Shitty Movie Detail: Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire

Just to be clear, Nemesis' swords have molten metal blades. They are similar but legally distinct from lightsabers.

i know most of us know this and are basically already asking these questions only rhetorically but the reason corporations don't make their TOS clearly worded and Google shows you helpline numbers when you look up "list of eating disorders" and Tumblr just won't let you look up hundreds of words most of which have no clear meaning is because of plausible deniability being the basis of all legal defense. we banned your account but not the other one who was doing the same shit because it was against the rules in your case and not against the rules in the other case. because we said so. you get the suicide helpline when you Google whatever because then it's your fault if you kill yourself with instructions you googled because they did everything they "could" to stop you. twitch banned you for adult content and not the other girl because more people reported you and they didn't want to deal with actually moderating, but the blurry TOS will cover their ass either way. that's it, that's always the reason "why"

actual laws are written the same way, so cops and the government can squint and interpret that whatever you did, including just existing in an area, was actually a crime that justifies your imprisonment, and only the people with enough resources to fight stupid arguments in court for months or years will be able to get out of paying a fine or going to prison

I will say, I don't understand the compulsion to claim anytime a writer used to write fanfic that they repurposed their fanfic. Like read like 3 things by the same author and you'll realize authors have their things, characters and plotlines they like, words or metaphors they prefer. It can often be an intimate experience where you start to get the sense of what is haunting that author. Yes their works may look similar but they are in fact written by the same person, enjoy getting to know them. And furthermore I hate the culture of artists having to pretend art doesn't inspire other art without fearing accusations of plagiarism

Is it actually more iffy legally to make money off of fanfic than fanart? Because I'm starting to wonder if maybe that might actually be more of a community norm than anything.

i’ve been having SO much fun w fields of mistria. it really expands on so much that sdv doesn’t exactly focus on, like fleshing out each npc and their dynamics with each other. and i feel less impelled by the grind of “do all the things Now”, i’m having fun just walking around town and talking to folks

Ogni volta che, nel mio condominio, viene ad abitare una persona nuova, sconosciuta, le persone più anziane fermano il nuovo arrivato o i nuovi arrivati, per fargli la radiografia a colpi di domande.

Dopo, inizia la fase gavetta: il nuovo arrivato è monitorato, come se fosse un ex galeotto, fino ad arrivare a spiarlo da ogni angolo delle siepi: mi sembra di vivere in una trincea, dove si dà per scontato di essere brave persone, poiché anziane, e si cercano motivi per litigare con qualcuno.
