☽☾ The Huntress ☽☾

This is a devotional piece I drew for my beloved goddess Lady Artemis ! I'm really happy with the outcome even though I wish I could've done more with the background :/ but also this is the first fully colored piece I've done in a while and I'm glad I could do a more complicated one for my lady ! I hope she likes it , and you do too I hope <3

ALSO please cut me some slack on the rendering of the dog , I never draw animals and fully color them even less so , but I tried my best .

The little "print" on her clothing is supposed to be cypress branches & the white spots on her shoulders & cheeks are referencing the white spots of fawns ! The fur around her shoulders is from a bear and the bandages are stained with Ichor , the golden blood of the gods ( hunting isn't an easy job after all )

This piece was heavily inspired by one of my favorite paintings called " Diana the Huntress " by Gaston Casimir Saint-Pierre which I used as a reference :3

if you hate ai that much for stealing your work, why won't you quit writing fan fiction with licensed characters. you write with characters that are not even yours, so quit using somebody else's work right?

Hi Anon, my reasonings for hating AI span far and wide, my issues with work being stolen is more closely associated with c.ai creators who are stealing fics from Tumblr and feeding them into c.ai. The legal leg that I would have to stand on in regard to making a claim against a company like Open AI stealing my work would be shaky at best. The issue of AI stealing work spans further than the world of fanfiction. I would recommend looking into The New York Times v. Open AI to learn more about the issues with stealing work and feeding it to generative AI platforms. I've linked the filing for you to read, since you're so interested in this argument.

I assume you've read this post by my friend, you might even be the Anonymous User who started the discussion. For the sake of time, I'm going to try to refrain from repeating anything that she's already covered. However, I'm under the impression that you've chosen to avoid looking into the information and sources that she so kindly provided for you. Much like her, I'm going to provide you with answers to the best of my ability as well as sources. I'll be focusing on intellectual property laws, which is what you begin to graze the surface of in your ask.

I don't use trademarked material in my fanfiction, this would be a logo or audio that has been registered by Criminal Minds or, more specifically, CBS and Paramount Global. Therefore, I have to assume the "license" you're talking about is referring to copyright, but if you elect to have this argument with someone else in the future, I would refine your language. A copyright license is typically something granted by the copyright holder to a third party. This would be used for functions such as secondary transmissions of previously aired television, I've linked the U.S. Copyright Office's information on it for you.

You're right, the character's I write about are not mine, unless you're including the different "_!reader" variations that I use, which I would consider to be mine. If you're wondering whether or not I can do that, the answer is yes. Despite the fact that I do not own the copyright nor do I have any specific licensing to write fanfiction, my work is still protected because it is my intellectual property. This argument can be considered a slippery slope, and it is earlier to use other defenses should it come to that. Additionally, I feel it is pertinent to mention that registering copyright is completely voluntary, the main benefit of registering with the U.S. Copyright Office is that it enables you to bring up infringement suits.

Now, if CBS did see my fanfiction and decided to do something about it, their first course of action would be to issue a cease and desist. At which point, I would remove the work they refer to in the letter from my blog and no further action would be taken. Cease and desist is generally the first course of action in intellectual property dispute, exceptions may be held for trade secrets. Now, you don't need to play IP Vigilante for them, CBS is a multimedia conglomerate worth almost two billion dollars. I'm sure they appreciate your concern, but they're doing just fine, even with my fanfiction in the world. If you wish to bring this to their attention, their website asks for copyright concerns to be sent to the following:

CBS Interactive Inc. Attn. Designated Agent 680 Folsom Street San Francisco, CA 94017 designatedagent@cbs.com phone: (415) 344-2000 fax: (415) 344-1241

Now, what would they do following a cease and desist? Say I'm so impertinent that I don't allow CBS/Paramount to intimidate me into deleting my fanfiction from Tumblr. In copyright infringement cases, the burden of proof falls on the plaintiff, in this case CBS/Paramount, and they would need to prove that they have a valid ownership of the copyright, that the defendant (me) copied the work, and that such copying constitutes unlawful appropriation. My argument would be that fanfiction falls under fair use. In order to prove that the copying is unlawful, they would need to go through the Four Factor Fair Use Test:

The purpose and character of your use.

The nature of the copyrighted work.

The amount and substantiality of the portion taken, and

The effect of the use upon the potential market.

Note: A factor test means that only one "factor" would need to be satisfied for judges to make a decision. This is different than an element test where every "element" needs to be satisfied. Jennifer M. Romig & Mark Burge, Legal Literacy and Communication Skills: Working with Law and Lawyers (2020).

With all of this in mind, let me remind you that I don't make money off of fanfiction and I have no interest in making money off of fanfiction. It's acknowledged by IP Law professionals that fanfiction writers and copyright owners have a symbiotic relationship that only breaks down when fanfiction writers begin to charge for their work. This happens more often when fans dabble in visual media, which I'll address in the next paragraph. Things like fanfiction and edits have improved the defendant's argument, as I oftentimes see people say that fanfiction or fanart or fan edits encourage people to watch Criminal Minds. Furthermore, even acknowledging that I'm not the original owner of those copyrights wouldn't protect me from an infringement claim, which is a very common misconception.

Do I think it's likely that CBS/Paramount would ever sue a fanfiction writer on the basis of copyright infringement? No, I really don't. The main reason for that is that the publicity would not reflect well on the company. Company's do a lot to save face, and this would be an instance of that. While Paramount has never issued guidelines on fan-produced media regarding Criminal Minds, in 2016 they issued guidelines on fan produced media regarding Star Trek. These guidelines were released by the company and clearly states "CBS and Paramount Pictures are big believers in reasonable fan fiction and fan creativity." This statement came in the wake of a Kickstarter that raised $638,000 to create a full-length feature film set in the Star Trek universe. Now, maybe I'm just being humble, but I don't think my Tumblr blog has the same reach as that Kickstarter. It is for this reason that I believe my fanfiction falls under the "reasonable" umbrella provided by CBS and Paramount Pictures. If you still want to report me, I'd recommend looking into reporting the thousands of users under the "criminal minds fanfiction" tag on Tumblr and the 39,029 works tagged with "Criminal Minds (US TV)" on Archive of Our Own as well. If CBS were to bring legal action against me, they'd be setting a precedent for every other fan creator out there, you might as well point them in the right direction.

You may also notice that I've been heavily dependent on U.S. Copyright Law, this is because CBS is located in the U.S. and no other reason.

Finally, I want to take a moment to tell you that nothing produced by artificial intelligence can be protected by intellectual property laws. The U.S. Copyright Office has been unwavering in their refusal "to register copyrights for artworks created by artificial intelligence systems. The prima facie reason is a lack of authorship because the U.S. copyright regime recognizes only humans as authors" (Wang, 2024). If you're interested in learning more about this, I'd recommend looking at the Copyright Act of 1976 and the Lanham Act (Trademark Act of 1946) because those are two forms of intellectual property that people come into contact with most often, in my opinion.

Next time you choose to argue with someone over the law, I'd fact check your materials before submitting an anonymous message. I'd also recommend making sure they don't have a master's degree in legal studies. This topic is not open for debate until you come to me full educated on what you wish to discuss and further messages will be deleted on the basis of your own ignorance. I know exactly what I'm doing when I write things on Tumblr, do you?

Best,

Margot

Update// Israel will occupied the rest of Gaza and will have no place to go to. Also hunger is killing us slowly here. Can you imagine that the flour is 600$ for one bag. My family is 8 person and now we don't find anything to eat please help my family and support us. Everything is so expensive and unbelievable 💔💔💔.Guys we need you in this harsh conditions I'm begging you. 😭😭

I’m Inge Kassab 22, dental student in Alazhar university Gaza, I have finished three years of my studies at the university and unfortunately my university has completely destroyed due to the war in Gaza and I can’t go abroad the city to continue my studies because all boarders around us were closed and I forced to live her under bombing.

For almost a whole year and half I have been living in Gaza, where wardestruction and chaos spread everywhere in Gaza.

I am currently in Deir El Balah after I have displaced from my city Gaza , trying to save money to rebuild home to live in a safe place with my family. My father is an old man who lost his work and my mom also lost her work. I need you to support me and my family to build our life again.

Because of the war, it has become impossible to provide money to live, buy food, clean and drinkable water, and education here. This money will be used to provide what the war has destroyed for us, and also to provide a place to stay, especially since we are now approaching the winter season, where we need winter clothes, repair the damage to the house, and provide what protects us from the cold and hunger of winter.

Gaza has become a place full of destruction and is no longer suitable for any opportunity here. Diseases have spread in the Gaza Strip, especially those skin diseases for which there is no treatment due to the war. The water here has also become polluted water and has spread, and there is not enough food for everyone here.

I created this campaign to ask for help and support from you. As a human being who lived an entire year and half under the flames of war, destruction, and tragedies, I am addressing you and asking you for help, to help me get a chance to survive war, death, and hunger with my family, and to start from scratch. A new journey of living and recovering from those traumas and painful memories that we experienced in the war. So we stayed in the Gaza Strip under the genocide to live in difficult conditions and complete our studies with the least available means. Before the war began, I was at the beginning of the clinical stage and the beginning of my work on patients, but the war came and destroyed all my dreams, as I lost my university and my dental tools, which cost my father more than $1,000, and I lost my future. But now I am trying to return again in order to complete the number of study hours and graduate. Therefore, I need your help to complete what remains, as there is only very little left to graduate and go out to work and help patients.

This money will also help me to cover our living expenses and buy food in Gaza. Buying food and groceries in Gaza is something we cannot afford every day because of the high prices, and there is no opportunity to work here. The money will also be used to buy available cooking gas, wood and firewood which will also be used to provide fires for cooking and also to keep warm from the cold at night in the coming days.  Also I want to build my own clinic after graduation.

I hope you will hear my voice and help me get a chance to evacuate from here, and a chance to evacuate from Gaza if we can . 🥺❤️

So Please Help Me to Put (Dr.) before my name please make this post viral 🥺❤️‼️

Inge Kassab.

or directly here

something in my soul shifted here

Hephaestus and Aglaia

They’re so underrated and I wish ppl would explore their dynamic more instead of trying to fix Hephaestus and Aphrodite’s marriage.

Also there is a story mentioned in the Iliad were Hephaestus was trying to protect Hera from Zeus and in retaliation Zeus grabbed him by the foot and threw him of Olympus, and he landed on Lemnos. Hence the lightning scars.

Please take a look at my story.🇵🇸💔

Hi, I'm Tristan from the Netherlands, running this campaign on behalf of Inge, who tells her story below:

What is the difference between sociopath and psychopath?

OH! OH OH OH I LOVE THIS QUESTION. Also this is a massive explanation that really goes in-depth about neurology so I'll do a read more.

The main difference is that a psychopath is born with ASPD. A sociopath develops it during early (we're talking starting off as young as 2) childhood due to severe long-term (several years) abuse and neglect (generally from main caretakers).

There are also some nuances in how a socio's brain works in comparison to a psycho's. But the major difference that really determines all of the minor differences is that a psychopath doesn't necessarily have trauma related to their ASPD, and tends to have a lot less comorbid disorders. A sociopath ALWAYS has trauma that directly caused their ASPD and a fucking CVS receipt of comorbid disorders the large majority of the time.

There are also more sociopaths than there are psychopaths. The physiology of ASPD is that the brain's structure is different from an empathetic person. Specifically in the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala, because there's not enough activity in those areas for someone with ASPD. The prefrontal cortex is involved in decision-making, impulse control, and regulation of social behavior, and the amygdala is involved in emotion processing and fear response. Abnormalities in the amygdala contribute to a lack of empathy and increased aggression (aggression does NOT equal violence in this case, but rather an increased and pervasive level of negative emotion that makes you more likely to act out). Genetics have been proven to play a factor in how likely someone who was born empathetic would develop ASPD.

The difference here is that a psychopath is born with reduced blood flow to those areas. No trauma needed, that's just how they work.

On the contrary, a sociopath develops reduced blood flow to those areas because if you live in an environment that fosters the growth of anti-social traits and behaviors you are not exercising those parts of your brain. I'll go into a deep dive about the neurological aspects of how formative trauma turns into ASPD.

Chronic stress from abuse can impair the development of the prefrontal cortex; reduced activity or structural abnormalities in this area can lead to increased impulsivity and difficulty regulating emotions. The amygdala becomes hyperactive due to repeated exposure to threatening situations. This results in heightened aggression and reduced ability to empathize with others. Abuse can lead to a smaller hippocampus, impairing the ability to process emotions and increasing vulnerability to stress.

Chronic abuse elevates cortisol levels (the stress hormone), which can alter brain function and structure. Persistent high cortisol levels can damage the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, exacerbating emotional and behavioral regulation issues. Serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitters regulate mood and behavior. Abuse can disrupt their levels, contributing to aggression, impulsivity, and difficulty experiencing pleasure or reward.

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) becomes hyperactive, leading to a state of constant alertness and readiness for perceived threats. This can cause chronic anxiety, irritability, and aggressive responses. Conversely, some individuals may develop a blunted stress response, showing reduced physiological reactions to stress. This can lead to a lack of fear or concern for consequences. (These two may combine so that safe things trigger stress and unsafe things do not).

Abusive environments can impair the development of secure attachments, leading to difficulties in forming trusting relationships. This can foster detachment, manipulative behavior, and a lack of empathy. Inconsistent or abusive parenting can disrupt normal emotional development, making it difficult for individuals to manage their emotions and impulses. This can result in volatile behavior and poor emotional control. Abusive environments often model and reinforce antisocial behaviors. Children learn to cope with stress through aggression or manipulation, which can become ingrained patterns of behavior. Abusive environments can impede moral development, leading to difficulties in understanding and adhering to societal norms and rules. This can result in a disregard for others' rights and a propensity for criminal behavior.

Trauma and abuse can also alter gene expression through epigenetic changes, affecting the brain's development and function. These changes can increase the risk of developing ASPD by influencing genes involved in stress response, emotional regulation, and social behavior.

A lot of people who went through severe childhood abuse may experience anti-social symptoms without having full-blown ASPD. When I was younger I did a genetic test that led to some very fascinating results that now that I'm older and understand my disorder I understand how my ASPD ties directly into my genetic depression, or rather my genetic depression is caused by my ASPD.

I don't process/produce Vitamin B6, B9 (Folate), and B12. These vitamins are crucial for brain function and the production of neurotransmitters. Deficiencies lead to mood disorders, cognitive impairments, and other neurological issues. B vitamins are involved in synthesizing neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which regulate mood and behavior. These are neurotransmitters that act as natural painkillers and mood enhancers. B vitamins play a role in the metabolic pathways that produce endorphins. An inability to properly absorb, process, or produce B vitamins can disrupt these pathways, leading to lower endorphin levels, which can contribute to symptoms of depression and affect overall mental well-being.

Because of how specific my issue is I had to take a specialized blend of B Vitamins. Unfortunately once I turned 18 my parents stopped buying them for me and I haven't had the funds to purchase my own at all since I was cut off (which has led to my mental health tanking). I strongly suggest anyone who deals with anti-social traits in a way that is disruptive to their daily life to look into these. You can't generally find them at a drug store, but they're on Amazon for 25-ish USD for a month's worth bottle. Which is really good because when my parents were buying them two years ago or so they were 40$ a bottle.

I have been on all sorts of mood stabilizing medications, psychosis medications, anti-depressants, anxiety medication, etc. None of them worked because we didn't know what exactly was wrong with me. All it did was make it so I couldn't feel the negative emotions properly, so I was constantly numb. What the vitamins did for me is that they let me process passive endorphin exchange and metabolism for the first time in my life, which meant that there wasn't a drastic barrier between me and positive emotions.

I strongly suggest this for anyone who is also just dealing with mood instabilities/disorders because it helped immensely. I'm bipolar two and I wasn't dealing with any major manic episodes while I was on them for about two years, so it helped drastically in that aspect too.

I know this got a little off the rails, but sociopathy is such a hard disorder to deal with, and it's so demonized by the media. Just telling someone you're a clinical sociopath is enough for them to kick you out of their life, even though it has no reflection on your character and is just an outcome of a horrible, hell-like childhood. So I think it's important for ASPD voices to speak up about the disorder when they can and try to dispel some of the awful stigmatization.

shame on all who participated in the movement of removing the T in lgbTqia+

Marsha P. Johnson was erased from the stonewall monument website, along with any other trans activists.

there would have been NO stonewall monument without Marsha P. Johnson.

In a corner of Gaza, my family and I are drowning in destruction, with the echoes of suffering surrounding us. I sat beside my modest tent, hastily erected after losing my home in the latest bombing. The faces of my family tell stories of patience and resilience, with lines of time etched upon them, as if they were records of unforgettable events. 🇵🇸⏳🍉

I once lived in a small home, filled with the laughter and voices of my children. Today, I have become a witness to the agony of displacement. The bombing forced me to flee with my children after a shell struck our home, leaving behind years of memories and simple belongings I never imagined would become unreachable. 🏚️💨

Every morning, I leave my tent and go to work, using a clay oven to provide food for my children. Meanwhile, my youngest son heads to the charity kitchens that offer aid, waiting for long hours under Gaza’s scorching sun. Despite the exhaustion that weighs down his frail body, he carries the food mixed with his tears and returns with a fake smile, hiding behind it the burdens of his struggles. 🍞🥀

At night, when everyone else is asleep, I remain seated at the entrance of my tent, gazing at the dark sky, reminiscing about days gone by… about my home that was once filled with warmth. Yet, I still find remnants of hope in my heart—a hope that one day peace will return, and my children and I will live in a new home, filled with joy. 🌙🏡✨

In moments of solitude, I find peace in prayer and supplication. I plead to God to protect Gaza and its people, to wipe away the dust of sorrow from our hearts. I always repeat🇵🇸🍉🌿

"We are here to remind the world that we are stronger than war, and we will rebuild our lives anew, no matter the cost!" 🙏
