Description
Zecora: “What the?”
Zecora: “What are you doing, have you gone mad? This is stealing, you’re being bad!”
Poison: “i’m not stealing your work”
Poison: “I’m studying it…”
Zecora: “sigh”
Poison Splash and Zecora are childhood rivals. Poison decides to read one of Zecora’s research books and study it.Zecora is less than amused.
zecora said “this is stealing” and I was correcting her. the usual strategy con-artists employ is:
I didn’t mean to imply that zecora actually thought that reading a book is stealing, but there are people deluded enough by these con-artists to think it’s 100% true.
Poison is true to her word. She is simply studying Zecora’s work.
Zecora is however as you said, afraid that she will take her research and sell it as her own.
you can, however, steal attribution, which is what zecora’s really afraid of. she doesn’t get credit then, and poison splash gets credit for stuff she didn’t think up.
or as zecora would put it: when you study my work and then do just the same, you’re not stealing my work, but you are stealing my name.
