Alys Rivers was at least forty years of age during the Dance of the Dragons, that much is known. All agree that she looked younger than her years, but whether this was simple happenstance, or achieved through her practice of the dark arts, men continue to dispute.

tanya, how do you act when your gif edits are stolen? I feel possessed, it makes me incredibly angry. because I invest time and quality in my editions. and I find it pathetic when they say “it’s not your footage”, but the editing is completely mine. This is so discouraging to create gifs, I'm thinking about putting watermarks even if it doesn't look pretty, because it's rubbish, repost it here on Tumblr or Twitter and still get twice as many likes

I understand your feelings, anon. A couple of years ago, if I found out that a person had reposted my gifs here on Tumblr, I’d write to them asking them to delete it — because it was created by me, and all that — or at least to indicate credit to my blog. But most of the time, it ended with the phrase, “I found this on Google, Pinterest, and blah blah blah.” Either, as you mentioned, they’d say, “it's not your footage,” or the thief would just block me. Well, at some point, I stopped trying to figure out how to sort things out. Now, if I see that someone is stealing my gifs, I just immediately block that person. I’m tired of wasting my time explaining to reposters how wrong it is to steal someone’s gifs. They’ve never created any unique content, and they just don’t get it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have stolen the gifs. These people just don’t respect other people’s work.

It’s not a bad idea to use a watermark. Many gifmakers do it. I even made one for myself, but I decided not to use it yet. I’m not sure how to put this, but a watermark can kind of ruin the aesthetics of a gifset for me, you know? But that’s just my opinion, though. Maybe I’ll start to add watermarks to my gifs someday too. Or I’ll just stop doing anything.

As for Twitter, I’ve never tried to dispute anything there because I’m an extremely rare guest on the platform. But I’ve seen my gifs, a lot of my gifs there, and it makes my eye twitch.
