>>56642979To the one person who cares, I've got another illness update for you: I've continued having throat problems despite a substantial decrease in coughing. Nighttime and waking up is still by far the worst time of the day for me. I went to the doctor to get re-evaluated and re-tested once again. Came back negative for everything, but the test for mononucleosis is infamously unreliable (10-30% chance of a wrong answer). The good news is that now I'm going to be doing what I should have done in the first place: taking a steroid. No side effects currently. Hopefully this is all resolved by the end of next week. Also, I am still low on motivation and have seemingly hit a roadblock on my villain for the climax of Control Human Delete.
>>56682948>It's not like I own the concept of letting a jacket lazily drape off the shouldersBut you kind of do. You were the first person to make an OC (and one that had staying power as well) with that feature just like you were the first person to make an OC with a Pokemon-themed jacket (maybe even Pokemon-themed outfit as a whole) and the first person to make a boy who wears a crop top, so those ideas will be permanently associated with you and as a result; only extremely broad concepts that can have many interpretations such as "corporate bad guy" won't linger in a creator's mind to nag at them about whether or not they are ripping someone off. When considering one's "originality", we try to trend towards attempts at iconoclasm in order to be as "original" as possible, reusing a similar concept can make us seem "unoriginal". Hence why I did
>>56661170 because using a normal jacket over one based off of a Pokemon would be a broader concept to interpret and thus would be more original even if it's more "generic".
