ALERT ALERT! TOLKIEN FANDOM, PLEASE READ:

There have been two Tolkien blogs, l-o-t-r & the-hobbit, that have continuously been doing the following:

• Reblogging but deleting the captions and/or sources inserted by the graphic maker themselves (grumpybilbo, ohnymeria, mirkwoodling, and I myself were victims of this).
• Reblogging reposts
• Tagging their Asks with actors or characters’ names just because they use a gif of them

We’ve messaged them numerous times, confronting them of their actions, but they’ve ignored us. We never wished to call them out, but we graphic makers work really hard on these photosets, and when someone saves it to their computer and post it on their own, or if the caption/credit we put is deleted, it feels like we’ve just been slapped in the face. And we have been slapped in the face several times.

The intention of this post is to not encourage hate messages to these mentioned blogs, but to make everyone of the fandom aware.

Thank you.

UPDATE - please read:

There is a blog floating around called hobbitgif. They’ve reposted several gifs, even those that are watermarked. If you see their url as a source, please do not reblog the post, make an attempt to find the original post Thank you.

If you happen to be a victim of this event, email the Staff so they can take down the repost.
