Sinedenian organic cave

Descending a steep slope, a pair of Skritniks stumble upon an open plant cave in the upper layers of foam grass. A musty, slightly sweet, putrid-smelling air slowly emanates from inside the cave, attracting their attention. These omnivorous varmints (family negadiadae) are not averse to feasting on a scattering of parasitic plants on the walls and floor of the cave; not many animals are able to digest such parasites, whose bodies are saturated with putrefactive poisons, but some especially aportunistic species, such as skritniks, are adapted to feeding on even such a desperate snack. Despite their poisons and hard shell, the bodies of paraphytes are rich in sugars and other delicacies so desired by hungry pranksters. But they still explore the area with caution before entering the cave, which may harbor dangers far greater than indigestion.

stop censoring yourself it makes it impossible to block posts. I don't want to see a whole post about child pornography because you chose to write "p*rn" instead of calling it what it is. pretty ironic that you hate on ao3 so much even though it has a robust tag blocking system that prevents you from seeing content you don't want to, but you dont tag your posts, so i have to look at them no matter how triggering they are for me. thank you for that.

i know this is in reference to a post i made some time ago that has since been periodically reposted and recirculated repeatedly in bursts separate from the context of when i made it, and it isn't something i thought would be spread far from my own space.

while i do apologize for causing you stress as people apparently reblog chained it to you with equally blank tags, the post wasn't about any specific site and instead a criticism of the broader issue across the internet and multiple social medias, including this one.

i censor words like that out of habit for bot prevention, and figured it wouldn't get further than my usual circle of people who watch me chat about things.

every time that post circulates, i get an influx of people who say things like that i deserved to be abused, that i am making shit up, that my lived traumatic experiences are fit to be some voyeur's fantasy, and it does suck when this happens.

i could lock the post to reblogs, but it has also been pasted on other sites. the irony here that my very post exclaiming my frustration with people ignoring the boundaries i have has continually resulted in people ignoring my boundaries is not lost on me. that it crossed yours is also ironic.

i have other things going on in my life at the moment that aren't pleasant either, my main sentiment right now i guess is "i hope things get better"

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

like i am "fortunate" insofar as not being in an immediate situation where people are rationalizing exploding sheltering children into bits and to have a gender identity that is None which prevents people from retaliating strongly against me when i already don't feel strongly about it and you can't misgender someone whose pronouns are "whatever dude" (which pales in comparison to the daunting nightmare that is people rationalizing exploding entire sheltering displaced families into smithereens)

the problems i do have (longstanding unattended health issues, surgery included, not especially stable housing) are still very much present and quietly compounded by me witnessing friends and neighbors also struggle more and more. i may not be in immediate danger but many people i've known are and in my compassion for them i sit on a precipice and im witnessing others in similar positions getting shoved abruptly and unceremoniously into the ether

i care! a lot! about a lot of things! so, im not doing particularly good!

Hey, are you good?

not particularly!

A comic I made a year back when I still played genshin :,,) The only thing that’s gonna make me come back is if they release rhinedottir or any hexen member OR drop major abyss lore 😭

These old hag of ladies are all the emotional connection I have left IF THEY MESS IT UP AND MAKE THEM LOOK 19 OR GIVE THEM INCOMPRESSIBLE CHARACTERISATION ISTG

my piece from a while ago for the 13 Days Advent, a halloween-themed advent calendar

The night of the fire we had caught the thing worming its way out of the well, crude oil spilling from those screaming, wretched jaws like liquid gold.

Bunch of people have said this in a bunch of more eloquent ways but. Its becoming more and more clear that with the rise of automation in the arts, including television and gaming, those at the top literally just want to sell you product, not story. They don't want to share something apart of themselves with you, they just want to sell to you.

If you enjoy Lies of P, I really recommend Bloodborne if you haven't played it yet!

i've actually played a good chunk of bloodborne before! made it a ways in before being distracted by nier automata i think... i have since tried to play it again but i think it doesn't like being on a newer console and i struggled to have as nice a time on it. memories of having to grind for heals also caught up to me, ow.

with lies of p im already midway thru new game+2 and haven't lost any momentum... the lack of a need to grind i think is a huge boon to it!

i've struggled to make any progress in elden ring and yet here i am bulldozing my way through new game+ on lies of p because i learned i forgot to check out the epilogue and am determined to get All of the Plot
