With this blue whale shit going around, I just want to say that I love you all so much.
For those who don’t know what the blue whale game/challenge is, it’s basically a game that drives the ‘player’ to suicide after 50 days of self-torture.
If anyone sends you a link that you haven’t been expecting, even if you know the person DO NOT CLICK ON IT! If you get calls from a number you don’t know, DON’T ANSWER IT! You are being put on a list to play this ‘game’.
My school had just made an announcement to say to NEVER click on links you may not be expecting even if it’s from someone you know.
It is said that the game has claimed 130-150 lives already around Russia and is spreading.

If you want to talk to me, contact my other blog, mystiicmanaged.
I love you all so much and I genuinely care about your well being.
There’s an app/game/challenge going around called Blue Whale, a sick game encouraging teenagers to self harm and commit suicide. PLEASE Do not engage with any suspicious links or requests to play this game. Don’t ask to play this game.
Common tags I’ve seen relating to Blue Whale are
#blue whale #im ready #blue whale challenge #blue whale game #f58 #f57 #wake me up at 4:20 #i_am_whale; usually posted on various pictures of whales flying through a misty sky
If you see anyone asking to play, or using these tags on any social media, or if anyone you know may be playing this “game”, PLEASE report their account and call the authorities. You could save a life.
“this suicide challenge which goes by the names of The Blue Whale Game, A Silent House, A Sea of Whale, Wake Me Up at 2.40 am
Catherine wants to make people more aware about how important it is to be aware of these issues.
She knew him for 20 years. He worked as a police officer. 90 days as a punishment is such a pathetic sentence. Total rubbish. this guy is evil and who knows how many victims of his assaults have stayed unknown. What a scums serve in the law enforcement…
Please share.
If you have children or even young siblings living with you then this is definitely something you need to do
Many non-tf2 fans may be asking “What the flipping hell is going on right now?” Well….
TF2 is not only a very fun game, it also has a lot of lore. Many characters, revealed only through the TF Comics, a huge and wonderful world explaining the life and world the game characters live in and, above all, explaining why they fight. The whole hype is about the 6th issue. This comic had been delayed for over one year, until we got the amazing news:
But what this post is mainly supposed to be is an invitation. Before this week ends, before the 6th comic comes out, I invite you to read all the 5 previous comics, the catch up comic, the update comics, and who knows, maybe you’ll even get interested into the game!
The reposting of art is a big problem in many fandoms, but that doesn’t mean we should be complacent in ours! Here is a guide on what reposting is, why it’s bad, and how to help stop it!
What is reposting?
Reposting is when someone takes a creation, usually a piece of art, and posts it to their own blog/profile without the original creator’s knowledge, permission, or accreditation! The most common kind in the Hetalia fandom is the reposting of art from sites like Pixiv, but there are other kinds, such as reposting people’s cosplay photos or re-uploading their MMDs/animations!
Why is reposting bad?
A lot of people don’t know that reposting is bad, or don’t realise that it’s not creators being pedantic! It is a form of stealing! Creators have the rights to their creations, and by reposting their creations without their consent, you are violating those rights! Reposting a creation you commissioned is bad as well, since you have only bought the creation, not the rights to it!
Is it okay if I source the creation/say it’s not mine?
No! You are still using the work without consent, and therefore still violating those rights! While it’s good you’re not claiming it as your own, that’s no excuse!
What if I found the picture through Google/it’s been reposted before?
That’s not okay either! Google takes pictures from everywhere–just because it’s there, it doesn’t mean the creator has given permission for it to be reposted! As well, if you found the picture reposted on another site, it isn’t okay for you to repost it again! Two wrongs don’t make a right! Try to find the original source through Google’s reverse image search or sites like saucenao!
What about editing creations?
There are other forms of reposting that aren’t straightforward re-uploading, like editing, but they still infringe on creators’ rights!
Editing artwork without permission: editing art is still unfair usage of the work, and an infringement on the artist’s rights, unless they have given permission! Fortunately, Himaruya allows the editing of his own artwork, and there’s plenty of it on his blog (new blog/English version)! You can also use artwork from the anime! Just be sure to get this artwork straight from the source and remember not to Google it, since many artists can perfectly imitate Himaruya’s style or that of the anime, and you don’t want to end up using their art by accident! This goes for icon makers too–never use non-official art for icons!
Editing photography without credit: a lot of people are more lenient with photography, but the photographer still has the rights to it like an artist with their art! Make sure to at least source and credit any photography you use to its author, and especially avoid using photography with people’s faces in them, photographs that are personal to the photographer, and cosplay photography! Try to use photographs from sites like Wikimedia Commons, where you can edit the photography under fair use, as long as you credit where it came from (this is true for most pictures, check the author’s terms of usage)! This goes for aesthetic makers, too!
What can I do to help?
If you see someone reposting or editing creations without permission, approach them politely via the messaging service or ask system, and explain to them that reposting is wrong–you can even send them a link to this post, if you like! Then, advise them on what to do next (e.g. deleting the reposted art, editing using Himaruya’s art, etc)! Even if they don’t understand or don’t think they’ve done anything wrong, try your best to keep explaining the situation to them! However, if they refuse to co-operate, feel free to tell us who they are! We’ll either contact them ourselves or, as a last resort, make a public post warning people not to reblog from them!
If you need a template to work from, here’s one a creator provided us with that they always use:
Hi! So I noticed you post some Hetalia fanart and various pictures that you have not drawn. You also do not have the original artists’ permission to post them on tumblr. This is considered reposting, and it’s not a good thing. Saying ‘Google’ or things like that are the source is also not a good thing. If you didn’t draw it, don’t upload it! It’s a common courtesy in all fandoms. Even if you really like the art, if the artist has not let you post it elsewhere – even if you found the picture through Google or similar – it isn’t nice because the artists have no idea where their work has ended up. If you could delete all of the unsourced art please, that would be really appreciated! It’s what is fair to the artists. If you really like the art, you can follow the original artists themselves! Some are here on Tumblr, but most of the work you have reposted comes from Pixiv. Consider getting a Pixiv account, then! Thank you 🙂
Either write something similar, or change this so it fits the person you’re messaging!
How to repost with permission!
If you still really want to repost creations, then please do it with the creator’s permission! Here’s a guide on how to do so specifically for Pixiv artists! And here’s a guide also for Pixiv artists, but it has a lot of other resources too! If you’re too scared to ask an artist yourself, however, then try telling other Hetalia bloggers who repost with permission about the art! They might be able to get permission and post it themselves! Preferably, though, get an account on the site the creation was originally posted on, and show your appreciation for it there!
Doesn’t have to apply on Hetalia only. It goes for everyone.
Smissmas yay! Boost this please?<3 I want as many people in the TF2 fandom as possible to see this!!!!
I want to give out some gifts to the Team Fortress 2 fandom this Christmas and by that I mean fanfiction 🙂 I’m already working on a few.
So if you want some TF2 fanfiction just send me an ask, if you’re shy and on anon I’ll just say it was from an anon but if it’s public I’ll make sure to tag you in it when it’s done!<3
Almost anything at all, even if it’s something I don’t ship, often write, etc. with a few exceptions that I will privately message you about if it’s a problem.
No smut but things typically seen as NSFW (things like gore) but not 18+ I will write.
(hurt/comfort and HeavyMedic is my fav things to write just putting that out there hehe)
YO PSA!!!
If you get a link like this from one of your tumblr buddies, DON’T OPEN IT!!! IT’S NOT THEM THAT SENT IT!!!! IT’LL FUCK UP YOUR TUMBLR AND SEND THE LINK TO OTHERS ON YOUR ACCOUNT.
EDIT: Shit! I might have to make a new account. This is screwing up my tumblr and one of my side blogs has been deleted.
Too bad I didnt see this sooner. If you get some random message from me guys, heres a thing.
Psa guys! Just in case! Also if you do open the link DO NOT SIGN IN! it’s a phishing technique that sends your email and password to the phisher.
When I was a child, from the time I was about four and could understand things, my mom told me and my brother that we should have a secret word. That way, if we were ever in trouble or felt unsafe and we didn’t want the people around us to know we needed her to come get us, we could let her know. So she let us pick the word and my brother and I chose the phrase “peanut butter cups.” (I’m happy to share the phrase now since both my brother and I are adults now).
I used the phrase twice in my life. Once, I was at a friends house when I eight years old. Her dad got really drunk and was throwing things against the wall. I was really scared and I didn’t want to draw attention to myself on the phone when I called my mom to come get me because I didn’t know if he would get more violent if I asked her to come get me. So I called her and was calm and after a couple minutes I asked “Hey mommy, did you get me those peanut butter cups from the store?” And she said “I’ll be right there.” And she came and got me within minutes.
Second, I was a teenager spending the night at a friends house. Her brother and dad were drinking and they started talking about things that made me uncomfortable – ie: what they liked to do to women. My friend didn’t seem perturbed and said that was normal for them and that I shouldn’t worry. But I was worried because they were really drunk and I was 15 and the only ‘woman’ around that wasn’t related to them. I went in my friends room, told her I needed to call my mom and say goodnight. Before I hung up with her I asked “Next time we go to the store, can we get some peanut butters cups? I’ve been craving them.” And she came and got me, just like that.
Two incidents, one as a young child, one years later as a teen. Don’t discredit this stuff, it fucking works. My brother used it a few times too. Let your child pick the word and no never, ever, ever, ever get mad at them for using it no matter what it is.
