#you can’t steal people

[littlepinksapphire]

Many people see Gale’s relationship with Mystra as that of a man and a woman. Gale is a man trying to “cross the boundaries” of the woman he fancies. But that interpretation is misguided and ignores what the relationship truly is, that of a mortal and a god.

I don’t feel like you need to know about dnd lore or Mystra herself to recognize the insane power imbalance that creates. An eons old entity in charge of all magic and a young wizard man are not on equal footing. Gale himself is even kind of aware of this, as he wanted and tried desperately to be enough for Mystra so she might deign to make him an equal.

Criticize his hubris all you want. It’s his fatal flaw and huge part of his character arc. But, Shadowheart is right there being abused by her goddess and everyone can see that. I mean, fuck, all of the origins are being abused by powerful people, but Gale’s not?

It just baffles me that at a time when our culture is harshly examining age gaps and power imbalances in romantic relationships more people aren’t seeing Mystra for the walking red flag that she is.

#gale dekarios #his bug gave people the ick and now they wanna justify it somehow #if the genders were reversed Gale would be a beloved girlboss who can’t stop girlbossing too close to the sun #Mystra would be just some guy #steal his magic and his credit card #you know? I’m just getting big double standard vibes #gale of waterdeep #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #bg3 spoilers

i can’t find my original posts i made about colorism on here, but seeing a filmmaker make a movie about latasha harlins and casting a light skinned girl as latasha when her being dark skinned played a key role as to how the media/court perceived, demonized, and painted her makes my blood boil. thats why i always shout from the rooftops that it is deeper than dating when it comes to the topic of colorism.

#it’s as if they casted her as light skinned to have the audience sympathize with latasha’s story more #so that brings the question are darker skinned people not enough to gain sympathy by people? #is our skin complexion that much of a worry to you that you can’t sympathize when a teenage girl got shot in the head due to a store owner #assuming she was going to steal?

(Personal ‘Being A Certain Kind Of Autistic’ Moment:)

(You ever think you’re too hinged? I was gonna say for the internet but since covid so many of the neurotypicals in real life are actually worse.

Like someone has an inappropriately strong emotional reaction to the benign, and you’re like ‘okay they’re triggered, walk away with no eye contact’. Then you see other people doing it. And more and more. Not about the same things, different things, random things. And you’re just… Is it me? Am I too hinged?

I’m not saying I’m never triggered but I always tell myself ‘hey before you interact with anyone, stop being such a freak’ if I feel like I’m in danger of being rude to or about a Human Person. And I know that’s autism training, learning to catch yourself; but also clearly not everyone bothers, even the neurotypicals anymore hence irl situations where you’re just watching some 55 year old woman go off on a receptionist over literally nothing.

Like you’ll watch people stew themselves to a rolling boil over things they’ve…made up in their head? When they could just…not do that? Or could assume the best? Like they pre-order rage for things that haven’t even happened yet. Not like political things where you could argue that it could incentivise action but like raging about how film/book in a series/event is going to be so terrible, beyond simple mental prepping for disappointment.

It’s like I feel too mentally healthy compared to everyone else. But even plenty of irl people I know who absolutely wouldn’t consider themselves (or be considered by me as) mentally unwell in any regard are like this.

I know me having the flavour of autism where ‘everything has to have a reason, but when you understand what it is you don’t feel the need to be upset about it anymore’ kind of makes this worse. Because that’s not how real people feel things. But I dunno. Feels like it’s getting…more, doesn’t it? I mean it is, must be, had a Doctor Who episode kind of about it a week ago. But it’s got me feeling autistic alien again. Even on the autism site.)

#i know social decay and breakdown of the social contract is real #(again thanks for the validation there rusty) #but i’ve seen people post some weird shit #from a ‘stealing is morally neutral/positive even’ post #to other oof political takes #(which are fine to a degree this is a site for damaged 14 year olds) #(that’s just a thing that has to happen in their growth cycle) #but also things where you want to say #‘you would never say that to that person’s face so don’t say it at all’ #…but you also think #they kind of might say it to their face?? #and that’s fucking worse #accidentally seeing some jodie thing on the side of an instagram vid #like jesus christ if you can’t be normal enough to not say that #can you even recognise the need to ‘put the phone down’? #like how do you fix that #can’t even send shit to their mothers #i’ve met some mothers recently #and they are not doing better #and they’re not even terminally online #we called it television rot #and daily mail rot #we always have an older ‘rot’ to look to #but i think it just scapegoats the fact that some people #are choosing to rewire their brains in the worst and laziest ways

The evil version of having a popular mutual who reblogs your posts is when popular blogs steal someone’s post and get thousands more notes

#why do you have so many followers if you can’t be funny on your own? you need to steal other people’s posts ? #billy.speaks

[worstloki]

The funniest arguments are the ones where one country tries to claim a food or type of clothing is solely theirs and shouldn’t be associated with another country pointing out it also exists somewhere else. Even if ‘somewhere else’ is a neighbouring country that a century ago was a part of the same place, somehow this calls people to violence

#it’s soooo funny #like everyone calm down #understand how the timeline and culture and adopting things from others and getting to know them works #stop trying to fight people for saying something is a tradition from one place like you can’t share #it’s not stealing stop accusing each other of stealing something that has long existed in both cultures #especially with food like why don’t you just both eat the food #stealing is completely different to sharing traditional culture aspects after residing in the same area for centuries together #like you have to understand the country borders aren’t changing that it is essentially the same place #video gives a recipe for pakistani biryani and there’s a second partition war occurring in the comments #someone says they’re making lebanese baklava and some guys there like uhm this is turkish baklava actually #like BRO #you are basically the same people #sit down

I am sorry😞😞the parallels were too good not to share. I shall try to refrain myself from now on.

Key word: Try

San I’m obsessed with you (in a good way)

Keep going, I need someone to engage in slagclaren Gewis parallels with. It’s an exquisite kind of self sabotaging Lewis angst I’m obsessed with

#asks #san’s tag #gewclaren #awful I’m keeping it #sometimes group names should be bad so social media admins can’t steal them #it’s why I’m using gewis eeeeeever so slightly more than Britcedes now #that and people stop trying to compare it to brocedes when you say gewis and if that’s what it takes

I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!! #he’s so selfish and selfless and all he really wants is to protect and love #forever some part of him is stuck as that little boy on the black rose #whether it’s in his desire for family and crew or even just his… simple urge to do good for goods sake that children have #before hard reality and Reuben and the streets told him to keep to himself and only care abt him and his #idk I just!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ya #it took gillion beating the shit out of him for that selfish shell to break #for him to realize like. hey. you’re impacting the ppl you interact with and you’re being a *dick* #and after we see him care more not just for his crew (like keeping his promise to gillion to not lie or just trying to know them better) #but like. signing for la alma. giving up grimms magic to revive people. stealing from royalty to give to an orphanage #loffinlot chip just… WOULDNT do that. it wouldn’t help him and just puts him at risk. just ignore it keep your head down and leave. #and even WITH that growth he’s still got that selfish streak— in the most positive sense of the term #him turning down Lizzie’s army offer in joaldo is him prioritizing those close to him over the needs of the many #(versus with Grimm doing what serves the most— self-sacrifice is easier to swallow) #anyway. tumblr mobile stopped showing my last tags like 7 lines ago so im stopping here just. #know that fucker is rotating in here again.

ml headcanon that when lila told adrien she’d been saved by ladybug she wasn’t lying

like no she’s not ladybug’s best friend but ladybug did actually save her during an akuma attack once like maybe there was a bus that was about to slam into her or she was in a crumbling building and ladybug rescued her

and she has actual proof of it happening as well a selfie or it was recorded by a civilian and put on the ladyblog/the news

but she can’t show adrien the proof because ladybug didn’t save lila. she saved cerise.

and it’s so annoying and frustrating for her because she gets called out on lying but it’s the one thing she told the truth about but nobody believes her because she wasn’t wearing a wig when ladybug last saw her

#miraculous ladybug #lila rossi #ml s5 spoilers #<- just in case somebody doesn’t know about cerise yet #like. she bases her lies on facts whenever she can like she got a fox necklace made in her debut episode #and she researched prince ali’s schedule before the hero’s day video call and worded her sentences so that she didn’t contradict the fact h #was out of the country and she had sabrina spy on marinette so that they would only steal things she needed to create a motive #so she based her ‘ladybug is my bff’ lie on her actual experience getting saved by ladybug. and too little too late she realises oh. yeah. #lila and cerise are separate people and i can’t use cerise’s things for lila. #‘but wouldn’t marinette recognise lila from saving cerise?’ of course not haven’t you been watching the show nobody recognises anybody

You said that MBT is picking people that "no one will miss". But does that mean that they're getting snached from the streets or even their homes in the dead of the night, or are they getting some sort of "invintation"?

They. Get snatched.

Cesar for example was taken out of his home in the middle of the night. And six was taken from the street during a walk home.

Though, The bps was lured there by someone giving them a paranormal job in an “abandoned” building, where MBT officials were hiding out. So it depends on circumstances I guess

#asks are neat #tmc labrats au #tw kidnapping #yeah it’s kidnapping you can’t deny it- #they are straight up stealing people

not these AI obsessed futurists preaching how this is the time for actors and writers to start utilising AI more, how they can use AI to fight big studios and just digitally clone themselves using AI so they could appear in an infinite amount of episodes of a tv show or movies, churn out massive amounts of writing thanks to AI etc. - how this is the time for creatives to hand over the creative reigns to a machine that’s been taught on stolen art, writing and more.

how creativity, that makes us inherently human and separates us from other animal species on earth, should be given up to fight greedy studios and streaming platforms that already don’t give a shit about the people that make them rich

#y’all this is… #karel čapek fucking say up in his grave #are y’all this dense? #do you really think that people who create and are fulfilled by being creative will give up the reigns? #are you all fucking serious? #what in the actual fuck is happening to this earth? #not to mention that there’s a massive fucking racial bias in ai that is trained on systemically racist models #i can’t with some of y’all apologists of ai and how it fucking steals the hard labour of people #wga strike #sag aftra #writers strike #ai #ai tool #ai generated art is teft #ai needs to be stopped #anti ai

When someone steals your writing, it’s not just words. It’s not just an idea, nor is it just a story or a plot. Its so fucking cliche but unbelievably true when I say that it’s an actual piece of your soul. As a writer, whether you’re considered popular or not, published or indie, if you get a thousand notes or three, that combination of vowels, consonants (and if you’re like me, far too many commas) has been a part of you, embedded into your psyche, begging to be released into the world. By extracting it and putting it onto the proverbial paper that is the internet, we writers are sharing our love, our light. Our hopes and fears. Our dreams and nightmares. And for someone to just take this gift that we share with all of you (for free… the time and effort spent is a whole different discussion right now) and claim it as their own…Well, frankly it’s fucked up. It hurts. It’s maddening. It’s insulting. Disappointing. Disgusting.

People that plagiarize are sad. They want attention and they don’t have the balls to get it on their own. They are jealous of writers and their ability to craft a world with words and they want that for themselves. They’re lazy. They just take the easy way. Nothing about writing is easy. If only.

A few days ago, a blog that has since deactivated lifted two of my fics and posted them as their own. To say I was upset is an understatement. I had to step away from tumblr for a moment because I was tempted to just delete my whole account. I felt sick over it, I’ve thought of little else since. Maybe I’m being dramatic, we all know I have a flair for it. But the thought kept crossing my mind that this is going to happen again, I mean how many times have we seen it happen to our friends? And why should I just leave my stuff out there for someone to steal? I’ve been here and posting writing for almost seven years, and as far as I know, this is the first time this has happened to me.. Maybe my writing is shit and no one wanted it. Maybe my stuff is too unique and it could be spotted to easily. More likely that I’m just lucky.

Since I’ve been talked off the edge of just disappearing into the void and deleting everything, I’ve been wrestling with whether I’m going to take down my writing. I don’t want to stop sharing it with you guys, but I also don’t know if I feel comfortable with it anymore. So, I’ve decided that I’m going to finish The Light, and then I’m done writing for fandom. Once that happens, I’ll decide whether or not I’ll be removing my master list.

To all my friends and loyal readers, I love you. So very much. I owe you all my life, and that is far from an exaggeration. You have graced me with the confidence to do something that I never dreamed I could be capable of doing. You’ve given me the gift of a craft that I love and has become a huge part of me, and I can’t even begin to put into words how much I’ve needed something like that in my life and how very grateful I am for every single word of encouragement I’ve received from all of you.

Thank you 🖤 (unless you steal peoples creative works, then fuck off and step on a broken Lego.)

XOXO,

Nuggsmum
