Let's Talk.

Hey all!

Ophie here.

As I'm sure some of you are aware, there was a recent issue with a creator named Hanna Shelby who was actively plagiarizing other creator's work, mine included.

Primarily (and most egregiously), she outright copied @Not-Hannah's bot, Deep Obit—which is a phenomenal bot, that you should all check out.

In terms of her copying my own work, this is my linked example:

Presented first is @Hanna Shelby's bot Simon 'Ghost' Riley | Taking care of a dog.

My original Married Life bot that was posted back in December of 2025 had this as the Profile image.

It almost looks as if both images were used as references when she generated her own image.

As I'm sure you can tell, the images are... uncomfortably similar. I spend a lot of time trying to get the images I use to really look... well good.

I also have frequently used my own artwork as a reference when genning bot profile pictures.

There was also an instance, presented below, of another bot profile image that was just a bit too close for comfort.

Same as before, @Hanna Shelby's bot.

Next, my own.

Now, these second two normally would be different enough that I wouldn't be overly concerned. The bot itself was also... pretty similar. This is clearly a pattern of behaviour.

Below, I've linked @Not-Hannah's post detailing her own experience. She's had a much worse time than I have. She did a wonderful job compiling the evidence and laying it out in a way that is much more comprehensive/cohesive than what I've done.

And please remember:

If you have concerns about plagiarism, or anything like that, please do your due diligence. Do NOT accuse other creators of something so horrible without irrefutable evidence. The reputational damage to the innocent party in a situation like that is impossible to overstate.

Please be careful, be honest, and be good.

Creation is everything to me. I want us all to have a peaceful and enjoyable time. Treat others with respect. That's all.

Love,
