Fundraiser masterpost

This is a masterpost for the evacuation fundraisers I've vetted so far, a few other fundraisers I find trustworthy but have not been able to vet (inability to communicate with the organizer), and a few semi-completed fundraisers or fundraisers for a different purpose (like house rebuilding, or aid distribution). The numbers next to the names have no significance beyond ease of navigation for me for when I check their progress in the future. You should look at the disclaimers instead and focus on those. Occasionally I will update these with new info, including new fundraisers, and the amount of cash that's been raised. Check in regularly on the original post when you see it being reblogged. In all likelihood once its reached you it's already outdated. Also please don't overlook the Sustainable Aid options near the bottom! The brain drain is already creating problems but having another way of keeping or creating new knowledge and key members of a functioning society is important.

Fortune Lover: A Maiden's Heart (Lost Souls AU)

A Fortune Lover Yuri/GL Spin-off

Main Character: Sterling

Capture targets: Vivian, Felicia, Hayden

Side characters: Emery, Geordo, Maria

In the northern part of Sorcier, Lousabre, there is a royal academy at the kingdom. A new student named Sterling entered there, and the rumor has it that she has a rare magic. This caught a lot of attention, especially nobles who attended there.

Protagonist

Sterling Lowell

A commoner student at the Royal Academy

A loner, but she's actually gentle and kind

Magical element is light but hides it

Someone is looking for them

Capture targets

Vivian Nolan

The daughter of Duke Nolan

She plays the ‘genki girl’ archetype

Childhood friends with Felicia

Magical element is fire

Felicia Davis

The daughter of Marquess Davis

She plays the 'aloof dark-haired girl'

Does not trust Sterling at first but eventually likes her

Magical element is water

Hayden Gray

The daughter of Earl Gray

She plays the ‘princely ikemen onee-san’ archetype

Popular with girls, but Sterling caught her the most attention

Magical element is wind

Butterfly effect: Sterling was intended to be the main protagonist for Maiden's heart, but since Katarina is not the villainess for FL anymore, it alters Sterling’s past and turned her into an antagonist.

Notes:

- I headcanon that Lousabre is based on Norway, Sweden, and England (and maybe Belgium). I'd like to think that they have some viking influence.

- Maria and Sterling are related in a way. I'm still not sure if I should make them distant relatives or not.

- Hayden is based on Kaoru Seta from Bang Dream and Manaria Sousse from I'm in love with the villainess

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.

Misogyny is not an inherent biological feature in men. It’s a societal ill that men are taught and socially rewarded for perpetuating. Spreading the idea that misogyny is biological is a really defeatist way of looking at things because leads to people thinking that women being harassed and attacked and murdered is just the natural order of things and not something that we can push back against and change and eradicate.

Since Katarina was originally supposed to be a villainess but turned herself accidentally into a heroine

what if

Sterling was supposed to be a heroine but turned into a villainess

Like there's some kind of a butterfly effect to another character when Katarina is not a villainess anymore

But the truth is, I want to say it out loud,
