i have to remind myself of the population 😔
if i never expect more than 10 hits, i can only be delighted as a few years go by
I both love and hate writing niche fanfic for either rarepairs or small/slow fandoms (or both lol) because while I'm guaranteed that at least a handful of people are gonna be ecstatic about the fic showing up..... I also crave visual representation of my successes and the Hits counter looks so sad
I know most people don't care about anything unless it has to do with the U.S. but can we please start talking about the Canadian election.
Please don't vote for Poilievre. He's basically the Canadian Trump and plans to put in place laws that harm trans youth, and lots of other shit.
Please vote istg this is the only way anything will get better. Poilievre has been kissing millionaires and billionaires asses. He'll make life even harder, and he loves Trump.
Reblogs are appreciated, especially if you aren't Canadian.
I hope y'all are familiar with these in this day and age, especially my artists out there, because they're incredibly common.
About half an hour ago I posted a drawing and tagged it #artists on tumblr, and very quickly received this comment.
My scam radar went off immediately, due to the generic blog name and lack of any emotion in the comment, but I decided it might be an entertaining venture so I dmed them. They asked for a drawing "of these", and sent me a random selfie. I got the details and told them it would be $15, and they promptly offered me $300. At this point I know it's a scam, but I play along for funsies and give them my paypal. Shortly, they send me this image for "confirmation" (I blocked out my email)
And they began to insist that I checked my email. I looked in my spam folder and found the following email.
This is fake. This is not a thing. And the "you're to refund the $200.00 back" is the scam. They send vaguely official-looking emails at you to "prove" that they sent you the money, then have you send them $200 (or however much the scam is for). Then, surprise surprise, you're out $200.
I continued to play along for a bit, and in the second email "Paypal" told me that I had to refund the $200 before they could "credit the $300 to my account", along with these lovely threats.
And yeah, it's silly. But it's not silly if you don't know and get scammed. So. Spread, please! And thank you very much to @mlaurel for the opportunity to get these screenshots.
Reblog and put in the tags if you can remember where you got the shirt you’re currently wearing.

Hi there Daffodile again! My new signature so you know it's me will be "— Daffodile 💚"! Will remain anon for now! :p
Anyway, Haha yes, I was so happy to see that you responded to my comment! Your oneshot changed my brain chemistry and I want so much more of your writing as a whole, Greenflower deserves more love and even Brad himself! Your characterization of him was incredible, especially with the dynamic that he is Lloyd's stalker but in a raw, naked way, he doesn't see Lloyd as a doll or a pet, he sees Llyod as something worth the trouble, He sees Lloyd as someone worth getting his hands dirty with blood for, He just wants to line Lloyd up inside his chest and close to his heart forever <3
I also read your Selkie!Llyod Greenflower oneshot and will soon prepare a comment for it too! Just a heads up— I LOVED IT!!!! I have so much to say about it! Holy Guacamole!!

New anon 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Ahhhhh you GET IT!!! I’m so happy when people are able to pick apart what makes these guys tick bc I suck at putting it into words in a concise manner. Like yessss there’s such a difference between a stalker wanting to own a person or feeling entitled to them and Brad, aka hardcore romantic, who goes through all the trouble as a means of proving himself ‘worthy’. I adore you Daffodile
ha sucks to su—oof
*i trip and spill WIPs all over the floor. i scramble to gather them but more fall out from my pockets, eyes, and seams*
ah, ahaha, ha (;ŏ﹏ŏ)
Me because I physically have to write an entire fic for a handful of cool fight scenes/character introspection and the most heart-rending tear jerking heart breaking knife twisting line in existence
Y’know the crazy part about The Graveyard Shift (aside from the Everything) is that Lloyd is bisexual. Harumi did not have to impersonate a completely different person if she wanted to pull off her fake-dating plot she literally could’ve just decided they were ‘dating’ and Lloyd would be down
