hi everyone. long story still long because i'm not really in the mood to get into it. someone plagiarized my summertime record fic a while back and instead of admitting it they (being a writer that used to follow me) have doubled down and refuse to acknowledge it despite the glaring similarities.
i was first introduced to the story when an anon came into my askbox to tell me that they had read a fic that was exceedingly familiar to mine. then i saw the fic on my dash a couple of times. i'm not sure if anyone remembers but this happened while i was in japan and seeing the fic i was extremely disheartened about it and a made a couple of posts about being down. fortunately i received some of the kindest most thoughtful asks ever and didn't quit writing lol. and for some additional context i was already acquainted with the writer because they had written a gojo fic eerily similar to a post i made a while back before this specific incident. i chalked this up to coincidence (which i know realize i shouldn't have) but i wanted to give them the benefit of doubt. despite my discomfort, i should've reached out. i didn't say anything or reach out this because i'm a small unpopular blog and i've seen how responses can be disproportionate when it comes to so called big vs small blog and online dogpiling since this is usually an issue that usually drags others into taking sides, etc which is exhausting. this is not saying anything serious would've happened but i didn't want to the discourse on my blog to be centered around what i believed to something insignificant. idk. i think i've always been self conscious about my identity and self worth as a writer which is why i left it. it wasn't until a friend came into my dms to tell me they had read that same fic and thought it was plagiarized that i decided it was a problem i should address. i wish they had just come into my dms to talk to me about it, but seeing as i also did not reach out because you know. life happens. i was busy irl. that would be hypocritical of me. please don't send to writer hate or anything. there are worse things in the world to be mad about.
anyway seeing as the writer is adamant that they did not plagiarize from me all i can ask is that you read the two fics and come to a conclusion yourself 👍 im not going to link the fic but seeing as they've posted about it on their blog and then decided to go on an indefinite hiatus, i'm sure you'll be able to put two and two together.

robot au that i started for my own selfish reasons and now i kinda have a story for? adding previous drawings so it can all be together.
explanation of the au below ig?
ok time for me to be completely transparent with you all, i just like robots, ford is one of my fav characters, fiddleford is engineer, boom gay robot story. it took me a while to actually think of a kinda "story" for this au, it still kinda doesn't have one, very much just a concept and aesthetic. just one rewatch of Ghost in the Shell made me want to come back to this.
but the long and short of it is:
setting: future? robotically advanced 1980s? si-fi robotic future with a 1980s aesthetic over it.
STAN-13Y (stan) and STAN-F0RD (ford) were made ~30 years ago, they were both malfunctions in the eyes of their creators. stan with his programing and ford with his misprint (an extra finger on both hands). they were made for one purpose, to make millions helping the world. while ford pursued that goal since his programing was seemingly "normal", stan was thrown out for "not having any use for his program". but ford was a lot more human then people let on, only feared that those emotions he was feeling was another malfunction just like his brother. he kept it in. eventually he went off to continue his studies on his own (was trusted to do so). on the way he found B1LL a program he trusted to be downloaded into his own, it was in fact a virus. And a trusted engineer he met that works for his creators company, fiddleford mcgucket.
now heres a screenshot of a pinterest board thats the kinda vibe i was trying to go for
little scared to post this cause i feel it might be cringe but WHATEVER!!!! IM HAVING FUN!!!!

also okay. look i know ren and doc play into the rendoc thing all the time but it is IMMENSELY funny to me that doc has decided to start directly calling ren his husband....... but only for the purpose of recusing ren as a witness because he can't be called in to testify against his own husband as a conflict of interest thing. this is insane to me. rendoc marriage is real (it is real for purposes of crime),

the thing is that they're so fascinated by sex, they love sex, they can't imagine a world without sex - they need sex to sell things, they need sex to be part of their personality, they need sex to prove their power - but they hate sex. they are disgusted by it.
sex is the only thing that holds their attention, and it is also the thing that can never be discussed directly.
you can't tell a child the normal names for parts of their body, that's sexual in nature, because the body isn't a body, it's a vessel of sex. it doesn't matter that it's been proven in studies (over and over) that kids need to know the names of their genitals; that they internalize sexual shame at a very young age and know it's 'dirty' to have a body; that it overwhelmingly protects children for them to have the correct words to communicate with. what matters is that they're sexual organs. what matters is that it freaks them out to think about kids having body parts - which only exist in the context of sex.
it's gross to talk about a period or how to check for cancer in a testicle or breast. that is nasty, illicit. there will be no pain meds for harsh medical procedures, just because they feature a cervix.
but they will put out an ad of you scantily-clad. you will sell their cars for them, because you have abs, a body. you will drip sex. you will ooze it, like a goo. like you were put on this planet to secrete wealth into their open palms.
they will hit you with that same palm. it will be disgusting that you like leather or leashes, but they will put their movie characters in leather and latex. it will be wrong of you to want sexual freedom, but they will mark their success in the number of people they bed.
they will crow that it's inappropriate for children so there will be no lessons on how to properly apply a condom, even to teens. it's teaching them the wrong things. no lessons on the diversity of sexual organ growth, none on how to obtain consent properly, none on how to recognize when you feel unsafe in your body. if you are a teenager, you have probably already been sexualized at some point in your life. you will have seen someone also-your-age who is splashed across a tv screen or a magazine or married to someone three times your age. you will watch people pull their hair into pigtails so they look like you. so that they can be sexy because of youth. one of the most common pornography searches involves newly-18 young women. girls. the words "barely legal," a hiss of glass sand over your skin.
barely legal. there are bills in place that will not allow people to feel safe in their own bodies. there are people working so hard to punish any person for having sex in a way that isn't god-fearing and submissive. heteronormative. the sex has to be at their feet, on your knees, your eyes wet. when was the first time you saw another person crying in pornography and thought - okay but for real. she looks super unhappy. later, when you are unhappy, you will close your eyes and ignore the feeling and act the role you have been taught to keep playing. they will punish the sex workers, remove the places they can practice their trade safely. they will then make casual jokes about how they sexually harass their nanny.
and they love sex but they hate that you're having sex. you need to have their ornamental, perfunctory, dispassionate sex. so you can't kiss your girlfriend in the bible belt because it is gross to have sex with someone of the same gender. so you can't get your tubes tied in new england because you might change your mind. so you can't admit you were sexually assaulted because real men don't get hurt, you should be grateful. you cannot handle your own body, you cannot handle the risks involved, let other people decide that for you. you aren't ready yet.
but they need you to have sex because you need to have kids. at 15, you are old enough to parent. you are not old enough to hear the word fuck too many times on television.
they are horrified by sex and they never stop talking about it, thinking about it, making everything unnecessarily preverted. the saying - a thief thinks everyone steals. they stand up at their podiums and they look out at the crowd and they sign a bill into place that makes sexwork even more unsafe and they stand up and smile and sign a bill that makes gender-affirming care illegal and they get up and they shrug their shoulders and write don't say gay and they get up, and they make the world about sex, but this horrible, plastic vision of it that they have. this wretched, emotionless thing that holds so much weight it's staggering. they put their whole spine behind it and they push and they say it's normal!
this horrible world they live in. disgusted and also obsessed.
