Johnlock Love Letters #1814

@ladyfeets Nearly every post that looks like a gifset (screenshoted) or graphic you find on facebook/weheartit/pinterest/ifunny/whatever other page will likely be a repost. Reuploading those images to any sites is not a cool thing to do, because you’ll find the originals mostly on either tumblr or deviantart (there are a few smaller sites, but a lot of fandom content is produced on those), and those people spent time and effort on making the content. 

The decent thing to do is to delete your post and reblog the original instead (honestly, content creators get far too little love and reposts only end up demotivating), and tell your friend (if they happen to be the one uploading the post) to

 first ask the original creator for permission,

 and at least credit the original blog post. 

Here’s on why reposts aren’t cool, here’s another explanation how to spot reposts, and here’s an introduction on how you can start making your own edits instead of reposting (basically: use the source material or screenshots from HD screencaps sites, NOT already edited graphics).
