it would be so interesting to cast antigone with a major star as creon and a total unknown as antigone and then publicize it accordingly with a bigger focus on the creon actor

#id be so curious about how audiences would respond to the play after being primed like that #anyway: antigone is not the tragic hero and not even the main character #creon loses everything to her. his son. his wife. his sense of self and kingship. even what should be his play. #mine #how is a greek chorus like a lawyer

HELLOOO happy late birthday!!

i was wondering if you could do something with a lawyer villian flirting with hero and sleeping with them to manipulate them into signing something and they do but in the villian realises that the hero actually tricked THEM instead the next morning

thank you love your writing !!

“Have you ever read Macbeth?” The villain was too groggy to answer right away. God, they hadn't expected the hero to be that...passionate and now they were just exhausted, leaving them with the desire to waste the whole day. Preferably with the hero on top of them.

“Never read books in school. I hated my English teacher,” the villain admitted, sinking their head back into the pillow, eyes still closed. They assumed the hero had gotten out bed before them which — even though it shouldn’t — wasn’t what the villain wanted.

“Shame,” the hero said. Finally, the villain turned over and stared at the hero who was sitting on the chair at the end of the bed. Their hair was wet and they didn’t have any clothes on.

Immediately, the villain cursed quietly, sitting up in bed. Being distracting was exactly what the hero managed to be constantly. Without any effort, it seemed and exactly that made the villain weak.

“Did you enjoy your shower?” the villain asked, looking the hero up and down.

“It’s a shower in a five star hotel suite. I guess it was alright.” The hero smiled and so did the villain, as if they weren’t constantly working on destroying each other. Even now, the villain didnt feel too bad. Ever since the hero had actually discovered that they were a lawyer, they had wanted to use it to their advantage. With an academic approach they were sure they could convince the hero of their “reasonable” intentions and get them to sign documents that permitted the villain to access classified information from the agency.

Mean but very entertaining. The villain had been smart about it, had written it like an apology and peace contract at once. Quite bulletproof.

“You’re feral in bed, you know? And eager, too. I like that.” The hero smiled gently and went through their hair with their hand. Although the praise didn’t seem to embarrass them, they seemed to be rather satisfied with it. The villain couldn’t help but like it.

“Peace has to be celebrated, don’t you think?” they asked. “That’s all I did. I enjoyed myself and I think you did too.”

“Oh, I definitely enjoyed myself,” the villain answered. They knew they could never have the hero in the way that they desired. So, they loved every little interaction they shared, even if it was a fight, even if it was an argument. They had to admit though, that this was the best type of interaction: whenever they got to be two people who could talk to each other and got to be themselves.

Seeing the hero this vulnerable was a nice change of pace.

“So,” the hero said and stood up. “You have never read Macbeth.”

The villain swallowed. Yesterday was already blurry in their mind, leaving nothing but the comforting feeling of being desired. But seeing the hero in front of them, naked, looking down at them, all wet...Christ.

“Uhm, no.” The hero walked over to them, pulled the blanket aside and sat down on the villain’s hips. Slowly, the adrenaline rushed back into the villain’s body and they felt the urge to flip the hero on their back and go for another round. Desire was a funny thing, they had discovered. Forcing them to do things they had never quite dared.

“You know...” The hero’s flat hand found a place to rest on the villain’s stomach, warm and familiar. “For none of woman born shall harm Macbeth.”

“That sounds good,” the villain said. Their hands found the hero’s bare hips and held them, almost afraid that the hero would get up any time soon. Water dropped onto the villain’s stomach.

“Well, his murderer wasn’t born. C-Section.”

“Oh, that’s clever.” The villain grinned as the hero’s hand started to explore.

“Language is important, isn’t it? As a lawyer you understand that better than no one else, isn’t that so?" The villain started to blush and suddenly, the feeling of having made a mistake overwhelmed them. What if the hero had found out about the line they had snuck in there? ...Allowing heroes of all kinds to be part of the association. Heroes of all kinds. Even ex-heroes which the villain most definitely was. But even then, the hero had signed the papers. There was no going back now.

“Language is very important, my little nemesis. It’s what makes you a hero. It’s what makes me a villain.”

“Not your actions, huh?”

“When you kill someone, it’s self-defense. When I kill someone, it’s murder. That’s language’s doing, not mine.”

“Hm.” The hero leaned down and kissed them gently, heavenly. “Well, darling. I guess language made your whole contract a little useless, then. You bound that contract to my hero persona, not to me as a civilian. And I am sorry to say this, but my hero persona is rather unemployed. As a civilian, I work for the agency. As a hero? Not so much.”

“What?” The villain laughed gently, not quite believing what they were hearing. “No, I have your signature.”

“You might wanna check again who’s signature you’ve got. Not my signature. You’ve got the hero’s signature.” The villain stared at them, mouth dry. They felt a little betrayed but they guessed this was karma coming back for them. God, it had been such a good plan.

“That’s ridiculous. You’re the same person.”

“Oh, sweetheart. The hero’s signature doesn’t mean anything. They’re not even a registered citizen. You were so excited that you didn’t think of that, hm?” Although the hero’s hand wandered lower and lower, the villain felt everything but excitement.

“No, I...I checked everything.”

“For none of woman born shall harm Macbeth. Babe, the hero was never born. The hero isn’t even a person.” The hero kissed them again, ever so sweetly. “But thank you for that wonderful night. You should try to trick me more often.”

[gingerly-writing]

Hi Ginger please could I have some prompts regarding a lawyer who specialises in cases involving superpowered people?

"You know Supervillain's civilian identity. And you're going to tell me, right here and right now."

They swallowed against the weapon pressed to their throat. "Attorney-client privilege," they rasped. "I'm not telling you jack."

-----

"Powered rights are human rights," they snapped. "I won't let you take them away."

"You don't even have powers. Neither does anyone in your family, or your friends, or your close colleagues. Why do you care?"

-----

"Hey, it's going to be okay." They crouched down next to the handcuffed kid, rested a hand on their shoulder. "Do you know how many people I've got off powered charges? I've helped Hero, Superhero, Vigilante, even Thief escape these nonsense laws. I'm going to help you too."

"They want to make an example out of me-"

"So let's make an example. An example that will teach them not to mess with any of us, ever again."

thank you for commissioning these! if anyone else would like to commission a prompt set my kofi is here <3

Art Begets Art and the Law Should Respect This

I believe in the tradition of folk art, which is to say: Borrow liberally and lovingly.

It's a practice we've been mostly sterilized from embracing in our modern corporatist society, where all of the big-name, commonly-recognizable "IPs" are imprisoned behind layer after layer of obnoxious lawyers with nothing better to do than torment the innocent. It's a terrible thing, a deprivation of our cultural oxygen—a crime against art and ethics.

As an artist myself, I often have to thread the needle of building upon the inspiring works of others while still remaining within the letter of our outrageous IP laws. It's something I think about a lot.

In Galaxy Federal, for instance, I mentioned last time that the name "Galaxy Federal" was inspired, among other things, by the mention of the "Galaxy Federal Police" title screen of the original Metroid game. When I was settling on this title for my series, I also found that Galaxy Federal is the trademarked name of a bank. I spent considerable time and mental resources, years ago, to determine to my satisfaction that it is permissible under the law for me to use this title.

I have to do way too much of this bullshit, and I know it'll still be for naught: If I ever do become an even remotely successful author, I'm sure I'll be sued anyway, probably for something I never even realized was an "infringement" despite all my vigilance. Because, at the end of the day, for big corporations and for IP trolls, our IP laws are just a racketeering scheme—a side hustle. I mean, Best Western trademarked the word "seniority." If someone wants to sue you, they're gonna find a way.

I am not really a "from scratch" writer. I don't sit down at a blank page and just come up with prose from first principles. My art is almost always inspired by things that I experience in my life, or by the ideas that result from those experiences. Sometimes—frequently, even—my inspirations come from things that are copyrighted or trademarked. I have written in the past about the influence of the video game The Secret of Mana on me as a kid. Among many other inspirations, that game has a neat sandship in it, and that's why the desert easts of Relance are prevalent with sandships.

Over the years I've become a pro at reinterpreting IP-blocked inspirations into usable, original ones—both in terms of the legal research I've done and the skills I've developed at transforming an IP-blocked inspiration into something usable. I've also become more knowledgeable about what I can get away with quoting directly: Certain things cannot be copyrighted, and trademarks have a finite zone of applicability.

It's all a very needless and skill-intensive ballet to achieve something that should be directly accessible. Obviously, there do need to be limits. As an artist myself, I am keenly aware that I wouldn't want to have no special claim to my own work. But if I were to rewrite our outrageous IP laws—and over the years I have amassed considerable material for a book on this—I would make it vastly easier for artists and the public in general to "borrow liberally and lovingly" from the sources that inspire them. Our current IP laws are like a crime-ridden police state: The security is in all the wrong places and just doesn't work. We could relax the laws considerably without hurting artists, and potentially even tighten them in other respects to better combat trolls and thieves.

But in the meantime, here's my advice: Don't let it daunt you. Dance the friggin' ballet. Get good at transformation. Liberate intellectual property from its prison in spirit if not in substance. And, when you're fearless and/or sufficiently obscure, just straight-up pirate. I think society has a duty to reject unjust laws through word and deed.

I don't usually don my pirate's hat, but I do sometimes. When I published the Prelude in 2015, for a limited time I also published a free companion soundtrack consisting entirely of, gasp, copyrighted music. Nowhere is the horror of our modern IP laws more evident than in the realm of music. What I did was basically create a curated playlist, to help set the mood of the story. I don't know if anyone even availed themselves of that soundtrack, yet for me to license all of those pieces to make my limited-time links lawful would have cost me thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars! All for something that it's possible nobody other than me even listened to. That's a crime against art. And it's a crime against artists. Our draconian IP laws hurt small artists the most. If I had had thousands of fans, I'd have been able to pay to play—and I would have done so, or perhaps I would have spent the equivalent money to hire composers to write an original soundtrack. But, as a nobody-artist and a poor person, whose own Curious Score musical compositions are long in the making, the lawful avenues are all unassailably closed off to me. This too is an injustice, of another sort.

Doing the companion soundtrack was the right thing to do in the tradition of folk art. None of those other artists (or, let's be real, the corporate goliaths that hoard most of this "content" in their treasure-vaults) was deprived of a single penny; in fact that's one of the great lies of the IP lawyers and their corporate masters: Cultural interchange usually improves income for people whose work is quoted by others. Borrow liberally and lovingly—and give credit where credit is due.

That's the way it should be.

And, one day, that's how it will be again.

Okay, but Mat moments overshadowed after the horn:

The face Padan Fain makes when Mat comes out holding the Evil Dagger Stick.

"PERRIN, PERRIN, MY OLD FRIEND PERRIN :DDD"

"PERRIN, I'M NOT LEAVING YOU, I'M NOT"

SvS is great because Janus's argument is simultaneously so well crafted and also so deceptive and manipulative. Look at him go. He really fits the lawyer role to a tee

#he runs circles around thomas while interrogating him and its insane to watch #and then he's like 'the only reason you don't speed is to avoid a ticket' #and cuts off thomas when he tries to go 'or maybe its because i don’t want to die in a fucking car crash' #the whole max stirner bit is really good too cause again it's so well presented and you wanna be like ok ok go off #but then its like oh ur just gonna gloss over the relevant details of him not practicing what he preached? for the sake of ur argument? ok #+his reaction to thomas saying the trial is unfairly set up is basically just 'uhhhh ok but its not that serious though' #as if he didnt set up the entire scenario in the first place and give a whole ass Joker monologue at the witness stand like ok sure buddy #i love him he's so slippery and slimy and manipulative and charismatic #the anti hero ever #i think patton not knowing wtf he was doing also made janus look a lot smarter by comparison to be fair #he also ran circles around patton to the point where patton's interrogation of him straight up ended with janus interrogating patton instea #janus sanders #sanders sides #selfishness vs selflessness #ts janus #deceit sanders #ts deceit #and yes this is subtle lawyer shade LMAO #ive never met a lawyer that wasnt shady and corrupt af

Honestly k!Staxx and k!Quackity's dynamic was extremely underrated like yes they were mother and son but more importantly I firmly they would've casually sold each other to satan should the opportunity come up

[boxwinebaddie]

i have writer's block and depression, so i have nothing major to post, but to cheer me up, i am giving you some slut era!jersey lore. <3

in rm!kyle's room, by the bed ( which, again, is a mattress on the floor with some navy target bedsheets on it; he's a whore, we know this ) / sometimes in the closet ( it depends how much ~stuff~ is in there )

there is a brown carboard box that has "Lost And Pound ;)" written on it in pink sharpie and big loopy girly #extra asf handwriting that bebe presented to fuccboi kyle one night as fun & fresh way to collect all the misc. articles of clothing, trinkets, invent-whorey items that his idiot boy hookups leave behind when kyle's done with them and they're being thrown out onto the street. <3

bc, usually, he'll give you likeeee thirty seconds to grab your shit and get out? but if you're too slow, sucks to suck...literally. so, as you can probably imagine, a LOT of boy belongings accumulate in there.

however, unlike an actual lost and found, if you forgot something, you cannot come back and get anything you accidentally left behind -- some boy left his nintendo switch and kyle threatened to Bludgeon Him with it if he so much as breathed in his direction again, lmaooo.

i'm so serious, like, if you manage to book a legendary jersey kyle session, one, congratulations, bc it was the lay of your life, two, i'm sorry because he's never going to call you, but most importantly three, once you pass under the too low, paint-chipped doorway into his room ( ky hits his head on it 25/8, it pisses him off so much )

— you better hope that once you exit out through that doorway ( or the window if kyle is Extra Irritated ) that you have anything you love and treasure On Your Person as you go, because once it's in the lost and pound, it's blondies property and if you try to talk to him OUTSIDE abt it??? ohhhh my God, dude, he will pretend not to know you, he will squint at ur dick, he will Embarrass and HUMILITATE you in ways that you will think about at your wedding, your child's first birthday party, every xmas...jersey will chew you up and spit you out.

ergo?

don't try it.

anyways! i got sidetracked. so where i was going was that while no pathetic idiot worm boy kyle sleeps with is allowed to reclaim his missing shit, sheila taught kyle to be a ~resourceful king~, so kyle just offers the Objects Of Rejection up to marj, bebe and tweek to use for various art projects. ex. if tweek is painting but doesn't want to get paint on his clothes, he can use a lost and pound shirt, if bebe wants to do a fashion girl thing, she can use a flannel as scrap fabric, tbh sometimes marj sews patches into her skirts/makes aprons/uses socks & stuff as rags when she's doing cleaning around the house.

i'd call the l&p a slutty college boy good will, but it's more of a...

Bad Won't

...if you will. ;)

well, whatever the case, kyle is evil and unsentimental and refuses to create any sort of accidental attachments to said stupid boy things, so everyone can do what they please with the lost and pound items.

usually it's just clothes, but sometimes they get Good Shit like air pods once??? omg??? one time they got a cellphone, an apple watch!!

boys do leave their car keys and you'd think kyle would be nice and give them back, but...kyle is Naught Nice, lol, so if ur lucky he'll say something like "go long, football boy" and chuck them out the window and if you are Unlucky, he'll call you on the burner cellphone from a past lost and pound experience and make you listen to your car keys getting absolutely demolished by the garbage disposal <3

...he's just so Sweet, isn't he?

luv u jers xx ;)))

tldr; lost and pound supremacy! the gayng do be grabbin a hoodie from the l&p when they're freezing bc they late paying the electric bill, doing artsy stuff or just bc they think a shirt is cool. speaking of,

i think there was a crimson dawn teeshirt in there once...

Interesting.

Prompt #3311

“Are you alright, [villain]? You’re looking a little...tired. I’m not sure those eye bags are court approved.”

The villain scowled at their jovial tone. “You know exactly why I’m tired, you little pain in my ass. Trying to arrest me the night before a major case? That’s low even for you.”

“So maybe I’m sick of you winning on behalf of the bad guys. Can you blame me?” The hero prowled closer, settled their hip against the edge of the villain’s desk. Leaned forward until their shadow fell over the villain’s papers. “Maybe I just want to watch you lose. Maybe I want to watch the prosecution tear you apart.”
