Hey, thank u! I’m curious as to which gif they’re using. Send me a link, or their twitter name.
I’ve said on here a looooong time ago, before I had so many followers *u*, so it was probably missed: anyone is free to use my gifs, tho I would appreciate being tagged (so I can enjoy them in their new setting) and/or being credited, bc they do take some effort to make ;]
The fact is that the gifs I make from movie!IWTV itself actually belong to the copyright holders for that movie, so I don’t have much more of a right to my gifs than the twitter RPer.
However, I tend to add the “i-want-my-iwtv.tumblr” watermark when I feel like I added/mashedup something unique enough to count as partially mine, which elevates the gif to a derivative work, rather than just a copy of the source material. Like this one, which is one of my faves:
So now I’m picturing the magical world as being like modern academia, where there are 15,000 specialty journals (“the shorter the title, the higher the ranking!” “Ugh i can’t *believe* that prick is ranking editor of Black Magic“ "She got a sole author article in Black Arts? So what its a fucking regional journal.” “Omg you got a publication in Sorcery?!”) and these are the special editions that get published once a year.
"It’s a quarterly, and my favorite issue is ‘Witches Destroy Black Magic’— I’m so into Identity Sorcery.”
“Did you see the latest article on Transdimensional Alchemy? I have such a research boner for that Warlock. His metatextual approach is just amazing."
"I’m in full support of Transdimensional Alchemy as an abstract concept, but in practice I think it is problematic in its preference of gold to any and all other precious metals, especially when there are others that are FAR more useful in overall metaphysical to physical transition."
"You post-Merlin metaphysicists are all the same, always lumping all Alchemy in with the gold standard tradition and ignoring the last 3 decades of work in renewable metals and the Green Transformation movement."
"Except for that fact that Green Transformation is still a teleological view of magic; recognizing the fracturing of mystoriographies is essential to more fully understanding not where we are going, but how we are going. It is not only in the magic, but in the casting."
