I’m sorry you’ve been made to believe that the whole of Africa is poor, I really am..
Honestly, I was looking at Digimon fanart creations, saw that there was more to be found than just on Google, and have been here ever since! NO REGRETS!!!!!!
I really enjoy talking with tumblr users so I thought I'd try posting more prompts to get some conversations started.
I was in a nostalgic mood this week and was trying to remember how I first came to tumblr. It got me thinking that it would be cool to learn other's origin stories. I'll go first.
Even though I'm a big nerd who loves Star Trek (DS9 4 life) and Anime (Fairy Tail forever) it was WordPress that brought me to tumblr. Back in 2010 while in college I worked part time for a WordPress theme shop called Obox Themes. They were looking for new markets and decided that tumblr themes would be a good area to get into. I fell in love with how easy it was to modify my digital home and how there was a whole community of people hacking and releasing themes. Creating a WordPress theme from scratch would have been impossible with my skillset then but with tumblr I could do anything with my handy CSS guide and a few energy drinks.
Over the years what kept bringing me back was the themes. They were funky, weird and sometimes a little broken but who cares. It seemed like the entire web was trying to be grown up but tumblr was Toys R Us, they said it’s ok to be a kid. I loved that. Whenever I felt like I didn’t belong anywhere else I’d come back to tumblr and make a new theme (https://www.tumblr.com/themes/by/nick). I use to love clicking on the installs and seeing what kind of fun folks were using my stuff. What kind of people liked the weird stuff I did. It's your turn. What brought you to tumblr?

the title of the last song you listened to is the epitaph on your tombstone
People who caught it put in the tags what year it was and how bad it was and if you had any side effects
If yes, name the character and media in the tags
The League: *all incredibly exhausted and injured after a battle*
All For One: And so you must climb to the top, taking control so that no one shall ever oppose you or your--!
Kurogiri: Sensei, could you please just shut the [BLEEP] up? I can't stand listening to any more of this [BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!] for one more second.
Everyone: *all staring, jaws dropped*
Kurogiri: ...
Kurogiri: Why is everyone staring at me? Did something just happen?
Kurogiri: ...I think I blacked out.
Everyone: *trying to hold down a sick Shigaraki while Kurogiri tries to shove a spoon full of medicine in his mouth*
Spinner: How can he be so sick but still so strong?!
Twice: Like the economy!
League of Villains: *all strewn across the floor, various tables and chairs*
Shigaraki: *stumbles in, pale and sweaty* Hey, guys...I'm dying.
Dabi: I was dying earlier. Then I died. Now I'm dead.
Twice: *sobs* I'm miserable!
Toga: Twice isn't even contradicting himself...
Shigaraki: *slides down against the wall onto the floor, clutching his stomach*
Spinner: What is this...?
Kurogiri: *stiffly walks in, leaning against the doorframe*
Kurogiri: It's food poisoning. I have it, too. I did not sleep for one second last night. And I vomited no less than seven times.
L.O.V.: *all groan*
Hawks: Oh, God, don't say that...
Shigaraki: Has anybody talked to Compress?
Spinner: Oh, I can't even imagine what that stick is going through...
Dabi: I have vomited more than Mister's body weight in the last twelve hours alone...he may have just disappeared off the face of the Earth!
Toga: *trying to get up* We need to call him, we must reach out to him!
Toga: *falls onto her face, whimpering* I can't...I can't do it.
Kurogiri: *stands up with a groan of pain and exertion, stiffly walks over to the landline*
Kurogiri: *swings his arm, knocking the phone onto the floor before slumping down against the bar*
Kurogiri: Twice, Extension 7820.
Twice: *rolls over to the phone, slowly starts tapping the numbers in with his nose*
Some time later...
Mr. Compress: *saunters into the bar, humming cheerfully*
Mr. Compress: *sees the state of the League* Woah! It smells like vomit died in here! What happened?
Kurogiri: We got food poisoning, Compress. How do you not have food poisoning...?
Spinner: Because he didn't eat anything.
Shigaraki: He just kept taking pictures and talking about the "wow" factor.
Mr. Compress: Not true, I ate everything you all did.
Kurogiri: Think, Atsuhiro. Was there anything you didn't eat?
Mr. Compress: Oh, yes! Those stupid chicken fingers Hawks brought! They're not a proper dinner food at all!
Hawks: *shocked* The chicken...betrayed me?
Hawks: *looks to the League* Never again, guys. As God as my witness, they are dead to me.
Mr. Compress: Alright, well, I feel great, so I'm going to eat some sushi and then get you all some fluids. I bid you adieu!
L.O.V.: *all groan in misery*
Please reblog and add your nationality in the tags along with what you answered! I'm very curious about this; and it's not to shame anybody, so don't be rude!

In a particularly scummy move, the Kids Online Safety Act is going to be put into the must pass end of year spending bill: www.axios.com/…
The two laws best positioned to get rolled into big year-end legislative packages, according to advocates and lawmakers, are:
The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), which would require platforms to guard kids from harmful content using new features and safeguards and to make privacy settings “on” by default for children. The law also mandates privacy audits and more transparency about privacy policies.
At first glance, the bill doesn’t sound bad, since it’s about helping “protect children” online. But like every “protect the children” type law, this would censor the internet of anything “harmful” to children aka any LGBT, NSFW, or whatever the Right doesn’t like, force everyone to upload their govt ID’s to even access anything online, and surveil everyone else. Gutting everyone’s privacy in an era where we see massive state violence and encroaching fascism globally. This is not only pushed by the same people (Senator Richard Blumenthal and Marsha Blackburn) who created the awful EARN IT Act, but also has many of the same flaws, such as pro-censorship, anti LGBT resources and content, and pro-mass surveillance.
But the biggest problem, as Mike Stabile has pointed out, is HOW the mechanism to which this works: The State Attorney General.
This addition would allow states like Texas and Florida to sue companies for having LGBTQ+ content, along with sex education resources, incentivizing these platforms to ban that content. To be more specific, the bill allows the state attorney general to sue if they believe that platforms do not protect minors from a list of harms that includes politicized terms like “grooming” which, as we’ve seen can include any sort of LGBTQ information, entertainment or literature.
RuPaul on TikTok?
A clip on transgender youth on Facebook?
A gay character in a Disney movie?
Suicide hotlines for gay youth?
Cue a suit from Texas or Florida targeting the entire web.
And the problem is that given the current political climate and the cruel behavior of a number of GOP aligned political groups in positions of power, this only ends up making things RIPE for abuse and mass censorship (since companies will probably end up choosing to acquiesce to their demands rather than risk being subject to liability) not to mention the damage this would cause to children who might need resources regarding LGBT or sex education.
Furthermore, the definition of “sexually exploitative material”, “grooming”, and “child porn” has been used in the past year to target transgender people, drag queens, and the wider LGBTQ+ community by likening their very existence as sexually violent. Yet another way this bill’s language will be used to target a community that is already facing violence. Every night, Fox News blasts a story on “sexualization of children “ to fear-monger around the LGBT community. One needs to not look any further than the right-wing ecosystem to see how KOSA would easily be weaponized.
This article by Mike Masnick on Techdirt also goes further into KOSA and its adjacent bills.
To make matters even worse, on top of the usual suspects of NCOSE (a far right group disguised as an anti sex trafficking org, who are infamous for being religious nutjobs who HATE anything to do with sex or LGBT. They used to be called Morality in Media) supporting this travesty of a bill, it’s been revealed that the Senate leader is claiming there’s no opposition.
This is literally giving the fascists a dangerous tool to abuse, all for the sake of political brownie points against ‘Big Tech’. A tool that far right groups like the Heritage Foundation have OPENLY stated will abuse to silence LGBTQ+ or sex-ed content for youth everywhere if it passes.
The ONLY way this works is by making sure who is and isn’t a minor is to have some form of age-verification scheme. And the only way to do that is through a third party like ID.me which has recently come under scrutiny for, you guessed it, data leaks. So everyone who accesses anything online will be forced to upload their govt IDs. How is this protecting anyone’s privacy?
With all that said, what can we do?
Well, the same thing we did for the EARN IT Act; we make a LOT of noise, and get the word out.
And PLEASE call your Senators at (202-224-3121).
There is a call script with phone numbers here.
Fax them, email them. Tell them they MUST oppose this bill. CONTACT any major human rights, LGBT, and cybersecurity related organizations aligned and let them know about this bill, and the harm it can cause to LGBT rights and children!
EMPHASIZE THE HARM TO CHILDREN WHEN YOU CONTACT PEOPLE, SINCE THEY’RE TRYING TO CLAIM THAT THIS WILL HELP PROTECT CHILDREN’S PRIVACY, WHEN IT DOES THE EXACT OPPOSITE.
There’s also a Petition by the Electronic Frontier Foundation and from Fight For the Future.
SO MANY in the Organization have even the possibility of having the Keyblade! And don't forget Demyx and Luxord
Xemnas: Roxas is special af because he’s the only one of us who can wield a Keyblade! I’d like to see any of you chucklefucks try that

What's everyone's favorite Kingdom Hearts song? This series is known for its music, so which one speaks to you?
Everyone: *gathered in the kitchen with Foretellers & Luxu sat at the table and the MoM standing beside a broken coffee maker*
Master of Masters: So. Who broke it?
Everyone: ...
Master of Masters: I'm not mad, I just wanna know.
Ava: ...I did, I broke it--!
Master of Masters: No. No, you didn't. Gula?
Gula: Don't look at me...look at Aced.
Aced: What? I didn't break it.
Gula: Huh, that's funny. How'd you even know it was broken?
Aced: Uh, because it's sitting right in front of us, and it's broken.
Gula: Suspicious.
Aced: No, it's not--!
Ira: If it matters, probably not, but...Invi was the last one to use it.
Invi: *gasp* Liar! I don't even drink that crap!
Ira: Oh, really, then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?
Invi: I use the wooden stirs to push back my cuticles, everyone knows that, Ira!
Ava: Alright, alright, let's not fight, it's my fault, let me pay for it, Master.
Master of Masters: NO! Who broke it?!
Everyone: ...
Gula: ...Master...Luxu's been awfully quiet--
Luxu: REALLY?!
Gula: Yeah, really!
Everyone: *starts arguing loudly*
Later...
Master of Masters: *standing in the hallway with their argument still being heard a floor away* I broke it. It burned my hand, so I punched it.
In a way.....Luxu is telling the truth. He wants to do what's right by defeating darkness, so he follows the Master's plan. It's not really moral, but it is what he considers right. And even with that, Luxu occasionally does show instances of defying the Master's orders, such as with Brain, the True Dandelion (Strelitzia), and Skuld, giving them another chance to live.
You know, rewatching this cutscene:
I'm pretty sure Braig's/Luxu's entire thought process is something along the lines of...
How do I describe a tired person? I got ‘dark circles under the eyes’ but it kind of stops there.
