some very important info re: paid accounts~

I am not a lawyer, but I can decently interpret legalese and, being as I also suffer from tl;dr syndrome and assume others may as well, I took one for the team and went through the updated TOS for the post+ accounts and highlighted (what I understand to be) the most pertinent information, which ultimately comes down to this:

You cannot monetize copyrighted works (aka charge and earn money from fanfic, fanworks, etc) and if you do decide to put your fanworks behind a paywall via Tumblr, when you are inevitably sued, Tumblr will not protect you and will not defend you and you alone, personally, will be responsible for whatever monetary damages said lawsuit results in.

If anyone is a lawyer and knows I've gotten any of this wrong, please do not hesitate to correct me/this post.

Screenshots taken from Tumblr's TOS (updated 7-21-21), Stripe's Account Agreement, and the post+ FAQs.

1. Your paid account will not be hosted by tumblr; it is routed through a 3rd party.

2. By signing up for a paid account, you're entering into an agreement with Stripe, so in addition to Tumblr's TOS, you are also bound to Stripe's TOS.

3. Stripe, like Tumblr, will not defend you or protect you against any lawsuits.

4. Furthermore, you may end up owing Stripe money (indemnify = compensate)

5. Tumblr's TOS specifically states that you can't put any content on your post+ account that violates any laws, including laws that protect intellectual property rights of others. This is super important, because Tumblr's post+ FAQ also states that you can post anything that you would regularly post on tumblr, which I'm sure many will take to mean that gifsets, fanworks, etc are fair game, since all of that stuff can be posted on tumblr now. However, the difference is, you're not making money from the fanworks you're posting or reblogging now. Once money enters the equation, the game changes.

Tumblr is making it seem like any and all content goes for post+ accounts, knowing 90% of this site is fanworks. This is not true and you'll be opening yourself up for lawsuits if you charge for fanworks.

6. Tumblr further disclaims any and all liability in any legal issues.

tl;dr: Please do not make a post+ account, bc you will be opening yourself to lawsuits and if that happens, Tumblr's response will be not our problem, you agreed to all the terms which said you couldn't do that, sorry not sorry. Please protect yourself.

i'm never getting over the fact that romance as a genre, as the HIGHEST selling genre, exists largely because straight women fantasise about being loved and treated kindly by men and men constantly make fun of this because they think it's just that unrealistic that they could cherish women and that women are stupid in the first place for wanting such an impossible thing

one tree hill ladies appreciation week 2021 ↳ day one: favorite female character → peyton sawyer At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls. And sometimes — all you need is one.

hey guys, Israeli settlers are trying to take over occupied East Jerusalem by evicting Palestinians from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan, changing the demographic of Jerusalem by removing all Palestinians and replacing them with Israeli Jewish settlers. This is @notshatha’s (on tiktok) linktree where you can find a petition to sign which will be delivered to the us state department, as well as other resources and ways to take action. There’s also a guide to BDS, I suggest you all have a look at it. You can also follow accounts on Instagram like @theimeu, @palestinianyouthmovement and @jewishvoiceforpeace for more info on the situation and more ways to get involved and help, thx baes

HOW I COLOR DARK SCENES — A TUTORIAL

AKA how I get from this:

to this:

Before you start this tutorial, here is some things you already have to know or be able to do:

Basic knowledge of how to make gifs including where to get footage, what quality to use, how to screencap or import videos into frames, how to use Timeline and how to sharpen gifs.

Basic knowledge of how to use Photoshop layers and what they do including: Curves, Selective Color, and how to set opacity of layers.

Note: If you are unfamiliar with my technique, here is a link to a different tutorial by @thepunisher, who introduced me to this technique ages ago! Have a read through, if you find my own explanations confusing! 

The rest of this tutorial will be put under cut as it is extremely long because I take the time to explain what each layer does and why I chose to do it.
