For context, I'm a gmod animator and I have been wanting to make more shorts as of late. I've seen people re-animating clips and memes and posting them just fine, and was wondering if that itself counted as "transformative work" which is considered fair use in my country. My idea was to take Chikn Nuggit shorts and re-animate them in gmod (with credit of course). I have seen people post entire compilations without hassle and was hoping this could work or if that would end badly for me and my channel.

Hello everyone, I(21m) have had issues with my parents for a while, if you wish to see my prior posts about them. They were overly controlling of me all my life, but now that I moved out they send a text once a month and that is all.

This doesn't line up with what they usually do. Is it normal for people like them to just stop or is it something else.

Another thing is when I was a bit younger, they suggested me signing a waivier that would put me in their full medical care if something happened to me. Now I never signed it of course, but they have a history of interfering with my life and that has me kinda worried. They are also pretty conservative and they might try using whatever they can to shape me into what they want.

I have been working on some personal projects and I am kinda worried they might try either taking them from me or trying to stop them. They "heavily suggested" I go to college and when that didn't workbout, they helped themselves to my money.

What shouldnI do if they approach me?

Hi there. Planning to make merch some time in the future and since I use GMOD in a lot of what I do, there's not a lot of non-copyrighted characters I can use for it. I can draw and I know my way around photo editors, but would I get in trouble for using characters from, say, Mario and Final Fantasy in my POD store??
