Hey all! Well, I've decided that I want to review stuff in blog form, books, movies, tv shows, even video games. But, to do this properly, I need Gifs. However...I don't know where to find them, or how to use them.  So, if any of you could point me toward a website or something that has awesome gifs, particularly in multiple fandoms, that would be awesome. |

TUMBLR. Mostly reaction memes, but there are gif tags. But pretty much if you type in "(fandom name) gif" to Google Images, you'll get something decent. As for using them, they're the same as any other image. Use <img>LINK</img> and it should show up with HTML (or, even better - "upload an image") |

YES. TUMBLR IS LE BEST FOR GIFS. Especially fandom gifs. You don't even want to know how many Yugioh gifs I've saved off it. Find the tumblrs for your favorite series and see if they have a gif tag and save away. Sometimes there will be tumblrs JUST for hosting gifs for certain fandoms. It's just a matter of being patient enough to search until you find the relevant blogs. ETA: This blog is one of my favorites for reaction gifs: fuckyeahreactions.tumblr.com/The person mostly organizes them by emotion/sentiment, but most big name fandoms/actors/etc are tagged, too. (Ignore all the butthurt PMs and stuff. The person who runs the blog feeds his/her trolls a lot. I just pop over to the list on the right and search for whatever I'm looking for rather than scroll through a ton of wank.) You can either right-click-save-upload them to your reviews if you want the original gif saved on your computer, OR you can right click, select "copy image location" and then paste that into the img tags on whatever website you're using, if you just want to use it but not save it. (A word of warning on that: Using someone else's host does mean there's a chance they may someday delete the gif, so your link to it would be broken. This has happened to me. OTL) |

OTL) Also, if it's someone else's actual website, they may have coding against hotlinking (using someone else's host). This has happened a few times to people I know. I just have a folder on photobucket so I can get it on any of my computers. |
