hey marauders fandom! just an aggressively unfriendly reminder that stealing an artists depiction of sirius or remus and using AI to generate more art in that artist’s exact same style & design - is incredibly fucked up :) stop that :)

bonus:

After I had a doctor ruin my health, cost me years of my life, and nearly kill me by missing the diagnosis of a tumor which was compressing my spinal cord, I learned this script:

“I’m not here to talk about my weight; I’m here to talk about [problem]. I have a history of doctors focusing on my weight and ignoring problems like ‘a tumor in my spine,’ so I’m sure you’ll understand why I would prefer we did not ignore my stated complaint to focus on my weight instead.”

“I would like to focus on the complaint that brought me in today, which is [complaint], not my weight.”

“What tests or course of treatment would you recommend to a thin person presenting with my symptoms? Why are we not doing that? I would prefer to proceed with those tests and that course of treatment.”

“Please write in my chart that I asked you for these tests and course of treatment that you would give a thin patient with my symptoms, and you declined.”

“I’d like to request a copy of my visit notes from today,” [if the above don’t work and you don’t have MyChart, “what’s the correct email for my written request?”

It may be difficult to insist on a patient advocate to be in the room with you, but in many states you are legally entitled to one. I bring one of my partners bc I have medical-triggered PTSD. They know how to advocate for me or support me if a doctor tries to steamroll me..

If you are in a hospital situation and cannot get an official advocate in the room with you, ask for a chaplain. Chaplains are used to being in a room to comfort and help patients and in many circumstances, just having a witness in the room will change a doctor’s tune REALLY fast.

Medical fatphobia is a big problem, and it really heavily affects but is not restricted to people that doctors perceive to be women (whether or not those people are women). Don’t let yourself be bullied!

My dudes. It’s fictional characters. It’s entertainment. It’s fake.

But the people you’re being hateful to are real.

hi there anon, if you’re that set on getting art done in a certain style, you can 1) pay someone to draw that way for you; 2) learn to do it yourself and produce whatever you want to your little heart’s content.

nobody has any right to demand anything from artists/writers. taste and style are all completely subjective, and telling someone that the way they choose to create isn’t what you prefer is so stupidly selfish i can’t even comprehend where it comes from.

fuck off to people who send messages like this; @pauleonotis​, all your art is a delight and a gift.

Honestly, how is sending something like this helpful at all?

This is not support, this is not uplifting, and it's uncalled for.

I love your art @pauleonotis! Please please ignore this anon!

People please remember :

This just in

THANK YOU.

Hey!

I wanted to warn you that none of this is mine, (that was pretty obvious).

I credit the artists when I can, when I know their names, when I know from who it was made, created, but it’s not always the case, sorry about that

So if you know the creator of one of my post, please tell me ^^

The easiest solution is to not repost the artwork that artists have spent their valuable time on. (it is pretty obvious)

Tumblr has a reblog function specifically so the original - credited - post gets passed around instead of stolen material.

Why don’t you try using that, sweetie?

You don't have to repost from pintrest or Instagram, or Google! You can get it right here from the source! And if you want to reblog on Instagram you can use Regrann or other repost apps that let you credit the artist without STEALING. It's pretty *obvious* as @veelawings said. (•̀⌄•́)

DO NOT REPOSTS ARTIST'S/CREATOR'S WORKS (without permission & credit)

Say it with me kids:

Anon is for shy people and people without blogs. Anon is not for you to send disgusting messages and hate without any consequences.

^ ^ ^

Hey, YOU STOLE FROM SOMEONE I CARE ABOUT. I don't need to be nice to you about it.

Don't plagiarise. Don't steal art by reposting. Don't say "Oh, I didn't know!" because that's a lie. Stealing is wrong, and you all know it.

Stop stealing other people's hard work.

Y'all make me tired...

can you creeps go ten minutes without telling strangers to kill themselves

like if you send genuinely cruel anons to people, anyone, just. block me.

PSA

TW: Paedophilia

It’s come to my attention again that the word ‘paedophile sympathiser’ has been thrown at someone for their creation. I am not naming people involved, don’t ask me too. I just need to say something about this whole thing that is happening in fandom. 

I’ve said before how throwing hate on anon is NOT okay under any circumstances, but it’s ESPECIALLY NOT OKAY when it’s to accuse someone of shipping something paedophilic, or to call someone a paedophile or a sympathiser of paedophiles. Do you know why?

BECAUSE IT’S NOT PAEDOPHILIA!

Do you guys have ANY IDEA how offensive this is to people who are victims of paedophila? Erasing their experiences by comparing it to a CONSENTING, LOVING, APPROPRIATE RELATIONSHIP? Do you have any idea how HURTFUL it is to the artist? Who has innocently shared A BEAUTIFUL fic or piece of art or ANY CREATION AT ALL to be told that they are that disgusting?! DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT PAEDOPHILIA ACTUALLY IS?!

First of all, I need to state for my own peace of mind, Paedophilia is a registered psychiatric disorder. THIS DOES NOT MEAN IT’S AN EXCUSE. I’m just stating, it’s recognised as a disorder. 

Second; It’s HORRIBLE. It’s actually defined as having sexual feelings towards PRE-PUBESCENT CHILDREN. THAT is what a paedophile is. Someone who is sexually attracted to children who haven’t gone through puberty ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY. 

NONE OF THE SHIPS I’VE SEEN HAVE CHARACTERS PRE-PUBERTY!!!!

They have age differences, they have interesting dynamics, they sometimes explore topics that people aren’t comfortable with, and sometimes both characters are under the age of legal consent, BUT THEY ARE NOT PAEDOPHILIC! THE DEFINITION IS THERE FOR YOU TO SEE YOU BLITHERING IDIOTS!

You think you’re helping cleanse the space from harmful material, but let me tell you, as someone who regularly comes into contact with people who have experienced paedophilic advances, this is FUCKING OFFENSIVE! Yes to the wonderful authors and artists that create this fantastic content for us, BUT ALSO TO THE VICTIMS, SURVIVORS, AND OTHERS OUT THERE WHO STILL BARE THE SCARS OF GENUINE PAEDOPHILIC ATTENTION (not that every paedophile acts on their attraction, some quietly take themselves to therapy and for that, we thank you!). 

STOP trying to be helpful, STOP SENDING ANON HATE. STOP BRANDING PEOPLE AS THINGS THAT YOU (thankfully) WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND.

These ships are usually written as consenting relationships. They might have some interesting dynamics that you don’t agree with. They might squick you out and you might not agree with the age differences. BUT KINDLY MOVE THE FUCK ON AND STOP BRANDING PEOPLE AS PAEDOHPILES OR SMYPATHISERS WHEN YOU ARE LITERALLY TALKING SHIT.

Unpopular opinion but…love shouldn’t be unconditional, actually?

I mean. It’s okay to stop loving someone when they hurt you, it’s okay to stop loving someone if they became an asshole, it’s okay to stop loving someone if they are dangerous, it’s okay so stop loving someone when they do something unforgivable.

I get where this idea of unconditional love comes from, and I agree with it when it’s based on things people can’t control, but…actions shouldn’t benefit from this privilege. It’s a dangerous line of thought, for victims of abuse firstly, because if you’re supposed to love someone through everything then you can’t leave. It also helps abusers get away with their shit, as they claim that they do it “out of love”, because, if love is unconditional, then you can’t stop loving someone, but you can also do anything in the name of love.

As someone who’s constantly shamed for not loving my abusive parents anymore, it causes me great distress. 

This woman started taking selfies with catcallers and uploaded them onto Instagram, captioning them with the vulgar words used by each of these creeps toward her.

THEY’RE ALL SO FUCKING PROUD OF THEMSELVES WTF

PREACH

Let’s be real. If little girls’ knees, shoulders, and clavicles are a problem for male teachers, you don’t have a dress code issue. You have a pedophile issue.
