Which, despite my love of the fandom wank archives and the HobbyDrama reddit I am personally pretty avoidant of.

My dream was about plagiarism… which is nowadays the drama I try to stay away from most because it's such a fuzzy line.

In the past I have been accused of ripping off… myself.

But anyway in my dream I guess there was a tumblr rp that was straight up stealing my dw Sif tags and pasting them into their tumblr account.

Now that I'm not under the influence of dreamlogic I'm not sure how that would work?? But in this dream that was very clearly what was happening.

Anyway in my dream I decided to make a Plurk PSA about this plagiarism, which idk that I would actually do, but in the dream I did! And it made some sense in my own mind because it seemed really likely that this tumblr rp was taking more tags from other dw threads.

The actual harm in this is debatable but that's at least a major community faux-pas so here I was thinking: "I am justified in calling this out"

So I make this plurk and then immediately get an anonymous private plurk (which idk if that is even a thing) saying "wow way to be passive aggressive and accusatory and make everyone feel paranoid and then deleting the plurk"

which ??? when did I delete the plurk ??? I didn't mean to delete the plurk

and I definitely didn't mean to be passive aggressive or vague I know I meant to have specific examples of this copying but somehow by the magic of dreams I had deleted the plurk

then I spent like half an hour trying to figure out how to make a new plurk, again, because of dreams

just trying really hard!! but somehow not doing the thing.

and that was the dream.

oh my god

my roommate also had an rp drama dream last night, something must be in the water

how stressful

I mean when I woke up and it became clear it was a dream it wasn't that stressful but those anons'll get you, man.

i don't think that is actually a thing, no, but it sure is ripe stressful dream fuel

omg what a stressful and specific dream

a new thing to be afraid of: internet drama nightmares

it's so weird, flashbacks to the less imaginary plagiarism dramas of my youth
