boy, i do love seeing a post full of unsourced art in the tma tag with an amount of notes akin to an upcoming artists/s. especially when, after being called out, just two sources are added in the alt text instead of in the body of the post, even though most if not all of the artists have tumblr accounts themselves

#but tagging them would notify them. and then maybe they'd have thoughts about their art being reposted without permission #i know. 'its from pinterest i found it unsourced its not my fauwt uwu' fucking learn to find the source. its not hard. #or dont post them if you cant/dont want to learn #joos yaps #if the artist could put in the hours to actually make the art you claim to love so much the least you can do is #take the few minutes to find them and ask permission. or - radical idea - reblog their original post #btw i mean upcoming in the sense that i know my art would not be getting the amount of notes it does if i didnt have the momentum #from 10 years of slowly gathered followers #not a judgement on anything qualitative of the hypothetical art itself
