I've been getting multiple asks like this one. So, to everyone, including that person - my sweet summer child, do I look like a human embodiment of an Ezgif to you? I've given a clear reason for why I'm not currently making any Wtfock gifs. It's because of reposters and people like you who treat gifmakers as if they were a Pinterest board. We make gifs because it's enjoyable and allows us to create amazing content as a hobby.

People like you are draining the fun and enjoyment out of it. I'm not a machine, and I'm not obligated to make gifs just because you or someone else told me to. I spend hours on gifsets, sometimes even days. So, don't tell me it's easy. Where are your gifs then anon? Do you think I simply take a video from YouTube, say "abracadabra" and a gif magically appears with animation, color correction, typography, and layouts for more complex sets?

To Twitter reposters, it's extremely clear that you didn't make that gif. We can tell this because we're familiar with our own sharpening/cropping and coloring settings, having memorized them over the years. Oh and, don't claim you found it on the tl either. If you didn't make it and it's not your work, then why are you reposting it?

Look, I know I've said that gifmaking isn't easy, but it's not impossible. There are numerous people and source blogs that can help you out in learning how to make gifs. Hell, I even put together a small masterpost with tutorials that were helpful for me when I was starting out.

Instead of stealing gifs, you can learn how to make your own. If you have any questions, you can simply message a gifmaker and ask for advice.

I understand that my post probably won't do much or stop the reposters. However, I hope that some of you will realize that giving proper credit and showing respect to your fellow fandom members is the absolute bare minimum.
