Apologies to Mr. Zub for what I’m about to say now but I want to point out that this post has been marked as NSFW according to tumblr new guidelines. The same @staff that promised Tumblr will stay a place, and I quote, “to speak freely about topics like art, sex positivity, your relationships, your sexuality, and your personal journey.” and that they will, and I quote, “continue to foster this type of diversity of expression in the community,” decided a scene of a robot coming out as gay/asexual is apparently the same as posting porn. This is why the new changes on tumblr terrify me. Look how easy their sweeping attempts to clear out the blog out of porn can with utter ignorance hit LGBTQ positive content. This is unacceptable!
How about this game pitch: Academy X. A Hero Shooter in style of Overwatch, where you play as students of X-Men. All the matches are framed as Danger Room training simulations, to explain why anyone can fight anyone. The characters are mostly from Academy X era plus few from later books or from Morrison, I imagine the initial roster looking something like this:
There would also be a special mode of combat, an asymmetric battle where one side plays an entire team as usual, but the other gets to play someone from the classic X-Men or a classic villain, this is a type of boss battle where the students have to survive simulated fight with someone who can easily wipe the floor with the entire team.
Would any of you play a game with such a premise?

Marvel be like: Where’s Wolverine? And Spider-Man?! NO NO NO! This will not do!
You could have Wolverine as one of the bosses. Sure it means he is limited to one of the modes of play but it also means person playing him goes 1 vs 5 and has an advantage so I think his fanboys are gonna be fine.
In response to the NSFW ban being enacted by Tumblr Staff, on December 17th 2018 I propose that we all log off of our Tumblr accounts for 24 hours.
The lack of respect and communication between staff and users is stark. Users have been begging staff to delete the porn bot outbreak, which has plagued the website for well over a year. The porn bots oftentimes send people asks and messages, trying to get them to go to a website full of viruses. They also spam advertisements on others posts.
Users have also begged that Tumblr ban neo-nazis, child porn, and pedophiles, all which run rampant on the site. The site/app got so bad that it was taken off the app store.
However, instead of answering the users, Tumblr has instead taken the liberty to ban all NSFW content, regardless of age. But users have already run into issues of their SFW content being marked as sensitive and being flagged as NSFW, not allowing them to share their work.
Not only does this discriminate again content creators, but it also discriminates against sex workers. Disgustingly, the ban will be enacted on December 17 which is also International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.
This ban is disgusting, and while I (and plenty of others) welcome porn bots and child porn being banned, the Tumblr filtration system is broken. It tags artistic work’s nipples as NSFW (when it is art), it tags SFW art as NSFW (when it is not), and does not stop the porn bots, neo-nazis and dozens of other issues.
This ban is discriminatory. This ban is ineffective. This ban is unacceptable.
To protest, log off of your Tumblr account for the entirety of November 17th. Log off at 12 am EST or 9PM PST and stay off for 24 hours. Don’t post. Don’t log on. Don’t even visit the website. Don’t give them that sweet ad revenue.
Tumblr’s stock has already taken a hard hit. Let’s make it tank. Maybe then they will listen to the users.
Reblog to signal boost! We must force change.
I’ll most likely be doing this. I encourage you to do the same.
I don’t know if it will really change anything, but give it a shot. Let’s show Tumblr we are not happy with their constant fuckin’ shitty choices.
Don’t log in for ANY reason on D-Day. No reason. A full 24 hours. Go take a self-care day. Eat some fancy snacks, drink a soda, sit in the tub for a few hours.
I think this is a good idea and I’ll be doing this. My posts are infrequent, but I’ll make sure there won’t be any content and I’ll log out on both my phone and computer for this on Dec 17th. I encourage you to do the same, and to please spread this!
All other Tae theories are invalid. Kotaro got her to be their manager but she never woke up. He’s terrible at his job because he didn’t think he’d be doing it.
Thinking about that part of the first episode where they said about Yugiri being killed in a revolution, makes me think this: She was a Geisha, but a SPY Geisha. Like the Spies in the WWII, she was making perfomances, singing, dancing only for get important info for her people. And, maybe she was found, and punished for that.
Oiran, not geisha. They were competing buisnesses/traditions from what I’ve learned, though oiran were generally often more expensive.
Oiran were on their way out by the time she died, as geisha gained prominence.
I’ve seen even one theory that maybe some geisha put out a hit on her for charging less than other oiran and thus competing more directly.
It puts in perspective that Yugiri was kind of a relict of a bygone era before undeath.
A ton of posts are now being flagged as sensitive content thanks to Tumblr’s new idea to make it adult content free. However, you can request a review so they can fix it. I know it’s tiring, and I know it’s not our fault that Tumblr can’t do a simple thing right, but I refuse to have any of my SFW creations being taken down just because Tumblr doesn’t know how to write an algorithm.
So here’s what you can do, even if you aren’t the OP.
Any post that has been flagged will show something like the image below at the top of the post, even if it’s a reblog.
If you’re the OP, a REVIEW link will show up at the right margin of the red bar where it says “Your post was flagged”. Click on it, and then click REQUEST REVIEW, like the image below.
After you’ll get a message in an orange bar saying “Your post is in content appeal”, meaning they’re evaluating whether their algorithm screwed up or not. If it was wrongfully marked as sensitive (and it most likely was), you’ll get an email being alerted to that your post is now visible to everyone again.
Alternatively, if you aren’t the OP, but your reblogs are flagged as well, (which in this case, you’ll see something like the image below in your flagged reblog), you can message the OP about it so they can request a review.
Please, don’t ignore this! It’s bad enough that adult content is being deleted because Tumblr can’t deal with p*rn bots, but having content that has absolutely nothing to with adult content being deleted as well can be fixed, even if we’re the ones who have to ask for said fix.
I am reblogging this cause I have no idea if any of my content has been flagged, so if it has, just shoot me a message so I can go check it and put it in review!
I rearranged my Monsterland display a couple nights ago – partly because I wanted to add some new lighting, but also partly to entertain Quinn, who fucking loves it when I rearrange shit on my shelves for some reason.
