Carina: " leave them be, they're young, back in my day..."

Baloo: " Don't you dare provoke me."

Dante: " Or what? Can't control yourself around me?"

Joui : " I thought whores weren't allowed in the Order."

Pff, this is incredibly out of context, yeah, no wonder the others were baffled, I suppose they still remembered the characters they interpreted in the Host's trials, but to a person who wasn't there it'd just be confusing.

Oh, right, that's basically how he got that scar, a bit of a silly accident, but children try to eat odd things sometimes, understandable.

I think I can recognize a few people from this picture, Dante in the middle for example, Gal-Sal with a mettalic dragons shirt, priest Ronaldo and sister Thelma near him, Beatrice holding onto Dante's hair, and I think the one with the white shirt near Gal-Sal might be Bruno? Unsure, the one with the slingshot near Gal-Sal is Henri, I think.

I also recognize Arnaldo, though most of these I don't know who they are.

Still, what happened in that place, the day of that fire... I can see why Dante fears fire now.

I imagine it was quite a traumatic event.

" Fun fact:

The first time Dante hit an ally on purpose was not Joui, it was, ironically, Arthur.

He was in shock because Kaiser had been hit by a grenade so Dante went over there and gave him a slap so he'd come to his senses. "

Ouch, come to think of it there were two other people he's hit, Joui and Baloo, Joui's I remember because it was after Dante woke up blind and was worried about Beatriz, they had an argument and Dante hit him, Joui was actually a little shocked since he didn't expect to be hit by Dante of all people.

Baloo's was because Baloo looked into a mirror and was possessed, reducing his sanity to 0, he attempted to attack his teammates and so Dante punched him so he'd snap out of it.

Wow, sounds like he actually did these " snap out of it/stop" aggressions pretty often actually, a bit funny, but at least they had a reason to happen.

Would I eat this pokemon?

Decided to make this based on a video I saw that talked which pokemon are edible or not, the title is self explanatory, might make more of these in the future.

Starting with the Kanto starters, first is Bulbasaur.

Eh... it is Poison type so no, I'd rather not eat a poisonous plant, it is a frog as well, but I'm guessing it is like those poison dart frogs, it probably isn't edible.

Squirtle... they do say turtle meat tastes good, so maybe, I'd feel bad though since it is probably endangered, poor turtle.

Charmander... it is a lizard so it very likely is edible, so sure, I'd be willing to give it a try.

That's it for now, I'd love to hear what you guys think.

🐝Scams to Bee Aware of on Tumblr: 🐝

(posted: 2/6/25 - Updated x/x/xx)

The art commission scam.

Are you an artist? Were you DM'd, sent an ask by a blog with no posts or little to no content, or had a comment on a post asking about a commission and to DM them? Did they ask you to draw their son, daughter, or pet? Did hey offer you $200-$500? If so, you should learn about this scam and how to avoid it.

The sugar baby/daddy scam. / Free money scam.

Did you make a post asking for donations? Did someone DM you wanting you to be their sugar baby or promising you money in exchange for something? Did they tell you that you need to send them money to verify you want to 'do this' or pay for 'shipping' or 'transaction' fees? You're about to get scammed!

The muse scam.

If you post photographs frequently, you may find your posts receiving comments from 'artists' saying how 'inspired' they are and how eager they are to make art or a mural for your work. This is a fake cheque scam and you should avoid it at all costs!

The (read more) / Click here! scam.

If you see a post ending in a link that says (read more...) or Click here! This is an attempt to get you to click a link that will lead to a malicious website in an attempt to steal your information, or possibly even install malicious files onto your phone or computer.

is Now Hiring! Scams. ✨New(ish)✨

See a post like this on your dash or in a tag you frequent? Was the user once a normal user and now they're spamming ads like this in unrelated tags? This likely means that user got their account hijacked by clicking the link via a different post. Avoid clicking links like these at all costs!

HRT Medicine / Therapy services ✨New(ish)✨

This scam is targeting transgender people, and is likely stealing peoples personal information and likely their credit card information. If you see or find a blog like the above commenting on your posts, in #transgender or other such related tags, block and report them immediately. (Selling stuff like this is illegal btw.)

Recovery Scammers.

If you make a post talking about how you've lost money, be it bitcoin, crypto, or were scammed in any sort of way, you may find yourself receiving an ask from a recovery scammer. These are people claiming they can offer 'recovery services' while claiming to be 'ethical hackers' that have 'back end knowledge' to online services. Claiming they can retrieve your money, account, photos, and other such lost items. All you have to do is give them your account information and some money! :) (Do not do this, obviously.)

These scammers also target people who post in #scam and/or other related tags like #scams or #scam alert, posting things like this in the comments on peoples posts:

Dropshipping Websites. (Curtsy of @ai-art-thieves)

See a post of an object or a piece of clothing by a popular tumblr user that has 10k+ notes, does it say 'I got this here!' or '>>GET YOURS HERE<<' at the bottom with a link to a store? That user is a part of a dropshipping advertising scheme and are being paid to advertise these scummy websites. These websites are usually malicious in the manner that they sell cheaply products. In the worst case you'll get a bootleg or flawed product, or even a different product completely, or in even worse cases, you'll never get it at all.

(Or they will steal your information in the case of those shopify websites that popup online with deals you 'just can't refuse!!!' So buyer beware.)

Campaign boost/mutual aid support scams. (By @kyra45)

If you or anyone you know has posted looking for donations, and you receive an ask, DM, or even a comment about someone offering to 'assist you in boosting your account/campaign,' all you have to do is pay them <amount>, then this is a fake check scam you should definitely read up on and learn about to avoid.

Pet donation Scams. (by @kyra45)

See a post about someone needing help with a vet bill? Do they stress the pet is in peril and will die soon? Is their PayPal from the Philippines yet the vet bill is from the United states? Those are just two things to look out for with this scam.

Donation / Mutual Aid scams. (by @kyra45)

One of the most common and well known scams on tumblr to this day. These scams mainly revolve around brand new accounts made within a day or week reblogging very few posts and then suddenly asking for money via donations through PayPal. These blogs will send out the same copy/paste ask en masse to dozens if not hundreds of people, change their name frequently over the course of days if not weeks, and will even lie about being Palestinian, stealing stories from legitimate gofundmes, and even having conditions such as diabetes while not even knowing how it works.

Here is a current list of documented PayPal scammers: Part 3

Scammers pretending to be Palestinian v6 by @kyra45

reblog to reassure the next person who reads this that everything is going to be okay and it’s all going to get easier soon

Gal making this forced smile... definitely reminds me of something else, I admit, seeing that made me flinch at first.

Memories... it also reminds me of how he smiled during his battle, I don't think I want to see a smile like that again.

This moment was cool, I do like chains, heh.

For some reason, Enpap in this fight reminded me... of a creature, a dog fighting for his owner, especially when Henri let go of it's chain, almost as if he was telling a dog " go get them." Or " attack".

When it started panting after severe wounds, saying " En... pap... en... pap..." that also reminded me of a dog, tuckered out, I guess it makes sense considering blood creatures are typically more agressive and beastial, so it being animalistic wouldn't be a surprise.
