Dear creature (since I'm not sure if you're a human or a monster or an animal or something pretending to be another),

I throw my arms as a symbol of "thankfulness" for visiting this oasis. But just so I know who's specifically knocking at our oasis's front door, do you mind if you register or log in?

You're currently wandering outside our oasis as a ghost. This means your face is unrecognizable and you are limited to certain areas of our oasis and there are some abilities you don't possess. If you become one of us, you'll be able to access monster-only sections, and use many monster-only features such as having a slimy profile, sending monsterosas letters, and a lot more. Monsterification is simple, fast, and completely free.

Do you have what it takes to become a monster?

If you're already a monster here then please slobiverate your details below in order to access all the features you deserve: (Plus, you'll get rid of this annoying reminder.)

Okay, I'm probably being paranoid, but I have a problem.

When I was ten, I saw this video on "America's Funniest Home Videos." I felt that it was one of the few genuinely cute and funny videos on the show. Those boys couldn't know better.

Fast forward eight years later. I'm writing a set of "Little Moments" drabbles where the twins embarrass Elena by showing Zick, well, "feminine protection." I'm basing the sanitary napkin one by a personal experience so it's a-okay, but the tampon one is based off my memories of the video. I only kept the dynamite part as far as I can see upon reviewing the video (come on , it's childllike innocence, just like the sanitary napkin confusion), but I'm scared that I'm unintentionally plagiarizing it.

The video link is above, here is the drabble:

So what do you think I should do?

(I'm not scared of dictionaries just in case you were thinking of it.)

Oh my, those happened to me a few times before. Whenever I watch again some of the videos I watched before, there will be some scenes in there that [are somehow similar to the scenes] I have put in my stories and script. I never thought I unintentionally plagiarized it [until I re-watch the videos.]

Usually if that happens, I change the whole scene.

But, looking at your situation, I personally think it'll be okay if you just leave it that way since it wasn't your intention to plagiarize the video.

EDIT: Added some words in second paragraph.
