ohmanwhatsthis: Initially found this, slightly cropped at the sides, on some cringy RP account that didn't credit the source
Google Images returned no other results besides similar cringy RP accounts that didn't credit the source
I wouldn't have been able to find the original artist until, when trying to identify the MD5 hash, the black-and-white base image emphasized the @ in the barely-visible watermark, and even then after I noticed it it was so difficult to actually read even with my device at max brightness and my screen angled perfectly the font choice and JPEG compression made several of the letters incredibly ambiguous so it took trial and error to actually sus out the proper username
And then after that when I actually finally found them it on Twitter it took another 10 minutes of scrolling through their media tab full of painfully heterosexual slop and garbage political opinions to find the original source
Was it worth it? Probably not, but I'll do anything to spite the type of art thieves who run RP accounts and refuse to offer even the barest common courtesy of crediting the people whose work they've stolen
