i just finished the episode and im so upset i thought she died

No, no, I don’t mind since you linked back with credit. I’ve been miffed in the past when people have used them without credit, but I’m more than happy to be part of the big old fandom feedback loop as long as everyone is credited along the way and it’s fair :) 

If I have any criticism at all, it’s that it’s often very easy to miss the link to the original when people do give credit if it’s just a single underlined or bolded letter — so at first glance it can seem as if credit isn’t given at all. But I’m not going to argue the point.

I’ve decided to keep track of where I see my pictures, so I’ve started a ‘people using my pictures' tag. I'm going to reblog and add anything of mine I happen across, whether it has credit or not, for three reasons.

Firstly, it’s a way of me keeping track of the life of their own my pictures take on once they’re uploaded.

Secondly, it’s a way of me feeding back into that loop, giving more exposure to creative ways people work with source material.

Thirdly, perhaps somewhat passive aggressively, it’s a way of me taking back and restating ownership of those pictures that people edit and post without any credit. I’ve found that oftentimes appealing to someone’s sense of good will is like trying to train a cat — yeah, no. So taking back control of those images like this seems like a positive and proactive thing I can do, rather than screaming into the void and channelling it into negativity.

So my reblogging your edits of my pictures was for reasons one and two. I can see how my comment could be construed as being pissed off. In reality, I want to keep my comments relatively neutral, whether I’m reblogging credited or uncredited edits, so that I’m not tempted to drift towards snark and/or anger when reblogging the uncredited ones — I think that would defy the purpose of trying to do something positive instead of something negative.

im so tempted now, the last main quest i did was the one where you get stuck in the fade with hawke

52 hrs and ive only done a few main quests, how did you finish it that quickly (im so terrified of spoilers maybe i should skip side quests and stop looting everything)
