It is IN-fucking-sane the amount of times that I have seen people on Tumblr who don’t ever interact with me, but then I somehow come to find out they’re doing things extremely similar to what I’ve done, even to the point that lines and words are straight up copied 😑
Like, I try not to look too hard into things sometimes. But when something it’s brought to my attention by several different people, it gets a point where you gotta just stop and squint a bit.
Seriously, why the fuck does this keep happening to me? Like, in every creative space I’ve been in on here over the years, it’s always gotta be someone being a fucking weirdo. And I hate it specifically because I’m not the type of person to turn down someone taking inspiration from something I’ve done. My TOP story on Ao3 was born from me taking inspo from one of my favorite writers.
But you know what I did? I credit her as my inspiration and thank her for sharing with the community because that’s the normal thing to do. My story even re-inspired her to do something for the same character at one point. Now why the fuck can’t people on tumblr do that?
Like, HELLO??
