I’ve recently gotten a message from a very angry person (who I blocked because I’m not dealing with drama on freakin’ Tumblr) about the fanart I’ve posted, accusing me of stealing and threatening to report me. Before I go any further, I’d like to say, that is never my intention. I give credit when I can. It’s been brought to my attention that you can Google with the photo? I’ve been told how to do that and I’m getting on that, as soon as I can.
(Also: A while back, I posted a fanart and the artist contacted me and told me they didn’t want it here, so I took it down. I just didn’t say anything because it wasn’t a big deal. They didn’t want it up, so I made sure it wasn’t. [If you’re an artist and see one of my posts that you don’t want up, just tell me. I’m not gonna be an ass and keep it up. It will be taken down immediately.] {I do try to ask permission, but sometimes it’s difficult to contact them.})
I was told it would have at least been better to link the original. Sometimes I only reblogged it from someone else. There are times when I just can’t find it. Like I said, I’ve been working on it but it takes time and it’s not always something I have. I think I’ve made a textpost about this, before, but if not, here’s my main thing/bottom line.
If the title, artist or link to the original of the piece is listed as unknown, and you know it, please send me a message or an ask. I really feel like I’ve said this, before, but I can’t find the original textpost. Maybe that was before I actually tagged posts. Not sure.
I know this is long, and I’m sorry. I just thought it’d be important to get this out there and clear everything up for those of you who may be quietly upset.
I’m not upset about this, for those of you who are so kindly and sweetly concerned. That person doesn’t know me. They don’t know that I would never try and steal or be rude in any way like that. Unless you provoke me... then my claws are coming out and it’s not gonna be pretty but that’s a story for another day.
Thank you for reading this as far as you did, if you did. - Emrys
Update: Every fanart I’ve posted across all 3 of my blogs have been linked if I was able to. I believe there’s 1 or 2 that the links either wouldn’t show up or my browser was being a jerk.
