ppl will immediately forget any nuance when it comes to AI

like im sure the guy who is very vocally against fanfic for infringing on his copyright is definitely against AI for the same reasons as you, and not just trying to strengthen his copyright in a way ppl will support so he can then go after other things (like fanfic)

the same thing with yall cheering for adobe tryna make copyright stronger,,, why are you cheering,, they will use it against you???

AI Is Inherently Counterrevolutionary

You've probably heard some arguments against AI. While there are fields where it has amazing applications (i.e. medicine), the introduction of language generative AI models has sparked a wave of fear and backlash. Much has been said about the ethics, impact on learning, and creative limits of ChatGPT and similar. But I go further: ChatGPT is counterrevolutionary and inherently, inescapably anti-socialist, anti-communist, and incompatible with all types of leftist thought and practice. In this essay I will...

...

Dammit im just going to write the whole essay cause this shit is vital

3 Reasons Leftists Should Not Use AI

1. It is a statistics machine

Imagine you have a friend who only ever tells you what they think you want to hear. How quickly would that be frustrating? And how could you possibly rely on them to tell you the truth?

Now, imagine a machine that uses statistica to predict what someone like you probably wants to hear. That's ChatGPT. It doesnt think, it runs stats on the most likely outcome. This is why it cant really be creative. All it can do is regurgitate the most likely response to your input.

There's a big difference between that statistical prediction and answering a question. For AI, it doesnt matter what's true, only what's likely.

Why does that matter if you're a leftist? Well, a lot of praxis is actually not doing what is most likely. Enacting real change requires imagination and working toward things that havent been done before.

Not only that, but so much of being a communist or anarchist or anti-capitalist relies on being able to get accurate information, especially on topics flooded with propaganda. ChatGPT cannot be relied on to give accurate information in these areas. This only worsens the polarized information divide.

2. It reinforces the status quo

So if ChatGPT tells you what you're most likely to want to hear, that means it's generally pulling from what it has been trained to label as "average". We're seen how AI models can be influenced by the racism and sexism of their training data, but it goes further than that.

AI models are also given a model of what is "normal" that is biased towards their programmers/data sets. ChatGPT is trained to mark neoliberal capitalism as normal. That makes ChatGPT itself at odds with an anti-capitalist perspective. This kind of AI cannot help but incorporate not just racism, sexism, homophobia, etc but its creators' bias towards capitalist imperialism.

3. It's inescapably expoitative

There's no way around it. ChatGPT was trained on and regurgitates the unpaid, uncredited labor of millions. Full stop.

This kind of AI has taken the labor of millions of people without permission or compensation to use in perpetuity.

That's not even to mention how much electricity, water, and other resources are required to run the servers for AI--it requires orders of magnitude more computing power than a typical search engine.

When you use ChatGPT, you are benefitting from the unpaid labor of others. To get a statistical prediction of what you want to hear regardless of truth. A prediction that reinforces capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy, imperialism, and all the things we are fighting against.

Can you see how this makes using AI incompatible with leftism?

(And please, I am begging you. Do not use ChatGPT to summarize leftist theory for you. Do not use it to learn about activism. Please. There are so many other resources out there and groups of real people to organize with.)

I'm serious. Dont use AI. Not for work or school. Not for fun. Not for creativity. Not for internet clout. If you believe in the ideas I've mentioned here or anything adjacent to such, using AI is a contradiction to everything you stand for.

im so angry and so sad today so unfortunately i am going to curse all of you with my TPOF Mason-Route OC, Missy Fortune, my little babey

only pic im willing to share of him (cause i dont have any good refs of him by me lol) drawn by @corruptfoxarc !!!!

warning this is a literal novel. im just gonna ramble and ramble and ramble, mainly for future notes for myself lol

Mason is the only one who can't keep the MC, and while I agree this is fitting for his character, it pisses me off because Give Me The Bear!!! so i went rogue and made it a reality.

Missy Fortune, a man with a fitting name!!! Misfortune follows him but he pays it no mind, choosing to see the bright side of every situation instead. He's 26 and full of life, working at a large, mostly deadstock toy store to keep his childhood close to him. He is taken by Fox's team while closing up the shop after willingly letting them inside after hours, because it was cold out and they asked very nicely.

Missy is a loser. Plain and simple. He hangs out with people who tolerate his company only because he's been in the friend group for years, but his role is just 'butt of the joke' guy. He accepts this because he's a naive goodie-two-shoes and believes there's no malice behind their gags. He isn't very close to his family and goes months without saying a word to them at a time, making his disappearance mainly unknown. (Not for any reason! They just don't really interact that much.) His life revolves around his job and his friends, thus creating a very unhealthy, if not mentally damaging personal life. He still finds the time to wake up with a smile nonetheless, being mainly clueless to the misfortunes in his day-to-day life.

Missy charmed Mason into bidding a high amount because he seemed intelligently aloof. He was enthusiastic about the wrong things considering his position as a product being sold, often going on nearly irrelevant tangents as responses to the announcers questions. (It's not often someone WANTS to know more about him!) What he spoke about, he seemed passionate, thus cementing him as the ideal prey in the hunters eyes. Someone with motivation and drive! A good, strong-will to carry a good hunt- unlike those miscellaneous hikers he finds from time-to-time.

And so right he was, because Missy kept him busy for two days over a week. Their 9-day long game had a very abrupt end after Mason arrived at his cabin and found the poor thing- cold, weak, hungry, and frail- counting sheep on his bed. Was the easiest thing picking him up for decapitation! Little man was light as a feather!

But then the dork nuzzled into him while waking up, and it struck Mason on a strange level. Missy had survived the longest of any of his previously purchased prey, and it kind of hurt letting him go. He got attached! He found so many sketches on that paper he provided him, was lead straight to him out of Missy's own stupidity from laughing or crying or singing too loudly, would often stalk him from afar as he acted like a fool, and now it's over. Laid him down on his wood-chopper, grabbed his axe, and saw his face. Missy was scared, but accepting, and that little nuzzle earlier reminded Mason of a pathetic soggy rat. He's got more potential in him. He got used to him.

So now he's got his own bed in that cabin! Just as warm and plush, and all he had to trade was his humanity for it. He has MANY chores and responsibilities (including but not limited to minor hunting, going on grocery/supply runs in the city, checking on set traps/setting new traps, preparing fresh catches for consumption, fishing, laundry, bed-making, basic house cleaning (MAINLY in his own room but is sometimes asked to take care of other rooms), isn't allowed to bathe by himself for the first 2 months, needs permission to go outside, speak, and get into Mason's things, and also needs to wait for permission to eat at the dinner table. He is severely indoctrinated into Mason's way of life and almost completely forgets who he used to be, but he never loses his optimistic charm. When he misbehaves he's forced into the 'shoes of discipline', shoes that have 5 nails through the bottom for him to walk on- each 3 to 5 inches long. When he's been good he gets free reign with the colored pencils and sometimes gets to pick himself up a lil' something-something from a supplies run!

They live in quiet, stern harmony together. Quiet, stern, ass-splitting harmony.

This big studio shit is so fucking horrendous i cant even. I was invited to a warner brothers uk careers event mere days before the actor strikes and in the midst of the writer strikes. And through this, we get another glimpse at the pure amount of jobs that are going to be destroyed in the most creatuve industry there is because of those ai fuckers and the fact that people wont be paying their workfirce because of it.

Like, i dont think people who arent in the film industry realise just how many jobs there are. Its not just writers and actors that will be affected. Makeup teams, costume designers, milners, floor runners, entire assistant directing teams, casting departments, set runners, screenwriters, producers and production teams, and litterally thousands more aspects that you dont even know could be a job are going to go away almost completely if actors, background or not, become ai generated and edited in by non unionised, overworked cgi artists for the sake of saving higher ups the money. This kind of thing hasnt hit the UK film industry yet, but if nothing is done about it and these comoanies can make it work in the USA, you'd better beleive it'll bleed into the UK film industry too considering how many hollywood projects are actually made in the UK(almost all of them, especially the big budget ones). This is a massive, serious thing that needs public support from all corners because if not, the millions wanting to get into this creative industry have no future. Im one of the people who could no future if this ai thing is taken too far as a studying filmaker. This is important and none of the people striking are lazy or want more pay because theyre selfish, these ai generation tactics are bordeline violating for people who dont vave wny legal rights to take these companies down for using their likeness, voices, faces, written work, draft scripts, art, concepts, etc without their permission to replace them. It is by all demands increadibly fucked up and anyone in support of the use of ai to replace creatives in the film industry, fuck you i hope your favourite films and series get cancelled.

hiiiiii tumblr people

been forever since ive actually used this hellsite but i thought id make myself a little personal blog so im not uh. lonely

my name’s marron, pronouns they/them. yknow. im a worshipper and student of Lord Uphir as you could have guessed from my url, ill interact with angel worshippers as long as you dont try to exorcise me or call angels to my home and shit. should be obvious but demon hunters and holy beings of boundless light DNI. also i think my posts might end up in a parallel dimension sometimes but feel free to interact if you’re not from my world!

more info under the funny cut [blog rules + OOC info]

In a world where the sun never rises, the demons of the moon descend.

Mankind is granted an ancient gift, and told to pray to the sky.

The surgeon’s disciple calls forth beasts with claws and teeth that rend,

And the moon illuminates a town where time passes peacefully by.

🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

Welcome to Unmoor, a small midwestern town in a world that is not our own. A world where working mothers summon demons to babysit their kids, teens play pranks using ancient blood magic, and everyone knows the catchy jingle for the local exorcism van. In this alternate dimension, “modern gothic” is taken to its extreme, and yet the horrors are seen as something completely normal. They’ve lived with it all their lives, anyway.

It is said that Earth used to exist under the glow of The Sun, the ever-watching eye of the Angels. However, after a primordial celestial war, the eye was closed and The Moon, the cold and desolate home of the Demons, took its throne in the sky. In the modern day, no one living knows how The Sun’s rays felt, and they’ve adjusted to a dark world filled with horrific beasts and magical forces beyond human comprehension.

Most humans practice at least a little bit of the dark arts, which manifests much more visibly in this world. Whether their power lies in blood, primordial tongues, alchemy, or a pact with a Demon, magic can be found in all walks of life and can be applied in many facets of daily life. Marron, the in-universe owner of the blog, specializes in demonic summoning and communing with dark entities, though their powers are enhanced by their devotion to the Demon Lord, Uphir.

Other than that, life on this darker Earth isn’t too different from our world, especially in the mundanities. As dark a reflection it may be, there is still social media and gas stations and taxes. Taxes are the darkest force of all.

🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

You don’t have to exist on the darker Earth to interact, but if you want to make your own character in this world, there aren’t too many rules. All powerful Demons and Angels, like Demon Lords or rulers (including Uphir himself who is reserved for me) aren’t allowed without permission to keep lore consistent. Lower demonic entities, angel drones, humans and semi-humans are allowed. If you have lore questions you can ask me, but I’ve left the lore kinda vague so people can expand on it organically! You don’t even have to live in Unmoor if you don’t want, you can invent another town or even country based on where you live. Please tag any posts from this world with “posts from moonlit earth”, and feel free to include “posts from unmoor/(where your character is from)”, and PLEASE accurately trigger warning your posts!!

Please do not interact if you’re homophobic, transphobic, queerphobic, ableist, racist, a sexual-focused blog, or you support any global genocide efforts. I won’t hesitate to use the report button.

Uhh hi!! I'm new to working with spirits and such so I'm sorry if this sounds like a dumb question or something, but I'd like to know your opinion on if you need to work with a spirit to use their name? Or I mean, at least ask them about it? Like a lot of banishings out there use the 4 guys from the enochian tradition, or the 4 main Archangels.... and I'm just a little bit anxious about using their names like this without permission? (I really want to start using the 4 horseman as a base for my spell work and like start a devotion practice to them, but I dont want to work work with them - at least not yet)

There is no such thing as using a spirit's name without working with that spirit.

"Working with" sometimes has a connotation of being in a committed or semi-committed long-term interpersonal relationship with that spirit, where you communicate with them outside of spellwork and perhaps have some kind of mentor relationship with them.

But that should not be taken to mean that casually teaming up with a spirit is not working with them.

"Working with" just means teaming up with any spirit when it's time to get some work done.

When you say, "rider of the Red Horse of War, swing your blood-soaked blade before me and infect my enemies with the venom of destruction so that where I step, the ground is cursed with your eternal violence, you, the brightest and most horrible harbinger of the True Borneless Aeon named Apocalypse,"

you are indeed working with the red horseman, regardless of whether or not you also, like, have a shrine set up to him or meditate to communicate with him at some other point in time.

So the thing is, some spirits seem to have an open door policy. Pretty much anyone can ask them for help in such-and-such magical operation, whether or not there was ever any initiation or introduction. And when people use the names Uriel, Gabriel, Raphael, and Michael in a banishing invocation, they aren't saying flat and lifeless words - they are evoking the presences of those actual angels.

Even if you keep it real simple, say... "like Conquest, the first rider of the End of the World, I will pass this test," you're still knocking on that door.

And it's not reasonable to expect nothing will ever answer the knock until you're personally ready.

Here, I think your intuition is spot-on. Especially given the grim associations of these spirits, I would not personally recommend trying to evoke their power without an introduction - as their power is not available without them; there is no emanation from a spirit which is not also the spirit.

ok !! heres nyx lore because i can and because i want to (this will be long :3) (im taking nyxs parents explanation from the coming soon nyx relationship list they know) (also this contains spoilers from udg)

TW ;; EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL ABUSE ,, NEGLECT ,, PEDOPHILIA ,, MANIPULATION / TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF ,, SLIGHT GORY DEATH ,, MENTION OF ALMOST DROWNING (please ignore if uncomfortable)

CHARACTERS/SELFINSERT USED ;; NYX (self insert) ,, MONACA TOWA ,, KOTOKO UTSUGI ,, SERVANT / NAGITO KOMAEDA

before we get to the actual lore, i will explain their family and the reason for some of their traits. (parents explanation copy pasted from nyx relationship list):

!! NYX'S FAMILY !!

nyx's father - TW PEDOPHILIA AND EMOTIONAL ABUSE: nyx's father keeps switching between a loving and caring father to someone with severe angry issues and an extremely mean person. other times, nyx's father implies to romantically like nyx. nyx thinks themself as wothless and useless, due to the fact their dad forced them to follow his orders and to please him, making nyx feel like theyre in the wrong one for feeling negative. one time, they cried infront of everyone as a kid for being forced to run and their legs hurt, their father only cares about how people looked at them weirdly. as a result, nyx has an incredibly low image/self esteem of themself, and them being easily attached to people who show the least amount of care for them. nyx copes from this by using humor and repressing their feelings. ( though, they break down easily. ) nyx doesnt know what to feel about their father, due to their fathers extreme mood swings but they know that in any way, there will always be a side where they hate him. theyre traumatized on how brutal the Warriors of Hope killed their parents, but slightly grateful for it.

nyx's mother - TW NEGLECT OF EMOTIONAL/MENTAL NEEDS: nyx's mother is a self-centered person who works in a cosmetic company. she usually uses nyx as the model for her make-up company, even if nyx insisted that they dont feel comfortable being a model. nyx's mother multiple times force nyx to do her wishes, prioritizing her needs over theirs without permission from nyx themself. nyx's mother forces nyx to go out often. and everytime nyx tries to refuse, she will try to make up an excuse on why they have to go or try to guilttrip nyx by telling them that theyre so 'selfish' for not fulfilling her needs. nyx's mother often blames others over her own mess, making her a person who thinks that she is always right. nyx hates her, and is extremely uncomfortable by her. even if they were traumatized of how brutal the WoH killed their parents, but theyre slightly grateful for it.

nyx's brother: the only one in the family that nyx actually trusts. nyx's brother is a 3rd year highschooler who is pretty strict towards nyx and obedient towards their parents, nyx's brother actually took care of nyx unlike their parents. nyx is grateful for him. they're traumatized on how brutal the WoH killed their brother, and doesnt really forgive them for killing the only one that cared about them at the moment.

!! TRAITS !!

- nyx is pretty self centered and is excessively interested in themself, due to the fact that they never really had anyone to talk to friendly in their elementary to middle school times. this leads to them being seen staring at mirrors and talking to themself a lot. they also talk a lot about themself and their interests to the people they really trust or people who are interested in them.

- nyx is easily attached to the people who show the least amount of care towards them, due to the fact they never really got much attention from the people around them. they will cling to people and try to start talking to them, but most of the time the other person started it, because nyx is awfully socially awkward.

- nyx has a severe abandonment issues, since WoH taken nyx as their second servant. this is because they have experienced their parents threaten to leave them if they disobey. monaca gains from this so nyx doesnt try to betray her.

- nyx has a trigger on being called useless, as it triggers how their parents view them whenever they make a mistake or "made a fool out of themselfs". they try their best to be useful to avoid being helpless to people.

okay, were gonna go to the actual lore now

- nyx in pre-udg was a student from the Hope's Peak middle school, taking from reverse course. they werent accepted through the Ultimates Hope's Peak academy due to the fact all of their talents were taken by other ultimates, leading them to end up in the reverse course.

- before the tragedy started (when reverse courses were brainwashed to mass suicide and... dying people in general), nyx and their family decided to travel to towa city and stay there for 2 days as vacation or.. whatever you call it.

- nyx and their brother was dragged into their parents bedrooms in the hotel. they were both pretty annoyed by it, but obeyed anyway. when nyx was drawing and doodling, a... child? the pink haired child broke in and killed their parents and brother by slitting their head off, nyx was frightened as they back away from the pink haired girl, expecting for her to kill them.

- but, for some reason, when the pink haired child turn their head to look at nyx, her eyes sparkled. she ran to nyx and took their hands into hers. nyx was confused, but abides anyway.

- the girl introduced herself as Kotoko Utsugi, and in the next second, kotoko found nyx cute! so she... recruited them to be a part of warriors of hope? at first, nyx declines by shaking their head 'no' profusely, but uh... they ended up being the second servant for monaca.

- due to being with warriors of hope, they started to believe that adults are all bad, before they met nagito. at first, nyx was hestitant that theyll serve monaca with him, but ends up opening up to him later in UDG.

- since nyx cant really fight, nyx is a servant to serve the Warriors of Hope in terms of food, drinks, etc etc

- for some silly moments, kotoko almost drowned nyx <3 kotoko sunked nyx's head deep into the water to see how long he can breathe underwater

- nyx in the end of UDG, nyx did end up escaping from monaca, the WoH and nagito helped them

thank u for coming to my ted talk if u have any questions feel free to ask

I- okay nyx really need therapy i- im sorry for them like- can i please give them hugs? And blankets? And candy? And stuffies? And anything they want? And tell them they're really useful? I- please they dont deserve this :(

And honestly, nyx dad and mum deserved their death, fuck them honestly. But i feel really bad for nyx brother :(

Really, i wanna hug nyx sm

I know its been a bit iv been into other fandoms lmao but iv noticed somthing every time I make or relog a post explaining that, no, in fact the CC’s are NOT their c!characters/personas (SHOCKING! I know) and they dont get to dictate how we write these characters in fandom spaces as long as not actually about the CC’S, which yes includes shipping.

And every time without fail people go “Ah yes I agree! Unless the CC has said its against their boundaries/unless its romantic ofc”

LIKE WAY TO THE MISS THE POINT!!!

The CC’s are NOT the ones being written about!! They never get to dictate fandom spaces. I still cant believe that I could write a gore filled, horror hurt no comfort story about the ocs, or hell even the cc’s, being savagely murdered and tortured without ANYONE EVEN BLINKING, and yet people “Draw the Line” at me going ”Oh these two characters have alot of chemistry in the roleplay. I want them to kiss.” and declare me an awful or gross human being??

If you can accept that “Hey in this story this character is a god, this one is a Mob hybrid player, and oh also magic is real and these three are siblings” and know that oh obviously this is about the character the cc’s portray, then you can just leave us alone about shipping.

“But OP!" I hear you say, “The CC’s said they dont wanna be shipped!”

Let me ask you, in most questions about shipping, did people every clarify they wanted to know if they should specially ship their character and not them, or did most shipping questions go “Hi can we ask your boundaries on shipping” or “Hi is it okay if we ship you lol” or something along the lines? Becuase I can guarantee that if I was asked that question Id assume you were talkin about me and Id also say no.

Obviously though, if the fandom work/ship is actually about CC then no you shouldn't ship if they say they are uncomfy with it. There’s a difference between a character portrayed who doesn't have actual feelings vs an actual person who doesn't want to be shipped. Then obviously respect their boundaries and dont ship!! And if you come across people who do ship CCs? Still just block and move on, I can promise they will not change their minds 95% of the time. 

And for the few cc’s that did actually get asked to clarify they were talkin about their characters? Iv said it before and Ill say it again, CC’s do not get to dictate fandom spaces whatsoever, they never have, just like other fandoms dont let source material dictate these spaces either. Yes sometimes something they say can be taken into account but at the end of the day, people who do fandom works get to do what we want. CC’s are honestly more authors/actors of the characters they portray, specially in roleplay circumstances like DSMP.

Becuase if your gonna try and get permission for stuff like that, we might as well ask them permission if hey can we torture your character, hey can we make your character die to motivate another character, hey can we do this or that or this please?.... Do you realize how stupid that sounds? Would you sit and go ask the cc if this is okay before making any fandom works? No? Then neither should we about shipping.

Honestly dont try to bug CC’s about shipping characters and try and look for permission, you dont need it and most of the time CC’s just want to be left out of it or just not know as long as its not shoved in their faces.

If your worried about a CC coming across said shipping, then let me tell you something; Fandom spaces have ALWAYS been for the fans. If they come into fandom spaces and areas, and they see something they dont wanna? That's on them. Specially if its been fully labeled and tagged properly, they fucked around and found out. 

“What if they stumble across it on accident before they knew or didn't understand or, the horror, someone forgot to label something properly?”

GUESS WHAT! CC’s arnt your UwU babies who will break into little pieces when they find out their characters are being shipped. Maybe they wont like it but they’re big boys and girls and others, they can handle it themselves. I promise you they dont need you trying to speak for them, and I can also promise they’d be hella more disappointed in you harassing folks, specially if you send death threats over something harmless as shipping fictional people.

And honestly, if you dont like the idea of shipping even though its pretty established by now we arnt talking about the cc’s? THEN THATS FINE! You have every right to, hell I'm not even a huge shipper myself! I just think its cute sometimes and ill reblog it or read something with it if its intriguing enough.

And even more so, you have the ability to block! Block shipping tags and people who ship and move the fuck on, its not that hard. At this point people are pretty good at making sure shipping stays out of the main tag and has its own tags for it, so if your seeing it enough to bitch about it, it means you either followed someone who ships and that's on you, or you went searching to bitch about which is honestly a bit pathetic.

Leave people alone, make use of the block blog and block tag options, and thank you for coming to my ted talk.

And remember at the end of the day all fandom works are fiction and should not be intended, nor expected to be reflected irl.

As someone who knows Raven irl i need to say some things about the discord server regarding her and her safety

First,dont tease her,she hates it and it makes her frustrated,causing her to lash out,which is what happend when someone teased her i think

Second,dont treat her as a little kid/baby,she despite it and it genuinetly makes her feel uncomfortable,dont invalidat her feelings just cause shes younger,look at her side of things

Third,she doesn't like people using nicknames for her unless she allowed it,the only restricted nickname is Rave which is what her gf calls her

I will be sending this too Angey and Kein too as i know shes close to you three

Quick note before I respond; Not in a good mental head space when responding to this so just a forewarning I apologize if I end up sounding snappy or rude, I'm not exactly in a head space to understand what I'm saying. So I mean no disrespect whatsoever with my response to you or to Raven down below. Also a reason why things may make no sense, just ask for more clarification from me if something is written weirdly and stuff.

I understand everything your saying here, and I thank you for taking time to let me, Kein & Angey know about some points on Raven. I do appreciate it.

First; I never teased Raven, I don't think (if I did it was unintentional or possibly directed towards someone else as I've made sure not to tease her whatsoever). If that is something that makes her lash out, she should have told us all before hand so we were more weary of that fact. If it's a thing where she isn't aware that she does lash out when teased then I simply recommend trying to be more aware of that. It's not entirely mine or anyone elses faults for making her lash out, we're all prone to teasing one another, and without the knowledge that that's something that happens we can't be fully at fault. Because simply, we weren't aware.

Second; A very understandable thing to make someone uncomfortable. Being treated differently because of your age is a valid thing to get upset over. I'll state that I believe I've made a good effort to validate her feelings and make her feel not excluded, but if I did end up doing any of that, then I sincerely apologize to Raven (if your reading this, I'm sorry if I did that). But I want to make something clear, she's in a Discord with several adults (18-19 and older) so she needs to understand that sometimes we can't involve her in certain conversations because of her age, so during those times, yes, we'll treat her as her age is. If we didn't, then we all could have legal actions taken against us, which we don't want and are working to not happen.

Third; This is something that should be stated by Raven, and been made very clear. I'll admit I take fault for not asking permission beforehand to use "Rav" when addressing or talking to Raven. That's on me for not asking and I'm sorry, really. I'll make sure to use her full name from now on, no more nicknames.

To wrap this up, thank you. Thank you for writing this stuff and making it known to me and the other two. Raven's safety should be a number one priority, and in a Discord server with mainly adults, that is a must need. I'll make sure to be more aware of these points and make it known to others.

Hello! Did you permit someone to use your work in a YouTube video? I can't link it as anon but the title is Jean Kirstein - Nightmares *Angsty Prompt Imagine*

They have done this to several other people who did not grant permission so I have taken it upon myself to reach out to people individually to make them aware. The account has messaged me back but still has not taken down the video with my work in it so I filed a copyright strike with YouTube and for an immediate takedown.

Just wanted you to be aware, and if you did grant permission, I apologize for bothering you! Have a good day!

hi there!! I did not permit anyone to use my work online in any way. thank you so much for making me aware of this!! I have submitted a copyright strike but they removed the video before it could be taken down. thank you for letting me know!!

!!PLEASE DONT POST MY WORK ANYWHERE!!

This is a PSA: Regardless of whether you link to my profile or not, posting my work without my permission is a copyright violation especially if I have clearly stated to not post my work!!

[spanishinfluenza]

I'm seeing a lot of people complaining about sites like Fictionhunt which is well within your right! but it might be helpful for some to know that adding author's notes saying that your fics are not to be reposted without permission unfortunately won't help you here.

FictionHunt and other archive sites were set up after LiveJournal and other fic sites were lost. A lot of people lost a lot of their own work and wished there had have been some archive through which they could get their works back, both readers and writers. Because the idea of the sites is to create an indiscriminate archive, it uses an array of bots to scrape raw text from sites that are still in use like ff.net, so any author's notes warnings will go unread. What is good to know if you dont want your fics archived, ao3 can be slightly more protective, particularly for mature fics bc of the added content warning pages, which bots struggle with. Ofc this does leave the more family friendly fic a little unprotected but moving to ao3 does give you a fair bit more control. Ofc emailing them is a good way to get them taken down, but I know some people have atruggled to get in contact with them

PSA- this is going on right now. I wouldn't care if the stories linked to my AO3 or ffn account, but no, it's fully copied and pasted to this site. Three of mine were there. Make sure you check for yours, and write them an email to take it down!!

I seriously thought about sharing this at http://aristsagainstarttheft.tumblr.com and/or http://directactionforhope.tumblr.com but was nervous to because it also has political undertones and they don't allow that in those places, so I'm sharing it here, especially considering this place and its mod still retain a spirit of standing up for what is right as the post at https://www.deviantart.com/triagonal/art/My-own-declaration-of-war-to-the-oblasts-of-Earth-908350723 shows (I assume it's still stood by, give an affirmative word with a question mark if it is, especially to confirm I was urged by the mod here to post about this, to whom I identify all credit with even if not her as this is all foreshadowed).

Despite Russia being heavy on censorship if a creative work originates in the West or puts the motherland or its ruler in a bad light, as shown by the linked article at the top which is floating around, they have been looked upon as they are now stealing films. However, it's not just films they're stealing, it's art in general. Your art, my art, your neighbor's art, anyone's art, art of all kinds, drawings, statues, anything they can get their hands on. They take it, give it over to Russian marketers, and profit off of it. Your photos could be, without your permission, in the form of bedroom posters, and you wouldn't know it. Your music could be remixed, your voice could be taken and used for narration or for technological purposes which http://www.tumblr.com/discorddramahub/744671595837161472/dont-read-all-this-or-dismiss-its-gravity-if?source=share mentioned is an issue, your darkest or corniest literature could be copied, distorted, and/or adapted in a way that completely gives you the cold shoulder.

So here are my two instructions to you:

Make your art with as much anti-Russian undertones and symbolism as possible. If they want to steal statues, give them a Trojan horse. Hide as much rebellious material as you possibly can in your art. You might actually have some fun with this, making subliminal dead tzars or hiding Putin in the background. My mother used to say the best thing to do when making a scene is to put on a show.

Vet your demographics for Russian influence. They aren't even supposed to be using the site, it's blocked in Russia, but the site insists on letting people in dictatorships use VPN's to access it because it believes so strongly in access to info and expression, and this results in high-up people infiltrating the pipes, to use an idiom. Anyone who is against AI art should now be against VPN's, as cast-away posts such as http://www.reddit.com/r/DeviantArt/comments/zpm422/poll_whats_your_opinion_on_vpns_and_ai_art/ has alluded to for some time now. Maybe voice yourself in this matter.

Unless you all have some other way to put this to rest...

Yes?

im gunna do a little psa on how buy one get one sales work using examples from a customer that uses our pickup dept to shop and has done it incorrectly each time and treats me like im stupid and we messed up her order :) 

also from more of a pickup perspective but im pretty sure it all applies to normal in store check out and in others stores not just my chain.

if youre buying buy one/buy 2 etc get one free products through a pickup service do it exactly how you would do it if you went through the store. the best way i explain it to people is order how much you want to leave with. so if you want bogo bread you would bring 2 ( if you want to pay for 2 and get 2 free you bring up 4 yada yada) up to the cashier and it will be taken off when the sale goes through, and you can always ask the cashier to double check. so my first example using this lady is she ordered 2 pork loins that where bogo i take her order out and shes asks where her other pork loins are “it says you ordered 2″ “well i wanted 4″ “then you should order 4 we cant just assume and add 2 on without your permission” “ well why not thats stupid” :)))))))))) “BECAUSE what if you DIDNT want 4 and only 2, then you wouldve been charged for shit u didnt order and then youd have to come back for a refund and say why did u give me 4 when i only ordered 2 u idiots are you trying to scam me :))))” (ok did not say that last part but in hindsight is still a good explanation) “well now im going to have to comeback later and get the other 2″ hmmm sounds like a learning experience! :) spoiler: it was not. 

the only time we add stuff on is when someone orders only one of a buy one get one product and we will only add it on carside where we’ll say this was buy one get one but you only ordered one and we’ll usually get  “oh i didnt know that! cool!” or “oh i thought thats what i did? did i do it wrong” or “no, i only need one”

and lastly a lot of bogo can be mix and match meaning they dont have to be the same product. a lot of the time the tag on the shelf will say get one free of equal or lesser value. so what the lady did today when i brought out to her was ask where her missing vitamins were. i thought they were straight up missing so i went back to our room to see if there was a missing bag and she came to our door saying she got the vitamins she ordered she just didnt get the free ones. me, whos shift is over and just wants to get out of here, says “ :))) ok, ill have to go grab those for you then :)))” she ordered like..5 different kinds of vitamins. one of each of course! so whoever picked them for her probably saw the equal or lesser value tag and thought thats what she was doing. but nope! we just have to know somehow that she actually wanted 2 of each! so i gave her the other vitamins she wanted FOR FREE bc i had already processed the payment before she brought up missing stuff. and then she was kinda pissed off when i brought them out and had her check that i had everything like lady you essentially only paid for 3 OF THE 10 OF THESE. I HOPE YOU LOOK AT YOUR RECEIPT LATER AND FEEL FUCKING STUPID. maybe when this has happened to you  a couple times maybe maybemmabye mmmaybe MAYBE! its not us :)

this wasnt really an educational moment out the goodness of my heart i just wanted to rant about dis lady

[loveletterworm]

It was fucked up. My description of how it was fucked up:

It was very specifically called "Couldn't Be Better". I can like vividly remember there was a devlog about the reasoning behind the name because it could be read as both "This is really good" or "This is really really bad and cannot be improved" This is really oddly coherent for reasoning I read in a dream

It was like a random itch.io game that was still in development but may have had a very early demo. It was about like nurse-themed magical girls that at first seemed to be just kind of killing each other arbitrarily (at least that's how it seemed on the itchio page? it was odd they would have giant censor blurs across the screenshots but if you clicked to see the images without them all that was being censored was just very small blood splatters.) but eventually the dream decided that the game's plot was they were working together to prevent some kind of school shooting (Jesus christ???) There were still like rpg monsters but they just explicitly called the event that in the dream so I guess the rpg monsters were just like in on it whcih is fucked up ? It was an rpg but not (visibly) an rpg maker game because the UI layout was entirely unique. At least in one part of the dreams battles had a weird minimalist UI where it was just the enemy standing on the right and a healthbar very small in the bottom left -- kind of like the game World of Horror if the battle art was fullscreen and for some reason there were just not any buttons so you couldn't do anything. (I was only looking at game page screenshots so maybe they hid buttons that would have been there.)

It may not have even had an overworld because I dont remember ever seeing one in the dream but maybe they just didn't want to include a picture of it. In the dream.

It was very like (i'm going to try to think of words here and they may not make sense don't fault me too much for this) "menhera"/"vaguely 2014 tumblr pastel goth" aesthetic. All the menus were lavender. The artstyle (of at least some of the characters) looked a lot like a specific artist I follow on here actually but it would be odd to @ them in a bizarre dream so I will move on. I remember what one specific character looked like very well but she wasn't the main character just a random party member. She had like black clothes and roller skates and really long pink hair and a giant syringe. Sometimes she would appear in pre-rendered 3D but it felt like that was just kind of something that all the characters did when they used some sort of special move.

(^ My very bad drawing of her I can't get her hair or face right. I thought she looked like sucy from little witch academia but now that i actually look up that character she looks less like her than i thought.) I think another different random party member was just kind of a dog for some reason ? Which was green

Also the main antagonist was a character that was apparently taken from another game the developer didn't make and had entirely removed from their original context but they were constantly clarifying to people in the dream that they did get permission to do this which is a really specific detail for my dream to generate.

And also itch.io had a built-in achievements system in the dream and the game used it.

I remember this all so vividly and it seems so coherent as something that some random person on itchio WOULD make that in writing it down this feels more like I'm expecting someone to be able to find this game based on my description but that is not possible because it wasn't real ? This was beamed into my mind from another dimension

i had a dream that such a specific game existed that im like kind of still not convinced it wasnt real hang on. It was like kind of fucked up

Kuroo x Volleyball Player! Reader

Kuroo Tetsurou x Volleyball Player! Reader

wordcount: 3,087

genre: strangers-to-lovers au with fluff, crack and a little bit of smut :)))

summary: meeting kuroo tetsurou might be the best thing that has ever happened to you

first of all

kuroo pissed you off to no end

absolutely pissed you off

the first time you met him was when you were a first year

your brother keishin has asked you to come with them for the practice match they had with nekoma

the moment you got to school you had to DASH to go to the washroom because you had to pEee

gosh

curse your tiny bladder

when you went out everyone was already on the bus

sigh

you were gonna have to sit with someone you don’t know

because FOR SURE

your stupid brother keishin would be sitting next to takeda-sensei

the moment you hopped on the bus

everyone suddenly became quiet

0.0

everyone was jus like

uh

who’s this cutie

is she lost

she’s from shiratorizawa what’s she doing here

huh

and noya and tanaka are just screaming at this point

“wHO IS THIS GODDESS WHO DECIDED TO BLESS US WITH HER PRESENCE?!?!? I LOVE YOU PLEASE SIT NEXT TO ME RYU GET OUT NO I DONT CARE GET OUT”

cue tanaka landing on the floor

“nOYA-SAN WHY”

and you’re just like

lmao what

and literally all the seats are taken except for the guy who literally yeeted his bald friend into the next dimension

sigh

i guess you had to sit next to the cutie huh

you look at your brother pleading for help

but he just ignores you and talks to sensei

sIGH

your brother was so thirsty that he didn’t even CARE if these boys ate you alive

gosh

it’s okay

it be like that

f in the chat for y/n

oKAY enough self pitying

you reluctantly sit beside the really loud guy

“hi my names ukai y/n! what’s your name?”

“m-my name is n-nishinoya yuu”

cue noya looking like a literal tomato

“nice to meet you!! i’m excited to work with you nishinoya-san! if i may ask, what year are you in?”

“iM in sEcond yEar”

gosh noya’s so proud

“oH you’re my senpai then!! it’s really nice to meet you senpai!! i hope we have a good trip”

GAHSJDJSHS

you called him senpai

without him asking you to

GOSH

could you be any more perfect

“agHjsjdhsjajszjJAK”

“those aren’t words...”

“...”

“...”

and at that point noya was brain fried so you just put on your earphones and chilled

...

...

*gagging*

“hINATAAGAHAJSKSHS”

what

what was going on

you turned your head

and you saw this orange haired babie throwing up on the bald guy who got yeeted

and suddenly

chaos ensued

everyone was screaming because of the stench

you were gagging so hard that you felt your breakfast coming back up

but your seat buddy was having the time of his life laughing at his two friends who were having a dilemma

gosh

today was gonna be crazy

finally you guys had finally arrived at nekoma and honestly that’s as the most chaotic car ride you’ve ever experienced

but luckily on the way you’ve made yourself familiar with everyone on the team

especially the third year cuties

and no you did not say that to their faces because you’re shy :((

you guys finally get out of the bus and you see

a god

with crazy looking hair

“well if it isn’t the crows” “did you have a good ride here you country bumpkins?”

and daichi’s bout to lose it

“kuroo-san nice to see you again”

and you can definitely feel the tension in the air

was it just you or is it hot in here

kuroo suddenly turned to look at you and honestly you’ve never been more intimidated in your life because wow

he’s beautiful

“who’s the pretty girl daichi-san? is she your girlfriend?”

“no no she’s our couch’s sister”

“hi i’m ukai y/n, nice to meet you”

and you shake his hand and you’re SHOCKED

“kuroo tetsurou, likewise”

his hand is so warm n rough oh god

you suddenly wonder what it would feel like to have his hands slowly wrap around your throat as he starts to thru-

NO

nO DIrtY ThOuGhTs

bad

bad y/n

you’ve been so caught up in your day dream that you didn’t realize that you were still hold kuroos hand

and you look up to see kuroo looking like a smug little shit as if he was saying

‘are you ever gonna let go or?’

and it really made you wanna hit him

really badly

you wanted to punch his mouth

with your mouth

GAHSJDGA

stOp

okay anyways

you snatch your hands away from kuroo and he just smirks at you like a smug little bastard

“what’s wrong kitten? didn’t wanna let go of my hand?”

at this point you’re too flustered to even talk so you take it as the time to back off and just let kuroo be a little fuckhead

but suddenly you’re snatched by tanaka and noya

you somehow end up bumping into kiyoko and you’re just like “omg i’m so sorry kiyoko-san i didn’t mea-“

“don’t worry about it y/n-chan, accidents happen”

and wow

wow

a goddess

now you see what tanaka and noya see

she’s beautiful

maybe you do want the best of both worlds.....

...

...

ANYWAYS

tanaka and noya end up showing you off to their equally as weird friend taketora and of course like the normal person you are you greet him and introduce yourself

but before he even gets the chance to talk kiyoko’s already pulling you away telling you that she needed some help with setting up some of their gear

and of course like the puppy you are you follow her because yes you’re in love with her

i mean

who isn’t

lesbi honest

everyone’s a simp for kiyoko

moving on

finally they’ve started to play a match

and you’re very impressed

especially by hinata and kageyama because wow their skill was amazing

and hinata’s jumps were crazy

obviously you played volleyball yourself being ukai’s grand daughter

and you weren’t that bad

considering the fact that you play for japan’s u19 team with ushijima

who was a very close senpai to you

so close to the point where you’d call him your older brother

rip keishin

back to the game

everyone in karasuno was very promising and you were getting excited with the ideas that were flooding into your head

but nekomas not too bad either

they were pretty solid with their defence and some people might think that it’s all about the attacks but

your attack doesn’t mean anything if the ball doesn’t touch the floor in the court

you were very impressed with the bedhead’s receives a n d blocking

every time he managed a good save or blocked anyone he would always glance in your direction

and it may or may not have made you feel nervous because who doesn’t get nervous when an attractive person looks at you

sadly

the game finished rather quickly

at this point everyone was already cleaning up and of course you decided to help

you thought that you would be able to play just a little bit but your brother just wanted you to familiarize yourself with the teams before you went on the week long training camp with them

which was in two weeks

:)

you were trying to take the volleyball net down until a tall figure comes up behind you and takes the net from you

you turn around and guess who it is

kuroo frocking tetsurou

what a surprise

“don’t worry about it peaches i got it”

wha

did this man just call you PEACHES

peaches as in the scary girl who goes to famous peoples houses?

i think NOT sir

“pEACHES? what is that supposed to mean??! huh?!?”

“woah woah calm down babe, it’s just a nickname. i call you peaches cuz you smell like peaches”

ohhh

okay

that’s fine

“i’ve been wondering though, if you smell like peaches then would you taste like peaches??”

wHAT

wHATSGFSZHSJ

rip y/n’s remaining brain cells

“how about it doll? are you gonna give little old me a taste?”

and he’s suddenly pushing himself closer to you

and you close your eyes because it really looks like he’s about to kiss you and omg it’s like your first kiss hELP

but instead of a kiss

he just laughs at you

this man is literally bent over and CACKLING his lungs out

“you’re so cute doll, i wouldn’t kiss you without your permission. plus i gotta take you out first. wanna go on a date with me some time?”

and you’re just so caught off guard

that you can’t even manage a verbal response

like you just nod your head and then he’s ruffling you’re hair and walking away with the volleyball net

what the hell just happened

did you just score yourself a date

yes

yes you did

you go girl

sadly

it’s time for you and your babies to go

and kuroo being the good person he is

walks you guys out

but before you can get on the bus

kuroo pulls you to the side and bends down to your height to whisper in your ear

“text me sometime peaches”

and you suddenly feel him putting a piece of paper in your back pocket

then he’s pushing you onto the bus and you’re just dumbfounded

did he just touch your bum

could he not just hand it to you

not that you were complaining,,, but now you just wanna know what it would feel like if he just grabbed your bum with both of his hands while you sit on his la-

nO

BAD

BAD

BAD

gosh you have it bad for this boy

the moment you got him you debated whether to text him or not

i mean

you didn’t even look at the piece of paper yet

so you go into you back pocket and open the paper

‘xxx-xxx-xxxx text me when you get home peaches, i already miss your pretty face -kuroo’

WHY IS HE SO CUTE

you get up and start looking for your phone

and you spend like 6 minutes trying to think of what to say

but you finally settled with

hi :)

hopefully that was normal enough

and not even 1 minute later you already got a reply

hey cutie :) did you get home safe

wHY IS HE SO DARN CUTE

and your conversation goes from there

you guys literally talk about everything

from his favourite colour to the time when your leg fell in a hole and you slammed your whole body on the ground causing your ribs to shift and now whenever somebody touches the top of your chest they can feel the top of your ribs

(that was actually a true story and yes it happened to me and yes my ribs are very very fucked up but i’m still alive soooo)

by the time you were back in tokyo

you and kuroo were basically best friends

you guys texted, called, and facetimed every day

you stepped out of the bus and low and behold

it was kuroo waiting for you

“tETSUU”

you run to him and jump in his arms

and he catches you and swings you around a few times

everyone was just like

o.o

‘when did they get so close’

and your older brothers just like

>:(

this is n o t good shaggy

and kuroo introduces you to everyone

especially his buddies bokutou, akaashi, and kenma

and bokutou’s bombarding you with questions

and he asks why you’re wearing a shiratorizawa sweater

and you’re just like ‘i go to school there..’

and he’s just like

“oH YOU KNOW USHIJIMA? IM IN THE TOP 5 ACES RANKING WITH HIM IM SO COOL RIGHT”

“bokuto-san i think you’re scaring her”

“aKAAASHGHSI YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO SAY ‘bokuto-san you’re so cool’”

and you and kuroo are just laughing your asses off

while kenma’s playing with his psp

pspspspspsppss

“bokuto-san you’re so cool”

“aKAAASHUDID YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO SAY IT EARLIER”

at that point you and kuroo have already walked away

and he brings you to your room

and helps you settle down your things

gosh he’s such a gentleman

y/n was ready to risk it all for this man

“peaches you okay?”

“oH i’m fine yes yes i’m fine tetsu”

“okaaaayyyy if you say so peaches” and kuroos just going through your bag checking if you have snacks

“tetsu i don’t have any snacks in there for you”

“really? what do you mean? you do have a snack for me tho”

and you’re jus like lol no i don’t

and he’s slowly walking towards you and you highkey feel intimidated but fuck that you’re not a bussy

at this point kuroo’s sitting on your legs while his arms are slowly creeping up your sides

and in your head

you’re just like

‘ahh this is it i’m gonna have a heart attack’

and suddenly

kuroo’s tickling you and you’re crying on the floor because HSJDJH

TICKLES

“tETSU PLEASE I CANT BREATHEEHHHD”

“what’s that peach? i cant hear you”

“tETSU YOU DIPSHIT PLEASE STOPFDISHS”

“hmm i don’t know, i think i’ll stop if you say ‘nya’ for me”

“gO TO HELLSKDIS”

“come on pretty, say it for me”

you’re blushing sO HARD

“n-nya”

and kuroo just freezes up because he didn’t think that you’d actually do it

“tetsu? u ok?”

“...”

“...”

“...”

“tetsu”

“o-oH yeah i’m fine silly i was just thinking”

“what were you thinking about neko-chan?”

“you.”

GAHSJDJSHSGS

he was going to be the death of you

you, kuroo, bokutou, akaashi, hinata, and tsukishima suddenly ended up at an empty gym

and you guys wanted to play a match so

why not

it was you, kuroo, and tsukki

versus bokutou, hinata, and akaashi

it was a very intense but fun game

akaashi set to bokutou and bokutou did a cross shot

which wasn’t properly blocked by tsukishima

but luckily you were there to pick it up

and kuroo set to you and you slammed it down before they could even block you

the whole gym was silent

wha

how did-

hUH

“peach what”

“what tetsu”

“since when were you so good at volleyball”

“tetsu i play for japan’s u19 team, why did you think i was here in the first place? i’m here to help you guys”

and hinata’s just yelling

“y/n-cHAN I DIDNT KNOW YOU PLAYED NO WONDER WHY YOU LOOKED SO FAMILLIAR OMGJDSI”

after you got exposed

it was only you and tetsu left in the gym

after everything was cleaned up

kuroo pulled you aside before you could leave the gym

“t-tetsu what’re you doing? the gym lights are already of-“

“shut up for one second”

o.o

ogey then

“peaches i really like you. i know that we haven’t known each other long but it feels like i’ve known you since forever. will please let me take you out”

what

...

yes he did

“t-tetsu,,, i really like you too, and i would love it if we could go out on a date sometime”

and at that moment tetsu just

“HELL YEAHHH”

and he’s getting close to you again

to the point where he’s pressing you against the wall

he cups your cheek and leans closer to your face

“peaches,, can i please kiss you right now”

“yeah”

you close your eyes as you feel tetsu’s hot breath hovering other your soft lips

gosh

“gET YOUR HANDS OFF MY SISTER BRAT”

and kuroos just like

wHAT THE FUCK

keishin

“nII-SAN WHY”

“gET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW Y/N”

and you sadly look up at tetsu

and he just smiles at you and gestures for you to go

until you get up on your tippy toes and kiss tetsu full on the mouth

you catch him by surprise but he quickly kisses you back

you wrap your arms around his neck and slowly work your way up into his hair until you’ve got a good grip on him

kuroos hands weren’t staying still either

his hands were slowly creeping down your sides until he grabs the back of your thighs and pulls you up and holds you against him

his hands end up on your bum

and then

he squeezes

“THAT IS IT Y/N STOP SUCKING FACE AND GET OVER HERE”

oops

[sningo-prompts]

If Emmet never captures Ingo in a pokeball, then that means he's technically considered a wild pokemon. Normally, the system is pretty simple. If a trainer captures a wild pokemon in a pokeball, then they now own said pokemon. They legally have the right to take that pokemon away to wherever they want. Oh I'm sure there's some sort of laws you could turn to if a wild pokemon you were close to was taken against its will, but I doubt it'd just get resolved within a single day.

That pokemon is the legal property of the trainer who caught it, until officially proven otherwise. And any attempts made by any other trainers (or subway bosses) to take that pokemon back away from them without permission would be considered theft.

I see where you are going with this anon and i love it. I think a lot of people assume Ingo is captured so they dont even try (like how team rocket never try to use a pokeball on pikachu i think) it just makes sense ya know. Plus i really don’t subscribe to how pokeballs work and wanna redo the whole concept of them lol. So my personal HC that i 100% didnt make up for this au is that pokeballs work on pokemon because of their souls resonating with the material used to make them. Hence Ingo cant be captured. Though his body is capable of going into a pokeball it would never catch. Which causes him some uhhh lets say discomfort to put it very very lightly. Now that doesnt mean we cant enjoy the idea of this. I can play with this lmao.

This is going to be a veru long on! I got very distracted while making this reply so uhhh sorry but im bot making it in two posts because part two posts take me forever to make and since you asks for it im gonna make sure you get it!

Now we know pokemon dont just capture, even if they’re hurt. I like to think its a will of mind kinda thing so Ingo isnt going to be easy. Whoever is trying to capture him is gonna really have to spend some time chucking pokeballs at him to wear him down. Sure they can fight him and weaken him a whole lot. And if they didn’t want him to “faint” they could just attack him mentally but trying to break his strong will. Maybe theres a sure fire way that no one uses cause its unethical and kinda hard to do. But what if they just lock him up alone in the dark for a day or two. No one is ok after that. Though i just got a better idea.

They use Emmet to break Ingos will. Attacking Emmet till Ingo agrees and lets himself be captured. It has such *chefs kiss* potential. Emmet trying to get Ingo back who keeps getting hit by pokeball after pokeball. They baddies of this decided they are tired of Emmet and use their team to stop Emmets advance. They notice how Ingo reacts and then a DING they get the idea. An attack strait at Emmet who cant move. A scream. Ingo is being held back. “You can either come with us or watch your trainer suffer.” Emmet is yelling for Ingo not to do it, another attack, another scream, and that shuts him right up. Ingo cant take it. (Ya see Ingo never wanted to be captured because he was afraid he would lose something inside of himself and never be able to return human) Ingo doesnt care if he cant be human again, letting Emnet get hurt isnt worth it. So he looks at the man and nods. Emmet shouts and begs but Ingo just looks at him, making sure to engrain his brothers face in his mind, Ingo says goodbye. Then POP, Ingo is pulled into the balls, Emmet just lays there watching as it rocks back and forth, till finally it clicks. Tears are rolling down Emmet face. He doesnt know what to do. He just lays theres frozen and stares at the ball till the baddy picks it up, smirking. Emmet begins thrashing about “you have been a big help to me subway boss Emmet but i dont need you anymore.” Then the poachers use a pokemon to knock Emmet out. They leave him there, and take their prize.

Emmet is found by Elesa. Hes passed out and injured but she managed to get him some help. The first thing he he said was “wheres Ingo!” It all comes rushing to his mind and he quickly rushed to get up to find his brother. Elesa tried to hold him back but Emmet isnt having it. He knows Ingo only gave up and got captured because of him. He has to find Ingo he cant lose him again not again. He cant be alone again. Elesa does manage to calm him down enough to get him to understand that she isnt trying to stop him but help him. She doesnt want to lose Ingo again either, Emmet isnt alone in this. So they set to work. They get police involved, after all more people searching the better. Maybe rangers too?? I feel like rangers are a good help here too sincd i think in the game they didnt “capture” pokemon yea? They wanna like protect them? Im gonna skip the searching and what not (no fun no fun) and jump right to them finding out the poachers sold Ingo. They find the guy who now owns Ingo and try to talk to him about it. The man aint having it. He tells them that he is the owner of the pokemon and he paid a lot of money for it. Emmet offers to buy the pokemon back but the man said no. Then Emmet all but begs to see Ingo at least. To which the man agrees. “Make your last goodbyes then, because i am not giving this rare one up.” When The man sends out Ingo, Emmet rushes and hugs him. Ingo is just so happy to see his brother again. Yes they are sobbing “as touching as this is, wrap it up i am a very busy man ans i do not have all day.” Ingo clings to Emmet, a small whimper escaped him. Emmet hushes him and tells him its gonna be ok he will get him back. Well now the man doesnt take kindly to that remake. He returns Ingo to his pokeball, yes right out of Emmets arms. And has Emmet thrown out of the building. Ok then Emmet has to do tis right. If he doesnt follow the right legal steps then Ingo is as good as gone so he gets started. He of course has an ace up his sleeve. The medical records. He has proof Ingo is his brother and not a pokemon.

That can be what gets the information public. That Ingo is back and a rare sneasel. Its from the court case. Though the man probably backs down legally when this is brought to light. He knows an L when he sees one.
