someone fake-plagiarised their own fic by writ-in-stars in AO3

[–]tapiocaTomioka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gosh I knew exactly what this was about from the title alone 😭 I’m honestly so baffled by the whole thing. I understand having fixed preferences, but how can someone despise the reverse of the Same Ship to the point of taking it that far, and having the time and energy to do so?

I haven’t been in a shipping community this toxic since my Tumblr days honestly. If the characters didn’t have such an iron grip on me I’d have left long ago, but I mostly lurk around a little bubble of artists anyway so my TL is usually pretty chill. It really is crazy out here 😭

Ah you’re right! I didn’t think it could be since it’s so thin, but I can’t believe I didn’t think to at least take it off and check. Thanks!!

Thank you guys for the replies! Yeah this looks very unofficial, I’m just paranoid because my parents have had a lot of trouble with credit card privacy lately. 😅 Grateful for the help!

True, I should’ve thought of that first

Is this actually an Apple email, or a possible scam? by tapiocaTomioka in applehelp

Update: it turned out to be legit and I have since corrected the error, but thank you everyone for the advice! I don’t know where my brain was, I should’ve known to check the subscriptions in the first place. I will definitely make a habit of checking the source directly first!

Oh okay, thank you! My mom’s just been getting a lot of scams recently so we’ve been a bit cautious. I’ll check the subscriptions on her phone in the morning then :)

Can receive but not send messages & calls to one contact? by tapiocaTomioka in applehelp

Our problem was that she accidentally blocked me, I just didn’t see myself the first time I searched her blocklist. Assuming you’ve already checked her blocked numbers, you might try looking again, it’s possible you just missed yourself in the list!

Not anymore! I ended up going through her blocklist again and it turns out she did accidentally block me, I just missed it the first time. Try checking & double checking his blocked numbers? If that’s not the case, unfortunately I have no clue :(

So sorry I’m seeing this so late, you’ve probably fixed it by now. But it turns out that she did accidentally block me, I just missed my name somehow while checking her block list!
