It matters not where I am, it matters more if I can find what I'm looking for here.
As for that, I'm not entirely sure.

they’ve repeatedly been disrespectful in not trying to put more convenient sourcing in their reposts and they constantly post these in the tags (which the way they’re posted they look like they might as well have no source)
they’ve also been reposting people from tumblr’s artwork with this lazy sourcing instead of just reblogging it
it’s incredibly rude to people that, you know, draw.
some more elaboration under the cut, sorry in advance for my autoplay.
sadly I can't access the original asks, they've deleted them fairly quickly or gave private responses.
they left an anonymous user the following message:

<<< Anonymous asked: (A heads-up when posting art from Pixiv and such, it's best to put the source as a link in the description, because it can easily get lost or looked over as a click through link and as such the original artist won't get the credit they deserve!)
Answer:
all of my posts use the source attribute that’s available in the tumblr interface and it shows up in the upper right hand corner.
it is fine that some people put links in the description, but i don’t like to add any description unless the artist themselves said something interesting, in which case i’ll translate it and add it.
i appreciate the sentiment, but it’s better if people learn to look for the source in the post (in the upper right corner) rather than me having to add it twice.

#ooc #i apologise but given that i'm the curator i get to decide how to present things =)
tumblr user komatsujo gave the following message
[5/25/2014 5:43:06 PM] Komatsu: Are you aware that a bunch of JP BD fanartists frequent tumblr and see what's posted to the Bravely Default fandom tag? Are you also aware that Tumblr Mobile doesn't actually show the Tumblr provided source-link? And so that it looks like you're reposting fanart without any kind of source or acknowledgement for the hard work that the JP fanartists have put in, possibly the same ones who are watching you post their work without credit? Please reconsider your methods of sourcing. Thank you!
to which Koma responded to me showing me this reply:
thank you for explaining and doing it non-anon. i’m not sure how to proceed just yet…
The mun continued to source with that inconvenient source method.
this sort of stuff is all over the bravely default tag, and the japanese above the image was an apology to japanese artists (honestly for me this feels like you really don't care that there's actual ARTISTS behind that artwork if you can't be assed to more visibly show their credit imo)
The tag updates fairly frequently, with at least something akin to 20-30 posts a day as a rough guestimate judging by how it moves on my personal; and both of those posts were fairly recent to each other.
I don't want this sort of behavior to really be enabled it's rude to artists and as an artist myself I'm deeply offended for my overseas peers.
Maybe these people are doujinshi-ka that are trying to make money off their work. Maybe these people have american audiences that want to see their work. (Personally, as an American that uses pixiv, I’ve used comment areas with the source to get to pixivs to rate/bookmark work. It’s accessible.) The thing is, not sourcing artwork at all or not sourcing it well enough that people can easily see these things separates the artist from their fanbase; their art now exists in a vacuum, sadly.
As for american artists (because people seem to like reposting this stuff to tumblr too)—Some of us are trying to make money off of our work. Some of us go to school to make money off our work. By doing THAT you’re stripping US of making a living—we can’t develop a brand for ourselves if our art is scattered around by careless people.
PERSONALLY? I see careless sourcing as an insult to the three years I’ve put into college education so far as a digital arts major. I’ve worked that long—and even longer, my mother was a freelance artist and I grew up exposed to the arts and wanting to be a professional since high school—and not to have some person remove my presence from my work.
Why wouldn’t you just reblog from the post that’s already on tumblr if you’re reposting tumblr artwork. It’s literally as easy as source-fishing for the artwork you’re looking for and reblogging it. Though, if you’re the sort of person that wants to repost because you don’t want a comment gucking up your ~aesthetic~, I bet you’re exactly the sort of person that removes artists comments, and creatives don’t really care for your ilk either.
I had a homestuck pieces eons ago that actually was a derivative of someone else’s t-shirt that they used for a cosplay that I did as a personal venture—I asked them for permission to do it and everything—but it got reposted, it got comments hacked off…and that’s where the credit to this original cosplayer went! It wasn’t my idea, and I wasn’t comfortable with people thinking it was my idea to begin with. Sometimes comments are very important and they can’t be things that are just lost because you don’t think they look pretty.
Also, a lot of those Japanese artists are indeed on Tumblr! They’re trying to reach out to their english-speaking audiences now, and they can see their art getting reposted without credit (or easily accessible credit). How do you think that makes them feel? And if you can’t even make a more accessible source, well, gee, you really aren’t sorry, aren’t you.
Please source your shit, be respectful to the people that make art. We’re not machines, we’re people with audiences that want to see our stuff and want to get to it without having to metaphorically hike uphill in a blizzard to do so.

Both hands and his face seemed to find their way into her hair. His nose was filled with the scent of a fresh breeze, and it was rather refreshing, honestly.
Hands were fixatedly moving around in the locks, running through them aimlessly. He was absolutely quiet, his eyes closed, half asleep, half meditative.
