A lot of Outlander fandom gifmakers post their stuff on here and on Twitter and it's ALL watermarked because thieves suck actual ass so maybe anon needs to sit this one out.

Here's the thing people REALLY need to understand. If theives were capable of removing the watermark from our gifs (which can be a very involved process if you know what you're doing) they'd be making their own gifs already instead of stealing ours. It's not necessarily hard to make gifs, but it can be time consuming. "Why waste time learning a fun new skill when I can just take someone else's work and claim it as my own?" a content thief, probably.

While that's not entirely universal, (some people will steal wm gifs and don't care that it was stolen, and I've had some of my gifs stolen and they removed my watermark [shoutout to my friends who pointed it out for me]) it does greatly reduce the chance of gifs being stolen if they're marked. Most content thieves want to appear as if they put in the work to make the content they took and don't want any sign that that could not be the case. A watermark dissolves that illusion real fucking fast.

Also, I refuse to call them reposters. That implies they're doing something normal or socially acceptable. No. Nope. Absolutely not. They're THIEVES. Maybe if people could stop being thieves, we wouldn't have to watermark our content.

Do better.

watermarks on gifs are for attention seekers on twitter, not gif artists on Tumblr

......... we watermark our gifs...... so we know when they've been stolen.....

There's a lot of work that goes into gifs. As seen here. Sometimes they take hours to make. My Star Wars Day set took 4 days.

Just for good measure, this

Dedicated to the tired GIFMAKERS who has had their work stolen by idiots who believe Credit to the Owner is a valid form of crediting. To the tired GIFMAKERS who had to deal with the lame excuse that a reposter found their work on Google, Pinterest, or Weheartit and (reposter) didn't know who to credit. To the tired GIFMAKERS who ask to be properly credited and get ignored, blocked or receive third grade tantrums trying to make the GIFMAKER look like the bad guy even though the reposter is the one who STOLE their work Huzzah to Gif Making 💖✨🥂

In spite of the general awkwardness of my situation, I was grateful for the young Scot’s warmth. He smelt strongly of woodsmoke, blood, and unwashed male, but the night chill bit through my thin dress and I was happy enough to lean back against him.

something important to remember is that there's always time. if you lost many years to abuse or mental illness, you will get a chance to live life on your terms. there is no limit on the age you have to be to achieve goals. you can go back to school at 30, or switch careers at 40. you can start new hobbies at any age. there is no cut off age for being happy and content. if you're trapped right now, you will get the opportunity to become who you want to be.
