translation notes:

about Fish Cake Man (7:28)

As we state in the subtitles, this guy’s monologue isn’t something we’re equipped to translate and if we did, it probably wouldn’t make much, if any, sense to English-speaking viewers. We learned from Snow’s Japanese friend that he's a comedian who is famous for doing this particular bit. After we had already finished most of the subtitles, I rewatched seasons 1 and 2 of the show and found that he was also in the other two seasons. In the first season, when Mob is explaining about how he's a side character and intends to keep it that way, he looks at a gardener on his university campus who is pulling weeds, illustrating that the world of BL needs to include some people who are unlikely to ever become main characters. That’s this dude. He appears again in season 2, when Mob is scouring the university for signs of Kikuchi after reading his goodbye letter. In every appearance, he's shown wearing the same sort of nondescript work clothes and cap and seems to work in some kind of maintenance or cleaning capacity at National BL University. –Towel

His name is Nou Misoo (脳みそ夫) which means brain tissue. I believe there's a pun here I'm missing but you can check our his sillyness on youtube, instagram or tiktok. –Snow

about “the gods decided to smite me” (10:24)

The first version of this line said that Mob “received divine punishment” for his Mob Move. That was already a great line! But I thought it had the potential to be a little more specific and evocative in an English-speaking context. At first, I was just trying to think of something a bit more specific to replace “received.” I thought of a few possibilities, including “I was smitten by divine punishment.” But since “smitten” is barely used anymore except to describe someone who's in love, it had the wrong connotation. Then I thought about how another tense of the same verb, “smite,” avoids those connotations and has a kind of King James Bible quality. But if I was going to say “smite,” I’d have to change the sentence from passive voice to active voice (which is generally best anyway) and give the sentence a subject who is doing the smiting.

I thought a unitary, capital-G God would make it sound a little too Biblical, possibly tipping it over into sounding overtly Christian. I knew that some religious traditions practiced in Japan, like Shintoism, included multiple gods. So I tried “the gods decided to smite me.” This seemed to balance out the Old Testament-ish aspect of “smite” a bit. The end result seemed more vivid than the earlier version, and it seemed like something Mob would say.–Towel

about “select shop” (11:30)

Observant English speakers might notice that when the guy who used the same shampoo as Mob talks about where he got it, he uses a term made up of English loan words. He says he bought it at a “serekuto shoppu" (in English, a "select shop"). While both parts of the word are borrowed from English, the term you get when you put them together isn’t commonly used in the US. I ended up replacing it with “boutique,” which gets across some of the meaning. But I’ll explain in more detail here.

It turns out that a “select shop” is a kind of smallish shop with carefully curated items that all fit a certain aesthetic. A business like this might be called a “lifestyle boutique” in America, but it’s slightly different from any business model used widely here. The big selling point of a shop like this is the fact that they’ve already vetted and coordinated these products. Their offerings are tailored for a particular niche, so that if you’re into the general idea a select shop is going for, you’re likely to be interested in a lot of what they’re selling. The items for sale will also have been hand-picked by a professional who’s able to find just the right thing in a way that a typical consumer wouldn’t be able to.

You can imagine what kind of college student would not only shop at this sort of place but declare it proudly. Even if Mob was going to fall in L with a B, this guy would be a bad fit.–Towel

about “a listless ne’er-do-well” (19:04)

The more literal translation of this part goes “a man like this, without ambitions or vitality.” It’s a nice turn of phrase, definitely, but I thought if I could localize it a bit it might evoke more of the right feeling. I thought it would be more typical in English to express this in terms of an adjective plus a noun describing the kind of person he’d appear to be, rather than saying he was without these qualities. From “without ambition” I got “ne’er-do-well” and from “without vitality” I got “listless.”–Towel

Akogare's Matilda Dress recolour/retexture

I love the dress Akogare made a year ago for TSR YeMedieval collab and have been using it on my little Celtic sims all the time, but originally it had only some 8 or 9 swatches. A big waste for such a pretty thing! Now it can have more... MUCH more.

This time it's really just a recolour. Mesh not included. You need to grab the original one from TSR: here! (And I really hope Akogare is ok with it: all their new creations disallow recolouring, but older ones, including this one, say it's fine if you don't include the mesh, so... We're good, right? It's really fine?)

Comes in 3 versions:

Solids, meaning 40 swatches in my Iron Age palette;

Tartan Welsh, meaning 17 swatches with (afaik) actual Welsh patterns

and last but not least, Tartan Mix, meaning... drum rolls please... 85 swatches with different tartan patterns found on clan.com. If you think this number is crazy, then, well, you're right - but on the other hand, the website offers... let me check... 4667 tartan patterns! So, you see. I did restrain myself. Quite a lot 😅

All the versions come in two flavours: HQ (default) or nonHQ. Download only one per package!

Just a couple of swatches for the preview this time, because I'm not crazy enough to take screenshots of all 40+17+85, so what's the point in even trying:

I might upload both of the tartan palettes for anyone who's interested and also for reference, because I have a feeling I'm going to go ahead and tartanise everything I deem worthy of my save in the nearest future 🤭

DOWNLOAD (free on Patreon, no ads or EA)

And just a general heads up, especially as I'm sending you to another post in here: all CAS items are .package files. ALL. Always. If you ever download anything for CAS and it's a script mod all of a sudden (e.g. a preset, like it happened lately...), something's wrong. Don't put it in your mods folder, best delete immediately and contact someone who's dealing with such stuff. Even me if you don't have a better idea ;).

Please Don't Leave Me (Pt. 3)

Bucky Barnes x Reader

(Part 1) (Part 2) (Part 4) (Part 5)

Warning: Violence

There are a lot of things that you aren't told about when you fall in love. Everyone wants to say that it's the greatest feeling in the world but they don’t tell you about the fear. When you can’t breathe without someone. When your heart would literally stop beating the moment theirs did. When they are everything, you can lose everything. The fear is debilitating.

That’s exactly how you felt. Bucky was going on missions left and right and you were by his side. You knew he could handle himself but it still scared you nonetheless

“The goal is to get in and out as fast as possible.” Steve said. Pointing at the board he lectured the group, everyone listening intently except for you. You gnawed on your lip and stared through the screen. You knew you should be listening but you just kept replaying the last mission in your head.

There was shooting and the sound of explosions. Your job was to get inside the main room and steal the files of the terrorist group. A simple task, plug in the hardrive, wait for it to upload, and get the fuck out. Simple. You didn’t have to be in the action. The guns in your thigh holsters bored from lack of use.

Then everything went wrong. Guards infiltrated the room. They were expecting you, something that no one anticipated. The hard drive wasn’t finished uploading and you needed time.

“Hey!” The man yelled and raised their guns. You lifted your gun and fired two shots hitting one of them before you ducked down behind the desks as gun fire started to rain on you.

“Guys. We have a situation.” You yelled through your earpiece.

“In the main lab. Seven guards. The hard drive isn’t finished uploading. I need help.” You said as you fire two more shots.

“Get out. We will come back for the drive. I’m coming right now.” Steve's voice rang clear.

“I don’t have an exit, Rogers.” You ground out.

"Your knight in shining armor is coming to save you, Princess. Stay down till I get there.” Tony spoke. You waited firing shots here and there until everything got really quiet. You knew they were planning an attack. Before you knew what was happening a grenade was rolled behind the desk. You kicked it diving to the other side of the room behind another desk. It exploded and you were sent flying. The hard drive surely destroyed.

You coughed pushing away debris that had landed on you. Sut covered your face.

“Abort, the hard drive is destroyed". As the smoke cleared you could hear the men making their way through the room. You had two options, pretend to be dead or try to sneak to the exit. You chose the first, knowing that there was no one you could get away without being too loud. A piece of shrapnel deep in your leg. You were on your side with guns concealed and you waited for the men. The men approached you and inspected your form.

“The girl is dead, find the asset.” He spoke through his earpiece, gun lowered. There were four guards. One went to roll you over and you fired your weapon hitting the unsuspecting guard. Then started to fire on the other ones. Each body hitting the floor. Your breath was ragged. Adrenaline coursed through your veins.

You got up quickly, not waiting for more men to come. You went to slip out of the exit gun raised, until it was knocked out of your hands and someone grabbed you from behind. You fought them off but their grip was too tight. You could hear a voice but nothing was clear.

“Shhh, it's me.” Bucky. You stopped flailing and he slowly let you go.

“Thank god.” You said.

“We have to go.” You nodded and followed Bucky until you both made it safely to the quinjet.

“What were you thinking?” Bucky grabbed your shoulder.

“What-”

“Don’t 'what' me. You could have gotten yourself killed.”

“Are you kidding me? No one was expecting that! What was I supposed to do just sit ar-”

“You didn’t even check your surroundings. I could have been anyone outside of that door.” He yelled. Your face fell. Nothing had even happened. Everyone was safe. He stared into you and then brushed past you. The rest of the flight not a word was uttered between you.

“We don’t know who this terrorist group is. We need to find out. There are bases popping up everywhere. Y/n you will get to the main room and use the hard drive to collect intel.” Steve said.

“Sorry Cap but I disagree. I say we kill them all and make them tell us who the hell they are. Good ole blaster to the dome interrogation.” Tony spoke up.

“We can’t risk another failed mission. I appreciate your whole John McClane act, princess but that’s not gonna get this done.” He finished.

“This is the mission, Tony. If plan A doesn’t work, plan B sounds wonderful.” Natasha spoke.

“Okay, quinjet in 20.” Cap said, picking up the files on the table. Everyone went to leave the room and Steve called your name.

“If you’re not up for this, tell me. I’ll let Nat do it. You can sit this one out, it's not a big deal.” He said kindly.

“No, I’ve got this. I won’t fuck it up this time.” You said as you walked out of the conference room. Steve sighed. That was not what he meant. He knew how personally you took the failure after Bucky made a scene on the jet. You hadn’t spoken for the last two days.

So that led you to where you are now. In the main room the drive plugged into the large computer. You tapped your fingers on the desk waiting for the file to download. You couldn’t help but look into the information before you unplugged the drive, it was complete and it wasn’t technically against the rules to look. You had already hacked in anyway. You scrolled through the documents clicking away at the keys.

HYDRA. Your breath left your body. Everything clicked. You remembered the guards' use of the word ‘asset’. Bucky. His face popped up on the screen. Pictures flashed. Bucky walking down the street. You and Bucky eating at a restaurant. Bucky on past missions. They were watching him

“Oh my god.” You ripped the drive out and ran. So many thoughts ran through your head. This is the fear. This is the dread you felt because you loved Bucky so much. You couldn’t imagine a life without him. Nausea started to spread through your throat. Under your ears pressure grew. You had to get Bucky out of here.

“I got the drive. Get out now” You yelled into your ear piece. Tears started to form.

“We still have business to take care of Princess” Tony said and you could hear his blasters.

“Get out now!” you yelled firing your gun at two more guards. You hated killing but right now you would kill anyone. You spotted Bucky fighting off three guards at once and you didn’t hesitate to kill them. Bullets flying out of your gun like it was nothing. You looked ruthless. Bucky looked surprised. He knew you never fired your weapon unless you needed to. You grabbed your other gun and held them both up. You saw Nat going hand to hand and you shot. Steve was fighting with just his shield and you again fired your weapon at his attacker.

“Don’t make me say it again. We are leaving now.” No one questioned and headed toward the quinjet. Bucky was confused but everyone obeyed. Once on the quinjet, everyone stayed quiet. You sat in the corner stone faced and looked down at the ground thinking about everything.

“Did you get the drive?” Clint yelled back from the pilot seat. You didn't answer but tossed the drive on the table across the room. Everyone was confused. Nat came and sat by you. Not saying a word because that's what she knew you needed. She knew you wouldn't have told everyone to leave without a reason. Steve bent down and picked up the drive. You could hear people whispering but you tuned them out.

Once you got back to the tower you headed straight to your room. You didn't waste your time going to debrief in the conference room and you certainly didn't go to the med bay to get the hole in your leg restitched. You felt it bleed through your black suit but didn't pay any attention to it. You were in shock. What were you going to do? You wouldn't let them get to Bucky. You would do anything to stop it from happening.

You wiped away the tears that started to fall. You sat on the floor and leaned on the edge of your bed. Tears started to flow and you angrily wiped them away but you felt your breathing start to pick up.

“Sergeant Barnes. Ms. L/n may require your assistance in her room. She appears to be experiencing pulmonary distress.” Jarvis said to Bucky, who was taking off his battle gear. His face looked up to the ceiling as if to talk to the AI.

“What happened Jarvis?”

“It is unclear Sergeant Barnes but I believe you should assess the situation. I believe Ms. L/n is experiencing a panic attack.” Bucky wasted no time and made his way to your room. He knocked voraciously.

“Y/n open the door. Please let me in” On the other side of the door you couldn't hear him. Your hands on the side of your head covering your ears. Fear ate at you. You couldn't imagine what they were going to do to him.

“Please, doll, open the door. We agreed we weren't going to do this. You can come to me, you know I am here for you. Open the door now.” Bucky pleaded. He pressed his ear to the door and could hear the sounds of your ragged breath.

“Jarvis opened the door.”

“Sergeant Barnes. Ms. L/n likes her privacy. I'm not sure that is a good idea.”

“If you don't open the door I will break it down.” he threatened Jarvis. There was a click and the door was unlocked. He opened it with haste and saw you shaking on the ground, hands in your hair and you kept saying “No”. He rushed to you and placed his hands on your bent knees.

“Y/n breathe with me. Come on, you got this. Nothing can hurt you here. It's just me.” He said and you finally made out that it was Bucky and your eye met his. Your breath started to slow. He made himself hold back from touching you too much because he didn't want to freak you out. Before he knew what was happening you launched yourself toward him and wrapped your arms around his neck sobbing.

“They wanted to hurt you. I couldn't let them. '' You cried.

‘Who? No one is here. It's just me and you. No one can hurt me” he said, grabbing the back of your head.

“They're back, Bucky. They want you. They were going to kill me to get to you.” You said, fear lacing your voice.

“What are you talking about?” He said pulling back. You took a moment to speak.

“HYDRA” you whispered. His eyebrows scrunched up and he looked confused. The drive.

“I can’t let them. I will do anything to make sure they can’t get you. I will kill every person you dares look at you. I will die a million times before-”

“Shh shh. You don't risk your life for me.”

“But-”

“No! That's an order.” He yelled. Your lip quivered.

“I can’t live without you. If you die I die. I will risk my life to save you. I don't care what orders you give me. I physically couldn't stop myself. I can’t breathe without you, James.” You stated. His hands were on the side of your face. Your eyes were red as well as your nose.

“I don’t want to hear that. Nothing is happening to either of us. I won't let it.” He reassured me.

“James.”

“Yes, doll.”

“I love you.” You breathed in. His eyes softened and he stared into your soul.

“God, doll. I've loved you since the day I met you. I’ve been waiting to hear that forever. I love you.” He kissed you/

“I love you.” Another kiss.

“I love you.” He wouldn't stop kissing you.

“What are we going to do about HYDRA? They want you back, there were pictures of me and you. They watch us all the time. They won't stop until they get to you.” You said sniffling.

“We kill them. All of them.”

My GOetry Concrete - repost because I uploaded the wrong file.

Deep inside the dark forest,

with split hooves and big horns,

waiting for my one true love,

that is a stork.

For we have met here once before.

When on a bed of pine we made our nest,

where you nuzzled your beak against my neck,

and I can't wait to see you again,

to feel your feathers on my skin,

sharing both what lies within.

In the safety of this den,

you reveal to me your true nature so fearlessly,

making me not afraid to show you what I am;

An eldritch

Dahlia Suarez Sim Download (With CC Links)

For the second anniversary of my Suarez Legacy series, I finally got around to uploading Dahlia for download! She has all of her skills + likes & dislikes. If you are coming from TikTok, thank you so much for your support. The series wouldn't be what it is today without you all! She only has one outfit to spare you from downloading a million files. I hope you enjoy her as much as I have :)

Download & tutorial under the cut ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

TOS:

You are welcome to do whatever you want with Dahlia in your personal gameplay but please do not include her in your social media content. However, I would love to hear how your gameplay is going with her, leave a comment and spill the tea!

Please do not reupload my sims for download anywhere, including the gallery.

How to download

Unfortunately, I cannot upload a version with CC included as it goes against the creator's TOS, but I've linked everything here for you! You must download ALL of these links for her to show up in your game properly. The genetics are especially important, if you are missing presets or sliders her face and body won't look right.

Step one: Download all of the cc files and place them in your "mods" folder. This is typically located in documents > Electronic Arts.

Step Two: Download the tray files at the bottom of the post and unzip them. These go in the "tray" folder. This folder is also located in documents > Electronic Arts.

Step Three: Open your game and go to the gallery, then to your library. If you followed the previous steps correctly Dahlia will be there! Make sure that "include custom content" is selected in your filter settings.

I always recommend making a back up of your tray files before adding anything new in. Your tray files are what shows up in your gallery library, so if something goes wrong you could lose those households/lots. You most likely won't run into any issues but better safe than sorry.

Alright, that's enough yapping from me, let me know if you have any questions!

CC LINKS

Genetics Skin overlay, Face details, Belly overlay, Stretch marks, Eyes, Nose, Hip Slider 1, Hip Slider 2, Thigh Slider, Shoulder Slider, Ears, Eye Width Slider, Eye Preset, Lip Preset, Jaw Preset

Phew, you made it passed the genetics! That was a lot.

Outfit Top, Skirt, Shoes, Necklace & Earrings, Bracelet, Anklet, Rings, Nails, Toenail Polish

Makeup Lipstick, Eyeliner, Eyeshadow, Blush

Hair Hair, Hair flower, Eyebrows (#11), Eyelashes

Tattoo- I couldn’t find a download link for this tattoo ANYWHERE so I uploaded the file onto SFS myself. If the original creator sees this, or if anyone has the link, please let me know so I can give credit!

TRAY FILES Download

Happy simming! ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

this fortnight in megumi.fm ▸ bye bye march👋

ft. unchecked ambition to recreate of the hardest Kpop dances (only in vain), lots of code debugging, and using Yeolpumta the wrong way

💻 Internship // progress tracker

-> detecting pockets in protein structures using 3diff pipelines -> finding consensus pockets using outputs of pipelines -> pocket alignment of protein models by structural alignment with a set of known binding site structures -> read base paper -> weekly presentations [2/2] besides these tasks I've been trying to modify all my code files such that they can run directly from the system terminal (i hate edge cases and this entire process has taken years off my life) so that I can upload it on github

🎓 Uni Stuff

-> charted out a timeline for master's applications deadlines and related work

👟 Kpop dances!!

completed! 🔥bye bye ankles ⇒ I'd started this way before I messed up my ankle and then I abandoned it but we are so back... I picked it up last week and finally! it is done. 💪 bts' magnum opus ⇒ the main challenge is ensuring to hit every beat at the right speed and my rendition is still far from refined but hey. atleast my moves have developed some fluidity currently <3 🧢 left, right and just vibes ⇒ really needed a breather after the first two dances and now I'm here xD although the main reason I picked this dance was bc I loved the part switch version and all the references // ✅chorus + prechorus ⚡ crush...ing my motivation ⇒ so much for taking a breather. I've been obsessed with this song and I tried to start learning it and... four seconds- that's how much I've learnt in past three days. but the satisfaction when I got those four seconds? immeasurable. // ✅1st chorus pt1/3

💿 Other Things This week

📅 started my 18day habit challenge! by which I simply mean I'm using Yeolpumta as a daily tracker app rather than a study app and I'm loving it <3 I get excited seeing different colours marked on the daily calendar and as a consequence I've been more productive lately :D 🍊 been eating healthier! lots of fruit and water intake and I've also been learning to cook! 📖 The Myth of Sisyphus <3 I don't read a lot of non fiction but this piece is hella intruiging and I'm having a lot of fun 🍕 Lunch with the besties [x2] 🎰 Gaming Arcade shenanigans yet again 🎆 Fest at Uni! One of the best bollywood singers of all time showed up and he sang bangers from our childhood; we had a blast 🎧 lots and lots of kpop and for some reason I keep coming back to Advice by Taemin

[ 18th - 31st Mar; week 13+14/52 || and with that, 1/4th of this year is done. I'm pretty satisfied with how I how i spent the past two weeks, hopefully I'm able to stay consistent 🤞]

Hi I just wanted to double check something I am pretty sure I read on this blog. Is the origin of C'yra of D'riluth iii from the original cannon or was it a later addition? Also what does "of D'riluth iii" actually mean? I remember there being some vagueness to what it means

Okay there's a long version and a short version of this story.

Short version: It was a later addition. In 2008 Mattel launched a toy line called Masters of the Universe Classics, which could only be ordered through their website and was aimed at the collector market. One of the things they did was include "character bios" in a sort of homage to the G.I. Joe toys of the 80s, which featured 'personnel files' that gave specializations and a brief character history, including their real names (e.g. Duke was actually named Conrad S. Hauser).

Catra's figure was released in 2011 for about $65 USD. Her bio (which I've lifted from a Poe Ghostal review) is as follows:

We (I, and my friends whom I've pestered for opinions) are pretty sure D'Riluth III is the name of her planet, even though another planet in the same solar system (from the New Adventures of He-Man in the 90s) has the Arabic numeral 7, so including Roman numerals is a strange choice.

Long version: There was a fellow working for Mattel at the time named Scott "Toyguru" Neitlich, and he was (and remains to this day) exceptionally bad at things like 'writing' and 'creativity'. He was never very interested in She-Ra, though he loves to tell the story of stealing his sister's doll one year, so to him Catra is simply an agent of the Horde... which, in order to adhere to the 2002-2003 tv show, was now 5,000 years old. This bio directly contradicts the Filmation canon of Catra's mask having belonged to the Magicat queen, for instance, and introduces a number of confusing details.

One of the least popular was Adora being Hordak's "step-daughter" instead of his "adopted daughter", which was already kind of a gray area since he didn't exactly raise her. Scott digging in his heels on the matter was actually how I learned he'd written the thing in the first place:

Now you may be wondering, jeez, it's pretty confusing and the writing isn't great but aren't you being kind of harsh? Surely the push-back from the He-Fans was bad enough. Well give me a minute, dang. This is the long version!

I reached out to him about a year and half ago to ask 1. How it's pronounced, 2. If he could confirm that D'Riluth III is the planet, and 3. If he remembered how he came up with it. He told me the following:

Some backstory here--Scott runs a bit of a one-man content farm, in an effort to avoid paying hosting fees for advertisements or actually engaging in SEO. He is a marketing consultant.

He used to upload a 5-10 minute video every day, but shortly after I contacted him that dropped to only five a week, and his weekly "Director's Commentary" videos about MOTUC figures that he worked on (largely just explaining who the character even is in an unedited stream of consciousness, as his videos became slideshows of google images) moved to bi-weekly.

I was like, okay, he left Mattel in 2014 right? So surely once he's through that year he'll get to this new series.

Nope! He's doing 2015 too! So I reached out again in January, just to like. See if he was still intending to cover the 'real names', which imo should have been part of his commentary to begin with, but...

He had forgotten <3 I explained no, I was asking about these specific questions that I had outlined in my first email (I had replied to his last message in the chain for simplicity's sake), and he just said he'd be doing it soon. So I was like oh, cool, do you know if you'll be doing one a week still? since that would put a Catra video about 4 years out as he does them in release order, and he then promised he'd get to it soon and didn't answer the question.

Annoying, certainly, but whatever. Unless one of us dies horribly I can wait it out, right?

WRONG.

Scott, being an idiot, has not credited a single one of the images he lifted from google over his four years of mostly-daily slideshows. And recently, somebody fucking noticed!

So this guy--Ethan Wilson, a very talented toy photographer and reviewer--was informed that Scott (in his capacity as Spector Creative, the name of his YouTube channel/consulting business) had been using his pictures in videos. Actually, let me use Ethan's own words here:

I decided to dig a little deeper into Spector’s channel, and found 81 instances of my photos being used in 68 of the channels videos. None of these featured credit to me for use of the photos, and 48 of the 81 instances removed or obstructed my watermarks.

-About This Spector Creative Thing

I very strongly encourage you to read through this linked post, as it gets worse! Somehow!!

Scott, not noticing these as they came in over the course of 10 days, logged in to discover his channel had been taken down. He emailed Ethan in something of a panic to ask that Ethan reverse the claims as a 'professional favor', as Scott got all his clients through his channel's "advertising".

Now you're never gonna believe this... but when he and Ethan came to an understanding, suddenly Scott didn't give a shit.

He released a libelous video claiming Ethan had no rights to the images (he does) and that Scott could use them all he wanted because of Fair Use (he can't) and emailed Ethan the following.

First of all: this is bullshit. Copyright is automatic in the US, trademark wouldn't apply regardless, and as Scott should fucking know by now Ethan doesn't have a 'channel', he has a blog.

Second, he shot himself in the foot with the Fair Use defense by outright stating that his channel is his exclusive advertisement for his business and that he depends on his content to make a living. He said in his first video that it was "educational" 🙄

So Ethan realized Scott was a Fucking Liar and decided he should just copyright claim the rest of Scott's shit, in order to protect his images and rights thereto. YouTube can't take the channel down again unless Ethan is willing to pursue legal action--which he isn't, because he has a full time job and two kids and even though he'd probably win, it's a lot of time and energy.

I and a few others were trying to convince him that it would be worth it anyway, and looking into identifying and contacting the other artists Scott's stolen from over the years, when... Scott released a book. His first-ever graphic novel [looks into the camera like i'm on the office]

drawn entirely by AI.

So we have a frankenstein's monster of copyright infringement masquerading as illustrations (with all the uncanny valley that implies), Scott's technically and practically terrible writing, and the plot is Greek mythology. There are four and a half typos just in the free sample, and that's not including the words in images like his map or logo. He claims the title is a registered trademark but it certainly isn't registered in his state, or federally, and it's already in use by several other brands, so I wouldn't believe him even if he hadn't demonstrated a lack of understanding of copyright & trademark as recently as last week.

So I'm kinda fucking done waiting for answers! I can't trust a thing out of this guy's mouth! And he's pretty stupid, so do I even care what he thinks? I have decided that no. No I do not. I'll check back in 2028 and if he's survived + actually followed through then maybe I'll give his video a watch but until then it is simply pissing me off to remember this guy exists.

Sorry this turned into a rant I'm just really starting to loathe the guy. It's been an infuriating week or two. But uh... No, it's only canon to this one action figure line that ran for a little over a decade. We're certainly not beholden to it, it's more of a fun little in-joke for the fandom these days. You see someone use C'yra and you're like haha I know her! It's fun :3 Regardless of Scott's bullshit I enjoy seeing it around, and it's not like he owns or benefits from it in any way when maybe 1% of the people using it know where it comes from (and the people who know it was him specifically may be limited to the followers that have watched me complain about it).

Thank you for asking, I really do love asks even if the answer isn't what I want it to be lol. I'm happy to verify or explain anything I can!
