Yup, but just like with fic it happens and as I said, I didn't make the art or the photos, but I did take the time to make an icon mostly for myself in the first place and then have someone take something I made, hotlink and parade them around as their own, that was just not on.

Yeah some of them really are. If I know who made it, I'll credit and if I don't I usually put "sorry, I don't know who made this" and if I see the icon around somewhere again, I'll just see whether that person knows and then credit. Sometimes artists make their own icons as well, which is of course the easiest, because you can credit both in one go XD

I understand, it can be a bit overwhelming, but I've found some icon makers whom I really like both considering the icons they make and what style they are in, as well as in their personality! *Squishes*
