This is Thùy Dung, we will call her D., and she will be 16 this year. 

She is a pupil in Amsterdam Hanoi, one of the best high schools located in all of Vietnam. She is described by her friends as a cheerful girl with good grades and an overall nice person.

D. was the third daughter of a family that lives in Ninh Binh, Vietnam in a time that the government strictly forbidden parents who bear more than 2 children. She lives with her aunts and other relatives and only occasionally visit her parents.

When she was 11 he parents sent her to Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam so she can continue her education in a better condition than a small city in Ninh Binh.  She lives with her oldest sister and her husband, along with their 2 children in a house that D.’s parents bought. Sounds normal enough?

But for 5 years she has been continuously abused, physically and mentally by this monster.

She calls him her brother-in-law, who is currently working as a sports news MC for VTV, Vietnamese’s national television broadcaster. What more disturbing is that D.’s family is now currently holding her captive, cutting all outside connection and is using their money and power to turn the blame on to D. and faked the story of her being mentally unstable.

(More info below the cut. Warning: pictures of wounds)

If your commissions are open and you do draw OC’s, please reblog this post! 

If you are not an artist but know of one, please reblog this and tag them or just mention their url in the tags!

an idea where Kenny and Stan(maybe) in a relationship and kenny suddenly die like always but this time stan kill himself since he didn't remember kenny’s curse and thought it would be better to be down there with him

The title says it all really. So if nothing else, please share and reblog this post to raise awareness for those that might be caught out - both artists and followers. For a TL:DR, please look at the bottom of the post

What is happening?

Right now, there is at least one person actively impersonating multiple artists across tumblr in an effort to scam their followers into paying for fake ‘cheap commissions’. The scammer will clone a tumblr, usually using a slight change to the url/account name to look like the real deal. They will then message people directly through Tumblr with messages along the lines of “Hey, i’m doing cheap commissions right now. DM me to get one”. Naturally, this is ends up just being a way to take their money without giving anything back in return.

Who does this affect?

Everyone. Simple as that. As long as the scammer in question works unopposed, they are free to spread their influence and continue to scam more people. Even if you haven’t been targeted yet, it does not mean you are safe or immune. Several artists have already fallen victim to this scammer, and I encourage any artists that have to reblog this post with the details of their affected account(s) and the ones the scammer has set up.

How can we stop this?

Tumblr, like many other social media platforms, seems to care very little about ‘minor’ occurences like this one, and despite reaching out directly to them over a week ago through multiple avenues of contact - they have refused to comment on the situation, provide a recommended response for users, or take action on behalf of those already affected. Despite this, there are still tools at our disposal that we can use to make this scam more difficult, and to increase its visibility to those within Tumblr staff that are required by policy to take action. Tumblr has the following to say on the topic of impersonation: Confusion or Impersonation. Don’t do things that would cause confusion between you or your blog and a person or company, like registering a deliberately confusing URL. Don’t impersonate anyone. While you’re free to ridicule, parody, or marvel at the alien beauty of Benedict Cumberbatch, you can’t pretend to actually be Benedict Cumberbatch. They then provide a link to this online form that you can fill out if you suspect someone’s identity is being confused. Unfortunately, this can only be filled out if you are the victim of impersonation. In other words, only the artists can fill this out legitimately. So, what about the followers and users of tumblr whom aren’t being impersonated? Our most valuable tool in this online platform is the platform itself. It enables us to spread our word near-virally across all the many sub-communities on Tumblr with remarkable efficiency for a user-driven system. We can take advantage of that effect to increase awareness of the situation. Even if you - the one reading this right now - aren’t an artist or don’t know an artist, the act of reblogging this post or sharing it directly with friends improves it’s ‘ranking’ in popularity increasing its chances to be seen by more people. We don’t need everyone on Tumblr to see the post for it to be effective, just like we don’t need the entirety of the human population of the world to be immune to a disease for that disease to be rendered ineffective or eradicated. If enough people are aware, the likelihood of pulling off a successful scam increases dramatically reducing efficiency to a point that it no longer becomes profitable to continue.

Why should I care?

It disheartens me to say this, but of the many artists I contacted directly over the past week to warn about this issue many of them refused to listen or dodged the responsibility with lines like;

“I’m not being impersonated, so it doesn’t affect me”

“I’m just one person. I can’t make an impact”

“I need to take care of my community. Other people can look after theirs”

This is honestly disappointing that so many artists or art-rebloggers care so little as to intentionally wave the responsibility of keeping their followers and fellow artists safe from this, that they cannot spare 10 seconds of their time to share an informative post. I’m not here to bash artists, but it is time that everyone takes responsibility for their own communities, and of those around them. Artists: You have a responsibility to ensure that your followers and fans aren’t being abused by someone who may impersonate you. If they succeed, your reputation will be damaged, and your followers will resent you. Your followers are also almost guaranteed to be following other artists meaning your efforts can spread beyond your own circle of influence, so don’t be naive when you think you have little effect. Followers: You have just as much responsibility to be aware of those that might try to scam you or your fellow followers. Don’t just sit in silence when you see something wrong: Ignoring the issue only makes it more resilient to our efforts to stop it. You are the vocal majority if you just use your voices to be heard!

TL:DR

There’s a reason that in the  relationship section of Cartman and Kyle’s wiki it says Arch-rival, instead of Bully and Victim like some of the south park fandom likes to refer to them as. 

It’s because Cartman and Kyle’s relationship isn’t a bully-victim relationship. I’ve had my good share of bullies growing up. I remember distinctly what the bully-victim relationship is like, as I’m sure a lot of us do.

When you have a bully you don’t go up to him every day to go hang out with him or play video games with him or smile at him. Ever. Most of the time if you have a bully you dread even going to school. You skip some days of school just to avoid him. When you see him walk into the classroom your stomach knots up and you keep your head down and hope to god he’s bored of you. That or, when he confronts you in the lunchroom you’ve already known the moment was going to happen. You’ve thought endlessly about what they’d say to you and what you’d say back, and when the moment comes you jump to say it, your heart wrenched tight and your teeth gritted, hoping with all your might that your aggression will get them to leave you alone.  

I’ve also had a different kind of interaction with another person, that can’t even be remotely described as bullying. In Elementary school there was always this kid named Lorence that I would always come over to and argue with, about absolutely anything. We’d have pretty heated debates about anything and everything and always try to show each other up. That’s how our relationship was. We had a lot of pride and were constantly competing against each other about anything we could think of. But a lot of times we’d just stop arguing and work on a project together or chill out and draw. Because even if we didn’t admit it, even if I never wanted to call him my friend, we enjoyed each other’s company no matter what we were doing.

Lorence was not my bully, and I was not his victim, or vice versa. That is not the relationship we had. What we had was a rivalry.

There’s a reason Kyle and Cartman are never referred to as bully and victim in the context of the show. Because their interaction is not a torment session, it’s a competition.

In Fat Camp, Kyle MISSED how Cartman acted. In Stunning and Brave he ENCOURAGED Cartman to be himself. If Cartman was Kyle’s bully he would’ve done no such thing.

Cartman and Kyle are both rivals. They both seek out the argument and they both keep each other around for the simple fact that they’re entertained by their rivalry. They’ve both gone too far with their competition before, (Tonsil Trouble/ Fatbeard ) and they’ve both wanted each other back. (Smug Alert, Fat Camp, Stunning and Brave.) The reason their going too far has always been extreme is because it’s South Park.

Out of the context of South Park what Cartman does to Kyle obviously sounds pretty bad. But within the context of South Park, honestly, it’s just Cartman going a little too far with his competitiveness. It’s just Cartman eager to win and rub it in Kyle’s face.

Stan and Kenny don’t put up with Cartman’s shit, so they usually fly under his radar. But Kyle just simply can’t let things go when it comes to Cartman. He needs to actively prove him wrong either for a sense of moral superiority or obligation to try and get Cartman to see reason. He’s the only person in Cartman’s life who gives him attention and it makes sense that they both gravitate to each other in their own obsessive way. Cartman craves that positive/opposite attention for mental exercise and stability, while Kyle needs someone to be righteously superior to and ‘fix’.

Cartman appreciates Kyle too in his merits to foil his plans, he found himself in deep deep trouble a couple of times like in Gingervitus, and Le petit de tourette. Both times in some twist of fate, Cartman finds himself a cop out of trouble all thanks to Kyle. There relationship is complex as they serve as a source for each other’s anger. I don’t think it would be the same for Cartman if Kyle was to just up and leave his life, that point was proven in Smug alert. And it shows that he loves it when Kyle argues with him. So, in the end, don’t hate on their relationship that they have, if it evolves more than that then that’s that. Don’t say its a bully vs. victim relationship, its just not in their characteristics on how they work. 

i’ve been waiting this wedding for a while now.
