reblogging = sharing; clicking this button. it is GOOD.

reposting = making a new post; clicking this button. it is BAD.

please reblog (share) this, I feel like people sometimes don’t know what “do not repost” means

@fionapangkitty Okay, let’s break down what to do if you have an image you want on your blog but don’t remember the source!

1. If you find images on tumblr: you should reblog images that you like when you see them. Tumblr makes sharing things really easy, just hit the arrow button! 

2. If you found an image too long ago to remember the original source: it’s probably not a good idea to post it again just because you want it on your blog. Keep it in your personal image folder. 

3. If you find images on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc: make an account on that website and like and retweet. If there is some kind of sharing feature (like on Facebook you can click “Share”), you can do that too. If you look for art on a different website, you should have an account on that website. Many other websites are not meant for sharing like tumblr is, so if there isn’t a handy sharing feature, you probably shouldn’t upload other people’s work. And most times, an artist on Twitter might also have a tumblr, so check that they haven’t already posted something here (where you can easily reblog it!).

If you don’t want to make an account on those other websites? Don’t post the thing. It’s not your right to have another person’s art on your blog, especially if you don’t link back to the original post & artist.

There have been excellent artists driven from this fandom because they were sick of people reposting their hard work. Please don’t repost so we can keep seeing awesome art!
