I hope y'all are familiar with these in this day and age, especially my artists out there, because they're incredibly common.
About half an hour ago I posted a drawing and tagged it #artists on tumblr, and very quickly received this comment.
My scam radar went off immediately, due to the generic blog name and lack of any emotion in the comment, but I decided it might be an entertaining venture so I dmed them. They asked for a drawing "of these", and sent me a random selfie. I got the details and told them it would be $15, and they promptly offered me $300. At this point I know it's a scam, but I play along for funsies and give them my paypal. Shortly, they send me this image for "confirmation" (I blocked out my email)
And they began to insist that I checked my email. I looked in my spam folder and found the following email.
This is fake. This is not a thing. And the "you're to refund the $200.00 back" is the scam. They send vaguely official-looking emails at you to "prove" that they sent you the money, then have you send them $200 (or however much the scam is for). Then, surprise surprise, you're out $200.
I continued to play along for a bit, and in the second email "Paypal" told me that I had to refund the $200 before they could "credit the $300 to my account", along with these lovely threats.
And yeah, it's silly. But it's not silly if you don't know and get scammed. So. Spread, please! And thank you very much to @mlaurel for the opportunity to get these screenshots.
"Is it a crime to dream of a homeland? I am not a hero from the pages of a book, nor a fallen star from the sky... I am an ordinary man — once had a life, three little flowers, and a wife whose heart softened with every sunbeam that entered our home. But the home is no more, and the sun no longer visits us as it used to. Now, I measure time by the lines I stand in for water, and count the nights by the sleepless cries of my children — from cold, from hunger, or from a longing for what they’ve never even known. Did we do wrong by being born in Gaza? Is it a sin to hold on to life, to still love despite the ruins? I’m not asking for pity, but for solidarity in pain. My voice is weak, but it is sincere. If it reaches you, perhaps you can make a difference — one that cannot be measured. Help me — not to build a wall, but to build hope. Help me — to give my daughter a device so she can walk, instead of drifting into disability. Help me — because life, even in rubble, is still worth holding on to. Vetted by gazavetters #229"
People are on the right because they can't think for themselves, be it because they've been told what to think their whole lives or because they don't have any good ideas left. Everyone's behavior makes sense to them, but that behavior doesn't necessarily make sense to anyone outside the cult
Part 2: Doesn't work. Danny's parents are freaking out, they already failed once with Vlad (which is how AFO became aware of their work) and if it doesn't work, there is going to be dire consequences (like being turned into Nomus). So Danny goes inside the portal and to fix it (maybe he has some small energy quirk that he thinks will power it/or he's just quirkless), and gets ghost powers. Danny sees what AFO is doing is wrong and keeps his powers a secret so he can start putting a stop to him
the best part about this is actually how it ties to DP and sets itself in the BNHA universe. I could see this happening and it seems perfect!
Ha ha Danny gets to not be normal still
This is why I love Tumblr
at first i was thinking maybe the Waynes got their money from the oversea shipping and railways connected to Gotham's harbour but i think it makes more sense for them to have gotten their wealth else where and for Bruce to spend a significant chunk of his civilian time fighting against the people who own those docks and railways who keep lobbying to lower safety standards and also pay
he keeps trying to buy them out but they refuse to play ball because local regulations over workers are some of the weakest in the country and no one wants to give that up
Makes em harder to steal too
Laughing--Jason why do you have your gun initialed?

Crime Lords are rich though, right? Also, baby names?
Serious question: DC has asked you (yes you 🫵) to write a 10 issue Jason Todd comic run. No conditions or stipulations, any era, any supporting cast, any villain. What do you do?
Kermit for Pope
I was trying to find out if Kermit was eligible to be pope and I found a blog that says he's the perfect example of a catholic priest
Hermes probably does too
Dionysus does drugs
Is this uncommon information?
Yeah. Three years of attempting to draw Ariana Songdrake and I finally figured out her hair last week
nothing more beautiful than finally understanding how to draw your own OC's hair
