#if you repost elsewhere don't use japanese tags

[acrispyapple]

I was reading your tags on some fanart and I just don't understand. Why can't we add gifs? Why can't we tag to our blogs? I like to be organized too. Don't gifs provide a visual reference for our reaction to the art? Since maybe they can't understand English? I'm honestly not trying to be rude (I promise!) but I just don't understand what's so wrong with that. Especially when we are reblogging to our own blogs, not reposting :( please answer thank you

heya! i thought i placed the reason in the tags. “most artists do not want added images” .. but i guess if you guys really don’t wanna take my word for it, please read some of these. (⌒_⌒;)

Please do not add GIF. (´；ω；`)Although I say troublesome things, I am very happy if you like the picture! Thank you very much!

I do not want such an illustration under my picture.

Thank you very much. OK. But do not add images!

take it from their perspective, as the artist they probably don’t want added images/reaction gifs on the same post as their work because it distracts from their actual art and it sort of ruins the feeling they want for it. some artists even told me not to put “self-made remarks” so i just end up placing the names of the characters lol (°◡°)

an artist friend said this to me regarding this “It’s like going to an art exhibit.You don’t slap emojis and memes on the exhibit.”

most japanese artists take their work seriously. they probably want to keep their work on a professional level as well. 

i also mentioned here that i need to respect the artists’ wishes. i said gifs can be added to any other post i make just not fanart– because i don’t own it and i have to follow rules given to me.

as for the next part, where did i say tho that you can’t tag stuff on your blogs? i made one new tag today for this midcin chibi fanart and i said “try not to tag full names so it doesn’t appear on google” - try not don’t. ✿

it was just a suggestion if people wanna help me out with avoiding fanart appearing on google images search and being reposted elsewhere because of it. not using full names lessens the chances of it showing up on google.

if you look at my posts, i’ve had tons of problems with reposting. i was just trying to minimize it. i mean you know, i COULD just post fanart and not care if it gets reposted because it’s not my work, but i actually DO care about the trust the artists have given me, so i go out of my way to look out for their stuff. i’m very busy but my friends can vouch for the fact that i do spend time reporting / talking to admins, or even emailing people to take down reposts. i figured it wouldn’t hurt to sometimes ask people to help me out. ☆

it’s lengthy but i hope it helps you out with your question! bottom line– if it’s the artist’s wish, i have to follow it and so do you if you want to reblog it. lol sorry but it’s their work! (^ ^*)/♡

by the way, i sometimes help them out with some comments’ translation if they don’t get it. but i’m sure they can use google too! it’s just that some comments don’t make sense to them. sometimes some of it don’t make sense to me either lol.
