Master List and About Audio Files

ALL AUDIO CONVERSATIONS ARE FINISHED. There are only 5 missing and they are not posted because of breaking tumblr’s content rules.  (These are the racism towards Javier and Charles, Lenny’s pocket watch and the Bill/Kieran audio for violence.)

Every single newspaper, side mission journals, drawings, bounty hunting notices, letters and more have been posted. I am willing to accept audio requests for certain types of files, but no guarentees. Check profile rules for written requests! : ) I am currently working on transcripts for all the audio files. Note: This is now a multi-fandom blog! Fandoms include Marvel, DC, Dragon Age, Anne Rice, Star Wars, (SWTOR), Baldur’s Gate, to name a few. 

The Brightest Star

Pairing: Yelena Belova x Reader

Summary: After a heated argument, Yelena makes it up to you.  Fluff & Tiny Angst

Warnings: None | 1.3K

Translations:lyubov' (love), dorogoy (sweetheart)

You heard the door to your shared apartment open and close, alerting you that Yelena had finally come home after storming out after a heated argument. It wasn't often that you both would fight but this time, it was a big one. You felt a growing distance between you both and it worried you more than you thought it worried Yelena. She'd had a tough mission last month and things just didn't seem the same, even when you tried to get her to talk to you about it, she would just snap at you or ignore you before leaving the room. 

More Abigail Roberts content please!!!!

Like now, right now!!!

Also, more Tilly Jackson!!! I rarely see any headcanons of her; she's appearing in more and more art (which is great), but some writing would be nice.

I've only really seen @scarfacemarston do content about Abigail, and that's great, but I wish there was more.

...Fuck it, I'll do it myself.

I feel honored to be noticed! I’m trying to set up a new mater list and I have so much Abigail that I have to add. (Stuff I posted but I’m collecting.)

Im happy to keep writing requests, but I agree there should be more! My thing is that so many people write her as mean. : ( That’s part of the reason why I started doing it myself.

I also hardcore agree about Tilly. I’ve written meta about her and some modern hc, but nothing that is prominently her which I should change.

There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.

A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.

I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.

Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)

Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.

SUPPORT BELOW 50% OF THE THRESHOLD IN THESE COUNTRIES:

Bulgaria - 35% Croatia - 45% Cyprus - 12% (!!!!) Czechia - 47% Greece - 27% Italy - 41% Latvia - 43% Luxembourg - 20% Malta - 11% (!!!!) Romania - 48% Slovakia - 47% Slovenia - 38%

SEVEN countries out of 27 have met the threshold so far. Deadline is 31st July, 2025.

This should absolutely be the law <3

It very much should. Here's an update on the numbers as of April 2025.

COUNTRIES BELOW 50% OF THRESHOLD:

Bulgaria - 36.8% Croatia - 47% Cyprus - 12.8% Czechia - 48.8% Greece - 31.7% (some progress!) Italy - 44.8% (a bit more progress!) Latvia - 44.6% Luxembourg - 21% Malta - 12% Romania - 50% (YAY) Slovakia - 48.8% Slovenia - 42.4% (there too!)

As you can see, it's slow going. Many more countries haven't reached the threshold yet, and remember, the deadline is 31/07/2025. We need them all up by then!

OTHER COUNTRIES IN NEED OF MORE SIGNATURES:

Austria (72.7%), Belgium (90.1% presque !!), Estonia (56.5%), Hungary (62.9%), Lithuania (61.1%), Portugal (53.6%), Spain (84.6), and France (81.8% allez les gars quoi votez sur ma vie).

To Poland, who reached a stratospheric 141.4%, I never doubted you. You hold the record for most signatures in relation to population size. Mass respect. You smashed that threshold.

Make online games less scammy!

some of y’all bout to be real mad at me. but it must be said. some of the shit u call corny/cringy is actually just genuine/cute/sweet and y’all r just afraid of expressing any type of positive emotion

The way I screamed at this part in the new issue.

Harvey being frightened to hear that he's liked in that way, and has 'fangirls', is so real. Christian Ward has seen all six of us on here and went, yeah, I can work with that.

HARVEY, WE LOVE YOU.

Himb. <3

Great issue by the way, the ending had me vibrating. Now, I won't say what it is, but the whole thing with Die was leading me to think that there was gonna be a certain... reveal. But hmmm.

Yelena Belova Requests

The oh so lovely and talented @yelenasdiary has helped start up April as Yelena Appreciation month! I would love to contribute! If you look at my blog in the Yelena Belova tags, you'll see some of my previous work. I'm also currently posting Emoji hc's! BUT I want to help out some more! I think Yelena is highly underappreciated. Please feel free to request: Hc's Au's (Never done before. Inspiration for Yelenasdiary) One Shots Yelena x reader welcome. I mostly write WLW or gender neutral reader! I'll also consider writing for ships. Minors, PLEASE DNI!

daily fucking reminder that you are allowed to want attention and that does not make you a bad person.

in case no one’s told you in a while. you are valid.

hey babe are you okay you reblogged the daily fucking reminder that you are allowed to want attention and that does not make you a bad person. several times

Yeah, mine is just loneliness. I sadly don't have a lot of social outlets IRL since I'm disabled. I just want to talk to people and answer anons.

Yelena Belova Emoji Hc's Prompt 2

❣️ - What are their love languages? This is a more difficult question than you’d think. I don’t actually think Yelena was ever able to develop a love language. Not that she isn’t capable of love, but outside of those brief months with Melina and Alexei, I have no idea when she would have developed this, realistically speaking. If I had to guess, it would be quality time where she can discover things she has in common with her partner and have things like their favorite song or favorite movie. (Like she did with Alexei and “American Pie”)

🌙 - What’s their sleep schedule like? Yelena is light sleeper. It’s from her days in the widow program. None of them were heavy sleepers. They didn’t have the opportunity to be. However, this habit/lifestyle hasn’t let up even though it’s been years since she was in the program. She wakes at every sound. But! Yelena is learning to enjoy sleeping even though she struggles with nightmares.

🎁 - How do they feel about their birthday/birthdays in general? She would have likely had a “fake” birthday for photographs with Melina and Alexei, but I don’t believe she would have had the chance to have a real birthday until after she escaped the Black Widow program. Alexei and Melina would most likely have a birthday party for her, or Kate Bishop would have a birthday party for her. (or both). Of course, a queerplatonic reader would throw her one.

🧑‍🦰 - Have they ever dyed their hair? Ever cut it themself? Yes, I bet she’s the one who cut it in Thunderbolts. 🍷- How do they feel about alcohol?

She doesn’t mind it. She prefers not to get drunk as she knows that leaves her vulnerable, but if she’s around someone like Kate, a partner, or someone else she trusts, she’s more open to getting drunk. She loves girly cocktails. 

🗣️ - How do they handle public speaking? It’s not something she’s ever really needed to do. Personally, I don’t see her enjoying it.

🎮 - What’s their favorite game? Natasha’s is Mortal Kombat. Considering Yelena loses every time, it is certainly not her favorite. Kate introduced her to Mario Kart. Sometimes, she likes trying things like Resident Evil or something relaxing like Stardew Valley. 🤡 - What’s something dumb they’re embarrassed about? We know canonically that her Black Widow poses, but she’s also self-conscious about how to form friendships.

Karen: Who are these goddamn creeps!?  Micah: Watch your tongue. They’re ridin’ with us now.  Karen: Says who? Micah: Says me. Karen: And who are you?  Micah: *laughs* Miss Karen here likes the bottle here too much. Sad really. She used to be a fun sort of girl. Now it’s just unfortunate and depressing. Still, we’ve all met her sort. Pay her no heed.  Karen: You revolt me!

Micah: The feeling is mutual, my dear. Go, have another drink. Karen: Damn you! Micah: *laughs*

Updated with transcript.

We literally cannot let them start charging 80 dollars for video games 70 dollars was already outrageous 60 was pushing it. 80 fucking dollars. ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND. For MARIO?!?!?!?!?

Yeah. I can't afford that. Forget it. I'm playing my Switch one and the only way I might buy the Switch 2 is if there's a new Animal Crossing game, and even then? The price needs to be less. No one can afford it. Also, PLEASE feel free to correct me! But allegedly, Trump's tariffs will make it more expensive for Americans? Is this true?

Edit: I won’t buy it even for Animal Crossing. They’re just too greedy.

people are really fucking clueless about generative ai huh? you should absolutely not be using it for any sort of fact checking no matter how convenient. it does not operate in a way that guarantees factual information. its goal is not to deliver you the truth but deliver something coherent based on a given data set which may or may not include factual information. both the idolization of ai and fearmongering of it seem lost on what it is actually capable of doing

Remember what generative "AI" does, kids: it GENERATES. That means it generates answers to questions based on whatever garbage has been fed into it. Not "goes and looks up the answer." Not "already studied and knows everything." It's just reaching into its sack of word salad and dumping a pile on your desk. Sure, maybe the words fit together to form sentences, but that doesn't make it correct.

a generative AI search result vs the exact article it is citing. the website it scrambled that information from also just happens to include info on winged roaches. gisborne cockroaches are completely wingless. even if it's pulling info straight from one reliable source, there is every chance it'll mash up that info into something false.

If you need a visual, here’s how poorly AI performed when asked to create citations for news articles. And that’s just for citations, imagine what it’s doing when you ask it more complex questions and tasks.

On the cornsnakes subredit someone there used generative AI to "answer" someone's question about what the raised black lump on their corn snake could be. Another person called them out and AI-user responded with "I can do what I want, and what's the harm anyways?"

I stepped in and explicitly detailed everything that the list got wrong, which was about 95% of it, to show why is was harmful. After an hour they deleted their comment plus they deleted most of their comment history.

AI is a lie generator. Don't use it.
