A - Acrobatics H - Horny N - Nature R - Random Ryder*

for Dagger *listen, I'm getting my shit together here now asking bc this is on my mind for quite a while, so I use this given lifetime opportunity rn and going to be bold about that (even asking publicly — jeez, so not me), but yes — I wanna know if Dagger would consider spending some time with him or not. uwu vanishes into air

A - Acrobatics - How bendy can they get in bed? What is their favourite position? Dagger is very flexible in general, its pretty likely that he can just about figure into any position and he has no problem trying things out. That being said, he usually prefers something that gives him control, and he'll maneuver/manhandle his partner to his liking. We'll say..he likes easy access, and most of the time he's not looking for anything tender or intimate, so he often prefers his partners from behind, vulnerable and at his mercy. Though there are times that he likes them on top, to watch them unravel, and if they're special enough to him, allowing them to bite/mark/taste him too.

H - Horny - How easily aroused that person is, and what drives them crazy?

It can be pretty easy tbh and he's not one to ignore or push those urges back in the least. He's got some strange triggers and kinks and a mind unrestrained and in the gutter. Fighting is a good way to do it for him. Pain and blood specifically, he really gets off on that. Sometimes it's as easy as a lingering teasing glance that holds his attention and though it's not something he'd admit to, he can get jealous easily which also leads to him wanting somebody even more. He also likes people who don't fit in (often unapologetically). That alone will catch his eye and draw him closer.

N - Nature - Have they ever thought about having sex outside, or doing other inappropriate things there?  Dagger basically lives outside, so this is actually pretty standard and natural for him. He's used to sneaking around nomad camps or just having no roof over his head in general, its never been a question for him. He doesn't really mind being around other people when he does either, and often times won't even try to be sneaky about it anymore. This is just a facet of being around in his space. He has no shame really.

R - Random - RYDER

Oh he would definitely be okay with that UwU Maybe they happen to be in the same bar, how could he not buy the pretty dude in all black a drink? UwU Some light conversation and maybe they argue about music and who knows where the night goes UwU

#thank you!!! <3 #oc: dagger #nsft #i got your other message but i dunno if tumblr sent the reply i don't trust them sometimes v.v #anyway yes dagger and ryder would be a good duo hehe #firstly the accents together...southern and german (im assuming ry has a german accent???i always imagined that but i dont actually know) #i say argue abt music bc i know he likes raves n dagger is more of the type to find the worst crappiest bar with the messiest punk band #kind of music #but he'd like ryder for sure

[vogelmeister]

common act 2 L

#im so deranged tbh that act two is becoming impossible to write #just write is becoming awful advice tbh #okay firstly its way too long and a lot happens #it actually covers a month of time #because it goes from the party scene where dirk-jan gets the text and ends roughly the day before the tuesday night which is one month #so act two is hideously long because it covers one month of time and in that time a lot happens #and i could change the ending scene and move it a bit later but that ruins the cliffhanger and i like the fact that act 1 ends with the tex #because at that point its not revealed until act two that anne-fleur was Not the one who sent the text and it was kim pretending to be a-f #which gets revealed pre quickly in act 2 anyhow but its a nice leaving point #so like i can do that but will i? nee. unless i can find a better ending for act 1 #and then i was like oh yeah lol we can remove the phone thing but i think it reveals something important about a-f #bc deep down she knows it was not her that sent that message. yet she still goes for it. #she still is like 'hmm yes lets see if belgium changed our chemistry" while dating merel. oft #ALSO i was worried that a-f would be too likeable bc her motivations are decent but i realised she still betrays merel and cheats on her #and thats unforgivable #anyways yeah act 2 is niet een slay and i just can't because theres so much i want to explore with it #we should all be like act 3. nice. gets to the goddam point. #idk fam #dutch language found dead

Yea rinrin I'm fine 🗿 Thanks for asking TT I don't really get hangover when it comes to alcohol, the worst that can happen is just me being nauseous and my tummy hurting, which I battled yesterday so we good! I wasn't wasted or anything, when I drink I just get really expressive, talkative and think it is the funniest thing in the world...

My grandma actually has a cat that reminds me of Kaiser a little bit! When he sees us he just flops down on his back and demands pets. He is such an attention seeker he will follow us when he is not satsified with our petting service. He is also really freaking big for a cat, especially considering his mother is lithe and smallish. Two years ago during our Christmas Eve he was at the window watching us (which he does every day to enjoy my grandparents presence even when they are eating and stuff like that) and we opened the window for him. He got treated like an emperor - sat in my lap being fed fish and still wanting to steal more from the table.

- 🗿

anon are you sure that isn't actually mihya? ◉_◉

and beside the ask,, don't you think it'd be adorable to adopt a cat with kaiser? not just any ordinary cat but the cat that you just described, one that is exactly like him. it'd be like having two chubby mischievous babies fighting for your attention. the difference is: one hisses the other glares.

#i will be writing about this #anon stop it u keep giving me ideas which i have no time to write for #stop it (dont. dont ever stop. i beg) #and in response to you never getting a hangover: thats... actually so cool #and yes u were very silly yesterday i ADORED the ask you sent KSKKSKS #— ; messages to rin #— ; 🗿 anon #— ; favs

Begrudgingly trying to look for a new phone because my current one (which I’ve had for 8 years) is having some issues but like......hhh.. Every person I know who has a newer phone like.. theirs SUCKS lol.. you can’t take the back off/battery out, some you can’t even change out the microSD because apparently they expect you to just use evil ~~cloud storage~~ or whatever nonsense, they come with so many apps built in which you can disable but not fully delete (wasting space on the phone), can’t control when updates happen, one of my friend’s has to be connected to the internet just to get voicemails??? like having to be connected to wifi or mobile data just for some BASIC functionalities is insane (I prefer to keep my internet disabled at all times unless using it, hate the idea of just being internet connected constantly in the background and having all these apps sending and receiving data and giving dumbass notifications when I’m not even actively using them), SOME of them don’t even have a built-in GENERIC notes app or media player (like I’m just supposed to download spotify instead of using my collection of youtube to mp3 files?? lmao) or photo viewer (I know someone who doesn’t have a generic ‘photos’ app, just “Google Photos’ which prompts them to make an account and login every time they open the wretched thing), etc. etc. etc. 

Genuinely, if it weren’t for my need to be able to use the internet to map and check bus directions/look up things on the go when needed, organize/transport files, and take photos on a whim when I may not have my camera with me - I would legit just get one of those basic non-smart phones where you can only text and make calls lol ... alas... ToT

#like i just hate simplification i hate everything being online i hate making accounts i hate cloud storage #i hate not having full control and customization of my experience i hate being forced to be connected #to the internet i hate siri or ok google or whatever the hell i hate being sent random notifications #i didnt ask for because the phone updated by itself and downloaded or enabled some shit i never wanted on there #i hate doing anything on a mobile device and everything being an app when desktop useage is so superior and so much easier #to process and do things that way and jthat i cant even open the back if i want to or change out sim cards like you used #to be able to or all this extremely easy and perfectly normal stuff that USED TO BE a function forever but it's like choice is gradually #being removed... w h y #Its the same thing with websites being oversimplified like WHY take away options and functionality to 'streamline' things and make them #more 'mobile friendly' when previously there has been both a mobile and a desktop version of websites for a long time?? #what is the problem with having MORE choice? if people dont WANT to utilize the extra options and functionality then allow them #to choose to simplify things #but if people WANT increased choice and customization then the options are still present #what if i WANT a more detailed complicated ~difficult to navigate~ view of a website?? what if i want to send 45 paragraphs #of text instead of short quick messages and emojis chat style where pressing enter sends a message instead of just doing a line break #etc. etc. which yes now I'm getting away from the topic of mobile phones and just speaking in general lol but its like #I just feel frustrated that everywhere I go it seems like things I used to be able to do which were USEFUL and functional - now the option #is gone or limited or made worse. And it's not just being afraid of change like some new things are fine when they make an experience #BETTER and actually HELP but like what the hell is helpful about having 4GB of my total 8GB built in storage #taken up by pre-installed apps that I literally cannot delete and that is space I will never use.. ??? and some of the other #changes it's like.... ok?? and for WHAT?? lol #AND i know like.. you can hack your phone and make your own changes to it and stuff but I shouldnt have to do that!!! #it should be EASY to customize and have it function however I WANT it's literally something I'm PAYING for..!! #and that cloud storage shit I do not care HOW the world changes you are never going to talk me into storing important stuff on some #fucking server somewhere that I don't have control over. same thing with live service or online fucntioning video games. I will find every #possible work around to keep 'physical' copies of anything that is actually important to me. 2087 in the word war 5 google amazon #fire world wasteland I'm still going to be clinging to my little usb stick in an undergound tunnel listening to 70 yr old mp3s #and playing downloaded copies of games that are mine that i payed for and own and can play however whenever i like lol #ANYWAY .. hggh.........maybe I can find a good 2018 or 2019 phone on ebay instead of buying a new one in store #would still be an upgarde technically since mine is from 2014 lol

frill fell back asleep but i didnt yet so im just thinking about how if this website and app wasnt actively falling apart at the seams as it does i dont know when or if frill and i wouldve ever made that first move on the other. and now we're ENGAGED

#thank you tumblr you awful awful website #we both reblogged a valentines day themed ask game and frill sent me the do you have a crush on anyone question (and yes. i did) #so i wanted to send it back but i didnt want them to know it was ME that woyld be too suspicious. #so i sent it on anon instead. and frills notifs glitched at one point and for half a second displayed a random fucking url #hard to explain but it happened to me also at some point so i knew what they were talking about when they mentioned it #and i was like actually..... that was me that sent that i dont know ehat tumblr was doing there #and then that night frill sent me a message with both our answers of 'yes i have a crush on someone' and was like. hey. are we being stupid #and we WERE we were both referring to each other.. but if tumblr never got me to admit i was the anon who knows if we wouldve ever realized #i genuinely owe this shitty website my life. everything is so different and ive never been happier or in a better place #ispent so long thinking about this and writing this post its now FIVE am and my tummy doesnt hurt anymore #if you'll excuse me i am going to go cuddle the shit out of my fiancee now (gently so i dont wake them up)

doing research for my final unit in english class and i have 3 sources cited already :D !

#EXPLAINATION IN THE TAGS #LONG RAMBLE #i havent written my essay yet and my debate is tomorrow but i have been doing my notes and research today and the information #that i have on there so far is from these reliable sources #but the bottom two are cited there because i have 2 quotes from separate friends that im going to include and like. ik that you always #give the source of a quote in the actual writing BUT i figure since they arent just being quoted--the quotes are being used as a #reliable source of information--i ought to cite the quotes as informational sources as well! so onto the source doc they go #i have yet to put my mla sources in alphabetical order but i will do that once i have other (more legit) sources in here as well #(tbf polygon should count as a reliable source in this case bc theyre a well established source of video game journalism!) #the green one is a friend in class saying ''shadow the hedgehog listens to limp bizkit but in the trans way not in the incel way'' #and the pink one is a friend messaging me ''shadow and sonic are also autism and adhd boyfriends'' in conversation #i did ask both of these people if i could quote them in my thing / cite them as a source and they both consented to it #there is an official MLA citation for messages sent digitally but the conversation one i just based off of how youre supposed to #format personal interviews bc like. close enough #yes i put genuine research into just being able to cite my friends as reliable sources of information for this class #i hate this class for various brain reasons and like i dont hate the teacher but im still very much making this final unit a sort of #''im not trapped in here with you. youre trapped in here with me'' situation because my whole thing is going to be so much bullshit #but like. bullshit that is genuinely well researched for the most part

[pandoratheprocrasticreator]

not to be a smug asshole but its kind of rich how if you say you dont like a thing on the internet everyone who likes that thing automatically assumes you just “don’t get it” and tries to explain to you why the thing is Good, Actually. like maybe i already understand why people like the thing. maybe i have reasons to not like the thing that YOU are refusing to entertain. maybe i used to like the thing because of the specific reasons that you’re writing essays to me about. but then i realized that the thing sucks shit and the reasons why people like it isn’t enough to make it good for me again. maybe my dislike of the thing isn’t because im a stupid idiot who couldn’t put two thoughts together to realize why the thing is good. and maybe i feel belittled and dare i say offended when 12 people condescendingly explain to me why it’s okay that i don’t like the thing, but also refuse to stop explaining the same 2 reasons why THEY like the thing, or even let me defend why i dislike the thing, until i agree with them that the thing is good. all because i dared to express mild disdain on the internet

#shut up pandora #i don't care if people like things i dislike and tell me so but some of yall act like proselytizing christians about it #a while ago i had someone write an essay on a post talking about why a ship i dont like is totally canon guys theyre totally in love #and the ship in questions has not had any conversations in 10 episodes which was why i disliked it #but the argument for it boiled down to 'why does this ship between two main characters HAVE to have any significant onscreen development' #'why cant we just build up this ship based on longing looks like the TJLC ppl. its impossible for you to think thats bad writing' #anyway we ended up dming and i tried to clarify that i dont think its well written to build up a relationship on 'subtle glances' #without having them actually interact with each other. at least not a heavily focused on endgame couple involving main characters #at the end of the very frustrating conversation where they just repeated the 'subtle hints' thing over and over again condescendingly #it turns out they thought i agreed to the conversation bc i wanted them to convince me to like the ship! #so they literally didn't listen to anything i said except to hashtag destroy my points with hashtag facts and hashtag logic #and like. you think i haven't looked at all the 'subtle hints' before this conversation? this is a popular ship and i want to like it! #but i looked at it and thought about it and decided i didn't like it! i even said so on the original post! #the point of the post was 'i dont think having the ship longingly gaze at each other counts as a well written ship if they dont ever talk' #and their 'rebuttal' was 'youre wrong it IS well written! why? well because they longingly gaze at each other' #anyway i was just feeling annoyed about that again #also that time an mlb fan sent me a wholeass wordpress essay on why mlb is Good Actually #after i explained i understand why people like it. i was a fan actually! i just both grew out of it and realized the writing is really bad #so bad in fact that the reasons i liked it werent enough to redeem the show for me and it keeps getting worse #anyway yes im vagueposting about people but messaging strangers to restart a months old argument is more deranged i think #i hope the people who condescendingly hop on a strangers posts to write them essays on why they Dont Get It Actually #uhhhhhhhhhhhhh maybe stop that!

Why do i keep forgetting succubutt is ableist as fuck what the hell......

#Yes same blogger who talks about ableism being bad LITERALLY has sent people some ableist shit #As in messaging people some disgustingly ableist shit and calling actual systems sysmeds (no surprise there) #Also ignores anyone explaining that endos harrass actual systems and acts like an ass when you call them out for their ableist shit #Also was talking about 'narc abuse' until people kept chewing them out #and seems to think reblogging a few npd positive posts and erasing some older posts will magically fix everything #I can point anyone to a couple blogs with evidence if messaged

Artists, let’s talk about Instagram commission scammers

There’s been a huge rise in commission scammers recently, mostly on Instagram. A lot of new artists don’t know what to look out for, so I figured this might help people.

How they begin

Usually the scammer will write to you asking about a commission. Something deceptively cute - mostly I encounter asks about pet portraits, with one or two photos sent. They’ll probably try to sell you a sweet little story, like “It’s for my son’s birthday”. They will insist that they love your artwork and style, even though they don’t follow you or never liked a single piece of your art.

What to look out for:

Their profiles will either be private, empty, or filled with very generic stuff, dating at most a few years back.

Their language will be very simple, rushed or downright bad. They might use weird emojis that nobody ever uses. They will probably send impatient “??” when you don’t answer immediately. They’re in a crunch - lots of people to scam, you know. 

They’ll give you absolutely no guidelines. No hints on style, contents aside from (usually) the pet and often a name written on the artwork, no theme. Anything you draw will be perfect. Full artistic freedom. In reality they don’t really care for this part.

They’ll offer you a ridiculous amount of money. Usually 100 or 300 USD (EDIT: I know it might not be a lot for some work. What I mean here - way higher than your asking price, 100 and 300 are standard rates they give). They’ll often put in a phrase like “I am willing to compensate you financially” and “I want the best you can draw”, peppered with vague praise. It will most likely sound way too good to be true. That’s because it is.

Where the scam actually happens

If you agree, they will ask you for a payment method. They’ll try to get to this part as soon as possible. 

Usually, they’ll insist on PayPal. And not just any PayPal. They’ll always insist on sending you a transfer immediately. None of that PayPal Invoice stuff (although some do have methods for that, too). They’ll really, REALLY want to get your PayPal email address and name for the transfer - that’s what they’re after. If you insist on any other method, they’ll just circle back to the transfer “for easiest method”. If you do provide them with the info, most likely you’ll soon get a scam email. It most likely be a message with a link that will ultimately lead to bleeding you dry. Never, and I mean NEVER click on any emails or links you get from them. It’s like with any other scam emails you can ever get.

A few things can happen here:

They overpay you and ask for the difference to be wired back. Usually it will go to a different account and you’ll never see that money again. 

They’ll overpay you “for shipping costs” and ask you to forward the difference to their shipping company. Just like before, you’ll never see that money again.

The actual owner of the account (yes, they most likely use stolen accounts to wire from) will realize there’s been something sketchy going on and request a refund via official channels. Your account will be charged with fees and/or you get in trouble for fraudulent transactions. 

You will transfer the money from your PayPal credit to your bank account and they will make a shitstorm when they want their money back, making your life a living hell. They will call you a scammer, a thief, make wild claims, wearing you down and forcing you into wiring money “back” - aka to their final destination account. 

Never, EVER wire money to anyone. This is not how it’s supposed to go. Use PayPal Invoice for secure exchanges where the client needs to provide you with their email, not the other way around.

You can find more info on that method HERE.

What to do when you encounter a scammer:

Ask the right questions: inquire about the style, which artwork of yours they like, as much details as you can. They won’t supply you with any good answers.

Don’t let the rush of the exchange, their praise and the promise of insanely good money to get to you. That’s how they operate, that’s how they make you lose vigilance. 

Don’t engage them. As soon as you realize it might be a scam, block them. The sense of urgency they create with their rushed exchange, and pressure they put on you will sooner or later get to you and you might do something that you’ll regret later.

Never wire money to anyone. Never give out your personal data. Never provide your email, name, address or credit card info. 

Don’t be deceived by receiving a payment, if you somehow agree to go along with it. Just because it’s there now doesn’t mean it can’t be withdrawn. 

Here is a very standard example of such an exchange. I realized it’s a scam pretty fast and went along with it, because I wanted good screenshots for you guys, so I tried going very “by the book” with it. 

Please share this post, make it reach as many artists as possible. Let young or inexperienced artists know that this is going on. So many people have no idea that this is a thing. Let’s help each other out. If you think I missed any relevant info, do add it as an rb!

Also, if you know other scam methods that you think should be shared, consider rb-ing this post with them below. Having a master post of scam protection would AWESOME to have in the art community.
