Hc that burning down fnaf 6 wasn’t in the plan but then Henry saw how many lawsuits they were getting and was like ‘you know what, light the place up. I ain’t going to court again.’ And Michael Arsonist Afton was only too happy to oblige.

Haphazardly typing into the Notes app all 1500 words of the fanfic thoughts you had while you spent an excessive amount of time driving around is all well and good

but when will there be time to actually write the fanfics

Marvel Settles Fight Over Spider-Man, Doctor Strange Rights

The estate of Steve Ditko, who co-created the characters, has reached a deal with the company and ended the last of five battles over copyright termination efforts.

BY ASHLEY CULLINS

It looks like Marvel won’t be bringing its battle over the rights to Spider-Man and Doctor Strange into the new year. Attorneys for the company and the estate of Steve Ditko on Wednesday notified the court that they’ve reached an amicable settlement and expect a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice to be filed in the coming weeks.

This all started back in 2021, when Marvel filed a series of lawsuits in response to copyright termination notices from Larry Lieber and the estates of Gene Colan, Steve Ditko, Don Heck and Don Rico. A very long list of characters were at issue, including Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Hulk and Thor. In June, all but one of the matters settled.

The last remaining dispute was with the heirs of Ditko, who co-created Spider-Man and Doctor Strange. According to that termination notice, the estate wanted to reclaim rights from comics including Amazing Fantasy (including Spider-Man’s 1962 debut) and Strange Tales (including Doctor Strange’s first appearance in 1963). In addition to the art and stories themselves, the termination notices also targeted “any character, story element, or indicia reasonably associated with the Works.”

Marvel was represented by Dan Petrocelli and Molly Lens of O’Melveny, and Patrick Ditko was represented by Marc Toberoff. Neither party has responded to a request for comment.

Sorry, but second message because I can't get my head around this shit. I'm already afraid of going to the hospitals here as a trans person, just from working in them and seeing how these people act toward us. How some of these doctors allowed to continue practicing is just another layer of stress. I used to work in an OR and there was a gen surgeon nurses would call the butcher cause he'd just fuck people's GI surgeries up and had very bad complication rates. Like why was that dude still there? We also had a doctor illegally perform under the table cosmetic surgery on his wife in my city. She ended up dying on the table, very suspicious circumstances, but I think he's actually going to jail. I really don't understand how no first assists, nurses, techs, or anyone else didn't step up to stop this man's liver from being removed. It doesnt take a skilled surgeon to identify a liver. I saw some people online saying they thought it could be organ trafficking, but who knows. I'm not one to buy into a conspiracy without evidence. I just don't understand how this could've happened. I get that people are afraid to speak up and question order at times, but if it's this severe of an incident, i would hope that someone would.

Unfortunately I can almost guarantee that someone in the room did say something, but he is one of those surgeons where you Absolutely Cannot Tell him anything, because "he went to medical school and you didn't" and as a tech/nurse there's very little you can actually do, because if you leave it's "patient abandonment" and if you argue the doctor will claim you were trying to act outside your scope of practice

clearly I was not involved in this surgery because he left my hospital a few years ago so I can't say for sure, but that's always the vibes he gave off

for what it's worth i get not wanting to go to the hospital because of being trans, and thankfully most of the surgeons I work with aren't like this at all

update because I apparently skipped over the "illegal plastic surgery" part, but what?? I have several questions about that one

tbh i feel like we're all maybe forgetting that 6A was kind of destined to be a little bit boring or slow-paced from the get-go because of how 5B ended so *perfectly* with everything tied up in a neat little bow. i mean 5x18 was literally called "starting over," and this is a show that (for better or for worse, this specific post is not pro-911s-pacing or anti-911s-pacing but a secret third thing, confused-and-trying-to-make-sense-of 911s-pacing) routinely and consistently takes right around ~10 episodes to cash in on big narrative plot points. not situational or episode specific or more technical plot points, like madney going from unsuccessful house hunting to finding a place within 2 episodes, or buck agreeing to be a sperm donor inside of 1 episode- those are typically resolved pretty quickly, within an episode or two. the show scaffolds these more-quickly-resolved plot points together into larger, more character driven arcs that typically always take around ten episodes for the full emotional fallout and significance to play out. 911 has always been a show where what happens matters a hell of a lot less to the story than how the characters feel about what happens, so because this is such a character driven show, inside of those ten set-up, pawns-on-the-chessboard episodes, it can be pretty difficult at times to figure out what they're angling at, or where they're planning on going (buck! where the hell are you going!), or how any of the plots are going to coalesce into something useful, profound, and cohesive. typically, the B season ends with at least a *couple* of loose threads that carry over into the arc-resolution-conclusion phase in the following A season, giving us an A season that's like 70% setup for new arcs and 30% wrapup of old arcs- but 5B ended on a true blank slate, so almost *everything* in 6A (with the exception of the conclusion to hen's super-drawn-out-but-very-realistically-paced med school arc) has been... scaffolding from the ground up.

and scaffolding looks pretty unimpressive and odd and boring on its own, like a big pile of ugly junk getting in the way of everything, but put it alongside the Sistine chapel ceiling it was built to accomplish, and suddenly it seems a little more worthwhile.
