i don't like to yuck people's yum but i have to say that my least favorite thing to come from the current state of Artists on the Internet is the idea of a sketchbook as something nice and pretty and shareable. like i love me a notebook full of gorgeous art don't get me wrong but that is NOT what a sketchbook is. a sketchbook is my friend who i carry around everywhere like a purse chihuahua. it is the physical manifestation of my notes app. it is the container into which i wring my brain out. it is my therapist. and most of all it is filled with absolutely terrible sketches that should never see the light of day.
this post is making the rounds again and the amount of people saying that the pretty sketchbooks phenomenon ruined sketchbooks for them is HEARTBREAKING and i stand by my opinion that sketchbooks should be like a jar you put your OCs in. and then you shake them around in there. that's what they're for
i am not joking we need to force teach cooking in schools. like. it is an essential thing for survival. do you know how easy it is to make things if you know even the bare bones shit about how cooking works. we need to teach teenagers how far you can take an onion and some other veggies it’’s sad that people grow up not knowing how to prepare literally anything. and i’m not talking about oh this home ed class taught me how to make chicken nuggets at home i’m talking about learning the balancing of sweetness and acidity and saltiness and bitterness and shit like that and techniques and oil temperatures and how meats cook. it needs to be taught because it’s literally not even that difficult and it matters so much
i truly believe that knowing how to cook is a basic survival concept and the fact that so many people can’t even make simple dishes is depressing as hell this is the sorta thing that should be taught at a young age. being able to take the ingredients you have around your home and turn them into a meal is like, essential and will make life so much better. you don’t need to be a high end chef you just need to understand some things that can be easily taught… but then again maybe the education system is playing a roll against this and ultimately they want you to grow up to rely on mcdonalds for dinner. i don’t know. please learn how to cook for yourself if you’re able. i’m not asking you to hunt for specific ingredients to make some expensive youtuber’s “best” recipe but if you know the basics of cooking you can do a lot with cheap canned ingredients. cooking can be affordable i promise you just need to learn how to make do with what you can get

again definitely not a comprehensive list but it touches on most of the basics
I honestly recommend cookbooks for beginner cooks (they cost more than internet recipes, but you can get them used without too much agony.
Internet recipes are great, but they vary widely in explanation quality, which is fine if you know most of the techniques, but less so if you’re still learning. There’s an extra level of overall organization in edited cookbooks that I take for granted but that can be a lot of help if you’re starting out.
There’s a whole genre of cookbooks that are “for teens” or “for college students” which are specifically focused on new cooks without too many tools. Don’t be embarrassed to get one even if you are no longer a teen or a student. They’re just really useful.
My favourite is “Clueless in the Kitchen” by Evelyn Raab. It leads with a whole section on cooking and kitchen maintenence and it gives the recipes with minimal spices but with instructions about how to add or alter spices in a recipe, so you don’t get pummelled with huge numbers of herbs and spices to buy all at once. This copy is $4.
I once won a giveaway for a digital copy of Cooking Is Terrible by Mischa Fletcher, so I feel kind of obliged to try and convince people to buy a copy, but honestly it’s fun to read even if you’re not using it for its intended purpose: learning how to make a decently nutritious meal for not a lot of time, energy, or money.
Chinese cooking demystified for all y'all diasporic folks whose parents didn’t teach you to cook the food they grew up with out of [their reasons] or transracially-adopted-Chinese kids or anyone who likes Chinese food as it is cooked in China . American expat Chris does most of the talking in the early videos while native Chinese Steph has been doing way more talking in recent episodes as she got more comfortable with it. Also their schnauzer is adorable. Plus interviews with Steph’s parents and in the kitchen videos of their favorite local restaurants. IIRC They’re located in Hubei but they cook across the vastness of the Chinese culinary landscape.

so what do we suppose the Doctor even did with the Master’s body immediately after he died. how long do we think he just held him like that, sobbing and screaming on the floor, before falling into silence and rocking back, forth, back, forth. do we think the Doctor held their heads together, hoping to sense something. any flicker. any sign. any evidence of a trick, anything to dispel the reality of the cold weight in his arms. do we think Martha and Jack tried to move him, or just waited and watched as he fervently mourned the man that had tortured them and their loved ones and planet for a year. do we think the Doctor eventually stood with a face as flat as a corpse’s, the body dangling in his arms, an orange-tinted bloodstain drying on his jacket, and walked out of that room like a man possessed- no emotion, no reaction to anything at all. did he think of Torvic when he laid the body on that pyre. did he think of anything at all but the fire and the shape of his face as it melted and charred. did he think of Death as his best friend burned.
'We all have to be Daleks sometimes,' he muttered, looking down at his mud-caked shoes. 'It's just a matter of knowing when you really don't have any choice.'
the crazy thing about doctor who is that it really is the best show ever for 30 seconds at a time. you never know when those 30 seconds will be. sometimes they happen multiple times in a single episode and sometimes you wait years and years and years. and the best part is those 30 seconds are surrounded by the worst show ever, which is also doctor who
hey all. i’m devastated to have to do this, but after multiple direct attempts to communicate my boundaries and my desire to be left alone, i have no choice but to make this full public post in the hope of obtaining peace.
it goes without saying, but despite the severity of this post and the discomfort and pain this experience has caused to me and others, i do not under any circumstance want to see that pain and discomfort forwarded; do not harass or approach this person at all.
for the last three years, user nokk0 (recently renamed to verostruck on discord) has been a serial thief of my work. this includes 1:1 traces of my art, complete recreations of my tumblr posts, lifting my character design elements (including word-for-word recreations of my character lore), copying of my personal presentation online, and continuing to seek my work on alternative social medias after a tumblr block.
on top of this, she is an incredibly prolific art-tracer who has not only been stealing my work, but the work of at least half a dozen other artists for the entire duration of her time in the kirby OC tumblr community
since february this year (2026), after i pulled her up on tracing one of my comics and once again requested that she stop copying my work, she has been block evading me on tumblr and joining discord servers i am in in order to continue copying my work, as well as to find and trace gift art drawn for me by my friends. while i have shouldered my own discomfort at her behaviour for many years, this is a line i cannot sit back and watch be crossed.
i will keep this as brief as possible, but because of the sheer length of time this has been going on and volume of stolen content, there’s a lot to cover. be advised that even this does not include everything. this experience has been a gradual boiling pot of pain and dehumanisation for me, watching my work and my character be stolen repeatedly and increasingly over years, while someone else proudly claimed it as their own within my own community spaces.
i will predominantly be addressing theft of my own work and crossing of my stated boundaries. aside from one single case- which i received explicit permission to include- i will NOT be directly addressing any of the art she has copied from other artists.
however, while collecting evidence of the theft that affected me, i saw traced artwork belonging to multiple mutuals of mine, and a handful of artists i do not know personally.
if you are or have been an artist in the kirby or kirby OC community between 2024-2026, you may also find your work has been copied. none of the copied works i observed on Nokk0’s blog were ever credited to their original artist.
i would also like to acknowledge up front that while it is incredibly rude to treat another artist as a free resource, an amount of inspiration, copying, and even tracing of other artists' work is completely understandable, especially in beginner artists. just make sure you credit them directly with a link to their original work, and stop referencing them if they request you stop. i understand that, especially in a fandom, you absolutely cannot expect to own any broad idea, theme, or story beat. i understand that admiration and inspiration can often manifest itself a lot like copying until the artist finds their creative feet, and that an artist’s biggest fans can also be their biggest copiers.
the problem here is not that inspiration was taken or even that tracing occurred. the problem is that Nokk0 has not only traced or referenced almost every art piece she has ever posted and claimed full credit, but that she continued to do this behaviour with me in particular after i have laid out my boundaries and told her multiple times to stop.
it is clear to me that Nokk0 understands this behaviour is wrong, and yet she continues to do it.
a summary of the following evidence will follow.
1:1 copies of my art, art gifted to me, or my posts
timeline of events including my direct communication with Nokk0 informing her multiple times that i was not okay with this level of copying
evidence that despite unmistakeably clear communication of my boundaries, Nokk0 continues to trace from me and block evades to continue copying my work
evidence of Nokk0 duplicating every element of my character design, storytelling, and even my social media layouts
☆ evidence of tracing & copying art, block evasion, and timeline of events from 2024-2026
i would like to precede this by noting that Nokk0 is a traditional-medium exclusive artist. this means that it is likely most “tracing” occurred via the eyeballing method. this form of referencing is often totally okay when you are using free-use stock images, but can quickly become theft when you are using another artist’s creative work, especially uncredited and claiming it as your own. i have said many times- both on my blog and to Nokk0 directly- that i personally am not okay with my work being treated as free uncredited reference material, after which she continued to do it for a span of years.
in many cases Nokk0 also makes clear attempts to obscure the similarities to the work she is copying by flipping all or parts of the work horizontally, frankensteining multiple different art pieces together, or replacing a character with another (ie: an oc into a canon character, Meta Knight into Galacta Knight, etc). nonetheless, the derivative nature of these art pieces is so quickly recognisable that i and others have immediately clocked not only that the work was based stylistically on mine, but which exact work of mine was copied and where.
once again, i will be focusing on only infringement on my content and crossing of my own boundaries. i do not know the boundaries of other artists whose work has been copied, and i won’t speak for them.
evidence of Nokk0’s serial tracing of my artwork dates over three years, to early 2024. there is no content on her blog prior to this timeframe, and in fact her first published work is fanart for my OC.
around this time, Nokk0 also spent a lot of time in my tumblr inbox, reassurance seeking about exactly how much of my work she was allowed to copy. i told her, repeatedly, that while i was flattered to be an inspiration i was not okay with comprehensive or 1:1 recreations of my work.
i’m including only excerpts, but these asks can be publicly found on my blog. the excerpts below come from here specifically, where the entire ask response and additional comments can be read in full.
> the only thing i ask (and i'll clarify that i do not think this is what you are doing at all, what you suggested is fine!) is that folks don't take or use a 1:1 copy of everything in entirety of what i'm doing. designs, lore, storytelling quirks, etc etc, all at once.
> the corrupted signature is just one part of my story, and many folks are already using that idea! it's only plagiarism when it's many parts copied all together in my opinion.
at this time, in May 2024, i believed this was clear enough.
this interaction was before i had observed any tracing. i thought that what Nokk0 was interested in doing was writing a story using one of my general headcanons and the idea of a falling star based character- definitely not things i can claim ownership over.
however, for the next year and a half, Nokk0 proceeded to trace or reference dozens of my works and lift design/lore elements from my OC for her own. i have presented a select few below in chronological order.
finally, in early January 2026, Nokk0 posted a comic that included panels copied from mine. she posted this in a public kirby oc discord server we share, Stargate.
not only are the layouts and panel compositions lifted from my comic, the speech bubbles and specific unique dialogue style i use for Morpho and the comic’s narrative are being directly copied, with Nokk0’s own character inserted in my character’s place.
on good faith, i assumed that Nokk0 did not mean harm by this. i understand that it can be hard to know where the line between inspiration and copying lies, and that every artist can have a different boundary on this topic.
i replied to her in the Stargate server, hoping to restate my boundaries clearly and without room for misunderstanding. i remained respectful, requesting only that she change her behaviour regarding my work moving forward and hoping she would do so once she understood how it made me feel. [transcript below, screenshot here]
> hi Nokk0!! i'm well aware you and others have been referencing my work for a while. despite previously stating that i don't like people doing so, i've been very patient and polite about it these past few years, because i understand some folks are still growing as artists and discovering their own footing! i also know that it's not being done with ill intent or maliciousness, and is predominantly coming from a place of inspiration or admiration.
> however this is a panel by panel eyeball of my comic, inclusive of panel compositions and themes, right down to the dialogue-style. the comet panel is copied from another comic of mine, which was giftart for a friend. i don't like this kind of theft or inspiration, so i would rather you don't copy my work in this way!
> i've actually been planning for months to make a public announcement about this to clarify my boundaries on this kind of thing, because it is being so pervasively experienced by myself and other members of this community. i deeply appreciate that folks are inspired by my art, but people have been tracing, colour-picking, and stealing my creative work for the two years i've been in this community, and- as you can imagine!- it makes me deeply uncomfortable and upset to have my work treated this way.
unfortunately, this was not the case. when Nokk0 still continued to post traced art of mine into February, i blocked her on tumblr.
within the month she changed her name on discord to be more reminiscent of my character’s name. she edited her online presentation to match mine- such as lifting large amounts of text and stylisation directly from my artfight and tumblr masterposts.
within another month she had joined a second discord server i co-moderate in order to continue tracing my artwork, as well as to search for gift art drawn by my friends to also trace and insert her character into.
to this day she continues to copy and reference my artwork- for tracing, compositions, ideas, and dialogues. she continues to make complete recreations of whole entire posts, and to steal my character’s storywork and flavour text 1:1. with every new update i make on my own tumblr, she changes her character’s lore to match anything newly revealed in mine.
she also continues to trace and copy the work of other artists in the kirby oc community.
all of the following examples of her work are dated after i once again asked her to stop copying my work (January 7th 2026), and after i blocked her on tumblr. it includes referencing images that i did not post until after i blocked Nokk0, which suggests she block evaded to find them.
after being blocked by me on tumblr, Nokk0 joined the Kirby OC Tournament (KOCT) discord server, which i co-moderate and have a full character page for starstruck in, on 28 March 2026.
within days she was posting copies of work that i had only ever posted on that server, and which could be found nowhere else.
additionally, she began copying gift-art done for me by friends. the below example is an art piece posted by my friend Aseuki (included with permission) of our two ocs- Phemus and starstruck- playing together.
this art piece was posted only in the KOCT server where it is tagged with starstruck’s full name and on Aseuki’s offsite toyhouse, and never on tumblr.
this was the first time i noticed Nokk0 copying gift art made for me by others, but since then i have discovered numerous other examples of her copying gift art and replacing starstruck with one of her own characters. as this makes it clear that the issue of her tracking my online activity no longer affects only me, and is in fact directly impacting people who did me the kindness of drawing a gift for me, i resolved to make this post in June 2026.
to the other artists whose gift art for me she copied in this way, i am deeply sorry.
☆ evidence of character theft, 2024-2026
in addition to tracing artwork and copying posts, Nokk0 has stolen almost every aspect of my singular oc, starstruck dee, scraping my work with near 100% coverage. my visual design work, storytelling work, and direct text have all been copied by her.
pictured: 1) an excerpt from my 2024 reference sheet for starstruck dee, my only published kirby oc, who has remained broadly unchanged since her debut.
throughout 2024-2025, when we were both active in the OC tourney, she made several sona drawings that were color-picked from and traced over starstruck, including traces of gift art of starstruck by others. this character was so similar in design to starstruck that many folks assumed that it was starstruck until i told them otherwise.
in late 2025 and through to 2026, she has progressively redesigned her primary OC Fal to increasingly closely resemble starstruck.
in the second design, Nokk0 copies only starstruck’s emotive cheek stars/constellations, but makes them rainbow as a point of difference. i knew this was copied from me, but tolerated it in the hope she would grow out of it eventually.
by the third design, finalised in february 2026 after i spoke to and blocked her, multiple iconic design elements from starstruck have been copied exactly. her blue eyes with a pink heart at the bottom and a white pupil, her golden star-buckle design (positioned in the centre of a collar that now recalls its location on her bow and used to hide a star-shaped scar), her blush and pink round cheeks covered in freckles, the ‘peak’ of the heart shaped marking in the centre of her forehead, and her facial stylisation/silhouette. the emotive cheek stars are now an identical rendition of starstruck’s; white with a glowing pink border. a huge proportion of Nokk0’s art of Fal in this redesign has his head traced from artwork of starstruck.
since i spoke to her in January 2026, this behaviour has seemed to only escalate. after blocking her in February 2026, there have been countless examples of her continuing to copy my work for Fal and her newly debuted OC, G.
in fact, almost every fact she has posted about any of her characters first appeared in my work for starstruck.
to save time here i will use paraphrased text summaries of a selection (not all) of the traits that she copied from my work, but you can find the original copies listed on nokk0's toyhouse [backup screenshot], artfight [backup screenshot, backup screenshot], and many character references and posts on her blog.
as with my other evidence, this is merely a selection of all the work that was stolen.
in many cases Nokk0 copies whole backstories, texts, and design elements from my work-
and portrays them in exactly the same way that i do-
and religiously copies smaller details from my blog, such as songs i posted from my OC playlists, my masterpost layouts, and various presentations of my work across both tumblr and artfight.
to this day, you can find an excerpt from my masterpost, almost entirely unedited, copied onto hers.
this last june she even went so far as to trace a previous pride month artwork of my character (who is a sona, representing my own identities) while copying the exact identities- aroace, xenogender, polyam qpr, a sexless character who does not understand the social structure of romance but none the less is happily able to date multiple people- onto her own OC. identities her character only developed after i spoke publicly about my own identity and pronouns.
☆ conclusion
Nokk0’s pattern of behaviour is no longer simple inspiration, or even art theft.
she has followed me closely for over three years, copying almost every creative piece i have ever posted in this community, from my art to my designs, my lore to my blog layouts, even my rules and my content warnings. the additional copying of my othered experience as an autistic and chronically disabled adult- an experience that i portrayed on my oc starstruck with deep intentionality- and the copying of my queer identities, was truly unspeakably uncomfortable.
to treat not only ALL of my creative work, but also my own lived and experienced identity, as though it is stock reference material is horrifically dehumanising and creepy. tracking my art, and my friend’s art, through servers i am in is wilful and intentional block evasion, and purposeful disrespect of my plainly stated boundaries.
as i have already tried multiple times and failed to encourage her to change her behaviour and respect the wishes of others around her, i do not believe that any amount of discussion with Nokk0 individually will change these habits. because of the extraordinary depths of the theft and total lack of original input from her, i no longer believe there is any way for Nokk0 to revitalise her existing characters or her existing work into anything original.
not only has this been unsettling and agonising to me personally, but Nokk0’s behaviour is to the detriment of this creative community. once i began work on this post, i learned that i am far from the only person being affected.
i must speak out. for myself, for my friends whose work was stolen simply because it contained my character. and i must speak out to protect the many other artists in this community Nokk0 has stolen from while proudly claiming all the praise for work that has never been her own.
finally going to actually watch the infamous fabled and fan favourite show steven universe. rare moment of More Than Just One Person in my system wanting to watch the same show so I'm veeery excited. smiles. it's awesome rock women time
post-steven update. I really like this show. sunny (sweetie pea cosy grandpa with the ponytail) REALLY likes pearl to the surprise of absolutely nobody. not sure who my fave is yet... I think francis (far left cosy grandpa) is a lot like connie BUT they're not too sure about that. we'll have to see.... GOOD SHOW. GOOD TIMES. GOOD NIGHT
some attempt to sort ancient gallifrey into an easy resource
look, ancient gallifrey is complicated and makes no sense, and sometimes you literally cannot make things line up. but here's my best stab at it post-pythia. sources i've read for this: time's crucible, omega (audio), lungbarrow, lungbarrow by loomlight, the infinity doctors, the scrolls of rassilon, the show, plus some tardis.wiki scrolling. this is intended to be short and readable i have a lot more thoughts and know a lot more about it. obviously my word is not gospel
the triumvirate:
rassilon: musician, politician, military commander, engineer, biologist, architect, academic. what can't this guy do. he has an unnamed wife and a stillborn daughter
omega: of the house of arca. solar engineer. married to patience. opposed to rassilon's military takeover of gallifrey, but did nothing about it. rassilon called him a democrat. was originally called peylix but pitched his time travel theory mid exam and failed it so badly he got a grade so low he was the first to ever get it (omega)
the other: the timeless child grown up; the source of regeneration. rassilon's advisor/servant. generally hooded. raised by tecteun. has a lot of otherworldly powers. rassilon considers them a friend but also says he doesn't know anything about them and also rassilon appears to be afraid of them. the hand of omega stalks them for some reason. kills themselves via loom, eventually being reloomed as the doctor. potentially the child of leela and andred
presidents:
urizen (had a lot of god-themed baggage, subject to a coup)
pandak (during the vampire wars, overthrown by rassilon)
rassilon (ruled for just under a thousand years before being put in the death zone in that tower)
politicians:
omega
temus: the only one of pandak's high council to attempt to shoot back. was killed.
zabor: survivor of pandak's high council post-coup. sent off to the south of gallifrey
lady norin: survivor of pandak's high council post-coup. sent off to the south of gallifrey
mayeron: survivor of pandak's high council post-coup. sent off to the south of gallifrey
military:
we know rassilon seemed to be running the thing
gimel: a general and very very close to rassilon, appears to have been taking orders directly from him. really doesn't like thremix. had a lot of people including omega watched. was eventually killed off by rassilon in a coup attempt
(solar) engineers:
rassilon
omega
jelen: worked under rassilon directly. had access to the details of the sash of rassilon as was able to manipulate the material into a forcefield for an attempted coup. was killed during said coup by rassilon
vandekirian: omega's assistant, but potentially given to omega by rassilon as people theorised that vandekirian was rassilon's plant to kill omega
artron: artron energy is named after him. as this comes from the time vortex and the eye of harmony and is in tardises etc this makes sense for him to be an engineer. however as he apparently started experimenting with healing maybe he was booted over to the biologists side...?
biologists:
tecteun: the technolodger. tortured the timeless child with looms to get regeneration energy. was presumably the first to regenerate. although in other accounts this is rassilon
rassilon: worked on looms, transforming them from tecteun's regeneration energy stealing machines into the way of creating new time lords
thremix: an obscure biologist not taken seriously by the rest of gallifrey's biology community. created the "immortality disease", as per the scrolls of rassilon, which are probably fictionalised in universe anyway, but probably had something to do with regeneration anyway. was apparently killed by gimel before gaining the ability to regenerate, but can definitely regenerate in lungbarrow by loomlight, so.
artron: maybe
others:
patience: of the house of blyledge. omega's wife. the other's wife, after omega's death. had thirteen children with the other. grandmother to susan. her family was slaughtered on order of the technolodger (tecteun). was having an affair with the other while married to omega, which omega seems weirdly chill about. omega doesn't think she loved him. either pulled off having thirteen children and a grandchild in less than 10 years (from omega's death to the other's suicide) or omega didn't notice her getting pregnant thirteen times OR he noticed and was fine with it for whatever reason. tutored the other
eutenoyar: related to the founding in some way. has a cult.
apeiron: related to the founding in some way. has a cult.
the red handed jackal: a yssgaroth/vampire who may or may not be a past life of the other. i cannot parse how this makes sense so just roll with it. was (consensually) killed by the other as part of a ritual also involving rassilon, omega, and thremix in order to create a concrete start to the vampire wars
