Hey I found ur art uncredited on tik Tok

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMreQSnaw/

They said they "found it on Reddit" so they just decided to steal it and post it ig?? Ugh!!

Wow, that's a whole other repost to the one I thought it was going to be, lol. It's been reposted to TikTok once before, and I'm also not surprised this person got it from Reddit, where I doubt I was credited either.

At the end of the day I appreciate the heads up but there's nothing I can really do about it. The most helpful thing anyone can do is to leave comments on the reposts to provide credit,* because if artists ever try and comment then we pretty invariably get attacked. Don't be mean or aggressive, that just builds their animosity towards the artists, but I do think people respond positively to outside pressure to do the right thing 🤷

*Remember to make sure there's enough context - eg. something like "art by @ landegart on Twitter" is more searchable/useful than "artist is Landeg" to someone on TikTok who has no idea who I am haha

believe it or not I don't believe that Joe Keery is a terrible awful homophobe bc someone w a tiktok account said he was 9 years ago w absolutely no proof. and no, not believing everything a random lesbian online tells you doesn't make you lesbophobic. I'm a lesbian. I will write you a note.

this is more of a musing rather than a take, but this whole US vs. TikTok thing is rather revealing to me as of why all the major social media and tech companies are US based. Because if competitors arise elsewhere, they do their best to choke them.

It's interesting that in a supposed global and decentralized internet, we are all beholden to US companies and laws.

my darling writers, i have a curiosity: what does your writing setting look like? what does your ideal setting look like, what does it actually look like on a good day, and what does it look like on an average day? what about the most inopportune setting you had to endure?

by setting i mean everything from the space, furniture, supplies, lighting, time of day, weather, music, snacks, drinks, clothing... literally anything. i am both trying to figure out what atmosphere works for me, and trying to come to terms with my subpar non-writeblresque environment; i know some of the best works on ao3 were written on smartphones by overstimulated highschool kids crammed at the back of jam-packed buses — but i still feel like an impostor for not having a cute desk or a proper routine or colour-coded planners. idk please tell me i'm not alone 🥲 i do have a neat system on notion though!

One thing that still bugs me about that whole watertok controversy a little while ago was when people were criticizing the semantics of whether or not the drinks could still be called “waters” after adding all the syrups and powders, soooo many people were like “omg words MEAN something. That is NOT water. It’s like, juice ✌️” like wtf no it’s not juice either lmao. There was literally no juice in those things. Like personally I wouldn’t call them water either, maybe a mocktail or something I guess, I don’t really care, but if people making the whole “words mean something” argument and then supplying an alternative word that was arguably MORE WRONG, then I don’t really think they actually cared about the ~word meanings~ as much as they said?? Like sure there were some good constructive critiques about the nature of the trend and all but I think some people were kinda just getting on their high horse for no reason other than to feel superior about some trend they didn’t care about lol

the last photo of kimi is also wow but pepe… the arms, the neck. oh my god.

also, complete side note, but i had absolutely no idea dino is 20?? i always thought he was 18 at best, only because he seemed so young in the prema videos when oscar and logan were still around

- 🪐

its getting harder and harder every day to not find kimi attractive 🙃🙃 but pepe 😭 he looked soooo good during the run, like his big smile, his hands and arms on display……. w o w

also!! you're definitely not the first person to be surprised over dino's actual age… he doesn't look (or sound) like he's aged since fourteen 😶 okay that was an exaggeration but it's so funny to look at some old prema videos with him because i think "ah yes a fourteen-year-old" and then it turns out he's 17?!?! 😵‍💫

I grew up with exclusively country music and only knew of other songs via them appearing in kids movies. But I only know them by the kids movie and not by name. So I’ve just started referring to them by the movie. So yesterday I overheard that song from Megamind coming through my classmates speakers. And I was like hey man is that that song from Megamind it’s a real banger. And he looked at me like this

[disco-cola]

honestly i never got and never will get the obsession with motley crue ive said it before and i‘ll say it again sure they have some banger songs but they are a bunch of complete s*xist idiots they were then and probably still are now

[hella1975]

You can imagine my (22, literal nobody) surprise when I re-entered my 5SOS phase and discovered that Calum (27, out of my league, famous and internationally-known musician) has a girlfriend (26, hot and gorgeous and cool and funny and also famous). Betrayal!
