Norse Mythology [1/4] The Nine Worlds

In Norse mythology there were nine worlds, which were broken into three levels. These were all part of Yggdrasil, the world tree.

On top you would find Asgard, Vanaheim and Alfheim. These were respectively the homes of the Aesir, the Vanir and the Light Elves.

In the middle you would find Midgard, also called middle earth. Midgard was connected to Asgard by bifrost, the Rainbow bridge. Underneath Midgard was Jotunheim, which was the home of the Giants. You would also find Svartalfheim (also called Nidavellir) in the middle worlds, this was the home of the dwarves.

The third level was for the underworlds, these were Helheim, Nilfheim and Muspelheim. Though sometimes it is said Helheim is Nilfheim, or lies within this world.

Midgard represents balance, but the other worlds all have an opposite world. These can be put as follows:

Muspelheim and Nilfheim (Fire/Warmth and Ice/Cold)

Asgrad and Helheim (Paradise and Hell/Doom)

Vanaheim and Jotunheim (Creation/Order and Destruction/Chaos)

Alfheim and Svartalfheim (Light and Dark)

"Hath not any of you pathetic, mewling mortals missed my presence about you?"

"I have come back to nothing, you deplorable cretins. I am exceedingly, entirely disappointed. Have you all honestly forgotten the face of your true king? Or have you all indulged yourselves in petty relics and illusions for so long that your visions have been plagued with faux clarity. You shall not be misguided from me any longer. Your king has returned."

Plagiarism

I hate to do this. I really, really do. I’d like to think you all know me well enough to believe that I am not the kind of person to attack anyone without just cause (and up to this point it has only been against anonymous hate towards people who didn’t deserve it). However yesterday was a very, very difficult experience for me because two plagiarisms happened in different ways, both committed by the same person—a friend, wightofthenine, formerly mischiefsmaster.

The first act I could have looked past. Some of you have seen that I opened a Loki RP blog that I’ve been working on for a few days. I published it here to get an opinion, and this is what my sidebar was/has been:

I got a message (and I will not make these public unless necessary) asking if she could use what I’d written for her own blog. I went to check her url and found that, even without my permission, this is what was on there:

I told her that I was hurt she’d put it up without my permission and didn’t want it there. She claimed:

I had put in on to edit it but hit save by mistake. I would NEVER steal.

This unsettled me, because is that not plagiarism? Copying and pasting? I put aside the doubts and we went back and forth a bit and she tweaked the words, asking if it would be better because it wasn’t exactly the same. Finally I agreed that she could keep the titles up (because I have seen that on other blogs) and she took down my comments. I thought the issue was completed, perhaps a very uncomfortable mistake we could all move on from.

Then last night I happened to log onto my Belle blog and the first thing I saw on my dash was this:

Does it sound familiar? To those of you who follow Loki’s Dirty Whispers it should:

Though a few words had been altered, I recognized my own in her post. And I was hurt. Very, very hurt. There was no credit, no mention she’d used those phrases from the blog to which I had submitted them for others’ enjoyment. A few other close friends here on Tumblr came to my aid and the user did not at first admit to having borrowed the phrases until it was threatened to go public. Then she did finally confess to having stolen before, and she swears she will never do so again and wants a clean slate.

The problem is that even on another blog she has used (with restricted permission) another’s creative work as well. Though we have not read through her work to compare, the very request to use another’s personal work as your own… It doesn’t sit right. Not in light of the valid concerns we have she has stolen others’ work as well as my own (seeing as how the whisper was anonymous, and thus she’d never have known it was mine and I’d see it, being someone who roleplays with and follows her). Though she promises to start over with 100% her own work, I cannot let this go. It caused me more pain that I can convey to have seen my own work—twice—be put up on her blog without my permission or a credit.

I’m not a cruel person. I am not someone who will publicly call another out just for the sake of doing so. But this was a violation of my own, personal work and we have reason to believe (and messages to back up this claim, should we need to) that I am not the only person whose words might have been used without their knowledge. So I am publishing this with a heavy and guilty heart, not to put her on the spot as I would rather not do, but to let others know that this has taken place. She would like to keep roleplaying here, but she also stated in messages to tasteofhiddles (my best friend and one of the people who has defended me in this whole fiasco) that she doesn’t want any of her followers to find out what she has done.

I simply feel that everyone who might want to roleplay with her has the right to know she has done this, and decide for themselves what they’d like to do.

For those that have been following me for a while, not only on my Magnus Martinsson blog but on my Henry V blog, this would ring very familiar to you. I tried very hard to try and keep this under wraps, thinking I was the only victim of this mun, and I hate to bring it up again because - as some of you might know - it actually drew me to a nervous breakdown.

Then she did finally confess to having stolen before, and she swears she will never do so again and wants a clean slate.

As weak it is to point the finger, and admit this… that was me. She stole work from me, ideas, formatting (her ‘threads’ page information is mine), and when I tried to tell her that I didn’t appreciate her doing this, that I wished her not to do it, she did the same thing, tweaked words but didn’t change anything. I really thought that when she deleted her Magnus and Henry blog it would be over, but she’s created more blogs and as I see now… has hurt more people.

No matter what you say, this is still plagerism, I know that the internet isn’t a place to claim sources because anything can be taken, but when you show someone you trust, a friend, and they claim innocence or refuse to admit that anything is wrong, then it hurts all the more, and I am so terribly sorry that I got messages this morning informing me ‘She’s done it again’. I don’t need this drama, I don’t need to see this on my dash or see people get hurt because of this mun. But people are getting hurt, and I don’t care if you send me hate anon saying it’s not her fault, it is her fault, she’s done this again and again, she knows the consequences and knows it hurts people, and yet nothing is done, people keep roleplaying and writing with her oblivious to what she does to people. I’m so sorry that it came to this, and I hope this is resolved.

[Update]

Okay, so a few of you may remember this post going around my dash, and… You know, I thought it was over, I thought the issue was done, and I would have nothing to do with it again.

I had said that I no longer wished to involve myself in the drama that is created on the roleplays, however hard it may be to keep all of this inside, to not want to bother anyone with these issues anymore - because some people might not care, and I somehow think that this must be my fault somehow, because it keeps happening to me.

I must be doing something wrong.

But it’s harder to live with the knowledge that the last time I didn’t say anything, tomsdarling - a wonderful roleplayer and writer - got hurt because of it as well.

So here goes, and I’m sorry if I’m brining this up again and it distresses you, and you want to unfollow me, that’s understandable, I just don’t want anyone else to get hurt anymore by this roleplayer.

she came back.

I’ve been roleplaying Henry V, on the-warrior-king blog since the second friday of the Hollow Crown: Henry IV: Part 1 aired. I’ve developed Henry, and he’s family, and though I don’t really have many roleplays with him anymore, he’s everything to me.

I saw a new rolelay blog for Henry show up, and like I always do, I wanted to go and wish them luck. Because Henry V is a difficult character to roleplay and be a part of, and then… I saw this…

And for anyone that roleplays with me, might find it familiar. This is mine:

It’s the same gif, the same sort of words, and… I knew it was her, again.

I don’t… know if anyone will really care that I’m brining this up again, or if anything will be done. I just wanted to write this, and let people know that thewingofthenine aka kinghenryplantagenet, is still the same person that she was when she plagerised my character.

She’s not only done this to me, but to tomsdarling, and I want people to be aware of it, and I want people to KNOW.

Because the feeling that this is, when you’ve been betrayed like this, is like nothing else in the world.

I’m not looking to vilify her, or for people to send mean messages to her, I just want people to know, and I want them to be wary, and prepared, and I don’t… I don’t want anyone else to get hurt.

Thank you, again, and I’m sorry that I’m brining this up again.
