Lmao

#ok this is silly but its driving me fucking crazy #i have a long ass fic in a tiny tag and someone bookmarked it a couple months ago #with the note ''currently rereading'' meaning they slogged thru the whole entire thing at least once and probably twice #and now...Miraculously...they r posting their own longfic for the same tag with the same pairing and the same conceit #(this is muddy waters cause obv i can't lay claim to a retelling BUT) #certain scenes...how do i put this...my retelling was peculiarly mine (what scenes to highlight #and what to leave out...dialogue...interpersonal conflicts and dumb shit that didnt exist in the orig)... #and some of these fucking scenes are going beat for beat the same way as i wrote them and its driving me Nuts. #some of these turns of phrase are literally verbatim sentences ive written....conversations play out the exact same way... #her main character is a healer with a tragic dead ex and obv i cannot lay claim to that concept cause. fucking #but... here's a cheeky example. i had a scene where the healer character refuses to heal a minor injury (bruises) #because excess use of healing magic might stunt the bodys ability to heal. right? #and thats not groundbreaking by any means but its NOT in canon whatsoever #theres a scene in this persons fic where her healer character Refuses To Heal A Bruise #Because It Might Stunt The Body's Ability To Heal #she also has a dramatic realization halfway thru the story that her 'missing' lover has been dead from the start #again i cant claim ownership but im a tiny tag where i know for a fact that theyve read my fic... #and then they take over these concepts word for word.... #up the fucking wall babes. #and like I shouldn't CARE this is DUMB but i poured a lot of time and care into that fic #so yknow....dont go and rip stuff from it without so much as an acknowledgement perhaps #biggest insult is the fact that theyve taken several story beats and been like ''This Except Heterosexual'' like get out of here #get outttttt #ok and the ~Love Interest~ cauterising the healer's wound with fire magic as a bonding experience #thats. Wildly specific dont u think?
