I spent so much time on this... Here's a summary for my little fic under the cut:

Elsa accidentally sneezes into her bukkehorn, causing a giant snowball to fly all the way to the Southern Isles, hitting Hans. Inside the snowball is a mischievous Snowgie, which Hans adopts, hoping to use it to his advantage. However, the Snowgie causes more trouble than expected. Despite this, Hans grows fond of the little snowman, but during the events of Frozen II, the Snowgies disappear without Elsa's magic, leaving Hans feeling empty.

Desperate to bring back his little snowman companion, Hans travels to Arendelle in secret and meets Olaf, who agrees to help him on his mission. When they finally meet Elsa in the Enchanted Forest, she is still angry with Hans and doesn't believe him. However, Olaf convinces her to see if Hans is telling the truth by going to Ahtohallan and viewing his memories.

During their journey to Ahtohallan, Hans falls into the water and almost drowns, but Elsa saves him. In the end, Elsa uses her magic and Gale's help to restore the Snowgies, and Hans decides to let his Snowgie go to stay with the rest of its family. Elsa also confronts her past mistakes and restores her relationship with Olaf. Although Hans' future remains uncertain, he is grateful for the experience and the chance to make some things right.

omg k i just saw ur top 3 landoscar moments post from october 2023... any changes/updates since then? new moments made it onto the list? or if not... favorite moment of 2024 so far? (i just like hearing (reading?) ur thoughts it's like reading an intellectual (but still sappy in my fave way) bedtime story 🥰)

hklsdfhlsfhd naurrr... this is so embarrassing why am i still deeply landoscarpilled 6 months later 😔

but honestly i have been thinking about this and the sheer volume of crasyinsane material and lore we've accrued since last year because now i'm like how would you even begin constructing a top 3....... the possibilities are endless!!!

in terms of pre-october content that i might have missed before, i'd say most of this ask still holds (lando's biggest fan dot mp4 will NEVER lose its insanity to me. quintessential landoscar meta as far as i'm concerned) but now i also desperately need 2 shout out portrait painting challenge...... when it came out i was of course susceptible to the "you look beautiful" bantz though mostly just wrote it off as shipbait and since then i've looked back on this video multiple times and been like ?! why was oscar's deference to lando so insane actually.... i've alr mentioned this b4 but 1) oscar taking lando's intro in stride and immediately responding i am ready lando norris 2) oscar playfully acquiescing and letting lando use purple after he'd already chosen it 3) >like 5 seconds later. "you like purple don't you?" "uhhhh... i can do now" (who says that.) 4) another stunning display of lando Nooticing and fixating on oscar's hair swoop and last but not least 5) the way oscar FOLDS OVER and giggles helplessly when lando tells him i've just done you all pink ??? like. OKAY. cheers

looking @ recent content..... personally i find 814 so fascinating because while there are many Discrete Moments i can point out that make my brain explode i also feel like to some degree the reason we (? or maybe just me. again i apologize for the nonsensical drivel i create) love to make parallel gifsets of them is because they have such an understated dynamic built off many minute unspoken habits and wordless exchanges and essentially Patterns so there is less of like... a need for spontaneous intimacy.... if that makes sense. it's about the consistency of reciprocal comfort... iterations..... palisades palisades......... ok this is totally not related to the ask i've just been rotating it in my mind

anyway 10 personable favs !!! arranged chronologically

finish the lyrics (oct 2023): a deeply obvious one but you can't Not include it 😩 i can't believe this came out a week after i answered that because seriously what da hell. @ OSCAR PIASTRI WHAT IS WRONG WITH YEWWWWWWWW. there are sooooo many things i could mention here that i feel have already been exhaustively expounded, the most obvious of course being the classic ojp Heart Eyes moment(s) (Many such cases......but also specifically the love story one) (like i'd argue silverstone was mostly responsible for getting 814 off the ground BUT this video was when their dynamic became the most "mainstream" and accessible to fandom as a whole... the amount of non-f1 fans i saw qrting reups of that clip!!!!) anyway but then you also get 👉 whatever the inside joke they have about old town road is. oscar saying "i reckon you'd be unreal in a karaoke bar in japan" which i still think is such a Line... just me ??? the way he verryryryyyy softly sings "yes" with lando at the end of their love story karaoke and the insane camera angle of him just out of focus. like. really in general there is just such a soft and lighthearted and Fun air to their dynamic in this video that makes me ;__; AND this is another prime moment of lando narrating oscar's firsts for him (singing on camera at mcl!!!) . ALSAURR lando tapping oscar on the bicep while sarcastically complimenting him. once again for two guys who never touch it compels me... actually i could go on about this video tbh like how oscar nearly falls off the couch giggling at lando playing the songs together and then it cuts to the next one and he's suddenly all flushed and his bangs have gotten all fucked up. he's so... they're so... let's move on.

splunk sim city challenge (nov 2023): many classic lines such as "i haven't even distracted you yet!" + oscar knowing his podium year and lando saying "you're a nerd!" + lando going ":) :o are you okay?" and so on... general setup of this challenge was crasy tbh. how it revolves around disrupting the other person's focus and the visual asymmetry of one being sat higher and having to lean over to distract them and how oscar just giggles goodnaturedly when lando sticks his cue cards in front of his face instead of getting annoyed and—SO ON. also forever obsessed with how oscar wordlessly lifts his eyebrows at lando at the end lol

that one sticker video (nov 2023): this video is insaaAAANEEEE to me. ANYONE ELSE??? first of all oscar and lando gingerly standing across each other on either side of the flower bed (while zak brown assumes a power stance directly on it lmfao) is already so visually overwhelming but then the way oscar glances up as he's removing the sticker from the cap, how you can seeeeee him calculating the move the entire time and being adorably pleased about it, @__@ the way lando grins at him afterward... (also crying at zb glancing at them and being equally charmed by their antics) wahhh TT__TT the vibes of this clip... immaculate

oscar thanking lando in their final post-race message (nov 2023): honestly the entire message in general but :__) one of my fav 814 moments OAT is oscar including lando in his thank you speech and lando not really expecting it and being genuinely touched by the gesture. lando is so endearingly fidgety the entire time honestly and the way he perks up a bit and wrings his hands together and playfully smiles at oscar when he mentions him... okayyy. anyway 2 me it's reminiscent of yes/no challenge "am i the funniest teammate you've ever had?" "(shyly) yeahhh... you're up there" (said in the same baby-ish voice as "so... lando?" UGH. UGHHHH) and how lando genuinely gets a bit awkwardly flustered by it like!!! god. wait ALSO i don't have the space for this so i'm throwing in end of season awards MMMM debatable + how gleefully lando threw oscar under the bus and in general just the incredible expression work going on for both of them during this exchange. God [2]

si rapid fire questions (dec 2023): this video was crucial in determining that oscar... well. is obsessed with accommodating and mirroring lando. many things we already knew (aka listening to whatever music lando listens to; insert prema lap "maybe i should move to an english team because the music's better" moment here) but equally important is oscar "stealing" lando's dinner, how lando presses him on the back to the future question until oscar just changes his answer to his, and of course as you know per my blog title NO I'M GOING TO KEEP YOU HAPPY is in my eyes top 5 most insane things oscar piastri has ever said. likeee... lando showing a bit of jokey remorse over enforcing his rules (don't even get me started about lando and game/challenge rules...) but oscar being sooo determined 2 honor his teasing 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 :melting_face: x100!!!

need to split this into two lists because apparently there's a div character limit 😔 continuing on

hilton spa ad (feb 2024): of course this pained me because of This Moment (specifically lando bringing his hand back down when oscar tried to lift it from beneath him 😮‍💨) but that is neither here nor there. obsessed with the salmon at the engineering table anecdote because the most logical explanation for oscar Not doing that anymore is because lando didn't like it... or he just eats different things now but we already know that he's adopted lando's preferred meal b4 so that's equally a lot 2 digest !!! also >the callback to their one million LOOK AT YOU/HIM moments >how they touch shoulders exactly Once when they sit down and then never again despite lando continuously leaning into oscar's space to get to the button... eugh. also just top tier oscar faces + hair 🥰

opening title behind the scenes (mar 2024): thinking about all the hilarious gifsets of this moment that i ate up deliciously 🧡🧡🧡 this was such a significant reminder of how 814 have just gotten like, exceedingly comfortable around each other & have learned 2 communicate via the most inscrutable expressions and noises and gestures that somehow suit Them perfectly x__x although i doubt they will ever really become ~effusive~ with each it's frankly even more devastating that they both help each other care less about maintaining appearances / how they often get so sucked into their interactions (see next bullet point) that everything else kind of just fades away in that instant.... all right ⚠️⚠️⚠️ maybe that's a bit of a stretch but we can pretend for the rpf lens!!! see also my tag spiel in this beautiful tuva gifset.

photo day antics (mar 2024): do you ever just...... what went on in bahrain. honestly. more from this weekend in a second but this video plus the accompanying photo encapsulate their dynamic so perfectly it makes me scream... how 814 are not only so annoyingly focused on each other all the time but also stand SOOO UNNECESSARILY CLOSE while every other teammate pairing is spaced out normally. yuki and checo glancing at them alksfdhdf 😭 truly so ridiculous that the poor photo person tried to get lando's attention and they pretended to comply for two seconds before oscar was lifting his foot to show lando his boot again. also why did it take oscar a million years to step away from lando and put a more appropriate amount of space between them...?! and even then it was barely that much........... (10 paragraphs of speaking later) I prefer really not to speak.

accidental waist grab (mar 2024): this gave me psychic damage so bad i should be lobotomized. we've already spoken about this perhaps erm excessively but why did lando feel the need to stand JUST as close to him if not closer after they broke apart. there was truly no need...... honestly the way this ship will have us looking up driver cams and staring at esteban ocon's ass as he gets out his car just for a single glimpse of their parc fermé dynamic.

bahrain post-race interview antics (mar 2024): You already knowwwww. the sky sports "he follows me everywhere" moment is equally important but the f1tv interview giving us horrifically natural banter (juxtaposing this with their previous interview moments...), lando's dumb faux australian accent and oscar playing along as always, and most of all them HIJACKING THE INTERVIEW & commiserating on camera together ❓❗️ lichrally the grid photo all over again. often when i have emotions over an 814 moment i worry that i sound overly He_Only_Got_Two_Eyes.jpeg but truly sometimes two people are just objectively insane. plus land of piastri/lando piastri.....

also runner up is the f1tv interview with lawrence aka lando's cooing noise @ oscar discussing lily (anyone else frame by frame color pick oscar's face to see how badly he flushed... no? just me?) + the beautiful self-aware surfacing of the CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS of their relationship...... !!! love when 2 guys expose and confirm their own sincerity in trying to verbally resist it. hem

is this anything. sorry eve LKSFDHLDHSF thank u for the ask & pls lmk what ur fav moments are too 🧡

Love the latest edit for Angrboða (Especially for Angrboða Appreciation week)! <3

I'm curious (and have been in a little while), but have you ever thought about making tutorials of how you style your edits or is there any tutorials out there that you reccomend for people who's starting out? This ask is late, but I hope you're taking care of yourself in any way (with life being merciful of course). 💕💕💕 ^^

Hey there. Firstly, I'm glad you enjoyed my little contributions to Angrboda Appreciation Week and we have Serena/@stupidrant to thank for making it possible by organizing and hosting it for us all. Angrboda deserves all that and more.

Regarding the gif styling process, there are several types of design for gifsets and techniques that I normally use. Seeing as you mentioned one of my latest ones, I assume it is specifically the "colorful/vivid" gifs that you would like me to delve into the process of creating. I will be using this gifset as an example of the most common design I go for, which is three color edits (as I am not skilled enough to pull off anything more complicated and versatile). Like this gif:

As you can see, there are three dominant colors - a classic combination of Cyan, Magenta and Yellow, with additional dashes of orange and blue. Now, I have to admit that in order to produce a gifset a day for the Angrboda Week I shamelessly cheated with this one and picked the most "easy" scenes to manipulate the color. As you can see, the top two scenes in the composition do not have much movement in them and have one dominant color which you can enhance or change to another color.

With the winter Atreus and Angrboda scene I simply enhanced the blues, changed them to deep cyans, added some cyan into whites for background and then changed the reds of Atreus's clothes to be magenta while erasing the color change from the rest of the scene (especially their faces) with layer mask. I will be covering this part in this tutorial because the biggest challenge of making colorful gifs is to avoid color manipulation affecting characters/actors faces. It is especially important to make sure that by increasing brightness and saturation you don't whitewash POC characters/actors (will be touching up on that too).

Then there is the main scene in the composition where the original footage has a convenient background in the form of a carpet the two are lying on; which has several colors in it already. Thus, one can tweak those to match the exact color combination they need (will be addressing this as well), in this case cyan+magenta+yellow.

It makes it even easier that there is almost no movement in the scene and it takes just two brush strokes to erase whatever color changes one has applied from their faces.

And I also realize everything I just said above would not make one lick of sense to those just starting out which is why consider it a preface to an actual tutorial.

It is also an explanation to why I have decided, for this occasion, to choose a more challenging scene (not included in this gifset) where there is A) much less color to manipulate and work with and B) a little bit more movement.

So let us go from this:

to this:

Now, do keep in mind that as a separate gif, in it's own right, this looks too obnoxiously vivid and not the result one should strive for if they are making a regular gifset. We are focusing specifically on "stylized" multi-color gifsets now.

In order to get to the point where you have the gif in it's original color (top one), you have to have a basic knowledge on gif making: uploading screencaps/frames to photoshop using a player (I use KMPlayer) or a built in Photoshop feature. Then you have to crop and resize the gif to meet Tumblr standards and, most importantly, sharpen it. When the entire composition is ready, you will have to set the frame rate (the speed of the finished gif, where all the colors are enhanced and all the scenes are merged together).

To accomplish the above, as well as to learn basic coloring, I recommend these thorough, step by step tutorials that guide beginners through the entire process and offer different approaches to the basics of gif making: X X

Once you do have the top gif, sharpened and playing in your Photoshop timeline, let's get to our vivid coloring. First thing first, you have to apply basic coloring before you have anything to go off of in terms of color manipulation.

In many cases people use ready made base PSDs or adjust lighting, contrast and saturation themselves using Curves, Levels and Vibrance Layers. In both methods, with scenes like this where there is not much color dimension and one dominating color (in this case blue in the mid-tones), you might end up with a result that enhances only that one color. While this is important for further manipulation, it also has a side effect of making the coloring look flat and the skin tones do not come out right. Like this:

It is not necessarily a terrible start for a base - the contrast and saturation already look better than in the original - but as you can see, the blues and magentas are in all the wrong places: on characters' skin and in the areas where they make reds and yellows look snuffed out and watered down.

So let's add dimension to the scene before we apply our base (for base PSDs I recommend following the tips and coloring process of this blogger on YouTube, for they excel at fixing dimly lit, undersaturated scenes; most of my base PSDs were created using their methods). To do that, create a Curves layer below any "base PSD" or before you tweak the lighting, contrast and saturation.

Once you have the Curves layer, click on the mid-tones eyedropper, find the spot in your gif that is neither too dark or too bright that has too much dominant color (in this case blue) and click on that spot to offset this color a little. Like this:

This is the result you get:

Already better! This is the trick that works wonders on more tinted scenes (like the ones in Ironwood a lot of which have a yellow tint and this method balances out the yellow by adding blues to mid-tones and making the shot cooler, as opposed to warmer like here). No more blue tint all over the characters and more dimension added to the surroundings due to yellows and reds being automatically enhanced.

However, the color still looks flat, Atreus's face has gained a sickly greenish tone and further adjustments might end up whitewashing Angrboda's skin. So I went on and added several new layers to fix/prevent this:

A Color Balance Layer: Mid-tones: Reds: +4 (adds the saturation and vibrancy to the overall gif)

A Selective Color Layer: Reds, the blacks slider + 100 (ensures that Angrboda's skin is not washed out when you add more brightness and curves layers later; duplicate this layer if need be, depending on your coloring and character's original skin tone). In my case, I use the "Absolute" setting instead of "Relative" because the goal in this one is to bring back/preserve the original skin tone despite upping the brightness vs oversaturating the skin.

All of the above layers should be placed below the base PSD (that's an important part). With them and the base PSD the gif will look like this:

Finally, a solid base to work with.

This is the point where I forgive Kratos or I kill him where the "colorful" part comes in. You have two options for the next step: try one of the many ready-made PSDs on here or create your own. For this gif I used a ready made PSD (which I claim no credit for) + my own adjustments. The end goal is to enhance the Blues and the Yellows.

To do that, create a new Selective Color Layer, go to Yellows and increase the Yellow in it (pull the yellow slider to the right). Depending on what hue you are going for, play with the Cyans slider in Yellows and move it a little to the left to remove the greenish hue and add dashes of orange into yellows. Then create a new Selective Color layer (you can use the same one but I prefer to create a new layer for each color enhancement), go to Blues and pull the Cyans slider all the way to the right and the Yellow slider all the way to the left.

For Blues I normally use the "Absolute" setting rather than "Relative" in the Selective Color layers. This makes blue more saturated without affecting other colors. You end up with a pretty blue background and a generally much more pleasant looking gif.

After the ready made PSD (I recommend this Resource blog to look for those - it has a vast collection of PSDs, including bases and vibrant ones, for Live Action and Animated media alike) and my own layers enhancing the colors mentioned above, I get this:

If you are making a regular gifset, this is where you would want to stop. But since my previously stated goal was to make an unashamedly vibrant edit, I will continue.

This stage is where color change/manipulation starts. Remember one simply rule: for a manipulation to work, you HAVE to first enhance the color you are manipulating. In this case, I wanted yellows to become purple in some places, particularly behind Atreus (the house wood) and I wanted the reds of his clothes to gain a purplish/magenta hue. For background, I wanted Blues to be more cyan.

The Blues to Cyans part is the easiest: just create a Selective Color layer, go to the Blues tab and pull the cyans slider to the right again and the magentas to the left as much as you need. Play around with the yellow setting to see which works best. Then go to Cyans tab and enhance the cyans (pull the appropriate slider to the right) and see if you want to tweak any other slider to get the hue you need.

My settings are as follows:

Selective Color - Blues: cyans + 100, magentas - 18

Selective Color 2 - Blues: cyans + 100, magentas - 50, yellows - 70

This is guaranteed to make blues more vibrant and then turn blues to cyans. Everything else is up to preference.

The Yellows and Reds to Purple or Magenta is more challenging.

For that, I created a New Folder, added a Selective Color layer, pulled the "yellow" slider in Yellows all the way to the right (this is to make yellow as vibrant as possible; duplicate the layer if you want even more vibrancy), then created another Selective Color Layer, went to Reds and pulled the Cyans slider all the way to the left (this enhances the Reds and makes them more vibrant).

Once I had Yellows and Reds as saturated as possible I changed both to be purple. This can be done by using Selective Color or, if you are a beginner, the easiest way would be Hue/Saturation layer. Pick the color you want to change from the drop down list in the layer's menu and move the slider to get the desired result. Play with the saturation and lightness if need be.

As you have probably guessed, doing this would mess up characters' skin badly (even before making the colors purple and definitely after that). That's where Layer Masks come in.

There is a reason why I mentioned creating a New Folder earlier. But fret not if you didn't do that - you can make a Group out of specific layers at any point. For that, select the Layers that you need in your layer panel and Click Ctrl + G. This is how you have a group of layers where you enhanced the colors and then changed them.

I named and color coded my "purple group" to make it easier to get oriented, as this gif already has an inexcusable number of layers.

Now that you have the layers grouped, add an Inverted Layer Mask to hide them. Click on the Layer Mask in your bottom panel, then click properties, then click Invert. The mask will become black. This will hide all the A) Yellow and Red enhancements and B) the changes you've made to those colors to make them Purple. Character skins and other areas of the gif will go back to normal.

Once it's done, pick a Brush tool, make sure to choose the White color and paint over the Inverted Mask on your "Purple Group" in the area that you want to be purple to "reveal" that area.

In my case it was the wood behind Atreus, some bits of his clothing and a little "glow" behind him to fit him into the background.

As you can see, we got purple added to the backgrounds without affecting any other areas of the scene.

You have probably noticed that the finished gif above has a lot more yellow in it than there is now (especially the accessories on Angrboda's outfit, her earnings and Atreus's armor). Then there is snow behind Angrboda that has more cyan in the finished version too. After all the enhancements we still do not have that in the screenshot above.

So how do we get there?

The answer to all of that is: at this stage I created a new Selective Color Layer, put it below the PSD coloring which is demonstrated in the gif above (the one I recommended to stop at if you're not up for playing with colors), went to Whites and pulled the yellow slider to the right. This added yellows to Atreus and Angrboda's clothes and some "glowing" touches to Fen's fur. I added a Layer Mask like before, except this time I did not invert it but took a Black brush and erased the areas where I did not want whites to be Yellow. Such as the snow.

Then I added another Selective Color layer, went to Whites again and pulled the Cyans slider to the right to add some cyan into the snow. Experiment with the Brush settings to find the right opacity, flow and hardness.

Before adding color to Whites:

After:

I didn't really like the lemon shade of the yellows that I got as the result of adding them to Whites. Hence why I created another Selective Color layer, went to Yellows tab (not Whites anymore - those have already been transformed into yellows and cyans and you no longer need that tab) and pulled the cyans slider to the left and the magenta slider to the right to add some red/orange into Yellow.

I also enhanced the Purples by adding saturation to them (Selective Color, Magentas tab, play with the settings to see which would work best).

Then I created a new empty layer and added some light brush strokes (30 percents flow - I use the flow setting instead of opacity for the Brush but again, this depends on the scene and on the result you strive for) and a "light/glow" textures, setting one of them to "screen" mode and other to "lighten".

And here we have a gif demonstrated above, that can be used as one of the images for a bigger "colorful" composition:

In many cases I use the Blending technique to combine scenes (like in the bigger gif above) but it doesn't always work. In some cases a layout with multiple gifs looks much better (like the other big gif in the set linked above).

If you're looking for tutorials on how to blend scenes, I once again recommend checking this blog and their navigation page. It features a worth of educational content, including some of the best and most comprehensible Blending tutorials.

Hope you have a good time and hit me up if there is anything else you want to ask :)

i'm sure you're probs sick of this whole thing and totally feel free to not publish this but i just want to say you fully hit the nail on the head pointing out that some of the biggest lestappen fics going deal with uniquely lgbt+ themes and the cishet people eat that up and they eat up all the cutesy mlm content but then claim to feel alienated by real gay people existing and particularly gay people who aren't men.

really grinded my gears a little bit because like max and charles are not (publicly and thus thats where this conversation ends bc boundaries) gay but i'd wager a big chunk of the fic writers and tumblr users and editors and artists probably are queer - and at least speaking for myself particularly before i was comfortable with my sexuality fandom spaces have always been where I expressed that before I could in real life so to like come into a queer space enagage with mlm content and then go "actually you real life gay person shut up about it its alienating me" is like ???

sorry this turned into a rant but as a fellow lesbian the tl;dr is basically fuck those anons (and honestly you were right, alex IS everything and charles IS just ken)

I received a lot of asks on this topic and I'm determined to publish every single one and give them answers they deserved, mostly just to show everyone that the homophobic anons are vastly outnumbered. So thank you for sharing this with us <3

I think I speak for a lot of us on here when I say that tumblr fandom space is where I discovered my queerness/that being gay was an actual thing that people did, and was probably where it was first expressed. I was reblogging this gifset like five times a day while cosplaying irl as a straight person.

Hi Laurie! 💛

You know what's coming, hehe 👀

I saw this in another fandom and now I'm sending the same question to a bunch of Jake girlies (gn) because it’s so interesting seeing everybody’s answers!

Who are your Top 3 Jake boys and why? Is there a specific piece of art (fic, gif, fan art, etc.) for them that you like a lot?

hiiiiiiiiii!!! 💖 i do know what's coming teehee! i love his characters so much. even if the movie is not up my alley, his character always stands out. i'll watch everything he's in just because i'm obsessed (except spirit untamed, it is against my principle to support this horrible version of spirit the stallion of the cimarron) i just love them like they're just so neat i love them so much. OKAY TIME TO CHOOSE.

Elwood Dalton

i cannot believe that davis was dethroned as my forever ultimate favorite character but he was. dalton is so special to me. i've been obsessed with him since the very beginning when i was looping videos to get his full name and start writing for him immediately. so he's been living in my mind rent from for a LONG and i hope he never leaves. i lost count of how many times i've watched the movie (especially the scenes with laura!!!), it's so good. i'm already seated for the sequel idc what people say i want it and i will love it! also, i love how dalton ressembles billy and lou! the scene where he punches the guy to death and tell him how he will perish was so hot like like welcome back lou bloom you were missed <3 dalton is funny, and suicidal and caring and violent and what more could i ask? yeah okay i could ask to use his titties as pillows to fall asleep on.

my absolute favourite dalton creations are the wonderful gifs that @stephendorff made! i proclaim myself as their biggest fan when it comes to jake's gifs because oh my god the talent!!! i adore the parallel gifsets, so let me link you to a bunch! omg me when + nice hoodie + so bloody yum + i will cover these men with hello kitty bandaids + need both of them at the same time.

Detective Loki

he's an obvious one! jack twist, donnie darko and detective loki must be the most well loved characters in this fandom FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS. i love loki. i'm convinced deep in my soul that he would absolutely despise me. i can't shut up, i'm clingy as fuck and we'd spend most of his rare free time watching barbie movies. but it could be nice! i'd pack him his lunch, i'd learn to iron his shirts, i'd follow him to his barber and beg the man to give me the same haircut... like, we'd have a good life! aside from getting eaten alive by the constant fear that loki is in danger but shh. i love loki so much, i love all of the mysterious details about him, i love that jake played such a big part into building this character.

there are SO many amazing fics for detective loki, and rightfully so! he deserves it! in my opinion, @det-loki is the best writer. star captures loki in such an unique way, her writing feels like deleted scenes & extra footage from the movie. i know i always recommend star when it comes to loki fics but if you've ever read what she's posted, you would do the same! @charliehoennam has also posted some amazing det loki fics recently that i cannot recommend enough!!! here are the links: cat n mouse, dinner date & the dinner party (my personal favourite!).

Tommy Cahill

when i watched brothers, i conveniently just... skipped the military scenes. so the movie was all about tommy and i loved it. wow what a sweet romcom. i just love him. he's fun and sweet and he has had it so rough with his family that treats him like a black sheep. his father is acting like tommy is the failure when the only failure i'm seeing is a parent who failed to love his child like he deserved. AND I WOULD GIVE HIM ALL THE LOVE HE NEEDS! endless unconditional love. all he wants is to have a family of his own and be happy and become a better person. i have no doubt that he has what it takes to achieve his goals. he's my beanie baby and i love him to the moon and back.

controversy alert! but... i'm not mad at tommy and grace for kissing (skipping most of sam scenes helps a lot) but like... he was nice to grace for the most part, he helped her with the kitchen, he was so fun with the kids... he can't do anything wrong you know? i have horrible morals, i'm aware. so i'll just link to the video of the kiss scene because i love it and i love watching it and i wish it was me.

my top 3 usually fluctuates, but i'd say that overall, it's the same five characters that are on rotation. dalton, loki, tommy, davis and right now the 5th position is switching between john kinley & jerry brinson. i do want to say that i was pleasantly surprised with how much i liked anthony swofford and brian taylor when i watched their respective movies, i didn't think i'd enjoy their characters much but it might be time to retire my #1 bald!jake hater title. it was so hard to choose though. i feel bad for the ones i left out. i love you danny! and billy! and donnie! and adam! and holden! and okay fine i'll shut up. i know i've told you already, but this was such a sweet initiative to go around and spread some joy!!! thank you for doing this, and for sending it to me as well! 🥰
