#but who's being stolen from

[inserttemptitlehere]

For a website that was all about pirating movies, TV shows, and music it suddenly got very anti-art theft on here.

And for a website that was all about fanfiction, fanart, and OCs, it suddenly got very anti-derivative art.

#art theft #ai art #seems like the issue isn't really 'theft' #but who's being stolen from #I get that stealing from billionaires isn't immoral but stealing from poor people is #but labeling the 'new bad thing' as seems pretty hypocritical #but I can see how if you didn't call it that #then you'd just sound like you're anti-technological progress #and then people could point out the hypocrisy of you benefiting from previous technological advances #that made certain artists and crafts people less in demand #while also protesting the technological development that would do the same to your art blorbo

I still can't process the fact that russians kidnapping Ukrainian children, adopting them in russia, changing their names and other personal information from Ukrainian to russian, "re-educating" them and raising them as russians is our reality.

hear me out: tony who writes poetry.

He dosnt mean to. not at all. he fucking hates poetry. but his journals say otherwise. He just writes, and he’s careful with his words when it’s about his own feelings.

“No project gets scrapped. The fact that I am there to create them proves even the most worthless of scrap could prove useful.”

“If machines do not go to heaven, I hope I join wherever they are. What heaven is there where the friends i made, the friends i created, arent allowed entrance? I hope when my batteries expire, my bones rust over”

“sometimes when my son cries, I wish i still believed that a person can emerge from childhood without scars. The sayings that rationalize my own suffering construct a world where my boy cannot escape my fate.”

#are some of these lines stolen from my wips? #the world may never know #the world should have a good fucking guess tho #i know this may seem so ooc #but this is the man who gave the demons speech in IM3 #and who told bruce he might actually enjoy being alive #tony stark #iron man #marvel mcu #avengers

Halsin's character in Act 3 post breaking of the Shadowcurse is actually, either intentionally or not, another more quiet and subtle angle of trauma exploration; specifically, the alteration of identity development and its previously existing commitments post traumatic events.

#in this essay i will #BG3 Musing #Halsin #Halsin Posting #it's how you can tell shadowheart and halsin were written by the same person - both of them suffer #either in a literal or figurative case #from an inability to access one's past self due to trauma #a floating vessel of identification if you will #it's not that they do not want to be their past selves - it's that they don't really know who their past selves *are* anymore #(literally in shadowheart's case) #and they are reaching out frantically in familiar directions trying to get it back #when they are dunked into the cold water of reality that has been stolen from them in one way or another #halsin's description of himself outside of his one track mind is bracketed by hesitation #he says that he becomes consumed with the completion of the task at hand #shadowheart cannot remember frivolous pieces that crafted her identity - she is *literally* being consumed by an outside influence #they cling to aspects of their personality that they have retained which amps them up to 11 #it's weird though how aspects and aftereffects of trauma are only recognized if they are immediately recognizable outburst #anyway happy birthday to me i am going to think about the elf man some more

Matrixbearer's Ranting Time:

Referenced Post is here. Fair word of warning- the original post does have a fair share of mature themes. But you don't have to read it to get context since I do explain anyway.

Just a gentle reminder for the ladies, gentlemen and everybody in between- but please please for the love of god be careful about how you word your reposts.

I want to give @claudethecrabdemoness the benefit of the doubt and say they had well meaning intention thinking that @bindeds wrote a drabble that was very oc x canon coded which they really enjoyed. But please pay attention to how things were worded in their tags.

"Not my writing but it might as well be."

Excuse me my dear but that is genuinely quite an entitled thing to say! How unbecoming of you to go ahead and so blatantly undermine another creator's efforts! It isn't your writing and please highlight that fact instead of trying to pass off someone else's work as your own.

This isn't me being protective of Beck, I just hate hate hate content thieves and liars. We appreciate the reblogs guys, especially when it gives us more exposure; but not when you try and brush off that we created for you all to appreciate simply because you want the credit to a similar idea you have.

A gentle reminder that it actually takes our time, energy and effort to post things for you all to enjoy. We don't even know if you enjoy it as much as we do but we shoot it out anyway with the hope that you will. So please, please be considerate enough next time to not do this.

As writers and creators it hurts to see this, especially when there's such an obvious disregard for the effort and time we've put into honing our craft just for someone to go: "I like this! It's mine now!" That's not how the world works hun. Grow up.

Lastly, please don't go and attack the person who did this. I just wanted to make my stance and opinion clear on the matter as a fellow writer and friend. Again, they possibly mean well or the words carried the wrong intention- which is why I'll say it again.

Be careful about what you post online, how you word your posts, and who you affect. Anonymity and social media presence can often make us forget that there are in fact other people who we make happy or sad depending on what we do on here. So be mindful, be kind, and be considerate. We just want to all have fun here like you do.

#Okay I'm fucking tired. #Nawalan talaga ako ng gana dahil dito guys. #I always feared this would happen to my series btw #And I'm glad it never did which I'm thankful for #Hell I'm extremely thankful to the people who support me that you all have never done this even to the offshoot drabbles I write- #and you all appreciate my work anyway in sometimes very entertaining ways #but to see it happen to others is a genuine reality check that this problem was always and possibly will forever be there. #please spread the message about this guys #just so we can be aware and foster a happier community #and that people won't be deterred from sharing their created content soley because they fear it being taken/stolen #x reader #hazbinhotel #hazbin #hazbin fandom #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel 2024 #hazbin hotel fandom #hazbin hotel imagine #hazbin vox x reader #hazbin vox #hazbin hotel x reader #hazbin hotel x you #hazbin hotel vox x reader

Wanting to only give back the West Bank and Gaza to Palestinians while continuing to occupy the rest of historic Palestine and not allowing the Palestinian refugees who were ethnically-cleansed from there to return doesn't make a person any less of a Zionist from those who want to continue occupying all of Palestine from the river to the sea, no matter how much they swear they are not a Zionist.

#At least we reached a point where SOME of these colonizers are ashamed from being called Zionists #not because they don't support Zionism or the genocide of Palestinians #but because they don't want to deal with the negative connotation that comes with that word #so they will hit you with the I'm not a Zionist I just believe innocent Jews have the right to live in stolen homes :'( #but only in 75% of Palestine! The poor Palestinians deserve to keep at least 25% of their homes #because they're equally as much of a victims as us <3 #except the ones who want to return to their homes form -pre-1948 Palestine #those are evil Jew-killing monsters who should be grateful that peace-loving Israelis even want to return an inch of their land back #anyways wanna talk about Hamas? #palestine #palestinians #anti israel #anti israeli #anti zionist #anti zionism

[ear-motif]

how does one cope with knowing that every moment of their happiness can only exist with the continued exploitation of colonized nations. like even if i kill myself it wont be enough and even if i devote my life to change it wont be enough because all forms of my happiness are predicated on theft and destruction.

#walk in nature? on stolen land thats getting unliveable because of me? #meditate? on a full stomach i dont deserve breathing clean air despite me being a polluter? #like i was taught this shit and lied to saying that that doesnt mean i deserve to die #yes it fucking does!!!! yes it fucking does #you dont forgive someone who steals from your family and kills them. you fucking kill them back #esp after getting fired i have NO right to claim i am worth resources #itd be fucking disgusting and dishonest to try and lie to myself like that #hard not to fall into despair when life LITERALLY is a zero sum game that you won by cheating

girls should kiss me. girls should also hug me. girls should gently stroke my hair while i rest my head on their lap.

#shamelessly stolen from someone who was being an asshole about me reblogging it #fine then i’ll make my own post~ #but also yes i am touch starved as hell help me

[spearxwind]

btw i fully condone the theft of AI generated designs. it's morally correct

#my only concern with these is how it hurts the artist whose art is being ripped off but like... god damn. that AI can iterate #i would be worried about the ai generating just. ppls ocs but there are so many different iterations the that its nigh impossible imo #and the AI is good for prompts anyways its meant to be an assistive tool not the end all be all of art #and if youre an idiot who pays for an ai generated adopt then you are #in fact #an idiot. and deserve to be stolen from #thunderclap

Ruin and Rising- Chapter 18

Kefta isn't just some coat, it's a protective gear and a symbol of Grisha pride and value.

This is when Second Army was still working organization with clearly set ranks and order:

The Healer nodded. “Give her your kefta,” Ivan said to her. The woman frowned but hesitated only a moment before she shrugged out of her red kefta and handed it to me.

Shadow and Bone Chapter 4

... while the Healer obeys, her first reaction is displeasure and hesitation.

Somehow, Alina's teen monarchy-supporting gang stealing if off corpses of those, who fought against them, against what they represent, feels more sacrilegious than drüskelle wall of genocide.

Those are at least honest about their hatred and intentions.

If the player character doesn't exist, who fills their role in each questline?

#as for the main quest i have already stolen munchys idea ab ralof being the dragonborn so jot that down #and it coincides very nicely with my 'Paarthurnax/The Greybeards thought Ulfric was the dragonborn' headcanon #gerdur asks ralof (and hadvar who he escaped with! THEY DESERVE TO BE FRIENDS AGAIN GODDAMNIT) to #go talk to balgruuf n stuff and it all goes from there

i started reading The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes on my sister's recommendation, which consisted entirely of "there are brothers, you'll like them"

and by god, she was right, they are so Lynch it's almost distracting lmaoooo

#Inheritance Games #there's an oldest brother that breaks the mold cuz they have 4 but otherwise #there's the uber-wealthy paranoid 19yo micromanager in a suit who introduces himself with ''assume i know everything'' #there's the self-destructive devil-may-care one skipping school and being drunk at funerals but obviously with a sensitive side #and there's the contrastingly sunshiny baby of the family oozing friendliness and being a giant sweetheart #and their unexpectedly dead grandfather's bizarre will has effectively stolen their home out from under them #IT'S THE LYNCHES FOLKS SEND HELP #so where are the AUs huh???
