i hate to be those booktok girls who goes like "omg dazai is so relatable" "omg sewercide king!!" "he's literally me fr!" but like... the way he writes oba yozo's view on his family in no longer human actually gave me chills when i read it. wdym you're only funny n silly to your family but feels the least speck of human emotion and understanding !! wdym you're a people pleaser!! wdym you draw morbid paintings to feel something!! clown shit!! ( he js like me fr )

How do I explain to someone that the side story is a book about a guy who wrote a book about a guy who read a book about a guy who read that same book and made some strangers read that very book via the first guy who wrote that book who actually didn’t even write it himself.

Begging people to not mix up Japanese and Chinese wedding traditions/clothing.  I just saw an LMK fic mention a character wearing “a traditional wedding dress, a red shiromuku.”

Which first of all isn’t even red, it’s white, it’s right there in the name, and second of all holy hell no, that’s Japanese.

Not to mention the actual wedding was a Western Christian one.

Is it me or...

Is Han Sooyoung from Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint very similar to our resident hamster?

huge fan of how whenever someone accidentally steals a joke now we call upon hbomberguy in a joking way. hes been incorporated into the culture

the thing about mha is that I know how to play chess and I'm not losing but we do have to admit the dog has some good moves. The dog knows what the hell he's doing and he's got some damn fine moves. we're playing a friendly match and I'm winning but he copied off of the greatest dog to ever beat me at chess (masashi kishimoto) and he's pulling out all the stops. gotta hand it to him.

Hit my first 50k post yesterday…what does one do on such an auspicious occasion? Have cake, or run away to the woods, never to be seen again?

all i have to say abt the hbomberguy video

[id: an edit of the "wow, cool robot!" meme. the robot has been replaced with the thumbnail from hbomberguy's video, "Plagiarism and You(tube)." the text of the person looking at the robot has been edited to say, "wow, cool callout post!" and the text that goes over their head has been edited to read "plagiarism is systemic + impacts marginalized voices most."]

Did James make his apology so shit on purpose to prove he didn’t plagiarize it?

Conversation with a friend the other day led to some thinky thoughts but like

I've been plagiarized a few times now. And man, it... It always sucks, don't get me wrong.

But I find it so bizarre and baffling how like. It'd be one thing if the culprits quietly panicked and took down the copy-pasted fics. Even if I never got an apology, it'd be like "Okay, they knew they fucked up. They're panicked now and took it down. Alright, that's the end of it."

But I'm two for two now for someone being confronted with the evidence of it, and when they take it down they go full ham with insistence that "I didn't copy you! It just looks a little similar!" and "Fine, I'll take it down if it'll make you feel better." And then they go on their profiles or the fic in question and rant about "a troll" who accused them of plagiarism, which they totally are not, GOD, and both times I got blocked??

It's just such a funny case of "I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice."

The Plagiarist: Act 3, Return of the Impasta

So I woke up to a few eagle-eyed anons in my box who’ve spotted what appears to be my plagiarist, again. Even if this person’s not my plagiarist (though I suspect it is), I’ve confirmed this person stole a direct quote from one of my stories, the honey scented salve that Matt uses in TRT, and once again tried to use the same tag that gave the plagiarist away before. I’ve also confirmed that she’s following me on tumblr.

If you’re looking to catch up on this wild ride, you can find the first post about the plagiarist here, and then the second post when she reappeared and attempted this again here.

Now. Hi @spencerception​ (AO3 account here). Congrats for being obvious af by lifting a very unique line from my fic, which was a dead giveaway. You might have gotten away with the rest of this, but you just had to steal a quote word for word. My fic ‘Appreciation’:

Her fic ‘Devil’s Advocate’ containing the plagiarized line. Note how the punctuation is suddenly different from the rest of her dialogue, indicating she just copy-pasted the line from my fic and deleted a few words:

The above is the most blatant, tbh. The rest of this I probably would have let go but when paired with the stolen line, it’s clear this was taken intentionally. So two more: 

Anyone who reads my fic TRT knows about the tin of medicinal honey-based salve Matt uses. I’m not going to post every chapter link because I’ve used it a lot over 140 chapters but here’s some screenshots just to back it up.

And now here’s her fic, where a jar of honey based salve used for injuries ALSO makes an appearance.

And lastly, if you’ve been following the Saga of the Plagiarist Impasta, you’d know she has, in the past, given herself away by using a very unique tag I created (used by 3 fics on AO3 total, with mine being the first). I’m not sure how she thought a slight alteration wouldn’t make it noticeable but here we are again cause damn does she love stealing that tag.

My tag on TRT:

Her tag on her Matt Murdock x Reader fic:

Honestly the sheer, breathtaking audacity to try this not just in the same fandom but in the same ship (a ship which is not all that large) is astonishing, especially if this is indeed our plagiarist, which I believe it is. And the equally bizarre thing is, there’s enough story in those fics that she didn’t have to steal. There’s precisely zero reason to take this shit again.

As before, it’ll be reported to AO3, and I’ll send an update to tumblr staff. I’m going to leave the same type of comment on their AO3 - calm but firm, stop stealing my shit. If you’re going to comment, please do the same - no threats, nothing bullying cause I don’t want anyone banned or blacklisted on AO3 and tumblr. But yeah, here we go again. We’ll see how this one goes.

heyyy girl !! idk if you know this but there's a user copying your drabbles on tiktok

or it's you? i really want to know so I'll report it or not

i saw this user also copying other fics from here (tumblr)

BROOOO OMG ok wait before i get all heated about this ahaha THANK YOU for letting me know. agh this is such a frustrating issue and i rlly appreciate you reporting it to me. the only platform i post my works on is tumblr so if you ever see fics that are mine outside of tumblr they’re definitely not me and i appreciate you reporting it to me right away. thank you for taking the time to lmk.

if you can report them that would be amazing !! tysm !!

IMPORTANT REMINDER THAT THINGS YOU SEE CREATED BY OTHERS ARE NOT YOURS OR MEANT TO BE STOLEN AND USED TO SEEK YOUR OWN CREDIT so to those who even think about plagiarizing other ppl’s hard work, PLEASE learn from these mistakes and don’t ever do it again. it’s so rude and disrespectful, taking others work and using it as your own. and you’ll be caught in the end for it anyways so i don’t see the benefit here tbh 🤷🏻‍♀️ this plagiarizing behaviour is ridiculous.

before you even think about doing it, put yourself in ppl like me—my shoes and think about how it would feel to get your hard work used to be someone else’s and they get credit for your hard work. this piece was smth i LOVED and it brought sm joy to me making it and seeing you guys love it too. but now, i’m just disgusted.

[yuncheoligans]

[planet4546b]

i don’t feel like wording this the right way but some of the panic about like art/writing being stolen for ai makes me think you guys believe in copyright laws
