Might as well post this here for posterity, since Youtube has yet to resolve the matter.
A couple of weeks ago, my short film 'Pleasant Inn' got a false copyright strike from an individual named Kazi Zidane Mim. He has been striking any Youtube channel that reacted to my short film in the hopes of uploading his own stolen version titled 'Paradise Hell.'
For comparisons, here is my original short film:
[This is a horror animation and contains flashing lights, so viewer discretion is advised]
And here is Kazi Zidane's stolen version:
Kazi Zidane Mim has a history of just flat out stealing.
As an example, this is his 'Bloody Mary graphic novel,' which is actually a manga called 'Ibitsu,' with only the text/dialogue changed.
He's literally just selling this on Google Books and Amazon without any push-back.
I also found out that he has a Sketchfab account.
Why is this important? Because Sketchfab offers a great library of 3D models made by other artists, such as this animated deer by Games in Motion Studios;
Look familiar?
I'm sure coincidences are possible, tho 🦌
Kazi Zidane even made a bogus IMDB page of my stolen short.
And to add insult to injury...
So far, Youtube hasn't done anything about this and I'm tired of waiting. Many channels have received false copyright strikes by Kazi Zidane Mim just for reacting to 'Pleasant Inn' since 2019.
Hey y'all, a heads up.
Dr. Gallagher was recently the subject of a viral tweet thread because she almost killed one of my friends via neglect and gaslighting. A transphobic journalist is trying to capitalize on that to fearmonger. Please signal boost this, share it to other Discords, etc. No one deserves to be used by a transphobe for a hit piece.
Sorry if you're seeing this multiple places but I am piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissed.
This is a lil demon-thingy AU I had going on in my head and nowhere else so I also never developed it to really make sense outside of my head. Just take it as "hehe cool design".
you can tell which people involve actual compassion in their political stances and which don't by how they respond to things happening to real people and not hypothetical scenarios.
earlier I was reading the comments section of a reddit post that screenshotted this woman's post in a religious community where she basically says she's pro life but now conflicted because she could die from having another baby (also her husband is blatantly abusive and uses her as a baby machine, but she talks about him like it's normal). so I opened the comments (of the post with the screenshot, not her original post) and there's a lot of people joking around and saying she should die basically because she's stupid for being against abortion and she should consider this "god's punishment". now judging by how this woman describes her role in her marriage she's quite clearly abused and currently willing to possibly sacrifice her LIFE for her husband. and as someone whose dad also treats women like this and uses religion as an excuse I had sympathy for her despite her "pro life" stance (I mean it's not like she's a politician passing anti abortion laws lol). I tried to comprehend the comments joking about this post but I couldn't. I can't find the situation funny. and it makes me realize some people's political convictions are very surface level. it's just about fun clapbacks on social media. no one is treated as a real person.
The start of a new series. Where Yuu has finally come home after a year in Twisted Wonderland and reunites with thier family. But things don't go back to normal though, people become suspicious about where they've been because they won't tell.
Warnings: None.
A/N: I'm still new to writing stories, this Yuu is intended to be GN but I apologize if I make any mistakes. This Yuu has an older brother, a mom and a dad. I don't know how to write younger siblings so I didn't include one.

Yuu had made many friends in Twisted Wonderland. Thier fighting spirit never ceasing in thier quest to get home. They had earned the respect of others and discovered amazing things on the way. Thier fighting finally paid off when one day the mirror anounced that it had found a way home for them. At long last they would see thier family again.
"We'll find a way to keep in touch right?"
"I'm sure we'll figure something out. You go back to your world Yuu. Take care of yourself."
"Thanks Ace."
"You know you mean a lot to us Prefect. We respect your decision to leave and we'll never forget you. I wish you the best."
"Thank you too Jack."
"Bye minion. The Great Grim gives his praises to his most useful henchman."
"Goodbye Grim. Remember to study well."
With thier last words to them said and done, they stepped through the portal.
-
Stepping through the portal thier senses were lit up with a myriad of different colors before they felt themselves moving at breakneck speed. They were going so fast yet they couldn't will themselves to scream. But then just as fast as it started it stopped. Yuu opened thier eyes to find themselves in front of a large mirror in an old, abandoned house. They got up and looked around. The house looked as decrepit as Ramshackle when they first arrived in Twisted Wonderland. Albeit much smaller, more like a log cabin.
Going outside they were met with the sight of a forest all around them. There was a path leading from the porch to somewhere covered in foliage. After clearing the thick brush with thier bare hands they uncovered another path. This one leading much farther than before. Following the path down the hill eventually led them to a road. Not wanting to go back to the cabin they made the decision to follow the road, and hope it would lead them somewhere where they could get help. The thought had crossed thier mind earlier that maybe it wasn't the right place. In that case they made a mental note to remember thier way back to the cabin if things got hairy.
Yuu walked for many hours. Thier feet began to hurt. The mirror had replaced thier NRC uniform with some other plain pair of clothes and a scarf. They were given some type of gum boots as shoes. Wich were convienient for when they were trekking through the brush, but now they were getting hot and uncomfortable the more they walked. They were grateful for the scarf though, as well as the long sleeved outfit. There was quite a strong breeze blowing that made them shiver. The scarf also doubled as a way to keep prying eyes off of the scar on thier neck left behind after Riddle's overblot.
It was after this thought that they came across a river near the road. With big rocks surrounding each side that made quite the photogenic spot. Yuu was utterly exhausted at this piont so they saw no harm in taking a small rest. They lurched thier way to the river's edge with renewed motivation. Remembering a wilderness survival technique from thier brother they made sure to stay away from the still water that might be stagnant. Yuu made sure they didn't drink too much water because they did not look forward to having to pee in the bush if they don't find a town soon. They even took off thier boots and socks to dip thier feet in the water.
Sometime later they dried off, put thier shoes back on and continued on thier way. It was all going fine until later they noticed something. It was starting to get dark, witch made Yuu fidget nervously. It spelled bad news to be caught in the dark at a time like this, thinking this they quickened thier pace. All the walking eventually led them to a street sign. The sign had many names on it but there was one that stood out to them. The name of thier town. There was a fork in the road with three ways to choose from. So they set off in that direction.
After about 5 minutes of walking they were met with the sight of thier town. They felt a huge wave of relief knowing that this was the place. Remembering the way to thier house they continued thier journey. It was now dark at this point. Down the hill and through the familiar roads they went. Some cars drove by but they didn't need to flag them down at this point, for they knew where to go. There were no people out during this time of night. They were all in thier homes. Making the atmosphere even more tense when they got to thier street. They could see thier house from here. They were almost there. Yuu crossed the road and walked up to their home.
The lights were still on and they could hear people talking. The weight of the fact that they were finally here after an entire year was now settling in. And they began to silently panic. What do they say? What will they say? After some breathing techniques learned from Vil, they stepped up to the door. They couldn't find thier voice to speak yet so they knocked three times. No answer. So they knocked again. A bit louder this time. This time they heard something: footsteps coming up to the door. Yuu held thier breath when the door began to open.
"Hello. Can I help yo-
CRASH
The glass thier mother had been holding was now shattered and forgotten on the ground as she stared at them. Yuu couldn't make eye contact but they knew she was shocked speechless. The commotion caused two more sets of footsteps to approach.
"Honey, what is i-
Thier father and thier brother appeared behind thier mom and stopped dead in thier tracks. They had the same looks on thier faces as thier mom. They kept staring at them as though they were an impossible thing. There was a moment of complete silence as they stared at them.
"...um...hi, I-
All of them ran towards Yuu at once. They hugged them like they would disapear if they didn't hold tight enough. They were all crying. Yuu stood there frozen. They themselves began tearing up. Then for the first time since Twisted Wonderland. They let the tears roll down. They cried in thier family's embrace and let the stress out. They could hear thier parents mumbling words to them however they didn't have the energy to decipher it. They kept crying into thier mother's shoulder, tears soiling her blouse. They eventually cried themselves to sleep and thier dad took them to their bedroom, the bedroom they had not slept in for months, and lay them on thier bed. They stayed with them for a while until they too had to go to bed.
Yuu was finally home.
-
Meanwhile in Twisted Wonderland, the boys were already beginning to feel Yuu's absence. Even those who claimed they didn't care had a small pain in thier chest when they were not there. It was during these moments when they wondered if they would ever see Yuu again...
And if there was a way for Yuu to come back.

Twst incorrect quotes #09
Yuu: You have gone to far. You have captured me. Enslaved your whole dorm. Lied and manipulated me since the very beginning. All that I could forgive. But Jamil…
Jamil: What?
Yuu: A hoodie in this heat?
-
Azul: Blackmail is such an ugly word. I prefer extortion. The X makes it sound cool.
Or
Yuu to Crowley: Blackmail is such an ugly word. I prefer extortion. The X makes it sound cool.

Rook: A fistfight CAN be romantic.
-
Shapeshifter: *transforms to look like Vil*
Vil: Okay, are you like BLIND? You look nothing like me. First off, I'm way taller. Secondly, I have a MUCH elegant posture, if you could drag comb through that hair you're like a 7 on a good day and I've been told I'm a constant 10.

Yuu: Social distancing says you shouldn't be within an elbow's distance of each other.
*later, in a fistfight with a student tryna start some shit*
Yuu: Social distancing doesn't say nothing about feet! *kicks opponent in the face*
Anti anxiety.
So it's not normal for my mom to threaten to send me to my dad's as punishment even though she knows I'm scared of him?
It's not like he's hit me or anything but I'm sensitive to people literally screaming in my face (all 'cause I didn't want to go to church too). Like, I now you were a soldier but I'm not, so my immediate response to that is to cry. Honestly, under any stress, I cry. It's just my natural response.
But I am glad I can cry because since, like, the ages of 7 through 13 I could barely cry because my dog died. So at east I'm getting slightly better. Still live under my parents' roof though 'cause I'm a minor.
Sorry for the rant. I just typed one thing and then a bunch of other things. Kinda like word vomit.
good parents dont hit their children. good parents dont touch their children inappropriately. good parents dont scream at their children. good parents dont manipulate their children. good parents dont imprison their children at home. good parents dont threaten their children. good parents dont starve their children. good parents dont harass their children.
good parents do not abuse their children.
