Book anon here to say today is a happy day because it is dk and vernon day ^0^ the fact they share bdays makes my heart so big like djakdnaks that's the best thing really! (I say this as I don't like celebrating my own birthday lol but that shiz makes me soft) like how can it not get better than sharing a birthday with your fellow bandmate who is also your buddy :'))

Back on topic, I am happy that in the fandoms I'm in, update blogs or accounts are well loved so no drama there but I agree on cc peeps, my gosh the decline of them is obvious for the past 2 years =/ I remember 2018 the carat fandom here was HUGE with creators and lots of notes but now...its hard to see more than 200 for some and while numbers don't matter because you should ALWAYS be doing this for fun, its so shocking to see the interaction go so low and its more likes. I do have a theory as to why this is the case and it might be due to nowadays, people on Tumblr find reblogging alot to be "too much" akaspamming. I would know because some told me I do this and I'm like ??? I am simply reblogging content I like and if it means hitting the rbelog limit so be it djajdjw. Legit idk why its seen as bad nowadays when everyone used to reblog alot and no one complained so maybe this could be why? Again a theory but it would make sense and its a shame if this is the case :c I admit I like stuff because I sometimes do reblog it for a color theme but mostly I hit the reblog limit so I want to reblog it later xD

But let's not get into people that take others work as their own -.- now I get giving credit for say icons (I do this for icons and headers I use because its the least I can do. I would link it but idk how to do it on Tumblr lol) but taking someone's say gif and just posting it on twitter to share is like ??? You do know there is a share button that SHARES THE ORIGINAL LINK BACK RIGHT? Smh i can't with people. That's why I try to make sure for icons at least I know its not a repost and try to stay away from pintrest as best as I can (also svt on pintrest? Are they making moodboards or smth? I leave Tumblr for a bit and this is what I come back to lol)

Oof I wrote too much again sjamdna I'm living up to my emoji huh? XD but yes my tooth is better! It hurt again last night but today we are good!

I'm late answering this but yeah the fact that dk and vernon share a Birthday is super sweet! it's fun that they get to do their birthday live together as well ^^

but yeah i joined carat tumblr around late 2017/early 2018 (i made this side blog during oh my era but I'd been reblogging svt stuff on main before then) and I'm p sure most if not all the cc's i originally followed are inactive now :( obviously like you said content creators should make content for fun and bc they want to and not for the notes, but it's understandably disheartening when less people are interacting with it and even the people who do still see your content are (at least seemingly) less enthusiastic about it (ie liking but not reblogging it, less ppl writing things in the tags or replies, etc.)

but that's so wild to me? I've never heard anyone say someone is reblogging too many things like... how do you expect to see posts if people don't reblog stuff?? id welcome that extra content on my dash dhfjfh. i guess you can go in specific tags but like. idk reblogging is the main function of tumblr i don't know why there are people sort of against it/not as willing to use it (i mean... i suspect at least one factor is other social media platforms relying more on algorithms and likes to show people new content and ppl are just more used to that maybe?)

i feel like to some extent people feel entitled to have every or any gif or fanart or fan content on their platform of choice, but like if an artist posts something on tumblr but not on twt or instagram it doesn't HAVE to be on twt or insta. people can make a tumblr (or whatever platform) account if that's the only place a creator is active and they really want to see their content. and if people want to share something cool to another platform it is not hard to just post a link to the original post and tell people to check it out. like i do that every once in a while if there's a translation that doesn't allow reposts, but i still want ppl to know that trans exists if they wouldn't normally. and yeah!! you're gonna get less engagement that way!! but that's when you need to question whether your intention is really to share something cool w people who wouldn't normally see it or if you just want clout from this cool thing for yourself

and obviously not everyone who reposts things wo credit or permission has such innocent intentions as "i want to share this cool thing" but i think in a lot of cases it is something similar to that where ppl see something and they want to use it or share it for whatever reason and they just forget that it's something an actual person took the time to create and chose to share it. fan creations, unless otherwise specified, are not like memes in that they're intended to be shared and edited and copied to hell and back

but yeah pinterest is the worst in terms of reposts. like very little if any of the content on there (at least that's fandom related) is original content. the vast majority is reposts from other platforms without credit. a few weeks ago i saw someone on twt post like an old SVT photo or something and someone asked where it was from and they were like 'idk i saw it on pinterest' and when i tell u my blood boiled dhfkfj like!! ok!! so you're reposting a repost and u have no idea what the original source is... great

but yeah i have no idea what SVT is gonna do with pinterest... guessing it's just gonna be pledis posting official/behind photos that they also post on twt anyway. it really looks like it's something bh made them create given other bhl artists also have pinterests they're all following each other. also pledis didn't even officially announce the new account opening anywhere as far as I've seen so like. i think they really don't care dhfkfj

i really don't know what bh thinks they're gonna gain though like. ik there are active fandom pinterest users but i think most of them also have other social media like twt or insta. like they're not cracking open a huge new market, and LITERALLY NO ONE expects any musician or celeb to have an official Pinterest so. it's just so unnecessary dhfkgj

I'm glad your tooth is feeling better!!!

something has been bothering me lately and i’ve never really used this blog in the last 6 years to complain really or, like, at least in the past 2 years, but ugh, im just so annoyed.

now the thing is, i love the skam fandom. it’s probably been my favorite one to be apart out of the shit ton i’ve been apart of in the past 6 years, but it’s also very annoying.

im really getting tired of either everything i make being used to make something else or to be completely reposted.

like i really can’t make a compilation video w/o it being reposted w/o credit on twitter and tumblr in the 5 minutes after it’s posted. now i know compilation videos aren’t something im like slaving over all day trying to perfect like my fanvids, but, like my ass still takes an hour to sift through 10 episodes of a season to get either “every time blah blah happens” or what have you. and even if i post an ugly tacky watermark on it, it still gets reposted as if reblogging and retweeting do not exist. when people do this, i can’t help but feel their only intention is to get notes/likes. they’re not doing it bc they just “had to share this w/ my followers” they see it, are mad they didn’t do it, and think they have the right to just right click and save video??? like what the fuck.

and then lately, people have been taking my “isak & even | the infinite” video and been using it to create other things. like that is better than completely reposting (which someone did on twitter when you can so easily just share a fucking youtube link, but no one’s gonna retweet that!) but. still. like someone literally taking the video and creating not one, but two gifsets with it. they didn’t credit the coloring to the person that i so easily credited in the description of my video, but also like. the “slowness” of those gifs that people liked were due to my editing. i chose the speed, where it started and ended, and i had to wait the extra hour to hour and a half for it to render at 25 fps so it comes out as smooth as possible. and she apologized and deleted the gifsets, but tumblr still doesn’t delete the reblogs as well which is stupid so the posts can still be easily seen.

and then today i go on vine (rip) and see not one, not two, but three different edits by the same person using the video to make their own edits, thankfully with different music, but STILL!!! they didn’t credit the person who colored, and again with the smooth af slomo that i made look nice is in those edits. and i know this probably seems like the most tiniest of problems that i could have, and it lowkey is, but it just. it hurts. it hurts me that people are taking the credit for a coloring they didn’t make instead of giving it to the person who made that sick ass coloring. and it sucks that these people can’t make their own edits w/o using other peoples hardwork. they would rather steal someone’s video to use than learn to edit themselves. like my ass wasn’t born with editing skills, i had to learn and practice. i’ve been editing since i was like. literally 12. and im 20 now. my ass was even using windows movie maker until like 2 years ago, and now i feel like a good editor in my eyes. i watched tutorials and practiced a lot. and thanks to vine, as people think its a joke that people care that its ending, but really if i didn’t practice making 6 second edits, my skills would still be in windows movie maker.

anyways this was a rant no one wanted to hear. and that no one should really care about. sorry for the long post.

#long post #IM JUST #annoyed #i read this and see how minuscule this is but i just hate when people take advantage of other peoples work
