hello, i would love to know, as I was seeing your pinned and you say to not use your gifs on platforms like instagram or tiktok, does that also apply for twitter? how do you handle when people don't give you the credit or you simply watch that they post those gifs on their accounts and don't say anything? i have always wanted to know how people who create gifs handle all of that haha
yoooo hi anon, yes it pretty much also applies to twitter, hence the "do not repost my gifs" the tiktok and instagram was a different one cos people pretty much post edits/reels and stuff in there.
i usually like get really really mad when ppl dont credit me LOOL cause if only you know how i make gifs, i dont use actions or whatever. i do everything step by step. sharpen my gifs PER layer, use ctrl + alt + f on keyboard for every friggin' frame btw so yeah... i think i have a right 2 get mad when i spend 90% of my time gifing spamming the shortcut keys for sharpening settings loool
i used to put a watermark on my gifs to stop people from using them but they steal/not credit me anyway so what's the fucking point ??? the last time i engaged ppl went CRAAAZYY on my fucking asks just bc i only just wanted ppl to be decent for once and just fucking credit me. it literally just takes three seconds to type my username to acknowledge they use my shit and they never do it
do you kno what even funnier? i plastered "do not repost" on sum of my watermarks and PEOPLE STILL REPOST!! tell me im not the only one who cant read and understand what that means nd ppl still dgaf!!!
just put urself in my shoes anon. its not that i make gifs for clout or notes or whatever i do this for the love of the game (hi glen. hi daisy. hi shawn 😚) but when you spend an enormous amount of time watching their stuff. tracking the scenes you wanted to gif. making an effort to do ALL the stuff to make ur gif better (aka sharpening and coloring) and ppl do not even have the decency to credit you for the THING you technically made... doesnt it pisses you off? 😭
thats mainly the reason why i stopped using twitter LOOL i see people from the glen, daisy and finn fandom i follow/show up in the equivalent of my tumblr dash use my gifs and other gifmakers' stuff and get like double, sometimes triple the notes we get here and no fucking credit either like dammmn bro??? ik everything on the internet can be used/posted now regardless of who "owns" it but still lool.
rn i dont want to engage w it. when u asked me this all i had was angry flashbacks to when i took it personally—i dont wanna be that person anymore. atleast im trying now 😭 i come here for enjoyment instead i get ragebaited by people. i appreciate anon/friends who tell me when someone uses my gifs somewhere and didnt credit me, yall are my true heroes. ESPECIALLY MY FRIENDS FROM THE TWISTERS SERVER!!! MASDA!!! HANNAH!! NIKOO!! who has my back each time a rando uses my gifs!!! dats my protection squad. my team of bodyguards.
anyway, that's pretty much how it is w me. idgaf if people use my gifs—i get pumped/hyped even. but that's ONLY when they credit me. or respect my rules when it comes to using my gifs.
