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.

The boys, not being in love or anything. You can't prove it. So what if they're in the same bed and sleeping next to each other into the golden morning light? It's just your imagination. S-shut up.

WAYWARD COMPASS - PART ONE - CHAPTER ONE

[Soma(OC) x Anders(OC) Genshin Impact Original Fic]

Written by @kikorenart & @drawlypsy

Summary: Soma Amachidame; heir apparent to the Amachidame Clan of Watatsumi Jima has spent years wandering from city to city in Teyvat for one purpose - to rise beyond his means and reunite with his little sister. His next stop; Sumeru where the Akademiya and prestige awaits.

It’s only a shame he has a proclivity for getting lost.

Rating: Explicit

Tags: original character(s), slow burn, m/m, f/f, blood and violence, smut, Inazuma lore, Fontaine lore, video game mechanics

Notes: comin’ atcha hot with a brand spankin’ new (pre-written) original story that I’ve co-written with Psy for the last ten months or so. Updates will come twice a week on Sundays and Wednesdays and will be primarily found on AO3.

CHAPTER ONE - Taking a Wrong Turn

He stood on the deck of that ship until the last shred of light left along the horizon. The lanterns on the beach were his only indicator that Watatsumi was there at all, disappearing below the waves as if no more than flotsam on the tide. Soma watched until his eyes ached from the salt air and the whipping wind casting strength into the sails of the Crux. This massive ship was bound for Liyue’s main port, a place so far away it seemed unfathomable. Yet as he drifted further from the only home he’d ever known, he felt the tether in his chest tighten with sharp agony.

Kiyo was on those shores.

He hadn’t been able to speak to her just before he left. The aunts and uncles forbade any final farewell; vindictive to the very last, it would seem. They did not know that he had already sat with Kiyo in secret and told her the whole of his plans the night before;

“Can’t we go together, Nii-sama?” She had implored, and for the life of him he could not remember the reason why as he gazed down at her forlorn tears.

“Would if I could.” He replied softly, committing her face to memory on that moonless night. “There are many things I must prepare beforehand. I cannot let you come from nothing. Be brave for me, sister.”

For a girl of nine, Kiyo peered through her gold eyes with far too much intelligence alongside the compassion she held - a burden she carried for her brother and his ambition. It took only moments for Soma’s little sister to quiet her sadness, and with great hesitance that he felt in her small fingers, let his hand go with a bow of her head.

“I will.” She nodded then, “I’ll-…miss you.”

There is a crack in Soma’s heart at this goodbye, and it widens at the resignation in Kiyo’s face for letting him go. It bid him to lean down and gently cup her little face in his hands.

“I’ll be quick as lightning,” He smiled, “-I’ll write often. We’ll be together again soon, Kiyo. I promise.”

————

Soma kept his promises to his sister, no matter how impossible they seemed. He would return for her. This he vowed upon the vision glowing at his neck, the only light in the dark and storming sea beyond Inazuma’s isolated shores.

‘Be brave, and wait for me.’

Six long years. It felt like all would be achieved in those first few weeks of Soma’s arrival at the city of Freedom. He had found a way to ingratiate himself almost immediately with the Favonius Knights. Swordsmanship was a skill he had cultivated nearly from his infancy, but his scribe work seemed more interesting to the likes of Varka and the Acting Grand Master Jean.

It had at least provided ample time to write letters back to Inazuma, one after the other for every new venture. Soma took it upon himself to learn everything he could about the native culture of the land he wandered into after a lengthy stay at Liyue harbor and an arduous trek through Dihua Marsh. He became intimately acquainted with the language, the food, and ultimately the local companionship. Something to pass the time while he worked his way from a lowly clerk to something more akin to a secretarial position of authority. This had paid off handsomely, in the end, with a recommendation to the hallowed halls of the Akademiya - a full-throated Favonian referral to become one of their students with a former valedictorian’s blessing.

Lisa had been instrumental in his progression professionally and personally. He could have sworn he found in her a like-minded electro user who saw the benefits of scholarship along with its pitfalls. Someone like him could be blinded by ambition if he wasn’t careful, since there were more than enough temptations put in his way. She helped to smooth the track forward without leading him astray, and for that Soma was immensely grateful. Lisa was not his only companion, though.

The red-haired Master Diluc had bid him a terse farewell as he packed his bags once again for Sumeru City. It wasn’t a tearful goodbye so much as a silent understanding they’d gone the extent of what their relationship could allow. There were no promises made, and Soma had preferred it that way. Much like with Lisa, Soma did not allow his sentiments to hamper the blade-like focus on the horizon. Set roots. Rise. Then, and only then would he have the foundations he needed to fetch his other half at last. She would rise, too.

All this could finally begin in Sumeru City.

How curious though, that I am now two days overdue my estimated arrival…

Had I made a wrong turn?

It was a rain-soaked night when he finally made it to the misty docks of Fontaine. The city was sprawling, half underwater and made of unforgiving stone. A desolate place teeming with people that were practically stacked atop one another - an existence he could hardly contemplate for how sprawling Watatsumi Island had been. From the slums to the dockside to the upper class neighborhoods of austere and stately homes, there was nothing that escaped the heavy feeling of damp and oppressive modernity.

Gone were the gay and bright windmills of Mondstadt, whose sun-kissed stones were a brighter gray like the foundations of a smile. This was a wholly different kind of city, which lacked any freedoms. Shackles came to his mind as he stood watching a stooped group of beggars by the side street, huddled around a can that acted as their hearth. They roasted pieces of scrap meat over it, as if it could do something to lift the plague stench from the vittles they’d found in the garbage nearby.

A vagrant woman met his eyes as he walked past her swaying form. Soma caught the stench of a whole surgeon’s facility full of rubbing alcohol, but not the clean kind. The fetid kind, that sharply reproached the senses with a vile stab up the nostrils. He tried his best to master his expression as she smiled at him, toothless, and began to babble about pearls and rings. A merry diddy she sang as she swirled down the alley with what he could only assume was formaldehyde in her system.

I have surely made a wrong turn, or two.

I still haven't found the other side of this yet.

I'm getting that feeling again where you walk into a room and suddenly the laughter dies down, the people get a little quieter, or they just politely excuse themselves. I've been getting the urge to delete everything again. Sometimes I would put my paintings in a pile and burn them, both as a form of control and to destroy the evidence of my failure. I didn't keep my "cringey" art that I had to survive or get through so I could stand on my current work.

I want to burn my current work, too.

I am struggling, mentally and physically. I feel the years starting to dwindle and I see nothing to show for it. There is this sense of hurry up and wait that drives me insane, so I'm circling the drain and watching everything I wanted to grasp passing me by.

Does this mean I'm a weaker person for not being able to do this on my own? Should I try to write again? Try to draw again? Try to be anything other than this depressed lump of flesh that hurts all the time and has no sense of self-worth?

I don't want to be this person. I'm trying to brainstorm in my battered little skull the way out of this feeling, but it's pretty overwhelming. I don't want to lose.

Future me, I really want to meet you. I really want to reach out and hold your hand and tell you it was worth it. I just have to avoid scorching the earth so we can stand together.

I'll get there.

I'm sorry

I realize I'm not good at remembering things or people. I struggle to maintain connections for a multitude of reasons, but it's not anything I mean to do.

Part of me thinks it's because of my physical disability, but another part of me believes I'm just a really shitty friend. I swear I look up one day and realize I'm sitting alone, hunched over my work in my own little world. Like an empty lunchroom when you thought you were sitting with friends. This is why people leave, I think. Or maybe it's because I'm not enough. I don't know how to be in a relationship without bleeding through it. I know I can be obnoxious. A one-track mind. Obsessive and downright autistic. I don't feel valuable as a person unless I'm leaning on someone else creatively, however, and that just hurts to know.

I will never be good in my own right.

I don't usually like these little tumblr confessions, but it's cathartic in a way to voice your emotions where others can witness. Like laying down the public record, concrete and weighty in the eyes of others. Proof I can look back at when I'm done crying my eyes out at 1 AM.

I need to get over it. I need to be better. I need to be brave.

For anyone out there that feels the same, I'm sorry. See you on the other side of this.

[drawlypsy]

So still not doing well. I'm just going to keep replying to this post until I can get to the other side of this.

I feel...lost. I feel very disconnected again. I'm forcing my way through it, but something intrinsic is lost. Something vital. I sometimes cry and then I sometimes smack myself across the face - get up, girl. Do your work. Do the thing. Be the bigger person. We're all adults.

But then I'm a kid again, staring at an empty birthday party and sobbing my eyes out because I will never be liked. I am weird, but so isn't the rest of the world? Then why am I so weird I just alienate people by being myself?

Add to that short term memory issues and a serious problem with saying "no" and suddenly you sit up in your chair a corporate slave, with a tinier friend group than you thought, a disinteresting note in an increasingly loud world.

I don't want to be this person anymore, but how do you escape it? I guess through pain, but I'm tired of hurting.

I wish I was interesting enough to hold onto someone. I wish they'd stay. I am probably just whining into the void, but at least here the echo can reflect back at me at a better time.

Future me, it's okay. You were pathetic, but you got over it. I'm waiting to meet you soon.

I'm sorry

I realize I'm not good at remembering things or people. I struggle to maintain connections for a multitude of reasons, but it's not anything I mean to do.
