I've got some good news for you.
I can't explain it but Ides of March feels like a Tumblr festival. Every year we amp it up, meming in anticipation of the main event, where we celebrate the brutal murder of a dictator at the hands his friends and colleagues by posting nonsense for a full 24 hours. I wonder if @staff will turn it into merch.
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 just realized I wrote "day" instead of "die" in the last meme and feel like an idiot.
Just my humble little contribution to the ides of march celebration.
Sorry for any grammatical error, English is not my first language.
People’s souls vanish from the afterlife if their names stop being mentioned by those in the living world. You, an average person who hasn’t accomplished anything exceptional or abhorrent, have been here for 500 years and still haven’t vanished yet.

VOTE TAD STRANGE
Propaganda under the cut!
Mark Scout
Mark literally doesn't even have any hobbies, interests, or backstory. He is literally the most generic guy
Mark is the most a4 blank sheet of paper man ever
more propaganda here!
Tad Strange
His whole thing is that he's so normal that it's just a tad strange. He really likes bread.
Tad Strange is THE basic white man in business attire. Literally, that's his entire personality (other than speaking in monotone, bread, milk, painting things white, and staring at nondescript rocks).
I love your comics! Everytime I read them, I discover a new detail. For Example, I just realized that the Picture in the background, in the Michael and Eric comic, says "Fuck off Elias". You are literaly my favourite Artist.
I'm soo happy you noticed! It was a gift from Gerry when Eric started to learn braille.
