can we normalize liking a bands most popular song??

A lot of people on here and various apps makes fun of people for liking a band's most popular song, like who cares?? I can like enter sandman or freak on a leash or even bohemian rhapsody without having some stupid person online saying "oh their overrated" "oh you're taste is trash" Its so dumb just let people like whatever the hell they want without criticizing them?? Just because its the bands most popular song doesn't mean that its bad or anything like that. People are not going to gravitate to the 100 stream deep cut you grasp.

I'm gonna be doing quick kofi doodles to help with moving costs!

So here's how it's gonna go:

Each $5 gets 5 minutes of doodle time. So up to $20 for a 20 minute doodle. I won't go over 20 minutes, so if you tip more than that, you will not get more time for your doodle.

Only 1 character per doodle.

If you want something specific of the character, keep it simple.

Make sure to provide a reference for the character if it is an OC.

I will do suggestive, but no full NSFW.

And no ship children of sanscest, font***t, or frans. (The latter two would be block on site.)

Ofc, you must be 18 or older for this. No minors here.

These will just be done when I find moments to do it! So if it takes a while to get to yours, do not worry, I will get to it eventually.

Example of a 5 minute doodle:

(I don't wanna bother with sketching more than that for examples atm, so this is all the example you get.)

I don't know how long I'll be doing these. I will let y'all know when I am closing them.

✨Gif Coloring✨

Hello everyone! After having a conversation with the lovely @bizarrelittlemew​, and being inspired by her immaculate Gif-Coloring Post, I decided to follow suit with some examples of my own. I make this post to stand in solidarity with her, as well as all our fellow gif-makers, and to show that gif-making is in fact a very time-consuming process! It’s not as simple as feeding frames into a program and *poof*, you’re done. There are in fact numerous, numerous, numerous steps that go into beautifying footage for your viewing pleasure!

The “raw” footage is on the left (in quotations because it is still trimmed down, and the frame rate has been edited, but the original lighting/coloring remains), and my edited versions are on the right.

As you can see, quite a bit different lol! My process usually involves picking the scene, shortening said scene in my video editing program to the desired amount of frames, removing frame interpolation, cropping it down to the proper size, removing any fun little frame artifacts, playing around with the desired frame rate, before beginning to manipulate the lighting, levels, contrast, and colors. Then, I will often have to sharpen and blur to my liking, which is a whole process on its own, before fist-fighting Photoshop’s memory issues l m a o.

And even all of that does not account for what others may do, such as overlaying gifs within gifs, creating word art, working with geometric shapes, etc etc!

It’s a process, and it’s a form of art. And just as you wouldn’t re-post someone’s fanfic, someone’s video, or someone’s music, please don’t re-post gifs without credit! Reblog from the source, use the add gif function, or include the artist’s @ if needed be! It’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s appreciated more than you know.

Support your artists, and we’ll be so happy to continue creating for you! <3

who/what is redanian?

Redanian Intelligence is a site that collects and shares info about the filming of various fantasy TV shows. Among other things, they have contacts in casting, so they're a great source of who will actually be in a show. Or even earlier in production, with descriptions of the roles a show is casting and the sort of actors they're looking for.

For example, this is their article for HOTD season 2. The section of "actors with unknown roles" tends to inspire a lot of fan speculation, but they typically turn out to be unnamed servants/soldiers or smallfolk or very minor noble characters. But as I was saying, the role of Benjicot Blackwood wasn't listed in the article, and the actor who played "Davos Blackwood" wasn't even there as an unknown, so when people were thinking the episode 3 trailer kid had to be Bloody Ben, I was worried that couldn't be true. And well... 🤷‍♀️

Oh shoot I owed y'all an update the other day! Whoopsie.

First and foremost, the animatic is in progress! No sneak peeks for you quite yet, but I think all you False girlies out there are gonna like it :P

I also want to let you know that I've queued up all the Gem fanworks that Tumblr refused to show me on Gem's day. My sincerest apologies again to everyone whose art was missed due to this site's lovely and functional tag system. Get ready for an absolute barrage of Gem fanart early next week!

Finally, whenever the June Queue runs itself dry, we're planning on making some changes to the tagging system on the blog to make it more navigable and filterable. Specifics on this will be explained when it happens.

I just have to remind myself sometimes that no matter what anyone else says, the way a piece of media makes me feel and the positive impact it has had on my queer identity is valid, and that tearing myself apart thinking I have to defend it or questioning my own place within queer communities is not at all important when compared to the almost tangible sense of 'rightness' that piece of media helped me to feel about myself.

man.

literally the people in the BrBa fandom who like think its super important to focus somewhat on the bad things Jesse's done instead of just acknowledging those things tend to have misunderstandings on either how selling drugs increase harm (which while there's other complexities to parts of the drug trade, simply making and providing drugs alone does not increase the harm those drugs cause) or they have misremembered some of his actual actions as being more in his control than they actually were, and with some people it really feels like it comes from the stigma against addicts even if they think they're not falling into that

and like again this lack of understanding around everything relating to drugs and addiction especially, even from people that mean well, is the whole reason it's more important to focus on the good in Jesse and how he's the victim rather than acting like there's no one acknowledges his flaws and the bad things he's done, cause a huge fucking swath of people outside our little tumblr circles do and act like every single bad thing in his life as entirely his responsibility without aknowledging any way that the world worked against him or the abuse he faced and see him as less of a person because he's an addict

and like I do think if Jesse wasn't the type of person that sees his own flaws and ultimately tries to do his best to change and learn even in the terrible situation he's in that doesn't want that change to happen, and instead needed people to like... constantly tell him to be better, then yeah it'd definitely be much more important to focus on those flaws and the bad things he did... but that's not the case, even the one thing he plans to do that was awful AND fully his choice (trying to sell drugs to the rehab group) was something he snapped himself out of when he was able to concretely see a consequence he hadn't considered before, this doesn't negate that trying to sell drugs to the rehab group was wrong, but it does add complexity to how we judge that action playing into Jesse as a whole

like you can't just sit there and act like ur so smart for aknowledging a character written like a real person is complex without thinking about the greater social commentary you're getting across when you insist we can't simply aknowledge the bad things a character does and have to still really judge them on those things or say calling them a "good person" erases the bad they've done and not consider if what you're saying is like... useful on a wider scale in combating the stigmatization of characters like Jesse (especially surrounding drug selling/making/using drugs) or if you're just refering to "woobification" bullshit that isn't particularly prevalent in the wider world
