suck, and i cannot stress this enough, my cock to the fucking base
oh no! i dropped this screenshot that explains how to bypass this with a free adblocker! you shouldn’t reblog this or anything; it’d be terrible if people used this advice to watch ad-free youtube!!
SO HERE IS THE WHOLE STORY (SO FAR).
I am on my knees begging you to reblog this post and to stop reblogging the original ones I sent out yesterday. This is the complete account with all the most recent info; the other one is just sending people down senselessly panicked avenues that no longer lead anywhere.
IN SHORT
Cliff Weitzman, CEO of Speechify and (aspiring?) voice actor, used AI to scrape thousands of popular, finished works off AO3 to list them on his own for-profit website and in his attached app. He did this without getting any kind of permission from the authors of said work or informing AO3. Obviously.
When fandom at large was made aware of his theft and started pushing back, Weitzman issued a non-apology on the original social media posts—using
as reasons we should allow him to continue monetizing fanwork for his own financial gain.
When we less-than-kindly refused, he took down his ‘apologies’ as well as his website (allegedly—it’s possible that our complaints to his web host, the deluge of emails he received or the unanticipated traffic brought it down, since there wasn’t any sort of official statement made about it), and when it came back up several hours later, all of the work formerly listed in the fan fiction category was no longer there.
THE TAKEAWAYS
1. Cliff Weitzman (aka Ofek Weitzman) is a scumbag with no qualms about taking fanwork without permission, feeding it to AI and monetizing it for his own financial gain;
2. Fandom can really get things done when it wants to, and
3. Our fanworks appear to be hidden, but they’re NOT DELETED from Weitzman’s servers, and independently published, original works are still listed without the authors' permission. We need to hold this man responsible for his theft, keep an eye on both his current and future endeavors, and take action immediately when he crosses the line again.
THE TIMELINE, THE DETAILS, THE SCREENSHOTS (behind the cut)
I’m curious!
i wanna address some weird/worrying stuff going on on tumblr.. ’:-)
no one can control what anyone ships or what they enjoy, but sharing harmful and problematic ships on here is not necessary or okay.
its weird and possibly harmful.
heres why!!! ↴
So…found this on the Wiki (article is Bruce and Brandy’s children) and I just gotta say…I completely understand the part where Poppy becomes the aunt to one niece and twelve nephews through her marriage to their Uncle Branch. What I wanna know is how Viva becomes their aunt and how Peppy becomes their grandfather…am I missing something here?
Would Clay be the father?
I knew you were gonna ask me that. To be honest, I don’t really see anyone else as the father, just because of her prior refusal to leave the village and because they’re close friends so it’s not really much of a stretch to think they couldn’t become something more. Long story short, yes, he would. More nephews/nieces for Branch and his bros (like they need anymore…)!
I’m curious!
I’m working on a brand new, “Trolls”-related, writing project full of short stories and/or drabbles which I’m going to post on AO3, so be on the lookout. My first short is almost completed and it’s very steamy, which all of them are going to be.
If you’d like a snippet of my first short, DM me.
The first drabble of my new “Trolls” project is up on AO3. My username on AO3 is IceRoseQueen.
Y'all this happened tonight they thought I was gonna see Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes cuz I was the only adult without kids watching Trolls Band Together 😭
Me tho…I mean, I didn’t really get a good look around the theater, but I’m pretty sure I was the only young-ish person there, without children, seeing Trolls 3. Everyone else in the theater were either parents with their kids or groups of moms with their kids that came together

We continue the countdown with:
Share your headcanons, any and all that you have for the Trolls franchise in a reblog or reply to this post!
With Floyd, Grandma Rosiepuff and at least one other brother knew he was LGBTQA , even before he figured things out for himself.
Hear me out. With the new movie coming out, my brain has naturally produced fan fiction ideas and the one I really want to write is this: Branch is asked to babysit his nephews and niece while their parents have a date night. Things immediately start to go wrong, especially right after Bruce (Spruce) asks his dear baby brother. I already started writing.
Snippet is under a read more.
Also, if y’all are interested, I’ve also begun drafting a Cliva smut fic. It’s got plenty of good stuff, like a little bit of office sex, a little sex on a desk, and some other sexy stuff
We continue the countdown with the question:

Broppy, of course! Aren’t they so cute?
