#oh luna

How many times has Luna woken up with band-aids plastered all over her forehead after giving Usagi a hard time?

Hi anon. I could have ignored this question, most likely the best thing to do would have been to ignore it, but I did not.

Yeah, I know about copyright/legality of sharing things on the Internet, no need to tell me what is written in the last page of all my volumes:

And yet I will continue to ask for credit for the edits I make.

Of couse Square enix or Jun herself can come here and even without asking me to remove every vnc/ph related images they can just grab and throw this profile to hell and I would have to put up with it. It is something I know.

And yet I will continue to ask for credit for the edits I make.

This is a fandom. You enter Tumblr, Twitter, Reddit,... And you can find somethings like direct links, fanart, fanfics,... But most of the content comes from images taken directly from the manga/anime without changing anything. We are alive thanks to it: using for sharing the story we are reading, to comment some panels, to say X, to theorize, and a large etc.

And here we come to the section that you have talked about, anon: the edits. Sometimes are tiny things, sometimes are biggest post I have seen but always with a working hand behind it. This hands, that belong to people like me, are doing this (as the rest of the people of the fandom) for fun and without gain anything for it. I dont own the images I am editing, I only own the volume I bought and the time I use editing things from it. For that reason I use the need and not the must or the could. Because first, I am not a company that is going to sue you for not credit my edits and second, because I am not begging you for credit me. I am asking for it. Because it bothers me. To spend hours or even days modifying something to make it look clearer, brighter, striking, etc. And then I go and see other profile using it as it was made by them. It is time, you know? What I spend doing this little things and of course I am not obliged to make it, I do it because I want to and I like to. That will not eliminate the anger I feel at seeing someone else take credit for my time, you know?

Now then, to make it clear: I will not stop asking for credit for something I have used my time. And yet you can go and do whatever you want as common and use it without giving credits because not exactly fair to ask to credit on something you don't own. And you know what? I can't really do a shit about it. But then a day will come when people like me, or even myself, get tired of it and just stop doing things like this.

Once not so long ago this profile was nothing like it is nowadays: posting theories, edits and even fanarts. It was silent, used only to see, to like and to reblog. And I am sure it will be like that some day in the future again. And I am sure that day will come much earlier if I keep seeing things that I did and shared for the love of the story and the fandom as something made by someone else, if that makes sense.

If you thing about it, it's not that it's a great loss in a fandom or something like that.

And yet I will continue to ask for credit for the edits I make.

Luna: That’s alright. It’s like being with a friend.

Harry: Oh, I am your friend, Luna.

OH HI BABES.

My hearttttt.
