-bothered by this grammatical error
Hey, I just want to be clear, though, if you’re still learning English, particularly as a second, third, so forth language, it’s okay if you screw stuff up. You’re trying, and that’s what matters here. Thank you for learning our language and bridging the language gap. That’s something that a lot of people are too scared/lazy to do. I’ve tried learning French, and new languages aren’t easy. You just go at the pace at which you need to go.
Also, no offense meant to anyone, this is just a vent.

I have unfortunately posted some other people’s art before, though I don’t remember all that I have done. (I think it was just the wings behind the bad poetry?) I’ve been trying to be more careful with this stuff, but I figured I’d reblog to spread the word. This stuff is important, and we need to be more respectful about this stuff. Sorry if I’ve thoughtlessly done this to people in the past.
but why is reposting BAD?
i thought i’d make an faq filled with every excuse in the book about reposting, for those who still don’t understand why it’s bad…or for people who don’t know what to say in retaliation to these! so here we go. 
first of all, an artist doesn’t even NEED to explain themselves. in the same way with someone who says “dude, make sure that soda is diet” or “please don’t tickle me”. they don’t want you to do it. you don’t need to test them by ignoring them. the reason doesn’t matter: it’s the person’s wish with THEIR things. if you had any respect for others, you’d just take it at that. 
BUT for some people, they don’t want to respect others at face value, and want their reason. (which, i might add, is rude.) so let’s get into that: 
but i’m giving you exposure! isn’t that good?
no. 
you’re not giving artists exposure. for people like myself, freelance artists, you’re hurting us. about a year ago, i sent my portfolio off to an indie game. in it, i had a piece of work that had been reposted (that i didn’t even know about). i was told much later that they “looked into it” and saw that my work was posted by someone else, which means now they have no idea who the artist was, and THEREFORE can’t be sure my work was legit. i lost a potential job to a repost. 
doesn’t matter if you say “i didn’t draw this”. sometimes, they don’t even look. they just look to see if it’s on any site other than your own. and that’s terrifying for artists. so don’t endanger our livelihood for instagram likes. 
besides, you’re not even giving exposure if you didn’t credit, cropped out the signature, or somehow made the resolution so low to where you can’t even see the signature. which brings me to…
but i credited you!
some people still don’t want it reposted even with credit. the last answer should show you one of the many reasons why. 
you’re dictating what i can/cannot put on my page! this is MY page!
and it’s MY art you posted. you can’t take something i did and do whatever you want with it. imagine if you took someones drawing, photocopied it, and spread it all around the town without their permission. they’d have every right to be angry, right?
but you posted it online, which means anyone can do anything with it. so if you don’t want it reposted, don’t post it online!
i have to post my art onto my websites to build a fanbase, something crucial to an artist. it shouldn’t be on ME to not post it in the first place, it should be on YOU to not repost it. you’re just echoing victim-blaming arguments. 
you’re basically saying “if you don’t want to be bullied, don’t exist.” which is a terrible thing to teach people, rather than “be nice and respectful towards others.” yes, i know our world isn’t perfect. but that’s no excuse to contribute to vile things. 
well i would be honored if someone reposted my art. and my friend doesn’t mind reposts, so why should you?
good for you! good for them! but did you know there’s more people in the world other than just you and your friend? we have wishes and feelings too, so you don’t get to project your own emotions onto what WE should be feeling as well. i love peaches. some people don’t like them. that doesn’t mean that now they have to eat peaches because i don’t mind them. 
what an artist creates automatically belongs to society, though. 
go steal the mona lisa and tell me how that works out. 
everyone can VIEW it, yes. artists want others to view their work! we just don’t want you to do stuff with it we asked you not to do. 
WELL THEN SPEAKING OF THAT, since i can’t put your work on redbubble and sell it for myself, why do you have an umbrella of the starry night?? huh?? you STOLE van gogh’s work! (yes people have legit said this to me) 
putting my work on items and selling it is totally illegal. van gogh’s work is owned by companies now, who have authorization to print it on things. and i’m just ONE freelance artist who is, you know, still alive and not giving permission to do that. you can’t compare a dead artist from the 1800s to a digital artist in 2017. apples to oranges, my dude.
well i SAID “credit to the artist” so i DID give you credit!
because saying “the artist” really tells people who i am and lets them visit my websites! thank you so much! 
but all sarcasm aside, that doesn’t do anything other than show you were too lazy to find the artist. same thing with “source: the internet” and “who drew this xD” or misspelling my url on purpose or putting the credit under a cut. OR cropping the image to cut off my signature! you didn’t give me credit. 
it wasn’t on the website i wanted it on! you should have more social media.
i’ll have the social media i want to have. not up to me to make more accounts on more things just so you won’t disrespect me. 
but i don’t remember where i got it. besides, i reposted SOOO much work and saved it all a long time ago. how can i find it now?
reverse google image search is so great.
also, if you didn’t know the artist, that’s a HUGE reason not to repost it in the first place!! you didn’t even know if it was okay since you never got to see their position on that!!
take down your video with stolen fan art. take down your entire fan art twitter account. i don’t care “how hard it was to save those images” or “how many views you have now”. you got all that attention from someone else’s hard work. searching for art will never be as hard as making it. if it were that easy, you’d be drawing all the art yourself. 
but i asked the artist and they didn’t say anything! i assumed it was okay. 
yeah, i feel you. it’s the same thing as when you ask your mom if you can borrow some money, she doesn’t answer, so you just steal it from her purse. no answer means the answer you want to hear, right?
wrong. don’t take “unresponsive” as a yes. that’s disgusting. 
well i honestly don’t care. artists are just selfish. i’ll repost their art if i want to, just to show them how much i hate their stance on reposting. and (insert another really edgy statement here from someone who only says things to get a rise out of people since their life is empty) 
one day you’re gonna come across an artist who has no chill and wants to sue, and can actually do it, since some people put their work under HEAVY copyright. and i’m gonna kick back in my chair with a nice capri sun and watch it all happen, since you have that kind of attitude towards people. 
yes, this whole thing seems a bit. well. “salty”, as some would put it. and i have every right to be irritated over this. all these questions are asking “WHY should i respect their wishes? give me a reason” or “but here is my excuse rather than just taking it down”. time after time, artists are villainized just for telling people not to repost. 
like i said, the artist not wanting you to repost it SHOULD be reason enough! we’re so tired of having to fight people just to have respect for our art. we have to deal with tracing constantly, so can you please take reposting off our plates? i know bad things will always happen, but that’s no reason to make it worse by contributing. 
artists are generously putting our art out there for free. if you want to keep seeing our art for free (btw we don’t HAVE to, all the big artists could just up and leave and go to patreon), maybe show us some respect? because we get pretty dejected when we see strangers getting attention from something we did, and it makes us want to remove everything we show you guys. you say “don’t post it then!” but would be mad if all fan art disappeared. 
if you want to keep the art, respect the artist making it. there’s a real person behind that drawing.

Interesting, and probably pretty accurate for most, but may I point out reading outside?
Like, I’m not saying op missed it or anything. I just wanted to bring it up. It’s the best. Seriously. I once read a few scenes of Fantastic Beasts sitting in a tree while waiting for my family.
Like, I get if you’re avoiding frostbite or keeping your book from the rain or hiding from a tornado or in jail, but in ideal weather, it’s awesome.
Sorry this is off topic. This post just reminded me of it. I haven’t been able to read many for-fun books in a few months, but I hope to get back to it as school wraps up.
But please, read in a tree some time.
Hogwarts houses and Books
Gryffindor: Reads sometimes, but really is more of a outdoors person
Ravenclaw: Read. Read. Read. Is literally reading so much. 
Hufflepuff : Reads a good amount, not so much but also still quite a bit.
Slytherin: Either reads almost a entire book in like three hours and is obsessed with reading for a week or doesn’t read for months, there is no in between.

I’ve always read where I try to see the world from characters’ perspectives. I really enjoy doing it, as it allows me to feel the emotions of it all a lot more. Problem is that this leads to books involving romance to be painful. Well, most things that I don’t experience lead to that, like if I’m reading from the view of someone with a good relationship with their siblings, or a parent-child relationship with mutual trust, or at times just a relationship in which they actually hang out with their friends. But it’s mostly romance. I know it’s not all that it’s made out to be, depending on who you ask, but that doesn’t mean that I won’t be curious about it. I’ve been in the shoes and eyes and minds of countless humans (if not real to our world,) and while heavily idealised, one can see, or I can see, anyway, that most people find love to be a good thing. So I’ve been there, hanging on a cliff over Tartarus, and rather than letting me drop alone, i fell with Percy. And while I haven’t finished the series, i stood there with Four/Tobias as he showed me his fears. And in my preteen years, I argued with a boy named Rollan constantly, though it was clear that there was something between us. I died in the arms of Marius, but lived to marry him in another character. I danced with the beast, and I kissed the frog, and I went to the ball, and I lost my voice to a sea witch. I’ve been hopelessly devoted to Danny Zuko, and I once read aloud a poem titled “ten things I hate about you.” And I know that that’s all dumb, but that’s what it takes for me to get the most out of a story. (I also try to sympathise with male roles, but I just generally relate more strongly to women). It’s just that in the end, I exit the character and have to recall that I’m just reading, and that I don’t actually lead a life like that. I keep the stories with me, but ultimately, if I want to really feel the world, I need to find my own life. I don’t think that jealousy is the word for it, but whenever a book character is ripped away from me, I do still feel the sad and longing. It just comes with acknowledgement that this story is not my story. I’m not in love. I’m watching other people be in love. I think it’s just the greed that comes with feeling something nice and knowing that you may never come in contact with it again. And generally, in the end, you’re just a person with a book, an overactive imagination, some emotional trauma, and a lot of awkwardness. For many, it’s considered embarrassing to obsess over a fictional character. But in theory, all we did was experience the work. Look, I don’t know. Sorry this was long. My point is, I don’t intend to actually marry... let’s say Harry Potter. I’m not actually into him. It’s just that I’ve tried to live through Ginny for a short period of time, and I have therefore felt but a fraction of what she did, but nevertheless long for it myself. Just... sorry. Again. I’m bad at explaining stuff.
“Pfft, as if! I’m not in love with [fictional character]. [Fictional character’s sig. other] is in love with [fictional character]. It’s just that I sometimes forget that I’m not [fictional character’s sig. other].”
