#and respect the boundaries of the creator.

[stimmy--cryptid]

got sent a tiktok where one of our gifs of ourselves was used in the thumbnail + beginning of the video. gentle reminder in case anyone sees this that we're all very uncomfortable with our homemade gifs, esp when it includes us in the video and isnt just of objects, being reuploaded off of tumblr at all :[ ty!!

-🥬

#esp without credit </3 pls dont put your @ over top of one of our homemade gifs #i dont feel too comfy with video/gifs of us being reuploaded off tumblr #we include that disclaimer in all of our homemade gif posts bc of this #ik a lot of people just like. take gifs off pinterest or off stimboards without bothering to check #this is just like a gentle plea to please check the sources on the gifs you use and to properly credit your gifs #theres more to say on this topic than a quick 1am tag rant on a post abt smth else #but theres a really big problem with not checking sources and not crediting within the stim community and especially off of tumblr #like people who just steal off of pinterset and google images and then say 'oh idk i saved this forever ago' or 'its from google' #not to be rude but also fully to be firm its so easy to credit your gifs and sources it takes us maybe 20 minutes at most to link a board #and its so easy when you go in with the intent to link it. just like the posts you download gifs from or open them in another tab #if youre using desktop firefox has such a quick extention to reverse image search and the results will pull up the original post+ #+or the tags on a post that used the same gif to make it so easy to find the original #if youre gonna make stimboards that include someone elses content #be it homemade gifs or gifs you made from someone elses video #or even gifs made of a third party video you downloaded off tumblr or pinterest or google images #you *need* to credit the creator #and respect the boundaries of the creator. #we make sure the stuff we upload on any blog isnt harmful at all. that animals in gifs are respected that creators arent awful that+ #+the video isnt made using generative ai. and like. not saying everyone has to go to those lengths. just that its doable and so easy #theres really no excuse to plagiarize and take a gif someone made of themselves and put your own url on it #even if you made the compilation its so easy to just *also* add the op's url + platform in somewhere else visible on the image #and its also so easy to like. go to the website google images is showing you for the image or reverse search the pinterest post #to make sure the creator is ok with their own video of themselves being posted on tiktok #:/ #not stim #mod talk

Currently it's late at night so this may not be as good as I'd like it to be but it's going on all 3 of my socials regardless.

Please treat me with respect. I'm a minor who has made a blog to share my art and just have silly content. I did not ask for this treatment from anons.

Antag has been my reactions to some of these asks so its only fitting I have him here.

#psa of sorts #respect creators #respect my boundaries #respect me

hey gamers i uhhh kinda have a Claire Francois RP character on FFXIV Goblin (Crystal) & I have a Free Company in the works in case anyone wanted to join?

It's kinda a casual thing so don't feel like u gotta be SUPER SERIOUS IN CHARACTER 1000000% OF THE TIME

it's kinda just like. if you want to hang out n run stuff together & whatnot & RP occasionally as well.

Feel free to send me a tell in-game as the character you'll be playing if ur interested, my characters' name is literally just Claire Francois. Also, I don't plan on doubling up characters for RP's sake so just be aware of that going into it!

also pls b chill.

#i was debating whether or not to add this part but like. #if things get parasocial at all whatsoever i will not hesitate to pull the plug. #basically don't just join to spend time with me #and DEFINITELY don't join if you want me to get u in touch with other creators #please respect my boundaries #i really just wanna have fun w/ this

I kind of expect some people to get mad at me for this but I do find it deeply ironic how I've recently seen fanfic writers of all people turn into staunch supporters of intellectual property.

#I don't even just mean ai discourse stuff though god knows how many bad ip takes that has generated #Which at this point I'm annoyed by enough to unfollow over #But I've seen people say that you shouldn't use someone's idea in ways they don't like #Because that's disrespectful of their boundaries #And it's like. Ok so you think Anne Rice was totally in the right to try to come down on iwtv fic then? #You can't even big creators vs small creators your way out of this one #Because we're talking about uses that don't make anyone any money so it's not about protecting small creators' ability to make a living #It's an argument about boundaries and respect #Which... you think apply this way to you but not to Anne Rice because...? #Vagueblogging #Fanfic is literally based on 'if you put a story/idea out there it is fine and ethical to have whatever other story thoughts inspired by it #And put those out there too in turn provided you mark them as such'

I think praising someone (Mongie) considering her incredibly racist comments and disrespectful behavior towards nonwhite fans, simply because she isn’t Rachel, is a bit gross

? I mean, yeah I agree with you, she's acted very immaturely and cruel towards her nonwhite fans. I'm assuming this has to do with my post talking about mongie's announcements at NYCC with her getting an anime? (if not please link me to the specific post for context). I don't really see any of that as 'praising her', more so just acknowledging the fact that she at least had the balls to step away from WT when she knew it wasn't working for her anymore, and the fact that she's managed to succeed separate from WT thus proving that it is, in fact, possible to succeed in this industry without relying on one single platform. The comparison to Rachel was more so just to prove a point that LO is in development hell lmao

I was more so just trying to praise the action in and of itself, not praising mongie for being a good person. I'm very aware of and have talked about her issues involving her racist opinions (the Vicky incident especially), I don't think her not being Rachel makes her a good person or good creator by default and that's not the point I was trying to get across. I'm not interested in continuing to read her work (like with LO I used to be a huge fan of Let's Play until it fell tf off in S3, then I found out about all the racism) but I can acknowledge the fact that she found a way to break out of the mould of Webtoons because I think that's something that should be talked about so that others can see it is possible to survive outside of Webtoons (not just for the aspiring creators, but also for the Originals creators who have spoken up about feeling 'stuck' with Webtoons because they don't feel like they can succeed without WT). It's just a shame it was, y'know, the person who has treated her fanbase like shit and acted out over very valid criticisms of her depictions of nonwhite characters. That's pretty much all I was trying to get across, it's not much more complicated than that lmao Weird analogy but it's like when you smell something cooking that smells really good and then you find out that it involves ingredients you can't stand LOL

But hey, you do raise a good point that highlighting the success of someone who's shitty towards their readers and how they write nonwhite characters is just giving them more press and recognition, so let's use this opportunity to highlight a not problematic creator who also found success in this industry while never once being an Originals creator - Alice Oseman! Heartstopper is wonderful and beautifully written especially in its characterizations and depictions of queer relationships and identities, the Netflix adaption is very warm and comforting to watch, and Alice herself seems like someone who I'd love to have coffee with if I ever had the chance. Go read/watch Heartstopper y'all , and remember to include non-Originals creators in your search for good comics to read <3 I'll probably make an actual post about Heartstopper sometime because I still need to watch the second season of the show and I'm sure I'll have plenty to gush about after I watch it just like I did with the first :' )

#honestly a lot of this goes for rachel too #like if she acknowledged how her series got preferential treatment from WT #or spoke up about how WT treats the creators that aren't her #or even took responsibility for how LO has affected the greek myth community #those are things i would respect out of her even if i still didn't like her afterwards #but she HASN'T taken that accountability and there isn't any sign that she ever will lmao #that said idk if i entirely believe mongie's reasoning for leaving WT #she claims it was due to unfair treatment but fr LP was second to LO in how much advertising it got #and she was REALLY pushing the boundaries of what she was allowed to get away with on the platform #i think it's great she's proving that success can be found outside of WT #but yeah it sucks that it's her specifically finding success considering how shitty she's been in the past #there are too many shitty people getting all the glory in these industries #lore olympus critica #webtoon critical #ama #ask me anything #anon ama #anon ask me anything

Now that I have your attention, I have an important thing to say regarding the ask box.

Listen, I know y’all love the characters, and I’m really happy that you do! I also know that some of y’all simp for these guys, which is funny as hell and again, I’m glad you enjoy my versions of these characters as much as you do.

If you’ve followed this blog for any amount of time you know I get quite a few asks simping over my guys. Let me say this: submit those asks all you’d like! They’re fun to respond to and have a laugh over.

But, one ask I received on Wednesday (you know who you are, also this ask was not directed at any character so I can only assume it was targeted at me) has been the reason I decided to make this post.

Do not send me anything overtly explicit in the ask box.

Y’all can simp over these characters as much as you’d like. And feel free to submit your goofy asks simping over them! But please, do not send anything overly graphic. This is not an 18+ blog. I am a minor, and I’m not comfortable with graphic stuff like that.

I’m okay with y’all saying something like “I’d smash” bc that’s not graphic, it’s just silly and fun.

I want to keep this blog relatively safe for the younger audiences I know I have, and I want to keep it comfortable for me. Thank you for your understanding! I love you all!

[icedmetaltea]

FYI for those who don't know, the creator of Welcome Home made some posts voicing their distress regarding the sudden popularity of their project and some other things, and so I won't be participating in any content or asks regarding it for the time being.

#I wasn't in the fandom to begin with #but I know it's been growing at a fast rate #so just getting that out there #welcome home #Ty Karma for bringing this to my attention ❤️ #Everyone remember to always be respectful and understand that creators need boundaries #oki NOW i go to slep

Queerness in former dsmp members spreads like a viral infection. woke zombie apocalypse. Very few straight people left in the resistance. Charlie's been bitten.

ur grading people and if they get an f theyre blocked? my main you aint a kindergarten teacher this is a microblogging platform

yeah, that's why there's that function called blocking! :) cuz this is a microblogging site! that's what microblogging platforms have! :) so you don't have to put up with people's shit! :) interesting that kindergarten teachers where you live are capable of blocking people in real life, hope you had fun with that

#spot says stuff #this is the INTERNET You are the one who curates your own fucking experience and if i dont like someones vibes or what theyre saying to me- #-they are going to get blocked! ''grading'' people??? its called judging people and having set boundaries and self respect #im not here to conform to strangers tastes n the need to Watch Me i dont care about that more than i care about myself #i am not a ''content creator'' i am not someone with some power like a ''kindergarten teacher'' i am a stranger to All of you and- #-just another tumblr user and i dont owe you fucking anything just like nobody Here owes me anything besides base respect #n base respect includes watching what you say to people. i dont have to put up with strangers faults. im holding everyone here accountable- #-for their actions and words because i believe that you are capable of being a good considerate human person n acting sensibly #what would happen if i blocked a person on Tumblr Dot Com. the goddamn apocalypse? please. blocking isnt controlling people around you- #-its Boundaries. you can get over some random bitch blocking you on the internet. its not my responsibility if someone decides that their- #-entire emotional wellbeing depends on a *Stranger* #i have P@NSEAR blocked cuz i just Dont like their content. if someone ''gets an F'' from me for behaviour then MAYBE theres a REASON? #''ur grading people'' goddammit man who Isnt judging the people around them and the interaction they have with them #HOW many times ive said ''feel free to block me!'' in a positive way cuz of smth as small as a too gorey design. what do u think- #-blocking is ysee??? ''you are acting entitled'' because i AM! i AM entitled to having a good comfortable experience on the INTERNET #just like ANY OF YOU. please anon! you dont like my way of treating myself on the Internet do just that! block me! i wont throw a fuss?? #if Anyone here doesnt like the smallest aspect of me judge me. i invite you to. judge me and if that aspect is too loud for you Block me #to get along with this anons absolutely correct n in place anecdote: Grade Me. give me an F. boot me from the school whatever That means #keep yourself safe and make your experience on the internet comfortable #i cant tell if youre one of those dumb anon askers who r just lookin for attention or fight Or a reasonable person but heres my look at it #entertain it before you disregard it. got me pissed off from the moment i wake up u dont even know bout my whole blockin system dear god

[unhingedkinfessions]

i feel the need to ask if you got the ryker irl ask and plan on posting it since its technically an irl asking, but involves kin so i dunno if youd post it 😭

well i was gonna yell at you for the irl thing but it can go in the void if you want

hey asker, BOO!! did i scare you

#please read . smile #mod joker #not a kinfession #mod navi #can we please for the love of god respect creators' boundaries

[milogreer]

why exactly are some people spreading pirated versions of the BAs. does that not strike you as a really fucked up thing to do

#🤨 #this isn't a real question btw i don't want excuses. it is a fucked up thing to do. #this is why some creators end up pulling their content. bc people don't know how to respect fucking boundaries #sweetheart.txt

[oliveristired]

Broo- I didn't watch the live stream but figured I'd just watch some clips and vids posted to YouTube of the twitchcon event with Dream there and everything. I was pretty excited because I know this was Dream's first event and he was excited as well, but damn, what the hell was that 😭

Dude, that was wild. All the people touching and taking things that weren't theirs (ex: George's water bottle), the people who were pushing past others and putting their hands on others, the people who were being blatantly rude and selfish, I mean- that's just unacceptable man.

And that's ignoring the fact that the host, staff, and general panel and setup were pretty unprepared/ill-equipped. (Lack of microphones, poorly planned questions, lack of seating, etc.)

But I mean, seriously? Wearing a shirt with NSFW content on it, at an event with (I'm guessing) predominantly MINORS, of two CCs AT THE EVENT? That's just crossing the boundaries and it's super uncomfortable.

And the way people treated Dream? He was so respectful and kept his cool when he was definitely not being treated the way he should've been. You could tell he was so tired and just trying to get back to his room, but people kept tapping him, pulling on him, yelling at/to him; I mean- that's just nuts.

Ultimately I was just surprised at how wonky the event was and how disrespectful everyone was being.

Hopefully Dream is alright and not too overwhelmed. I'm proud of him and I hope he was able to have fun regardless. On the positive side, I'm loving the fanart of him with his hat :) (and George)

I just hope this doesn't discourage him from wanting to attend any other events in the future, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was reluctant either.

Content creators are people too and need to be treated as such.

The security, staff, equipment, disrespectful fans, and apparently accomodations (or rather, lack thereof) for disabled people as well, were just disappointing.

I'm grateful for the good moments, though, and hope that it was enjoyable for at least some of the CCs and fans.

(and I'm also grateful for Karl's humour, it made the event more bearable.)

This was just my take, sorry for any bad grammar or incorrect information.. 👍
