I don’t really give a shit about James Somerton, but apparently he claimed that he Did A Plagiarism because of a head injury he had as a kid + ADHD, so he would just copy and paste paragraphs and then forget to rewrite them.

And as someone who was ALSO hospitalized for a head injury as a child, and ALSO has ADHD (with one of my primary symptoms being memory loss), I feel uniquely qualified to fight him on this because I have never done a plagiarism.

#also how did he not notice the copy+pasted words when he was reading them out loud?#did he sincerely believe he wrote those himself?#I call bullshit #fight me James #james somerton #anyway fun fact before I got diagnosed with ADHD I had a meltdown because I thought the head trauma was why I was Like This #and my mom was like ‘oh sweetie you were Like This your entire life’#but I still like to say that I’m a dumbass because I dropped myself on the head as a child

I'm supposed to be doing homework because I need to be up at 0530 my time to record a fucking debate for school and instead I'm fucking about on tumblr so I figured I'd finally post the link to this silly little wolfstar fic I wrote that I'm actually super proud of lmao It's my second posted wolfstar fic but the first one I actually ever started to write so like. If you're bored and want to read a silly little story about two silly little dead gay wizards who are DISASTERS who eventually fall in love with a side of Jegulus not getting paid enough to deal with their bullshit than have at it LOL

Summary:

“Moony…oh Moony, my Moony. You wonderfully terrifying creature.”

---

Remus Lupin remembers meeting Sirius Black the same way one remembers their own name: Vividly clear and without question.

Black joggers hung low on sharp hip bones, accompanied by a voice like a warm campfire on a cold night; but when Remus looks up, it's Sirius’ eyes that would cast the final nail in Remus’ coffin. See, Regulus Black, Sirius’ younger brother and Remus’ best friend, had sharp grey eyes like an ocean during a hurricane. Eyes that caught every detail and were as terrifying as they were beautiful. But Sirius? Well. They may have held the same intensity as his brothers, but they were also heartbreakingly kind. Far too kind for a 16-year-old boy who packed himself and his brother up at the tender age of 13.

---

Sirius Black doesn’t remember meeting Remus Lupin. Not exactly. But he does remember the moment he fell for him completely.

Sirius feels like Remus will unravel him entirely. Remus has a way of finding all of Sirius’ loose threads and tugging them ever so gently, undoing the half hazard knots Sirius made in his panic to simply survive; and the kicker of it all is that Sirius would let him.

#i posted this twice #because i dont know how to work tumblr lol #who knew you had to hit insert when putting a link #what kind of witch craft #anyway #the adhd is adhding #wolfstar #wolfstar fic #jegulus #sirius black #remus lupin #james potter #regulus black #seven diaries #seven writes #she's not perfect but she's mine

i see your ‘james potter was the mom-friend of the group’ hc and i raise you ‘peter pettigrew was the mom-friend of the group and he was fueled by constant exasperation that his best friends were just three different versions of idiot’

#james had adhd and prioritized everything besides the things he actually needed to do #remus was... remus. so the general concept of taking care of himself was an offensive idea to him #and i think sirius would just not really care about things he considered 'boring' except that it would be things like breakfast #the marauders #peter pettigrew

Did JAMES prefer one son over the other?

If you asked him, he'd say good parents don't have favourites, but both sons thought he preferred Nick. Alex for valid reasons and Nick . . . for not as valid reasons. More on that later, though.

#warwick.answers #anonymous #but remember alex had adhd and was a hyperactive inattentive mess as a kid #james found that dealing with him was overwhleming and stressful #and this often translated to them having a strained relationship that wasn't possible with nick #james was always repremanding alex for underprefromining at school or being loud . . . that adds up

James Somerton has made a second apology video.

Highlights include:

He has a million ads on this and promised to give the money to either Hbomberguy or Wikipedia (yes really).

He had head trauma as a kid and now has severe memory issues.

His cowriter Nick was his roommate and moved to a different city so he just had to move with him and that's why the original film got delayed and because they kept changing the idea of the script.

He was recently diagnosed with adhd and his therapist said that's maybe why he plagiarized but he's not saying that himself.

He and Nick grew up poor so that's...a reason for the plagiarism somehow.

He's going to start posting videos again, but not video essays, he's going to make documentaries. He said his new patreon is in the description but he's not trying to promote himself.

He didn't address his misogyny, biphobia, weird obsession with Nazis, or begging for money while buying expensive as fuck camera equipment.

He also kept saying his mistake was crediting sources in the intro to his videos and not doing proper citations, ignoring the fact that he wasn't crediting people at all in any way, shape, or form.

give me your favorite marauders head cannons i need it heres mine

regulus’s hair was a lot like narcissa’s when he was younger when he was a boy he had blonde streaks in his hair, but when he was about 11 his hair went all black.

regulus has a grey eye and a blue eye

he’s autistic, but hides it

trans regulus has been roaming my mind and i love it.

james is latino and a really good cook curtsey of mama effie

when he’s angry he yells in spanish and only when he calms down you can understand him

james carries tampons/pads for regulus so he can just grab the bag and regulus can get it without asking.

james has adhd and anxiety, but with those it’s more physical actions like fiddling with a pen or wand and talking fast.

i love the head cannon of deaf remus tbh it’s really interesting to think about.

he is diagnosed as disabled so he has to use a cain everywhere because back problems and he gives out every once in awhile making him fall.

remus get’s grey hair early, but it’s not full out it’s like streaks.

remus has bpd and sirius and his friends make sure he takes his meds and knows his body language to help because he gets into fights easily.

sirius plays the drums to get his emotions stabilized and he always has his drum sticks on him to fiddle around.

to go with the deaf remus to get to know him more he learned sign language and always speaks up for him because remus is mute most of the time.

whether i get hate for this one idc i see him as genderfluid, but it’s more of subtle looks and like his actual face that makes him look it because it gives off a little confusion because his face is just both feminine and masculine and how he presents himself too.

demisexual sirius. yes you can thank crimson rivers for that one.

peter likes photography and likes to capture the world and the people he loves on film

his love language is definitely quality time to me and like he just silently does things for people

i feel like him and regulus could get along well as well

let me know if you want my headcannons for the girls! or just more in general

A Measured Response: A Measured Response

Above please find the video I'm responding to, "A Measured Response" by James Somerton. If he deletes later (and I suspect he may), I will reblog with an embed of a copy of the video.

Also note: Much of this is taken from comments I made on his video. But I believe he may be deleting them. Or I got caught up in the spam filter because I commented more than once out of sheer frustration with what I was hearing.

James,

Okay, I am going to start off with a couple things I will give you credit for:

1) Acknowledging the shitty effect nuking your channel had on Nick's career and prospects. That's actually something that hasn't been discussed much and it is genuinely good of you to volunteer that to your audience. As someone who once had her own portfolio nuked by former partners, that's a good thing to bring up. No notes there. That was a good move.

2) You actually used the word 'plagiarism' this time.

I would also like to say that I am glad that you are safe and I am glad you are still alive.

I'm hearing lots about insurance, and your mental health struggles, and the move YOU chose to make "disrupting everything" and your mom's death, "not citing things correctly", how ADHD apparently made you plagiarize, and how hard things are for you. And how people harassed and doxxed you. How you totally want to prove yourself!

Here's what I'm not hearing about:

1) The harassment campaign you launched against your accusers that literally caused them to go into hiding. Sorry, but you don't get sympathy points about death threats and doxing without at least expressing remorse when you did that to others. You haven't mentioned it once. you also falsely accused OTHERS of sending harassment your way and have not acknowledged it.

2) The multiple transphobic and misogynistic lies you told.

3) The tangible impact of queer erasure YOU ENGAGED IN. You barely mention any of the people you stole from. Believe it or not, James, but those people? They also had lives, and jobs, and obligations. Some of them also had dead parents. Then there are the queer people you erased the identities of, slandered, and insulted. Becky Abertelli had to deal with YEARS of the same sort of harassment you're complaining about because of people calling her straight. And even after she was FORCED OUT OF THE CLOSET, you perpetuated that lie again. And yes, YOU DID, JAMES. PUTTING HER IN THE 'STRAIGHT AUTHORS' CATEGORY IS CALLING HER STRAIGHT, JAMES. THAT'S HOW CATEGORIES WORK. Then when she briefly corrected you, you lied about her repeatedly and inserted nasty little vague comments about her so that you could bait your audience into asking about it and claim she harassed you on twitter for not liking her show (which never happened once. She didnt even bring up you straight-washing her on twitter. It was in your comments section.). So not only did you lie, you went out of your way to create opportunities to lie about her more.

4) The outright dangerous rhetoric you engaged in. Such as:

a) You lied about the AIDS epidemic and generations of actual queer activists who you claimed didn't care about employment discrimination and just wanted to have "big gay weddings" because they were "boring. This is a false and dangerous retelling of queer history, not only isolating new generations of queer people, but also erasing the tangible benefits of the legal benefits you enjoy now, James. THEY WANTED MARRIAGE SO THEY COULD HOLD THEIR DYING LOVERS' HANDS AS THEY PASSED AND ATTEND THEIR FUNERALS, JAMES. THEY WANTED MARRIAGE SO THEY WEREN'T KICKED OUT OF THEIR HOMES AND STRIPPED OF BENEFITS DURING A HEALTH PANDEMIC, JAMES. THEY DID FIGHT FOR EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS, JAMES. THAT'S HOW SEXUALITY BECAME A PROTECTED CLASS. Lying about and downplaying the legal rights these valiant "boring" people fought for misleads current generations of queer people into caring less about their history, the people who have done the most for them, and protecting the legal rights so desperately won.

b) All the gay Nazi shit. I feel like I shouldn't have to explain why inventing facts about all the Nazi secret police and youth counselors being gay and extorting people for sex under the Reich is so insanely dangerous and disgusting, but here's a hint: it casts your own community as being the vile, perverted criminals that THE ACTUAL PEOPLE WHO WANT YOU DEAD (you know, homophobes? Not people on the internet who noticed you plagiarized the Celluloid Closet) perpetuate in order to sell their draconian policies to the masses.

c) all the misogyny. I get it, you want to erase the discrimination against women (and people you claim are women) have faced, especially as queer women. You wanted to pretend Radcliffe Hall was allowed to "carry on with her happy little life." You wanted your audience to believe that. You wanted your audience to shit on women for moral panics you made up. You wanted to erase the queer identity of a woman who had already been through Hell and then pass it off as justified. With the rising tied of renewed misogyny,, incel attacks, and reproductive rights being stripped from us, you really, really wanted to sell the message of women being whiny, jealous bitches who get handed everything, never deal with consequences, and hate people for not liking their work. (TBH, it feels a bit like projection on your part) thank you for spreading so much incel rhetoric and transphobia and making your audience ignorant of the great contributions women have made to LGBTQIA history.

I'd respect you more if you would just own up to the obvious biases you clearly have.

That's not all, but my hands are getting tired.

5) That you were caught lying about the contents of Hbomb's video in your initial patreon response.

6) The worth of the people you stole from.

7) Using Nick's asexuality as an excuse for your acephobic AF bullshit about how ace people apparently never dealt with institutional oppression when they're the most likely to be sent to conversion camp and have had corrective rape used as a "treatment" throughout history. Like, holy shit, James.

8) How you tried to lay blame for your shitty, stolen work on your own audience because "you didn't wanrt to make them and they were patreon requests." You didn't have to keep video requests as a perk. Those people paid over $300 to you for those wids only for you to throw them under the bus.

9) Your complete refusal to update your Telos backers on anything besides announcing new projects that you were using to replace the projects you promised them. You could have gone on Patreon, Indiegogo, Twitter, or your channel, and explained things. Things like this happen. But instead you ghosted and gaslighted.

10) The shit you pulled about Nebula.

11) The shitsquillion dollars you spent on cameras you didn't need when you were also claiming to your patrons about being on the verge of homelessness.

"It's a documentary, no opinion just cited facts." James, you've cited "facts" like "15% of the Hitler Youth counselors were gay", "Radcliffe Hall didn't get punished for writing a book about lesbians", and "there was no fight against employment discrimination" as "facts."

Then there's the part where you're still insisting that the people who told you that you can't make a short film on 3K were wrong. You insist it's possible because you intended to use non-union labor. then two minutes later you admit a movie you put together ended up going way over-budget because you didn't realize how much things would cost.

So the Telos nay-sayers had a point, James. Why are you still acting like they were wrong. Do you just not want anyone to find Dan Olsen's tweets about your finances?

The fact that you think you have any business coming back when all you've ever managed are lies and theft is so hilariously conceited. I get it. You want to be able to "carry on with your happy little life" (the way Radcliffe Hall DIDN'T). You want to go back to being a big youtuber and for everyone to admire you once you manage to go a whole video without stealing from anyone. That's not how this works. You have no credibility. You have caused a huge amount of damage not just to your immediate audience, but also the queer community overall.

You hurt a lot more people than Jessie Gender, James.

"We weren't trying to lie about things." BULL FUCKING SHIT. YOU NOT ONLY LIED ABOUT BECKY ALBERTALLI MULTIPLE TIMES. YOU EVEN MADE AN INDIRECT DIG AT HER SO YOUR AUDIENCE WOULD ASK ABOUT IT SO YOU COULD LIE ABOUT YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH HER AS WELL. YOU LIED ABOUT WHO ACTUALLY WROTE YOUR VIDEOS. YOU LIED ABOUT YOUR CREDITS. YOU LIED ON PURPOSE. AND YOU LIED IN WAYS THAT HURT PEOPLE.

You also lie in your video saying "in the beginning, I thought it was enough to put people's names in the opening credits." No you didn't. You started using those opening credits well after the accusations came rolling in. You even admitted on twitter that in the beginning you weren't "citing my sources yet."

Do I believe much of your bullshit was pure laziness? Certainly. But there can be more than one reason for it. There's no way you knew who Radcliffe Hall was and actually thought she face no repercussions. No one who has ever heard of The Well of Loneliness DOESN'T know all the prints were destroyed. It being a lesbian book that was destroyed by the courts is THE STORY.

You lied when you said you didn't call Becky Albertalli straight. EVEN THOUGH YOU ADMIT TO PUTTING HER IN THE STRAIGHT CATEGORY.

You lied about your "adaptation" of Evil Queens and tinker Bells and the citation and schedule of when you got approval. You got approval after the fact and claiming you got it from the beginning. your own email screenshot proves it.

You lied saying the Evil Queens video was "a direct adaptation of the books" despite half the video being plagiarized from completely different works. You lied about your plagiarism accusations and HBomb's video rehashing old "debunked" accusations on Patreon. You lied about Alexander Avila. You lied about reading/watching a bunch of the media you were "critiquing." you lied about when you started with your opening credits.

These were ALL LIES YOU TOLD ON PURPOSE.

You don't "research", "write", shoot, edit, and post a video with shit like that in it and say it wasn't malicious or intentional. You put these videos out there with scores of lies, many of which were directed at various marginalized groups, and CHOSE to never check if anything you said was true. You don't invent entire fake moral panics "by accident." You don't plagiarize by accident.

Please don't spend forty minutes reciting excuses and then claim "these are not excuses." You're not fooling us.

Also - Leave your poor mother out of this. She already had to die of cancer. Let the poor woman rest.

But thank you for linking your new patreon and telling us all about your upcoming videos! I am glad you have your priorities straight. (that was sarcasm)

Just leave the internet, James. Not LIFE, OBVIOUSLY. Stay alive. But your time as a content creator is done. You have no viability in that area. The fact that you think you can just do this is equal parts entitled and delusional. That you think you can come back so soon makes it even worse. Tell you what: you can try again after it's verified that the people you stole from have been compensated and you properly apologize for everything else.

I will not believe you're truly sorry until you can actually apologize without caveats, excuses, and, yes, lies. Saying you're sorry for "not citing things correctly" is not apologizing for what you did. It's cushioning the actual facts and downplaying your transgression. You have not apologized for the misogyny, acephobia, or transphobia, which, yes, YOU DID. I don't care if you want to claim it wasn't intentional YOU STILL DID IT. You haven't apologized for harassing and slandering your critics.

So no, James, I don't really believe you're sorry. I think you're sorry this blew up and that you have to make a new patreon. I don't trust that you won't continue being misogynistic. I don't trust that if you ever see this comment, that you will actually read it instead of crying homophobia and cancel culture and "wanting you dead."

Admit that you harassed people and that it was awful. Admit the extent. Admit you lied about Becky Albertalli and apologize to her. Admit that, yes, YOU HAVE SOME REAL ISSUES WITH WOMEN and that you are ready to confront them.

I don't trust you to do the right thing here. But maybe this comment will be read by someone who might have otherwise fallen for this and it'll be easier for them to see through manipulation like this in the future.

Just log off, Bro.

headcannon that as a kid, James (who had undiagnosed adhd for a while) couldn't tell the difference between his left and right shoes so Effie had to right a big L and R on the soles. And it didn't make difference because he'd show up to school with them wrong anyways. ANd Sirius remembers this vividly,( he never lets James forget it.) Sirius convinces James to get an L and R tattooed on his hands when he's of age. Effie laughs so hard she forgets to yell at him.

When James gets his drivers license in the muggle world this also comes in handy. He frequently uses them in his everyday routine.

"James has ADHD!"

WRONG

James Potter is so patient and so focused and so understanding.

James Potter has OCD.

James Potter focuses so much on the little details of absolutely everything. People being no exception. He gets people gifts correlated to an interest or desire someone has brought to his attention once or twice in passing. He notices habits and actions and fears of others and makes sure to adjust his responses or the way he comforts them to better fit their needs. James Potter has chronic skin picking disorder. James potter gets so frustrated that he cries. James Potter cares way too much about not caring. So much so that he spends all night awake, worrying about whether he seemed cool enough or kind enough or himself enough for others. James Potter doesn't talk about his issues, and when he does it's matter-of-a-factly. James Potter is so acutely self-aware that he would interrupt his own therapist to explain what was wrong with him. He knew the answers to his problems, but he liked the conversation of it all. James Potter has food aversions. He's a calorie whore. Makes sure he isn't over or under the allowed amount every day, both in fear and in habitual routine. James Potter has spent months perfecting each aspect of his every move during quidditch. When he was 11, James Potter spent an entire year working his hands to the bone to make absolute sure he was good enough to be recruited. He only smiles when people tell him he's got it easy. That he's a natural talent, only narrowly fighting back the urge to hold up the callouses engrained in his skin and tell them "Look. Look what i did. Look what it gave me." James Potter is a great cook, but he doesn't do it all too often anymore after he got that nasty scar on his thumb, because he wondered all too really what it would be like to press his palm onto a lit burner. James Potter, when alone, sometimes finds himself trying to make sense of it all. The whole universe. He surrounds himself so often with people because he just plain hates being alone with his thoughts.

James Potter gets caught in the little moments. James Potter has wondered all too many times what it would be like to just knock a lit candle over or stab a quill into his hand. To just let go of his broom while flying. James Potter avoids ledges and no one could quite tell you why. And no one knows that he has it. He'd never tell. It's a shameful secret between him and his psychiatrist. He knew years before he was formally diagnosed. He did, like with everything, months of extensive and detailed research on the subject. Despite it all, an orange bottle of little white pills remains dormat in his cabinet. Unopened, untouched. He isnt sick. The doctors said hes sick he isnt sick. James Potter gives himself headaches over little things and shames himself when hed comes to the realization that no one else seems to pay mind to them. James Potter was so stressed about his own yet-to-be-planned surprise party that he threw up once. He was eleven. James Potter has had the same haircut since he was twelve. The same glasses since 13. James Potter has OCD.

I offer you this very good and very real headcanon
