I was just thinking about a DND Homestuck AU for Terezi Reasons and:

WHY Isn't there a high-lvl Transmutation spell where you turn into a Dragon for X Turns??? That seems so OBVIOUS, right???

reblogging someone’s art or fic with the tag “I don’t ship this/like this character BUT” is not the compliment you think it is

When you FINALLY get through ALL the Castle eps of season 8 (thus completing getting to see the show in its entirety), and you're left sitting back like: WTAF was that mess?!

(Maybe spoilers below? I mean, it's been so long now, if you haven't seen it by now ... But, throwing it out there anyway.)

Don't get me wrong. Overall, I loved the characters and the show, even with the ups and downs in some places and seasons. But the last season was TERRIBLE. I knew how it ended. I'd seen the ending to the final ep and knew why it was abrupt and just a quick glimpse seven years later. I'm happy with that part, all things considered. But, seriously, who thought the events of season 8 were a good idea?! It was like the path writers took Batman on and exactly why I ended up giving up on and hating that comic and universe. The writers put the characters through way too much, it was constant drama and heartache, and a depressing storyline; even when there were light moments, they were fleeting or seemed forced, and random stupid stuff was tossed in that wasn't needed and added nothing at all to the story - yeah, I'm referring to that stupid as hell 'Lucy' pyramid AI speaker that was a Castle show version of Alexa gone crazy.

I think I'm going to disregard season 8 entirely, save knowing how things turned out in their future. Most of season 6 was meh, so I'm going to just toss those parts out, too. And the whole wedding abduction and reasoning there? Yeah. That I'm booting as well. I hate walking away from something that I loved feeling a bit dead inside, even when there's a happy ending.

That aside, Fillion is still amazing and, even in that awful parts of the show, he shined. I just hope the Rookie doesn't take a nosedive like Castle did.

I’m not going to crosslink the drama here because a) no, b) I do not want to reblog transphobia just to point out how a different aspect of the post is wrong, c) there is an alarming possibility that one of the people involved got chased off tumblr, and I’m not adding more eyeballs to that, and d) no.

But, some important things to remember in internet arguments about art!*

You can not copyright a character. You can copyright an artwork a character appears in. You can trademark a character (but trademarks are not automatic like copyright). You can not copyright a character.

Is copying someone else’s character ethical? I’d say it usually isn’t. Is it something you can take someone to court over? Not unless you trademarked the character, or they used your artwork without the rights to do so.

Parody is allowed under fair use (if you are in America.) While a lot of things the internet thinks are parody are not-- if you make a character as a political mouthpiece, and someone uses that character to make a point about how that political idea is wrong/make a joke about it, there’s a good chance it is parody.
