Art Thief Alert #14. This time, the thief in question is 'creepypastaislit'. You know what to do: report the stolen content in question as 'violating someone else's intellectual property', and then block the user. Edit: Okay...so, it looks like this particular instance may have been a misunderstanding stemming from this guy accidentally posting a character he already sold. Keeping this up in case that isn't what happened, though. Edit 2: Yep, this one's a false alarm. Damage is already done, however.

Art Thief Alert #11. MAJOR alert this time. The thief in question is 'Cybelle Carollinne'. So, obviously, I'd usually say that the thing to do here is to report the stolen content in question as 'violating someone else's intellectual property', and then block the user. While that absolutely applies here...the thing is, the user in question is a serial, prolific thief who has been active for at least 13 years (and possibly more), and has a SWARM of sockpuppets and alts. Go through the posts by @NoirRyu and @luthien-black above (and the comments on them) and report and block ALL of the socks and alts mentioned.

My thoughts about Fire Emblem Engage by Amber2002161, journal
My thoughts about Fire Emblem Engage
I'm not sure what to make of the upcoming Fire Emblem Engage. For one thing, it seems to take some mechanics from the mobile app Heroes in that you can call forth heroes from past games(except without the gatcha). And the gameplay looks reminiscent of the traditional FE style, which is nice. On the other hand, I'm not sure what to make of the protagonist's (Alear) hair. It seems Intelligent Systems were going for a modern anime look with the multi-colored hair like YGO. However, it doesn't seem very Fire Emblem-ly to me. All the games in the past had characters with colorful hair, but not to the extent as Alear. Not to mention he/she also has heterochromia. Why do they need this in addition to the already ridiculous hairdo? While I was looking up info on Engage, I learned that Alear has already been the victim of memes. Most of them call him Colgate Toothpaste or Pepsi Man due to the hair. There's also the fact that the artist behind the main character is a V-Tuber. This defeats
Adventures in Chibi-Sitting; a baby Chibi (HappyScary Dean's baby version) is accidentally left at the doorstep of the Team Mirage Jungle Palace, so Rick Danko, Levon Helm, Benny Mardones and Roy Horn take care of the baby Chibi. But they go on a wild goose chase around town after Stiv Bators misplaces the baby Chibi. A Lesson in Housework; Stiv is asked by Levon and Benny to help his fellow teammates to do chores around the Jungle Palace, but Stiv's attempts at doing so leaves the place more messier than cleaner, to Siegfried's chagrin (reason for the chores is because his sister Dolore is coming over). A Sleepover with Team Casanova; Roy decides to hold a sleepover with his teammates, but hilarity ensues when Dana Plato invites Team Casanova over to the Jungle Palace though they have a good night together. 13 People and a Spoiled Brat; Tiffany's obnoxious 8-year-old brother Jayden shows up at the Jungle Palace, much to the surprise of Team Mirage and the angered annoyance of Tiffany.
123 Kid; the youngest member of Team Mirage (at 21), the 123 Kid is the party guy of the team. He has trouble concentrating on things and loves to have fun rather than work hard or do unpleasant things. He can be a bit of a pussy and sometimes tries to run away from fights. But when his friends are in real danger, he'll suck it up and come to the rescue. His teammates prefer to call him 'Kid', due to the fact that he's the youngest in the team.

He likes order and getting things done in a timely fashion, which can be difficult with a few of his friends who love to party first and get work done later. And when things really don't go his way, he's gonna explode. He and Roger Taylor get into arguments often about who's lifestyle is more preferable. Despite this, he cares deeply about his friends
=======A Tutorial We’ve all run into the situation where we want a character to speak while gagged, but what do you write? You can put your hand over your own mouth, speak the lines and try to mimic it in print, but when faced with the task it’s not that simple. Good gag speak can help paint a more vivid picture of a captive's distress more vividly and make us feel that gag empathetically and viscerally, if there were just some rules to follow (and break). I am no expert, but over decades of DiD writing I have been evolving a set of guidelines in my head of how to convert normal speech into sets of letters that portray a character with gag hampered speech. These guidelines were first based on observation of other people’s writing, then an analysis based on what I have been able to learn and observe about sound and speech articulation. Only recently have I boiled these down to a set of written guidelines. Styles of my own writing are biased of course, but take, ignore, or break the
