ad astra

Woah I’m not dead!! Slowly getting back into emoji making, thanks for your patience! Gonna start with some self-indulgent ones and then will get started with requests! 🫶

I recently found out that one of my emotes weren’t credited properly (My “This!” emoji!), please be sure to credit me! My credit is “BM_text”!! If you see my emoji without credit in a server, feel free to let me know or just give the sender a small reminder!

• i love how echolalia turns into play (quoting shows, copying tones, animal noises, favorite words)🎧

• i love how stimming and regression blend together like for me oral stimming with a paci🍼

• i love how routines & sameness can become part of regression

• i love how sameness doesn’t feel boring it feels safe in age re🧸

• i love how we build very specific little setups exactly how we need them & that’s what lets us relax

• i love how regression can make the world feel more predictable when everything else feels too loud or confusing!!!🫠

• i love how special interests come into regression with us

• i love how we can play by lining things up, sorting, stacking, repeating & that is real play!

• i love how parallel play feels natural for us just existing near someone safely without pressure :) age re really allows for this even in online spaces🫂

• i love how our “little selves” aren’t always fully different from our big selves but i also love when they are

• i love how we can be extremely sensitive to many things and how regression can soften that intensity (sometimes at least… lol)

• i love how certain textures can instantly calm us

• i love how safe foods can become grounding rituals

• i love how our bodies show our feelings more

• i love how some of us need more support when regressed and some don’t & neither is “better” (this goes for not regressed too)🩷

• i love how regression can be the only time we feel fully unmasked 🎭

• and that it exists as a space where we don’t have to perform

• i love how trust means everything (who we regress around, who sees us like that)💖

• i love being an autistic age regressor!

• i love that even when i get overwhelmed i have a space in myself that at times feels gentler even with big upset feelings

• i love the autism spectrum and community♾️

• i love that i have seen so many of us in age re spaces

• i love us even though sometimes it’s the hardest thing to deal with!❤️‍🩹

Saw this going around and tested it myself, and I can confirm that this is unfortunately legit. Four hidden bots have been placed in any existing or newly created Discord server that are harvesting data, images, and most concerningly, one seems to be a face swap bot.

Due to them being invisible, banning them from your servers isn't possible without their ID's, which I've typed out for easy access.

1153984868804468756 1288638725869535283 1090660574196674713 1104973139257081909

Banning is done with the /ban command with each string pasted in one at a time. Four ban commands in total.

Image proof below and further information. This was in my PERSONAL server that has existed for +5 years. Discord is harvesting your shit without your consent, fight back.

The answer is yes, you absolutely can! It'll look like this - the numbers you paste will be what's "banned"

However my sibling tried this in her servers and found that One of them was NOT a string of numbers, like so:

And for clarity it isn't a difference in user or device, this is what she got elsewhere:

So if you ban these numbers and the message shows the actual username? Pretty sure that means they were in there.

Very unpleasant way to check the veracity of this post but hopefully this is a helpful tip for anyone who was concerned - my sib would have No Reason to add these in herself and didn't have any clue it was in there.

Personally, I'd say even if you are still worried about misinfo/fearmongering/etc from this post, think of it this way - worst case scenario is you're banning a bot you'll never use or need. Not a person, a bot. There's no real damage done playing it safe and running the ban commands through, aside from maybe losing some time doing so.

when banning, the user id shows up in clyde’s response if the profile has not yet been cached.

i tested this personally. i made a new server, then i banned the first bot, DomoAI. it said the user id has been banned. then i tried to ban it a second time. this time it used its name, not its user id. every time after that it used its name.

in every other server i banned them in, all four bots showed up with their name, not user id. usually when you first start up discord, banning accounts will almost always show up with the user id, because discord is slower than a snail and takes forever to cache profiles. after you give it some time, though, the profiles will show up. you can test this by pinging the user. <@userid>

i did this below. the @ unknown-user is the same user id as all the others. i pinged this BEFORE banning the bot. profile didn’t show up, and the bot was banned with user id.

after i banned it the first time though, it showed up with its profile, because i had already told discord that this is a profile of interest for me, by banning them. so the profile got cached. so no matter how many times you ban them after, the profile will show up, regardless of if its in your server or not.

“No one ever tells you that bravery feels like fear.” — Mary Kate Teske 🦁⚔️🛡️

𓃬 This lion dad will do anything to protect his cub.

Lion dad who wakes up to his baby crying. “Shhh baby, it's okay, come here. Did you have a nightmare kiddo? It's alright, you're safe now. Dad's right here,” he whispers as he pulls his kid into his arms. He won't let anything happen to his cub. “It's okay to be scared. Dad gets scared a lot too, you know that?” he asks gently.

His kid shakes their head sleepily, still trembling from their nightmare. “It's true. Papa has scary thoughts and dreams just like you do. But that doesn't mean we're not brave.” His cub looks up at him and tilts their head in confusion. “I promise, sweetheart. Being brave doesn't mean you never feel afraid. It means that you're so full of courage that you can push through the fear and come out stronger on the other side.” His cub wraps their little arms tighter around his chest and snuggles deeper.

“Let's make a deal, hm? I'll protect you and you'll protect me.”

The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve. 

Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.

If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.

Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.

Other times, some fucker will show up and unironically tell our boss "Toodles!" with their whole goddamned chest
