Therians, Otherkin, & Alterhumans: I am BEGGING you to credit artists when you use their work for memes, moodboards, stimboards, icons, banners etc. (anything)

It is the minimum we should be doing when I know most of us aren’t even checking to see if the artists are even ok with using their works in this way.

I promise you it doesn’t actually take that long to find the creator most of the time, and if you cant find it- maybe someone else can or maybe don’t use it. “Couldnt find the creator” “credit to artist” etc, is NOT viable

thought about making a pinned post or about page, but honestly? i much prefer having information all over the place. you want to know what's up? scour the blog for crumbs or send an ask.

i wonder if something like a torc necklace could simulate a collar while being discreet? hm... something to test someday.

talking about my fictionkintype these days is... well, "difficult" isn't the right word for it, but i'm blanking on a better one.

the fandom aspect is the biggest part. this isn't fandom for me - it's a part of my identity, and i don't want people outside the alt-h community getting misled or twisting it into a roleplay thing. it's difficult to talk about a fictionkintype if you're censoring every other word and name to avoid the fandom.

but also...

that life isn't a happy one. many of the noemata i have for it are of being afraid, sad, or lost. it ends young. it's a tragedy retold as a heroic adventure.

there's a part of me that says i should just move on. this 'type is a part of me, of course, but not a part i need to dwell on.

maybe it's better this way.
