This post is a little bit about me ranting, but mostly about education and how to appreciate fanarts on socials. Please I'm not trying to hurt anybody, I just realised today that, maybe, there are things we artists all need to say one day, and so it's my turn.
A very kind person (Thanks again, dear.) just told me that someone was reposting my art, without even naming me, on a public group on Facebook. I reported it to the admins, but I still don't know if they will do something about this problem, or if they'll do nothing about it or if they'll simply kick me out of their group so I won't be able anymore to see what they are doing with my reposted art. So, for now, I won't cite this Public group.
So. Hello, my name is Elenthya Olyenths, a.k.a @searchingforakeythatdoesntexist on Tumblr.
And my art has been stolen. Again.
Even if there was my signature on it, and a discrete stamp with my name right in the middle of the canvas. It's... awful to see. Because this time, it's clearly not from someone who doesn't know yet the basic "share and reblog but DO NOT REPOST" rule. And it's not someone who reposted my art crediting the wrong name either because they have found my art with the wrong name, in a illegal re-post on another social.
This time, it's someone who downloaded my art pictures, reposted it in the same order, and even copy-pasted my personal explanations (about my injured wrist!!). The stealing intention is quite clear.
(and please don't tell me it's probably a bot aka a programm doing it, because we will never know but it FEELS THE SAME AWFULLY WRONG and whatever, if it's a bot, someone DO has created this bot and so we need to talk about this and teach to people how to recognise a illegal repost.)
So, please, dear Good Omens fans, and my dear fellows from other fandoms.
I just want to kindly remind you all that seeing our art reposted, even with credits, even with our signature, is very hard to live for us artists.
Please, if you see an official artist post that you like, think about using the "share" functions (reblog on tumblr, "Share" on FB and Instagram, etc...), it helps us artists to see where and how our art is appreciated. And for me it's a wonderful way to bring back motivation to me and then to draw/write even more. ๐๐๐, ๐ข๐ญ'๐ฌ ๐ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ง๐๐๐ซf๐ฎ๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ง-๐ฐ๐ข๐ง ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ! *^__^*
And about reposting art but crediting the artist with the @ (like in here @searchingforakeythatdoesntexist):
Sometimes it's quite okay... but not so great in my own personal opinion. Because it still might be misunderstood by other fans that can't always see the @ and just repost the art with the reposter wrong name on it - or whitout any name at all, which is not better.
Signatures and stamps and watermarks can help us to avoid these problems, but reposting art whitout explicit and personal agreement from the artist is still a issue and in my humble opinion it's NOT RIGHT.
Reposting, even with credits, even made by trustworthy followers, is an issue.

It hurts, believe me.
And I alreay know that the current situation will bother me for several days, and it will make me struggle about my drawing schedule, and it will make me brainstorm about which huge and ugly watermarks i need to use again for avoiding such issues.
This is why I can't allow anybody else to repost my art anymore, except for a collab and only with my explicit consent.
Please. Thank you.
Have you all a happy timezone and a wonderful week.

Wearing my tube dress.. feel free to send me stuff or maybe tasks to make it my nipples hard for hours, pussy dripping and my asshole craving to be filled.
Smack is a mini-podcast in which I try to tackle topics with common sense and logical reasoning, without bad intentions or ulterior motives. If a take happens to align with any political, religious or other kind of ideology, that is purely coincidental. It will inevitably upset someone, but please hear me out and remain civil.
I forget the way you talked or the way you walked or how familiar your smile felt.
But suddenly the memory of your fingers brushing against mine brings back the memories of all those times we spent together.
It's not much but all of a sudden I'm reminded of how your eyes looked as they stared into mine, your gaze setting my whole body on fire.
I am reminded of the way the corners of your lips turned upwards when you smiled and how beautiful your laugh sounded when you spoke about silly things.
I am reminded of the slight brush of our fingers while exchanging things. A feeling so familiar yet so foreign, so close yet so distant.
Somedays I forget that I loved you.
But other days my poetry feel empty without you and I crave to see you one last time.
Am I still in love with you or just pretending?
However, on rainy nights, I still think about you.

Iโve decided that I am going to go on a hiatus for a little while. I need to get my mental health under control. I am not doing good at all. I love all my followers and I will be back soon. ๐
