ok, once more I realize that my own kindness and friendliness has been taken for implied consent, and as always, the troubles that are brewing now are connected to OCs.

So let me be clear and frank one more time, one last time, because I have NO INTENTION of going through what I went through in 2021.

While I am always immensely happy that my Original Characters are enjoyed and that they can serve as source of inspiration, they are NOT however a template for anyone to base their OCs on.

They are not something that you can take in their entirety, change whatever suits you, and then call it your own.

It doesn't work like that, especially because, and allow me to reiterate this once and for all, OCs are *immensely* personal.

They are an extention of the soul of the person that creates them.

So taking whatever suits your fancy and use it for the "aesthetic" or the "vibes" is immensely disrespectful and, dare I say, rather impertinent, especially when both characters happen to belong to the same fandom.

Now, I am not talking about certain tropes and subjects that are typical of certain genre, of course not.

We are all somehow reinveting something that's already there when we work with OCs and stories.

What I am talking about is taking certain specific idiosyncrasies that make a certain character unique, change them to suit your character, and then being SO IMPERTINENT to just call it your own and parading it around without even having the courtesy to quote the person that has inspired you, taking advantage of the fact that I am just a small creator with a small following.

This is a huge No No for me.

Huge.

I appreciate that other creators might have a different opinion or perspective when it comes to OCs, and while I do not share entirely in that, I sure as hell respect it.

But allow me to be crystal clear: if this happens to me, like it had in 2021, that's the *easiest* way to lose all respect I might harbour for you, and I seldomly get mad or angry.

I am always accomodating, always supportive, and I think I have proven it aplenty in the past few years.

But this is something that I cannot condone nor agree with.

And it's not just a matter of ethic, in this sense: it's a matter of also hurting me, and literally put my whole creative process into shamble.

It's a matter of having respect of others.

Now, you might say: who cares if they hurt you? they are characters that do not exist, just move on and have thicker skin!

Well, as I said above, for when it concerns myself, my OCs are an extention of my own soul, a way for me to formulate and explain feelings that sometimes I have a hard time let out; a way for me to actually face, fragmentize and analyze my own trauma through them;

and most important of all, they are OFTEN a love letter to both the world I am exploring with them AND my own husband and child, such as in the case of Jacob and Dorothea,for whom, as I said often in the past 5 years, I have poured A LOT from myself and my husband's own story.

You could say that it probably my fault for having bared my feelings so much and poured so much of myself into a character;

And you might be correct, because I have learned my lesson, and ever since Dorothea and Jacob, no other character has been infused with as much of my own being as they were.

but that doesn't mean that it stings any less when I see it unravels in front of my eyes.

I am tired.

[nemo-in-wonderland]

Ok, I am kinda all busy on my own arthuriana/asoiaf AU thingy that I have going on since 2021.

BUT.

I want to know something, because I am not entirely sure how Dottie would be perceived in terms of which House she would belong to.

Like, I asked a few friends, but there was no consensus on the answer.

So now I want to hear your opinion.

SO BRING IT ON.

It is December in all parts of the world, so I must remind you all:

For Dorothea's Christmas theme in FEH she has a love heart-shaped box of chocolates with Edelgard's emblem engraved on it with a mistletoe on it.

Dorothea canonly wants to kiss Edelgard.

EDELTHEA RIGHTS BABY!

Fresh out the Slammer x High Infidelity

So the 2016 Met Gala. A night that is so wrapped up in the Taylor SwiftTM folklore. Being there with Tom. Crushing on Toe. All while dancing with Karlie. She bent the truth too far that night. She was dancing around, dancing around the truth. And it continued throughout the summer. But she's still doing it. Another summer taking cover. To the house where you wait up, where the porch light gleams. She still visits her lover in the darkness. She was with her in dreams. But her times up. It's time for release!

For more reflections:

You know there's many different ways That you can kill the one you love The slowest way is never loving them enough

That summer she spent so much time parading around with Tom. Had but just one hour of her sunshine.

But Fresh Out the Slammer is a reflection on this period in life. This is the story. She did her time, she's running home. Soon but not yet

Another summer taking cover, rolling thunder He don't understand me

She's still stuck doing her masquerading. Here we go again. Handcuffed and under a spell. Hating the bearding but having to spend the time doing it and it becoming all consuming. Because remember, when she is out and about with the toys, she isn't with her sunshineeee~~

Now pretty baby, I'm running back home to you Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to

The slammer is her bearding. But daily disappearing for just a glimpse of his smile. Once she's done with that, you know the only other person she cares about.

Camera flashes, welcome bashes Get the matches, toss the ashes off the ledge As I said in my letters, now that I know better I will never lose my baby again

We're setting fire to the manuscript. She's saying case I didn't make it clear, I've been telling you in my songs, I will never lose my baby again OK

Now, pretty baby, I'm running To the house where you still wait up, and that porch light gleams

She's still talking about visiting her lover in the darkness. Her lover waits up. Leaves the porch light on for her. For now.

To the one who says I'm the girl of his American dreams And no matter what I've done, it wouldn't matter anyway Ain't no way I'm gonna screw up now that I know what's at stake Here, at the park where we used to sit on children's swings Wearing imaginary rings 💔

But it's gonna be alright, I did my time

writing rizzles and look I know. I know it would take a lot to get Jane to read any poetry, probably especially old poetry or romantic poetry, or god forbid old romantic poetry. but listen because

a) Jane is one competitive motherfucker. if I can frame it as competitive, even just theoretically, all bets are off. and

b) there is actually not one single thing Jane Clementine Rizzoli would not do for Maura Dorothea Isles
