You know, when I see fictional characters who repress all their emotions, they’re usually aloof and very blunt about keeping people at a distance, sometimes to an edgy degree—but what I don’t see nearly enough are the emotionally repressed characters who are just…mellow.
Think about it. In real life, the person that’s bottling up all their emotions is not the one that’s brooding in the corner and snaps at you for trying to befriend them. More often than not, it’s that friendly person in your circle who makes easy conversation with you, laughs with you, and listens and gives advice whenever you’re upset. But you never see them upset, in fact they seem to have endless patience for you and everything around them—and so you call them their friend, you trust them. And only after months of telling them all your secrets do you realize…
…they’ve never actually told you anything about themselves.
Adding onto this: characters who are so deeply repressed that they don’t even realize they’re not fine, or at the very least not supposed to be fine. Characters who do tell you about a situation they’re in that should be bad, but instantly laugh it off saying they can handle it (spoiler: they can, in fact, not handle it). Characters who laugh with you and listen to all your woes and much later you learn that they were actually going through something at least equally bad at the time, but they wave it off and don’t want to speak of it. Characters whose main coping mechanism seems to be “don’t think about it” on endless loop.
Basically, the fictional embodiment of the “this is fine” dog.

Nightshade works similarly as Glaze, but instead of a defense against style mimicry, it is designed as an offense tool to distort feature representations inside generative AI image models. Like Glaze, Nightshade is computed as a multi-objective optimization that minimizes visible changes to the original image. While human eyes see a shaded image that is largely unchanged from the original, the AI model sees a dramatically different composition in the image. For example, human eyes might see a shaded image of a cow in a green field largely unchanged, but an AI model might see a large leather purse lying in the grass. Trained on a sufficient number of shaded images that include a cow, a model will become increasingly convinced cows have nice brown leathery handles and smooth side pockets with a zipper, and perhaps a lovely brand logo.

Poll Day is an interactive narrative adventure about the nature of choice, the implications of free will, friends fighting against fate, ancient gods, and queerness.
Each part of the story is determined by a poll of what actions the main character takes. In that sense, the main character is controlled by the audience.
However, in order for that idea to work, there needs to be an audience. Anyone who would be interested is encouraged to follow the blog and choose to vote on the polls that appear with each story beat. Without a larger audience, the polls won’t make as much sense. There needs to be a larger sample size, so to speak. Also, consider reblogging this post if your followers or mutuals may be interested.
Poll Day will begin when this blog reaches 50 followers.
chekov’s cat: if you see a cat, it will probably be relevant later.
schroedinger’s gun: there’s no way to know if a gun is loaded or not until you physically inspect and check it yourself, so it’s safest to assume all guns are loaded.
Schrœdinkov’s Catgun: If you see a cat with a gun, there’s no way to know if it will be relevant later except to wait and observe.
Placcam’s Razorcave: The simplest explanation for anything is that you have no understanding of the real world.
Murphagoryan Lawrem: The square of the consequences of any two things that can go wrong will equal the sum of the squared consequences of the individual things.
Okkov’s Gunblade: If you see someone with a bayonet, the simplest explanation is that they will stab you in the future.
Schrœdingorean Catrollary: If you put a cat in a triangular box, the hypotenuse face of the box could be both intact and destroyed until you actually look at what the cat’s been up to.
Plurphy’s Cave Law: If you don’t understand the real world, things will go wrong.
Pychœccovamatophy’s theory of cat-shaving cave gun regulations: If you see a cat with a gun in one hand and a blade in the other emerging from a cave on a right-angled path, the simplest solution is to flee along the hypotenuse, but you won’t know until later whether anything will go wrong because you really don’t understand the real world.
I haven’t actually had an almond joy in my life ever
ok this is going to be really fucking weird but I feel comfortable enough asking it. I’ve heard what could be considered myths about allergies and allergens in general, so take what I’m about to say with a grain of salt. Id love someone who actually works as a doctor to chime in and clear this up, but you’ll be good enough for now. If I consumed almonds before nutting in your mouth, would the allergens be present in my semen? I’ve heard wives tales about this sort of thing in regards to peanut allergies but of course it’s one of those things I don’t really want to test.
this is a list of all and every anti tony stark user on this site. this screenshot is really tall. the size is 500x27000.
here is the picture. have fun blocking these toxic blogs. just zoom a couple of times and you should be able to see all the blogs!
Tony Stark is an obnoxious character obviously written by straight men who have know idea what a charming man is like, and he is also bourgeoisie scum who deserves the rusty blade of a guillotine.
we used to have real drama on this website
Iron Man was invented by Stan Lee in order to basically say “I’m gonna make the kids love an arms dealer, you stupid hippies”
I have this goal of finding a modeler/printer who will model all of my OC’s in the same way that one renaissance painting is where all the guys are holding up the other guy
i dont know the name of it does anyone know? it’s not jesus related i dont think
wait i think its a statue actually
oh i know how to appeal to you guys
theres a statue or a painting i forget which that is like. a guy falling and like 4-5 other people around him holding him up BUT theres a tumblr post where like a group of friends recreate it in a museum next to it
I’m just here to remind everyone once again that we can’t stop protesting and boycotting and spreading the word for Palestine, even if it’s been a while. The people in power (mainly the Israeli and US governments) are relying on us losing steam.
And I do want to mention that a small bit of hope to be found among all of this is that things aren’t losing steam. I still see dozens of posts about Palestine every day, I see footage of protests almost every day, and the boycotts are working. I just want to encourage everyone that we just need to keep it up! I’ve seen so many social issues fade out over time, a week of outrage and then things settle down, but that isn’t the case here and I really respect everyone who’s still posting and protesting and seeking out information to end this once and for all. Focus on that hope, and use it to keep going :)
no U are not anyones “yandere girlfriend” you are a white girl with cat ear headphones who calls herself mizaki chan
This post makes people so angry op is in witness protection
I’ve seen Tumblr being a broken mess before but this post really takes the cake. OP doesnt have a name. If you look in the notes half the reblogs are just colons. I’ve seen people say clicking on OP’s blog brings them to an entirely random one, and that they couldnt exit it. You’ve got people investigating OP, and white girls getting all defensive. One of those heritage posts blogs is there. If I wanted to show someone peak Tumblr and what its like on here I’d just show them this post.
There’s no URL because this is a message from god
behold, a burning bush
What, for me it’s
The bush is burning so bright, it’s gotta wear shades
op isn’t even *here* when you’re reblogging it
someone explain what the hell is going on here
because that’s definitely a blog you can click on
this person hasn’t even been inactive for that long and it’s impossible to date the original post since it no longer exists but like yeah this is a functioning website people want to use to make money.
UH…. this started as a joke between my roommate and I that escalated into what you see here. weve been watching invader zim and venture bros together. Excuse the sloppiness i did most of this in one sitting and didnt intend to spend much time on it. dghfhgdgd
(For the record I’m working off the assumption that Zim would care if Dib dies even if he hates him because no Dib means no rival and source of validation. If u don’t believe me look up mopiness of doom)
You ever meet a kid so shitty you’re immediately like “I want to adopt you as my own so I can instill into you the values of dignity and compassion and respect for self and others that your guardians have so obviously neglected, so that you may escape the unhappy future that lies ahead of you with all the smoldering ashes of wasted potential” but also, like. I punt you like a football
Drop the vape u little turd I’m gonna take an active interest in your passions and buy u pants that fit. When was your last dentist appointment. U wanna go to summer camp
fags are allowed to say dyke and dykes are allowed to say fag in the same way that youre allowed to run up and slap your sibling on the back of the head
I fully agree with the sentiment but also seeing this reblogged onto my dash by my sibling feels like a warning.

Meet one of the planet’s smallest turtles: the bog turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii)! This petite reptile grows up to 4.5 in (11.4 cm) long. It’s easily identifiable by the orange patches on either side of its head.
The bog turtle has an impressive lifespan, with the oldest documented individual reaching an age of 61! Unfortunately, this species is critically endangered due in part to poaching and habitat loss as a result of human expansion.

My current job has me working with children, which is kind of a weird shock after years in environments where a “young” patient is 40 years old. Here’s my impressions so far:
Birth - 1 year: Essentially a small cute animal. Handle accordingly; gently and affectionately, but relying heavily on the caregivers and with no real expectation of cooperation.
Age 1 - 2: Hates you. Hates you so much. You can smile, you can coo, you can attempt to soothe; they hate you anyway, because you’re a stranger and you’re scary and you’re touching them. There’s no winning this so just get it over with as quickly and non-traumatically as possible.
Age 3 - 5: Nervous around medical things, but possible to soothe. Easily upset, but also easily distracted from the thing that upset them. Smartphone cartoons and “who wants a sticker?!!?!?” are key management techniques.
Age 6 - 10: Really cool, actually. I did not realize kids were this cool. Around this age they tend to be fairly outgoing, and super curious and eager to learn. Absolutely do not babytalk; instead, flatter them with how grown-up they are, teach them some Fun Gross Medical Facts, and introduce potentially frightening experiences with “hey, you want to see something really cool?”
Age 11 - 14: Extremely variable. Can be very childish or very mature, or rapidly switch from one mode to the other. At this point you can almost treat them as an adult, just… a really sensitive and unpredictable adult. Do not, under any circumstances, offer stickers. (But they might grab one out of the bin anyway.)
Age 15 - 18: Basically an adult with severely limited life experience. Treat as an adult who needs a little extra education with their care. Keep parents out of the room as much as possible, unless the kid wants them there. At this point you can go ahead and offer stickers again, because they’ll probably think it’s funny. And they’ll want one. Deep down, everyone wants a sticker.
This is also a pretty excellent guide to writing kids of various ages

“So, take notes, Butcher Biden: The ancestors of the Ireland that you claim to be from disown you. Keep our country out of your mouth. And as for von der Leyen (President of the European Commission), and genocidal Germany with your words and deeds supporting Israel in the ICJ: Not in our name! The people of Europe stand with Palestine and with South Africa.”
Clare Daly - Irish Politician and Member of the European Parliament- 16/01/2024
“But what about Hamas?” I grew up with this question whipped at my face every time I declared my people’s right to survive. “What about Hamas?” It didn’t matter if I’d just asked for clean water or the right to return to our stolen land. “What about Hamas?” they’d ask, holding my humanity hostage. Their smug smiles at this question, which they saw as a rhetorical coup. I gave them hours, pages of my words. I filled rooms with my hot breath, panting, “We are not terrorists—Hamas is a symptom of oppression—yes of course I condemn extremism—this is a struggle for human rights—Israel propped up Hamas for years—please look at our children—please, don’t you see our helpless elders?—please, if you don’t respect us as humans, could you spare some pity?”
mobile game ad in 2006: leaflet that was in the case for a game you just bought that says “Wanna keep playing on the go? Text GAMER1 to 69420 and play it on your mobile phone!” and its a very bad isometric demake that added an extra $30 to your phone bill that was not mentioned anywhere in the ad other than the microscopic text at the bottom. you only remember it existing after seeing it in a lost media youtube video where it was reuploaded by a reddit user named BluntBurninBeavis75.
mobile game ad in 2013: ad that plays before a youtube video thats a guy running down a hallway holding his ass that says “Download PoopRunner today!” and everytime you die you have to watch an ad for Facebook Mobile unless you pay 7.99 for the ad free version that also has five free respawns. if you can manage to get a million points you can unlock a gangnam style character and if you get a billion points you unlock a lets player that will get cancelled in about a decade because he was at the jan 6th capitol insurrection.
mobile game ad in 2017: tv ad of a celebrity waltzing through a warzone holding their phone and tapping it and making explosions happen behind them for a game called Toys of War and its the worlds most boring RTS imaginable that somehow has millions of downloads and one of your coworkers and/or relatives are hopelessly addicted to it and have spent more on that game than you do on groceries. turns out this game started off as a browser game in 2009 that had web ads of beautiful women saying “Come Play My Lord!” while you were trying to play Free Rider 2 on some bootleg flash game site the school computer system hasnt blocked yet.
mobile game ad in 2024: unskippable ad on social media featuring a woman with disgusting feet getting licked by her husband frame one and then she shits the bed and gets thrown out into a freezing cold shack as two prompts show up that say Help Her! and Piss on her! and you get to see someone playing a puzzle game badly on purpose. when you download the game its literally just fallout shelter. the puzzle game did not even exist until a week ago where they legally had to add it in and you can only play it once a day after 50 minutes of playtime and it doesnt look nearly as well made as it did in the ad.
