#stealing is wrong
Text
hate to break it to you, but even if you add a handful of new sentences to a stolen fic, it's still plagiarism, sweetie.

i'm always a bit unsettled by disdain for intellectual or creative labor in leftist spaces. there's this commonly held belief that academics are a bunch of rich old white men, rather than a wide variety of people who are barely getting by. most lecturers in universities are adjuncts living paycheck to paycheck. authors make very little money as a general rule. most researchers are overworked and underpaid. and yet there's still this idea that academics are overcompensated to sit around and smoke cigars together while making shit up
#seeing the response to the plagiarism video of 'this is a victimless crime' rubs me the wrong way#these are your fellow workers who are having their work stolen by people making considerably more money#and by and large the people whose work gets stolen are the people who the plagiarists think they can more easily steal from#namely people of color and especially women of color and lgbt people of color#especially the poorest among them without substantial backing or large audiences

Pre-dating, Tim or Bernard not knowing the other isn’t straight
Tim, leaning over to look at Bernard’s phone as they chill in Tim’s bedroom: whatcha doing?
Bernard: imma send Red Robin subtle messages until I trick him into admitting he’s into guys so I can sleep with him
Tim, bi panic, blushing: you’re what?
Bernard, typing out a message on his phone: here how does this sound Tim, ‘gay af to be a detective, what are you inspecting, other men??’, sound subtle enough?
Tim, too dumbfounded to speak:
Bernard: yeah you’re right, it’s perfect, imma send it
*Tims phone goes off, and then both watch it light up, Bernard seeing the message he just sent*
Tim, picking up his phone, typing, and sending a message without saying anything, face nearly bright red as he glances over at Bernard, who is staring at him wide eyed not saying anything
Bernard, looking down at the text Tim sent him back as Red Robin that says, ‘I like you, let’s fuck’:
Bernard: hey Tim I have a couple of questions
#Bernard: first and foremost did you send this as Tim or Red Robin second most are you catfishing me or are you Red Robin#and third probably most important with or without the suit on? don’t get me wrong I’m down for either but like#Tim: woah slow down a minute#Bernard: sorry did you wanna ask something#Tim: yeah that’s how you rizz me up? coulda said something like take me to Arkham cause I’m about to steal your heart but no you sent this#Bernard: hey it worked! I still got you so you have no place to talk cause end of the day mine still enticed you enough#Tim: it definitely wasn’t your message that made me say yes Bernard#tim drake#bernard dowd#timbern#timber#bi tim drake

I drew some Jon cuz he's begrudgingly my favorite
[ID: Magnus Archives fanart of Jon Sims, a thin brown man with chin-length white-streaked hair. In the first piece, he frowns as he holds up a manila folder and says, "| know you guys hate me, but please stop hiding the statements.. I need them." The second piece shows him sitting on the floor of his office in front of his desk, biting his nails with a tired, distant expression. The lighting is dim and yellow. Captions show there's knocking followed by a muffled "Jon?"
End ID]

One hilarious thing about detco movies is that they usually play an anti-piracy warning beforehand, and it's always so ironic when Kaito appears in them. I firmly believe Kaito would want you to pirate as much as possible actually
#detective conan#dcmk#detco#magic kaito#Kaitou kid#'oh but kaito doesnt like stealing' well first of all he does have fun with it#i believe the reason he dislikes it its not because its morally wrong (it isnt) but rather that it strains his relationship aoko and her dad#like he knows at least 2 other thieves who actually dont give their stuff back and never snitched on them i dont think the issue is that its#a crime lol. he doesnt care#anyways piracy is important for archiving goals and morally good (for multiple reasons) i dont think hed have a problem with it

Please DO NOT use AI to generate fanfic
Not reblogging because I don't want to bash, but a day after hearing that OpenAI has scraped AO3 to train their writing AI, I've just seen a Tumblr post with AI-generated 'fanfic'.
The billions of hours of labour that millions of fanfic writers have given, hoping for nothing in return but comments and kudos, has been taken and used to train a for profit AI owned by Elon Musk. [So many people have nit-picked this, I'm editing to add: while Elon does not outright own this, as I believed at time of writing, based on the info linked, he did INVEST HEAVILY in it. This does not constitute deliberate misinformation and is honestly not that a significant difference FFS.]
This is bad, guys.
It's bad because it's fundamentally wrong, because it endangers fan works, and because it's illegal.
Not illegal in the way that fanfiction is legally questionable but now broadly defensible by highly trained OTW lawyers. Illegal in the way that copyrighted works and characters have been used for profit to create works with Open AI.
It's wrong not just because the works are created without consent from the labour of authors who won't see a penny, but because the aim of AIs like Open AI is to replace the work of professional writers.
You may use Open AI to make a silly fanfic and have a good laugh, but that's not what Elon wants it for.
If you hate what's happened to Twitter, you should be really, really scared about this.
It endangers fanworks because it awakens the power and might of brands like Disney, who have mostly stopped trying to sue fancreators (although they really, really did used to, and not that long ago) for using their IP and especially for writing LGBTQ+ fic. They're mostly willing to turn a blind eye because we aren't making any money.
But that's not what Elon wants to do. And they might start caring again if they see Open AI writing Stucky (follow the link, it writes Stucky omegaverse fic at the merest mention of Steve) and it obviously does so because it used AO3 as its source material.
You and I know it's not any fic writer's fault, but I don't think Disney cares, and it's cheaper to battle AO3 than Elon.
I should stress: AO3 admins are aware. It's been reported. do not clog up their inboxes reporting it again.
The above reasons and more are all arsenal in the armoury of OTW's lawyers. But that's still a battle to fight.
In the meantime, the very least you can do is NOT USE OPEN AI.
Not for a laugh. Not for anything.
And please: spread the word.

One of Marisha's great strengths as a performer is that she's completely unafraid to let her characters be wrong. She keeps to their characters and if that brings them into conflict with the party? She leans into it, whether or not their actions are morally correct. That's why her performance at the end of c3e95 was so good. She played Laudna completely in character and sympathetically while still allowing her to be unambiguously in the wrong
#laudna is sympathetic!#she is being manipulated!#the moment she turned what could have been a conversation into sneaking around#attacking orym in his sleep#and trying to steal his stuff?#she became the one in the wrong#and marisha leaned into that#denying laudna her wrongness obfuscates how good marisha's performance was#critical role#critical role spoilers#cr spoilers

My favorite thing about Annabeth is her wardrobe.
Cause like, Rick simplifies her clothes in a way a man would, and you can tell.
Cause in EVERY book, from The Lightning Thief to Chalice, she’s in the goddamn CHB shirt. With like some shorts or cargo pants. Nothing more, nothing less.
He’s made improvements over the years, giving her some other clothes. But he’ll always come back to old faithful.
Like, he most definitely did it on accident, but he made her so Adam Sandler and I love it
#and she def walks around in basketball shorts and a wife beater#+ the fact that she probably steals Percy’s clothes#like don’t get me wrong she looks awesome#I just think it’s funny#and with Rick’s books you can tell by the fashion that it’s a man writing#AND SHES THE ONLY ONE#besides Jason#Jason also only wears his purple t-shirt#I’m pretty sure he died in it#but everyone else has a sense of fashion#even if it’s a little bit#I love her#she’s so Adam Sandler coded#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo series#pjo hoo toa#pjo tv show#heroes of olympus#pjo#percy jackson#annabeth chase

Imagine if Machete was Muslim instead of Catholic. His name would be something like Saif سيف, and Vasco would probably be something like Dhahabi ذَهَبِيّ
.
#I don't know Arabic so I can't weigh in that much but if you say so!#it seems like these mean “sword” and “golden” respectively that's neat#Machete wouldn't be able to cling to his Catholic guilt in that case#I don't think Islam has the same concept of original sin that Christianity does#I'm simplifying but it's a belief that humans are born with an innate tendency for evil sinning is part of our nature#and staying on the positive and in God's good graces requires a lot of repentance which can lead to excess guilt and shame#I could be wrong but I'm under the impression that this idea of a manufacturing error is a very Christian thing#sorry I know you didn't sign up to hear me try to talk about big theology things and I don't want to make it weird#but I find this stuff really interesting I unironically like to read and think about how religions work#and how they shape things they come in contact with#in Machete's case in particular his troubled relationship with God and his career choice are big parts of his character#and why he turned the way he did and thinks the way he does you know#answered#kachavashka#Dhahabi is such a regal sounding name#I'd steal that in a heartbeat if I didn't already have one extremely gold-coded character

Just another dp x dc idea. I think #6
Im just imagining Danny whose been up for the last week collecting his rouges extremely sleep deprived. He is dropping them off in the ghost zone far away from his parents portal cause he doesn’t want to deal with them.
He debated just leaving them in the thermos but decided against it cause it was bulging at this point.
Skulker makes an appearance as he’s releasing them. Wanting of course his pelt on his wall. Danny doesn’t even notice getting body slammed into a natural portal.
One second he’s in the ghost zone the next a coffee shop on a broken table with a robot ghost trying to kill him. Danny just grabs some guys coffee it was just pure shots of expresso. Good he needed the caffeine to deal with this bs.
He doesn’t acknowledge he stole someone’s coffee or the broken table.
He soups skulker and goes back through the portal before it closes again ignoring the confused looks. He just wanted to go to bed.
Tim drake was confused and mad. Someone stole his coffee and now he had to deal with an unknown potential threat.
Stealing his coffee is what made it personal
#danny fenton#danny phantom#dc x dp#dp x dc#dp x dc prompt#dp dc crossover#tim drake#Danny is tired#he just wants to sleep#was stealing that coffee wrong#probably but who cares#Tim had to order a new one. they made him pay again#it wasn’t the baristas fault someone stole his coffee#it was Gotham after all#the barista couldn’t risk loosing another sale#Tim just deep dives into hunting the coffee thief down#after Danny finally sleeps he feels guilty for stealing someone’s coffee
