Okay I fucking hate making call out posts but this has gone too far now. There is an instagram account that has reblogged hundreds of edits and art that doesnt belong to them.
This instagram account is Antimystical.
DO NOT HARASS THEM!
I wouldn’t have even known about this account at all but a friend of mine told me that one of my tweets from the egos posts had been reposted. Now I dont post them on instagram. My tweet edits stay on tumblr as well as my gifs and my art goes on my tumblr, deviantart, twitter and instagram.
They posted it with the caption credit to septicstacheedits. Like that is not acceptable but they didnt even ask either which is even worse. Anyway I messaged them at 3pm GMT to delete the post and im just waiting for a reply.
As i was going through their instagram, i saw very familar art styles. A lot of the artists also post that same art on instagram and most of the art hasn’t been credited. There are a bunch of edits as well especially from my friends that have been posted and if its like me, they aren’t aware.
Im going to try and tag everyone whose art and edits ive seen posted but unfortunately theey aren’t crediting people properly, if at all so i am really sorry if your art is there and i haven’t let you know, i cant recognise everyones art style and rn i really wish I could.
IF YOUR ART/EDIT IS ON THERE, TELL THEM TO REMOVE IT BUT DO NOT HARASS THEM ABOUT IT. I DO NOT WANT THIS TO BE A WITCH HUNT.

Well as long as it’s being credited it’s fine in my book, just NOT tracing my work.
Reblogging this but also adding :
Repost is a thing on instagram, it happens on daily basis. Plus, to me..repost is helping spread my name (because theres no reblogging feature on insta, duh). Im even more happy if people came to my page after seeing repost (with my credit name on description) and follows me, the original artist.
I know your perception is like “oooh they are riding the coattail” (is that the word?) Or “they use ur art to make them famous”. The repost never surpass the original artist.
Again, as long they are saying names, IT IS NOT CONSIDERED STEALING. They are just like promoting, “check out this book, credit to (insert name here)”.
Plus if the repost really interest people, they will ask who the original artist and eventually come search for us, be it in what social media platform they took it. In this case, if they only say names without the tag @, they will ask the source. (Some of the artist is not having an instagram app).
