I'm thinking abt that pretty fall leaves embroidery pattern post and about how like... it is categorically a repost, it's a reupload. right? a thing that is generally disliked. but because it's credited, it's genuinely boosting the artist in question. and it could ALWAYS be like this. reposting content could ALWAYS be a symbiotic relationship, but because sourcing back to the original creator of something is so uncommon, it's just easier to ask people not to repost it at all. and people still don't understand the difference. or they'll go to the effort of cropping out usernames/signatures to repost something, which is More Effort than literally crediting the creator of something you liked enough to want to repost. Like. I literally don't actually care if my own shit gets reposted, you have to understand. I just don't want it STOLEN. But "do not repost" is easier to write on my art than "you can repost this, but don't alter the image/remove my signature, don't you dare write 'credit goes to the artist' because that is not credit, please link back to my original post or someplace that you can actually find me. please use an actual link/url instead of writing a non-clickable link of my username, because making it text instead of a clickable link cuts the number of people who will go to the effort of visiting my own page in Half." All those aggregate themed accounts, those fuckin annoying as hell instagrams and facebook groups that are like "body positive art we love wamen 💕 hashtag feminism" and then MASS-STEAL plus sized art created by women, if pages like these that always go and steal my older self-portraits and other works... If they just put a link to my prints of those pieces in the text of those posts, or, fuck, my commission info page? I would literally be living on the moon right now. I would have a house on the moon

Wtf is with the sudden increase of fanart reposters on the twitter fandom??? Ive seen like 8 people do it already with NO credit and people thinking that the reposter drew it and when askes they claim they "found it on pinterest" Like what the fuck is happening there jeez

bylers stop reposting art u found from pinterest without credit on tiktok challenge

hey tumblr i got completely distracted by something i will likely never think about again but i'm discovering things so it counts for. something?

obsidian vault stuff is a lot more work than you think it'll be when you're trying to work in things using css alone and all of the usual caption displaying methods don't play nicely with inline images </3

Why do you not credit the artists when you repost their work?

I'm assuming this is about my post celebrating Sophie's birthday?? I don't think I've posted anything else with art in it recently

I mean. all four of the art pieces in that post were by Cassandra Jean. and i didn't include her name mostly because I didn't think it was necessary? which does sound bad I admit but I feel like all tsc fans can automatically recognise her art/style (this could be faulty logic on my part tho 😭)

like CJ is a cornerstone of the tsc fandom it's basically impossible to not know her. I don't think I've ever seen a post that outright stated that the artist credit was her because it's just assumed you know who she is & can recognise its her's

hate when i find amazing fanart and it turns out the account it came from is NOT the creator ,,,

Pathetic, Instagram. Make your captions’ character capacity longer.

omg so many popular blogs are getting nuked cause artists are reporting for copyright violation i swear my dash looks insane!

reiterating because maybe we weren't clear the first time

reddit refugees, reblog art, don't repost it

if you really like someone's art, reblog it. you can do that by clicking the little looping arrows at the bottom of the post. this will make it so the art appears on your blog and shows up to your followers, but the op is still credited and given notes.

reposting does not give credit. and no, saying "artist is ___" as the caption doesn't count, unless you have permission given directly by the artist.

if you have a funny or pretty image on your phone that you saved from reddit, don't post it here on tumblr, because 99% of the time it came from tumblr. use a reverse image search to try and find the original tumblr post, and reblog that.

taking that extra five minutes to find the original post of an artist you love will absolutely brighten their day and make the entire world a better place.

please, I'm begging you. reblog art. don't repost it.
