ive seen ppl saying smth in the wider plagiarism discussion to the tune of "don't worry anxious people, it's impossible to accidentally plagiarize!" and i feel like that lacks a lot of nuance that anxious brains like mine latch on to to just dismiss the possibility outright, as well as a lack of life experiences fueling it.
it is possible to "accidentally plagiarize" in that you can read something, forget about it, then a while later have your brain spit the ideas back out without telling where it got them. so of course you just assume they're yours and share them as such, because That's Where Most Of The Thoughts In Your Head Come From! and it both is and isn't plagiarism, you weren't /intending/ to pass someone's else's work off as your own, i'd even say in a way you were just as much a victim of misinformation as your audience. but you very much so did still resuse the work of someone else, even if you don't remember it.
but in my experience, this kind of thing also happens to a lot of people. you tell a friend a joke then wake up in a cold sweat two days later realizing the reason they didnt laugh was because they'd told you that joke a month ago. you reply to a friend's text and after sending you realized you ended it with the same exact phrase as theirs. you're writing edgy poetry and write a line you really like only to see it in a text post two days later saying youve already liked the post. like, it happens. so if it DOES happens and you're just honest and explain, people will understand. something like "oh shit im sorry, i totally have read that, i mustve forgotten and only remembered bits and pieces and just thought they were mine. thank you for letting me know and for the source" works wonders.
people know you can forget things. people won't automatically doubt your apology just because all true plagiarists say it was accidental. HOPEFULLY people can understand the nuance between a genuine remorseful explanation, and a thief who hoped no one would find out scrambling for excuses for why they did it. and those who can't, that's a them problem, not a you problem, you've taken responsibility for your actions as much as you can. they think the answer is simple, that the only thing stopping you from saying "yes i did it on purpose, i knew the whole time and deliberately copied them" is shame/inability to admit to your actions. but sometimes things AREN'T that simple, so imo ppl who are shitty to you for not following the script they made up for you in their head should be ignored

As a fellow Dovewing lover, it's frustrating how the fandom watered her down into a whiny brat who never cared about Ivypool. I mean, seriously? Not only did Dovewing care about her sister (reacting in horror when Lionblaze, her own mentor and Jayfeather are willing to potentially sacrifice Ivypool's safety by employing her as her spy instead of trying to get her out of the Dark Forest's clutches, hiding a thorn in her nest to cover for her scarring from her training).
Heck, even the scene where she tries to feed Ivypool her catch during a hunting patrol was demonized because 'she was trying to make Ivypool break the code like SHE does, as if it doesn't matter' and because she got upset when Ivypool started arguing with her! But you guys said she didn't care, right? Plus, people act like being forced into a prophecy is something you should be grateful for, as if it didn't irreparably change her close relationship with her sister? As if Lionblaze and Jayfeather didn't still keep her out of the loop (and for all the fussing they made about keeping it a secret, Lionblaze confesses his power to Cinderheart and Jayfeather doesn't even care).
Meanwhile Nightheart is angry he isn't orange and hates his mom for being exiled and the whole world has to stop for him. 🤪 And Bramblestar is simply so tortured by having an evil father, the only choice is to train with him and his evil half-brother and hide this from his wife! (But remember, it's bad when that witch Squirrelflight hides the parentage of the three from him, even when Blackstar and Leopardstar were still around after being complicit in the torture and killing of halfclan cats.) Why are these male characters sympathized with, even when they actively harm people (Nightheart forcing himself into Sunbeam's life by lying to everyone about being her mate without even asking her if she would be fine with that beforehand), Bramblestar (we all know what he does), but when Dovewing or any other female character is upset, people freak out and call them whiny brats or abusive for (checks notes) asking her partner if he loves her anymore after they argued multiple times in a book. Really makes you think! (Sorry this is so long, you just have based opinions!)
dovewing being characterized as this flighty airheaded vain popular girl stereotype in fanon is like. one of those biggest "we didnt actually read the books" things in the fandom. like theres so much fanart where shes grinning and giggling over the prophecy and shes besties with the trio and shes got preferential treatment, and then in the actual books shes basically the autistic kid no one actually likes. people really, REALLY overexaggerate that one scene where she snaps at ivypaw and brags. (and i dont wanna shit on amvs but i am forever side eying how the animation community handled dove back in the day. more than one person animated her getting murdered. normal.)
i do think its gotten better recently at least. but wow does it feel like at least one person on the writing team has a bone to pick
(also awww thank you <3 no need to be sorry i love getting stuff in my inbox)

> NUMEROLOGY THEORY < get mad
This is easily my most controversial post.
but if you want to watch me spit in numerology face,
then please read away
Alright i love my numerology. But i think its complete bullshit.
Ive read so many sites and intepretations but they just say the same shit everytime, but when they explain themselves im like wtf that barely makes sense - for example life path 3 is jupiter, and it means; creativity, communication, inspiration. And i guess it makes enough sense to not question it. but i question everything, and i think we can do better than that >And thats where i come innnnn >>>
1 sun : MERCURY - Mercury is the first planet of our solar system, the sun aint a planet it just bright - all life path 1's dont act sunny at all, they act smart and calculated and they are 'independent' but the concept of the sun is not independent - the sun loves to share - mercury is independent, because to have an opinion requires an independent thought from others perspectives. - 'goal orientated' - so we all just don't care about our goals? bull shit fuck that, sounds like a mercury thing to only care about ur own opinion anyway - the sun likes to share and be the 'star' 1 energy don't it focused (like mercury)
2 moon : VENUS - the moon is not about the other (2 people) moon is technically a selfish energy, its about how you feel (yes people make you feel s type of way, but if you lonely, you gonna feel like shit anyway) venus is more appropriate planet for 2, becasuse 2 people requires diplomacy snd sharing, not the moon, the moon acts as a reflection, but it is not diplomatic, its selfish (but adorable) it takes 2 people to love and thats what venus all about, thasts why 2 should be venus (not 6 i'll get into dat) but this one should be pretty straightforward
3 Jupiter : EARTH - Jupiter is abundance and it could be 3 but theres a better answer for jupiter (coming up) 3 is earth because 3 is the holy trinity, god clearly loves earth the most, so its 3 okay, and everyone likes 3 (apparently) 3 is creative - there is no planet more colourful than earth - 3 is communicstion (everything on earth makes a lot of noise) and its inspiring - everywhere you look theres something inspirational on earth - you cant say that about any other planet - the rest of them just got a surface i guess
4 Uranus : Mars - whoever made up 4 as uranus imma slap the shit outta. 4 is a stable number (4 corners to mske s house) 4 is stability -4 is the emperor in tarot - uranus is nothing like that uranus is a crazy as fuck boiiiiiii. mars is far more appropriate, mars wants something it gets it (like emperor, in tarot) also a square is a 4, and thst mskes sense for mars because he all about conflict and competition. also they practical and sensible, and if your as bold as mars, your dsmn right you better be pracitcal or your gonna look like a fool and mars dont want thst.
5 Mercury : Jupiter - i understand 5 is about adventure and exploring, but its so much more fitting for it to be jupiter than fkn mercury. you see how dumb this shit is now??? look at the bigger picturre yall; numerologists didnt study the planets and it shows. 'change and progress' thats jupiters schtick, well hell its a little uranusy but mercury is a stretch. also everyone likes jupiter snd thsts why he 5 - he in the middle because everyone like him
6 Venus : Saturn - now ik your thinking saturn is karma and karma is infinite so it should be 8. well no your wrong, karma is not infinite. its however much you do you get back > think about how you draw the number 6 - you write a line (you do something) and it comes right back at ya (the cirlce bit). its also the lovers because saturn got a ring and everyone wanna find their special person to put a ring on > also saturn loves you, but he loves smacking you too. just like someone who loves you
7 Neptune : Uranus - ok this one does make some sense... because its about solitude and introspection... but anyway it took god 7 days to make the world - and the creation of the world changed the game you could say (like uranus is about change) - it also makes sense for uranus, because to change the world, you gotta observe it not be apart of it (to understand how it works) but you know what neptune does make sense here, so i get where they coming from
8 saturn : Neptune - wanna know what actually infinite? your spirit, spirituality, GOD IS INFINiTE - not yo karma - jesus fkn christ lawd save us and please forgive me for saying yo name in vain as many times as i do but WAT DA FUCK HAPPENED - Ik its associated with being a boss or a leader but to me its about achieving yo dreams, the real boss is someone like 6 or 4 (saturn - mars) and ik you thkink 6 is about love - but yall got no clue how much strength and fortitude it takes to love and it shows, thsts why saturn slaps you in the face as often as he be do > A leader must be in tune with god or they gonna get cancelled and not be givin leadership (dont forget who in charge you little shit)
9 Mars : Pluto - "embarking on a lifelong quest to quench an insatiable thirst for growth and new experiences" um okay - so how tf is that mars? mars is thirsty, but he dont care about growth he just wants some pussy. BUt pluto... now that makes more sense. Pluto wants the truth no mstter the price, and our life path 9's are on a infinite journey of digging and digging and thats what pluto do. pluto will literally put himself in jail just to see whst it feels like, mars will just fight everything, to attain his goals. pluto willl let you punch him to see how hard you punch.
Stay dumb - yes i made this up - just as the old numerologists made it up -
you dont have to believe me, thats why i dont believe in you.
I also believe if god is real, why wouldn't it be simple? why not correlate each number (and there only 9 numbers - excluding 0) why would it not be in the order god intended it to be?

UR BLOG IS AMAZINGGGGG, i hope u are well! Are u takin request? If u are, may u please do a little ficlet of the chain with a fashion designer reader? If u cant, thats ok! I wish u best of wishes and u are amazing! Dont u forget that u are perfect the way u are 😊
Thank you! I’m going rabid over this request because I like crocheting clothes and I’ve actually thought about what I would want to make for each of them 😂 you could say that this is, Time-ly (bad joke Ik).
AN+Warnings: N/A, safe for everyone. Written by Mishwanders - pls do not repost.
“Uh, whose is this?” Wind asked, holding up a red embroidered handkerchief. “Wild?”
Wild eyed the small cloth from his spot at the cooking pot and shook his head. “Not mine. Legends maybe?”
“Not mine either. It looks like it has your name on it in the corner. Are you sure your sister didn’t place that into your bag before you left?” Legend asked, settled in the ground, leaning against the log.
Wind shook his head. “No, I haven’t seen it ‘till now.”
“Speaking of mysterious things - I found the hole in my shirt patched up with a new embroidered piece. Looks brand new.” Sky mentioned
“Are the Minish sneaking stuff into our bags? I found a new tunic in my bag that fits like a glove and has a pretty design. I’m afraid to ruin it, it’s so nice.” Hyrule chimed in.
“It’s possible, but I find it unlikely. I think it take at least three Minish to hold a needle, no less more to actually embroider something like Wind’s ‘kerchief.” Four commented
“Then who’s been sneaking new things into our stuff?” Warriors asked
You sat on your own spot, biting down on your lip to keep from snickering. You had been the culprit of mending and making new things you’d new the liked or needed, a minor assistance in your journey together. Plus, you liked making things for others and seeing the surprise on their face when they saw it. You were hoping that your hidden deeds would stay that way, but wolfie was standing by Wind, sniffing at the handkerchief and picking up on your scent.
Dang it!
At least the dog couldn’t speak. He couldn’t give you away that easily. However, his state in your direction could have easily been a dead hive away. You patted the spot beside you and the dog made his way closer. You gently scratched behind his ear, trying to divert the attention away from you by praising Wolfie instead. “Aaawww such a good boy!”
However, the actions were not missed by a Time. He sat next to you, gently bumping your shoulder. “I don’t think the culprit has gotten into everyone’s things, mine hasn’t been touched yet. What about yours?”
You narrowed your eyes at him for a split second, knowing he was trying to bait and corner you.
“As a master of fact, I do.” You replied, picking up your bag from the ground to start digging through it. The only problem was though, is that Time quickly snatched it from you and held it.
You scoffed at him, scrambling to try and get it back. “Hey!”
Time kept his hand out on your shoulder keeping you pushed back as he allowed Wolfie to sniff the bag. “Same scent?”
Wolfie nodded. Dang it…
You were then pelted with a plethora of questions like small deku nuts pelting away at you. “Okay! Okay! Yes, it was me the whole time - but I wanted to make stuff for you and make sure your stuff still looks nice. Can’t have the hero’s running around all the Hyrule’s looking raggedy with loose threads and huge holes in their breeches or tunics.”
“Why hide it?” Warriors asked
“I like to see people surprised by the gifts I make them and I don’t really care for credit.” You replied
“Well, for what it’s worth, thank you. The new design on my tunic looks quite nice.” Four commented
You smiled sheepishly. “Don’t mention it.”
“Anyone you haven’t hit yet with your secret yet?” Wild asked
You pointed at Time. “Him and Twilight.”
“Saving the best for last I see. Have anything special planned?” Time asked with a cheeky grin.
You folded your arms. “Maybe, but there’s no way in the Depths that your finding out before it’s done.”
“Oh yeah? Wolfie, fetch.” He commanded, tossing it into the dogs mouth.
Your eyes went wide as you realized what was about to happen, seeing Wolfie’s tail wagging wildly. You knew the wolf was gonna take it directly to Twilight. “Wolfie…”
He took off running around camp with you chasing right after him. The others laughed at how easily Wolfie evaded you and each attempt you made at grabbing the bag. “Oh come on! Give it back.”
“Not until you tell us what you have planned.” Time chuckled.
“You’re insufferable old man! I’m not telling you - you have to wait!” You replied, sounding rather winded with the chase.
“Could you at least tell us what you have planned for the Rancher?” Time asked
You groaned, giving into his request seeing as how Twilight was not here. “I have plans to make him a new waist belt to replace his torn Ordanian one. Happy?”
Time smiled. “Very.”
Wolfie sat down and held the bag up to you. You took hold of it, eyeing the wolf. “You give it back without making me play tug-o-war I’ll make you a toy.”
Wolfie liked the sound of that, so he dropped it into your hand. You snatched it and held the bag close you it’s chest before narrowing your eyes at time. “You’re getting the scratchiest pair of wool underwear I can make for that.”
The others laughed and Time chuckled at your small threat.
“Looking forward to it.”

ok so ik theres a post i made floating around buuuuuuuut i want to make another one as i just like to do reminders for myself and other people as well :]
for starters:
be self indulgent! be so so incredibly self indulgent, be selfish with your works. write for yourself, draw for yourself. i know thats easier said than done and believe me i am still learning to be like that, but i promise its so *so* worth it because guess what? being self indulgent is fun, doing things for yourself is so *so* fun!!
like was said in that post probably, do aus, play with your favourites, add new tropes, add the most abstract things to whatever youre creating!! who cares if what youve did was did multiple times, who cares if its the same thing over and over, its NEW because guess what *you* made it and thats awesome :]
selfshipping is really cool and fun! like this entire post is on about, its for you and you should enjoy yourself, you should have fun! its ok if you dont write fics, its ok if you dont draw things for it, its ok if you dont do anything inside the community and are keep it hidden. whatever you do, thats so rad and your f/o loves and adores you w/e you do to show your love for them!
reminder: be easy on yourself. let yourself enjoy things, let yourself enjoy the process, let yourself explore. you should be gentle. never doubt yourself, do things you love, be self indulgent and have fun with it. whether you want to show it off to the world or not; its for you.

SCIKE
ship it
1. what made you ship it?
tbh ive always liked toxic ships i just never embraced it due to all of the fandoms i was a part of before td had no media literacy or nuance so if you ever shipped anything that didnt fit peoples impossible standards of cutsey uwu smol beans who have zero problems youd be compared to people who shipped literal illegal and disgusting shit which i very much do not appreciate due to some prior experiences with those type of people that im not gonna get into just know it traumatized me so yeah maybe dont compare me to those type of people that i hate with a burning passion lol
ik that wasnt much of a why i do but the answer is simple besides me saying the obvious stuff that goes for basically all ships and i really just wanted to finally rant about that lol 💀
2. what are your favorite things about the ship?
this could be argued that this has nothing to do with the ship buttttt the fellow shippers ive met multiple people who are pretty cool and nice and who became my mooties all because we loved our little toxic boys 🫶
and the fact the ship has really brought out the worst in mike and really leaves no room for woobification like let that man go ham!!!
most of the things i could list are less about the ship canonically and more about what people have done with it and man people are so creative and aaaaa its so nice but tbf thats also the case for most queer ships cause yknow the show doesnt care about us stop pretending it does lol
3. is there an unpopular opinion you have with this ship?
shipping it is the unpopular opinion lol just cause i said this fandom has more media literacy and nuance doesnt mean EVERYONE has it lol theres still people who are pulling the shit i explained in the first answer lol (proof being that one ask i got that one time)
other than that dont really have any
anyways scike takeover 2024 RISE WHERES YOUR ANGER WHERES YOUR RAGE RAHHHHH
