COINCIDENTALLY a way to ensure she can't keep her previous lifestyle (whether that's Tall Tales athletics or the very vaguely canon implied debutante/socialite career, and that's only based on Clancee's ball line, so WHO KNOWS). He then steers her into joining the crew as their enforcer/muscle, because again, where else is That going to be useful and accepted? This is a little like if I wished I were better at using a julienne slicer and then had both my arms turned into julienne slicers. First off, NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR, and second, I'd be basically locked into a life in the culinary arts - at least until I managed to make enough money to pay for Normal Arm Surgery, and that would take so long it might just be easier to resign myself to a life of ratatouille prep.

Clancee - interesting case here in that he doesn't make any wishes and does in fact join just for fun, but I'm pretty sure that easily-spooked personality shows up early and often, and he inadvertently becomes a reserve wishing well. At that point, Nadakhan does explicitly use those wishes for his own benefit (neat how that coincides with his late-season mask slip!), and only then does Clancee manage a buzzer-beater reveal that he's never liked the way Nadakhan treats people. Me and you both, pal.

Flintlocke - REALLY weird case here because we don't know for sure what wishes he made, but we know he did run out before s6 (he makes a comment to Nadakhan that he wishes the crew had more hands and nobody sprouts more arms), plus I'm fairly certain the gun ability is something Flintlocke cultivated for himself based on how he brags about it. It's also the first thing Nadakhan moves to destroy when he needs to humiliate Flintlocke back into line, and I don't think that's something that would happen if Nadakhan purposefully installed that for his own benefit. It's also not a skill that's locked to piracy - there are ways Flintlocke could take that elsewhere and flourish - so either that's not the result of a wish... or it was, but only to lull Flintlocke into enough of a sense of loyalty and gratitude to take up the first mate role. Bizarre, devastating implications all around.

Squiffy and Bucko: neither of them seem very suited to life on the Keep, but we never get to see if Nadakhan sculpts that into them, so that makes sense. They're probably also heading down the Clancee-wishing-well path without knowing it...

In conclusion: I'm looking at these poor guys like this and I am FASCINATED.

It all says so much about everyone and it makes me want to eat shoelaces. And that it all develops into that twisted form of loyalty they've all convinced themselves is real. Especially after Clancee's line about Nadakhan bringing them all together and making them whole? SCREAM. YOU'VE BEEN PLAYED LIKE KAZOOS.

Frankly, Soto's crew probably came out on top because they were all in it for the love of the game and not paralyzed by some overly specific skills and a fear of their boss.

There is an actual video of Flintlocke's tall tales

I'm not sure if I'm seeing things, but I believe Nadakhan was the one attacking Flintlocke's ship and cornered him until Flintlocke was in Nadakhan's ship.

Another one, but my favourite candle!! ^_^

What an ugly ass candle

[fishymom-art]

we've got a new kind of scam!

Here's how you can tell that it is indeed a scam:

A brand new account with nothing on it. No reblogs, no posts OR a one or two of them made in the last couple of days.

Mistakes such as punctuation, easy grammar, etc.

SCARING YOU!

Here's notes about the e-mail:

On the e-mail, the account the fake email came to is addressed to a person with a different handle than the one who sent me the message.

A support member/agent isn't someone you need to add per Discord. They reach out first and ALWAYS per e-mail. If someone says that they are a support member, but contact you per DMs, Discord, etc. THIS IS A SCAMMER.

That's in general NOT what e-mails from Tumblr/Tumblr Support look like. In fact YOU DON'T EVEN GET AN E-MAIL ABOUT REPORTING/BLOCKING SOMEONE ON TUMBLR. They do not state the US Code, they do not ask you to contact the person you reported (because that's very silly),

Usually Scammers like that want you to be scared. Account suspension, prison time, IP address ban, etc. Contact real support in case it bothers you, but otherwise this is very unlikely to happen.

HOPE THIS HELPS! STAY SAFE, PEOPLE!

Hi moots,

I’m sorry to say that my mutual @mondothebombo has either been hacked or is willingly trying to scam people. They messaged me saying they had accidentally gotten me mass reported, and the only way for me to stop my account from being banned was to message tumblr support on discord. It’s worth noting that I received nothing directly from tumblr, and that they will never contact you or ask you to contact them outside of Tumblr and email.

The discord account was pretending to be Ari Levine, who works in revenue & partnerships at Tumblr, not support. When I asked them for any proof of working for Tumblr, they were unable to provide it. I looked the situation up, and found that similar scams have been happening for the past few weeks. I asked @mondothebombo about it, and they immediately blocked me.

Tl;dr tumblr will never ask you to contact them on discord or any other channels, if you receive any messages from @mondothebombi don’t respond, stay safe out there

How scammers impersonate social media workers to steal from you

Earlier this week, my friend fell for an online scam. My friend isn't new to the internet; in fact, they're chronically online, so how'd she

[nicolloyd]

got something similar and am glad that i was right 😭 thank you op

and i dont think its willingly!! copy and pasted the exact text onto google and there was a different tumblr user commenting word for word this exact sentence

[cboffshore]

Signal boosting this - I've never been mutuals with this particular user, but I know they're a decently prominent face on the Ninjago Tumblr scene. Also, I did have another mutual get hit with this scam a few weeks back. BE CAREFUL OUT THERE.
