FNAF 2 - Iconic Duo

raah! creatures!

As a former cakewrecks lover, I figured sure, I’ll bite. Let’s see this cake. Literally nothing could have prepared me for this cake. 

They paid $49 for this “frog-themed” cake and honestly no amount of money in the world could be put on this masterpiece:

- Fuck pawns knights bishops and kings

The web was built on a model where the website sends you content and a suggestion of how to render it - to give users the freedom to interact with it however they choose. Since then, there's been a battle between corporations and this principle as they use every trick they can come up with to force you to render the content the way they want you to.

The most effective way that corporations have achieved this is with apps. Paraphrasing Cory Doctorow[1], an app is just a website that its illegal to mess with. So many of the notes are people saying "i wish i could block youtube ads on my phone/smart tv/game console". this is a problem, and a bad sign of what to come.

another thing that makes this concept technologically feasible and socially acceptable in my opinion is face id. Having a camera scan your face automatically before letting you progress has become normal. Its common to put tape over your webcam, but nobody puts tape over their phone camera. Somehow, we've been trained to view it differently. more broadly, I dont think the web is meant to be profitable. The old internet was full of small forums run at a loss fueled by the passion of their creators. When corporations moved in down the road with enough money to drive the forums away and take over, those corporations still didnt turn a profit. and they havent for a decade. Now they're getting desperate and they're going to extract as much as they can from their users to try and recoup those costs. Your outrage over the concept of this is important. Visible backlash to hostile practices works. its important that we all say Fuck That loudly and often. Youtube is adding a five second delay for firefox users: I read about this immediately after making the original post. this is such a brazen move by google. I hope they get in some serious shit for leveraging one monopoly to bolster another but im not familiar enough with international law to know if thats likely.

Regardless, google has been showing their hand lately with so many hostile decisions. Their only leverage is their user base. Don't help them. Switch to firefox. if you need to, you can make firefox pretend to be chrome for specific websites Ads are getting worse / loud ads in asmr videos / pragerU and other evil ads: Ad blocking still works! please use an ad block! install ublock origin! Youtube is working hard break ad blockers but the ublock devs are working harder to keep them working. you just need to update the filter lists every now and then. here's a guide I still want to support creators: Find a way to support them directly! youtube is a notoriously unreliable income source. Check how the creator you want to support would prefer you support them. Chucking them a few bucks once will go a lot further than watching ads.

Piss kink references: Thank you tumblr for being tumblr. A lot of the replies have been pretty heavy so these silly responses have been surprisingly refreshing.

I highly recommend Cory doctorow's defcon talk about the state of the web and how we can fix it. it put words to things i'd been feeling for a long time and introduced me to new ways of thinking about some of this stuff. Its linked at the bottom.

Its been wild having this post break containment like this. Tumblr is my place for shouting into the void and im used to most of my original posts not getting much traction (which is fine, or maybe even the point). the concept of over thirty thousand people reading something i wrote is hard to even conceptualize. I wasn't at all prepared for this but its touching that so many people resonated with my anger and frustration.

One month hence... the horrors begin.

And in the meantime, check out the prompts!

Aaaand also the Info Page. There's a pretty good chance any question you might have is answered there. (And for the questions that aren't, here's our askbox.)

Happy brainstorming and happy creating! We will see you all very, very soon. After all- you do know you can't leave, right?

Right?

Oh, well, too late now!

i'd also be president

this would make a damn good tag game like i wanna see other childhood dream careers

tagging @clover-honey-and-lemons @ch1ckpeapancake @panic-like-the-disaster-you-are @dorianslayyy

i hate those ideas now

(Also a shark but we dont talk about that)

for me, even at a young age, i just wanted to have a stable job 😭 but sometimes i did want to be a writer as a side job!

Thats actually still what im gonna do, this is plan a

Plan b is sth different

It’s been a strange journey trying to be that but I’ll keep trying hahasghshs.

An actor, I guess.

I've always liked seeing people act on tv-screens; movies, series and even voice acting. It creates and entire new universe that absorbs the watcher into it.

Now, I'd still want to be part of a great production, even if not as an actor- (I can't act- I'm shit at it--) Maybe even with costume designs or something. (I used to love designing clothes too.) I love the efforts behind the scenes like in Witcher or LOTR.

…Unfortunately I never had a career I wanted as a child…

But I wanted disney characters to be real and comfort me just like in sofia the first

I’d be a hero 😎

Ok- I used to think heroes and fantasy were real you can’t blame me!! I was only 5 😭 tho “hero” being a career would be fun!!! If only it was real 😔

I had some wild az dreams. 💀

Marine biologist and/or palaeontologist were the big ones, the latter because of Mary Anning (yes I’ve always been a nerd, why do you ask)

Younger me wanted to be a doctor, a chef, a veterinarian, or a zoo keeper.

More so, a veterinarian, I even had a Barbie vet clinic.

Uh, hey, guys you down to answer?

@milk-powrit @caramelcheesegay @kat-kitty-kat-kat-kitty-kat-kat @the-human-sharpie @the-pickle-jar @nepper-peppers @clovrplayz @m4lakaii @snickledoodlesstuff

let's see............ i always wanted to be a cop, but uhhhhhhhh jesus christ i am SO glad i gave up on that

Basically because I thought it would be a good tool to suck attention (all those children look up to you and stuff). I might have a patience for that, but I also have A LOT of overprotectiveness and no trust in hidden potential...

TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME

I wanted to be a worm scientist

I wanted to teach them to talk…

I wanted to be a singer, artist and at one point even an Olympic swimmer. Take that as you will. I was one ambitious child :'D

tysm for the tag anna!! :D

uhhhh awkward but. i'd be a doctor or a vet- considering how bad i am with icky stuff tho whoops *sweats* AKSBAK

If I remember correctly I’d be a ballerina :D (but now thinking about this… this would suck because my health is not that great for being a ballerina)

Tagging: @mimocrocodilelol @makshu @queko @techn0tony @thatonekidwholikespurple @mknd and anyone who wants to!

If I recall correctly, the first job I was interested in was being a veterinarian specifically for cats (I've always really liked cats hehe)

Tag chain! (no pressure) @donnies-low-empathy @bicycleshoestringz @fluffyrocky

Tag chain!(no pressure and I'm sorry if I tagged someone who was already tagged)

I wanted to be an evil scientist who was going to take over the world-

No pressure tags :

@buggy-cj,@al-has-issues,@oleander-nin

FORGOT THE TAGS

do with that what you will

@hypocriticaltypwriter @unnamedindividual @lxdymoon0357 @ramblehour @saltydoesstuff

Id be an Astronaut as well as a volcanologist... Being a ballerina on the side! 🤭

I wanted to become an animator and work at Walt Disney animation studios😭

i wanted to be president (:

So

I'd be a dragon and also a boy since as a kid i didn't want to do anything or be anything else then that (also i thought that species or gender were the same as jobs and that you could change them whenever you wahted. Sigh i wish that were true)

So uh

I would be a film producer cause I’ve always loved films even as a child

I remember I really loved going to the zoo and aquariums as a kid, and that I originally wanted to be an animal trainer!

As a kid I wanted to be an actress, so I think I’d be that! 🤣

I'd have been a vet lmao. Average 5 year old moment.

I'd be either a vet or a teacher
