Hello? Hello Hello?

...Well, this place has been dead for a little bit, hasn't it?

Mentioned a little bit before on that collab piece I did, but figured I'd be better to do a full post bout it here!

So, this AU...has been laying dormant for quite some time, and there's not really any excuses for that. I've just been a little busy with school and life in general, but mainly...haven't had much motivation to do it in all honesty, and their's two main factors to that unmotivation.

1. I kinda realized I'd be needing to write a lot for this story, and though I love writing in general...the scope of this would be like writing a few novels if I continued on, and I just wouldn't have the time or sanity to do that, but more on that later for a solution...

And 2. ...I kinda fell out of FNaF for a moment. Well- Not entirely, I'll always love this series, but I guess it was mainly...the state of the fandom after one certain game...Security Breach. After that game came out, it kinda broke the fandom in half. One half being those who hate the game and left the franchise entirely, now seeing it as nothing but for kids and not taken seriously, and the other...well, actually kids. Y'know the ones. You know.

So that kinda left me kinda unsure for my AU, since I thought if I put stuff out now...it wouldn't really be that appreciated. From the start it was meant to harken back to the original classics of FNaF, but with the fandom mostly filled with newcomers for just this one game, and the original fans gone and unhopeful for the franchise, I just kinda...left this place dorment till I felt motivated again.

...And then the Ruin DLC happened, which gave me a spark of motivation. Seemed this franchise was starting to to head to a better place, getting some old fans back, so that's nice. Got me thinking more bout this AU again...

And then the movie happened, and now i've been slapped in the face with motivation.

SO- Guess that's my excuse for why things have been so empty, but now...I AM READY TO OFFICIALLY SAY IT IS STARTING BACK UP! And not just that...but starting fresh! ...Which, isn't saying much, since I only wrote two chapters for it...y e a h - But there's a reason I'm starting fresh, not just for improved art or retconing some of the mistakes of what I did give out, but mainly because...

I'm turning the AU into a comic!!

That's right! Gonna be drawing the whole thing start to finish! Figured this would be better to me since it's quicker then writing it all, and get to show and improve more of my art, so works out! (You can already kinda see some of that with the new pfp and header) Maybe might get some help in the future, maybe might dable in some animation, maybe a lot of things, but guess we'll just hafta see where it goes from here!

What does that mean for the previous content though? All...f o u r of it? Well, that stuff is gonna be non-canon from here on out! It'll be easier this way since those stuff have either some continuity errors that'll effect the story in the long wrong, or just simply I've changed my mind on some things and it'll be a bit more different! I'm still leaving them up, however! Just cause I think it'll be fun to see how far I've come, and ey some art pieces there weren't bad! ...Too bad...okay like one or two were d e c e n t

TLDR of it tho is this: AU's getting a reboot, gonna be made into a comic now, previous stuff is non-canon, and this page should be a bit more active now!

But yeah! Big things are coming, and I am excited to start up this AU again! I have so many plans for this story that I'm just hoping you guys will love, wanna do justice to both sides of the story! So keep an eye on this blog, might take a little longer, but hoping to get things officially and finally started soon!

And to prove some of that, before I go...you guys deserve a a bit of a sneak peak of what's to come, so...hope you enjoy these redesigns >:]

EDIT: THE SERIES HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN- READ EM HERE- AH-

[toffeebeantable]

This was originally gonna be a smaller post about the penstagram exchange with Hunter, but uhh I guess not.(Its so much longer than I anticipated I’m gonna put the more deeper thoughts under read more)

First off: HAHAHAHHAHAHA THE BEGINNING WITH LUZ TEXTING HUNTER IS SO HILARIOUS I FREAKING DIED. I REWATCH THE SCENE SO GODDAMN MUCH I HAVE A PROBLEM.

Like ok I’ve heard going around the fandom that: Willow would give Luz Hunter’s pensta and whatever, he would send pictures of little rascal to his friends (aka willow and maybe the Emerald Entrails too), and that he would text like an old grandpa or whatever. I FREAKING LOVE HOW THE FIRST TWO CAME TO BE VERYYY TRUEEEEE and I’m not sure how much time has passed since the last episode but I assume maybe a good week or so and he’s replying pretty damn fast but you can see the amount of typos and periods or whatever. Actually what the heck kinda keyboard he have like is he accidentally switching between keyboards??? (Or did they base the keyboard on scrolls to be like a different type of phone that isnt apple) I really like how he apologized for sending the bird picture LMAO he’s really warmed up to Flapjack now and I can’t wait to hear him actually say it in the show.

(Ignore the huge gap idk whats up with tumblr formatting) I was about to shout for 10 lines about where the hell he got the name Flapjack from if he doesn’t know what it is but then I realized the bird probably gave it to him but then didn’t explain what it was. Communication must be pretty limited to maybe one or two words maybe??

ALSO CAN I JUST MENTION THE PICTURE HE HAS FOR HIS PFP LIKE ITS JUST FUNNY TO ME ITS A SUPER GENERIC ‘cool guy’ POSE OR WHATEVER. AND ALSO THE FACT HE FREAKING HAS HIS UNIFORM ON TOO SO PEOPLE KNOW WHAT HIS FACE LOOKS LIKE IF THEY LOOK CLOSE ENOUGH (im assuming no one else in the emperor’s coven has that golden shoulder blade) but I assume that something like photoshop exists in the boiling isles so maybe most people would just think its cool editing or a costume now that I think about it.

Okay another thought with less caps lock. So I don’t know how Dms work on insta at all. And based on Eda’s line “did you steal my penstagram” and some of the texts, I’m just wondering a couple things but idk how to organize it so here’s a list:

1. Does Luz not have a penstagram??? I’m not gonna go back through the episodes to see when she ever uses a scroll but I just realized I think she’s only ever used the crystal ball to contact her friends?? Why doesn’t she have one unless she just really does not care for social media in the boiling isles which would make sense

2. Why does Luz introduce herself??? Like she says “are you good now?” Before saying her name, implying shes talked earlier and he probably tried to get her to stop spamming him with an excuse like “I’m busy.” This might be just a ‘show’ thing or whatever but the messages appear at the top, which sorta looks like its a new conversation? Maybe they just didn’t feel like adding the extra details of old messages and the time or whatever (idk if insta looks the same as imessage) Or does the formatting on instagram just look like that? Like when you go to a conversation theres no old messages?

3. Me not understanding insta just gives me this last thought: maybe Luz does have a scroll and she texted Hunter just before and he blocked her (if he knows how) so she went on Eda’s scroll to bother him

Edit: IM A DUMBASS I ALSO FORGOT TO MENTION HIS USERNAME WHY DID I FORGET HOW DID I FORGETHSJBDS. I THOUGHT MAYBE HE WOULD BE BOOMER ENOUGH TO USE SOMETHING LIKE "Hunter_34" OR "Golden_Guard 647" and for some reason it just didn't click in my mind that the username above wasn't Eda's for. whatever reason (Literally how could I forget the episode RIGHT BEFORE even showed what her user was too) I HAD TO WATCH A VIDEO TALKING ABOUT THE EPISODE AND THEY MENTIONED THAT OFF TO THE SIDE AND I FELT SO DUMB aaanywayy I just. its funny. funny funny that he chose that as his username. And I'm sorta wondering if he made that his username immediately once he made that account. Ig he's not that much of a boomer to know to use numbers instead of letters in the words and if that really was his first thought to make his user then he must think a lot about the book. Wait does he- know King wrote it??? The "rat" that fucking pulled his hair??? ok i wanted to talk more about the book and look into what sorts of things King probably had in there and what made Hunter like it so much but my brain is dead rn and this edit is already long enough

The truth behind the politics-notmything drama

TLDR: Charley’s explanation has been proven to be false through clear evidence, her contracting statements with what was found from original authors, and too many coincidental or suspicious points.

There are too many screenshots to all fit in this one post, so we ended up putting only a few on here. For the full post, here is a link to the google doc, you can also read this instead:

As many of you may already know, I have recently made a callout post against Charley (@politics-notmything) for being a plagiarist. She, however, has made an explanation of her side of the story. After lots of careful investigating, I can honestly confirm that Charley is in fact a plagiarist and lied about certain points of the situation.

To start off, I waited to make this post until I was basically 100% sure on whether her explanation was the truth or not. There was much evidence against her. However, a friend of mine decided to check the IP addresses of each of the tumblr blogs she had mentioned (I did not ask them to by the way, they just sent them to me thinking it would help.) They sent me them and it showed that Charley's main account politics-notmything had the same IP address as both the fake wolf1ez account that she claimed to trick her and the fake Nikole account she blamed. I will not, however, be posting her IP address as proof as I personally consider posting that publicly without her consent as doxxing, and I do not wish to harm Charley like that. I never even considered looking at her IP address as I am not comfortable with that nor technologically competent to even remember IP addresses are a thing you can look at. However, I can’t ignore that what my friend showed me is very blatant proof that confirms that Charley has been lying, so I shall mention it, but I refuse to send it to anyone and I have told them to do the same. Please respect that decision.

Some of you may just take my word for it on that. However, for those of you who don’t, here is all the other evidence stacking up against Charley’s story.

First things first, let’s say I didn’t know Charley’s explanation was false. Her explanation was that she plagiarized a friend instead who had plagiarized fics. Charley, in the end, had deceived people and accepted praise from those who were misled to believe that writing was true. Because of that and if her story was true, then she gave a platform to terf (later knowing they were one and continuing to post their work) and her followers had unintentionally supported a terf and plagiarist because of her deception. Now, she may have received credit, but she could've easily said at any point that the fics weren’t actually written by her but by someone else who was anonymous. AO3 even has some features to properly credit others.

The definition of plagiarism is the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own. With this in mind, Charley had plagiarized no matter what, and the fact that she never once told anyone about this co owner and has held conversations with me about how she came up with, wrote, and edited She Used to Be Mine, a plagiarized fic, all by herself is very suspicious.

The proof Charley has been sending is also on invalid sites where you can easily create your own evidence. Everyone already knows and understands the unreliability of google docs with handling fake emails and stuff I presume. As for Snapchat, you can very well change the date. It’s the exact same thing as time traveling in animal crossing, and it’s actually decently known among people. Here is a link to an example of someone altering time on snap chat, followed by the results.

(Results are on the google doc.)

Now some might wonder why would she go through all the trouble of doing that? Well, to create evidence to clear herself. The fact that it was posted quite a bit later, and that she had told people prior to this that she deleted all the messages and proof of information that could blatantly defend herself is very sketchy. Not to mention, the account she @ed as “Nikole” was fake and confirmed to be nonexistent by a friend of mine.

Moreover, the tumblr account that she claimed was Nikoles was recently changed between the two days. When Charley first mentioned the account, me and my friends all investigated it and found a post saying she had another account. However, since then it was altered to say the account Charley @ed and the account had a new bio saying her snap chat is the one Charley @ed. But the account was nonexistent the day before?

Is this simply just a coincidence? Well, let’s see what else is a coincidence.

Charley has recently been writing smut and this blamed blog is an NSFW blog. Coincidence? Maybe. But she also claimed to have cut the person out of her life last year. The blog however is more recently made in late 2020. Why would Charley still be in contact with her accounts? Is this another coincidence? Also, if they did cut things off, why continue to still post her work? And why would two of the fics be things that were made this year if she ended their friendship in 2019? How would she have gotten that from “Nikole” if they were cut off? We even asked the original author of one of the fics about the situation and they confirmed that they gave no permission for someone to copy their fic.

Are these all coincidences too? Not to mention, Charley didn’t say just one person she never mentioned before had tricked her into plagiarism, but two. Charley claimed to be good friends with the author of the original Luck be a Lady and have received permission from them, however, they never spoke to Charley before nor gave permission to anyone to use their fic.

When it was found that the original author of the fic that Luck Be a Lady plagiarized was not friends with Charley nor gave her permission like she had said they did, Charley claimed another account that was fake had tricked her.

Again? How likely is that to even happen once, let alone twice? Or for someone with no post on an account that could have easily been made had even interacted with Charley? Or that the texting style in the evidence she posted is similar to her own and could be edited? And also the conversation itself is way too sketchy and convenient?

(Check google doc or Charley’s post for the conversation.)

Charley also just happened to request help with the title in a group chat l was in with her, but she requested help 3 weeks after the conversation she claims to have happened above.

( @all-my-love-cathy by the way was the one who named it, her name was censored because its her personal account with her name real)

Maybe it's just me, but 3 weeks seems like a bit of a long time to wait to name a fic that already had a storyline and pre-written chapters.

Moreover, the fake Wolf1ez also just so coincidentally happened to recently have copied the Twitter pfp of the account that Charley had seen but not their actual tumblr account? And that this blog that doesn’t make posts decided to tell Charley to use a fic they didn’t write?

How did they even find her blog? And why wouldn’t Charley at least double check the situation here since the person is very suspicious in the conversation they had, had no posts and she doesn’t know them? This is the "close friend" they claimed to have co authored with?

Also, Charley claimed to have commented on the AO3 fic and then deleted it. However, the original author never got an email for this. Whether it’s anonymous or not, they would have seen that a comment was deleted, yet they didn’t have one and all the other comments were fine.

The author even had a note written at latest in January 2020 telling their readers to talk to them on Twitter instead of Tumblr.

Their A/N^

(more screenshots are on the google docs)

Why would she discuss it with them on tumblr then if the author didn’t like tumblr, and Charley does in fact have a Twitter, so why not talk to them there? That’s pretty sketchy.

Also speaking of coincidences, how about the fact that the most recent fic she updated that was confirmed to be plagiarized happened to be the very last fic on the supposed list she claimed to have been given by “Nikole”? Or how she later contradicts herself by saying she won’t upload anymore of her fics? What left did she have to upload if they were all used?

Furthermore, the fic just so happened to also be a Rent fic. Wow, right after Hope Mill Theater released Rent with Millie and Maiya both starring in roles, something Charley had seen and recently expressed great interest in. What a coincidence that it was the one she posted that day. Or how about the other fics that were all copied also being her interests? So many coincidences.

Now I hope it is understood that all of these together just don’t add up. Those are way too many “coincidences” for her explanation to be true. The original authors contacted had never spoken to Charley or given her permission to use their fics, and the accounts she used made no sense with how they were presented. Her explanation feels somewhat of an excuse, and the fact that there is definite proof that she has lied in her explanation and is connected to the accounts is unsettling. Blaming a makeup blog is already messed up, but calling them a terf?

I’m sorry if this post is upsetting to anyone? I know a lot of people have been openly angry or devastated at the news of what has been done. Plagiarism is not okay, neither is deception. To see such a big blog that you might have once admired lie to you and steal from others isn’t easy, especially since she has such a big following that others are dreaming to have. Not to mention, this definitely looks bad for fic writers, especially shippers as she was one of the major faces of Parrlyn. I think it’s important to recognize that we can’t encourage or simply overlook issues like these, nor is it fair to many fans. Please make sure to recognize this issue and become aware about it.

What Charley has done isn’t right, however, that doesn’t deny the fact that she is a human being just like every single one of us. She is very young and did something dumb, but she does not deserve to be sent any hate so please refrain from doing that if you so desired to. I know my blog is known for having issues with her in the past, but I genuinely mean it when I say I hope she learns from this and I don’t want her to be attacked. Nobody deserves to be sent hate, and as a fandom we should strive to be bigger and better people each day and only share positivity and kindness with each other.

Please, once again, give the original fic writers credit if you liked fics that were plagiarized. If you could spare a second to give them a kudos/like and possibly comment something simple like “I love this”, I’m sure it would mean a bunch to them. Hearing your fics were stolen is not easy, speaking from experience here as someone who was also plagiarized this year. They could use a bit of love, so please do consider it if you are comfortable with that.

Once again, I spent the past two days since I read Charley's explanation investigating the situation with a group of people. I just wanted to share the truth, maybe it’s the inner journalist in me. This is what I found with them and what I stand by. Believe what you want, I can’t force ideas onto anyone and I know some are bound to disagree with this, but it’s what I found.

For anyone upset over the incident and needs a place to rant or vent, my dms are open and so is my inbox. If you follow me on insta or are a friend on discord I would recommend those as I am a bit more active there. I’ll try to be on as much as I can the next few days in case anyone needs someone to talk to.

UPDATE UPDATE UP DATE U P D A A A T E

I'm sobbing with relief, you guys. I've been so stuck on this. I can't believe it took me two months to update. Things were getting better, over the last week or so I managed to write a few sentences here and there, but today it just clicked and I banged out the whole chapter like nobody's business. It feels so good. I don't have the next one written, but I have it outlined, and I have a tentative outline for the rest of the fic--not that we're too near the end, yet. It's just a good sign.

I have some thoughts about the chapter, the fic, and its effect on my mental health, but I have a feeling this will get long so I'm going to put a break. Click if you want to read my rambling about all that, I guess.

Writing this fic ended up being a bigger part of my personal mental health journey than I anticipated, so it's natural that they'd be intertwined. I only wrote it because I was so obsessed with the Suicidal Midoriya Izuku tag I ran out of fics to read and had to make my own. Not exactly "mentally stable" behavior.

If you read Wish I Hadn't Got So Much Better, esp my notes and comments, you know that suicidal ideation is a very real issue for me, both in my past and (surprisingly, like for the Izuku of that story) my present.

I'm not opposed to talking about it, so if anyone wants to chat about that kind of stuff, my DMs and asks are open, seriously, I love talking about mental health and any excuse to talk about myself is welcome. But I won't get into it too much here.

Basically, I was depressed, and dealing with some other physical health issues (TURNS OUT I'VE BEEN BREATHING MOLD FOR MONTHS NO WONDER I'M EXTRA LETHARGIC), and when I started to fall behind on updates, that only exacerbated my anxiety and guilt and, thus, depression.

Something else that came up for me was that I don't totally feel qualified to write about suicide recovery, because I never experienced it in the way I'm writing it.

I basically dumped this on Izuku in Wish I Hadn't Got So Much Better, but essentially, I do have experience with being suicidal, just not the "getting help" part. I do see a psychiatrist for my disorders, but no one ever found out about the suicidal part.

So, like Hizashi and Shouta say in Chapter 13, "Who do I think I am? Why do I think I could take care of a child?" I have no idea what guided recovery looks like, because I did it alone. I kept thinking, what if I'm doing it wrong, what if I'm missing something important, what if people who really had these experiences think I'm taking it lightly?

So that's part of the source for my end note for this chapter--I realized that as long as I'm doing my due diligence, I don't have to feel guilty about getting it wrong, because real people get it wrong too. Also, it's fanfiction, I'm allowed some wiggle room. I've read and loved and recommended fics with far looser basis in reality, and never considered complaining. I'm just a harsher critic of myself than I am of others, as are most people.

On a more technical note, I also struggled with pacing the story. I kept feeling like I was stuck in a real-time pace, and I couldn't figure out how to stop describing literally every action my characters took. How hard is it to zoom out and do a fucking timeskip, for goodness' sake?

For me--very hard, it turns out.

So I kind of gave up, gave myself permission to stop trying. I even stopped reading MHA fics for a little while (no way I could stop reading fics, though). I went back to one of my all-time fave fics, from what might be my favorite anime--Run With the Wind. The fic is Beyond the Wind by kstar2091.

Honestly, I thought my first fic would be in this fandom. I figured it would be a poor homage to this fic, a continuation of canon events finally giving us the romance that had been simmering all 23 episodes. My pfp is best boy Kiyose Haiji for a reason.

Uh oh, that was a bit of a tangent.

My point is, re-reading my fave fic (with delicious new chapters) inspired me, bc kstar is legit VERY GOOD at exactly what I was struggling with--passing a lot of in-story time without sacrificing content or intensity.

So, the little interlude in Izu's POV covering a week or so in the chapter I just posted--that's thanks to kstar2091, Beyond the Wind, and ofc my best boy Haiji. Once I got through that bit, it all started flowing like chocolate sauce at a Golden Corral.

There's a lot of juicy bits upcoming, some of which people have been eagerly awaiting. One of them is obvious. Others, you might hate me for?? But also I hope you'll love them, because you're all screwed up like me.

So yeah, I'm not promising weekly updates anymore, but the juices are flowing, the sun is shining, the mold is blooming in my bedroom, and I'm slowly getting back on my mood stabilizers.

If anyone wants to talk about mental health, or ask me anything personal, feel free, you won't offend or upset me. Or, don't say anything, and just keep reading! Or stop reading, idk, it's your life.

[solidssnakeass]

I didn't want to have to do this, because I hoped it would stop if I resolved it internally, but as of today (Oct 29th) it's been going on for a full week, and is showing no signs of letting up. CW for online harassment.

This is a "callout post" for @spaghetti-doodle413 AKA sMolBean413 AKA autiecon (and POTENTIALLY otacOnxmiku69 on AO3). This person changes their name any chance they get, and I have no doubt that they have more accounts than just this (on AO3 or otherwise). I've banned multiple accounts from them and they changed two of them shortly after.

For months, this person has been harassing people on AO3, and it appeared to be specifically targeted at the inhabitants of my otasune discord server. They were saying things like "If I ran the otasune discord, I wouldn't let you put out garbage like this" and offering (incredibly hostile, passive-aggressive) "constructive criticism" on fics. I had several members of my server come forward and tell me what was going on, and I banned them without confronting them directly.

The morning after that, I got this comment on my own fic. It was enough proof for me; who else would recall a conversation that happened back in June aside from the people involved?

After the ban, I naïvely believed that this whole issue would be put to rest, but I woke up to a TON of comments on my AO3 fics asking for me to DM them on discord and let them back in the server.

I obviously didn't let them back into the server, but I eventually did DM them, giving them an earful and showing the proof that I had gathered directly to them. I was then harassed by several of their friends on twitter, who, despite the plethora of evidence I had to prove it was them harassing people in my server, refused to believe me and instead accused ME of creating a fake AO3 account to harass myself on fics that are several years old and for a different fandom. They also messaged people I regularly interact with in the Yakuza fandom in an attempt to "dig up" proof that I would do something like this.

Now, aside from the fact that this is absolutely fucking ridiculous, I was streaming Persona 4 on my YouTube channel for 10 hours, while ALSO on discord voice chat with 5 of my friends. I was pinged by a mod in the middle of my stream about the issue, but didn't ban them until my mod Raz (Fred Beefurst) who I was on VC with mentioned it to me. You can see that reflected by the timestamps.

Fast forward a few days, and they ended up making several new accounts to rejoin my server. The first two screenshots were taken yesterday, but in the time between the whole thing happening and the time I took the rest of the screenshots today, they changed their name and pfp – you can see evidence of this in the first two pictures I gave).

Due to the fast-paced nature of the chat and everyone speaking at once, I have trimmed down the messages to focus on their reaponses (and mine, "Huey's Dead Body"). I've left the edges raw so that you can see where I merged them.

After this, someone in my otasune server who also shares another mutual server with the original "smolbean" discord account (#8379) privately DMed them, where they essentially 100% confirmed it was them. I take particular offense to them using the R slur, as I am autistic myself (smolbean also claims that they are autistic, but I believe that they are using this as an excuse for their toxic behavior, which was their excuse to ME when I called them out for this harassment).

Please be wary of this person, they are a manipulative liar, have harassed many of my friends over AO3, and don't appear to be stopping any time soon. If you receive a comment from them on your fics, DO NOT engage with them, delete it. They're looking for people to bully.
