#and had zero results

[pastafossa]

its easy for people to say you’re being dramatic when its not THEIR work being plagiarized.

your frustrations are 100% valid and im sorry you’re having to go through this again. if this is the only method that works, then do what you need to do in order to protect your work.

Ty, anon. I'm definitely frustrated with the whole thing and it's exhausting. And like, on the one hand I get it. This might seem like a 'whoa' escalation, and why can't you let this go/talk privately/go easier? And that's what I did the first few times it happened to me. I tried letting it go, only for more and more to be taken the longer it was ignored. I tried asking privately, repeatedly for the work to be taken down or even just for my elements to be removed from the larger story, before going to Wattpad and AO3 when I was ignored or waved off. Hell, I tried that with the Impasta/Big Plagiarist - I was literally sending (ignored) messages in an attempt to get it resolved between us before I finally posted about it and everyone pushing got it taken down. Only for her to come back maybe a month later and do it again, rinse repeat. And now this, what, a month after that? Even if this last one's not the Big Plagiarist, this is really bad timing.

I've tried gentle and reasonable and quiet and private and begging and gotten nowhere. I've got literal notes in the A/N of TRT telling people it's not ok to do this. I've talked to other fic writers who've been plagiarized like this and they've had similar results, to the point that some have just taken down their work or taken very long hiatuses when it kept happening (I'm not taking down TRT, don't worry, cause I love it; this is just more about the absolute frustration and hopelessness some fic authors feel when this happens). People just keep doing it even though they know it's wrong, and I just don't know any other way to make this stop than applying public pressure.

she's in the habit of deciding when Adrien's suffering is acceptable, and if it is, she'll just fix it later.

I'd like to think Five and Lila were just fucked in the head after not seeing their families for seven years. I'd like to think they were both starved for love and their brains were warped by the fact that they only had each other to survive off of. I'd like to think that they just wanted a break from the absolute chaos of their lives where they could be loved wholly by another person without question.

But what I'd REALLY like is an exploration of the deepening platonic connection between the two of them that allows for emotional intimacy like we saw in the final subway scene without meddling with their dynamic or integrity as characters and making them total assholes.

me: so yeah i feel super dizzy and lightheaded when i stand up and also just at random times of the day and also my heart just starts pounding randomly and it skips a beat randomly at least once a day and im also experiencing these other small things that i realized probably arent normal

the cardiologist: yeah, your heart’s beating too fast, but that’s just Normal Teenager Things™️! probably just like dehydration or something lol

[moonlights-shadow-warrior]

Me: Hey these things are causing issues and getting in the way of my everyday life. Do you know what's wrong?

Every medical professional @ me when my body does the Thing™️:

I'm not smart enough for this topic but I need someone to make a post about the parallels between Tai Lung from Kung Fu Panda and Bi-Han

[schmirius]

also re: that post I just reblogged that was like "back then we expected the contentious stuff to be Death Eater orgies and not underage Harry/Draco": underage H/D existed in 2007 all over the place; sometimes pretty bland, sometimes pretty prurient– hello, <lj comm=pornish_pixies> . its existence was very much was one of the reasons fan content started getting nuked from existence from (fandom mega-hub) livejournal without notice

the Oh No So Prurient stuff that was on pornish_pixies included a lot of fic that I loved that's now probably now lost to time

(none of the summaries below would have been warned for on the LJ community but the fic itself would've been behind a cut. you would have a pretty good idea what you were getting into because *you knew the vibes of the community*)

long live shit like this. let every teenager wank to what they love.

dult Bellatrix/underage Ginny evil death eater non-con ft. orgasm denial, virginity kink (author: god there was one who loved Bellatrix/Ginny so much and I forget their name. I WAS A LURKER)

sicko pedo Professor Slughorn who objectifies the proteges he "collects" and takes great glee in forcing underage brothers Sirius and Regulus to do it for his masturbatory pleasure

adult Lupin fucks underage Hermione for Sirius' voyeuristic pleasure (he can no longer get it up after Azkaban and takes his evil sex thrills instead) (author: maybe musesfool)

oh god no I found a fair amount of the community's fic on the wayback machine that's my night gone

I'm absolutely obsessed with my current D&D character which is great for D&D but it makes it hard to focus on work sometimes. I super need to write my thesis whoops.

So anyways let me tell you about my dumb clown son.

This is Pascal:

I've found a love for medival clown fashion design? Pascal likes to sew and designs his own costumes so I get to draw lots of fun clothes for him. He makes them all kind of modular so he can mix and match pieces and be dressed differently every day.

Here's some more of his outfits. This one was party wear, for a masquerade:

We recently got winter gear which he dismantled and turned into clowny stuff, so here's his winter outfit:

I forgot his necklace and didn't color the earring in the winter one, but I was slapping this together in a rush to be able to show my party what I did with the nice practical warm weather gear they bought for me. ^^;;

Odds are low my party will ever see this, but just in case - MASSIVE SPOILERS below the cut! Pascal's got hella secrets!

Pascal has spent his life as a clown to hide that he is actually a tiefling. He is the son of a half elf and the archdevil Levistus (though he has no idea who his dad is), so he claims he is a half elf and does all he can to hide his tiefling traits. His horns are very short and about the same color as his hair, so he can just tease his hair really big and/or wear a hat to hide those. His tail he binds to his leg then hides that under poofy shorts. Exposed white except for his face and ears in the above images is all fabric (long gloves and stockings), and his face and ears are covered in thick makeup. He's blue, actually.

-cut-

All party members gone? Good.

Like this:

My party has just arrived at our first major plot destination and it's turned out to be a place cursed by Levistus. The rest of the party has only had fairly vague allusions to this and doesn't know Levistus has anything to do with me (all they know is Pascal is a clown and probably a half elf or something). To be fair, it's not like Pascal knows he has anything to do with Levistus either.

(His secrets come in layers, so there's more to uncover down the line. 1. He's a tiefling. 2. His dad's Levistus. 3. His mother's curse is from her trying to break a pact with Levistus, which he was supposed to be the payment for - as a warrior for Levistus to do his bidding in the material plane.)

The party has been super nice and respectful of Pascal's quirks and dodginess (he will only sleep alone, in his own tent or a separate room; he doesn't eat in front of them; if he gets cuts he gets away from them and focuses on stitching up his clothes and ignores the bleeding). It's very sweet but it means they take zero bait to be nosy about what his deal is.

So my DM has checked with me about setting something up to expose his secrets in some way? I'm excited. 👀 Can't wait for the party to realize he's a liar. He's going to be so upset, it'll be great.
