Hi im daveid warbler and I'm your newly elected council member. I don't know how I got this position and I'm a pretty bad wizard but I'll do my best to be a good council member anyway.
I like sports but none in particular and I can't remember all the rules. My favorite food is hamburgers.
I don't like necromancy it just kinda freaks me out man. Nothing against you guys though your pretty chill.
I'm 32
(OOC: Hi I'm Lynn! If you have any ooc questions please check out my main blog Tentakilly! I won't tolerate any form of hate speech or harassment either btw. Please remember this is a silly wizard roleplay blog for a silly character. Have a good day/night! :] )
Everyone knows the proper way is to freeze them in time! All the other ones have consequences that out way the mind boggling of being unfrozen(from time)!
Sorry I haven't been back in a while. Council duties got me. I have some updates though.
Sal has named her newish familiar(a crow) Crowbert. He's very loved and hasn't been eaten by Mimi yet.
Speaking of Mimi, she's been acting odd for a mimic her size(small) lately and I took her to get checked out and she's just fat. I don't know where she's getting the food cause I feed her a standard diet. Current suspect is my beloved apprentice.
I helped successfully pass a law regarding enchantments on jewelry and clothing. Hopefully this helps reduce accidental and purposeful curses.
I learned a new spell. Unfortunately it's not anything cool it's just mage hand. I'm not a particularly good wizard if you couldn't tell.
Sal has figured out my bedroom closet is haunted and now refuses to come into my room unless I'm also in there.
My "tower" is actually beginning to grow from a cabin. It now has a second story. I've yet to explore it though. I'm scared to see what's up there cause it sounds like a wyvern has moved in up there. It sounds pretty young though so it shouldn't be to much of a problem.
Anyways that's all for now. Hopefully I can post more soon
S'cuse me, just here to fire some rent lowering shots.
↓ Why SCP Doesn't Want Dr. Bright Anymore ↓
The Explanation:
Dr. Jack Bright is the author's self-insert, also known as TheDuckman/AdminBright. This person ended up using the character & their popularity/power as his author to elicit nudes from others, such as SCP/Bright fans and minors. This would also involve having these people wear the amulet (SCP-963) to fulfill their possession kink.
Right now, the SCP wiki no longer actively uses Dr. Bright, & wants to distance themselves from it. Instead, an official rewrite, Dr. Elias Shaw (by @daisybellejpeg), is being worked on to replace said character.
The Evidence:
- Images from chatrooms & comments (will need to scroll down)
- Daisybellejpeg's doc on Theduckman
- Allegations from another victim
What Can Be Done Regarding This In Fandom?:
- You can inform others, let others know not to use the character and especially why.
- You can use a rewrite, such as Dr. Shaw, or create your own. Just don't simply rename and let every other detail alone. SCP is about creativity. Daisy has outlined some guidelines for making rewrites.
Dr. Myriad, my rewrite (shown above with the gun) can also be read about on this blog & used with some understanding and permission.
- Learning to distance yourself from said character, piece by piece, is always a good start. Name, then design, then anomaly, however you want to take it. But the important part is letting go of Dr. Bright.
What SHOULDN'T Be Done Regarding This In Fandom?:
- Do not simply rename Dr. Bright to Dr. Shaw & be done with it. Dr. Shaw has his own backstory, his own anomaly, and is an entirely different character. Changing nothing but the name defeats the whole purpose.
- Simply saying "I don't support the author" and continuing to use the self insert that baited people into being abused is not a solution, and in fact also makes you a target.
- Do not continue to use the amulet (SCP-963). It was used multiple times for fetish reasons. You can easily change it to something else that isn't a trigger for several victims.
- I should not have to outline why shipping an abuser's self insert with their victim's character is wrong.
Remember that just because someone is no longer publicly active in fandom spaces does not mean they cannot benefit from their planted roots. They have been banned from cons, have an active storefront still (which should be reported if you see them as a vendor) and victims that were not just curated online.
Protect yourselves & don't make yourself another target. As someone who used to love the character, let Dr. Bright die, dammit.
As an extra note, I do not condone harassment. I am posting this on my own blog, & this may spread through word of mouth or tags, but this is my space to do what I want. This is simply for those who wish to learn. Some people may have a hard time of letting go of a character, whether by fictive or personal attachment, but it's important not to villainize & harass, rather encourage on the process of letting go.
Look into how many apprentices a given mage is taking on at once, and how often they take on a new student. Ideally you want a teacher who only takes on one or two students every few years
For that matter, look into any mages who've studied under them, make sure they came out worth their salt.
MAKE SURE THEY HAVE AT LEAST SOME REVERENCE FOR LOCAL MAGIC AUTHORITIES, EVEN IF THEY/YOU ARE AN "EVIL WIZARD." An evil wizard ignores the law, but a GOOD evil wizard abuses the law.
Whoever figured out how to cast "turn three-dimensional object into four-dimensional object" and decided it would be funny to add "but only if someone is sewing leather", how about you stop that. Going like "ahahaha wouldn't it be fucked up if you used a needle to puncture material but one side of the hole is in a completely different location than the other end, so you never know where the needle will come out"
Yes it fucking is. Now how about you turn that shit off and put the laws of physics back exactly how you found them before I get you, you unfunny fuckweasel.
