I cannot stand the parodies of modern major general, they're overdone and simply not as good as the original. They've done them about everything, whatever topic, big or small.

And when i notice one of them my eyes will always start to roll.

The diction's always slurry when they rush the complicated words, and adding many fricatives will turn it so cacophonous. The slanted rhymes are silly and they keep just making more and more, please someone stop the parodies of modern major general.

The scanning of the lyrics in the meter is unbearable, they emphazise the syllables in ways that are untenable, in short in matters musical, prosodic and ephemeral, i cannot stand the parodies of modern major general!

Fun fact about the early Catholic church is that, despite spending generations being persecuted by the Roman empire, it took less than 15 years under Theodosius I to go from “the empire is Catholic now” to “and also every other religion is banned.” You can literally read St. Augustine move from “state religious persecution is unacceptable” to “state religious persecution is cool actually” over his lifetime as Catholicism came to power. I’m sure there’s no broader lessons to be learned there

List of random Headcanons/Ideas!

Post-Sonic Frontiers edition!

Starting off with Sonic:

After Sonic Frontiers I don’t think much will change for Sonic. He’s still gonna live life free as the wind, stop Eggman’s plans, and enjoy a nice chilidog after a hard days work.

I like to think Sonic will take over guarding the Master Emerald while Knuckles is out adventuring and treasure hunting. He doesn’t stay on the island 24/7, but at the end of the day he always makes sure he’s on Angel Island.

Sonic does, in fact, become the ultimate chao dad while staying on Angel Island.

He keeps in contact with his traveling friends through letters. Amy consistently writes weekly, Tails writes every other week, and Knuckles is completely inconsistent with his letters.

Sonic and Rouge have a bit of a truce going on so she won’t steal the Master Emerald. All she asks in return is to be allowed to hold onto the chaos emerald until Sonic needs them.

Sonic finds himself spending more time with his other friends, which he enjoys.

When he finds out Eggman restored Sage he starts relentlessly teasing him about being a dad. Eggman once retorted by mentioning Sonics lack of a father. Sonic no longer teases Eggman about being a dad.

Moving onto Tails:

As soon as he can, Tails sets off on his journey/adventure. At first he is very nervous, and is not used to not having someone to fall back on.

Tails ends up having his own enemy, one that isn’t Eggman. I like to think it would be a villain that uses magic, like Witch Cart. Why a magic villain? Well it would provide a nice contrast in their dynamic, technology vs magic, similar to Eggman and Sonic’s dynamic, Technology vs Nature- jk I just want an excuse for Tails to learn magic.

The first time Tails see’s himself on a newspaper with the header “Sonics sidekick turned hero?!” He immediately buys one and sends it to Sonic.

Tails took the Tornado in the divorce-

On one singular occasion Tails has to go to his home island to continue to fight his villain. He definitely got funny looks, but he didn’t let them get to him. He would later write a very long letter to Sonic about the experience.

Tails doesn’t realize how much he’s grown during his adventure until he meets back up with everyone after a few years have passed. Having to look down to see Sonic was a jarring experience.

There was an instance during one of his adventures where he crossed paths with Knuckles. They got brunch and chatted a bit. Knuckles offered to help Tails with his adventure but Tails declined the offer.

Give Tails a solo game Sega please I beg of you-

Knock knock its Knuckles:

Knuckles was very hesitant to leave Angel Island and the Master Emerald in Sonics hands at first. Sonic had to practically throw him off the island for him to get going.

One of the first souvenirs Knuckles needs to get on his travels is his hat. I don’t make the rules it just be like that.

Knuckles is pretty well know across the world thanks to his role as leader of the Resistance back in Sonic Forces. It’s always a fun surprise when he comes across an old rookie.

Knuckles doesn’t start off treasure hunting right away, he actually starts off as a simple traveler searching for and explore ancient ruins. It’s the maps and clues he finds in the ruins that leads him down the path of a treasure hunter.

Maybe Knuckles can meet/reunite with Mighty and Ray 👉👈

With Knuckles spending most of his time traveling in nature he doesn’t get to send letters to Sonic as consistently as he’d like, but when he does he makes sure to make the letter as details as he can.

Anytime he hears news of Eggman attacking he’ll check it out, just to make sure the Master Emerald isn’t involved.

Last but not least, Amy Rose!

Amy, all packed up with Sticks and Cream, head out on their road trip around the world. Their goal, to spread their love with the world!

With Amy’s trip all planned out she’s able to consistently write to Sonic weekly to tell him all about her doings.

Amy does a lot during her trip, organizing fundraisers, stopping some troublemakers, and doing tarot card readings (Give us Sonic themed tarot cards Sega please-)

She would definitely start small operations where she cooks big meals and anyone is welcome to come by to eat.

I feel like Amy would, similarly to Knuckles, be pretty well known worldwide because of her role in the resistance.

I think out of everyone she could come across in her travels, she’d end up meeting up with Shadow. Since the Twitter Takeovers are canon to me and you can’t tell me otherwise, I think he would join her little road-trip and bring up the whole “cat orphanage for all the stray cats of the world” idea. She would absolutely love the idea.

Yes Amy would most definitely play matchmaker a few times while on her road trip. She’ll say she only did it two or three times; Sticks, Cream, and Shadow will say she’s done it at least thirty times.

Fanfiction Authors: HEADS UP

(Non-authors, please RB to signal boost to your author friends!)

An astute reader informed me this morning that one of my fics (Children of the Future Age) had been pirated and was being sold as a novel on Amazon:

(And they weren't even creative with their cover design. If you're going to pirate something that I spent a full year of my life writing, at least give me a pretty screenshot to brag about later. Seriously.)

I promptly filed a DMCA complaint to have it removed, but I checked out the company that put it up -- Plush Books -- and it looks like A LOT of their books are pirated fic. They are by no means the only ones doing this, either -- the fact that """publishers""" can download stories from AO3 in ebook format and then reupload them to Amazon in just a few clicks makes fic piracy a common problem. There are a whole host of reasons why letting this continue is bad -- including actual legal risk to fanfiction archives -- but basically:

IF YOU ARE A FANFIC AUTHOR WITH LONG AND/OR POPULAR WORKS, PLEASE CHECK AMAZON TO SEE IF YOUR STORIES HAVE BEEN PIRATED.

You can search for your fics by title, or by text from the description (which is often just copied wholesale from AO3 as well). If you find that someone has stolen your work and is selling it as their own, you can lodge a DMCA complaint (Amazon.com/USA site; other countries have different systems). If you haven't done this before, it's easy! Here's a tutorial:

HOW TO FILE A COPYRIGHT COMPLAINT FOR STOLEN WORK ON AMAZON.COM:

First, go to this form. You'll need to be signed into your Amazon account.

Select the radio buttons/dropdown options (shown below) to indicate that you are the legal Rights Owner, you have a copyright concern, and it is about a pirated product.

Enter the name of your story in the Name of Brand field.

In the Link to the Copyrighted Work box, enter a link to the story on AO3 or whatever site your work is posted on.

In the Additional Information box, explain that you are the author of the work and it is being sold without your permission. That's all you really need. If you want, you can include additional information that might be helpful in establishing the validity of your claim, but you don't have to go into great detail. You can simply write something like this:

I am the author of this work, which is being sold by [publisher] without my permission. I originally published this story in [date/year] on [name of site], and have provided a link to the original above. On request, I can provide documentation proving that I am the owner of the account that originally posted this story.

In the ASIN/ISBN-10 field, copy and paste the ID number from the pirated copy's URL. You'll find this ten-digit number in the Amazon URL after the word "product," as in the screenshot below. (If the URL extends beyond this number, you can ignore everything from the question mark on.) Once this number has been added, Amazon will pull the product information automatically and add it to the complaint form, so you can check the listing title and make sure it's correct.

Finally, add your contact information to the relevant fields, check the "I have read and accept the statements" box, and then click Submit. You should receive an email confirmation that Amazon has received the form.

Please share this information with your writer friends, keep an eye out for/report pirated works, and help us keep fanfiction free and legally protected!

NOTE: All of the above also applies to Amazon products featuring stolen artwork, etc., so fan artists should check too!

I'm so serious about being kind above all else. it has genuinely changed the way I interact with the world on a fundamental level and has made me so so much happier.

I saw the 'hero' walking around cutting grass while I was collecting bananas. He's pretty small, I bet I can beat him.

Glory to Master Kohga.

Ok so my kid had an ear infection, right? As kids often do.

The doctor scraped out a bit of earwax to have a better look inside.

I was sent a bill for $200 PER EAR for this 5 second procedure which I did not give permission for them to do.

That was key- they did not ASK me if they could do this "procedure". And, as I OWN a medical practice (it's me. The medical practice is me, sitting in my house on video calls) I knew to call them when this bill came in to be like "You did not obtain informed consent for this procedure, and it was not en emergency procedure. You had full ability to gain my consent and didn't. I'm not paying."

And the massive hospital who owned the bill said "yuh-huh you do have to pay."

And I said "I own a practice. I know these laws. I do not owe you money for this."

And they conducted an "internal review" and SURPRISE! Decided I totally owed them money and they had never done anything wrong ever.

And so I called my state's Attorney General office, and explained the situation because, as I mentioned, I know the law. The AG got in touch within a couple days to say they were taking the case and would send the massive hospital conglomerate a knock it off, guys letter.

Lo and Behold, today I have a letter where said hospital graciously has agreed to forfeit the payment.

"How not to get screwed over by companies" should be part of civics class.

Know your rights and know who to call when they're infringed on. This whole process cost me $0 and honestly less effort than I would have expected.

May this knowledge find its way to someone else who can use it.
