I make note of this on my pinned post but just as a reminder or for people who haven't seen:

I soft-block anyone who doesn't have an avatar/has an empty blog (moreso the empty blogs). So if you have followed me and found yourself not following me anymore, this is the reason why.

I know some folks like lurking, but reblog some stuff at the very least. Tumblr doesn't work like other sites where they push a ton of random posts at you, so you need to make an effort to reblog the things you like for others to see it.

Mahou Shoujo Ladybug

This ended up looking like an anti-repost poster lol. Magical Girl Ladybug battling art theft like:

In the daytime, I’m Marinette

Just a normal girl with a normal life

But if you steal art, you better bet

I’ll fill your life with endless strife

When I find people editing/cropping out my signature and watermarks.

Someone trying to edit out watermarks and failing miserably

Here is a lovely example of someone trying to edit out @princess-sakura-serenity‘s watermark on her dub of my comic.

Are you even trying bro?

This last one is my favorite because they didn’t edit out my watermarks in all of the panels so some of them still have my bunny bat and warning at the top. Just ?????

Don’t repost

You make Adrien sad.

Hey I really like your Art, I don't mean to be disrespectful but could you please not put the words or symbol "please do not repost" into your Art, it just beeaks/ruins the immersion of the Pictures especially if you paste it in every frame in a Comic thinking people are too dumb to be reminded once, I mean just think how annoying it would be if that was put in the Mona Lisa or every frame of a Marvel or DC Comic Book Page. Again I mean no disrespect, but this really annoys me and fells rude.

The watermarks are there for a reason. Art theft is inevitable and at least with the watermark, people will know where to find me and will know my policy. It’s placed in every panel because some people steal my art, crop it and upload it panel by panel. If my watermarks annoy you and you think it’s rude, look elsewhere. I do not get paid to draw. Please rid yourself of any notion that it’s okay to approach a content creator and tell them what they can and can’t do in regards to their own creations, especially when they spend their time and energy to share these creations for free.

I spent a good few days working on that MariChat comic only to get this message not long after I posted it. Don’t think that if you start off by saying “I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but…” or “No offense, but…” that your proceeding words will be okay. You essentially asked that I get rid of the watermarks that I have in place for my protection so that you could have a better experience. It doesn’t matter to you if people steal my art with no trace back to me. All that matters is your comfort. This is hardly the first instance of entitlement I’ve seen in this fandom, but it’s still appalling every time I encounter it.

No disrespect, but this really annoys me and is* rude.
