it’s kind of deeply depressing that there exists this entire vast subculture of progressive-learning 15-19 year olds online who are legitimately filled with anxiety over their media consumption diet and closely monitor themselves and others to make sure nothing they consume is Problematic™ lest they be ousted from their social circles. at the exact age where it’s actually good to have a varied media diet and be able to critically engage with harmful elements, too

straight up if you are high school or early university aged and you’re spending time feeling significant guilt and anxiety about what you choose to read or watch because of your online peers and shaping your media diet based on fear, you do not have to be around those peers anymore. there is a vast world outside this kind of person

My art got stolen, edited and used for commercial purposes

This store claims to be "official" Grian merch shop and oH BOI they are clearly not. The amount of stolen art on this store is simply owherwhelming. This is just an example.

They took my art, made 5 designs and slapped it on everything they could mass produce, resulting in more than 55 merchandise pieces with art they have no right on. And I am not even counting Grian Official (like TRUE OFFICIAL) mech, and some other artist I don't know, but clearly they haven't given their consent to this. Examples below.

Official Grian merch that was limited edition btw:

Artist I don't know, please help me find them:

This one is by TheElliPelli on twitter, here is the link

And if you think that i was kidding about erased signature... HA

I already contacted them, and asked to take down absolutely everything that includes my art, and also I emailed Grian himself, i don't know does he bother or not, but worth a try.

PLEASE SPREAD THIS POST

Thank you all uwu

but no yeah lets have the conversation:

"the CEO doesnt want to run that kind of website" Excuse, shouldnt have bought the 'go nuts show nuts whatever' website if thats the case. APPEAL DENIED

"we have to follow the TOS of the appstores we're hosted on" Excuse item one, no you dont, item two, you have since those days implimented infrastructure that would allow pornography and sex work on this platform Without violating TOS of any applicable app store. APPEAL DENIED

"we own the site we get to make the rules" Incorrect, this site has only ever made profit when the users willed it. we collectively own the site as a hive mind and no legal change in ownership will change that. APPEAL DENIED

"we have to keep this website safe for the children who use it" Argument based on fallacy banning pornography and sex workers does not prevent pornography and sex work from occuring on the site, it only forces aforementioned users to hide and avoid labling their content appropriately, which REDUCES the safety for children and sex workers alike instead of increasing it, this has been shown to the point that making this argument at all is tantamount to admiting fascist intent APPEAL DENIED

Reblog it. I want this to be on Tumblr radar by end of the week, i want my notes to be useless from the discourse, i want every single person on Tumblr to have seen this post at some point

Today, I would like to commemorate an event which has laid a very profound impact on the internet.

Ten years ago on this day (06/08/09), a forum website called SomethingAwful held a photoshop contest titled “create paranormal images”.  The contest would require participants to edit ordinary photographs into creepy-looking images, and then try to pass them off as authentic photos on other paranormal forums.

Two days later, on June 10th, a user by the name Victor Surge would find this thread, and become inspired.  He submitted the two pictures above, featuring a tall, faceless monster which would stalk children, who would then disappear.  He called his monster “the Slender Man”. After this initial post, Surge and others would expand on the character and the story, creating one of the internet’s most famous monsters.  The Slender Man proved to be popular enough to spread to other websites, with 4chan, Deviantart, and TV Tropes all having their own Slender-Mania. On June 20th of that same year, another user on the SomethingAwful forums found the Slender Man, and also wanted to contribute.  Noticing nobody had made any videos yet of the monster, he sat down with some of his friends and planned out a video webseries involving a former college film student discovering and unravelling the mysteries surrounding Slender Man; this would become Marble Hornets, one of the first horror-themed ARG’s of the internet.

That all happened ten years ago.  Ten years of haunting the darkest corners of the internet, and Slender Man has built up a surprisingly dense resume, for a fictional monster.  Several popular webseries, a couple hit games, at least two movies, even inspiring other characters in seperate series like the Silence in Dr Who and the Enderman in Minecraft.  And all this within a ten-year period.

I think this just attests to how much humans can be inspired by an idea.  From a small handful of edited photographs, we collectively constructed a new monster which lurks in our nightmares, and now it almost seems as natural as the horror mythos he was based on.  For better or worse, the Slender Man seems to be here to stay. Happy Birthday, Slendy!  Here’s to hoping you continue to be both terrifying and terrific!

soo uhmmm does anyone know of a post that describes the hermit’s personalities or how they’re typically described in fanfics??? i plan on making a long-ish au with most (if not all) of the hermits. but i don’t have the time or attention span to watch kore than like 2 hermits

Don't worry! A lot of hermitcraft fanfic authors also don't know their personalities! Every single female hermit is the mom friend, while male hermits are defined by their fanon lore more than any personality they actually have!

Okay, but seriously, I can help out with a few.

BDubs: Gets very attached to specific people, varying by season. Talks them up, as well as himself, to the point of obvious exaggeration. Self-described horse girl and etho fan.

Cub: Does things because he thinks they're fun. His idea of fun is causing chaos, ranging from small things (building a secret tunnel into someone's pool) to big things (placing down three thousand sculk catalysts underground). Willing to dedicate many hours to random pranks. Goes along with things just because he wants to cause more chaos

Doc: Cartoon supervillain. Likes showing off cool stuff to others and helping people. If he is challenged will immediately escalate into outright war crimes, but he can be defeated with the power of friendship, cute things, or trading card games.

Etho: Very socially awkward.

False: From the outside, a cool badass. From the inside, perpetually just a tiny bit lost and confused, and a wet cat.

Gem: A pest. The sort of person to wake you up at four in the morning to go have a swordfight. Also the sort of person to win that swordfight.

Grian: Doesn't pay attention. Tries to cause problems, and frequently experiences the consequences of his own actions. Tries to get out of those consequences and causes himself bigger problems.

Impulse: Seems like the dad friend outwardly. Does not forgive or forget until he gets revenge.

Jevin: Likes to profiteer off other people's conflicts. Can tell when people are misleading him. Isn't scared of anyone.

Joe: Just a Guy. Very normal person, to the point of being weird. Enjoys malicious compliance, and interpreting things in the funniest possible way. (Think Amelia Bedelia if you know what that is)

Keralis: Makes dirty jokes. Likes helping people. Pretends to be either the best in the world or just a little guy depending on what benefits him - can switch mid-sentence from "I'm the best" to "Please help me".

Mumbo: Self-described "spoon". Does things because he thinks they'd be fun without often thinking through the consequences. Likes winding up Grian specifically. Often makes up competitions for other hermits.

Pearl: Gremlin. Is the sort of person to ask "are we there yet" every ten minutes while riding a car. Doesn't like it when things are messy.

Ren: Plays characters. Very dramatic. Would rather work himself to the bone than ask for help.

Scar: May scam people, but also enjoys giving people gifts.

Stress: Part mom friend, part pest. Can and will say the dirtiest things.

Tango: Very overdramatic. Enjoys making silly stuff. Will make entire games inside of survival minecraft. Sounds almost perpetually excited on-camera.

Beef: Gets focused on his projects. Can run a mafia if he wants to.

xB: Likes messing with people just a little bit. Enjoys playing minigames.

Xisuma: Absent-minded. Mostly concerned with his own stuff. When the moon fell on the server, he was mostly happy that everyone forgot about the scam he was running for the prior five months.

Zedaph: Comes up with the most convoluted way to do something. People for him are just test subjects, himself included.

Cleo: Will lie to and scam people if it would be funny. Knows when she is being lied to or when someone is trying to scam her, and doesn't let them. Has a scary reputation - if someone sees through it, she admits that she's actually not very good at a lot of things, which itself hides how she's above-average when it comes to many different things. People either over- or under-estimate her.

We stan!!!!

chaotic good

There’s a happy ending to, because the robbery was unsuccessful, the couple ended up getting the money Eden needed from a movie inspired by em! Also John only had to serve part of his sentence. Check out their wedding photos btw they’re beautiful.

reblogging because I’ve seen this post a thousand times and I’ve never seen the happy ending!! 

Everyone go watch Dog Day Afternoon please please please it’s the movie mentioned in this thread it’s Sidney Lumet’s best imo and Al Pacino plays John and he is heartbreakingly good in it.

Not only have we always existed, but there have always been people who loved us. Never forget that.

and those people who love us are fuckin RAD!!!!!!
