I need to express something, especially towards people who have made Me feel disrespected, by reposting My coins without asking, or using My templates without tagging Me in it.
Coining is My safe space. I do it for fun. I do it because I like to feel productive. I do it because I have low artistic motivation, with lots of creative thoughts, and this is the easiest outlet for Me.
I have it tough, offline. I am working on advocating for Myself, in those moments, so that I don't become resentful. It gets to a point where it affects My sleep. There are times where, even with My best effort to advocate for Myself, that it amounts to nothing. I expect this likely won't amount to much either, but it is something I've never tried before.
I want My safe space to stay safe. At the moment, it feels like the only possible way to do that is to leave Tumblr. It's not something I want to do. But when I am consistently faced with similar issues, I don't know how else to go about it.
It's hurtful. It doesn't feel like a lot, to want people to ask before posting My coins somewhere else, or to tag Me when using the template I made.
I have been criticised for "not stating that in the (template) post", so I have started adding it to posts. Then there are coiners who will link to the post that says "TAG Me" directly under the flag, without tagging Me. So. I really don't know what else to do.
It's making Me wonder if it's worth coining anymore? I don't want to feel like that, I have already become bored with other interests, out of anhedonia. I want to feel interest.
It makes Me feel disrespected. Seeing My flags where I haven't approved makes Me feel paranoid. It makes Me feel like the coiner using My template is a factory, lacking any sentience, just pumping out flags.
Please, can I PLEASE be asked before you repost My flags?
Please, can I PLEASE be tagged, when you use My template?
