Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re Working On Some Things That We Want To Share With You. 

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

Headcanon: Scout and Spy go to father-son therapy. The therapists are Soldier and Demoman. Soldier is surprisingly smart and Demoman is very philosophical.

soldier yells at spy a lot. spy does not like therapy.

that’s it that’s the headcanon.

back to tf2 stuff again!

pretty random one, but i feel like demoman would write books in his spare time about the supernatural! he has a very popular book that is about a young boy who is haunted by a ghost. however, he dropped writing after his mother kept saying it wasn’t good enough and didn’t make enough money. after mann. co hired him, he’s had a lot of time to write in between battles. there’s one book about a rivalry between two boys that ends up with the other dead that was inspired by his rivalry with soldier in the War! Update.

TF2 Headcanons: Clones

This has been simmering for a bit, so here is what’s been cooked up so far. 

So basically, the entire BLU team are clones of the RED team. The RED team was doing so well against the original BLU team that they decided to clone the RED team. What better enemy than yourself, right? Well, Blutarch was rather upset with this. In my eyes, Blutarch is smarter than Redmond, but not smart enough to avoid this entire gravel war. He decided that the clones needed to be better than the RED team. Each BLU mercenary will be practically the same person as their RED counterpart, but there are key differences, some of which being their names. Here is the list of changes:

Scout: 

- Not much was changed about him, but BLU Scout was made to be less talkative. It was assumed that Scout’s ability to constantly ramble on would be an annoyance, but they were wrong. Scout’s constant blabbering on the RED team was a key factor in their cooperation.

Soldier:

- They removed his patriotism for America, since they thought his obsession with it was stupid. But since BLU Soldier isn’t patriotic, he doesn’t really have a reason to fight. RED Soldier was fighting for his country against the commies, but BLU Soldier is just a guy with a rocket launcher.

Pyro:

- I headcanon that Pyro is just a flameproof suit brought to life with magic (more on that in a later post). It’s pretty hard to replicate magic though, so BLU Pyro is just a robot. His design was key in Grey Mann’s takeover, as it was the first robot mercenary.

Demo:

- Made him sober. Problem is, what made RED Demo so unpredictable was his drunkedness. BLU Demoman is stronger than RED Demo, with more precise attacks that do more damage. However, he is much more predictable, and therefore easier to dodge. 

Heavy: 

- Pretty much unchanged. He can speak English better though, but that doesn’t do anything since there is no trust on the BLU team.

Engineer:

- More cooperative and less insane. Straight up improvement, except he’ll listen to anyone and everyone on the BLU team, even if they tell him to do something stupid since he’s desperate for appreciation.

Medic: 

- Not as insane. But RED Medic’s insanity is what led to so many breakthroughs on the team. RED was definitely first to discover the power of most Mediguns, since BLU Medic is a tad more squeamish about shoving a heart into a ribcage with no anesthesia.

Sniper:

- Them: “Make him stop pissing in jars it’s disgusting”

Sniper with no Jarate and now down one of his most powerful weapons: “ok”

Seriously though, BLU Sniper just doesn’t scare off the RED Spy as much as the RED Sniper. Piss is the only thing preventing that knife from lodging in his back.

Spy:

- A Spy’s job is to trust no one, and BLU Spy follows that to the end. He will not hesitate to stab all of his teammates in the back. He’ll never come out of his shell like the RED Spy did. But just like Engineer, he seeks appreciation for his job. 

The amount of work and money it took to clone the original team was too much, and they were stuck with these clones. In the end, the BLU team hated each other while the RED team depended on each other. Cooperation is key in an endless war over gravel, and if the BLU team doesn’t master that soon, they’ll soon be having a problem on their hands.

(The BLU team mercs would have the same backstory as the RED team mercs,  their only difference being their names.)

i guess you could say that the real victory was the friends we made along the way-

[ If anyone ever uses these headcanons for anything, I would like credit. I just want to establish some sort of presence on the internet, I guess. I’ve come up with ideas in my head that someone else online writes up a day before I even write it down. ]

plot twist: this is how Herlock confessed

Transcription:

Herlock: ...Love is when two grown ups start craving more than just business handshakes and platonic ice cream breaks. 

Hosonaga: ...What do you mean, Sholmes?

Herlock:  Love makes two people want to go on romantic ice cream breaks and drink all kinds of exotic elixirs and nectars together!

Hosonaga: ...Are you quite alright?

Herlock:  When two grown ups are in love, they'll make joint-bank accounts together and go to the movies together, to feed popcorn kernels to the rats and cockroaches there.

Hosonaga: Do--Do you have a fever?

Herlock:  And one day, if you're lucky, your partner'll take away the kids forever, and go marry Steve, the guy in your accounting firm who works in the same cubicle as you, but makes 6% more per year than you, and you can finally have a good night's sleep.

Hosonaga: Sholmes, what are you implying?

Herlock:  That's love, my dear friend!
