Shit

At 40, Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who never married and had no children, walked through the park in Berlin when he met a girl who was crying because she had lost her favourite doll. She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully. Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would come back to look for her.

The next day, when they had not yet found the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter "written" by the doll saying "please don't cry. I took a trip to see the world. I will write to you about my adventures."

Thus began a story which continued until the end of Kafka's life.

During their meetings, Kafka read the letters of the doll carefully written with adventures and conversations that the girl found adorable.

Finally, Kafka brought back the doll (he bought one) that had returned. “It doesn't look like my doll at all," said the girl.

Kafka handed her another letter in which the doll wrote: "my travels have changed me." the little girl hugged the new doll and brought her happy home.

A year later Kafka died. Many years later, the now-adult girl found a letter inside the doll. In the tiny letter signed by Kafka it was written:

"Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way."

@jaeminsespresso thanks for the idea, love!

“Oh my god, you have no idea how much I owe you right now,” you looked exhausted when Xuxi opened up the door.

“Of course, come in,” he says while he steps aside. You walked in without another word and carefully carried a large baby carrier with you. “What happened?”

“My mom called, she needs help right now because her car stalled and I had no one to turn to,” you rushed. You placed the carrier by the couch and handed Xuxi a large bag. “Have you ever changed diapers before?”

“No…”

“Okay, not a problem, just look it up on YouTube. Her formula’s in the bag, you just have to mix it with a cup of warm water. I packed a lot of little towels and, yes, before you ask, you will need all of them. She has extra clothes in there too, just in case, and if she cries just give her her pacifier and if that doesn’t work just hold her for a bit but don’t shake her up because she has a weak stomach and she’s heavy so be careful. Use this towel whenever you carry her because yes oh god babies throw up. And, whatever you do, keep these little gloves on her because the little girl loves to scratch herself and it worries me to no end. Do you have any questions?” You caught your breath and held your hands in gentle fists. Xuxi just shook his head.

“Just go, (Y/N), I’ll take care of her for you.”

“Thank you so much, you’re a life saver, Xuxi. If anything happens just call me and I’ll go to someone else, okay?”

“No worries! I can take care of mini-(Y/N) just as well as I take care of you,” he laughs. You visibly relaxed and was about to say more when your phone rang again.

“Okay, that’s my cue. I’ll be back as soon as I can!” You took your keys out and rushed out of the door.

“Drive safe!” Xuxi called once again, but you were already in your car and driving off. Xuxi sighed and locked his door, walking over to the barely a year old child who was wide awake in the carrier. “Hello there, mini-(Y/N),” he says. The baby stared at him with wide eyes and Xuxi smiled softly. “I’m your mom’s best friend! Just call me Uncle Xuxi, okay?” The baby just babbled and Xuxi laughed quietly. “Want to come out of your little carrier? It’s past your bed time.”

“Mm,” the baby answered in a way as if to say yes and Xuxi carefully unbuckled her carrier and pulled out the towel from the bag.

“Your mom is so cool, I could never do what she’s doing, especially alone,” he says with a wistful voice while he fixed the towel over his shoulder. He picked up the small baby with precision, the last thing he wanted was to hurt the small baby and have her not trust him for the rest of her life, no way, then he walked over to his kitchen. “You’re so light, I don’t know what (Y/N) was talking about, calling you a big baby, haha. Oh and you’re so cute, you’ve got big ol’ eyes like your mom, don’t you? Don’t worry, you can trust your good uncle Xuxi. I won’t leave you like your dad did.”

Reblogging to spread awareness

some very important info re: paid accounts~

I am not a lawyer, but I can decently interpret legalese and, being as I also suffer from tl;dr syndrome and assume others may as well, I took one for the team and went through the updated TOS for the post+ accounts and highlighted (what I understand to be) the most pertinent information, which ultimately comes down to this:

You cannot monetize copyrighted works (aka charge and earn money from fanfic, fanworks, etc) and if you do decide to put your fanworks behind a paywall via Tumblr, when you are inevitably sued, Tumblr will not protect you and will not defend you and you alone, personally, will be responsible for whatever monetary damages said lawsuit results in.

If anyone is a lawyer and knows I've gotten any of this wrong, please do not hesitate to correct me/this post.

Screenshots taken from Tumblr's TOS (updated 7-21-21), Stripe's Account Agreement, and the post+ FAQs.

1. Your paid account will not be hosted by tumblr; it is routed through a 3rd party.

Some Very Important Info Re: Paid Accounts~

2. By signing up for a paid account, you're entering into an agreement with Stripe, so in addition to Tumblr's TOS, you are also bound to Stripe's TOS.

3. Stripe, like Tumblr, will not defend you or protect you against any lawsuits.

4. Furthermore, you may end up owing Stripe money (indemnify = compensate)

5. Tumblr's TOS specifically states that you can't put any content on your post+ account that violates any laws, including laws that protect intellectual property rights of others. This is super important, because Tumblr's post+ FAQ also states that you can post anything that you would regularly post on tumblr, which I'm sure many will take to mean that gifsets, fanworks, etc are fair game, since all of that stuff can be posted on tumblr now. However, the difference is, you're not making money from the fanworks you're posting or reblogging now. Once money enters the equation, the game changes.

Tumblr is making it seem like any and all content goes for post+ accounts, knowing 90% of this site is fanworks. This is not true and you'll be opening yourself up for lawsuits if you charge for fanworks.

6. Tumblr further disclaims any and all liability in any legal issues.

tl;dr: Please do not make a post+ account, bc you will be opening yourself to lawsuits and if that happens, Tumblr's response will be not our problem, you agreed to all the terms which said you couldn't do that, sorry not sorry. Please protect yourself.
