残念ですが、さようなら

ive been really truly fed up with a shawl project that is slowly making me go evilmode so i took a break to make a matching beret to the shawl i made @insecateur a couple of years ago. zelos was so kind as to model it for me and really it's going to be hard to look better in it than he does.

the pattern is euglassia watsonia and the yarn is an acrylic that is still from my "bought when i was working at michaels 10+ years ago" stash. there's still half a ball of it and i have no idea what to do with it so i guess i'll come back to that at some point! and now my @2026-fiber-arts-bingo square for "make something red" is done 🎉🎉

My contribution to the edgy yuri agenda. While joining an actual art trend? Years later? Crazy . I tried keeping it minimal like my previous madoka drawings dk how that went but it was a very easy one

The Tube Post has been updated for 2026! Endless thanks to @andstuffsketches for the amazing art (!!!), @rowenabean for checking this over for me (all remaining mistakes are my own), @kelpforestdwellers for extra tips, and @appleyblam for an editing pass. Thank you all!

but it's an entirely new level of tragic when somebody you've actually spoken to gets turned into a bot account. it's like peeking at a zombie apocalypse through the window and realizing one of the shambling corpses was your friend.

and then the zombie catches sight of you, lurches up to your window, and shouts through the glass that they accidentally reported your account to tumblr and you'll be deactivated unless you click this link.

if you get something like this ↑ they're gonna follow up by instructing you to contact tumblr support on discord and give you contact info; or they're gonna link a website that looks sort of like tumblr support and say you have to email them; or any variety of "you must now contact tumblr, here is how you contact tumblr."

whatever they send you, it Does Not lead to tumblr. it leads to the master zombie that bit them and inducted them into the ranks of the undead, and will bite you the second they have your email and password. i might be confusing zombies and vampires. anyway,

it's easier to fall for these messages because the blog doesn't LOOK like a bot blog, because it ISN'T a bot blog. it's a normal person's blog that got accessed by a bot, meaning the blog's content CLEARLY looks like a real active user when you click on it. and yes—it might even be a blog you already know. sometimes bots like this go down a blog's DMs or reblogs and message people they've previously interacted with.
