The Inner Mechinations of My Mind

I'll probably post dumb shit

[savedgame]

I just reada really good fic but halfway through I realized "oh shit this is really familiar.... didn't I write something like this once?" And as I kept reading I kept predicting what happened next and the further I went the more convinced I was that they'd ripped off my story-

like, copied the ENTIRE plot and re-written it, just better than I had? The characters were more fleshed-out than mine were, and the POV was more interesting, and the pace made more sense- but it was MY STORY?

So close to the end I was like "holy shit.. do I message them? Ask if my story inspired theirs? Should I be angry? Flattered?" Cause their tags and description didn't mention me AT ALL, which, sure, it's fanfiction to begin with, but if you're using my work than at least credit me as inspo, right? Just to be courteous?

But I get to the end of the final chapter, and it's not finished, and I'm kind of disappointed cause I never finished my story and I was really immersed in their version now and had been looking forwards to seeing how they tied up my loose ends- so I scroll to the bottom to leave a comment, and.

It's MY URL.

IT WAS MY STORY THE WHOLE TIME.

THE ONE *I WROTE*.

In *2013*.

And FORGOT ABOUT

BECAUSE I WAS SO INSECURE ABOUT MY SLOPPY, SHALLOW, AMETEUR WRITING

And I'm just sitting here now staring into space thinking about every shitty story I've ever written now like

IT WAS ALL GOOD?

IT WAS GOOD THIS WHOLE DAMN TIME??

I'M A GOOD WRITER?????

Every single time someone mentions police role-playing in a sexual context I think of this tinder interaction and I instantly become absolutely stricken with laughter

[max1461]

They offered me a job as a fucker. Yeah you heard me right, a fucker. Job is to fuck things. Boss points at something and says fuck it, I fuck it. That's my job. And I'm damn good at it. Pays like dirt and wears on the mind. Wears on the mind.

I was the guy who made sure the radio was always playing Fortunate Son by CCR during the vietnam war. Every single radio had to be tuned to that song

I always thought these pictures were photoshopped but apparently a man in guangzhou china did indeed make a huge ass garden to cover up the fact he illegally added three more stories to his apartment

[cherryfleischer-deactivated2026]

another illegal rooftop garden in beijing

and an illegal temple in shenzhen

No witnesses

[wumbo-the-bumbo]

A reminder

[assiraphales]

young harry houdini was hot. ppl didn’t go to those shows to watch the illusions they went to watch a half naked guy chain himself up

[assiraphales]

this bitch would stay behind a curtain for twenty minutes to build suspense and the audience would happily wait. no way they were there just to see a neat trick

[rollingyourrick]

[menomica]

Petite and fertile. Perhaps breedable

[assiraphales]

I realize I was the one that made the “harry houdini is hot and his audience is into bdsm” post but you def made it worse so like. thanks I guess

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

He was also the first person to fly an aeroplane in Australia. That's not relevant to this topic it's just interesting.

[abibeur]

His name was also inspired by the Father of prestidigitation, Jean-Eugène Robert-Houdin, born in my humble town of Blois. This is even less relevant and maybe a little chauvinistic, but it's a reminder of the fact that if you make a Houdini parody in your work of fiction, you imply the existence of Robert-Houdin and thus the existence of Blois in the world you have created. This is a threat.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

And the -Houdin part of his name was taken from his wife, who was not a magician, which always amuses me since it's the part that Houdini used.
