if you want people to get into the canon comics and lead everyone away from fanon misinterpretation (which is a losing battle because there will ALWAYS be this) then why not be helpful instead of being a dick about it 🤨
the comics are hard to get into because it's hard to know where to start, and there's so much content that people are able to fill themselves in by reading fanfic or watching something on tiktok or seeing posts about it on here. perhaps instead of telling people they're stupid for not realizing your favorite character is being mishandled by others, you could write up a list of your favorite comics and/or how, if you could read them for the first time again, you would order your favorite comics to get the best reading experience. and also write your own fanfiction and draw your own fanart or make a passionate post, answer questions politely
#this is based on that one tiktok user who is actually doing some good#where they are fighting misinterpretation of batfam characters by making informational slideshows#i forgot their username so if someone knows who i'm talking about would be really cool and awesome if you could remind me :3#i saw their posts and was like “wow someone who can talk about canon and their opinions without just complaining”#proactive and i like it#on the other hand sometimes there is a healthy medium and it won't kill canon lovers to let people have some fun#it's not hard to be nice guys you just don't call people stupid and you ask questions#and i don't mean passive aggressive questions#i mean a genuine conversation without getting butthurt#i'm looking at BOTH sides when i say that#anyways if you want to#use this post to list your favorite comics and/or how you would advise someone to read your favorite character#etc etc#ik there are lists online#but this could also be a place to find it#dc#dc comics#batman#batfam#batman comics#batman and robin#ao3#ao3 fanfic#fandom#dc fandom#comic book#comics order#dc reading list#batman reading list#canon vs fanon

that lancali girl who keeps popping up on my social media talking about what a successful poetic writer she is and then she shares something she’s written and every time with no exception it is one of the worst most embarrassing pieces of literature ive ever read like the cringiest purple prose you can imagine and everyone in the comments is talking about how it’s history-making and the most be beautiful thing they’ve ever read..and yes i do blame taylor swift for this
#all of her writing is like im a daughter born of ashes and flame my heart dripping black like a night sky where the sun took the moon for an#eternal lover it could never greet with a kiss as sweet as honey that would ache in every rib..#genuinely saw a poem she wrote today about how she’s a poet who writes about ugly things to reflect the ugly things she feels inside and#she bleeds therefore she is…and someone in the comments called it history-making..girls i think it’s time to pick up a book..and no ao3#doesn’t count..and no that romantasy the blah of blah and blah book doesn’t count either..#does ANYONE know what im talking about.

I can't believe I have to spell it out but if you really really want to repost something you saw on tumblr to some other platform please credit the original creator??? And no, "credit to the owner" does NOT count 🙄🙃
#asking to not repost at all or even not miscaption things would be probably too much lol but at least credit people???#I thought it was obvious but apparently not???#I'm blocking everyone I saw doing it with my stuff but they still find a way somehow???#I know I should probably sign everything but I can't be bothered + have too many unsigned things to start doing it out of nowhere +#+ don't think most of them are That Good lol#but I still spend my own time on things even if they are silly and simple and unoriginal??? they don't materialise out of thin air???#like I don't want to sound like an arrogant bitch; fandom is just a hobby that distracts me from The Horrors -#- but stumbling upon something I made without a link to my tumblr or my username mentioned is upsetting#especially if it's done by a fandom old or whatever it's called🙄#sorry I don't want to be an anonymous content provider for your 1300 stupid twitter followers 🙃🙃🙃#I whine a lot lately don't I#but like why can't they even steal a gifset properly and have to make an ugly screenshot of it instead😭#oh and while I'm at it - attaching fics as files to download without a link to ao3 (or even the author's name) is not ok either imo ://#this most likely won't reach the intended audience BUT STILL#maybe I'm overreacting but it has been annoying me for a while now -#- and seeing A SCREENSHOT of my gifset in the wild without my name posted by someone who I was SURE I blocked was the last straw I guess 🙃

Any moment now I will work out the meaning of the meme I just made.
#i think i saw someone say nobody says Man Loki and i do but only to troll people (As We All Know his real name is Man Sylvie)#and then obviously the third one needed to be the alligator because... i dunno it just did.#loki memes#loki series#DID YOU KNOW fanfiction dot net still thinks Sylvie is called “The Variant/Lady Loki”????#they truly surpassed AO3's occasionally dumb character tags with that one: good work there Pit of Voles#(why did we call it that? i never did find out.)

don't mind me i'm just watching some monsterfucker movies for 'research' purposes
#getting some inspiration for this werewolf horror story#when i came up with the idea i had three movies in mind#dracula 2000 obviously because that's the one i was watching at the time#but i was also thinking of The Mummy 1999#and so i watched that last night#and tonight i'm gonna watch a movie i only saw once but has lived in my head rent free#this movie is one i watched because Youtube suggested a review video for it and the review said it was awful#but the reason it was awful was because the monster noncon-ed the main female character#so i of course went 👀 and had to watch it#it is just objectively a badly done movie but it played with some fun ideas#so it helped inspire some things for my own writing#and for anyone worried i'm copying or stealing things for my own books: i'm not making money off my writing and i post it to ao3#which is a fanfiction website#and even if i am heavily inspired by something you can rest assured it's my own take on the idea#i'm not James Somerton emotionlessly reading out someone else's writing#while the spark of inspiration may come from others it's all my own words and imagination bringing my version to life#and i'd never try to hide where i got ideas from#one of my stories (that I may post soon) is literally called Twilight But Better rofl

Jesper calling Kaz "boss" is truly my last straw for exiting out of so many fics
#they're best friends!#Kaz calls him “Jes”#isn't calling Kax “boss” kinda degrading it spells out a completely different dynamic for them#I once saw someone do it in a way where Jesper was obviously pissed and being sarcastic lmao#one of the show's many poisons on our Ao3 tag lmao#anti shadow and bone#anti s&b#it's always a slap im the face ngl

Another thing that needs to be settled before it really gets started:
Wayne (or whatever tf his name is) loved all of his children. Yes, it is obvious that Richie was his favorite, and I think Quinn was second, but that doesn’t mean that he didn’t love Ethan, too. I’ve seen people saying this, or implying this, or outright calling him a shit father (he was shit at parenting, yes); they take his one (1) line about “a special bond between a father and his first son” and decide he was shit to Ethan or something. 🙄
Most parents, good ones and bad ones, will say their child who made them a parent (first child) is extra special. And that makes sense. Most parents, good or bad, with more than 1 child have a favorite, whether they say it or not. They shouldn’t tell the kids, but it’s usually obvious. And just because Wayne said that one line doesn’t mean that he went around saying, “Hey, Ethan, Richie is my favorite!”
That man very obviously loved his children, and I will not hear otherwise! This is like when the little Billy fangirls make Hank Loomis out to be an abusive father when we’ve never seen or heard any indication of such. 🙄 But this is even worse because we are told and shown that Wayne was devoted to his family.
This bullshit narrative also majorly pisses me off because the simps are implying that Ethan didn’t do it for his brother. He was clearly upset about Sam murdering Richie. Ethan already had a good motive (by Scream standards, anyway); you don’t need to make one up!
#And HOW ON EARTH is “I want Daddy to love me as much as he loves my brother” a better motive than “I want to avenge my brother!” ?? 🤨#I saw someone calling him a shit father to Ethan before on AO3. 🙄#And today I read ''Ethan did it for his father's love'' PLEASE! 😭😭#He already has his dad's love. HE DID IT BECAUSE LOVES AND MISSES HIS BROTHER!!#(PRESENT-TENSE. 😤 THEY'RE FINE. 😤)#kirsch family#wayne bailey#ethan landry#richie kirsch#quinn bailey#jack champion#scream vi#scream 6#scream series#commentary#commentary: scream series#rant#text post#scream vi spoilers#scream 6 spoilers

While we're here, I just want to add an example of a good response to Harris' video.
In the first half of the video, Harris briefly mentions a creator called Lukeypoo (who now goes by Luke Stephens) who had plagiarised Harris' Bloodborne review, and his response at the time was to deny it, signal to his alt right buddies and insult Harris.
After the video came out, Luke Stephens made a post on his community page regarding it:
For those, who can't see the screenshots, it reads:
A video went up on YouTube last night that showed something I did 6 years ago in early 2017, of which I'm very ashamed. I've talked about it on stream plenty since then and try to be very open about it, but I know a lot of people haven't been watching me since 2017 or have not heard me discuss this before. I don't want to hide from my mistakes or deflect, so very plainly here's what happened:
I was just starting on YouTube and I ripped off a phenomenal video on Bloodborne. It was a fantastic video by hbomberguy and after finding it through a Reddit post I tried to take his 1.5 hour masterpiece and make my own suckier version at around 7 minutes. I copied the premise, jokes, structure, and then pretended like it was all just a coincidence that they were so similar. I was a 19 year old idiot who thought it didn't matter because "he's a bigger creator so it's fine" and "it's just the internet." When I was rightly called out for copying his video I dodged, lied, and even attacked and insulted the appearance of those holding me to account, including hbomberguy himself. I copied someone's video, in parts word-for-word, and I pretended like *I* was the victim and *they* were being unreasonable. Unbelievable. There is no question at all: I was in the wrong, fully.
Let me be very clear: I whole heartedly disown who I was back then and what I did. Politically, religiously, and even morally/ethically I was a person that I hate today. I was an extremist, a bully, a religious zealot, and above all, a prick. This event sparked a spiral in my personal life that I didn't document online, but that has led me to who I am today. Someone who tries very hard to respect my fellow creators, audience, and to uphold a high ethical standard for myself. I strive every day to be a better man for myself, my family and kids, and for the community around me. And that's why I'm writing this, because I don't think we should hide from our mistakes or pretend they didn't happen. I screwed up, big time, and I stole the hard work of an incredibly talented creator and for that I'm incredibly sorry. I was 19, hard headed, and above all arrogant and unwilling to acknowledge I had screwed up. It took a couple years after that before I could openly admit what I had actually done, and that it took that long is all the more shameful.
I don't expect a response or certainly forgiveness, but for what it's worth, I am truly sorry for everything, @hbomberguy
For the last 6 years I've been working my butt off to be someone I can be proud of being and I hope you all can see that the man I am today is not the shameful excuse of a person I was back then.
I've never watched a video or stream by Luke Stephens so I can't attest as to his content, but this is one of the best responses I've seen to any kind of accusation, and so I lean towards believing him to be a better man than he was six years.
I thinks it's important to highlight the good response/s to Harris' video, to remind ourselves that plagiarism is not such an immoral action that from which you can't redeem yourself (though in Somerton's case, I'm less sure of that) if you take accountability for your actions, and to remember that in most cases, we should give people space to grow and become better.
The swiftness and brutality of Hbomberguy’s complete evisceration of James Somerton’s career cannot be overstated.
#i saw this a few days ago and its stayed on my mind#and i havent seen many other people talk about it so i thought i would#also this is unrelated by im not gonna ever put this in an actual post so im going to use these tags to get it off my chest#i rewatched the video yesterday and it aas during harris' speech about how art is difficult and a skill#that i kinda had an epiphany i guess#(have not used that word in a while huh)#because thrice within the last few years#ive come across fics on ao3 where while i wouldnt call it plagiarism the authors did very much steal a considerable amount from my fics#some less than others#one of them used some of the exact same sentences as mine so i guess that one was plagiarism#but they all took a nontrivial amount of ideas or plotbeats or phrasings from my fics#and each time i was in three minds: 1) i found it kinda funny honestly though i cant articulate why; 2) i was flattered because i dont#really think my fics are worth stealing from; and 3) holy shit i baked one of the holy shit two cakes#i wasnt really upset by it especially because i know my work has been inspired by fics i love at times#but after rewatching harris' video#i realised it wasnt that i wasnt upset but that i wasnt allowing myself to be#because i didnt consider my work as something you could steal from? i didnt consider it worthy of that#like not as in ''oh i didnt know my art was that good'' but as in ''oh i didnt know my work was art''#so ive been allowing myself to be upset about it since then#and all those emotions are probably tangled up in the roots of the treehouse luke stephens' response is squatting in#because like#im not going to do anything about it like im not going to accuse the authors of plagiarism#even the one who stole exact sentences mostly because their writing is indicative of a 13 year old and mate im 23#ive been writing since i was 11. i know what its like to be starting out as a newbie writer it just feels mean for me to call them out#and if theyve stolen lines from me theyre going to have done it to other people and im sure theres someone else who feels more comfortable#in approaching them about it#but anyway back to my point#im not going after any of these people in anyway but if i did id want their response to be like this

So I read all 900+ pages of project 2025's Mandate for Leadership because I felt like it was my responsibility bc being informed about what's coming is important for both my personal life and my job (case management/outreach/homelessness services) and honestly now that I've finished like it's insane how much misinformation there is?? about it out there
#the life and times#like shit is really bad#we're trotting into fascism#but like?#people are saying the weirdest#most fearmongering shit#about INCONSEQUENTIAL THINGS#that have nothing to do ??? with the real horrors?#i saw someone on tiktok say the mandate for leadership#calls for ao3 to be banned#and i'm like#do you have two fucking braincells#to squeak together
