I'm honestly not sure how you could have missed the fact that ravewood was a reposter? People have talked about it extensively, and the art they reposted never matched their url. If you need me to do the labour for you, https://www.tumblr.com/genavere/724723129006604288?source=share here's your most recent offense.
https://www.tumblr.com/54prowl/696176793830506496/a-couple-of-things-i-check-to-know-if-the-person?source=share Here's a guide to take notes from, because the post I linked here has so many blatant signs of reposting that it's laughable.
Also it doesn't stop being art theft just because it's funny. If you're reblogging stolen work just because it makes you and other people happy, that's still art theft and it's still morally wrong. If your fics that you worked hard on were reposted without credit, I'm sure you wouldn't be too delighted with that.
I've given you the resources so please do better.
"If you need me to do the labour for you, https://www.tumblr.com/genavere/724723129006604288?source=share here's your most recent offense."
Remember how I said there was one that I was questionable on? Yeah, that was the one. It's has now been deleted. After you politely informed me it was indeed the one, I did a google search, couldn't find the original artist to credit, so I deleted it.
Did I do my diligence on it? No.
Why? It was posted in 2020 and I didn't do a deep dive of the blog. I don't check every account.
"I'm honestly not sure how you could have missed the fact that ravewood was a reposter? People have talked about it extensively, and the art they reposted never matched their url."
Ravewood was one of the first users I came across when I came back to tumblr last year and was looking for Fairy Tail content. After being on the platform again for a couple of months and getting my toes wet, that's when I took off my rose-colored glasses and realized what they were.
At that point in time, I knew no one in the fandom and was hungry.
An important note about people on the internet:
Not everyone is in the loop, not everyone is in social circles, and not everyone sees the warning posts right away, either.
Is it an excuse? Yes, and I acknowledge that and the mistakes I've made.
So, now that you have schooled me, thank you for doing the labor for me.
Here is also somethings from that blog you recommended, along with the link for anyone interested:
"Also it doesn't stop being art theft just because it's funny. If you're reblogging stolen work just because it makes you and other people happy, that's still art theft and it's still morally wrong."
Regarding when what I meant by making people happy: it's the memes.
Check out this funny video that I reblogged:
It was great fun watching that. The poor guy that is shaking, I felt sooo bad for him.
How about this one about the grandson of Ulysses S. Grant writing gay vampire fiction:
Lovely information about a gentleman who has defied social norms and prejudice to be with his husband for so long and to write what he is passionate about.
"...because the post I linked here has so many blatant signs of reposting that it's laughable."
"Please be more careful when you're reblogging fan art. On more than one occassion you've reblogged stolen fan art which gets spread around even more and that's so unfair to the artists."
If your original message had said:
"Hey, this one [link] that you reblogged is stolen, would you mind taking it down or crediting the artist?"
I would have been like:
"Oh shoot, sorry about that! Thank you for letting me know!" and taken it down. Would have been appreciative, even.
But you weren't.
Right out of the gate, you were standoffish. The tone felt like you said your piece and were not willing to have a conversation. Not willing to be helpful in letting me know which of the many stolen fanarts you accused me of.
That tone carries through into this ask.
Do I usually try to make sure I reblog credited art?
Yes, and as I learn more about how things should be, like trying to attach the original tags the person put, I adapt.
Do I always catch everything?
No, cause I am human and sometimes you just can't do better.
"If your fics that you worked hard on were reposted without credit, I'm sure you wouldn't be too delighted with that."
Would I be happy if my fics were reposted without credit?
No, cause I would like to know what people think of them and I would not be able to see if they enjoyed them or thought they were trash.
Has this happened?
Yes, and with original works, too. Happened to a book that I had self-published, which meant potential lost revenue.
Would I blame someone who reblogged from someone else it if I found out?
No. I would let them know that it had been reposted without my consent and ask if they could edit their post to give credit, or take it down and reblog mine.
"I've given you the resources so please do better."
You did give me a resource, which I appreciate.
But, please note, that you could do better, too. Kindness goes a long way, and is a far better teaching tool.
On a last note, how about this one I also reblogged:

DIRECTOR'S NOTE • Nov. 2023
You can't go home. This play has a particular
care for and interest in its victims. The resident
inciting event is endless. tragedy is much more
concerned with footnotes than it is with gods.
well acquainted with what happens afterward,
storytellers claim they can't diverge from what's
written: resist. rage against what must be.
tell a story about war without talking
about love. survive its aftermath. fail
to find resolution. make this suffering
a home. There's no breaking this chain—
fate, as always, gets its way.
Poetry assembled from the program of an Oresteia production. Nov. 2023.

There’s something horrifyingly beautiful about Tess’s final moments. In the midst of the most dire chaos, as she waits for her death to come rushing past so she can blow it sky high and give cordyceps a big fuck you one last time, one of the infected stops. It looks at her, really looks. Her own mortality is personified in this infected. It’s death that’s looking at her, and it sees her. She looks her own death in the eye, and the suspense is so high as it approaches. But then, it doesn’t bite her throat out like we all expect it to.
It kisses her. What’s more, it kisses her gently. And I think it was a brilliant choice on the writers part, because it reminded me that the infected aren’t supposed to be evil. Sure, they’re scary as hell, but really, they’re just trying to survive. They’re connected to one another, they can feel each other from miles away. They seek out and want to be close to their own kind, just like the human survivors do. And when they do find each other, they kiss hello.
And after so long apart from a loved one, someone you know and trust with every instinct in your body, wouldn’t you want to kiss them too?

you are being challenged to draw your muse/fave/blorbo/whoever in your own clothes!!!!
The point is to draw them wearing whatever you are wearing at the moment: your pajamas, your swimsuit, your winter clothes, your weekend clothes, your laundry day outfit, your best date outfit, your school clothes, your everyday wear, whatever!!
Here's my drawing to start off the ball:
Reblog with your addition, make your own posts, challenge your friends through tagging or their askbox, re-challenge them a second time!! Heck, go request an occasion-specific outfit and a character to inspire someone! All levels welcome, go trace an official art or manga panel, have fun!! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
