not gonna lie, this whole animation theft situation happening to me is making me realize

holy shit I'm a fucking adult

I can actually use my brain and figure out what to do when someone steals something I made!

sure my heart rate is probably higher, but other than that I'm handling this suprisingly well, no mental breakdowns, no extreme overstressing

just me

writing a formal email to john "copyright" youtube asking for an effect (turns out "filter" and "effect" are the same, but effect is more correct and officially used by youtube) to be taken down since it is literally just my animation.

put this into my damn irl character arc

plus, I can now tell people that I made an animation so good it got stolen and reposted 40 thousand times lmao
