If you didn’t make something, it isn’t yours. Someone else spent their time (doesn’t matter how much or little) making that graphic/gif and obviously if you think enough of it to have it on your blog, you shouldn’t look down on the owner for getting angry. Even if you don’t credit the graphic to your username or say ‘not mine’ in the caption, it doesn’t make it any less stolen. If you can’t find the original post of that graphic and REBLOG it, then don’t post it. You’ll just have to do without it on your blog. Simple as that.
Sincerely,
All Graphic Makers of Tumblr
If you reblog a graphic directly from the OP, it will say ‘my edit’ or something like that in the tags. You don’t want to confuse people who might think it’s actually your edit.
