(Looks down at what I reblogged yesterday)
...Those times when your brain feels like it's sleeping and you can't think of a good reply to a good idea. Then, before you give up and go offline, you see a post that REALLY triggers you and your brain springs to life with something to say...
...Despite the fact that you've been trying to write something to someone for legit multiple days about a really interesting topic but your brain just decides "No, no, NO! You aren't going to say a SINGLE WORD to them because I said so!"

I will NEVER get over the fact that I can write stories. Like I can weave threads of whimsy in a whole new world and make people feel things if I weave them well enough???? Stories are worth so much!!! Lines of poetry are literally currency to me like I get to write little lines and then writing little lines helps me notice things when I read other peoples' lines????? Magic! Whimsy! Characters! Words! Words! Words!
Reminders for the Anxious/Depressed Creatives
You’re more than what you make.
Your productivity does not determine your value.
It’s okay to do nothing sometimes.
Not everything you do has to result in a product.
Not everything you make has to be important, significant, or even good.
You can make things just for yourself.
You can keep secrets for yourself, whether it’s not posting some of your projects or not sharing your techniques.
You’re allowed to say no.
You’re allowed to rest.

That's nothing but selfish immediate gratification. Even worse is that it's an insult to the writer. Way to be grateful for the art they chose to share with you FOR FREE. They had no obligation to do that, you know. >:(
Bet this person would probably take credit for it, too! They probably think they're sooo smart. Yeah, no. Not sorry at all, this is pure laziness.
If this happens to me and my stories in the future I'd personally feel kind of violated. I want this fictional world I shaped to be the best it can be, which is something that takes TIME AND EFFORT, and then somebody comes along and shows how much they don't care about the work that went into the project by butchering it and stealing the scraps that remain.
Writing fanfic for other fanfics is OKAY so long as you ask permission and are respectful of the material. But this nonsense? NO. It should not be done. It should not be tolerated.
yeah uh... don't do this :)
HEADS UP! (Important)
I put this in the comments already, but just to be clear I'm hoping to have this effective by tomorrow. I think I should bite the bullet and start doing this quickly because the last three "followers" I got I'm pretty sure are spam bots. I don't want things to get out of hand and end up having over 100 "followers" that are bots.
If I want real people followers then I'm going to work for it, dangit!
