Steve was exhausted.  It had felt like he’d been fighting for decades now.  Although that was probably true.  It had been a long time.  Just one thing after another, wearing him down until there was only Captain America and nothing left of the man before.  Ultron had told him that without war he’d be nothing, and for a long time that as all he believed.  Ever since the war every part of him had been chipped away.  Losing Bucky.  Crashing the plane.  Being pulled out of the ice only to find that the thing he’d died trying to destroy was back in the hands of people using it to try and take over the world again.  Loki.  SHIELD.  Ultron.  His own friends.  By the time Thanos had snapped his fingers, Steve had already lost everyone he’d ever had.  Some of them more than once.

But he’d kept going, because that was all he had.  Until Scott had shown up and given him a glimmer of hope.  So he fought again and won.  He lost more, Natasha and Tony, but there was hope underneath.  Hope that maybe, thanks to time travel Captain America could be handed off for good and he could be Steve Rogers again.

He’d had concerns though.  Concerns that he’d talked to death with Bucky.  Would everyone be okay without him?  What if Peggy didn’t want him?  What if he’d changed too much and he wasn’t the man Peggy had fallen in love with?  What if he messed up the timeline?  But in the end Bucky had assured him he’d be okay.  That they all would.  The timeline couldn’t be changed, if Steve went back and Peggy took him back, then that was what was meant to happen.  If not, then that was meant to happen too, and at least he’d know for sure that there was no place in this world for Steve Rogers anymore.

Even knowing that, he was frozen in place.  He had been travelling through time for weeks now, fighting and sneaking around as he put the infinity stones back where they belonged.  He was beaten up, exhausted, and terrified.  This was the moment.  He was going to see Peggy again.  His Peggy.  And if she rejected him, he wasn’t sure what he’d do next.

He brought his hand down, knocking on the door.

a gifmaking tutorial would actually be super appreciated :)

Okay, this is gonna get long and it might not be great but I will do my best to make it understandable.

Put under a read more cause we're not forcing anyone to look at all this.

We're gonna make this gif:

First of all you'll need 3 software programs downloaded.

4k downloader (to download videos)

Gomplayer (to get the frames from the videos)

Photoshop (I pay for it but there are other ways)

Some things to keep in mind

better quality video = better quality gifs

if you want videos in 4k you have to download them in MKV format as MP4s can't be 4k.

gifs can only contain 256 colours so gifs with a lot of different colours might get grainy.

if you use low quality videos or upscaled videos they sometimes have duplicate frames which will make the animations look weird, but you can easily remove those extra frames.

tumblr only accepts gifs under 10mb in size so all gifs have to be less than that (photos less than 20mb)

you can put up to 30 gifs/images in one post

ok here we go

Step 1: Download video

Step 2: Get the frames from the video

You will play the video using Gomplayer

Find the part you want to GIF

Press CTRL + G to bring up this menu

I haven't experimented much with these settings but you'll want to choose the place you want your frames to end up so you can find them later

4. Have the Capture all frames box checked (unless it's 60fps then do 0.03). You can capture up to 999 frames in one go.

5. Press "burst capture" and it will start getting the frames (video has to be playing) it will look like this.

6. Great you have your frames.

Step 3. Making a GIF

Open Photoshop

Load Files Into Stack

This will open the folders on your computer so navigate to where you put your frames and select the frames you want by clicking on the first and holding shift while clicking on the last.

3. Wait for PS to load the frames

4. Once it's all loaded the first thing you'll do is crop it. Press 'C' on your keyboard. There are a couple presets you can use or you can 'clear' that and crop however you wish.

I always crop out at least a little of the top and bottom cause there can be dark lines there.

5. Resize: for optimal quality on tumblr there are three sizes to keep in mind.

For sets like this with 3 gifs next to each other the width should be 177p, height does not matter.

For sets like this with 2 gifs next to each other the width should be 268p

And for a set like we're doing today with just 1 gif it's 540p

You'll want to memorise these numbers for future use.

177p, 268p or 540p will be the width of your gifs.

To open the resize menu you press CTRL + ALT + i

Change the width to in this case 540p (p as in pixels)

It will auto match the height to keep the same proportions.

Click OK and wait until it's done.

6. Make sure you have the 'timeline' window up at the bottom of your photoshop

7. Click 'create frame animation' (button might say video timeline but change that by pressing that little arrow next to it)

8. Press the button with three lines in the top right of the 'timeline' window and press 'make frames from layers'

9. The frames will have loaded in in reverse order so open the same menu and click 'reverse frames'

Step 4. Blurring the logo/text (optional)

Since we have a logo in there I will want to blur it but you might not have one or you don't care if there's a logo or text in your gifs.

First we have to make the gif into a smart object.

Select all layers by pressing CTRL + ALT + A

Convert into a 'video timeline' by pressing the button in the bottom left of the timeline window

3. Right click on your layers and click on 'convert to smart object'

4. Press Z to switch to the zoom and zoom in on your logo/text.

5. Press L to switch to the lasso tool and select your logo/text

there should now be a line where you selected.

6. Open 'Gaussian Blur'

7. Click OK

Now we have to get our GIF back to the frame timeline.

8. Click 'flatten frame into clips' using the timeline menu

9. Press 'delete' once to remove the smart object

10. Convert back to frame animation

11. Make frames from layers

No need to reverse this time. But now your logo/text is blurred, as long as it doesn't move but that's a topic for another day.

Step 5: Sharpening

If you didn't have something to blur let's go over smart objects again.

Select all layers by pressing CTRL + ALT + A

Convert into a 'video timeline' by pressing the button in the bottom left of the timeline window

3. Right click on your layers and click on 'convert to smart object'

5. Camera Raw Filter (Optional)

I use this for base editing of colours and the overall clearness of GIFs, it's not made for that tho it sometimes gets buggy. Works best on photos.

Press CTRL + SHIFT + A to open this.

It's best to do as little as possible in here as it can bug out.

I mostly mess with the effects, light and detail settings in here, don't touch the sharpening though cause we will use smart sharpen for that.

6. Smart Shapening

Most people have a sharpening action they use, including me. But you can also do it manually. You can find my actions in here.

To do it manually and make your own settings. This is how you open smart sharpen.

If you use my sharpening action remember it can be a bit much sometimes, in that case hide the second layer

Use an action or mess around to find a sharpening setting that looks good on your gif, usually don't need much.

Now we have to get our GIF back to the frame timeline.

7. Click 'flatten frame into clips' using the timeline menu (I'm low on images to use check the blur section for images)

It might take a minute since it has to process the new settings.

8. Press 'delete' once to remove the smart object

9. Convert back to frame animation

10. Make frames from layers

11. Select all your frames to set the framerate

You can click on any frame for this. Click 'other' and set it to 0,06.

12. Press CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + S to open 'Save for Web'

these are my save settings.

Click save and name and place it wherever you want it saved.

Congrats you've made a gif.

Step 6: Colouring

Now we have a problem cause there's already 30 images in this post.

For colouring I have a psd I use and adjust to the individual set. It's in my google drive you can find it here along with my actions.

If you're making several gifs from one video you'll want to adjust to the first and then copy that over to keep things matching.

We can go more in depth on this but that would have to be a different post since I can't put more images in this one.

Step 7: Watermark (optional)

A lot of GIF makers have watermarks these days as there's a lot of people who repost GIFs without credit. Make your own so people know the GIFs are yours even when posted elsewhere.

Step 8: Post

Post your hard work on your tumblr, use a bunch of tags so people have a higher chance of seeing it.

I hope this post was understandable and clear, let me know if you have any questions and if you want a proper colouring post.

My PC Screen Upgrades Review - Part 2 (w/ my paper dolls) [Recorded on Jan 14th, 2024]

Hello, February! The wait is over! 😁 Because here's "Part 2" of my "PC Screen Upgrades Review" (featuring my paper dolls). Yup, this is my second attempt after I replaced the CPU cooling and added two PC fans in June of 2023. 🖥️🔧 This year is for the screen monitor by replacing/installing this trio of PC-related items! 😁

But before that, if you haven't seen my previous topics that related to my "PC Upgrades", then I'll provide some links down below: ↓ 😉

And don't forget this "Part 1", in case you missed it → [CLICK ME!].

So, without further ado, let's get started:

My Recorded Video [edited by: Filmora 9] 🎦🎞️: ↑

• Once again, in my recorded video, I'm showing off one-by-one of my trio of PC upgrades before I installed. 🖥️🔧🙂 Please, enjoy my unboxing video. Otherwise, you could at least check it out my snapshots, down below. ↓ 😉

14th to 24th Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

• Okay, unboxing time - snapshot edition! 😊 First off is the CERVVO GPU Card. This box contains a Product Specifications booklet with few instructions, and the main item covered in anti-static plastic to prevent conducting electricity. I also mentioned, that the GPU Card also available in black color, but the seller gave me a white variant. After all, it matches the color from the old MSi GTX 750 Ti GPU.

25th to 29th Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

• Speaking of, here's a comparison with my aforementioned one, and in terms of length & size sees through our visions. 👀

30th to 33rd Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

• Okay, let's moved on to my next item, this is the Ad-Link HDMI to VGA converter. And I confirmed, that the AOC's old VGA port would fit in right through the converter. Plus, a 3.5mm audio jack port built right in, with the included auxiliary cable. Although, I don't need it, to be honest. 🤷‍♀️

34th to 42nd Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

• And finally, the Fuzion PC power supply. With no additional accessories, this thing will slapped on any format desktop tower case. And unlike my old PC power supply, aside from the aforementioned PCI-E ports, the 24-pin ATX power connector cable was covered in nylon braided-ish material. Yes, I said "Nylon-Braided" because it looks like one, although the material doesn't have the same as the soft thread nylon-braided ones from our existing USB cables for mobile devices. 🙂

43rd Image 📷📲 [Jan 12th, 2024]: ↑

• Ah yeah, I forgot. Here's the specs information about the old PC Power Supply from Powerlogic as a comparison against my new PC Power Supply from Fuzion. ⚡🖥️ To be honest and in my opinion, I wish my new Fuzion PC PS (Power Supply) would have the same specs as my old Powerlogic PC PS. Just saying. ☺

Well, that's the end of my "Part 2". "Part 3" is now available! Pls proceed → [CLICK ME!]. 🙂

And GOOD NEWS! I'm attending my job as a "Volunteering Worker" for the "Person's With Disabilities and Senior Citizen's Cash For Work Program"! 😁👷‍♂️ "Four hours" on weekdays for "Four months" until I get paid! So, I'll do my best! 😊

Well, that's all for now.

How did you start writing on ao3? What was the learning process like, formatting and etc?

Hi Anon!!

Writing on AO3, honestly, was a dream, because both of us started on ffnet, and posting to ffnet is exhausting. In comparison, AO3 is easy as pie. Kam and I actually met because we were both authors of X/1999 fic on ffnet. Someone put all the authors they knew into one giant AIM chatroom and the rest is history 😂

But that was back in high school, sometime around 2005. Kam primarily draws/paints, and really only wrote one (1) thing. I wrote a handful of short fics, tried to write regularly, but just could not keep it up through college. Idk if you've got a physics degree, but it kind of takes a lot of mental energy and there was nothing left for writing for fun. I managed, like... istg like 3 short fics early in college (And they went on lj, lawl) and then nothing for years.

Somewhere in there, I started reading on AO3. I consume fanfic like it's an Olympic sport. Eventually I got an account.

And then, one day, I just got tired of not writing. Instead of saying that classic, "If only I had the time..." I decided to make the time. I looked up tips on writing. Took a glance at the writing shelf in the library, and read Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott. Took actual notes. Applied them. This was around 2015.

The biggest thing really is making it a habit. Even if you just stare at a screen, putting the time into staring at it makes a difference. But Anne had another tip that revolutionized my process: writing advantageously. I don't only write when I make the time; I'll stop in the middle of the grocery store and write down an idea if I have it. I write anywhere and everywhere.

In 2019, a good friend of mine hit me with a new technique that changed everything again: word tracking. I use Tris' word tracking spreadsheet every year now and it doubled my output in 2019 and has increased steadily through 2022.

And 2022 had an insane output, because I unlocked another new skill: writing out of order. I used to have to write chronologically, but now I've figured out how to not do that, and I managed that illusive 50k in one month last year.

So what was my learning process like? A whole lot of trial and error. Sometimes tips didn't work out, but I kept trying everything. Sometimes I had to try them more than once, as I grew as a writer. Writing out of order didn't work for me until I figured out how to make it work for me. Shitty first drafts also didn't work for me, until I found a half-way method that does work for me. If every author out there tells you the same trick, chances are it's a good trick. But tricks take practice and time to get good at them. I had to be patient with myself, and I had to keep at it, one bird at a time.

Grant Faulkner's Pep Talks for Writers has an excellent anecdote that boils down to: write more things. We like to get caught up in trying to make our projects perfect, but we learn more by just finishing it up and moving onto the next. Sometimes you need to learn from the next project before you can figure out what's wrong with the first. Some stories will just never be that great. And it's okay. Don't get stuck. Write more things.

“if you are writing the clearest, truest words you can find and doing the best you can to understand and communicate, this will shine on paper like its own little lighthouse. Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining.”

― Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

So thank you, Anon ❤ and I hope something in all of that was what you were looking for.

PS, if you write on gdocs and don't like removing all those extra spaces between paragraphs when you copy to AO3, just change the gdocs spacing to 'add space before paragraph' + 'add space after paragraph' and that'll make it match AO3. Only real formatting tip I've used 😂

Sims tag

Thanks for tagging me, @twofee!

1. what’s your favorite sims death?

If I need to kill a sim without cheats, then fire because it's quick and easy. In my normal gameplay, however, I'd say any death that feels random. Most of my sims live until the old age, so having the game pull the rug from under me is always exciting.

2. Alpha CC or Maxis Match?

A secret third thing aka my downloads folder is older than most modern CC systems.

3. Do you cheat when your sims gain weight?

No, I like the variety it adds.

4. Do you use move objects?

Yep, more often than not.

5. Favorite mod?

Traits, for sure.

6. First expansion/game/stuff pack you got?

Nightlife and Family Fun Stuff.

7.  Do you pronounce “live mode” like aLIVE or LIVing?

aLIVE

8. Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made?

I haven't made sims in so long that I honestly don't have an answer to this question.

9.  Have you made a simself?

Nope.

10. What sims traits do you give yourself?

Hot-headed, socially awkward, artistic, handy, cat person.

11. Which is your favorite EA hair color?

Brown.

12. Favorite EA hair?

The soft looking male hair that came with Free Time. The one Julien Cooke has.

13. Favorite life stage?

Adult.

14. Are you a builder or are you in it for the game play?

Both.

15. Are you a CC creator?

No, aside from a couple of base game painting recolors.

16. Do you have any simblr friends/a sims squad?

I've known one person from simblr for a really long time, and we share some other fandoms, too, so I guess I have a friend.

17. What’s your favorite game (1,2,3,4)?

TS2, obviously.

18. Do you have any sims merch?

No.

19. Do you have a youtube for sims?

No, but I watch a lot of building videos by other people.

20. How has your “sims style” changed throughout your years of playing?

I wouldn't say it did, although I pay more attention to the wants now.

21. What’s your origin ID?

22. Who’s your favorite cc creator?

Anyone who adds preview pictures to their CC in jpeg format instead of png and doesn't use special characters in file names.

23. How long have you had a simblr?

Oof, wow, about nine years if I count my previous blog.

24. How do you edit your pictures?

I cut them down and adjust brightness in PS.

25. What expansion/game/stuff pack do you want next?

Not relevant to TS2, but I guess I'm interested in other life simulation games that are in development now. Don't think I'll ever move on from TS2 as it's been my hobby for almost two decades now, but competition is good for the genre.

can you make another max mayfield fic? I’ll let you write about whatever you wanna write about I just need more from you you’re amazing

Max Mayfield x Reader: Suddenly Anxious

I love Max so much, I'll do as much of her as you all want :) and ps I know it's a shit title ok

HEY WE PASSED 100 FOLLOWERS!!! Thank you all so much! (This has been in my drafts for awhile, we are at 128 now!!)

Description: When reader is suddenly hit with a burst of anxiety, Max comes to the rescue.

Gender: fem. R is refered to as "girlfriend"

WARNINGS: anxiety attack (not a panic attack but close if that makes any sense)

*not my gif* SADIE AT VENICE YALL

You are obsessed with Max's hair. You love the smell of her strawberry shampoo and the way you can only describe the color as golden hour.

As the two of you sit in the movie theater, you play with bits of her hair while she lies her head on your shoulder.

An hour of the movie and four braids later, you suddenly have a snap of anxiety inside you. You immediately feel nauseous, standing up very abruptly to run out.

You book it to the bathroom and lock yourself in a stall. You take a couple of swallows, convincing yourself that you won't throw up (which of course is making you more anxious).

You hear the bathroom door open.

"Y/N?" Max's sweet voice floods through your thoughts.

You unlock the stall and she comes rushing over to you.

"Are you okay?" She holds your cheeks worriedly.

"Yeah, I-" your voice shakes so you take a breath. "I just got really anxious all the sudden."

"Panic attack?"

You shake your head. "Not quite. I just feel . . . off."

"How about we get out of the bathroom?" Max offers you her hand and you take it, giving her a weak smile.

She leads you down a deserted hallway and guides you to sit on the floor. She pulls you into a hug.

You grab onto her jacket and smell her shampoo, grounding you just slightly. You can still feel yourself shaking as waves of adrenaline pump through your blood.

Max starts to run her hand over your back in a slow pattern. You start to match her breathing, worries fading just enough for you to finally collect yourself a bit.

You sit up, looking at the ground.

"Better?" Max asks.

You nod. "You didn't have to follow me out. I know how much you wanted to see that movie. I'm so sor-"

Max cuts you off with a kiss. Not your first kiss but you are still shocked when it happens.

She holds both your hands and looks you in the eye. "I will leave anything for you. Don't apologize. I want to make sure you're okay, always."

Tears spring to your eyes but you manage to not let them fall. You give her a shaky smile. "And are you doing okay?"

"I'm amazing!" Max grins. "I get to spend the day with my beautiful girlfriend and she insists we go to the arcade tonight."

You nod. "Yes, we must go. I want to watch you dominate the scoreboards."

"Pretty impressive, huh?"

You playfully smack her arm. "Shut up."

"No," she grabs you into another hug, just wrapping her arms around your shoulders, her cheek touching yours. "It's impressive and you know it."

You give her a look until the two of you break down into laughter.

"Okay?" Max jumps up and offers a hand to help you. "I actually do need to see how the movie ends."

You smile as she drags you back down the hall.

Max ❤️ wrote this on my phone so the formatting might be a lil off, sorry. No stealing!! Thanks for reading!!

Buy me a coffee?

[holdmyhopeinyourhands]

just out of curiosity, what exactly do you think is the problem under poch? do you think it’s tactics, management, coaching, structure or something else? and do you think there’s anything poch could do to improve performances? I haven’t been able to watch PSG much this season because of how busy I’ve been so I’d like your opinion

PS: I always say “poch” because I keep forgetting how to spell his name

Okay, there is a lot to unpack about my feelings towards Poch's management so let's just first write one sentence summery of why he's not a good fit for psg.

*The man lacks a spine*

Now, let's break down how that is terrible for every part of his game.

Pochettino since the very moment he came here decided to play a kind of open football were we relied more on scoring goals than defending. Quick passes, counter-attacks, corner kicks etc. The goal was to outscore the opposition and hold onto the ball but not slow down the play enough to hamper the pace of the quick one-two passes Poch loved so much. Which yeah, we all expected that because that's how he apparently did so well with spurs. What we didn't expect was his inability to make a functioning midfield.

The main problem we had with Tuchel was his overreliance on Verratti as a single, one man midfield and with him being so injury prone that sucked. But that's why Tuchel decided to make Marquinhos a defensive midfield to assist him in keeping a tight leash on our midfield and dragged Neymar further down the pitch to serve as a creative output. Somehow that worked for him (whenever Neymar and Verratti weren't out injured) and he used Thiago and Kimpembe as center backs with Marquinhos serving as a pseudo center back whenever needed. With Keylor in goal, and with Thiago, Kimpembe and Marquinhos covering for him, Bernat was free to bomb forward and link-up with Neymar and that somehow managed to create a formidable defense and a really good attack. So it didn't matter if our midfield wasn't as good. Defensively and attackwise we were covered. We had one of the best defensive teams in the CL with Tuchel. Not the best midfield, but an amazing defense and that gave our forwards the freedom to do what they had to do.

With Pochettino, we don't have a midfield at all. It's only Verratti with Danilo and Herrara who neither serve as creative or defensive midfield or anything really. Danilo actually scores more goals than he stops and only now that Poch is experimenting with him as cb are we seeing some decent results from him. Our defense is broken and gone. Somehow outside of Marquinhos, Poch can't seem to string together a decent defense to save his life so one of the few good qualities we had under Tuchel is gone and he keeps playing the same formation of Neymar/Messi/Di Maria/Mbappe whenever he gets the chance even though it's been clear they do not work well together, at all. It's almost as if he thinks if he puts all our best scorers out there together they'll somehow score lots of goals instead of focusing on giving them a midfield that can deliver the ball to them in the first place!

So basically in less than a season, Poch has managed to eliminate our defense, midfield and forwards. There is nothing there anymore. Which is crazy because he has a team that is so much better than the one Tuchel had to work with.

Poch refuses to shake things up. Refuses to play the youngsters despite his starting midfield being awful. Refuses sub out underperforming players (except Messi) and only puts in subs at the end of the match when nothing can be done. Even when we're leading he refuses to play tactically safe and keeps subbing out anything defensive in favor of more attack, resulting in us conceding and he never learns. Ever. He's playing it safe with the team he knows. The midfield gets overrun every single time an yet he refuses to change it. He never subs anyone in because he's afraid of making a change despite the game looking lost. The players have no idea how to play together and he hasn't managed to fix it at all.

At this point I think the players have him by the balls. He's either afraid of them or he wants to stay loyal to his chosen few no matter how that makes him lose and every post-interview you have Marquinhos disheartened and Pochettino saying the exact same excuses "we're learning to play together as a team blah blah blah. we're getting there. blah blah. we put in a good performance blah blah."

He isn't good enough for us. Anyone who keeps playing Icardi despite him touching the ball 3 times per game doesn't deserve to manage anything and it doesn't help he lacks passion either. Man looks heartbroken every time the camera pans to his face it's depressing. Plus its no secret that he wants to leave. He's tried to leave twice so far so it's driving the fans crazy that we still haven't gotten rid of him.

So, in short, his issues are everything because he lacks spine and is unwilling to deviate from his formula and it's gonna get us killed in the CL.

Hope that makes sense.

Bakugou's parents are fashion designers, we don't know if they have their own line or who they work for. That's not the point. What is the point here is can I request a scenario where his crush wears said brand and he recognizes it? It suits them well. Maybe his mom meets the reader while they're wearing it. She immediately catches on. "oh, so that's why you're suddenly interested in mine and your father's work, huh?"

this is VERY VERY long for just hcs. there’s like stuff mixed in cause i got way to carried away but THIS WAS FUN TO WRITE is what im tryna say hehe <3 

(ps im sorry for the formatting i was a mess when i wrote this hEh)

○ after class when you’re just hanging out with the girls Momo makes an offhand comment about how you seemed to always be wearing something from that one brand

○ you tell her that it was one of your favorite brands and you really like their clothes since they were so nice yet comfy 

○ and Bakugo just so happens to overhear your conversation and your praises for his parent’s designs

○ he’s kinda proud, honestly. even if he doesn’t have that good of a relationship with his parents it still makes him happy to know that something his crush liked so much was created by someone so close to him 

○ so that weekend he asks his parents whether he could take a tour of her office or something to see their shit without really providing an explanation, so of course they get a little curious 

○ but they’re ecstatic at the fact that their son was finally interested in their work nonetheless, so they do in fact show him around that weekend

○ and when he sees one of the sweatshirts from Mitsuki’s most recent collection just laying around in the office that he thinks would look good on you he just grabs it to give to you. doesn’t even ask, but since Katsuki looked like he really wanted it they would just let him keep it

○ it’s unisex, so they weren’t necesscarily suspicious as to why he would want the sweatshirt, but it definitely made them amused since it didn’t really match his aesthetic of black tshirts

○ when he gets back to school he just drops it off in front of your room, hastily scribbling a note to put on it so you would know who had put it there

○ and you burst into his room shortly after when the rest of the bakusquad are in there after you find the gift

 “Bakugo, I can’t possibly accept this, it’s worth way too much money,” you gasp, slightly out of breath from running all the way to his room. 

 “Wait Y/N, don’t tell me that’s the limited edition piece from Mitsuki’s new collection launch last week! That thing’s like almost a hundred dollars, there’s no way Bakugo got you that.” Mina’s eyes widen at the fabric you currently had bunched in your hands.

 “Well I got it for free, so either you stop bitchin’ and keep it or chuck it ‘cause I would never wear that shit,” Bakugo grumbles, not even looking at you.

 You flip the soft fabric over, inspecting the tag carefully. “This is real though,” you say, “ /please/ don’t tell me you stole it.”

 “The fuck? Of course not,” he retorts, offended. “Look, don't worry about it, okay? Stop asking so many fuckin’ questions and just accept it.”

 So you do, thanking him profusely before leaving his room quickly, not wanting to disturb the group.

 “Simp,” Kaminari mutters under his breath after you leave. “Bakugo’s so whipped for Y/N.”

 It takes all of them and Kirishima knocking Bakugo out to stop him from killing the electric teen.

○ it’s hands down your favorite piece of clothing that you owned, wearing it all the time and taking care to keep it clean and looking new

○ and when Bakugo falls sick for a few days and needed someone to deliver work to his house, the rest of your class immediately volunteer you for the job

○ so you go back to the dorms to clean up and make yourself a little more presentable, changing out of your sweaty gym uniform, taking a quick shower to freshen up before slipping into the comfy sweatshirt that fell over you frame just right

○ when Mitsuki opens the door to see you standing at the door wearing the exact same sweatshirt she knew Katsuki took from him, and she immediately connects the dots

○ you introduce yourself politely, explaining to her that you were there to deliver his work and she eagerly ushers you into their house, welcoming you warmly

 “Y/N, right? That’s a nice sweatshirt you’re wearing,” she says as you sit in the living room, waiting for the younger Bakugo to come down from his room.

 “T-thank you! It’s actually from my favorite brand. I just love their designs so much,” you gush, happy to find someone who could also appreciate your taste in fashion. “Actually, Bakugo was kind enough to get me this sweatshirt. It’s quite hard to come by since it’s limited edition.”

 “Oh, are you and Katsuki close? I can’t imagine that selfish brat giving presents to anyone,” Mitsuki says, wanting to pry more information about her son from you.

 ○ loud stomping from the stars breaks yours focus before you can answer though, and the blonde boy just snatches the work from your hands roughy, not even thanking you before saying that you could go now

○ but his mom tells you to hold on, hurrying to her room to grab something she wanted to give you

○ so you wait, sitting there with Bakugo in an awkward silence as you wait for her to return

○ she comes back with a bag of clothes, stuffing them into your hands

○ “These should fit you. Take them as a sign of thanks for taking care of Katsuki all the time,” she says with a wink, patting your head affectionately 

○ and your eyes widen when you take a peek in the bag and realize it’s all from your favorite designer

○ “I-I can’t possibly accept all of this, Bakugo-san, it’s too much.” 

○ “It’s alright, just call me Mitsuki! Bakugo-san makes me feel old.” 

○ when you connect the dots and realize that she’s that Mitsuki you brain short circuits a little at the realization that your idol was in front of you

○ apologizing for not noticing who she was earlier, and telling her how much you admired her work

○ she waves it off, telling you that she was just glad you liked her designs that that you should come by to visit again soon

○ when you get back to the dorms, you notice that there’s a little note slipped in between the clothes that you hadn’t seen earlier

○ “I’m pretty sure Katsuki has a crush on you, and I’ll leave him in your care from now on! Let me know if he ever treats you badly alright? I’ll beat him up for you ;)”

Fixing Tattoo Mods with Photoshop

Those of you using Tattoo mods with Baldur's Gate 3 probably know that Patch 6 basically broke all of them. A user on reddit (u/paramorphic-zuul-jar) responded to my thread with a fix. I will not upload the edited files for any tattoo mods - those still belong to the author. Either you have to do it yourself or wait for the author to fix it. This post will show you exactly how you can fix it yourself if you don't want to wait. I have confirmed that this method works.

What you will need is Photoshop or Gimp, and a .dds plugin for exporting. If you do not have Photoshop, download Gimp as it is free and PS isn't. I am using Photoshop, so the steps on Gimp will likely be a bit different. For this post I'll be focusing on the Photoshop instructions.

You may need to sign up for an Nvidia Developer account. If you already use GeForce Experience, you can sign in with your Nvidia account from that and it will just ask if you want to join the Nvidia Developer group or something to that effect. Click Yes/Submit and you will be able to download the file from here: (If you don't feel safe clicking links, just google "photoshop dds plugin" and it is the first result.)

https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-texture-tools-exporter

I used the plugin version. Once you download it, click the .exe to run it and it will automatically find your PS install location and install the plugin for you.

Open Photoshop, then navigate to where you saved your specific tattoo mod. You need to go all the way to the .dds file nested in the mod's folder, within Generated\Public\Shared\Assets\Characters\_Models\_SharedAssets\SHARED_Atlas\Resources. Open the .dds file labeled Skin_Atlas_Head_SHR_Tattoo_A_MSK1.dds.

It should look like this once you have it open. Don't worry about the color or anything else, you don't need to edit anything. Instead, go to the top left, click File > Save As. You need to use Save As, not Export.

The save screen will pop up like so:

You can choose to overwrite the existing file, or rename the old one to save the new one under the correct name, but the new file you save must have the same name as the file you opened, or it won't work. I just overwrote mine, as I always keep the .rar files for mods I download as backups. Click Save after making sure that Format reads DDS - NVIDIA Texture Tools Exporter.

Depending on your specs, your PS application might hang/stop responding for a bit while the exporter loads. Just wait for a second and the exporter should pop up:

Don't change anything else except the Format, the first option on the top left side of this window. Click Format and make sure your selection matches the one in this screenshot - BC4u R 4bpp grayscale. You do not need to change anything else. Once that is selected, just click save.

If you saved the file within the mod folder itself, you can just install the mod as normal. Drop the \Generated folder inside the \Data folder in your Baldur's Gate 3 install location. If you did not save within the mod folder, make sure you place the file in the correct location:

(Drive Letter:\)SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data\Generated\Public\Shared\Assets\Characters\_Models\_SharedAssets\SHARED_Atlas\Resources

The .dds file needs to go into the Resources folder here.

Once you've dropped the file/folder in the correct location, the mod will work as expected:

Please follow basic modding etiquette and do not re-upload your edited mod files anywhere and take credit from the mod author who deserves it. You can edit your files for personal use, but you should not distribute them without permission.

I'll be posting this fix in the mod author's comments section to hopefully make them aware of it if they are not already, but it may take a bit of time before they get around to uploading the fix themselves. Until then, you can use this post to do it yourself if you don't feel like waiting.

The steps for Gimp should be similar, but unfortunately I'm not familiar with that program. If anyone would like to add on to this post for the Gimp instructions, that would be appreciated.

[punk-rock-pixie]

Y'all literally don't shut up about them, so just.... DO THEM ALL. ALL THE FUCKING QUEEN ASKS (Ps. Y'all would be cute with young Brian May and MAYBE Roger Taylor but mostly Bri. Okay bye)

Lord… Okay. I guess I did say that I would answer them all at once. I just wasn’t expecting someone to do it.

(Also aw. lmao)

I’m gonna do it all under the cut.

Who would you dance with if you got the chance?

When you say dance what do you mean? Slow, fun, or like??? Idk. Probably John Deacon

Whose voice do you like least of the 3 singing members of the band?

I DON’T I LOVE THEM ALL PLEASE DON’T MAKE ME CHOOSE.

In your opinion what is the worst outfit any of them ever wore?

Hard Life. It’s rediculous and I love it. (Actually highkey would totally wear John or Brian’s costumes lmao)

If you could steal one of their features what would you take? (ie. Roger’s eyes, Brian’s hair, John’s butt, Freddie’s stache etc.)

Roger’s Eyes. I don’t think I’d look good with the other two lmao

Have you ever seen Highlander or Flash Gordon?

I’ve seen Flash a couple times. It’s super bad lmao

Is there a Queen song you really don’t like? If so what is it?

Is it a cop out to say some stuff from Hot Space? I really don’t enjoy much off Hot Space other than maybe Cool Cat.

Do you know how to boil an egg?

I don’t, but I’m sure a quick google search will tell me.

Opinion of Hot Space

I guess I answered this one, but I’m not a huge fan. Given what was being done behind the scenes at the time.

If you were friends with the band who would you go to for comfort?

TRICK QUESTION. I internalize all my problems because I cannot burden people lmao

What Queen song can you absolutely not skip even if you’re not in the mood for it?

‘39 and Good ol Fashioned Lover Boy

I’m In Love with My Car. Love it or Hate it?

A jam ™ lmao

Do you play Scrabble?

Not often but my sis and I do sometimes. I love that the band did that while on tour.

Who has the best fashion sense in the band?

All? All of them… 

If you could meet any of the three living band members (including sneaky Deaky) who would you choose to meet?

Brian. He’s been such an inspiration to me and his solos were the reason I began playing in the first place.

If you had to pick an inanimate object to have a crush on would it be a car or a guitar? (Yes, I’m poking fun at Brian and Rog)

I’m already mocked for being in love with my music so defs guitar.

Have you been inspired to pursue something musical because of Queen?

Literally all of my music career.

Millionaire Waltz or Dreamer’s Ball?

BOTH?

If you were friends with the band who do you think would come to you for comfort or advice?

I’m not sure. I feel like John might, but it’s hard to say. People generally seem to open up a lot to me because I am a listener but?????

Do you want to be a penguin when you grow up?

Always. Slide on my belly and avoid financial problems? Hell yeah.

Who do you think is the best looking member of the band?

UH. Brian. Uhm. I haven’t had a crush on him for over half my life lmaooo Although Roger was and still is a very pretty person lmao

Opinion on Queen + Adam Lambert

It’s not Freddie, and it never will be. However, Lambert is very talented and I am so excited to see them in Concert this summer! I’m sure they will be great

F**k, Marry, Kill… go!

UH. UHHHH. 

Fuck Rog

Marry Brian

Kill Paul lmao????

Favorite outfit worn by any of them

I love their Radio Ga Ga outfits so much, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”, and Brian’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” look. Also there’s an early look from Roger that makes me cry when I see it, but I don’t remember what tour it was

This is them respectively:

Is there a song by Queen that you feel is overrated?

Not completely, but I feel there are some very UNDERrated songs

Have you seen Queen in any form? (With Freddie or Adam or Paul)

Nope, but seeing them in summer!!!

Do you follow any of the band on social media?

Of course I do lmao

Do you own any Queen albums and on what format are they? (Vinyl, tape, cd, etc)

I don’t actually, but I listen non stop on spotify lmao

Freddie with or without the ‘stache?

I think the stache was a very iconic look, but I love them both.

Favorite song written by Freddie?

Defs “I was Born to Love You” 

John with long hair or short?

Short. 

Favorite John song?

I love “You’re my Best Friend” because he wrote it for his wife, and it makes me so happy

Do you like badgers?

They p rad

Favorite Brian written song?

Driven by You or ‘39 defs

Rog with or without sun/glasses?

Defs without. He has a nice face

Favorite Roger song?

It’s lowkey not good, but I love it so much “Future Management” Aka (You don’t need nobody else but me)

Do you think you could beat any of them at Scrabble?

Not at all

Do you think you could out drink any of them?

DEFS NOT. I am such a light drinker. One swig of (probably aged) vodka was enough to put me out lmao

Whose house would you choose to live in?

idk I never went to their houses?

Thoughts on the song 39?

I think I’ve made it clear lmao

Do you like cats?

Very much!

Do you like kids?

I just get anxious around them

VERY MUCH

Do you like cars?

I was never quite able to, but my dad is and so was one of my exes which is where I get me (very minimal knowledge)

Favorite album?

Great fuckin question

Who has the nicest eyes in the band?

You already fuckin know but also they all do! Especially when they all smile. 

If you could go back in time to any concert they ever performed, which would it be?

I would love to see Wembley or Liveaid tbh, but I’d also love to see when they just start after Smile.

Do you think John Deacon will ever come out of hiding?

Not sure, and I think we should 100% respect him and his family and his privacy tbh??? Like??? Let him live.

Who do you think will outlive the rest?

Brian probably because he bikes so much.

Do you prefer pre or post synth Queen?

I’m okay with both! I think they’re both good for different reasons!

If you could tell any one band member something (including Freddie) who would it be and what would you say?

Of course Brian. I would thank him (and the rest of the band) for inspiring me so much. Probs about the story of first hearing them on the radio and listening to those solos and saying that I wanted to do that. Idk. 

Realistically, I’d probably be trying not to cry and make a fool of myself and ultimately fail…
