If you have not seen this post goin' around about not giving permission to allow people to take your work and put it into an ai against your wishes. There's the post.
Tumblr media
Let's talk about this user's close-minded brain that they left in the replies.
The fact that they believed they are saying "Facts" is pathetic. They even answer a question from anon who believes they are saying facts.
Hey come here, have you ever heard of... plagiarism? It's a fancy word for theft. Especially in a creative field mostly used in writing.
My fellow lovelies, it's that time again.
THE TIME HAS COME FOR ME TO SLAUGHTER ANOTHER BIGOTED IDIOT IN THE CREATIVE FIELD >:D
Ai aka Artificial intelligence, what the hell is that? Glad you ask, I don't know, but in simpler terms, it's code that replicates and learns. The more you interact with it and correct its errors the more it will realize and perfect its code. IT'S NOT ALIVE. It's simply following a code that involves something along the line like us which is growth.
Using ChatGPT for fun is alright. Using ChatGPT or OpenAi to finish a story that is not yours... is not alright. That is where a line has been crossed. A line that violates Fair Use.
And since the majority of AO3 users are not putting their work behind a paywall, it still falls under fair use.
OH but it's a fanfic, we can do whatever we like with it!
WRONG. Fan-fictions falls under copyright laws. So in other words. Y'all are violating our rights by putting them into an Ai. get fuck.
BOOM! BANG! AND HERE'S ANOTHER THING! Ai, in the US, have to have the permission of the original author to have their work used in the testing to improve the Ai ability.
SO GET FUCK AGAIN
Okay now that the facts are done. Like I'm serious, it's done, got any questions, shoot me an inbox. Now we dissect this person's close mind dumb reply.
FYI, everyone is like, destroying this person. I'm serious, oof I do not want to be this person. I still kinda remember the last person that spoke dumbness, but about art. Remember that person, damn, they really got my blood boiling at like... oh hey, it's 3 in the morning... This must be fate.
SO LET'S BEGIN!
"I mean alright but at the same time, Maybe it's a sign you should finish your fanfictions 🙃"
Damn, someone has a lot of time on their hand. And as someone who does has a lot of time on my own hands, I still can't fully finish a fic. Wanna know why, because I'm tired. Like there would be days where my brain goes somewhere and I'm left with trash. I'm feelin' trashy, I'm feelin' moody, I'm even feelin' lost. It's normal to feel empty and want to fill it but don't have the energy for it. So maybe instead of being an ass to people and forcing them to finish something they can't at the moment. How about, maybe, you should stop being an ass and let people take their time 🙃.
"Like, if a fic has been abandoned for at least over a year, I feel like it's ok"
Everyone, repeat after me, fan fiction is protected under the copyright laws.
"Cause like, you clearly aren’t gonna finish it, why should it be left unfinished?"
Who's gonna tell em'? Anyone? *sees you raising your hand in the back, ignores you* Alright, I will! So like, do you not have imagination? Like do you not just, lay there in the grass under a big tree, letting the wind touch upon your cheekbone, and just... dream about the story. Like, don't you just read a volume of a book and just, imagine what happens next. Once you are done reading that volume of the book, don't you just anticipate what happens next in the story? Don't you have those moments where you thought about whether a character was going to die or live? Whether they save the day or not? Cause if you don't then damn, that's sad. You're sad. Like shit man, I'm sad but oof, that's even sadder than me.
"Now I don't think anyone has the right to post that work anywhere cause it's not yours."
OMG, I'M SO PROUD-
"But getting an AI to finish a work that *you have no intention of finishing* isn't really wrong in my opinion."
I WAS SO PROUD OF YOU AND NOW LOOK AT YOU. YOU IDIOT. Once again, say it with me now, fan fiction is protected under the copyright laws. So in other words, THEY CANNOT PUT YOUR WORK INTO AI WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT/PERMISSION. god fuckin' damn it. So close, you were so fuckin' close.
"If you are gonna finish it, make that clear"
HOW!? No, tell me how. How the fuck is someone who is using their free time to write a fic is gonna make it clear for you to understand that is their work and they get to choose whether they can work on it or not. Huh? It's fanfic, it's one thing when a users ask the author to continue the story because that is a thing that writers do. There is a group of people that would take over the fic and finish it for the author if the author just does not have time to finish it.
It's another when a user just blatantly takes it and shoves it into an Ai because AHAHAHA IT'S A FANFIC IT'S NOT PROTECT UNDER ANYTHING. WRONG BITCH IT COUNTS AS A FANWORK. Therefore it falls under fair use and copyright.
Writing is more complex to tell whether plagiarism exists in it. But we're no longer talking about plagiarism if you are just shoving it into an ai machine. You see, that is a violation of OUR copyright. OUR fair use. OUR work.
Oh but what about intellectual property? Are y'all putting your work behind a paywall? no, then it's fine. You still have the power to protect your work. So instead of believing this person thinking they are spilling facts... do a simple Google search. Is fanfiction protected by copyright law?
It's fanwork. Therefore, yes. Yes, it is.
Just gonna casually edit this: The commentators have learned what they did/said was wrong.
This is not a debate post. I'm stating facts that your work is protected and in the US you got to have the author's permission to put their work into Ai tech/machines. If you don't have their permission then it's a violation of their right.

Yooooo chapter five is here 🥰 this one was a nightmare to write bc of how confused/contradicting Aemond’s head is after their wedding night. But hey, misunderstandings are my favorite trope, so really I did this to myself.

hi!! pride post, coming to you from your weird professional activist neighbor who never shuts up about their experiences
this year, i want to specifically highlight what everybody can do to make this pride special: examine and criticize whatever organization runs your local pride event. search their social media--find out who it is run by and where it is through, because chances are, you may not like what you find out.
allow me to take you on a little journey: my city (a major city in the Northeast US) had been run by a pride organization for quite a while. i had actually worked with them in my earlier years, organizing high school volunteering events, gone to meetings, spoken to their leaders. i had small doubts--seeds of curiosity that had tickled me, but i was young. 15 when i first started joining them, and didn't think i had the voice to speak with.
then, as time went on, i became more cautious. kept up appearances, but started talking to other people. local people, queer businesses and artists who tried to work with them. found out they overcharged for displays, yet openly supported the local police department for tabling. gave those police extra help, and headlined them. come to find out one of their head members supported tr*mp. the majority of leaders lived in a different state, and didn't actually know, nor represented, the lives of people in my city. fishy, and confusing. i stopped volunteering when i left for college in a different city.
it stayed in my mind. they used keith haring art for promos, touting that they held the licensing for it. i ended up emailing the haring estate--they did not. kept the hushed whispers around the city, asking questions
then--the big bad. the big bad that shouldn't have had to happen. they made a pride post about stonewall's anniversary, misgendering the individuals there. spending most of the post praising the police officers there that night, calling them "brave". stonewall.
was i shocked? no. but i was kicking myself. i'd seen the signs half a decade before. i'd met with the group and been uncomfortable with how white the leaders were, not representing the identity of our city. the city--our city--was the one that released the more colors more pride flag, yet the largest pride group was uplifting the police, was lying, was actively harming the individuals from the city in order to promote more and more force and rainbow capitalism.
we joke a lot about pride being overrun by rainbow capitalism--but what hides underneath is more egregious. it may not be on the surface of discomfort, but by fuck is it there right below the skin.
they disbanded. local run events started cropping up more prominently. it isn't fully what it should be, right now, but it's starting to get there. it took longer than i think any of us wanted, sadly, but it's happening
i implore you to peel back that layer. look, just a little deeper. find the roots and pull them up. i don't want it to come to hateful media presentations to have to take down the elements--maybe just as simple as choosing to find a different road. a different event. see who is actually representing our community as a whole, not trying to sift through to find their own powers. it's not a big action as an individual, but as more people come together, they break down the walls built around our frustrations. the dam has to break some day, hasn't it?

incredible how israeli Jews (fleeing persecution from European and mena countries) are consistently called genocidal colonisers but you never hear a peep about the substantial Arab emigration to Palestine during the British mandate. So much for their indigenous vs coloniser dichotomy, even if we disregard jewish people's historical ties to the land of Israel (which we shouldn't)
And let's not forget the emigration and forced displacement into Israel during ottoman times... but nay, only the evil joos can be evil!
Anyway, it is vile to see the ignorance they choose to remain in, and it's just saddening to see. It's to the point they think Arabic names of towns and cities are the original names (like Nablus, Al Quds, etc.) When Arabic is not even indigenous to the region lmao. They're so irritating.

I know I'm new in LotF fandom (or at least I'm new on interacting here) but I've been watching it for enough time already to notice some patterns that have bothered me. And I'm not gonna lie, I made this blog mostly to question some of these patterns like a good old beast should do.
First thing I'd like to ask is.... why do you guys like to prone others creativity every time it didnt reach to your own ideals?
I've lost the count of how many posts I've seem here that intents only to call out someone who likes a certain ship trope, or want to share their hcs, or just use a word to describe a character that you dont agree with. I've seem posts where a list of names and blogs were pointed and called out publicly when nobody even tried to reach those person and talk to them in private first to understand their point of view (yeah lets say i know some of those names). I've seem posts with screenshots of others blogs being accused of things with no proof or just because "they blocked me for no reason". Guys if I dont like what you post I'm going to block you at the first glance and I hope you do the same to me if you don't like what I have here instead of exposing my blog and making some public hate post just because you cant deal with a different opinion or interests than yours!
Said that and do not wanting to make this too long... I want to say I understand that many of you are just trying to make this fandom a safe place for everyone and all. But there is a big difference on those two things happening here. Discussing and exploring characters sexuality in hcs OR writing smut pwp of same characters OR condone with bad things irl ARE NOT THE SAME. If you cant handle the first two in your fictions you can pretty well block the blog and follow with your life. If you identify an IRL abuser you can call the police. Other than that you're just being an asshole and proning others creativity and pretty much causing more harm than avoiding it.
But how I'm causing harm if I'm protecting everyone from those bad things? You may ask and I'll take myself as an exemple here. I grew up on an environment that proned my sexuality a lot making me thing that any interest in this topic was ugly and wrong. I grew up believing I was a bad person and that there was something wrong with me, but as a good rebel I was it only worked to have me only doing it in secret. Today I look back at my teen years and see how things could have went very bad to me and I WAS LUCKY AS FUCK IT DIDNT! Just because I was said to not do it or that but nobody get to actually talk to me and try to understand me. But now I see how this can be dangerous to someone development and self acceptance.
So the only thing I ask is, if someone say something you dont agree with, why instead of making a hate post cant you just message that blog and talk to them? Try to understand their point of view and reasons, try to show why you think it isnt good. And if it still dont work for you, so just block them and get back to your life. Nobody need to be called out or prone in a place where they come to have fun with people that like the same book they do. Fandom should be about acceptance and not to judge one another.
Oh look it went way longer than i expected so I'm cutting it here. But please take a look on this post (CS MENTION) too it is very important.

Congrats on another great chapter of Ship Happens. I also really loved iDSTC... and I actually just heard a song about a FWB situation called Slip by Nicotine Dolls that I thought fit that song so well... it literally feels like it written for them
"Stop playing blind, we trip every time, throw away all those badly written lines like it’s all a mistake, I’m on my way but I won't spend the night (yeah right)"
"Will you hold me til the rooms fills up with consequences that kill like a drug we say we’ll try just to get high on what feels good"
"What if it all goes wrong? What if I fall in love with you and... if we slip then into your arms I’ll fall and kick this habit that harms all. All of the missed nights in your bedroom where we played pretend who’s the one to kill the light"
Go listen to it for reeaaal.
Anon, you bloody made my day, thank you so so so so so SOOOOOOO much for reaching out!! And yes, you're so right! I just listened to the song and In my head I was seeing everything play out like a movie between them and the lyrics were just perfect. If someone could turn IDSTC into a movie, this would be the song that was playing as it like did a montage of their moments.
Especially these lyrics.
"What if it all goes wrong?
What if i fall in love with you and
If we slip into your arms
I’ll fall and kick this habit that harms all
All of the missed the nights in your bedroom,
Where we played pretend
Who’s the one to kill the light,
If we slip I’ll give it up for you"
Like what the heck killing the light? It's like it was written for Carly! And what if it all goes wrong and I fall in love with you? This is legit what happens. Anon I can't, it's too crazy perfect!
Actually, while we're on songs! Another one that I really loved for them in this story (there are so many good ones though really) is Christmas lights by Zach Seabough. If you haven't heard that yet go listen, but I see that being Freddie's pov.
"You kissed me one night
You never thought twice
Now I'm a punchline
At least that means I'm something to you"
And
"So, you go, knowing I'll follow
The little bit of hope you leave me for tomorrow
It's a sharp pill, it's hard to swallow
But if it helps take off the edge, and fill the hollow
Hole inside my chest that's shaped like you
No one fits the mould, so what's the use?"
Gah! Let me know what you think! 😘

Why is the whole fandom comparing Ned with bad characters. First Viserys and now Vaeymond?? Why??? Just because they both pointed out bastards and then were killed for it? It’s not the same situation. First of all, Ned didn’t scream and call Cersei a whore to her face. He offered her mercy and a chance to save her and her children. Secondly, Rhaenyra’s children inherit the throne through her. Cersei’s children inherit through Robert and Joffrey wasnt Robert’s and even if we disregard this, Ned was a whole lot more respectful and sympathetic to Cersei and didn’t slut shame her in front of the entire court.
Sorry for the rant but I just wish they would leave my boy Ned out of this.
Last time I checked Ned never took a child for his wife and forced pregnancies on her through marital rape, so get him out of the Viserys discussion.
And I see why people would make parallels between Vaemond and Ned considering they were both calling out bastards, but they’re wildly different. There’s a reason for why Ned is a lot gentler and more compassionate while doing it, it’s not the blood of his house that will be overlooked for other people and he’s by nature more prone to a gentle way. I feel some sympathy for Vaemond, but the way he went about it was absolutely terrible and Baela should have been Corlys’ successor if Rhaenys wasn’t allowed to continue sitting the driftwood throne, not him.
The conclusion is to keep Ned out of this, he deserves better

The JOY i felt when i checked your blog and someones been sending you homestuck asks. oh my god. eridan was my chase like a year ago(they are . humorously comparable as well) and anon you are so fucking right. its hard to remember theyre all teenagers but when you do it hits you like a BRICK. and its also. so obvious in the ways they talk(literally any time eridan and feferi interact ever. theyre going through their middle school breakup) i think eridan is the perfect balance between funny stupid guy and overwhelmingly tragic. its been like months since ive read it but i'm pretty sure his first introduction was getting mad over a faygo bottle. he is just sooo...... i think everything he does is . perfectly realistic for an angsty 13 year old who literally does not have parents. he absolutely wouldve grown out of his 'all land dwellers suck and should die im better then everyone else ever' thing if given the chance. its something that went too far because of how unnecessarily violent troll culture is, and the.. aforementioned lack of parents. at the end of the day everything he does is a result of how he was raised and the environment he was raised in. Hes just overall A Guy. hes the nightmare combination of gideon graves chase and most mitski songs. hes such a stupid character i love him GRAVE DOGGG
nightmare combination of Gideon Graves chase and mitski sounds like a character personally tailored to me. his first introduction being mad at a faygo bottle is so real ngl. Ive never read Homestuck but damn you convincing me. characters who were never given the chance to mature so they get stuck in juvenile thinking that causes them to hurt people because of a fucked up upbringing my beloved's.

My husband and I are new parents to a beautiful and healthy baby girl. We’ve dreamed of this moment for so long and encountered so many obstacles along the way, including multiple miscarriages. After 5 years of trying, our daughter came into our lives through IVF eight weeks ago. It feels like a miracle to have our child in the family, and I love her more than anything.
But, I feel awful even thinking this, I don’t think I love actually taking care of a baby. This is a huge cliché, and everyone just says some variation of “everyone feels that way!” when I bring it up. But the truth is, raising an infant sucks. Like a lot. No one in our family is sleeping through the night right now, which I know is normal. What I didn’t expect was how resentful and done with everything I feel. I didn’t expect to be so terrible at doing everything. Most of the time, my husband can get our baby to calm down and go to sleep right away, but I spend hours rocking and singing to her and she just keeps screaming. I didn’t expect my husband and I to be frustrated with each other all the time because we’re both so exhausted and strung out. I didn’t expect to feel so crazy. I mean, I fiercely wanted this baby. We went through so much to bring this little person into our family. So why aren’t I happy ?
I feel like I have no right to complain and no one to talk to. If I ever mention anything about struggling with things to my husband, he either shuts down or blows up and we have a fight. I don’t want to blame him because he take care of our daughter so I can sleep all day. All my friends think we’re so lucky we were able to have a child, and a lot of them are struggling to have children themselves. I’m afraid I’ll seem ungrateful or make them feel bad if I talk about how I’m feeling. I finally have the family I’ve always wanted, and I’m miserable. I’m a terrible parent. How can I do this better ? How can I feel as happy as I’m supposed to be ?
i am aware that motherhood can be draining and taxing on a woman when society's expectations of what a mother should feel and be like are so unbalanced, outdated, unsympathetic and unrealistic. in your defense (and so many other women's), it must be said that the dominant narrative surrounding motherhood is extremely trivialized, sugar-coated and one-sided. most influencers or media will conveniently portray motherhood as an outright blessing with no downsides whatsoever. and that's of course not true but most women buy into this propaganda nevertheless. and who can blame you for thinking that? doctors, nurses, media, educators, institutions, culture itself intentionally omit to mention so many daunting and isolating aspects of motherhood that society at large won't do anything to acknowledge, let alone tackle.
society as we know it couldn't exist without the women's care labour, and therefore we are socialized to practice care labour (via tireless child bearing & rearing) ever since they first gave us dolls to play with and encouraged us to "care for" and "raise" them. men just don't get pressured the same way, not by far. men aren't taught to feel "incomplete" or "useless" or "unnatural" or "unaccomplished" if they never father children at all.
im saying this just to lay the groundwork and to let you know that if you don't enjoy motherhood now, it's not because you're broken or the only bad apple in the orchard of perfect mothers. you embarked on this journey not knowing what motherhood entailed exactly, but it's not your fault because i can assure you they tried their absolute hardest to blissfully keep you in the dark all these years. society doesn't want women to know about the sleepless nights and the nonexistent sex life or all the hobbies you'll have to drop in order to give your child your undivided attention, possibly even your job. they just want you to look forward to all the birthday parties, to how cute the baby will look in a costume or the first time they will call you "mama". and don't get me wrong, the rewards and satisfactions of motherhood are not entirely made up either, they do exist and they will come along eventually. but it's still fundamentally wrong the way society conveniently decided to just downplay or outright overlook the challenges in motherhood. it's all very calculated and this system has been in place for millennia, long before women even had a say in the matter of childbearing, so please don't beat yourself up too much for not knowing.
this being said, what do you do now that you're already a mother?
well, you seek support of course. there's an african saying that goes "it takes an entire village to raise a single child", and it's true. you cannot possibly be expected to handle this pivotal life altering task on your own. it goes without saying that your husband will have to pull his own share of the weight as well. if you guys have parents or siblings who live nearby, then involve them in the child's life as much as possible, so the baby can spend some time with the grandparents or the aunt/uncle while mom and dad take a nap or spend some quality time together. if you can afford it, then hire a sitter who will look after the baby during the day when you need a few hours to yourself. and most importantly, try to unlearn all those unfair crazy standards that you're painstakingly trying to live up to. they shouldn't even exist in the first place as they're the legacy of patriarchal teachings. dont ever silence yourself just because everyone else seems not to have time or ears for you. your complaints about motherhood are entirely valid and they deserve acknowledgement. demand hearing and understanding from the people around you. isolation is the root of all evils in this case.
I'll also leave you one reading recommendation. even if nobody around you seems to understand the cognitive dissonance you're experiencing, you'll find many women who do in this book: "regretting motherhood: a study" by orna donath (i can send it to you via email for free if you can't buy it right now).
one last word of comfort: i am not a mother but i have heard that the early months are the absolute worst. they too shall pass, though. the baby cannot always stay a screaming incoherent mess forever. she will grow up sooner than you know. she'll develop normal sleeping patterns, and learn how to voice her needs in a different way than screaming. you'll be able to understand each other and communicate soon, so don't be too soon to call this entire experience forfeit. it's gonna be a long bumpy ride full of surprises and you just got started
