Shoutout To Everyone Who Wants To Infodump But Cant String Together Coherent Thoughts To Form Sentences

this is best defense system in the smp at this point

Art theft has always been bad, but I feel like the way tiktok promotes remixing other people’s content into “your own” has ESPECIALLY proliferated the idea that, if something is on the internet, it’s anyone’s to take.

like. My friend just found these comments on a tiktok someone made of their comic:

This is why I don’t allow reposts. Because even if I give one person permission, even if they credit me and do everything I ask, you never know who is going to steal it from them.

So here’s your reminder:

If you see fanart or a fancomic you like, you ABSOLUTELY MAY NOT share it without checking if it’s ok first.

IF YOU RUN A FAN ACCOUNT. I’M LOOKING AT YOU. YOU’RE NOT HELPING ‘EXPOSE’ ARTISTS BY POSTING STOLEN ART YOU’RE JUST BEING SELFISH AND DISRESPECTFUL. @‘ING ME ON INSTAGRAM ISN’T GOING TO FIX THE FACT THAT YOU DIDN’T ASK PERMISSION

THIS GOES FOR TRANSLATIONS. I UNDERSTAND WANTING TO MAKE A COMIC MORE ACCESSIBLE TO YOUR LANGUAGE, BUT IT’S STILL A CONCERN THAT IT WILL GET STOLEN FROM YOU (and I KNOW some people don’t ACTUALLY care about it being more accessible, because I’ve asked people to reblog my original post with a translated transcription and they threw a fit because they obviously just wanted the views for their own page)

Comic dubbers are also not exempt from needing to ask for permission. I know there’s a lot of editing and you are technically producing new content, but jfc you still need to ASK TO USE SOMEONE’S ART. ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE MONETIZING YOUR PAGE.

I also DO NOT CARE if your pinterest page is “just for your personal reference” STOP UPLOADING ARTWORK AS ORIGINAL POSTS. IF YOU MUST PIN ART, JUST POST THE LINK!!!! I die a little inside every time someone says they saw one of my comics on pinterest and had a hard time finding my actual post.

Why is it important that artists stay credited? Well, I for one, am about to start my junior year of my BFA, and I won’t be able to work my part-time job anymore. My art is going to be only source of income. Every time someone reposts my art without credit, that’s more people that won’t find the link to my store. That’s potential job recruiters that won’t find my portfolio. That’s work that I’ve done that someone else is getting activity for, potentially even making money off of.

Please, PLEASE be aware of art theft. Point it out when you see it. Please understand most artists see it as offensive and disrespectful and are not flattered by it.

ppl who celebrate fictional character birthdays are annoying pass it on

Just a reminder, every character has their own warped view of Wilbur because Wilbur didn’t talk to anyone about his problems. All they saw was the outcome, not the input. The closest a character has come to understanding Wilbur is Tommy because Tommy stuck around Wilbur, and even he likely doesn’t have the full story.

Niki does not have the full context for Wilbur’s character, do not take her word as gospel.

Quackity does not have the full context for Wilbur’s character, do not take his word as gospel.

Ranboo does not have the full context for Wilbur’s character, do not take his word as gospel.

Tommy does not even have the full context for Wilbur’s character, do not take his word as gospel.

Do not 👏 take 👏 other 👏 character’s 👏 limited 👏 views 👏 as 👏 gospel 👏

lord forgive me, im back on my undertale voice acting bullshit

Tubbo’s not at fault for not opening up about his trauma but Tommy isn’t at fault for not knowing Tubbo has that trauma and assuming he has thicker skin unknowingly because Tubbo’s coping mechanism is repression. 

They are both hurt and traumatized but neither of them is purposefully ignoring the other’s trauma 

I am artblocked so I did this lil poster thing
