Hello everyone, this is a post going over the new scam floating around on tumblr where users are receiving DM's (and asks!) containing messages similar to the following:
Visual examples of this can be seen here:
-----
Do note that [tumblr], nor its staff, will ever contact users via asks, comments, or direct messages with issues related to your account.
[tumblr] will only contact you via their official email account that ends in tumblr.com.
[tumblr] will never ask you for money to 'verify' your account, to reactivate your account, to 'fix an issue', or anything similar to the sort.
[tumblr] will never threaten you that if you don't "pay them money" your information will be sent to the police, FBI, ect and you will be arrested for xyz reason.
[tumblr] does not use Discord. Nor do they use any other website than tumblr.com.
If you are contacted by a user who tries to get you to contact a staff member via 'email', a website, on discord, or on another website, this is 100% a scam. Please report the DM, and block the user immediately.
You can also go a step further and report a post the hacked account has made as: something else > unlawful use > phishing, and explain that it is a hacked account trying to perform the <insert scam type> scam.
Providing screenshots is also always a good idea in these situations as well. :)
Now you may be asking: okay, what does this website take you to?
Is it a copy of tumblr to get you to sign in?
Nope! It's much more sad and.. honestly pathetic than that.
It's a fake AI help bot plus a generic 'there was an error with your account. give us your credit card information now please :)' page.
If you notice- there's nothing that asks for anything related to your tumblr account. It's literally just "give us your credit card and personal information so we can steal your identity- I mean fix the issue."
They also set up a fake 'terms of service' popup as well which.. I'm not even gonna get into that. More or less saying things like 'we need this information to verify your account. This includes your name, address, ect.' One of which includes your government ID btw. NEVER give that to ANYONE for ANY reason.
This is a very.. sad, and pathetic attempt at a scam, but I know that people will unfortunately fall for it.
This is honestly no different than those "you have a package from the UPS click here" or "you owe money from a toll both click here" scams you get in texts, and I would think people would know that- by looking at the URL alone, this is not owned nor operated by [tumblr] in any regard.
Please make sure to share this and help others become aware of scams, the more people who learn about scams, the less likely they are to fall for them. :)
Take care, stay safe, and keep helping others.

I’ve seen this scam around Discord too (and have unfortunately fallen for it a while back @.@). Please be careful if you’ve come across something like this and handle it accordingly!
Hi, welcome to the official blog for Shakespearesonas, a Persona fanfic project worked on by @NextTrickAnvils and @sakuradreamerz (along with help from others who will be credited)
As stated before, Shakespearesonas is a fanfic project based on the Persona RPG game series.
In Persona 3, the personas were based on Greek mythology, Persona 4 used Japanese mythology for their personas, and Persona 5 used fictional characters and real people who fit the Picaresque theme. As you can probably tell from the title, Shakespearesona uses various character from Shakespeare plays for the personas.
It originally started out as a grab bag of ideas and suggestions on a persona blog and its askers and then it became more of a proper thing with characters and a plot.
It is still a WIP but I thought having a sideblog could help me and Dreamerz collect our ideas, drawings, fun facts, memes, asks, and maybe build up some interest for when we do finally write this thing. And when that happens, obviously we will post chapter updates.
For now, hope ya'll are interested and support us.

If you guys have been wondering what I’ve been up to lately, Anvil and I have been working on this little project of ours (and so far it’s beeen 4 years since we’ve started?)! X3
I can’t wait to share with you guys what we’ve got up our sleeves :3c
If you haven't already heard of it, I implore you to check out Epic The Musical by Jorge Rivera-Herrans. From the musical artistry, storytelling, vocal performances, and acting, Jorge Rivera-Herrans has it all. It is truly one of the best pieces of art that I have ever experienced. The emotions that it invokes are truly something that needs to be experienced. The Underworld Saga just dropped today, so check it out!
Ok, I’m doing it!
These will probably be random AF and sporadic because life is nuts, BUT HERE:
Esther’s Honkai Star Rail Headcanon 1-3:
1: In her regular verse, Esther would more than likely find out about realm of Honkai Star Rail, nonetheless about the Astral Express and the famous Nameless through Anna. Unlike in her time in Teyvat, one of Anna’s sisters DOES live in the HSR universe and Esther chooses to explore that world/the worlds there out of her own desire to find her own home.
2: Her HSR verse is split into 3 paths- the only consistent detail is that she and her mother used to be a citizen of a stellaron infected planet. Said stellaron infected planet was one that the IPC performed one of their ecological reconstruction project’s on…and it was one of the 37% that failed. At 14 years old, Esther managed to escape the crumbling planet before it imploded, boarding an escape shuttle one of her mother’s friends owned by said family friend. Her mother however stayed behind to protect whoever she could from the Antimatter Legion…and she watched from the shuttle as her mother, along with those who stayed behind or couldn’t make it out died from the planet’s destruction. The family friend that survived along with her took care of her like their own daughter would, traveling from planet to planet to find a safer home from them, but died from an illness when Esther was 17. But they didn’t leave Esther defenceless.
Both her mother and family friend trained Esther in using both a bow and a sword, first to hunt wild animal like monsters on their planet, then to bounty hunt post-planet loss. But all alone now, where would the free Esther’s path lead?
HSR VERSE 1, Headcanon 3:
Takes place a few years after the family friend’s death. Esther still roams alone, doing all she can as a nameless bounty hunter (she signs her name with a flower like stamp) to survive. She doesn’t really know where she’ll end up, and she’s never told anyone about her past. She’ll be on her guard most of the time. She silently wishes to find a home not controlled by the IPC.
HSR VERSE 2, Headcanon 4:
In this verse, she crosses paths with the Astral Express, nonetheless asks if she could board the Express and travel with them as a Nameless. She wouldn’t be used to traveling with others, nonetheless have a consistent place to find food or a place to sleep or her own space. Maybe the journey with them could help her open up more.
HSR VERSE 3, Headcanon 5:
In this verse, Kafka and the Stellaron Hunters seek Esther out specifically, citing her priceless skills as a bounty hunter and her desire to punish the IPC for destroying her home. It takes some time, but in the end, Esther accepts, eventually becoming a masked assassin/sniper working under the codename Artemis.
Headcanon 6:
No matter what verse, Esther’s path would always follow the Path of the Hunt and the weapon she would use would be a bow-blade. Her element however would vary between her normal verse and her HSR verses. In her normal verse, her element would be Wind to match the Anemo Vision she received from her adventures in Teyvat, whereas her HSR verses chosen element would be Ice.
You need rest. more than anything, you must allow yourself rest. Death is frightening– it is inevitable, it is unstoppable– but, it can also be a thing of great beauty. it is an agent of change. It is the forest fire that paves way for new life. Allow yourself this rest, and be prepared for the change to come. Brace yourself. It will be hard, it will not be kind, but you are more than ready. You just need to rest first.
NUMBER: 13
UPRIGHT: endings, change, transformation, transition
REVERSED: resistance to change, personal transformation, inner purging
BTW if anyone wants to learn more about Shakespearesona or the characters that @sakuradreamerz and I came up with or just general info. My ask box is open. Just uh, be aware that I ain't giving out spoilers. ;)
I'm also down to answer any questions regarding Shakespearesona characters or the story ^^ Like Anvil however, I'll be tight lipped on story spoilers :3c
OC October Day 1: Home
Sora Natsuki and their little brother, Aijiro look over the place that's going to be their new home for the next year.
Welcome to @oc-tober2023 where I give some love to Shakespearesonas and maybe hopefully this will be the kick in the pants I and my creative partner need to make progress on this thing.
I admit that I traced the buildings but ya know, buildings are hard. ;_;
reblog to give the person you reblogged this from a little pumpkin 🧡
Hey guys...I know I haven't really posted anything here in a couple of months.
Let's just say it's been...a bit of an anxious rollercoaster. A rollercoaster that seems to be slowing down somewhat.
A lot of personal issues arose (nonetheless the stress and anxiety that arose from it)...and with it I decided to take a step back from RPing.
Even though they are starting to settle down a bit, I've decided to keep my semi hiatus/hiatus status in effect.
I will still be lurking, and occasionally post/reply to RP's, but for the most part I will be taking a break.
I hope in the future I'll be able to be more active but for now, life comes first.
GO OFFF
Ok so I’ve been playing for 18 years and i’m a string teacher. Can i just say how IMPORTANT it is for young kids to see a BLACK, MALE-PRESENTING PERSON playing, nae, SHREDDING on a violin? I’ve know maybe 5 black people who played stringed instruments throughout my schooling and teaching (predumably because i’m an upper middle class white woman). In districts where the population is predominantly black, funding is always low, so the instruments are crappy. Kids quit, or the program is dismantled. I’ve seen very few professional string players who are black.
Obviously there are black string players. We just don’t see them because they “don’t look like” string players.
This person is the real deal. They were clearly trained, and seems to have some fiddle training as well. How cool is that?
Bard ready to slay!
Bard, schmard. That dude is double-classing as a tank and a sorceror.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
“Please. You’re safe from Mother Nature in here. At this rate you’re going to make me feel nervous.” It’s likely far from reassuring, but the master would be remiss if he didn’t speak out his concern while in the walls of his own home. Ironic, that.
Diluc had gathered a few things about this timid girl he’d encountered out near the road. For one thing, she was without a vision otherwise there’d be no reason to carry so many weapons directly on her person. A fantastic boon when being gifted such a focus of power, accompanying strength notwithstanding. During the years he travelled Teyvat it was something sorely missed, fortunately he travelled light. Claire it would seem, had no choice.
“It's nothing to be concerned about. Nor do I plan to keep you from wherever your travels take you once the rain clears. Presuming you are a traveler. Your weapons and attire aren’t like those one might usually encounter in Mondstadt at least.” The fact she didn’t seem to know who he was added some credence to the guesswork. Curious the types of folks that came through. Perhaps the style in which she drew might have clued him in sooner? The shortcomings of his artistic acumen. It may be something he never matches his father in.
“But that wasn’t my question. I was curious if art was your calling. You saw some of my… father’s collection when you entered the manor, yes? I’ve taken it upon myself to commission those that I encounter, as a way of supporting the arts as he did.”
That...wasn't exactly why she was worried about the thunder...still, Diluc's attempt to reassure her had her crack a small twinge of a smile.
Her? Making him feel nervous?...That would probably be the first time someone's said that to her. That aside, she kept her focus on him as he spoke...not on the rain dancing outside the windows nor the thunder that could return at any moment.
No surprise there...
The only people who's attire was similar to Claire's were back in Nohr. But this wasn't Nohr, Hoshido, not even Valla. She already knew she stuck out like a sore thumb the moment she set foot in Monstadt's main city; Diluc's comment about her attire and weapons only confirmed her suspicions.
But she still kept listening.
There's a flicker of surprise in Claire's eyes. It...wasn't exactly what she expected when it came to what he was going to ask her.
Still...her calling...
...
...
...
A pause. Both her voice and her mind were silent. Her brow furrows, hand placed quietly under her chin as her eyes flicker downwards.
...My calling...what would be...my calling?...My desires?...Or something else?
A few seconds pass...a moment still before she attempted to answer.
"I....." Her voice tinged with uncertainty...lost in thought. But she tries again.
"I...don't...exactly know. I've...never been asked...that, before. In regards...to my art I'm...not sure, either."
The mention of 'collection'...How could she forget the multitude of colors used on the foyer's paintings? They were larger than she had expected, but...
Did...so...his father...
"Your father...painted the collection?"
