I definitely don’t want Microsoft reading my Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy erotica fanfiction, that’s shit is between me, not God, and kinky Marvin.
“For as massive as it was, even Marvin with his planet sized mind couldn’t pinpoint the exact moment the pain in the diodes down his left side turned to pleasure. The safe word remained well behind his moist lips”…
Pure gold.
I’ve been seeing that comic for so long, and I’ve just realised I got the narrative backwards. I always thought the person handing the item over in the first panel was the plagiarist, and the person receiving it was saying “you made this?” in confusion, then waiting a moment and acknowledging that yes, they have just been given back the thing they made and told someone else made it.
Now I realise it’s probably meant to be read that the original maker is on the left, and the plagiarist on the right is just waiting till they’re gone to take credit for it.
I think that says a lot about your character though. You’d be sad someone took it from you, but you’d move on. Whereas someone else may see the world as a darker place where everyone is trying to steal what little they’ve created.
I think your interpretation tells me you’re an amazing person.
I’m torn between saying, “I think that’s a bit of a stretch,” and saying, “Why thank you, you’re absolutely right, and very insightful too.”
We’ll compromise and call it a stretch, where I was accidentally right.
Perfect.
The subtle clue is the hat the first guy’s wearing, like he just made it in his workshop. At least, I think it’s a hat!
Just remember, the fanfiction can always be worse.
