Cullen - I See the Light

“All those days chasing down a daydream All those years living in a blur All that time never truly seeing Things, the way they were

Now she’s here shining in the starlight Now she’s here suddenly I know If she’s here it’s crystal clear I’m where I’m meant to go”

Iron Bull - Something There

“She glanced this way, I thought I saw And when we touched, she didn’t shudder at my paw No, it can’t be, I’ll just ignore But then she’s never looked at me that way before

New, and a bit alarming Who’d have ever thought that this could be? True, that he’s no Prince Charming But there’s something in him that I simply didn’t see”

Solas - Once Upon a Dream

“I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream I know you, that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam And I know it’s true that visions are seldom all they seem But if I know you, I know what you’ll do You’ll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream

But if I know you, I know what you’ll do You’ll love me at once The way you did once upon a dream”

Josephine - Bella Notte

“Oh, this is the night, it’s a beautiful night And we call it bella notte Look at the skies, they have stars in their eyes On this lovely bella note

Side by side with your loved one You’ll find enchantment here The night will weave its magic spell When the one you love is near

Oh, this is the night and the heavens are right On this lovely bella notte”

Cassandra - A Whole New World

“A whole new world A hundred thousand things to see I’m like a shooting star I’ve come so far I can’t go back to where I used to be

A whole new world  With new horizons to pursue I’ll chase them anywhere There’s time to spare Let me share this whole new world with you”

Dorian - Love Will Find a Way

“I was so afraid, now I realize Love is never wrong and so it never dies There’s a perfect world shining in your eyes

And if only they could feel it too The happiness I feel with you

They’d know love will find a way Anywhere we go, we’re home If we are there together Like dark turning into day Somehow we’ll come through Now that I’ve found you Love will find a way I know love will find a way”

Sera -  Un Poco Loco

“You make me Un poco loco Un poquititito loco The way you keep me guessing I’m nodding and I’m yessing I’ll count it as a blessing That I’m only Un poco loco

The loco that you make me It is just un poco crazy The sense that you’re not making The liberties you’re taking Leaves my cabeza shaking You are just Un poco loco”

Blackwall - Can You feel The Love Tonight

“Can you feel the love tonight? The peace the evening brings The world, for once, in perfect harmony With all its living things So many things to tell her But how to make her see The truth about my past? Impossible She’d turn away from me”

Hey y’all, goodbye (for now)

I suppose that those of you that still read my stuff may have seen this coming due to lack of posts from me, but I just want to say real quick, it’s not because anyone is pushing me away. I’m not receiving toxic messages or anything, I say that because so many in the fandom have already left because of those same reasons.

If I’m honest, my hearts just not in this blog anymore, or reader inserts. I don’t have a lot of time to write due to my job so when I do have time to write, I’ve decided I would prefer to stick to my own projects versus stuff I honestly don’t feel has much creativity for me anymore. I do plan on starting a blog that has my own personal writing blurgs that are not based on any fandoms, but I’m not sure I will until I feel more confident that what I write won’t get stolen (since it’s my own work that’s not part of a fandom, I feel very protective of it). If and when I do, I will do my best to let you guys know. Sorry if this is dramatic. Not trying to be.

I do have one other story I’ll be posting that I wrote last week that was more of a wet dream than anything. Be on the lookout for that.

I had fun while I was here, guys. Take it easy. :)

[chaoticpersonal]

So I just read up on some copyright laws and found out fanart and fanfic are technically illegal. Now I’m laughing at the thought of someone getting sued in court for writing smut about their favorite character 😂

[gefionne]

THIS IS NOT TRUE!!!!!

Fanworks are not illegal. Most all fanart and fanfic are “transformative works,” which fall under the protection of Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Law, the statute of fair use. Fair Use allows you to use sections and elements of copyrighted material to critique, expound on, or create using that material as long as you’re creating something new. You can read about fair use here: https://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/fair-use/what-is-fair-use/. And learn about how to decide if something is fair use using this simple guide of the four factors of fair use: https://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/fair-use/four-factors/.

Why is AO3 built by the Organization for TRANSFORMATIVE WORKS???? Because it stands by fair use and creators of new, unique fanworks.

FANWORK IS NOT ILLEGAL. READ ACTUAL COPYRIGHT LAW.

[dreverybodyilovedies]

Also know your fandom history Anne Rice used to literally sue our asses over this shit which is why old school LJ fanauthors used to always have the “don’t own not mine just playing” disclaimers on their shit

[jocarthage]

fwiw, I wrote my thesis on this and fic is neither illegal nor illegal – it’s a legal grey zone that has never been tested in any court (in the US, unless there’s an explicit law about something, we function in a common law system, meaning most of the rule of law in our country is a mish-mash of court precedents, differing and debating between jurisdictions, like this this case). There has never been a lawsuit by the copyright holder of a commercial, fictional work, against someone producing a non-commercial, derivative fictional work; thus, there is no case law about fanfic and we’re all living in the grey zone. There have been a few lawsuits from the copyright owners of commercial, fictional work against commercial, fictional derivative work; one lawsuit from the copyright owners of commercial, fictional work against a commercial, non-fictional derivative work. But the fanwork we all make every day *may* be protected under fair use; fair use is the right the hire a lawyer, being an affirmative defense, and is rarely tested. The other affirmative defense folks might be familiar with is self-defense in the case of a murder – you say ‘yes, your honor, I did murder him, but it’s ok for x, y, z, reasons.’ Then the trial is about deciding if x, y, and z, reasons are good enough, not if you did the murder (since you had to admit it to use the affirmative defense). Using fair use is like saying, ‘yes, I did infringe on their copyright, but I believe it was acceptable’ and then you have to pay lawyers about it. I believe that fair use for non-commercial works should be assumed, and the burden should be on the copyright holder to prove harm and infringement, rather than on the non-commercial producer to prove they are covered by fair use. But, given that there’s no case law, and no explicit laws, tons of high-powered lawyers for commercial content producers like to make stuff up, like to send scary cease and desist letters, like to threaten fans who don’t have the money to fight back. Most major content producers have decided that terrorizing their fans is Bad Business Practice and they’ve stopped calling us all pirates and thieves and are instead madly catering to our whims (often, not always); but that’s a marketing trend, not an indication of any actual change in the status of fan works. If you’re interested in supporting folks working to change copyright law or protect fans within it, the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Organization for Transformative Works are excellent places to spend a bit of money, if you’re flush. Our current copyright system isn’t fulfilling its constitutional mandate to encourage the arts and sciences, since some of the most amazing creative work in both spaces is happening in exactly the grey zones we all operate in, which is not how it used to be and not how it should be. </copyright-soapbox>

[monanotlisa]

The thing about law, it’s not some Black Box you push Facts in, and you get a  Decision out – it follows certain rules that you can easily study and go over yourself. 

Common law countries like the US make this more difficult through the vagaries of a system based on precedent and pontification by judges; civil law countries make this more difficult through judges being biased and on power-trips and refusing to read statutory law in the abstract way it is meant to be read, that is: applied to real life at this moment in time, not in their heads, or a distant past.

(Ya, judges. Can’t live with them; can’t live without ‘em.)

Either way, worry not about your fanfic if you do it the classic way, i.e. if you don’t sell it. There’s a longer reasoning behind that, but I’d consider that the lynchpin reason.

[tbqtalks]

Speaking as one who was affected by the Anne Rice thing when it happened - which was WELL before LJ was a gleam in a Russian bot’s eye - I’d like to clarify that it never got as far as a court of law. She had her lawyer send Cease & Desist orders out to various high-profile members of the fanfic side of fandom. Some of those C&Ds implicated the private businesses of the people involved. Because all of us were poor, we didn’t challenge the C&Ds. Instead we took our stuff off of the websites they knew about and hid the fic away.

Also to be clear: we had warnings on our fic WELL before that (edited to add: I mean the “not mine, no profit made” type warnings). We did that as common courtesy in the fanfic world at the time. And long as I’m going down memory lane and spilling tea along the way, I’m gonna point out that many of us who got those C&Ds also worked hand in hand with Anne, her publisher, and her family business to promote her books and business dealings purely for the love of the fandom. I, personally, left a part-time job at a web company when they asked me to do what amounted to allowing them to profit off of Vampire Chronicles fanfic. When I told them that legally and ethically I could do no such thing they said I could do it or they’d find someone else. I said see ya. (AFAIK they never found someone else).

So the amount of respect those of us in fandom had for Anne’s work and right to profit off of her material was large. What changed in our case was when 1) Anne got some of the rights back to her characters which meant she could profit off of them in ways she couldn’t before and 2) she realized us fans and our fanworks made for GREAT free market research into what her personal company could try to profit off of. The most perfect example of this, and how Anne’s greed ruined so much, was the Talismanic Tour company which was created by fans, worked with Anne and her official biographer to come up with walking tours of New Orleans based on things from Anne’s life and books, fully had Anne’s blessing, then, once it proved successful, Anne gave THEM a C&D and created her own tours at ridiculously jacked up prices.

Karma being what it is, nobody wanted to pay for that bullshit and Anne’s tours ultimately failed. But since she used her lawyers to scare the fan business out of running this then became another example of why Anne is the reason the fandom can’t have nice things.

(Can you tell I have so much tea from the VampChron days? Oh Anne. Bless your fandom-destroying black heart.)

Making this more fandom general, the points to take away here are a few:

Sometimes it’s not about law, or what the law “should” be. If a well known author, or TPTB from a TV show or a movie studio sent you, personally, a C&D letter for your fanworks, would YOU have the ability to thumb your nose at it? Do you have the resources for that lawyer battle and possible court case? Or are you like us Anne Rice fans were, living meager paycheck to paycheck, and not having it in you to even put up the fight with your ISP, let alone a millionaire’s legal team?

The blessing of the original creators means nothing. They love us until they don’t. Relying on their goodwill to keep fanworks safe is like relying on the skills of the person driving you around to keep you out of an accident: sure it’s possible, but you wanna put that seatbelt on and hope the car has airbags just in case.

Appreciate and support those who have done the work to explain WTF fanworks even are, let alone why they should be legally allowed (so let me repeat the earlier links to Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Organization for Transformative Works ). If you can donate money to them, great. If you can’t, at least appreciate and be grateful to the teams of people who took the risk of putting their real names out there (C&Ds are another reason many of us write under pseudonyms) at all, let alone on legal documents, and appeared before the US government in person to defend your right to make fanfic and fanvids.

[iamthechocobabe]

Speaking of lack of case law, E.L. James made a bestselling novel based on someone else’s work. There are actual sentences in both Fifty Shades of Grey and Twilight where it is literally the SAME DAMN SENTENCE just with the names changed. The fact that Stephanie Meyer never went after James is a true fucking miracle because if that had happened, the legality of fanfiction could have begun to be seriously debated and for all we know, laws could have been put into place to prevent fanfic users from creating.

So can we all take a moment to thank Stephenie Meyer for being a fucking saint?

Heyo! If you have time may I ask for some headcanons on Chocobros being de-aged or turn small / chibi and how they'd react to S/O cooing over how cute and squishy they are? Please and thank you!

You want chibi shit? I give you chibi shit! Chocobros as chibis are fucking adorable. Chibi is good shit. 

You can’t tell but I’m actually happy. Seriously. I curse when I’m happy. 

I think.

~Noctis~

-Noctis is annoyed.-Seriously, of all the spells that was placed on him, he just had to get the three day shrinking one. -Three days were long, but not to you. -He probably turned eight shades of red as you cooed at him, coddled him, played with him, yada yada. -He mad. -He so mad. 

~Prompto~

-Prompto is the only one of the group who is somehow okay with this. -Dude’s not happy, obviously, but he’s just so small and cute and how can you not love this dork? -But it gets a little problematic when you almost accidentally squash him. -He’s a little flustered, but when you show him your chocobo doll that’s about the same size as he is, he’s okay now. -you actually play dolls with him. He’s the doll, of course, and you try to rescue the king chocobo from the barbaric raiders of Niflheim. -Don’t act like you wouldn’t. 

~Gladio~

-He’s pissed. -See, Gladdy’s got this weird thing called a hero complex. -He can’t stand when he’s weak and if he’s the size of a gerbil, he’s automatically weak, at least in his eyes. -At least, he thinks so until he gets it in his head that he can still kick a daemons ass even when he’s three quarters of an inch tall. -He made you promise not to tell anyone that you saw him screaming in terror as he ran for his life and how you had to step in and save him. -You told everyone. 

~Ignis~

-He’s chill-Seriously, that’s all I can say for this guy. He’s chill. -He also tries to see if your doll house furnishings can work. They obviously can’t, but he seems to think he can fix that?-HOW????-But he makes it work and cooks the most delicious chibi sized dinner that you can’t taste because it’s so small. -HOWWWWWWW??????

~Bonus: Ravus~

-FEAR ME! -How dare you talk back to me, I AM A PRINCE! -What-what are you doing? Stop that! STOP THAT, I SAID!

Never Again

This has been in my head forever. I know a lot of people read yandere stuff with the chocobros and if you’re into that kind of stuff, that’s totally fine. But when I read a couple of fics, just to see how I felt about it, I got this really dark feeling that I really did not like. That’s when this incredibly dark idea popped into my head. I’m going to post it, but I may delete it after awhile, because reasons.I am also not going to tag anyone or post any tags for this fic, because reasons. I will put a trigger warning tag. Something.  

Never Again PromptoXOC! NSFW Trigger Warnings: Implied noncon, kidnap, suicide 

Freezing cold temperatures made the apartment unbearable-the man who claimed to love her more than anything, who swore he would protect her from the cruel world out there never did leave the heater on when he left for the day. The thermostat was password protected, so she couldn’t adjust it even if she cared anymore. 

But that was the problem-she didn’t care anymore. 

When the woman had first woken up in this hellhole, the dark apartment with so few furnishings that seemed to be forever freezing no matter the time of year, she had screamed. She begged. She kicked. She bit. She refused to let him touch her, had thrashed no matter how many times he had slapped her tear stained face until he finally gave up. She was proud that moment-she thought she had won. She thought he would let her go when he realized she would not play his sick game. 

How wrong she was. 

Her back ached and throbbed with a fiery burn when she thought of that horrific night, how he showed her the punishment for disobeying. How her back bled for weeks and she had to sleep on that filthy mattress on her stomach because it hurt to so much as touch her back. He cared for her those weeks, how slow he was and attentive when his desires came. 

But it was a lie. 

He did not love her. No man who loved, truly loved, acted this way towards their loved one. No person would cage their loved one like a bird and beat them within an inch of their life if they tried to leave. 

He was a liar. 

Her fingers were numb, but she no longer cared. She watched the children in the far off distance of the barred window play in that park without a care in the world. 

She had screamed. Hoped one of those children, someone would hear her. 

Only one person heard her. 

She never screamed after that. 

Every day passed, she grew emptier and emptier. He was confused at first when it happened. His bright blue eyes tried to get her to smile as he played and joked, his bright blonde locks bounced as he tried to get her to do silly things with him, like dance, sing. 

When he tickled her and she did not even flinch, he became angry. 

He wanted to see her scowl. Wanted to see her cry. Wanted to hear her yell, scream, beg, curse. 

Wanted her to show something. 

She did not. 

But as she stared at the children in the distance, memories of past wishes of family barbecues and lullabies sung to sleeping infants dancing in her mind, she gripped in her other hand the sharp razor. 

He had, of course, taken all of the sharp items in the house away. The only time he used a knife was when he cooked and he always kept it close by and vanished it before she ever got a chance to grasp it. 

Because she had tried once. 

Once. 

But it had finally happened. Last week, he had slipped. He had finally made a mistake, though minor it was. 

He had forgotten to take the bathroom garbage out. 

She had carefully pried the razor out of his razor blade, very careful not to cut herself so he wouldn’t suspect. The man didn’t even notice when he took the trash out the next day-he had most likely forgotten about the razor blade he had thrown out. 

But as the cries from children rang in her ears, breaking her heart and mind further, she knew it was pointless. Whatever he did during the day, she suspected it was military as he had proven time and time again that he was a trained professional. She would never get close enough to do damage with the blunt razor. 

She almost jumped out of her skin when she heard the door slam-when she heard his foul language and his harsh call of her name, she gripped the razor so tight that her hand bled, though she was so numb she couldn’t feel it. 

He had a bad day. 

She had to act fast-she couldn’t be slow-he would find it and stop her. And then she would never get the chance again. 

She had to do it now. In the quickest way possible. 

The most painful way possible. 

But she didn’t care. 

She knew that as she raised the razor to her jugular-she would not care of any pain that was inflicted, she just knew what she had thought of when she found the dull razor in the bathroom garbage. 

Never. Again. 

She heard him call her name-while her back was to him, he saw the glint in her fisted hand, saw where the sharp object was aimed. He was terrified, he ran to her for the immediate attempt to stop her. 

And this time...

He would fail. 

Two cursed words, at least to her, rang in her ears as she dug the razor in. No pain was felt, just two words in her mind as she dragged the razor across her throat, not hearing his scream of agony as he caught her body before it fell. His vest, covered with rips and dried blood from a hard day at wherever he was, was ripped off as he pressed it tightly to her throat to try and stop the bleeding. 

She saw him crying. Sobbing. Begging her not to leave him. 

She did not care. 

She smiled. She was sure she was laughing, though she couldn’t feel it anymore. 

Never again. 

He sat in the park, the winter cold digging into his snow suit. He was frozen at this point, but he didn’t care. 

Like she didn’t care. 

He had pushed her too hard-he should have showed her more how much he loved her, how broken he would be if something had happened to her. 

But now, it was too late. She was gone...

And he, too, would be gone as well. 

“Are you okay?” 

A lovely voice interrupted his dark thoughts as he raised his blue red tinged eyes to you. Your caring eyes frowned with concerned when you saw how sad and broken he looked. You knelt by his side and you didn’t notice how he had stopped breathing, the winter air no longer making wisps of steam at his breath. 

“It’ll be okay,” You said and his eyes were captivated. 

Yes. 

It would be okay.

Some days, I don’t feel like putting on a show. Some days, I don’t feel like pretending I’m happy when I’m empty and blank and the ultimate ‘meh’ face on the inside. Some days, I just want to hold up my middle fingers to the world and say ‘fuck you guys, I’m going to bed’

I am sorry if you ever see my posts and think ‘man I thought we were good friends, I guess she didn’t want to talk to me anymore’

I thought of this the other day and if any of you have thought this, I promise that is not and never was the case. I was in such a bad situation at my house that I moved in with my grandmother, but she only has room for me to sleep on an air mattress in her office. I haven’t had access to my computer so all of my tumblr antics have been through my phone. I miss this fandom terribly and am sad to see so many of my favorite followers leave because people are unaccepting of the concept of freedom of speech. I am still around and haven’t forgotten you guys! 😋😋😋
