How do you call the Vincent & Catherine-ship? Even though officially it seems to be VinCat, tumblr-Beasties seem to prefer Catcent. Both are accepted! Are there special tags? We tag all not or recently aired episodes with “spoiler”, “batbspoiler”, “batb spoiler” and the episode name and/or number (for example 2x06), because in other countries the episodes air later and we don’t want to spoil. Also we avoid to post with the tag “beauty and the beast” we silently agree that this tag is for the Disney movie and we use “BatB” or “beautyandthebeast” Are there any special links for blogs and sites to follow? just take a look: here What are Feasties? You can read that on twitter now and then: Feasties are Fashion-Beasties. How is the Fandom called? Right now it seems to be Beastie family or Beasties. Are there any good fanfics? teamcatcent has a big list of reviewed fanfics: here What can I do to support the show? If you are a US citizen you can currently to the most:watch the episodes on the official homepage or hulu, purchase a season pass on itunes or amazon. Also you should follow and rate the show on IMDB and TVGuide, also follow on facebook and twitter batbcw and thejacki are both awesome to follow if you want to actively support the show with campaigns, promotions and polls teamcatcent and I are also posting links to polls, promos, and trending wars I want to watch the show but am not an US citizen, what can I do? There are different possibilities to watch so that your view gets count: install “Media Hint”. You may not be able to watch the episodes on CW, but the clips and allows you to access media streaming services like Netflix, Hulu and Pandora. ”tunnelbear" claims that you can also watch on the CW-platform, but you have to install some software for it. You have a certain amount of streaming per month for free, more than that you have to purchase, BUT you will have the highest quality. Hola unblocker - an addon for Browsers is VERY helpful as well! What is reposting and why is it bad? Reposting is making a new post with a contend that wasn’t originated by you - this can be gifs, pictures, manips, also texts as creative writing. It is bad because the person who has worked on the gif for example doesn’t get the recognition she or he deserves and it appears like you claim it for your own. Most bloggers aren’t aware of that I found an awesome gif/picture/artwork and I want to have it on my blog! I found a couple of them and I want to put them together on my blog! What do I do? If you have seen it on your dash or in the tag, simply hit the reblog button: the second from the right. If you want to collect some and post them yourself: some creators don’t like that because they have spend hours to create it. Show respect and reblog, or ask and source it. If you can’t find the original artist feel free to ask anyone, but look for a watermark first.

Reblogging respectfully to the artist who made the edit When reblogging an awesome gif, edit, artwork please be respectful to the creator by NOT adding negative words and thoughts in the caption. When you put distasteful things in the caption when you reblog the creator will see it. If you want and must say something negative and possibly something that could be considered rude, put it in the tags so the creator will not have to see it. To respect those who put so much time and effort for everyone, please don’t write negative things so that the artist sees it. What I mean by negative talk is writing that you hate the scene that they worked so hard into an edit. Or saying other distasteful things. We don’t want the artists to get discourage or hate making what they used to love to do. So please be respectful.

I have found a gif on google or weheartit: how am I supposed to find the original artist? Both sides are no real sources. Google however can help you find the original post and/or the artist who created something. let this post here (x) explain to you how to do it!

How can I avoid that my art gets reposted? There is not much you can do, apart from watermarking your gifs with your full tumblr name and not an acronym (a Beastie pup won’t know what that shorting mean!) and add a link to all your artwork. The better you tag your posts the easier it will be for a fellow Beastie to find the gif or other artwork to find! I know it can be frustrating but than again: it still is a sort of compliment when your work is reposted, even though not the one you want.
