(this blog is still an archive but i figured more people would see this post if it was on here)
// warning: it’s a long post //
so i’m angry and tired because i know other people have talked about this but it’s still happening so i’m saying it again:
STOP. REPOSTING. OUR. GIFS. AND. EDITS. ON. INSTAGRAM.
so these were all found in the mcrollins tag on instagram but don’t be fooled, this happens with other ships too and in the h50 tag.
so as you can see these were originally made by @ninety-threepercentstardust @tailoredshirt @beautifulwhensarcastic @ibysaurus @acceptanceispending and myself. not a single one of them was credited.
then there’s the people who somehow think someone’s edit is their playground or something, and add things of their own
(the irony of them adding their instagram url on top is just mindblowing)
like i don’t care if you found it on google or whatever, but it’s obvious the bottom right one was already editing by someone else, come on
a collage of multiple edits by @tailoredshirt i guess
point is, don’t do this. please.
why, you ask? well for one you’re stealing someone else’s work that put time and energy in and pretending it’s yours, which is not cool. also making screencaps of gifs kind of destroy the whole point of them being gifs but whatever i guess. plus instagram destroys the quality of edits half the time so it’s really not a good place to post these on anyway. and honestly what bugs me personally the most is that the actual maker of these things has no idea that people might like their thing. let’s look at this example:
my post, on tumblr:
29 notes, that’s it. it’s depressing tbh, doesn’t make me want to make edits again.
but the instagram repost (with credit i have to add, but still, it’s a repost):
707 likes?????
that’s a gigantic difference
and this is just one example that i’m actually aware of but my edits could be getting this amount of likes and i have no. fucking. clue.
what does this mean then? well that i think people don’t like my edits when it’s not the truth at all.
so please please PLEASE stop reposting. tweet links to tumblr post, make a tumblr yourself so you can reblog/like things, tell creators you like their edits, etc.
tfw you want to call out someone in fandom but you know it’s pointless because they’ll ignore your valid points that you’ve repeated over and over again and their friends will attack you and try to make you feel like shit but you’re just so so tired of seeing the damn same thing happening and it makes you sick and you decide to just keep hating 99% of this fandom and sulk in your corner alone and tell yourself you’re doing the right thing because posting will only bring you more shit and make you want to kill yourself or something
eeeeeeeeep! so darn cute! <333 and his mouth is covered in chocolate. I bet that both the kid and Cath have the tendency to deny they've been eating chocolate, though their mouths are covered in proof :P
yeeeeeeees :D :D
sometimes steve catches them together, two pair of identical brown eyes looking at him and they deny everything. steve just smiles fondly <333
