Milestone Monday!

Crowning Love 💒💍

On this day, February 10, 1840, Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha at the Chapel Royal in St. James's Palace. This marriage was significant because it united the British monarchy with the German nobility since Albert was a German prince. The two shared a deep and loving relationship, characterized by a strong partnership. Victoria was just 20 years old at the time, while Albert, her first cousin, was 21.

This royal wedding established traditions that continue to be practiced today. Departing from the previous custom of private nighttime ceremonies, Victoria wanted her subjects to witness the bridal procession, so she held hers during the day. This led to the highly publicized royal weddings we see today. She also wore a white satin dress at a time when the norm was to wear a variety of colors, ranging from red or pink to brown or black.  This sparked a surge in white wedding dresses, ultimately contributing to the established tradition we see in modern weddings today.

The couple had nine children, and their offspring married into various European royal families, earning her the nickname "the grandmother of Europe." After Albert's premature death in 1861, Victoria mourned deeply and wore black for the rest of her life, contributing to her public image as a figure of mourning and loss. Their love story remains one of the most romantic in royal history.

I can't believe lavenoor told you to take down your Disney fanfic, that makes me really sad. As long as it wasn't copy-paste plagiarism it shouldn't be a problem. noor's behavior screams entitlement

as a writer myself I would be so happy if I inspired other people to write stories in the same genre/Fandom. I'd even feel honored if people wrote fanfiction about my fanfiction

I feel like noor wants to hog the yandere Disney gender-bent category all for herself. Create a monopoly. which is incredibly rich from her since the source material is from the public domain, so it's not like she created something entirely new from scratch

So sorry you had that unpleasant experience with that groomer lavenoor. I hope it hasn't affected you too much and I hope you found peace. if you ever want to write a yandere Disney genderbent harem then please feel free to do so, you don't owe lavenoor anything, and lavenoor doesn't have ownership over the genre. I am sure there are many people who will support you and your work

yeah,  while  the  fic  itself  was  nothing  to  mourn,  i’m  mostly  upset  for  my  sixteen-year-old  self,  who  had  her  excitement  dashed  and  had  to  deal  with  noor’s  immaturity.  from  my  perspective,  iaptbap  is  not  a  completely  new  concept  created  from  scratch;  rather,  it’s  a  common  set-up  (the  protagonist  takes  the  role  of  the  hero / love  interest / villain  and  is  tasked  with  setting  the  plot  straight)  given  disney  princess  coating,  a  franchise  she  does  not  own.  i  can  understand  why  she  would  be  upset  if  my  work  was  just  another  yandere  fic  with  the  exact  same  names  she'd  chosen,  their  exact  personality,  and  the  exact  same  book  tower  set-up—— i’ve  seen  it  happen  before—— but  mine  wasn't,  and  she  knew  that.

there’s  a  message  count  limit  on  quotev  so  we  traded  journals  while  debating  my  right  to  write  the  fic.  looking  at  my  journal  response  gave  me  anxiety  so  i  deleted  it  (which  i  regret),  and  since’s  noor’s  deactivated,  i  can't  send  the  journal  she's  gave  me  but  here  are  some  of her  arguments,  copied  down  by  my  girlfriend  when  we  were  discussing  the  situation  afterward:

i  would  argue  that  the  similarities  she  mentioned  are  just  natural  ideas  stemming  from  disney  princess  isekai. 

yes,  the  protagonist  will  isekai  from  one  film  to  the  next  because  they  are  set  in  different  time  periods  and  have  separate worldbuilding,  that’s  what  kingdom  hearts  and  kilala  princess  did. 

yes,  there  will  be  a  mentor  character  who  explains  the  world's  rules  and  supports  the  main  character.  that’s  just  standard  fare  for  any  book,  not  just  hers.  honestly,  the  only  wrongdoing  i had admit  to  her  is  that  i  unintentionally  gave  coella  the  same  appearance  as  bookkeeper.  reader  was  alice,  while  coella  was  the  white  rabbit  from  wonderland,  so  i  thought  it’d  be  neat  if  she  had  white  hair,  tanned  skin,  and  green  eyes. because  of  this  i  agreed  to  remove  coella  even  though  it’d  require  massive  rewrites  of  the  fic,  but  nope  that  still  wasn’t  enough  for  noor.

and  yes,  naturally  the  reader  of  this  premise  would  take  on  the  role  of  the  love  interest.  that’s  just  what  anyone  would  write.  no  one  wants  to  cuck  the  original  princes.  (and  noor’s  mc  is  a  terrible  prince  but  that’s  a  discussion  for  another  day.) 

btw  it’s  beyond  me  how  she  can  claim  that  she  doesn't  own  the  premise,  yet  the  fact  that  i  plan  to  execute  it  differently  is  still  wrong  because  i’m  stealing  from  her.  girl,  pick  one  or  the  other  you  can’t  have  both. 

later,  when  i  had  to  write  an  author's  note  explaining  why  i  was  removing  the  fic  to  rework  it  because  another  author  claimed  i  was  copying  them,  she  messaged  me,  stating  she  saw  it  and  disagreed  because  “that’s  wasn’t  the  issue.”  what  do  you  mean  that  wasn’t  the  issue?  am  i  insane  or  did  you  messaged  me  to  take  down  my  fic  because  i  copied  your  premise,  even  when  i  had  given  evidence  that  i  did  not  copy  your  fic.  just  because  you  look  bad  because  you  made  a  teenage  girl  cry  doesn't  mean  anything  to  me.

and,  yes,  even  though  i  had  given  evidence  that  i did  not  copy  noor’s  fic  by  sending  her  discord  messages  of  me  working  on  it  before  reading  iaptbap,  i  decided  to  take  it  down  nevertheless  because  i  was  afraid  of  her  messaging  me  again  later  or  her  fandom  making  a  fuss.  even  though  she  stated  prior  that  she'd  let  me  keep  the  fic  if  i  had  evidence,  she  didn't  fight  me  in  the  least  about  taking  it  down.  she  even  had  the  audacity  to  ask  me  afterwards  whether  i  had  planned  on  handling  the  characters  gaining  sentience  differently  after  i  confessed  that  was  the  only  thing  of  hers  i  felt  were  similar  between  our  works. 

sorry,  and  i’m  gritting  my  teeth  as  i  write  this,  but  it  appears  to  me  that  her  genuine  intention  were  never  about  whether  i  plagiarized  her;  she  does  just  want  to  hog  the  disney  princess  premise  all  to  herself.  like  wow,  maybe  i  wouldn’t  have  felt  forced  to  "turn  your  shitty  concept  into  something  actually  good"  if  you  had  cared  even   a little  about  the  source  material! 

my  apologies  anon  dearie  for  the  long  rant but  for  a  long  time,  i  kept  wondering  if  i  was  in  the  wrong.  am  i  being  obsessive?  am  i  just  bitter  and  jealous?  no,  i  don't  think  so.  she  treated  me  horribly  and  never  apologized,  and  only  now  am  i  able  to  talk  about  it.  it’s  cathartic  honestly.
