#Disney didn't let anyone use their properties just because they made twst

[hallowed-delights]

I've been drama clean in this fandom for a year but yk what i deserve to respond to this

First of all i wanna correct your original post, disney OWNS Marvel entertainment, same goes for Lucas films, Fox and so many other companies, media etc.

So your Marvel example was wrong from the beginning

Tracing is bad. No argument there don't trace.

Following your logic.. Yana doesn't own the Disney movies either? Yana just works for Disney, i don't understand the logic from your Black butler example because Twisted Wonderland characters' whole point is that they are INSPIRED/TWISTED from others, Black butler doesn't have the same thing?

Also fun fact did you know Sebastian shares his name with a real life inquisitor? Who wrote about demons! Interesting :)

Maybe Bungou stray dogs, an fandom where they make OCS based on REAL WRITERS would be a better example, i mean you don't own Jane Austen or William Shakespeare- Oh wait they are dead woops their works are public domain too!

Anyways! Disney doesn't own the original fairy tales either, they are written down by people like Grimm brothers, Charles Perrault etc. So did Disney steal their characters by that logic? Winnie the Pooh was created by Alexander Milne, Disney still made their own Winnie the Pooh. Again did they steal for Milne? Hunchback of Notre Dame was a book by Victor Hugo, Pocahontas was A REAL PERSON who's story was terribly romanticized by Disney (now that's a twst oc you probably shouldn't make)

But also there's the real thing: We're just artists on tumblr, we're not multi million corporations PROFITING out of our creations, we're not talking credit from the original studios or creators. Design wise yeah I'm a little guilty of that i admit but i can always change and tweak the designs, make them more unique because they aren't a consistent part of a series they are FAN creations. I can change them however i please (even though some of twst characters themselves look like their original inspirations, just ✨anime-ified✨ looking at Idia)

John Carpenter isn't gonna fly to my country just to sue me over my silly little anime Michael Myers, Bram Stoker or Roald Dahl aren't going to leap out of their graves to beat the shit out of me, the ancient Greeks aren't going to get me because i gave Dionysius huge boobs (if they did they'd probably come for Disney too), THE CATHEDRAL OF NOTRE DAME ISN'T GONNA BE OFFENDED BECAUSE I MADE AN ANIME BOY.

I doubt anyone claims they own Nintendo or Universal, i certainly don't, my friends don't, no one is taking credit from these famous companies or media. I'm not taking credit from Behavior studios (who have inspired and taken inspiration from other studios and media, Identify V sound familiar?) because i made an silly Disney game oc based on their very popular game Dead by Daylight. Disney themselves didn't consent to anyone making ocs within Disney to use their movies either its all just fan work.

I think that's all i want to say, the gist of it is no one is profiting, no one is stealing credit and you have no right to insult (your very rude and proudly insensitive tone in your original post i,calling it plain plagiarism), let people have fun, no one's oc is hurting you. Block button is free.

if you don't want drama don't make posts like that and put it in the main tags it really is that simple

Links to more topics i wanted to discus but couldn't find a right place to mention:

Public domain, movies in public domain

Is fan art illegal/legal? Anne Rice

Sam Raimi and Wes Craven referencing each other even

Disney's very scummy practices, attempt to copyright day of the death, oh hey my old friend Public domain!

Edit added silly comparison image

Just something I wanted to say in general...

Don't let others in the fandom tell you how you are supposed to make characters... do what is the most fun to you. If you wanna Twist something outside of Disney but are unsure, Just do it as long as it's fun.

Hourglass Station academy to me was the most fun project I had and got me so many people to talk about similar interests... and I do want people to go wild and interpret characters their own way so.

All I wanna say it loosen Up, don't force yourself into guidelines others give you and just enjoy creating.

Original characters, things twisted from movies, Games and other Sources are as valid as Disney stuff.
