But What If They Were Friends

but what if they were friends

[id: 4 sketches of miles and spot. in the first, they’re both wearing civilian clothes; miles in his hoodie and jacket, and spot in a hoodie, glasses, mask, and hat. miles is gesturing to him, saying “this is my friend, …..patrick. he’s normal.” spot adds, “mhm. yep. just a normal, regular guy,” while doing the thumbs up. the second image is a comic, where miguel in full costume is running towards miles and spot. spot has his hands up defensively and is saying “uhhhh”. in the second panel, miles jumps into one of the spots and emerges above miguel to punch him in the face. spot hunches over defensively, screaming. the third drawing is also a comic, with miles going up to spot and saying “hey, man, we make a pretty good team!” spot responds, “heck yeah we do! high five!” but when miles high fives him, his hand goes through a spot, jabbing spot in the back of the head. he says “OW” as miles says “oooh, sorry.” the final drawing is of miles and spot sitting together, eating hot dogs and chatting. end id]

WRITE THE STORY

Oreca Battle, Oreca Battle! Wonder why Culann's looked batween shock and ready to laugh-

I dunno how reblog works other than the usual tags aaaaaa-

AFTER PROCRASTINATING ON MAKING THAT THUMBNAIL FOR SO LONG, I FINALLY UPLOADED THIS RIDICULOUS FIGHT AGAINST THE RED DRAGON-

The video is vertical, so viewing on phone is much more recommended Also, accuracy on the subtitles are dubious at best, I don't really trust myself in all honesty-

Anyway, please enjoy the video, it was one of the best & ridiculous fights I've had with Oreca Battle-

the suffering never ends

How to turn off AI Training of your content on Web and Mobile:

On a Web Browser:

I had some trouble finding this option. My first instinct was to click the settings button on the left, but that's where it is!

First, you'll click the name of your blog on the left sidebar to bring it up on your browser.

Then click "Blog settings" on the right sidebar once your blog is brought up. That's where they're hiding it.

Click "Prevent Third-Party Sharing" under the Visibility section, and bam! You're done.

On Mobile:

Thankfully it's much easier on mobile. Just click the Gear icon on your blog's page, to go to settings.

Scroll all the way down until you see Visibility, then toggle the Prevent third-party sharing option for your blog!!

If you disable this setting on mobile, it automatically synced it to my web browser settings, too. ...But if you use both Web and Mobile, I would still highly recommend double checking that it actually turned off on both!!

Check that it's turned off on your side blogs too! And check your settings every now and then anyway to ensure that it's staying turned off, because if my memory serves right, some other websites will pull some shenanigans on things like this and opt you back in without telling you!

Leave Feedback on New Features at Tumblr Support Here!! Let Staff know however we can that having our content fed to AI at their whim is unacceptable.

And if you have the option to poison your art with Nightshade or Glaze, keep it up!!
