okay but like. Do people not know the difference between reblogging and reposting? This is important because some have asked me if they can reblog my art and Iām like ?? Of course?? and they seem super confused because apparently I told them āthey canātā and thatās probably because they have the two terms mixed up. So let me clarify:
Reblogging?
Reblogging, on tumblr, is pressing the button that looks like this:
When youāve successfully reblogged something to your blog, the button turns green and leaves a little ā.
Reblogging is GOOD. Because it always shows the original source which means youāre SHARING!! By reblogging, artists get recognition, some artists make art for a living so by sharing their work with the source youāre doing them a favor. Artists appreciate reblogs!
Reposting?
Reposting on the other hand is BAD. Thatās when you download/screenshot a picture and re-upload it to the same or another platform, edited or non-edited. Reposting is bad because itās STEALING.Ā
Many artists are tired of reposters and some are starting to report people for stealing their art, because theyāre Done. It doesnāt matter that you credited, unless you got permission itās NOT legal to do that and you can get reported!!! If you go even further and steal art to make a profit, you can get sued because youāre using COPYRIGHTED material!!Ā
so all in all:
REBLOG = SHARE = GOOD ā ā REPOST = STEAL = BAD āā
REBLOG =/= REPOSTING !!!
This goes for writing, too. Iāve had plenty of peole yank some of my drabbles off of my WattpadĀ
Primus everyoneās saying all this bittersweet shit and Iām gonna cry just,, I love all of you so much. @the transformers fandom, thank you for being my family, and thank you for being my home.
(So sorry if I forgot someone, or accidentally listed a follower/someone I follow lol)
Thank you all for taking me in as family, and thank you for spending time with me. This blog isnāt ending or anything (and Iāll prolly have a major breakdown in Feb. when I can read the last volume), but I just wanted to let you know that you all are people I cant think to live without now. This fandom has helped me come so far, and from followers to mutuals, all of you have made me feel like Iāve acheived something, being here with you. And I hope you feel the same way. So just,, know that I love you all, okay? And thank you for being here, because together We Acheive Something. Letās continue to have a good time here in the Transformers fandom, yeah? Through good and bad times. Cause I really do think this fandom is a real good team.
Since you guys make me feel like home, I thought Iād post a song from one of my favorite bands. It makes me think of The Lost Light Crew somedays.
