Deva and Varadha in SALAAR (2023)

[supercalifragipopculturevomit]

Revisited this breathtaking clip from Dorian's Cualquier Otra Parte music video. When the video quality is subpar, you can only do so much in editing, but I had a feeling it was just a matter of time until I learned enough to bring my vision to life. Now I have two versions I can live with:

In comparison, made THESE in 2023 💀 early days, baby.

my mortal enemies (not the ladies, the ladies are the loves of my life, I mean the filters in media)

[shaunashipman]

by "imperfections" I mean parts where one gif may come through a little where it technically shouldn't, or a small part of one gif may be obscured by particularly bright spot of the other, things like that

tricks or treats 😼🎃🎃👻👻👻👻👻🗣️🗣️

Happy belated Halloween! Here's some gifs that I already posted of Coral, but without Festus being in the way!

Below the Cut, I've included a little peek into what these look like without editing for fun!

Honestly, the movie coloring really is quite nice for these gifs, but for the set these were going in. I needed them to be lighter... Also if they're brighter they strain my eyes less!

Most popular / personal favs gifsets

I did this last year and it was fun, so I've trawled through the stuff I've made this year, too. Last year I made 222 gifsets. This year 153. And honestly, most of the sets like the Seduction 101 ones were already made months prior I just forgot to post them, lmao, so they did a lot of the heavy lifting with my numbers.

Archive page link with all my gifsets~

20 in January Most popular: SandRay Happy New Year. Possibly the laziest gifset in the world...but they're so pretty. Personal fav: I'm still really fond of my MLC zodiac sets, Alan's in particular because the colours please me the most. But also this one because Khaotung fighting for his life against lettuce in the first gif is spiritually important to me.

18 in February Most popular: Seduction 101 Step 87. Personal fav: Ray Dial Drunk. Nobody saw it. Or everyone hated it. And also honourable mention to panda Khaotung because this was when I embraced my dark side and made a bunch of Chonlatee sets.

11 in March Most popular: Typecast Khaotung Thanawat. These were a lot of fun. The First one made me lose my mind. Personal fav: Honestly, the Typecast sets are my favourite, so for balance: Typecast First Kanaphan. I do wonder where Bison and Kant are going to fit. (Says as though I don't already have a description for them.)

7 in April Most popular: Seduction 101 Step 96. It's a good step. I call myself an idiot in the alt texts. Personal fav: Seduction 101 Step 94, mainly because First's hair is a paid actor and the shot of them laying side by side in the last gif lives in my head.

3 in May Most popular: SandRay Tennessee Whiskey. Personal fav: As above, really. I loved that set. The song makes me happy.

7 in June Most popular: Kieta Hatsukoi / My Love Mix-Up! scene for a scene set 2. Personal fav: Chonlatee "Music!" - cw: flashing. Lil dancy boy. It just makes me smile.

4 in July Most popular: Drake and Title in Wandee Goodday. Still haven't watched it, probably never will atp Personal fav: Latte from Knock Knock, Boys! It still makes me giggle.

13 in August Most popular: Best FirstKhaotung kisses set. I am forever grateful to the gorgeous anon that prompted it. The whiteboard on my desk still has all the timestamps for all of the kisses. I never want to erase it. Personal fav: The kisses set is absolutely my favourite, but the rain scene from The Trainee still gut-punches me. Also Khaotung fucking Thanawat.

15 in September Most popular: The arsey watermark gifset I made that somehow united fandoms. Wild time to be me. I'm tremendously fond of it. Personal fav: Other than the watermark one? How about the Furious Sand, which is the set I was making when I got sidetracked by the watermark one, lmao.

11 in October Most popular: OFTS Anniversary - Episode 9 Ray. Personal fav: SandRay Smoke Kiss.

16 in November Most popular: you know they nasty because the socks stay on. This made me laugh. Personal fav: Literally any of the big Kant sets. Man's captivated me. I'm pleased with the colours in this one and also the eyebrow raise / eye twitch is funny.

28 in December Most popular: KantBison slow dancing. The hands, the lean, the drugs, the little kiss... Personal fav: goo yak mee faaen! It kills me every time. But also this one. And this one. Because of science. Nod nod nod.

I don't know if anyone would want to be tagged in this. It was a tag thing last year but I'm just doing it to bring it back and it's literally NYE which I only realised like 2 hours ago, so.

That said, last year it was fun to look at everyone's favs sooo if you wannaaaaaaaa~ @chinzhilla @riggerbison @itsallaboutbl @oyeixcher @sollucets

scott... scott pull your knees together, man. you're manspreading.

[sophsun1]

wild to me how crisp my spn gifs look considering the files are like either 1gb or under and usually a file needs to be at least 4gb and more to achieve that 🤷🏻‍♀️

gif makers are a blessing to this world. do you know how hard we work? yw.

[aenslem]

the problem with using 2160p files for gifs and tons of filters and layers to make the gif look good

spent more on screencapping and uploading caps to ps for one gif alone and it's been 10 minutes you bitch, and nobody will appreciate the efforts lmao

[shaunashipman]

gifmaking is like

use this adjustment to put some red in, now use this adjustment to take a little red out, now use this adjustment to add a little more red, now use this adjustment
