Turns out, as expected, even the Guild isn’t immune from terrible decrees of higher powers, so this blog will eventually, most likely vanish with the December 17 deadline on the ban on NSFW visual mediums.
That doesn’t mean that we’re done with the project, not by a long shot. We all have a lot of love for Sinquest, and we’re working on a solution, this just all kinda popped up while we were all busy with life’s many distractions and challenges.
When we figure something out, we’ll announce something, but since we can’t really announce it here because of space-time collapsing, you’ll have to follow us on our other social media outlets!
Okay, folks. So. Tumblr’s jumped the shark in a big way, and I’m not even just talking about indiscriminately blocking all “adult” content on a platform that IS, in fact, primarily 18+.
Many blogs, like the wonderful @blackkatmagic , that are not especially NSFW have vanished.
(And I for one LIKE being able to go to curated porn blogs run by actual people and have a chance of finding stuff to my taste, it was one of the things that kept me on this hellsite, but that’s another issue entirely.)
I know lots of people are talking about migrating, but none of us are sure to where yet. Pillowfort seems to be an option, some people are talking about Twitter. But for now, it’s a mess, and even if we knew where we were going, it’s often a huge process, and a lot of us have stuff on tumblr that ONLY exists there.
One possible quick solution to save your blogs, both NSFW and personal, is to import it to WordPress. I found this solution through from frantic googling on how to save an entire blog, text posts an all. There are several apps for downloading all the pictures from a tumblr, (Plently for Windows, but only a few paid ones for mac, of which Tumbelog Picture Downloader is working for me so far) but this is the only solution I’ve seen so far that allows you to save EVERYTHING. I downloaded my NSFW blog in like 10 min. My regular blog, which is significantly larger, is in the process of importing, but I don’t anticipate any problems. I will, of course, update you if I have any.
This tutorial I found worked really easily. http://quickguide (.) tumblr (.) com/post/39780378703/backing-up-your-tumblr-blog-to-wordpress
I put parenthesis around the .’s like we’re back in FF-Hell, just in case tumblr’s new thing about outgoing links kicks in. You know what to do.
To break it down, just in case:
Sign up for a WordPress.com account at wordpress (.) com/start
You’ll have to create an account, with your email, a username, and a password. They should send you a confirmation email immediately, check it, activate it, and you’re good to go.
On the site, it will ask you for a site name. That page asks you a bunch of other information too, but you only have to fill out the site name.
Then you have to give your site a URL. If you’re lucky, your tumblr URL is still available, if not you’ll have to come up with another one, sorry.
It will tell you if that option is still available for free.
Then it will ask you to pick a plan. Free is really good enough, I swear.
Now you’re set up! You can import your tumblr!
The only differences from the linked tutorial are that the Import button is now on the first level menu, not in tools.
Hit Import, then you have to follow the link for “other importers” at the bottom, to find the option for Tumblr.
Then you’ll have to sign in with tumblr, using your normal tumblr credentials. You’ll be redirected there automatically.
You’ll have to allow Wordpress permissions on your blog.
Then your blogs, including all your sideblogs, will show up in wordpress.
Hit import, wait a WHILE depending on the size of your blog, and you’re done!
ALSO!!
I made my NSFW blog private for now, since I don’t know WP’s policy on NSFW.
This means that to access it, someone has to have an account and request access. But hey, part of our problem on this hellsite has been people going places they aren’t wanted, so I don’t personally see this as a bad thing. They can send a request from the landing site on your blog, you get an email, click a link in the email, and PRESTO, they have access.
To make it private, go to Settings > Reading > Site Visibility. Go back and check, it took me changing the setting twice for it to actually stick.
tl;dr, you can import your entire blog to wordpress in just a few steps.
I’m going to tag the hell out of this, in no particular order. PLEASE reblog this and spread the word so people know it’s an option. If you’re having trouble, PM me, and I’m happy to help.
For those of you still interested in sinquest. We as a group will be staying in touch. The current blog will be backed up in a few days. Until then we would like all you lovely sinners to know that you have options. There maybe a twitter made. A possible outlet might be pillowfort as well. Again we will be looking into it. Cheers all.
I wanted to send this to @sinquest as fan mail, but I was unable to. It’s a drawing for the story of how the world of Sinquest was created called “A Beginning to Remember”
I wanted to make this into a mosaic style but that proved very difficult for me. 😅
This was super nice to wake up to. Sorry for the late reply but I think you did a fantastic job. Keep up the great work and thank you for enjoying the story.
A letter left behind, by a small basket of herbs and flowers. "Dearest travelers, it's been a while since I left this guild for my own travels of finding my meaning. I was nearby as I picked these herbs and decided for a visit. No one answered when I called, so I figure an adventure is currently happening or you merely didn't hear my knocking. I must leave. Take care. Wishes, Lady Wyvern"
“Hmm…?”
On a moonlit stroll around the keep, Ken’pai’s attention had been caught on a small basket by the inside of the door of the guild’s keep. Rubbing his sleepless eyes for a bit, he let out an exhausted yawn before picking it up and opening it, finding the note inside.
He brought it to the courtyard, near one of the brighter lanterns for decent reading light, reptilian eyes scanning the words and widening in realization.
Lady Wyvern. He…admitted that he had never conversed with her much. She wasn’t the friendliest to some, and that shamefully led him to be a bit too afraid to approach her for even a friendly greeting.
Tired eyes sank to the ground for a moment, losing focus between his insomniac weariness and his attempt to plumb the depths of his memories. Soon he found his focus waning, only snapped back into reality by the flickering shadows of moths around the lantern.
The mechanist then peered through the basket, finding it neat and tidy, with herbs in organized little bundles, along with tags written by a gentle, knowing hand. He recognized a few of them, namely a few herbs that Tomis had been known to use from time to time, but everybody was here. Betty, Bibi, Mona, Rot, Zuphlas. Even…
Even Ken’pai.
Tucked away in the corner of the basket were two bundles of herbs marked with his name. The first was a bundle of fire-based herbs that the mechanist used with his tinkering, for etching, engraving and the like. The other was…a bundle of Night’s Kiss. A potent sleeping herb. Much needed on a night like tonight.
He placed the note in the basket, picking up the bundle of Night’s Kiss and turning it around in his hand for a moment, once again catching the sight of his own name in Lady’s handwriting.
He walked for a few steps, coming to rest against a nearby wall, away from the lantern. The lizardman glanced up at the moon, its gentle white light reflecting off of his scales.
Walks into the guild hall, dressed in a cloak and half plate armor covered in holy dragon symbols, and hands a sealed letter to Tomis. “For you, my friend, may your days be bright and may the booty last all night.”
Written in the letter: Tomis it was after meeting you that I decided to walk down the path of the warlock. Many things have changed in my life; doors have opened and closed, people have come and gone, and I’ve found myself questioning many of my past choices, but there is one choice I have yet to regret, warlocks for life!
Sorry for a late Valentines, but here ya go~ [/Would present a small case, a case when opened showing a line of different type of gemstones. All that shined internally with a type of magic, that seemed much more vast than their small sizes should be able to conceal.] Here ya go, Warlock. Wanted to give a gift to a fellow 'magical' being in return~ ;3
There have been few times where he showed genuine excitement. Those gemstones showed great promise. One of the Warlock’s deepest desires has been to find about some gemstones he had vaguely heard tales of. Could these be what he seeks?
“Thank you, my lady. I do not know where you found these, but I will want to know everything you know about them! You have made me a very happy man, today!”
two peeps whispering to each other- Man1: hey, you heard about that monk woman? Man2: yeah, what about her? Man1: I heard she has a huuuuge crush on that warlock man, ykno the one from the guilt. She apparently cut her hair off since she is frustrated to not be able to confess! Man2: damn, she had such nice hair... And her tits are massive! Man1: I know right!...
Roguetrot, is there an item in your possession that you can't live without?
“Are you saying I have to pick one item???”“I’ve spent years collecting rare and magical items.”“Why pick one thing when I can have them all?”Greed eats a wrenchAnd then Rot remembered the only things he can’t have are Ken’Pai’s things. Otherwise its a well aimed wrench to the face.
*hands each member a rose and a small box of chocolates* happy Valentines day everyone 💙 *blows a kiss*
The lizardman opened the box and took a piece of chocolate, delicately placing it in his mouth. He swirled it around with his tongue while he chewed, nodding and giving a small smile before swallowing.
“They’re very tasty, and the roses are lovely, thank you! I’ll make sure the rest get their presents, and we hope you had a great Valentine’s Day!”
When you accidentally create a new character after sinking ball into a fandom And that “fandom” would be: @sinquest Thank you for bringing me back to sinning hell
*pours highly concentrated love potion in a round of drinks, before offering it to all the members of the guild, currently celebrating at a tavern*
As Sonya makes her way around the tavern, she seems to be following your instructions, telling each guild member that it’s merely from a “secret admirer,” and much to your delight, each one began downing their mugs, many of the licking their lips at the delightful flavor that your potion seemed to have added to their beverages.
You sit in the corner, biding your time, resting your chin on your hands and giving a coy little smirk, watching the others revel in each other’s company. As you notice the sun getting lower, streaking through the windows as it sets, you start to wonder just why nobody seems to be reacting to their drinks at all, save for Bibi, who looks like she’s enjoying fluttering around the rafters, high above.
You also suddenly become aware that one of them is missing…
*PLOK!*
The sound of a chair’s legs clacking on the floor next to you gives you a start, as you turn your head and see a familiar lizardman sitting in it backwards, watching the same group of revelers as you are.
“Not workin’ huh?”
He sets down his own flask on the table, which you notice is mostly empty already. He turns his head to glance at you from the corner of his eye.
“Nice tropical flavor, by the way. Probably got some berries all the way from Juvent. Though…if you were looking for a ‘love’ potion, I’m afraid to disappoint you but the best you’ll get are aphrodisiacs. This one’s quite a doozy, though…you might have picked the wrong group to try it out on.”
He pointed towards the black-robed figure, already wrapping his arms around a shy young lad and his lady friend.
“Tomis there…well, let’s just say he is an aphrodisiac. Honestly, you could’ve just walked up and asked him, you would’ve had a better success rate. In fact, if you want to, I’d suggest you do so quickly, before he finds someone else or, before I ask him myssself. Seriously though, you’ve done no more to him than if you were to pour a bucket of water into the ocean. Ssspeaking of which…”
The lizardman gestured to a green-robed water elemental, poking her head up to laugh every now and then before looking back down at a thick book she’d brought in with her.
“Armonia is a water elemental, and while I’m no expert in elemental biology, I’m going to guessss that this potion would work a lot better on creatures that have…far less water in their systems. You might sssee a little twinge here or there, but I’m sure it’s heavily diluted.”
Ken’pai then turned your attention to a table at the other end of the tavern, empty save for one blue-furred trottlng. His fur was quite brilliantly shown in the light, particularly because he wasn’t wearing anything save for a napkin that he had delicately placed over his nethers as he lounged on top of the table. He gave you two a sensual look and, with a wink, poured the rest of his drink seductively onto his chest.
“…Nope, that’s not from your potion. Rot has been doing that for three days. Believe me, he’s a little too…eccentric for something like thisss to really affect him. And if it did…would any of us be able to tell?”
He pointed out another table where Betty sat along with Zuphlas, the former humming to herself as she picked up a small chocolate candy from a tin in front of her, closing her eye in bliss.
“As a helpful tip, Betty likes chocolate. A lot. In fact…if you’re not giving her chocolates, or…I suppose, made of chocolate, she’s not really going to fall for any of these tricksss, nor will she care. Zuphlas is a paladin. A paladin. Have you ever met a paladin before? A real one? A good one? Because I don’t think you have. He’s far too busy reciting his oaths with his head up his ass to even consider such ‘lowly actsss’“ Ken’pai said, mocking Zuphlas’ speech mannerisms.
He turned to look at you again and gave a soft sigh. “Aww, don’t worry, I’m sure your potion had some effect on Bibi. A small frame and all that, but…well…”
Ken’pai pointed a clawed finger up at the rafters, as your eyes caught a glimpse of the small cleric giggling and resting on her side on one of the larger beams.
“…good luck getting her down.”
The lizardman stood up and grabbed his flask, tilting his head back and downing the rest of his drink, smacking his lips. “Ahh…that isss really tasty! …Oh, right, well, you might be wondering about me as well I sssuppose. Let me put it this way, when you’re only into guys, and the guild is typically beset upon by fair maidens, well…you learn how to channel your…needs in other ways.”
He moved behind your chair, clasping his hands on your shoulders and leaning over to whisper in your ear.
“…so that’s my sssecret…”
Ken’pai cackled madly for a moment, before placing his hand on the back of your chair and leaning back over.
“Regardless, thanks for the entertainment. Do me favor, yesss? Tip the barmaid? Sonya works quite hard around here, you see.”
You swallowed hard and gave him a silent nod, prompting him to give you a toothy smile.
“Good! Have a pleasant stay!”
And with that, the reptilian patted you on the back and moved across the tavern, making a beeline for the warlock and licking his lips with his blue tongue.
(send your messages or gifts to the guild members and see how they reply!) (Note: temporarily closed)
Thank you all for participating in our little event! Don’t worry, if you still want to send a message, we’ll be opening up the mailbox for more once we make sure everyone’s messages are answered!
While looking through the large pile of scrolls Armonia stumbled across this one with it’s seal opened. Her curiosity got the better of her and she opened the letter up and read the three words.
“Well I never! Why would anyone wish ill tidings onto Zu?!” She pushed her chair back and stood up quickly. “How dare they! We are already lacking in the tank area and if he got harmed our quests would be pushed back…”
Mona was looking at her bookshelf. Her brows forwarded as she calculated just how many adventures they would be behind. Flustered she slammed her hand on the table causing the stack to shake and fall. Her voice rose as her frustration grew.
“I mean I know he isn’t fragile, far from it, but this is unexcusable. I don’t know any person who would want to harm even a feather on him!” She was pacing the room now, her thoughts were flying through every possible candidate that might have sent this.
As she paced Tomis happened to be passing the room and Armonia’s abnormal behavior seemed to catch his attention. She was rambling on about some kind of cursed fae when she crumbled the letter in her hand and tossed it behind her.
His curiosity growing more he leaned down and picked the parchment up and read it. Slight confusion passed him as he looked back to the water elemental.
She was at her book case looking for protective spells. “Let’s see… If I wanted to harm someone how would I stop myself?” She mumbled to herself and the realization finally hit Tomis.
He cleared his throat to get the unexpected summoners attention. “Oh! Pardon me Tomis I did not see you there. Can I help you with something?”
Tomis moved into the room and over to the elemental. His hand pressed against the bookshelf and his face leaned towards her ear.
“I believe you may have mistaken the context of a certain letter.” He held it with his free hand. “I do believe this means the sender would like to, how to put this, have so much sex with Zulphas that his body could not take anymore.”
After the realization finally hit her Armonia seemed both flustered and satisfied. “O-oh well I would have figured that out… Eventually.”
Hearing this Tomis let a deep chuckle escape him and he turned to leave the room. “Perhaps, however seeing you like this was well worth telling you in advance.” Then the warlock was gone.
Armonia walked to her chair and slide into it with her hands covering her face. She was beyond embarrassed at this point. So distracted she did not notice her crystal ball had captured the whole ordeal.
hey Ghost-Spirit-Sama here had to use my alternate account but…HAPPY VALENTINES DAY YA BUNCH OF GOOBS!!! Dress up and ready to spread my love to you all (well almost all of ya) anyway…later ya sinners ;p
