Tutorial: How to Embed Gifs (and get the one you actually want from the set)

There have probably been posts about this before, but since reposting is still a (deeply unfortunate) thing, I figured I'd give this a shot in case it's not a well known trick.

The tumblr Gif tool will allow you to embed gifs directly into your post without saving and re-uploading (reposting) someone else's work.

When you're building your post, just use the yellow GIF icon in the post builder:

You can search here by tag or keyword. If you happen to know one of the tags used on the original post you're looking for, that can narrow things down:

To narrow down to a SPECIFIC post, you can also paste the URL into the search field. This will pull up the very first gif in that set:

If you select that gif, it will pop into your post with a credit and link back to the OP (specifically back to the OPs post with that gif in it):

This is a properly attributed gif embed. The credit on the bottom right points back to the original post:*

Often, the first gif is not actually the one you want to embed, but there is a way to swap the image out for the one you want without losing the source attribution.

*It's helpful to put some reference text near your initial embed so you're able to swap the right image out later on. For this post, I'm going to use that short block right above the embedded gif as a reference.

In another tab/window, go to the OPs post and find the actual gif you want to embed from their set. Right click the image and Copy Image Address:

Once you have the URL copied, go back to your post and scroll to the gear icon at the top:

Open that menu and in the dropdown, where it says Text Editor, swap Rich Text to HTML:

Your post will turn into a bunch of code once you do this. Don't worry, we will change it back.

For this post, I put reference text above that first embedded gif so I could easily find the URLs I need once it becomes HTML. This is super helpful if you're embedding more than one gif. The reference text is highlighted below. This indicated the block that my currently embedded gif lives in:

In order to swap the first gif out for one that's later in the set, you just need to replace the SRC gifv and SRCSET gifv URLs with the image address you copied:

Once you've pasted the image address into these spots, you can go back to the gear icon and switch the Text Editor back to Rich Text:

Your post should return to it's previous, glorious state, but instead of the first gif embedded, you should now see the one you actually want from the set. The credit and source attribution back to the OPs post should remain intact on the bottom right:

This might seem super complicated at first, but it's pretty straightforward once you've tried it, and also a lot less frustrating for gif makers to see this than seeing our stuff just get reposted.

Anyway... If you found the gifs outside of tumblr or you didn't make them yourself, don't save and re-upload (aka. repost) them to tumblr, 'cause someone probably stole them from here to begin with and that's not cool. Search the tags and find the ones you want. Reblog from gif makers. If you want to embed a single gif from a set, try to do it this way, or minimally, credit the person you took it from.

I DID IT OMFGGGGG

[french-vanilla-in-the-clouds]

𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫

✮ ⋆ ˚｡𖦹 ⋆｡°✩

⋆｡𖦹°‧★ You caught his eye one day, and he never looked away. He might be polished under the glare of studio lights, but when you’re together, there’s no filter that can erase his devotion for you.

⋆｡𖦹°‧★ The secrecy has always been about protecting his image. Unless you're a first-rate supe, your tryst would crack the illusion he’s built. “They wouldn’t understand,” he said once, tracing lazy circles on your wrist. “They want somebody bulletproof, not a lapdog.”

⋆｡𖦹°‧★ Once, Ashley walked in without knocking. You were lying under him, sheets tangled. Homelander didn’t flinch. He just turned his head and smiled that bright, boyish smile that made the crowds holler. “Hey, Ashley! Do you mind?” he said. She stammered, face pale, but his tone never shifted. “Word gets out, I’ll pop your eyes out with my thumbs. Okay?” When the door slammed shut, he just laughed softly and brushed a kiss to your temple. “See? Problem solved.”

⋆｡𖦹°‧★ He’s always charming and pleasant to talk to. He’ll brush your hair behind your ear with fingers that have snapped bones before. “You know how special you are to me, right?” he’ll say. He's tender so long as you keep on his good side.

⋆｡𖦹°‧★ He loves asserting his control. For dates, he'll decide the time, place, and length of your meeting. “Can’t have you calling the shots, sweetheart,” he says with that soft, smug grin that makes your pulse spike. It's a facade, though. Call the shots, and you'll have him wrapped around your finger.

⋆｡𖦹°‧★ He spoils you with expensive gifts. He finds patriotism romantic and is sure that every token is red, white, blue, or flashing a national emblem.

⋆｡𖦹°‧★ Sometimes he hovers outside your window at night, just to watch you sleep. You never see him, but can feel his eyes. If you bring it up, he'll just tilt his head, amused. “Guess you’re just dreaming about me, huh?”

⋆｡𖦹°‧★ The man is starved for love. Show him your heart, and he's yours. Loyalty is fundamental, so expect him to stand behind you always.

────────⊳⋆⊲────────

Tell him he's your national anthem.

random PSA, I know a lot of people use duckduckgo as a Google alternative search engine, but it always kind of annoyed me when I was using it because it felt like No Name Brand Google

I have switched to using Startpage.com and vastly prefer it. for one thing, instead of displaying an "AI summary" at the top of the search results (unless you turn it off, yes I know), it displays the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article, with link, whenever it finds one that's relevant.

also a waaayyyyy better sense of design than duckduckgo

also private, European based, least annoying search I've used lately (RIP old "don't be evil" Google)

[yomikoreadsbooks]

Keeping a list of Google alternatives just in case…

[saxifraga-x-urbium]

i have one of those, scraped from multiple different rec posts:

Search Engines

Infinity Search is an alternative search engine with a special focus on privacy

DuckDuckGo is a popular search engine for those who value their privacy and are put off by the thought of their every query being tracked and logged. Uses bangs, ![site] for in-page search (sells your data to microsoft and draws from fucking bing)

WolframAlpha is a privately owned search engine that allows you to “compute expert-level answers using Wolfram’s breakthrough algorithms, knowledgebase, and AI technology.” A data search engine.

Boardreader is a search engine for forums and message boards. It allows you to search forums and then filter down results by date and language.

Based in France, Qwant is a privacy-based search engine that won’t record your searches or use your personal details for advertising. Uses “&” as a bang search.

Another privacy-based search engine is Search Encrypt, which uses local encryption to ensure that users’ identifiable information cannot be tracked. Metasearch across multiple engines. 

Offering unbiased results from several sources, SearX is a metasearch engine that aims to present a free, decentralized view of the internet. Can be self-hosted. 

Gibiru’s tagline is “Unfiltered private search” and that’s exactly what it offers. Requires AnonymoX Firefox add-on for privacy. 

Disconnect allows you to conduct anonymous searches through a search engine of your choice.

Swisscows provides fully encrypted searches to protect your privacy and security. Built-in violence/porn filter cannot be overridden. 

MetaGer offers “Privacy Protected Search & Find” through its anonymised search. A plugin will allow it to be made a default.

Gigablast is a private search engine that indexes millions of websites and servers real-time information without tracking your data, keeping you hidden from marketers and spammers. Variety of filtration and refinement options for searching. 

Oscobo is a search engine that protects your privacy while you search the web. By not using any third-party tools or scripts, your data is protected from hacking and misuse. Has a Chrome extension to allow use in toolbar. 

https://search.marginalia.nu/ an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed. Use old-school searching rather than query-based for the best results. 

https://www.mojeek.com/ 

https://wiby.me/ - It’s goal is to index as many personalized websites as possible, and NOT commercial sites. 

https://4get.ca/ it works a lot like SearX, but honestly better. It doesn’t have its own index, but pulls from many others. I think it’s the best for research, since it allows you to search for answers from different indexes, is easy to configure, add free, and avoids censorship as much as it can.

https://www.searchenginemap.com/ for more on how search engines relate to each other.

https://yep.com/ is a crawler

https://www.etools.ch/ retrieves from Google, Mojeek, Bing, and Yandex, like Searx

Hello!! I absolutely love Maisie’s work!! Her new album is just *chef’s kiss*!!

I’m wondering if you happen to know of any other artists like her? Like with a similar style?

Thank you! 💞💞

hello!!!! ISNT IT JUST FUCKING AMAZING SHOWSTOPPING INCREDIBLE!!!!!! i am so fucking obsessed with this record, its just so. everything i ever wanted in an album about finding a lasting romantic relationship with a man. you are so sweet for asking me this, i dont think i have great music taste but i will try my best to do this ask justice 🩷🩷🩷🩷

i am not sure what you are thinking of when you say similar style because there are several artists i can think of when i try to answer your question but they are all wildly different genres. so this is going to be a little all over the place.

first, i think you check out hannah brier. i am going to say she reminds me of maisie but thats really not true. she has a fantastic songwriting ability that is so fun to sing along to. my favorite song by her is violet, start with that one first. she doesnt have a lot of songs released and she kind of stopped making music a few years ago i think but i am delusional enough to think if i mention her enough on here, i can singlehandedly make her start making songs again by making enough tumblrinas interested in her songs. her style is more like pop but in a musical theater way almost? idk its very upbeat melodies paired with heartbreaking lyrics a lot of the time, which is what i find in maisies work a lot. but i had to promote my girl because i really really really love her song violet.

second, i think maisie said she was heavily inspired by all time low a while ago and i have ALWAYS THOUGHT she might be a fan of theirs because you can really see the influence their songwriting has had on maisies songwriting. more in terms of lyricism because they are a pop rock band and she doesnt do that genre usually. but if you want some one more similar in terms of her lyricism. i would start with them since she brought them up herself recently as an inspo to her career. songs to check out: somewhere in neverland, dirty laundry, no idea, weightless, break your little heart, suckerpunch, sleepwalking

in that vein, i think the maine has a similar type of songwriting, especially in their later albums as they are more chill in sound than their earlier albums which are like emo punk from the mid 2000s. however their lyricism is actually quite similar to maisie, in that they focus on self work and growth a lot in their records especially their later albums. songs to check out: get it back, die to fall, right girl, kennedy curse, sticky, april 7th, unlost, diet soda society, misery, some days, my heroine, thinking of you, my best habit

other artists that are more like acoustic sounding in genre: gabrielle aplin (her song human is one of my favorites id start there and then listen to either english rain or dear happy), lizzie mcalpine (five seconds flat is a great album to start with), noah kahan is newer but i love his sound and lyricism as well plus maisie did cover stick season by him so.

other honorable mentions: symphony soldier by the cab is a fantastic album and more poppy but the lyricism is fun and unhinged like maisie can be, gracie abrams is more soft pop but i cant handle her whisper singing for too long so i only listen in small doses, fall out boy has really similar type of lyricism but they are again rock band so idk if ur looking for rec on similar sound to florescence or just similar vibes to maisie in general, carly rae jepsen sounds similar to me but idk if you would agree with that they both have a huge focus on lyricism and often say things in a way that is brutally honest in the best way possible, sara bareilles is also someone i know maisie has mentioned before and they do have a similar pop sound i love her song king of anything but kaleidoscope heart is a great album overall.

this is sooo long but um i hope i gave you recommendations you didnt already know about and i hope you like something from this list of craziness lol. if you check these people out and youre like "what is she smoking" youre always welcome to come back and tell me that and ask for different recs!!!!!!

hope this helps 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
