okay just to clear this up since people are spreading misinfo even though the truth is way funnier. SHERLOCK HOLMES HAS BEEN IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN FOR AGES. a few stories haven't, sure, but the doyle estate doesn't give a fuck what you do with him either way. he was already gay in 1970 (private life of sh) and was a jolly & emotional guy in 1979 (murder by decree).
when you see people/articles saying the ""doyle estate"" threatened to sue people for things, such as guy ritchie for making him too gay in his 2009&2011 movies, that is NOT THE DOYLE ESTATE!!!!!! all those stories are about one single woman, Andrea Plunket. her claim to Holmes is that she married someone who owned US copyrights to some Holmes stories but the thing is. they got divorced in the NINETIES and she has Zero claims to Holmes. she's literally going insane about Holmes possibly being gay thirty years after her husband owned the rights to him, she literally never has and never will, and people have been doing whatever they wanted to Holmes for decades now. it's obviously all a play to squeeze some money out of anyone she can, the entire story is so insane i suggest you guys look it up and read about it more but tldr:

Complex feelings about copyright and Disney's appalling ethics aside, it does unsettle me how quickly people jump to make and monetize the most unnerving, depraved content imaginable about characters created for children the second it hits the public domain

With Steamboat Willie Mickey becoming public domain, I keep thinking it's too bad the Animaniacs reboot was cancelled the year before it happened.
I'm just saying him interacting with the Warners (since in-universe they were drawn like a year after Mickey, so they embody the same era) or even Pinky and the Brain would've led to something way more creative or at least funny than cheap horror or having him *insert random vulgar act here*.

since I've been making so many citizen memes lately here are the headcanons I came up with for how megapolis/the general public views the plot
pigsy's noodles is the waffle house of megapolis. there are like 2 dozen yin & jin level demons who routinely start shit and pigsy's noodles will stay open through all of them. you only need to be worried about demons when they close early
coincidentally, the pigsy's noodles delivery app will always show the driver heading straight towards danger. there are several conspiracies that the driver is the monkie kid (no one believes them)
the "mayor" actually did assume government office and no one liked him. the editorials in the papers were scathing and he was always in those hideous political cartoons
the jttw fandom discourse was INSANE after the monkie kid appeared. everything is rpf now. everyone on twitter is getting cancelled. new fans who joined because of mk and dbk are getting dragged through the mud. november 5th of megapolis fr
mk has a sizeable following of hardcore fans from edits of shitty news footage. same with dbk. these groups duke it out online daily
mei's streams are legendary for always capturing current events (especially with lbd because you bet the mayor was doing media coverups)
red son is a local cryptid. the delivery kid subreddit has so many theories about why they hang out. weather station demon/pigsy's noodles delivery kid has 6 fics on ao3 for some reason

Do you think if I @ the Duffer brothers they’ll just give us the character of Billy?😆 Like if you’re gonna throw that away, can I have it please? I have the perfect home for him thanks!
We could write a screenplay where Billy actually has a chance and kicks supernatural ass, and I bet you we could raise enough money that maybe Dacre would even do it. And once we have Dacre I think Joe will be an easy sell.

Everyone taking the Steamboat Willie design and making it do things Disney wouldn't sanction like....
you could have done that anyway. Disney would not have sued you for that. He didn't need to be in the public domain for you to do that.
Disney would have had a problem with you if you tried to sell Steamboat Willie. Not that you made him swear ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Public Domain is about being able to sell your version of the character, not "do whatever you like with it for free". You could do whatever you like with it on the internet anyway, you will not face consequence. Just as long as you didnt try to make money off of it - no one was going to come after you.

this body for @topharryficfest
harry/louis | explicit | coworkers/casual friends to lovers | 15k | body worship | trans harry
“I guess I’ve pegged myself, though—does that count?”
Nell and Suraiya lean their heads together to confer in exaggerated whispers while Harry tucks one leg behind the other, trying as hard as he can to not vividly imagine hot Louis Tomlinson from work stretched out with a dildo up his ass.
“The information about your self-pleasure is appreciated, but we’re defining pegging as something you receive from someone else,” Suraiya clarifies with an authoritative nod. Harry grins in Louis’ direction and Louis raises his hands in admission. “One day, I’d love to,” he says to a round of encouraging cheers from around the circle.
Harry tries not to choke on his beer when Louis winks at him from across the fire.
or, louis wants to be pegged. harry helps him out
