#jelsa fandom

I have kept quiet about this for a long time, but I feel like I need to finally speak up before my frustration gets the best of me.

There is a very popular artist on here who also has a YouTube channel, and they are best known for their Jelsa content. They even collaborated with another Tumblr user to create a fanfiction, which gained a lot of attention. But what really bothers me—and has for quite some time—is the fact that they failed to credit me when they were clearly “heavily inspired” by one of my old Jack Frost edits, specifically the one where he is wearing armor. When I first saw their work, I was shocked by how closely it resembled mine. It’s not just similar—it’s nearly a copy-and-paste of my edit.

What frustrates me the most is how easily this could have been avoided. It takes almost no effort to send a simple message, to acknowledge the source of inspiration, and to ask for permission. A quick: “Hey, I really liked your edit. Can I reference it?” would have been enough. And honestly? I would have most likely said yes. I’ve always believed in supporting fellow artists, and I know how fandom thrives on inspiration and collaboration. But the fact that they didn’t ask, didn’t credit, and just took my work as their own inspiration without a word? That doesn’t sit right with me.

It’s incredibly disheartening to see my effort and creativity used without even a basic acknowledgment. I put time and energy into my work, just like any artist does, and to see it so blatantly taken without credit makes me feel disrespected and unappreciated. I know that inspiration is a natural part of art, but there’s a difference between being inspired by someone’s work and outright lifting it without credit. And what makes it worse is that they have such a large platform. They have an audience who sees their work and praises their creativity, completely unaware that part of it was taken from someone else—someone who was never given the recognition they deserved.

I don’t want to start drama, but I also don’t want to stay silent when something so unfair has happened. I just wish they had done the right thing.
