So some asshole has thought up a new Tumblr scam: it's a post on a Tumblr account that's named something to make it look official-ish.

Variations include:

account-help

account-sync

account-update

account-updating

These posts show up on your dashboard, telling you that because they think you've monetized your Tumblr account, they're putting you in the penalty box sending you to the cornfield setting you to "Lurker Mode" where you can post but no one will see your posts. And, naturally, all you have to do is click on the helpful link to give tumblrsupport your account data to get it fixed.

Friends, this is a big fat lie.

The official location of Tumblr Support is https://www.tumblr.com/support or https://support.tumblr.com. And guess what? They'll already have your account information.

Tumblr has no such thing as Lurker Mode.

If you right-click on their link, you'll see it's a munged/shortened link. You can go to a site like https://www.expandurl.net to expand that link and see where it takes you: it's not Tumblr Support.

@staff, please be aware this is happening.

anyway if you get a comment like this, chances are that they are bot and their goal is to do whatever it takes to get you to delete your work, most certainly (from what I’ve heard) it’s because they want to “safely” steal your work, use it to train their ai without you being able to rightfully claim ownership of your work since “there’s no proof that the work was stolen/was posted elsewhere first by you” because the original source has already been deleted.

THEY ARE ALL BOTS. at first it was “ao3 is deleting fics and your entire account will be affected unless you delete the fics yourself” then it was “this work contains contents that are illegal and they have already reported you and your fic to the police” (yes, that’s how desperate these bots are), and now it’s this.

report their comments to ao3 for spam—in this case, specifically, I think you may be able to report them for harassment too—and don’t pay attention to them, most importantly don’t delete your works, don’t feel discouraged by their comments. remember that they are bots and they mass comment something like this on people’s works at random to get people to delete their works. (or even if they’re not bot, they are still pathetic bullies who don’t deserve your time or attention.)

Aussie and NZ know the term, which makes sense, I am Australian.

Older folks in UK seem to have heard of it too.

But yes, it's the type of music that you hear reverberating through walls and buildings, even if you're not inside.

Those assholes who drive by and all you here is the deep bass, the "DOOF DOOF DOOF DOOF"

Hello everyone, I would like to make a little announcement.

Now, I wouldn’t do these sorts of announcements often, because- well I’m so busy and lost with everything that even with how active I try to be I can barely follow anything that’s happening haha. But this time I got a glimpse of a message of jokublog for me, and someone I know and admire needs help.

Jael (who goes by the username @jakei95 on tumblr) is an animator and comic artist very VERY present in the Undertale community. In fact, she has so much love for this fandom that she started very ambitious projects that featured alot of other creations from other artists.

She’s the artist of Underverse and Crosstale/Xtale. And I gotta say, her work is FANTASTIC.

She is SO in love with what she does that she QUIT her job to plainly focuse on her artwork and do the job of her dreams.

Unfortunately, she doesn’t reach enough money to keep herself living properly and I find this rather unfair. Her patreon doesn’t work very well and from what I’ve seen, her reactions can grow to anxiety attacks and it pains me ALOT.

I am not forcing you to act. But I’ll admit that even a single dollar would be SO much help for her. I unfortunately can’t donate myself, because I have emergencies in my own life at the moment. :(

Please, at least take the time to check out her work and if you happen to like it and cannot donate, give her support and visibility! Let’s give her the chance to live her dream! <3

(read Xtale!)

Jfc and people tell me my pages look good, look at this. That’s not GOOD, that’s GODLIKE.

My dearest Undertale AU community. I need your help cause some of you are victims of theft. I was informed that some freakers sell your art as pin buttons on one of our russian platforms.

I was able to contact shopkeepers, but I can’t remove them without proofs, so here’s the deal. If you see your/your friend’s artwork please, DM me with:  - Nickname - Screenshot of your drawing(s). I have screenshots with higher resolution if you need it!  -Link to this work/WIP

If you know the artist, please ping them! If you can, please spread the post.

They ARE NOT going to remove pins if I won’t find original artists, and I can’t do it alone. Unfortunately, more serious actions like money refunds require lots of time dealing with documents, and I’m not mentally ready to deal with it, I’m sorry.

@ poetax and @ lunnar-chan are already aware! Thank you.

(listed almost every/every game as one option in case you skipped out on some of the multiplayer ones)

please reblog after you vote for Maximum Data, even if you voted no! if you voted for one of the other options, tag your favorite game(s)!

I am just very interested in the presence of the zelda fanbase :>
