Alright intro:

This is mostly a roleplay-resource gif-making blog. I may reblog other things here relating to the faces I gif, so keep that in mind.

I am 100% open to people reblogging and using my gifs. I enjoy making them, and I want people to enjoy using them.

I am open to requests, but I make no promises. All I have is a smartphone, no laptop or tablet, so things gotta stay basic. My DMs are open if you wanna ask for anything. Thanks^^

we need to bring back old school tumblr communication and im so serious. sending an ask to a mutual just to say hello. seeing three different asks in your inbox all asking how your dentist appointment went. seeing a post you think one of your mutuals would enjoy and tagging them/sending it to them in the dms. nowadays its just silently liking a post or (if youre feeling extreme) replying under posts. WHAT HAPPENED TO US!! we used to be a proper community!!!! #LetsBringWhimsyBack

Okay guys, we're gonna have a chat because I can't hold my tongue anymore.

See this guy here?

This is Nathan Sharp, Nathan Smith, Natewantstobattle.... I don't care what you call him. Doesn't matter. What matters is that he's a great person with a good heart, and I'm tired of seeing people try to force him into talking about things he doesn't want to comment on.

He is a musician and content creator(streamer). He tried hard to keep up with chat and acknowledge his audience. As such though, he gets to CHOOSE what he puts out there for the world to see, and as a whole, his choice is to put out things that reach people's souls. He puts out content that shows people they aren't alone in their struggle. Hell, his music gave me the courage to save myself....as I'm sure it did for some of you.

Those of you trying to push him to talk on his stances politically, need to take a damn chill pill. He isn't using his art as a platform as a lot of artists do today, and I think that is something amazing and special. Something that should be praised.

His opinions are his own. They don't have to be put under a microscope. You wouldn't like it if someone tried to force you into some political agenda whether you agreed with it or not.

You would want it to be your choice, what you spoke out on and what you didn't.

Give him the same common courtesy.

I think sometimes we forget that celebrities, no matter how much they try to reach a personal level with their fanbase, are people too. He is human. He doesn't have to fit into your box of what an entertainer should be.

Give it a rest. Let him be.

it's so deeply exhausting watching people casually treat gifmakers like they're robots built to pump out content for a fandom on demand. reposters will see a gifset on their dash and act like it just appeared out of thin air with a single click of a button, having absolutely zero understanding of the actual time and effort it takes to create them.

gifmakers do this entirely for free.99 just because they genuinely love the media and want to share with the community. they are quite literally the main backbone keeping fandoms alive yet they get met with the most blatant disrespect. people will see something that took real labor to make, save the files, and shamelessly repost them to twitter or even to their own blog here on tumblr. then the second they get called out for stealing, they wanna get defensive and drop that tired "you don't own this media" line. like obviously nobody owns the source material but the actual time spent downloading/recording a video, sharpening, and meticulously coloring all those frames does belong to the gifmaker.

people will casually drain a gifmaker's energy and completely take advantage of their labor for their own engagement and that parasitic, entitled attitude is exactly why so many gifmakers just shut down their blogs or quit gifmaking entirely. people want to treat creators like a drive thru where they can just take what they want and go instead of treating them like actual humans and then get shocked when the whole fandom goes dry because they drove away the only people actually keeping the lights on.
