To GIF or not to GIF
The absolute insolence some genius and talented gifmakers in HOTD universe are experiencing right now is unseen. Denying them the right to proper credit for their work and calling them screencap software operators is so awfully disrespectful, that I can't just stand by.
I'm so grateful that within our little and cosy TLK family I have never experienced anything like that, but let's spread the word and show that we appreciate the talent, work and time some lovely people are investing to give us nice, coloured, sharp moments of our favourite shows. Because this makes the difference whether we see this:
or this
Under the tag #respect gifmakers you can find more examples of how the gifs would look like if gifmakers were just operating the screencap software. Feel free to reblog to show your respect and support.

So there’s a blog (never seen/interacted with them before) in the recent Ewan Mitchell tag I commented on for using an uncredited gif of Michael Gavey and I felt I was really polite (maybe I wasn’t 🤷🏼♀️) about pointing out we should support gif makers and THEY BLOCKED ME 😂 (first they responded “ok” and then blocked)
Like damn dude, can’t we just all support each other??
They claimed they just got the gif off Pinterest and I tried to explain that a lot of time goes into these gif captures by gif makers. Didn’t realize this would be so controversial

I feel like this goes without saying (though given everything that's been going on, I just don't know any more) but please do not repost gifs from Pinterest.
It's highly likely, if not guaranteed, that people on Pinterest stole and reposted others' gifs and edits without their permission in the first place. As such, properly crediting the original creators of the gifs will be almost impossible.
Pinterest is a breeding ground for stolen content. Please don't bring that stolen content BACK here.

people on this site will see content creators begging, pleading, screaming for interaction speaking about how disheartened they feel and asking for even a lick of attention and be like "wow it's so presumptuous and cruel to act that way about your loyal customers - the lurkers and viewers on this site!" while not reblogging or interacting with anything and then not two days later they'll have the gall to come online whining about how all of their fandoms are fucking dead. like two guesses as to why that is.

10 BL Characters That I Want "Carnally"
What I'm gonna preface this with is I have no carnal desires for anyone, let alone any of these darling little freaks. My relationship with sex isn't complicated, it just doesn't really occur to me. That being said, based purely on physical/characteristic appeal and my own biases.
1. I would let Ray (Only Friends) ruin my life for a little while. It'd be fun and we'd do drive-thru rehab on the way. It'll be grand.
2. Also Ayan (Eclipse) and this is very apparent that I just have a thing about Khaotung. Who'd'a thunk't, with a username like mine.
3. Alan (Moonlight Chicken). Stable jobs and fruity shirts are tremendously sexy to me. He's also the only one on this list other than perhaps #5 that I would ever concievably trust in a room alone with my stuff, so he should probably actually be #1.
4. Will burn a building down with Sean (Not Me). Will burn anything down with him, honestly. For him.
5. Ink (Bad Buddy) I don't care that she's not a BL boy. She can do whatever she wants, forever.
6. Vegas (KinnPorsche). Don't ask, shan't explain.
i don't have a gif for vegas and i'm too lazy to go throw one together bc i don't have a kpts download so imagine him being a freak here.
7. Neo (3 Will Be Free). Idk I just appreciate a giant man that could probably carry me around without breaking a sweat. Also his tiny t-shirts delight me.
8. Prapai (Love in the Air). He's got money, he's pretty, and he simps hard. I'm not a very complex person.
9. Inspector M (Manner of Death). I'm out of ideas and he's pretty. He's a cop but we all have our flaws, I spose.
10. I'm going to put Sand (Only Friends) here purely because I'm fucking struggling but I have dated/fucked/worked with way too many fucking hippies musicians to ever actually consider him.
I did this off the top of my head so I'm sure I'll reread this in an hour and think SHOULD'VE SAID I'D PEG THE FUCK OUT OF YOK but we live and we learn, such is life and all that.
Bonus Yok gif because I didn't do a Vegas one, and I made myself laugh there.
Not tagging anyone because I absolutely did not do this the way I was supposed to :3 but if anyone wants to, pls feel free to say I tagged ya ♥
Ok I'm tagging @mushiemadarame bc it occurs to me that this is the kind of nonsense she'd love
