PSA: Copying is not okay.

You go and you see something you REALLY like. It’s beautiful–it’s what you wanted. So what do you do? GET INSPIRED. Use that to inspire you to make something in your own way. Maybe “I really like the positioning of this” or “I think these look really nice here” and things like that is okay.

But when you take everything–from the layout to the placements to the names of characters to the interiors to the exteriors to everyone in town and use all of it and act like it’s yours… that is not okay. That is copying. That’s not being inspired. That’s not flattery. That’s being rude and telling the creator who you apparently liked so much that what they did is nothing because now it’s yours. That is NOT okay. In fact, it gets CREEPY at that point.

That is NEVER okay. EVER.

Not everyone is artistic enough to be able to make patterns completely from scratch–so they show their ability in a different way. By using what they have to make something beautiful. But it’s still artistic. It’s still creative–it’s just a different way. It’s an idea that is placed and shown–not something to be taken and thrown elsewhere.

You don’t plant a garden in hopes that all your neighbors will plant the exact same flowers the exact same way–an exact copy. You do it in hopes to inspire someone to maybe be like “A garden like that is nice–maybe I should plant some flowers”. Not take everything.

I don’t really have anything else to say–not sure if there is anything else I CAN say other than that it’s the first time I’ve felt this disappointed in years.

Day 134

It was overcast again today–and actually hit me that Isabelle is wearing her Fall/Winter clothes now. I’m sure she has for a while, but it only dawned on me now.

I had a letter from Julian thanking me for the shirts and also a letter from Diana.

Regardless, today was the slowest in a while. None of my villagers wanted anything :/ At least Julian changed his shirt back though.

Day 133

Unfortunately, despite looking like it’d rain yesterday, it never actually did… And sunny skies returned today. Along with the shirts I ordered to try and get Julian to change his shirt back.

Besides mailing the shirt, not too much is happening. I have a Dream Village I’d want to go to (along with my list that is still growing), but since I can’t take pictures without my main 3DS, I’d rather not do so until I get it back so…

Other than the daily Villager check-in, Redd was in town today. His only real piece of artwork was the Calm Painting, but it wasn’t one of the 3 my boyfriend still needs so bleh.

I really wish it wasn’t so hard to find some of my villagers, though v-v;

At the very least, I was able to stop Maple from moving thankfully…

Day 132

Today was rather overcast in my town. It feels like it’s been ages since the last time it hasn’t been Sunny. Not that I mind the Sun (now that I don’t have to worry about tanning), but I’d like to visit Resetti again.

I also had mail again today–this time from Marina. She gave me a Ghost Umbrella. Anyway, as for today…

Cookie wanted a Dragonfly.
Peanut spoke about the mail.
Merengue spoke about Peanut and Diana’s friendship.
Marcie spoke about how relaxing it is that no events are happening right now. (I can relate completely v-v; )
Diana wanted new furniture.
Maple wanted to know how she looked.

It took several reloads to get Flurry, Julian, Molly, and Marina walking around x-x But finally got to talk to most of them too:
Flurry invited me to her house.
Julian bought the Aqua Polka Tank Cookie gave me earlier….and then changed into it 🙁
Marina wanted a new greeting.
Molly just spoke about rumors.

Thankfully, it seems nobody is moving so hopefully it stays that way.

Day 131

To my surprise, I had a letter from Nintendo upon loading my game up today!
“Dear Jennifer,
The weather’s getting chilly,
so now’s the perfect time to
try new indoor games, like
shogi! Enjoy a piece on the
house! But don’t feel bad if
we still beat you!
From the gaming masters”

As the letter says, it came with a Shogi Piece. If only they sent this sooner (For those wondering, this was the last store furniture item I needed for my catalog). I also received a letter from Diana with some Red Headgear.

Anyway, I went to greet my villagers… Cookie wanted to trade my Jackhammer for her Tea Set… Unfortunately, I had an awful time trying to find everyone else. Eventually, I did find them thankfully x-x
-Julian wanted me to bury a time capsule.
-Molly gave me a Kiwi Tank.
-Maple wanted a cherry.
And everyone else was just talking about the town so yeah @-@
