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.

Alastor and Husk confrontation scene from Ep 5

[dewdlebot]

Ngl I’m gonna go against the grain here and say that Lilith isn’t the one holding Alastor’s “leash”

She’s got a deal to help him be rid of it.

Alastor helps Lilith by protecting Charlie and the hotel, and she as the Queen of Hell likely has to power to break deals made by other demons so she frees Alastor from his bonds.

And that’s why he’s pissed at Lucifer, because as he’s more powerful if he steps in and helps then that threaten Alastor’s own position and he won’t be needed, ergo his deal with Lilith will be off

I just can’t see him being so offended by Lucifer and protective of the hotel if Lilith was the one holding his leash.

Thinking about vampirism in D&D again... Considering the tadpole shut down most of the abilities Astarion's just taken for granted for about 200 years, as discussed by him and Shadowheart:

3. Astarion: It's a long time since I was in a house of healing. Gods, it's depressing.

0. Shadowheart: I suppose you don't have much use for hospitals... unless you're seeking to steal their blood stock.

2. Astarion: True, although I don't heal as fast as I used to. The one downside to the tadpole, I suppose.

1. Shadowheart: The one downside? I think you might have stopped the count too soon... End

Well, Astarion is probably used to watching his injuries start closing up the moment he gets them. This whole thing where wounds just stay open, potentially kill you and hurt all day is a new one. I wonder if he worked out his regeneration was nullified before he got himself severely injured... His assessment of damage might be a bit out of practice.

There's also the fact that vampires have supernaturally boosted physical capabilities; the default vampire spawn strength score is more along the lines of 16.

While I am attached to Astarion's horrible noodly score of 8, the concept of him absentmindedly trying to lift things far too heavy for him without vampirism giving him an edge is funny (and honestly could very well tie in to discovering the lack of regeneration when he hurts himself). His reflexes are still good, but they would've been better so he probably finds himself quite clumsy.

His senses of sight, hearing and smell might've gotten duller too (if he complains about this nobody is going to have sympathy - he's an elf, he has the sharpest senses by default). His sense of touch, on the other hand, might've been restored (it's duller for the undead). You know what will make Astarion's already charming attitude [affectionate-and-derogatory] better? Overstimulation.

And after he adjusts the tadpole is removed, and it's back to the adjustment period.

Assorted things Astarion hates that amused me, for some reason, gathered from the dialogue files and written down, I'm not fussing around with screenshots and picture editing right now.

Art:

"I'm not normally one for literature, but there's something there." Sir. Your single fucking idle animation is literally reading. You do dramatic readings of the Tell-tale Heart (although all things considered, that was more of a dramatic re-enactment. Bloody theatre nerds.)

"Ugh. Art."

"Oh, I hate art."

"They were clearly artists. You can tell because it's a mess in here." -

Toys and apparently their owners aren't held in high esteem, either

"Cuddly toys - perfect for weak, soft children."

"[The teddy bear]'s only half-finished and I already detest it."

"Oh, not a creepy doll. Oh that's just awful." -

Using his brain (ie, Puzzles)

"This better be worth it - I can't stand puzzles."

"What now? Why can't I just kill my way through this?"

"So the plates trigger the lights above the doors, and - oh no. It's a puzzle, isn't it?"

"That's not it. Maybe it's someone's birthday or… gods, I hate these things." (also from the bank puzzle, as above. Modern AU Astarion always forgets his PIN, I think)

the upside of ADHD is that it makes you a fucking genius

the downside is that you don't get to decide when and for how long you're a genius.
