I had to post this in pic format bc tumblr wouldn't allow me to edit my draft, so it deleted the original ask..

anyways!

tags: somnophilia, jax in heat, rough sex, dirty talk.

Jax fucked his palm more times than he count... but it wasn't making this process any better. Flushed and panting, he stared down at himself in shame.. He was too embarrassed to come to you with this problem. It was the first heat he'd been in heat since you two had started hooking up.

He.. had 'forgotten' to mention it to you.

But in this almost drunken haze, he could no longer help it. He needed you. He was convinced only your pussy was the antidote to cease his suffering..

Jax crept out of his room casually. The halls were dim, and he headed over to your room. His cock still straining in his pants the entire time.

He made it to your room and pressed his ear up against the door, "Y/N..? you awake in there, doll?" He spoke against the door, but it creaked open from weight of his body.

"Heh, not even locked... you're just askin' for it aren't ya?" He grinned widely to himself and made to sure to lock the door behind him. "You should be more careful of your surroundings y/n." He spoke, albeit quietly. You were still sleeping after all. "Some perverted nutcase could creep into your room at any time." He grumbled while climbing onto your bed, hovering over your sleeping form.

You were so pretty, lying on your back ...bits and pieces of your skin on display due to your pajamas being rustled around in your sleep.

His hand trailed up your waist, and you shivered, "Sorry, y/n.. ya know, I'm usually one for foreplay but.." His body was going crazy, his hands trembling just from touching and being so close to you. He pulled off his overalls, smacking his tip against your clothed cunt.

"Ya want me in here, baby? Yeah, you do.." He pushed your pj's aside and rubbed his throbbing tip against your cunt. You whimpered, and your eyebrows furrowed, but you didn't wake.

"Mn.. stay still for me." He spoke and held your leg so they couldn't snap shut upon entry, his hips thrusted forward, and he buried himself into you all in one go. He couldn't wait. He didn't care if you woke up. The sudden warmth and tightness was overwhelming that he juat opted to start pistoning his cock in and out of you.

Your eyes shot open, your cunt burning with pleasure and slight pain from the sudden intrusion.

"Mnh- J.. Jax..!!" You whined but he put his full weight onto you now, holding your leg beneath your knee and pushing it towards your head to give him better access.

"Ngh... s.. so good for me.." He wasn't aware you were awake until he felt your hand pressing on his chest. He was so far gone that it didn't matter right now. He used his free hand to grip your qrist and slam it dowm into the bed. "J.. Just stay still and let me take care of you baby, need to fuck you til you're pregnant.."

Your cunt tightened up at his sudden declaration, what has gotten into him!? Unfortunately you couldn't protest, it felt too good.. your sleepy mind was overwhelmed by the sudden pleasure coursing through your body.

"Mn.. I felt that.. you want it to right..? Want me too breed you dollface?" He chuckled and adjusted himself a little digging deeper inside of you. Hit that spongy spot in your cunt that made your back arch and eyes rolll to the back of your head.

"C.. Cumming... Jax.. hhaa..." You whined out and he held you close, his climax was fast approaching too.

"Nghh.. take it, take it.. don't waste a drop." He said as he rutted into you, cum spilling from his dick and deep inside of you.

"Not bad for bein' half asleep.. So.. feelin' up for round two, babe?"

Hello!! I don’t usually post my cosplays here but I’ve been thinking abt making just like one big post so, here we go! (Almost) All my Empires/Hermitcraft etc. cosplays, sorted by cc!! (Hopefully I can format this right, I’m not very familiar with posting here) (also they’re mostly unedited bc only some of them are edited the way I’d want and really I don’t care enough to do it all rn)

Gem!!

Neither my lizzie or doc have tumblr, but they are my lovely lovely friends Kat (They/she, ToastieKat on Twitch) and Duck (he/him, ducks.and.roses on ig)

Pearl!!

Grian is @caalaxy , Mumbo is @gr3ml1n-gutz (even though he doesn’t use tumblr anymore), and Scar and Impulse don’t have any public social medias as far as I know

Jimmy!!!!

Lizzie in both is the same as before, joel is @gr3ml1n-gutz again, and scott and gem are both my sister

Scar!!

Same Grian as before! (I had a scar on my cheek too but you can’t see it in like any of the pictures bc of the angle and/or wig :( )

And then here are some other little one-offs that were just taken in my room, all of which I apparently deleted the pictures for when I kept running out of space and had to be screenshotted

Ariana Griande

guys I can’t find this jacket it’s such a nice jacket where is it

Meghan (Kingdomcraft!!)

she’s actually 1/3 kingdomcraft people I’ve done but the only one making it onto this post bc my yammy and shubble weren’t as good :(

Xornoth

This was just a closet cosplay using my sisters scott stuff but y’know not the worst I’ve done they still make it into the post

Also shoutout to the time when Duck and I did renchanting duo and he looked amazing but I could not get a good wig for martyn in time and ended up looking eh. we did get a picture w a kakashi though

Most photography (if not just my phone camera) is from @gr3ml1n-gutz !!! even though he doesn't use tumblr anymore there might still be links there to his stuff. the standing centaur gem picture was taken by ooc photography on facebook

Hi, Kat! Fellow UK simmer here - been following you for a while here on tumblr (love your MCC posts), and am currently binging all your YouTube content after recently stumbling across your channel! I have a quick question related to YouTube, if you don’t mind answering, as I’m interested in potentially making some videos of my own. May I ask what software and setup you use to record your videos? As your audio is very good, I presume you use a mic? Your screen recordings are very smooth so I’d be interested in what programme you’re using, although I’m sure your computer has a lot to do with that. I hope my question makes sense! Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello! I don't mind answering at all, I am answering it publically in case anyone else is interested but do feel free to message me if you want to chat in more detail, I'd be happy to talk shop :) I wish I had people to talk to when I started out, I was too intimidated to approach anyone lol!

(and aaaa, I'm flattered to hear you are binging my channel, thank you!! its funny (but nice!) hearing a compliment on my audio bc I am self-concious about it and think it is not the best, hahaha)

I use OBS Studio for recording, which I think is pretty standard. But I do my video editing in Vegas Pro which idk if its common (I think people usually use adobe these days?) but I used a pirated version of Vegas to make AMVs back when I was a teenager so that was what I went with XD

I do have a decent PC but also play with low cc when I am recording for Youtube, as the game runs a little smoother and doesn't lag too much, which I think looks nicer on video! I also delete all my raw footage after I have finished editing/rendering as the files can get pretty big

edit: forgot to include this (idk if useful) but my OBS settings are set to recrod at 60FPS at a resolution of 1920x1018

I do use a mic! My first few videos were just recorded on a cheap bluetooth headset I used for work but the sound quality was pretty bad, haha. TBH I don't know much about mics, my partner is a musician and has a bunch of mics & equipment so I just borrowed his stuff lol! The mic is an Audio Technica AT2020 condenser microphone and its plugged into a M-Audio M-Track Solo USB audio interface (as the mic wouldnt plug into the PC otherwise, the interface also lets you adjust the gain which is nice) but idk if you really need something that fancy. I usually see people reccommend the Yeti mic for YouTube, which doesn't need an audio interface, idk if it is actually good or not but it seems like a popular choice?

Although if you are just starting out, I would not invest in any expensive mics or anything right off the bat - since you want to see if you actually enjoy the process of making videos first before spending any money on it! (For me at least I spend a LOT more time editing footage than recording it, it's very time consuming, although I think some creators do a lot less editing so its a style preference maybe). IMO Just start out with whatever you have and you can always upgrade later.

Also, the main thing I learned quickly which I think helped me about as much as using a better mic was having good "mic discipline". That's like, making sure your head/mouth is always the right sort of distance away from the microphone, making sure its positioned properly, trying to keep the volume you speak consistant, etc. I am still not always the best at this tbh! but am getting better :D

Hope this was useful!! Like I said, please feel free to msg me if you want to chat more about YT stuff :)

#FAQ #oh & the mic has a sock over it. thats the pop filter

ive got many!!! 1, 4, 5, 8, 17, 21, 27, 28, 37?!

Thank uuu <333333

Do you daydream a lot before you write, or go for it as soon as the ideas strike?

Oh boy, yeah I daydream a lot haha - usually I get an idea and write down the bare info for it (like the ship and maybe one or two scene ideas) and then I just let it marinate for a bit, usually listening to music or reading! Then ideas usually pop in from there XD I'm a daydreamer all the way

4. How do you choose which fics to write?

Usually it's just whichever one I feel needs attention at the moment? Or whatever my brain latches onto haha

Like yesterday I meant to edit the GHE chapter so it could be posted, but instead I wrote the Earthcury one-shot turned multi-chap (which I wanna finish b4 I post it)

It's very wishy-washy is what I'm saying LOL

5. How many wips do you have? What fandoms/pairings are they for?

All of WIPs are for SolarBalls haha I can only write for one fandom at a time XD

Okay, so obviously I have the GHE fic, the Jupixturnus fic, the Vercury fic, and now the Earthcury fic (those are all multi-chaps); then I have my oneshots, of which I plan to write Vars, Vearth, another UraEarth, a fluffy Jupiturnus one, a Poly Rocky planets one, and I still have a Sol & Nemesis one with snippets, as well as the post-paranoia Luna fic that still needs its chapter two LOL (and then I have a titanearth smut + jupixturnus smut that i'm thinking abt but shhhhhh)

That doesn't even count the random ideas I've just jotted down in my notes app LOL

8. Post an out-of-context spoiler from a wip.

Oh gee, lemme find one I feel like posting!! I don't have any spoilers to be honest, bc i haven't written since i posted the ghe one or i would've used that 😭 so just have a snippet from my latest wip

I actually posted this the other day but deleted it like immediately LOL but here! from my earthcury college AU

‘Okay,’ Earth thought, narrowing his eyes. ‘First midterm is in 7 days. One week. You’ve got this,’ and he pumped his fist, ignoring the weird looks a couple of people threw at him. ‘Just need to study. Actually study for once.’ Then he looked down at the multitude of papers spread out in front of him, his laptop propped open to a chemistry video from a Youtuber he’d found on line, and groaned, letting his face fall onto the table. Across from him, Mars let out a laugh, flipping another page in his book. “Earth, I don’t know what your definition of studying is, but putting your head on the table and giving up is not studying as far I’m aware.” Earth looked up at him through his lashes, sending him as much of an annoyed look as he could muster before groaning again. “Organic Chemistry is going to kill me! Why did I decide to become a biology major?” “I don’t know. Why did I decide to become an Astronomy major?” “Because you’re weirdly obsessed with aliens?” “Wha-” Mars spluttered, putting his book down and looking at Earth. “No!” “Because you weirdly like math?” “No, Earth, because I enjoy astronomy! I like learning about it!” Mars rolled his eyes, taking a sip from his water bottle after a second. “And I know you’re the same way about biology because we’ve been roommates since freshman year!” “Ughh,” Earth whined in response. “Just let me melt into a puddle and evaporate away so I don’t have to take these midterms.” “You could just study for them, you know.” “That was my plan! But that involves studying…” “Oh, wow,” Mars said, throwing him a stare that just dripped with disdain. “Studying involves studying, I really didn’t know that, Earth.” “Fine!” Earth stood up, shoving his stuff haphazardly into his backpack. “I’ll go to the library! And this time, I’m going to actually study!”

17. Do you have a writing routine?

Nope! I literally just sit down and start writing oop

21. Do you prefer writing chaptered fics or one-shots?

I prefer writing one-shots just bc it feels simpler, like a one-and-done LOL but multi-chaps can be fun too!!

27. What area of writing do you feel strongest in?

Being able to write a lot 😓 and body language, I feel quite confident in body language LOL

Also my grammar and language use, despite my copious use of em-dashes, semicolons, and ellipses I otherwise really just innately understand most grammar bc of how much I read when I was younger ‼️

28. What area of writing do you want to improve in?

DIALOGUE 😭😭😭

37. What fic has been the hardest for you to write?

The GHE fic hands down, it just feels so complicated 😭😭 I'm slowly chugging a lot, we're nearing the last few chapters :D

#solarballs #somewhat related bc i talked about my wips LOL #axtumn's asks

Oh dear l, I love your fic! It's one of my favourites. I am tapping my tippy toes at the thought if you introducing sun! How is next chapter going (No pressure, just curious c: )

Also how do you plan your fic? Do you have crucial moments for every chapter written down, and just go with a flow with small things? Or you just go with the flow?

Kisses 💋

agajjddhkfksjdksl thank you sm!!!! next chapter is almost done, and i think ppl will like it! but i'm also suspicious bc it seems ready to post with minimal editing, which makes me think i've missed something. so i'm combing it for any issues before i commit to uploading the next chapter😅

generally i start all my fics with a scene i really want to write, and then i build a story around it! i usually have an idea of the plot as a whole including the beginning and ending before i start writing. i make brief notes of scenes or plot ideas during this time, and decide on the crucial moments.

if i'm writing and posting the fic as i go, i'll keep a separate document of story ideas and gradually work them into main document. this includes small fluff details like Y/N getting their hair ties stolen by Moon - it's not essential to the story but it's fun :3 this is what i'm doing for my mer fic!

i used to write fics all in one go before posting! i'd write a notes version of the entire plot first, each plot point no longer than a single line. then when i'd finish, i'd start again from the top writing the notes into a story, deleting the notes as i go down. now i actually prefer writing and posting together, bc i get to see everyone's reactions as the fic unfolds in real time!

thanks for the ask😊🍓

sending this on anon bc i don’t need the drama rn but the person who called buck a bad friend on your post earlier once called me a wiki-vandal bc i posted the screenshots of buck’s wiki page calling t*mmy a plot device (this can probably very easily traced back to my blog but whatever 🤷)…. i don’t usually like to call out other blogs because it often causes more issues than actually solving them but they are one blog that notoriously worship t*mmy over everything else on the show and i honestly don’t mind saying that at this point. i thought they had blocked me because the reply disappeared before i could laugh and delete it myself but apparently they deleted it on their own.

they’re also notorious for calling buddie shippers biphobic for not shipping buckt*mmy too so they just have a complete disregard for media literacy and critical thinking.

I'm sorry you've had to deal with them sending you hate. A friend of mine in fandom got sent hate too just for reblogging that wiki post. The ridiculous thing with that wiki article joke is if one of them did it and edited it to say T*mmy was Buck's husband or whatever and we got upset over it they would have told us it was just a joke and to get over it. Yet they were getting pissed at people just for sharing screenshots.

I'm so happy that Buck has come out (especially since I'm also bi and we desperately need more bi characters) but I swear fandom has been more toxic and more negative since it splintered off into that group of T*mmy worshipers. I've seen the posts calling anyone who doesn't support B/T biphobic I can't help but laugh though because they tell us we make everything about Buddie and they've made every thing about T*mmy. They've even made Buck's coming out all about T*mmy way more than any of us who've said we want to see Buck with Eddie ever did.

100% agree on them having no media literacy and a lack of critical thinking. I'm convinced whatever show they're watching is entirely different than the actual show. Some of the takes they have after an episode and the way they talk about B/T you'd think it was Buck and T*mmy who had the six years of history between them instead of Buddie.

Hi what is your writing process like for your one shots?

In the past it was mostly riding on spur of the moment momentum lol, tho I've been taking more time to plan more recently.

First I figure out why I'm writing the fic and what I think is interesting about it. That can take a while! I like to have a general sense of the entire fic or where it's going (not as bad to plan bc these are short). Once I have a theme or emotion or idea I want to capture, I think about a scenario or scenes that I think would convey that well. I also consider whether I know of a similar fic in the same fandom/ship and try not to adjust my fic to be less similar since it helps me to not compare and to feel motivated that I'm writing something more different (just a me thing, def do not be afraid to write similar scenarios as in other fics). I might reread other fics with similar vibes to help me pick the mood.

Sometimes (often?) I briefly outline those general ideas and/or specific lines, especially if I'm writing multiple scenes, or tackling a topic that's harder for me to write where I might be brainstorming and writing down multiple preliminary ideas. That keeps me organized and prevents me from forgetting things. I might also reference the general character notes doc I have to figure out how the characters will behave. And if I know I need/want to do any research because it goes beyond my own experience/knowledge, I also start that before writing. I usually don't go back to canon (the exception is like, Pool Cues because I wanted it to be very close to canon).

Then I write! Usually in bursts, from beginning to end. I'll be thinking about what makes sense next and what I would like to read in a oneshot (mostly relevant for the unplanned parts). With really detailed stuff, like body positioning/blocking, I'll just wing it based on what feels right. And I do try to keep a mental image of where the important people and things are so that there's continuity. I use OneLook for finding better/different words when wording feels off, and otherwise just try to focus on maintaining the focus and tone I want to capture the right emotions. I've written pretty intuitively from reading a lot, but I've definitely picked up some educational writing tips along the way too.

If I'm procrastinating/stuck, I might plan out the AO3 tags, but I always wait to do the summary and title until right before posting (and then get annoyed that I still need to write those too before posting lol). And then sometimes for the fics I'm more stuck on, they sit as outlines... or I make new docs to start writing fresh... Usually this happens when I'm not super set on the idea or where I want to take the fic, so being confident from the beginning definitely makes things easier. Also, for any long/interesting sections that get deleted, I try not to completely discard them, but instead move the cut lines into a designated doc so that I can repurpose them for something else, or as outtakes for myself.

Once it's done, I might let it sit overnight and then go back to do some light editing, usually just line edits for better phrasing and clarity etc. (Sometimes I post and then reread and frantically edit before it's been up for a while 😅) And that's it!

hi! do you happen to have any tips/advice for creating pixel art? i'm a huge fan of your work and have always wanted to do pixel art myself but i've found it pretty difficult to understand x_x

Hihi!!! Giving advice is hard because I kind of live by the "fuck it, we ball" way of life but I'll try my best!!!

Not necessary in all cases but I think page sizing is important!! I used to draw on like 3000x3000 canvases now I think I only reach that with refs... I think in general it's easier on smaller canvases, and if you need to size up for posting sake, Photoshop can do it [or I think there's sites that can as well?]. If you're wanting to do certain things [icons/icos, rpgm assets, whatever], they do tend to fit into certain constraints so thats important!! Similarly, there's nothing wrong with drawing something on a 1000x1000 canvas and then scaling down the image to 100x100 and lining over it!!

I tend to sketch with non-pixel brushes first unless I'm lazy, just because I feel it makes it easier!!

A small thing that I'm trying to take heed of too is going back over artwork and deleting some pixels to make the lines less "clumpy" (ofc, it depends on style too! I like thin lines usually though, especially on things that are 48x48 to maximize space!!)

I draw (mainly) in Sai and MediBang (for mobile). Things like MediBang and CSP also have downloadable brushes, which for things like screentoning I find important!! [Usually, I'll draw in MediBang or Sai, edit further in CSP]. For Sai, I just use the standard Binary brush and an edited version as an eraser:

For MediBang, I just go into settings and check "Turn off anti-aliasing" and use the normal pen brush and eraser; Only word of advice though it it does create some not fully solid pixels, but you can either go over them or duplicate the image a whole bunch and then combine the layers.

As for further stuff I think it's also just important to look at things you like!! What started me into pixel art was playing a lot of rpgmaker games [Ib, Yume Nikki, Mad Father, The Witch's House, ectect] Now I also like things like the art of older systems and games, like TokiMeki Memorial 1994 has some beautiful artwork:

And the pixel sprites in all the BlazBlue games has been really inspirational in the last couple of years for me as well!!!

I hope this helps in some capacity 'w'999!!! For me, I think experimenting and playing around with stuff is the most important and having fun!!! [Which is why I'm so inconsistent bc it's just fun to try new things n see what sticks, what you like, can improve on, ectect!!!]

#i know some ppl say theres a right n wrong way to do pixel art but to me u get the same result #brie rambles #non art #anonymous #brie replies

Hello Laurie! How are you? How are your holidays going?

I'm the same person who messaged you 2/3 months ago about the fic that I was writing and being scared to post it because it's not my native language. I was wondering how your writing goes, like how do you edit? What do you struggle with the most? I know you said it's not your native language either, and I just wanted to know what slows you down the most? Because for me personally it's grammar, structure of the sentences and its punctionation. I always wonder if my commas are in the right place and if I used right marks, obviously the placement of it differs in every language. And do you have any tips for me? ANYWAYS i'm so sorry this is such a long question bahahhaha, also I've read your new Bartylily fic and I love it. I'm on my knees for them, can't wait to see what you got in store for them. Hihi have a good day! <3

hi darling!! i'm okay, doing some writing!! and my holiday is going great <3 i've been at the beach all week, swimming and reading and eating delicious food. i missed my parents and my sisters like crazy, so it's been very fun to get to spend so much time with them <333

oh, yes!! i remember you!! i hope that fic is going well, and that you'll decide to post it someday. i feel like i already told u this, but i'm sure it's lovely, and if deep down u wanna share it, u should be able to do so, fear be damned (im aware it's not that easy but . u get what i mean)

and my editing process is . very boring and very long . i usually just write the whole chapter out, exactly how i have it planned in my mind, without stopping to check for mistakes, or letting myself get distracted by . a paragraph or a line i don't like, all that can be fixed during the actual editing. once it's done, i try to give it a day?? to let it breathe a lil. and then i reread it all!! i go scene by scene, and sometimes it means just fixing the grammar of some sentences and deleting a random line here and there, and other times it means deleting a whole conversation, or rewriting an entire scene bc it's not working how it's supposed to. editing can take me from a couple of hours to actual days, so it's not a process i really enjoy </3 writing can be a pain, but it's when i get to be messier and have fun and not worry about the end result. editing means polishing and rereading until you grow sick of the story. it's necessary but it's not my fav part of the process, that's for sure

i don't think i'm that bothered by grammar, but it's mostly bc this is just fanfiction and i kinda just . have fun with the language?? sometimes i'm aware i'm not structuring a sentence the Proper way but it looks more beautiful my way, and it sounds nicer, so why would i change it?? not a single one of my uni profs is gonna be reading it anyway. but as someone who isn't an english native speaker either, i totally get u, bc i used to be very insecure about this, and i still am a bit sometimes. i had this fear that ppl were gonna be able to tell english isnt my first language at a first glance. but so what if they do?? theres nothing wrong with that, and bc im bilingual, i speak and write in english in a manner native speakers cant replicate, bc i see and understand their language differently. and i think thats lovely!!!

the thing i struggle the most with is descriptions?? i feel like im not detailed or accurate enough, and like i lack a lot of vocabulary. i do my best to fix it during editing but it never quite works i fear.. i also write ridiculously long sentences, bc i use way too many commas when i should be using periods. and i think that my dialogues are pretty good, but at the same time im always . concerned about characters sounding real enough yk?? since, again, english isn't my first language

and i don't know about tips darling. i keep saying this, but i feel like i'm not the best person to ask about this At All, bc i'm not that knowledgeable, or talented, or skillful. i can tell you to remember that at the end of the day this is fanfiction, and we're supposed to be having fun and being self-indulgent. try not to worry so much about grammar and proper sentence structure or putting commas in the right place. bend the language until it sounds pretty enough for you and a sentence rolls off the tongue the right way. who cares if it's not Correct or Proper. it's not meant to!!! also, don't edit right away, let the story or the chapter breathe for a bit, otherwise you're gonna hate the whole thing and believe it's a Mess. it's usually not!! you just need a break and to put some healthy distance so u can edit more honestly, less unbiased

don't apologise!! my answer was even longer SIGH i hope some of this was at least a little helpful <3 and thank u so much!! more ppl than i thought are reading and enjoying the bartylily fic, and it fills me with joy <3 next ch is coming VERY soon and i can't wait

wishing u the best and sending u all my love MWAH <333

9, 24 and 27 for the creator asks!

9: Would you say your style has changed a lot since you first started creating? oh for SURE. regardless of what i consider my start bc i used to gif from like 2015-2017 and then i didn't start up again until april of 2023. this time around, i have learned SO much, and i'm sure part of that is just bc of how much gif styles have changed in the last 6-8 years, but also bc i joined a couple gifmaking networks and have gotten so much help through them, found so many resources, and learned tons! to compare, here's one of the sets i was proudest of from Back In The Day. now, it's definitely not horrible, but the coloring and the slow framerate make me borderline homicidal. this one is marginally better, and i remember thinking i was really Doing Something with that typography 😂 here are some of the sets i made early on in my Return to Gifmaking this past April/May. this was one of the first times i'd ever combined multiple gifs into one and girl. what the fuck happened. why are the framerates Like That? what is this typography? i had no business making early l&o gifs 540px wide bc the quality is bad enough at 268px 💀and i think this one is a good example of i got the spirit! the execution just wasn't quite there. i like the main gif with the overlay of the sky, but i'd do the typography very differently and idk if i'd do it in b&w? i could try and remake it tbh, it's been 9 months since i made and posted it.

24: What’s your step by step? How do you organise your editing process? buckle up 😂

make clips of the scene(s) i want to use if i don't already have them

import video frames to layers

action 1: grouping and timing (groups all layers and sets frame rate to 0.05)

delete any extra frames

crop to whatever dimensions i'm using

action 2: sharpening (two smart sharpen layers) + vivid sharpening (i used this tutorial and i usually keep that folder at 30% but sometimes drop it down to 10-15%)

coloring! it depends on what i'm giffing, but i color everything from scratch at least the first time. i save a LOT of my psds, like there's one psd that i use for almost all my tfothou gifs, a couple for hill house depending on the tint of the scene i'm giffing, one for law & order that sometimes needs to be adjusted just a little, one for the good wife, one or two for satc, etc. but they're all psds that i created myself.

typography (if applicable) which almost always involves scrolling through the entire list of fonts just to use one of my go-tos

action 3: this save action from anyataylorjoy

export > save for web!

upload to hellsite (derogatory) and gifsets always immediately go to my drafts, even if i want to post them right away, just so i can make sure i'm happy with everything and try to catch any last-minute mistakes

as for general organization, i'm organized on my computer to a near-ridiculous standard, but it works for me lmao. my psds, templates, and project psds (where i save an entire finished gif if it's for a larger, complex set and then never get rid of them lmao), and all overlays, textures, icons, graphics, transitions, etc. are meticulously organized. my finished gifs are also organized into their own folders.

27: What’s your favourite font to use? in general, monsterrat. i use it for everything in google docs, and it's my fave sans serif to go with serif or script fonts. when i'm using it for giffing, i usually use semibold.

20, 22, 29 fic writer asks my senford!

anything for you zoethur <3<3

Fic Writer Asks <33

20. What’s a favorite title for a fic you’ve written?

you can take the heart from your chest to use as a compass when you are lost (or missed connections fic) is one of my favorites!

the song that i took the lyric from fits the fic so so soooo well too. just love the song. love this fic too. y'all should give it a read if ya haven't yet <3

22. Do you know how your fic will end before you start writing?

usually! or at least, i know which direction i want it to go. like, i always know my fics will have a happy ending. but for the specifics i like for those things to kinda develop naturally as im plotting/writing.

29. Share a bit from a fic you’ll never post OR from a scene that was cut from an already posted fic. (If you don’t have either, just share a random fic idea you have that you don’t plan on getting to.)

(the perfect question for someone who has a folder titled "scrapped bits" bc i was taught by one of my favorite college professors to never delete anything you've written bc it might be useful someday)

I don't think I'll ever post the fic i have decided to call Gonorrhea Fic but I have one scene that I edited just now for you all to enjoy <3

Steve stomps away from the counter, little white paper bag in hand.

The pharmacist’s ‘Have a nice day!’ ringing in his ears like the most annoying alarm set to disturb him in the middle of a heavy sleep.

He pushes the clinic doors open with too much force, already clicking on Robin’s contact. It only rings once.

“Its fucking gonorrhea.” he rushes out as soon as she answered.

He props his phone up with his shoulder so he can fish around the bag for the pill bottle so he can discard his shame that is in the form of the telling pharmacy paper bag in his hand.

“Shucks, I was rooting for an unplanned pregnancy.” Steve whines as she snorts on the other end and if Steve wasn’t on the verge of tears, he’d have something snarky to say back.

“No shit it’s gonorrhea! That’s what happens when you go around throwing your hole at anybody who even shows a vague interest in you.” Slander, Steve thinks. This is just slander.

“I only showed my hole to one guy! One hook-up! The celebratory ‘I’m single so let’s see some new peen’ hook-up.” About two weeks ago, Steve finally ended the weird situationship with the guy he’d been hooking up with on the regular. Regular being used loosely in this case, considering he kept ghosting, only coming out to haunt Steve’s call log any time between 11pm and 3am. But Steve was hung up and didn’t want to keep being a booty call, not for someone he started to have actual feelings for.

“And then I go and pick the one who has the fucking clap!” he whisper-screams into the receiver. Robin’s hollering like a fucking hyena on the other end. He pulls the pamphlet on safe sex out of the bag, along with the orange pill bottle as he walks directly into someone, sending both of the objects flying out of his hands and onto the ground.

All of his athletic ability proving to be pointless as the stranger beats him to the pill bottle, rolling away.

Robin's laugh is the backdrop to the most embarrassing moment of his life, as the stranger (who is stupidly hot) picks up both the bottle and the pamphlet, his face screwing up into a knowing smirk.

Of course he has the most gorgeous set of brown eyes, shaggy hair not being able to cover up the notch in his brow, which is suggestively quirked up at Steve as he checks him out. Right there, no shame, in front of the damn clinic. Holding his STI meds.

"I think you're gonna need these."

Steve wishes whatever is in control of the universe would strike down and kill him, here and now.

"Thanks." He snatches his things, eyes on the ground in an attempt to hide how red he knows his face is.

Steve shoves the bottle into the pocket of his jeans, crumpling the pamphlet up in his hand as he speed-walks the hell away from the guy.

Hi!! I found myself in your tutorial tag (lovely gifs btw 💕!) and saw you use a variation of the video timeline/trimming method for your gifs and wondered if you posted a tutorial for that? Would love to see your method!! If that’s okay 😭💕

hey anon! i didn't post anything about that but it's super easy, let me show you.

first you have to have your video clip obviously, photoshop can open clips in these formats: .mp4, .mov, .avi, .ts (but only if they are encoded in h264).

if your video is .mkv (like most things film are if they are good quality) then you'll have to convert your clip to the formats i mentioned. I use avidemux when i have to do that, .mp4 is the easiest one.

okay with that out of the way, we're going to open things in photoshop. i'll be showing you with a clip in .mov i used to make gifs for my kpop blog:

we go file -> open and we search for our video file and then click on open it, we wait until photoshop loads it. Once it does you'll have your photoshop looking like this with your video loaded

in this part i usually move the red line to where i want my gif to start hit right click and click on set start of work area and to where i want it to end and do right click again and click on set end of work area or just simply dragging the thingys at the top of the timeline

i usually do this with long scenes so i don't have to trim a clip into several ones before opening photoshop, what i do is duplicate the canvas going image -> duplicate and do the same process but on a different timestamp

(note: this also works if you open screencaps going file -> open and clicking on one sceencap and then checking on the image sequence box, it'll open as if your sceencaps are a 'video')

duplicating the canvas will make your tabs look like this, it'll say copy and that's bc we're just editing the same thing in two different tabs

see, using the same video gif one is trimmed like this on the timeline

and gif two (from the same video) is trimmed like this on the timeline

okay, now scenes are picked and trimmed to where we want them. now we crop it to whatever we want it to be sized. if photoshop gives you a warning that it'll have to be converted to smart object to proceed you click yes on that!!

okay we have our smart object, but if you notice it's inside a folder called 'video group' drag it out of there and then you can just delete the folder so it doesn't bother

here i like to duplicate my smart object bc when i trim a white line shows in the borders and it bothers me, so i duplicate it going layer -> duplicate layer, and then select all layers and convert again to smart object.

now here is basically the same process with any gif tutorial, if you gif only using timeline you can sharpen and start coloring and then save, using a video here when working on timeline works very well bc more often than not it'll have the original timeframe already set.

if you work with frames, you'll have to do the whole process of flattening everything to frames after you sharpen and then do the coloring (or you can sharpen and color and convert everything to smart object and then flatten everything to frames)

i use an action for this bc i can't be assed to do everything manually, so i recommend having a sharpen process action ready to go

i hope this helped?

I'm a smaller blog so this might not go far, but I figured I could add in some more info that's more in depth. (mainly bc i have adhd and cannot be succinct no matter how hard i try)

when changing your icon, please don't make it a real person unless it is some fun image of a very recognizable celebrity. most people see the default icon or an icon of an irl person and block and report on sight

you may see this elsewhere, but please turn off/snooze tumblr live and don't use it. you can do that in settings>dashboard>preferences>snooze tumblr live. it only lasts for 7 days and you have to go back in every week and turn it off and on again.

While you're technically fine to use it, it steals a lot of data to the point that isn't present in certain countries due to their privacy laws

@.Staff is of course the staff's tumblr blog where they will mention big things to tumblr. From what I've seen, it's mainly for show and getting upset and mentioning them in a post won't do much.

they also have @.support as well as @.changes as other blogs. I recommend at the very least following the latter as they post every tuesday and friday with what changes and bugfixes have been made as well as what they are aware of and are trying to fix or stuff that may be upcoming.

people are most likely to reblog and put stuff in their tags as their comments on the post, but reblogging and actually adding a piece to the post is fine too. Usually that's done when you want to add content to the post that will hopefully be used going forward as tags only exist on your reblog and disappear when someone reblogs from you.

As said, Likes are similar to saving a post. Think of them as bookmarks in a way. One way I've found they work best is for people's compilation posts as likes will change along with any edits made to the post (or the specific reblog you're looking at) while reblogging saves the specific version you see and will not change even if the OP changes it or even deletes it.

I believe while there's technically no karma limits for reblogging as you can reblog anything you see, whether from being posted a minute ago or from years and years ago, there is a post/reblog limit. But I think it's like, 250 a day and I've never personally managed to reach that.

You don't *need* to make a second account or anything as you can make sideblogs. sideblogs are connected to your account but are otherwise just like every other blog. You can make one to reblog all the fun stuff you see with no regard for theme while having another that's a fandom specific blog, and another where you just post original content.

The only big difference between main and sideblogs is that if you like, reply, or send an ask, it will always show up as your main blog. You can reblog to any of your sideblogs, and you have messaging for each individual blog, but those first three are always linked to your main blog

along with your account and dashboard settings, you also have settings for each individual blog. Your main blog will have options to show off the posts you have liked and the blogs you follow

all the blogs will have options for people to send asks, submit posts, messaging, visibility, etc etc. these are unique to each blog so you can allow asks in one, but none for another. Asks and submissions also have extra options for allowing people to send things anonymously so they could hide their account or send without having an account.

Also, please enable the custom theme for your blogs. If you want to actually customize your theme, you are free to, but there is a default 'custom' theme in place when you turn it on. There's still a few things that are sort of broken with the non-custom themes so it's helpful to have the custom theme. Plus, people can look at the default or the custom theme based on their preferences and aren't just limited to the dashboard styled default.

Because I see someone asking in the post's replies, to turn off the algorithm, the options are in settings>dashboard>preferences along with the tumblr live switch. the toggle itself is labeled 'Best Stuff First' and turning it off makes your dashboard appear in reverse chronological order (most recent stuff first, getting older as you scroll down)

Just because It might not be clear to new people (i've been on here for years, so don't know what tumblr tells you when you make you account) the icons you'll see in the top right on desktop are as follows:

- House icon is the dashboard. this is where you see all the posts of people you follow. If you have 'stuff in your orbit' 'based on your likes' and 'included followed tag posts' turned on, you will intermittently see some of those woven into your dashboard. these will be labeled as such and also won't be in chronological order like the rest

-Compass icon is the explore page. this is where you can see stuff from today (reblogged from @.todayontumblr), stuff the site thinks is for you, what is trending (which lists the top few trending tags, which i can only ever see 8 of), staff picks, and then 'more' is to see top posts based on type of post (ie: text post, photo post, videos, music/sounds, etc)

-the other house looking icon with the decorative roof is the tumblr shop 'tumblrmart', which is a drop down menu to buy things for your tumblr blog (mainly badges) or real life merch like tshirts, water bottles, stickers, etc

-Envelope is your ask box. this is where you will receive the asks people send you, and also responses to your own asks as long as you didn't enable asking anonymously. these can be divided based on your blog.

-Chat Bubble icon with the smiley face is your messages. You can see your messages with other users, and clicking on your own blog name will let you swap between your blogs.

-Lightning Bolt icon is your notification feed. this will tell you when someone reblogs or likes a post from you. you will get this if they are reblogging or liking a post you reblogged, but you will also get notifications for posts you make and when they are liked/reblogged from other people's blogs. This will also tell you when someone follows you, posts a reply on on of your posts, or mentions you by putting an @ before your blog name. (note the @ can appear in a post or in replies, but shouldn't work in tags). Click on the little spike graph to see more in detail

-The Person icon is a drop down menu for your account. this is where you can get to your likes, who you're following, your settings and your blogs. your blogs have their own sections to see their posts, followers, etc. The main drop down also has the logout button (if for some reason you want to use that (/joke)) but it also has dashboard themes(change palette) and keyboard shortcuts. if you see someone take a screenshot of a post and it is colored differently from what you see, that's probably because they use a different theme.

Theme 1 is the default, 2 is dark mode, 3 is low contrast blue. Those are the most basic ones and then the others are more fancy. 4 is Cement which is white background with light gray for everything else (essentially light mode). 5 Cybernetic is black with neon green text and accents. 6 Canary is essentially Cement, but in light yellows instead of bright whites and very light grays. 7 Ghost is even brighter than cement, going for a pure white other than black text, and any colored things being red. 8 Vampire is similar to dark, but with red accents and also a serif font. 9 Pumpkin also has a serif font that gives you dark oranges and purple accents on a black background as well as orange text. 10 Snow Bright is ghost without the red accents instead making those a light gray. 11 Goth Rave is dark purple on a black background with purple and blue accents with most text being purple but some as blue. and finally 12 Pride a bright neon pink background, white backed posts with purple text, other text being a bright yellow for a pink lemonade vibe on the pink background, and 0 0 255 blue for buttons. All of 12 is super super saturated.

With all the shortcuts, the ones to use most are J and K to scroll down and up 1 post at a time. Very helpful with long posts, but these only really work on desktop. Sorry to users on the app or on mobile browser.

A tumblr users suggest switching to Firefox. You don't have to, but just be aware you might see that here and there, like for certain extensions. They can be found on other browsers, but tend to work best on Firefox for Tumblr. Mainly since most other browsers actually still track you when you're incognito and are breaking ad blocker. Either way, check out the aforementioned XKit Rewritten.

No one cares about follower count. No one can see your follower count unless you take a screenshot and post it. And Honestly, sometimes less followers is better. You could make 1 post that gets thousands of notes, but still get few followers from it while your other posts are getting at most ten notes.

And also I'm going to say it again, treat Likes like they are saves or bookmarks. People can hide their likes so the only person who knows you liked it is the people who made the post and whose specific reblog you liked. It is you taking a thing you like and putting it in a chest of things you like for only you to see. It gets the post notes, but not much else. Reblogs are what you should do. If you have a blog theme and it doesn't fit, make a side blog for all your reblogs.

While Likes get notes on a post, it only goes so far. A person can make a post and then 3 of their followers like it, and then that's it. But if one of their followers reblog, then their followers see it, and then theirs see it. so on and so forth. You are most likely to see reblogs and most content people follow you for is going to be reblogs. Reblogs are the lifeblood of Tumblr and it is how the site functions, so it won't work as well without them.

Also, while you can post just pure original content, Tumblr leans into fandoms and also sort of absurdist humor. A lot of posts will reference other posts that got reblogged so much that it's a site wide inside joke (color of the sky, spiders georg, color theory, shoelaces, jpegs like dolls, etc etc.

Also I know it's unfortunately become recent tumblr culture, but please please please do not tag a reblog as 'prev tags' unless you are adding a screenshot of the tags to the post in your reblog or quote the tags in your own tags. When you reblog a post, your reblog can keep existing even if the one you reblogged gets deleted, so if that happens, people can go to look at prev tags and find tumblr saying 'there's nothing here. the post they reblogged or the tumblr they reblogged from no longer exists, so those prev tags also no longer exist'

That's all I can think of, but others can add on as well. Some people may not like new users, but that's only because new users don't know how tumblr works and it becomes obvious if you try to treat it like other sites (mainly like twitter, so you guys have a leg up coming from not there).

obligatory welcome guide for redditors

A lot of the guides I've seen don't actually seem to understand how reddit works in comparison to tumblr so

your blog is basically your own small subreddit. some people curate this heavily to fit a theme, like a sub, most people don't

reblogs are culturally equivilant to upvotes but functionally equvilant to crossposting

there is an algorithm. it sucks and nobody uses it. turn it off in settings. everything is generally chronological

likes are functionally equivilant to saving a post

you've probably already seen this but change your icon and put something in your bio or people WILL assume you're a bot. personal info not required

generally, anything you would put as a comment on a thread should go in the tags or the replies of a post. only add comments in reblogs if you want it to become part of the base post

tags are mostly equivilant to flairs, used for organization and commentary

your dashboard is an aggregation of everyone you follow

there is an r/all equivilant(trending page) but it sucks and nobody uses it

our search also sucks. your best bet is using tumblr.com/tagged/[TAG] and not /search

there are no mods

by extension, reporting something doesn't put it in front of the mods, it sends it to staff, who may or may not do anything(usually they don't)

there is no karma, there are no karma limits. anyone can reblog anything, comment/reply to anything, or post in any tag

"reposting"(reblogging) old content doesn't matter. people can and will reblog the same post multiple times, including in a row

CAVEAT. reposting someones art(NOT reblogging, making a new post) is a dick move. i know this is commonplace on fandom subs but its not necessary here. everything you post should be [OC] unless you are reblogging. or posting shitty memes

we have our own sitelore, you'll pick it up

(though im not opposed to bringing some over from reddit)

our app also sucks. we do not have third party apps and any that claim to be are scams. sorry

for desktop, most people use the XKit Rewritten extension for QoL improvements and to revert shitty aesthetic updates, much like old.reddit

we have no idea where the porn rules are at either. add a mature content flag to anything you'd get fired for looking at at work, that's about it

finally, from the bottom of my heart, fuck u/spez

🍁 what programs do i use for my edits:

please note: the following is an extremely unprofessional set-up for one of the least serious editors/"editors". this is to help out anyone else who wants be extremely casual and only make dumb shit for their own personal use. if you want to be a semi-professional or professional editor one day, i suggest you do not copy my set-up lol

my (android) phone's screen-recorder (for videos, assuming i don't download them)

my (android) phone's screenshot feature (for images, assuming i dont download them)

my (android) phone's Gallery App (specifically its photo, gif, and video editors within said app) (i usually try this first, to see if all i need is achievable here. if not, i go elsewhere. and, if nothing else, it's great at helping me get crop-off/video-trim-away various app's watermarks. like?? lol no. i won't keep that. ill keep creators' watermarks, 100%; but not million-dollar companies lol)

the free version of the CapCut App (which i use when my phone's Gallery App just won't work, bc the editing needs to be too precise or something)

ezgif.com (is especially great for converting videos to gifs, examining and messing with frames of your project, converting the "gif files" creators' attach to their youtube Community Tabs post called "webpage files" to gifs, and a few editing needs that Capcut or my phone's Gallery App just won't work with. like ezgif can get REALLY PRECISE and gritty about exactly where you want the beginning and ending of a video/gif to be, down to the hundredth and thousandth+ Decimal Place. which is soooo useful lol just make sure you have the item you want to edit downloaded; some of the "insert the image/video's URL" options havent been updated to recognize the changed URLs of sites like youtube and whatnot)

imgflip.com (quick, easy way find and customize popular memes/meme-templates)

KnowYourMeme.com (very helpful for both finding niche memes if youre like "i really want some more Scooby Doo memes. let me look up the show on this website to go through its 'related meme entries' tabs". it's like TV Tropes for memes. it's also helpful for finding meme templates, finding out if someone did a variation of a meme already so you can reap the benefits while not having to make it yourself (eg. looking for a Doctor Who variation of the "Is that a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure reference?" meme), and more)

remove.bg (it deletes backgrounds for you. and you can download your image either as a transparent png or you can tell the website to download the image with a background, to which i typically use a solid black or white the rare time i don't want a transparent png. my favorite thing about it though is, if the auto-generator is wrong in any way, you can manually guide it on what you want erased and what you dont; and you can use their "magic brush" (AI trying to understand what you want to erase/store) or you can "turn off their magic brush" for something that follows your exact "erase/restore this pls" scribbling and does add intelligence to what you mean. i switch between turning on/off magic brush often, it's so helpful lol) (the sister-website this has for videos isn't good though, i do not recommend that one at all. at least how it is as of writing this in August 2024)

imgonline's specific "combine two images into one by putting them side-by-side" tab (it lets you put them side-by-side, what can i say. it does it by either connecting them landscape-style or connecting them vertically, depending on what you choose. the only setting i change, beyond the obvious "do i want landscape or vertical?", is i make the images the png-option. highly recommend you "Open The Image" to check it is what you want before you "Download The Image" bc sometimes i click the wrong toggle. i know i could just use Canva instead, but ive been using imgonline before Canva was around, personally, so it's a habit)

pinetools' specific "combine two images into one by overlapping the smaller one to be ontop of the larger one" tab (this is so helpful for my phone's Gallery App. bc it has a size limit on how small a "sticker from my photo albums" can me. so what i do is i go to pinetools with my ever faithful companion, WikiCommon's HD Transparent Large Image. i have the transparent image be the biggie, insert the file of my "too small image" to be anywhere on top, and wham-bam-yes-m'am, now my Gallery App will allow the the combo to be a sticker. love this for me specifically)

imagecolorpicker (helps me pick a color from an image to use as a hexcode, helps me find a photo-color scheme i can steal, etc. it's a great tool to use for anything that will accept a hex-code (but may/may not allow a tear-drop, or maybe you want a color from x-image to put into y-project and so the teardrop tool may be ineffective across tabs), such a great website)
