#httyd books #httyd #book hiccup #how to train your dragon #how to train your dragon books #to be explicitly clear about this post: i am uploading this guy with the idea that someone may copy/paste him into various situations #like historical photos/bowls of soup/over an active volcano whatever #thats why he's transparent so you dont have to photoshop or whatever if ya wanna do it #i also dont expect anyone other than like my friends to do this #because Social Anxiety is a thing and interacting with strangers is Uncomfortable so like not everyone's gonna wanna do it #and thats cool if you just wanna reblog the boy cause you like him without edits or anything #but also anyone can slap this guy into a photo or whatever i dont care #i just wanna see my guy in situations lol #i feel like i had more to say but idk so #im aware this is a long explanation for this but #i like explaining to be clear #recently had a test that had very little instructions and i didnt know what to do so #im also probably just in an extra explaining mood cause of that lol

I've had to block a lot of bots in the last few days, and I accidentally realized that some of the no-avatar no-post accounts, have some likes, and they might be real people.

I checked all of the other accounts for likes, and only blocked the ones who had absolutely nothing on their account. If you've made a tumblr account for the first time, and didn't change your avatar, didn't reblog or like anything, and you're just here to read things, that is 100% okay, and I would not want to block or report you for that.

However, tumblr has a problem where bot-accounts do a large-scale following, and then proceed to send spam, use the link to your blogs to promote themselves as 'real accounts', do promotions using your blog as link to a real person, and eventually you end up having to block them from messaging and harassing you. It's because of that we HAVE to block and report bots, they'll swarm and harass us otherwise. They're also skewing the numbers and making it impossible to tell how many actual real people are following and interacting with your blog.

So if you're new here, and just want to read, please put some kind of picture as your avatar, or put at least one single post on your blog, just to verify to the rest of us that you're real. I had more than 70 fake accounts follow me in the last few days and I'm mortified to imagine I accidentally blocked and reported an actual person.

#blocking and reporting bots #tumblr issues #i think this is whats driving the new users away #how would they know they have to prove they're real and that this is a bot hellspace #removing the bots would protect new users immediately #BUT NO #tumblr staff fix this #OR MAKE A TUTORIAL SO THAT NEW USERS ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS AT LEAST #GIVE THEM LITTLE INSTRUCTIONS TO LOOK REAL AND NOT BE SUSPECTED OF BOT ACTIVITY

literally the best thing about joel and ellie is they’re both batshit fucking insane actually

#this 14yo giving her dying father figure a knife and firmly instructing him to fucking kill anyone who walks through the door #and joel stealth ramboing a random guy straight through the neck while actively bleeding out #just bc she told him to #like a pair of local feral cats that i'm gonna feed every day #tlou hbo

#significant time passes between each row of panels btw. this took place over 40 minutes #his dad was getting more and more upset that he was dragging me around instead #sorry bud im his dad now #not pictured: me trying to put the shapes on my head and him truly believing i didn't understand his instructions #and so patiently explaining again that i need to *hand* them to him #''so.... not on my head? just in your hands?'' #''YES'' [holds out lil baby hands] #''ohh okay i get it now'' [puts it on my head] #''NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!'' #this was a chill afternoon activity #after all of the fire related nonsense in the morning #my candle on a stick kept going out on the way to the hydrogen so i ended up standing waaaaaaay too close #when it detonated lol #THEN when i went to light the first rocket i discover somebody bought small matches! #short matches! like an inch long i swear. teeny tiny matches #and i had already fumbled several things i didn't have time to go get other matches mid show so i was lik #''everyone think fire resistant thoughts for me real quick!!'' and just ran my hands over the gas flame bc yknow #[aragorn voice] for the bit #AND THEN MY FIRE PISTON WOULDN'T IGNITE #i was making the little kid's face from this comic at that point i swear #coworker snuck in to watch the show and watched my soul leave my body instead #blease. a smidge of energy. god knows i put enough into these damn shows lol

truly bizarre and dystopian sentences to hear in a workplace safety training:

"Do not fight fairly. Use any means necessary. Attack weak points such as the eyes. Commit firmly to your actions. Do not hesitate."

#bestie am i being instructed to kill someone? (bc i absolutely will you honestly dont have to tell me twice) #this was for the active shooter portion of the training (the last resort 'defend' part of 'Avoid Deny Defend) #other notable parts that showed up in the fire safety training were what to do if people try to barricade you in from the outside #and how to evacuate quietly through the super duper secured secret back door

my parents never took me off their phone plan (we'll figure it out eventually) and they just switched carriers, which is nice but my phone can't reactivate my SIM remotely and I'll have to go to the store tomorrow when it opens to get everything sorted out. in the meantime I've been emailing my bf like it's 2001 or something.

#tbd #also been emailing my dad trying to activate my phone #but he only got instructions for iphone and found the same samsung article i did #which tells me to go find a setting that doesn't exist on my phone

I’ve been thinking abt one of my older oni colonies and decided to doodle my first three dupes in that save

#keese draws #oxygen not included #but yeah these guys were my main scientist digger and rancher respectively #this was one of my actual spaced out style saves so ofc I chose the cold asteroid still #it was painful opening this save again to look at their traits as it was basically my first longer attempt #let’s just say I had no idea what I was doing and ran out of power literally everywhere #might do a rescue attempt on this save tbh sounds like a fun challenge #but yeah I actually have characterizations for most of the dupes in this save in my head they’re like semi ocs to me #they’re the ones I like to imagine fumbling about post olivia entering sleep mode #cause there’d be such a harsh contrast in how they’d all react and move forwards #burt in particular would take it rly hard mostly because he’s the only scientist #so everyone ends up looking to him for answers and help and he just doesn’t know how to provide any of it #he had already spent so long feeling overworked and under appreciated so this wouldn’t help at all #quinn on the other hand is generally more optimistic as they have gone through a lot of rough shit and made it out on the other side #so they see this as an obstacle they’ll all overcome and grow stronger from #they’re also just very used to being suddenly forced to say goodbye to people for potentially forever #harold was almost relieved by the whole event because it lead to a lot less activity in the neural chip network #which is in fact a big source of panic for most of the dupes but harold pretty much exclusively goes to like 3 rooms so he’s not as effected #he also just doesn’t like the noise of the hundreds of commands that he can’t even follow #he just manages the plants and the pips and sometimes helps with the cooking #he honestly really likes the freedom of figuring out what to do without instruction #as the pip farm he manages is very. well let’s just say pips tend to starve in there a lot #yknow thankfully I did give these guys a bunch of phones so at least they’d be able to still know what’s up with eachother still #still an uncomfortable feeling loosing that connection that you’ve been relying on for years

back in my being a horrible upstairs neighbor and putting together flat pack furniture at 11pm era.

#my neighbors deserve it they are genuinely awful people #gender affirming activity tbh. just don’t tell anybody about the 30 minutes I kept un and reattaching the power strip holder #because the instructions did NOT make it clear on how to string the support bar through it so it stays upright

What's your favorite recipie to cook?

Oh bestie….I am the worlds worst cook like I literally get nervous boiling water bc I’ll even fuck THAT up most of the time. However if we are talking about BAKING! I very rarely get a chance to actually do it but I love it. My fave recipe is probably my cinnamon spice cupcakes that I usually make this time of year

#did I ever post a pic of the fire truck cake I made my dad for his birthday #I Think it might’ve been right before I got active in this fandom #but since he’s the captain of our local fire company I made a fire truck cake from scratch with no recipe #and oh my god it was such a disaster LMFAOOOOOOOOO #it tasted good but idk why I thought I could do something that ambitious with 0 instructions #asks #anonymous
