Anonymous asked: Hello I'm sorry I'm new to Tumblr and I have a question I want to use a gif I found on the internet in a post or to answer people etc.. but I don't know who the original creator is so is it ok if I just copy it into the post or that would be a big no no?

Generally speaking, it’s fine. The use of gifs in posts is a common thing on Tumblr, and in 99% of cases, the original creator isn’t known to almost anyone.
