So I went to read the entire decision in that case where one YA romantasy author (Freeman) sued another (Tracy Wolff, author of the Crave series) for copyright infringement and I bring you some gems that I have not yet seen posted. 1

This was a labor of love and the most complex piece I’ve ever made.

7096 stitches, 98 hours. 2-strand on 18ct.

I was just so in love with this book cover, I couldn’t not.

The book is Crush, the second installment in the Crave series by Tracy Wolff :)

As much as I like the Crave Series, I have a BONE to pick with it. (Crit under the cut)

Cyrus Vega is said to be ≈1,000 years old. Okay, sure. Whatever. Wanna what doesn’t make sense?

His accent. Cyrus has a British accent, which doesn’t make sense for if he is 1,000 yrs old because BRITAIN DIDN’T EXIST. 1,000 years ago, the Norse were exploring North America and the Celts existed. Realistically, he’d have a mildly French-Slavic accent and know a few dead languages. This is because both languages were prevalent around the time period he was born. Now, this isn’t to say that Hudson and Jaxon’s accents don’t work for them.

I think the point drawn between Jaxon not sharing his family’s accent is a very good bit of storytelling. It shows his detachment from his family and how utterly different he is from them. So he can keep his American accent.

Hudson having a British accent totally makes sense too; this way, we can now draw in the disconnect Hudson had from Cyrus, despite acting like the perfect heir. Hudson—being a royal about 200 years ago—would’ve been taught from a young age by a professor, who would’ve been British because Britain exists by then. Thus, he keeps his British accent AND we get an extra tid bit of angst and disconnect from the Vega Brothers to their parents.

(Delilah totally keeps her British accent too, I believe, since I’m pretty sure she’s not 1,000 years old like her husband Cyrus is)

“But you taught me that real love isn’t about finding someone who makes you happy. It’s about finding your own happiness and then sharing that with the person you love.”

Tumblr is a safe space right??

I’m going to pretend it is, even if it isn’t.

And I’ll just dump my frustration right here.

I asked Siri the definition of ‘sociopath’ because a character called someone in the book I am rereading a “sociopath”.

And Siri completely gave me a vague definition of Antisocial Personality Disorder (which is the formal term) without even saying the world ‘sociopath’ at all.

Now before you all grab your pitchforks..

I acknowledge the informal term ‘sociopath’ has been stigmatized and is problematic.

Please understand this post hasn’t be made to spread any negative discord about ASPD.

This post exists simply because I felt triggered by Siri saying ‘Antisocial Personality Disorder’ instead of ‘sociopath’ when I asked for the definition of ‘sociopath’.

I am antisocial.

I don’t have ASPD.

Something about hearing it called ANTISOCIAL Personality Disorder just really ticked me the bleep off tonight. (Probably not helped by me already being annoyed with the character that called Hudson Vega a sociopath.)

A person in the comments pointed out that I might be Asocial instead of Antisocial; and I believe that fits me pretty well. lol. But let’s be real; it wouldn’t take much for the later to be true as well. 🤣
