#but its nice to ramble on abt :3

Currently thinking about older Vampire!Rossi and newer Vampire!Reid (platonic)

Btw, thinking of Spencer turning around season 2 even though the timeline wouldn't match with Rossi joining the BAU.. but let's ignore that bc its my au so !!

Like imagine Rossi teaching Spencer all about being a vampire bc he js got turned and Rossi is like hundreds of years old so he obviously knows much more. Also he doesn't want Spencer to struggle as much as he did when he was just turned.

Rossi telling Spencer all about the myths there are about vampires and how they aren't true or how it actually is.

Ex. Not being able to go inside someones home without permission. You can just walk in, but its impolite, vampire or not..

Or garlic being deathly to vampires. It really isn't. Its either a non deadly allergy or it just makes them sick ! Depends on something that Rossi doesn't remember (I can't decide)

Rossi gets sick when he eats it, which really pisses him off, but it doesn't stop him! He will eat garlic cuz fuck that! (me with my lactose intolerance)

Oh and to keep his fangs in check, they tend to peak out in certain situations. Either when he smells blood he likes or feels threatened. Also when he he's around someone he's attracted to, but he learns to control that more.

Also telling him the best places to get blood, what to avoid in a blood place (shop?), or blood in general. Not that it matters, Spencer would rather die than drink someones random blood, no matter how many tests they had to go through in order to donate.

Which is why he doesn't usually feed much and instead rather starve for weeks until either hes forced to drink a blood pouch or someone close offers him their own !

Rossi teaching Spencer how to transform into a bat, which takes ages because Spencer just can't seem to transform. At one point they thought maybe he couldn't, until one day something just click and he transformed!

Except Spencer got too excited and transformed back.. its okay eventually he learns to transform quickly.

Then Rossi having to teach him to fly as a bat. And since Spencer loves physical activity, and is great at all that stuff, it was easy! (it took even longer to teach him how to fly well, and he still struggles)

Still, Rossi has patience with him. After all Spencer has always been like a son to him, and even more now that they're both vampires.

Sometimes Rossi tells Spencer how easy he has it being a vampire because "back in his day, they were chased around with stakes and shit" (Based on this post!!)

yea idk what else this is all i thought of so far..

idk if this counts as a Spencer imagine so no tags

Friendship is the most special thing in the world because no award could be give me bigger happiness than jumping around in my room and smiling because my pookie asked me if I wanted to match pfps

im honestly kind of surprised nintendo didn't use peach's modern dress design for the ttyd remake i thought it was gonna be like how they changed luigi's design in the m&l remakes. but i also like peach's older dress a little better so im not complaining <3

[narwhalandchill]

while i dont think its necessarily like an egregiously offensive blunder by any means like theyve done much worse and it suits the narwhal fine. truly an eng translation moment to call it the all-devouring narwhal for no particular reason when once more every single translation (save for russian for some reason) is star-devouring/-swallowing narwhal/whale like 💀 why do they keep doing this

getting asks makes me so happy, thank you guys for trusting my input and for taking the time to send asks!! 🥺💖

i have a feeling i'm going to be online quite often this week, so if anyone has any questions about astrology, spiritual stuff, healing, anything, i'm always here!! happy to answer asks about certain placements (ie: gemini moon traits, mutable dominance traits, etc), compatibility (taurus x scorpio sun compatibility), astrology topics (what do the planets mean, what are the houses, etc), take requests for posts (ie: what does saturn in the signs mean), etc!!! <3

[@distinguished-turtle-enjoyer ]

i actually have not stopped thinkin bout your bb!edit like,,,, its so good and scratches my brain right

how long have you been doin edits for? do have any tips for someone, who hypothetically, wants to start doin edits too? what programs do you use? how did you do the cool animated bits?

im so sorry for all the qustions 😭😭 i just think youre very talented and inspirational and i hope you have a good day ^_^

hi firstly oh my gosh you're literally so sweet i am gently shaking you i love you so much /p. secondly, i apologize for the long answer! (it's all under the cut. this got away from me. i'm so sorry apparently i have a lot to say.) (also you're so good about the questions i would constantly be asking one of my professors questions during class to the point where she said i didn't have to go "i have a question" every time i approached her)

i've been editing since 2016! around march/april, i think? loved it so much i went into film & video production in college as a major so i could do editing for a living. (i have done more motion graphics for my classmates than i have done edits outside of class assignments, BUT!)

the program i use is after effects - i started learning it when covid first hit the united states because i had nothing better to do with my time (other than music theory but i failed that bc my professor focused more on the history aspects than the actual theory soooo) and my ipad kept giving me the "no more storage" whenever i tried to use videostar lmao. (vs has, apparently, gotten a LOT of good updates, so if you're looking to start editing and have an ios system, i'd look into it! only downside is you have to pay for some of the cool stuff).

also the program i use for masking (i think i explain this later dwdw) is superimpose. i've been using it since 2014 and it's SO nice bc i can use my fingers to erase backgrounds & stuff instead of hoping i can get it to work correctly in ae or photoshop (photoshop my DETESTED i'll use it but i'll complain the entire time).

for people who want to start editing: tutorials on how your program works and how to do specific transitions are gonna be your best friend when you're first figuring things out! i forced a friend to literally walk me through how after effects worked when i was first figuring it out, and when i had swapped to videostar back in 2017/2018(?) i had watched a Lot of tutorials. that and played around a lot and figured things out on my own - which is also always a good way to start!! it's also totally valid to look at other people's edits for inspiration - most editors don't really care, as long as you don't flat-out remake their edit (some people don't like that!). i have a style insp folder on instagram where i save edits that i like so if i need transition ideas or i'm doing a different style, i can look there for inspiration. at the end of the day, as long as you're having fun with it that's all that matters!

also, starting simple is always okay!! my edits for a year were just me slapping gifs & video segments together on a timeline in cute cut pro bc imovie didn't load them lol & it'd crash every time i breathed. ++ it never hurts to ask people for feedback/constructive(!!!) criticism/etc! (also not to sound like everyone else but practice? good. it's so good. if i showed my 14/15y/o self some of the edits i can make now they would've passed out on the spot bc i was still trying to figure out transitions back then. programs can also sometimes make a difference in edits, but usually it's not super noticeable until you start getting to the Complicated Shit.)

a lot of popular programs i've seen are ones like video star (ios only), alight motion (android only), after effects (i recommend 🏴‍☠️ing it tbh, i only use it legally bc i had to use adobe programs for school), capcut, and i think some people still use sony vegas pro & maybe cute cut pro (i've heard it may have actually gotten better since i last used it in 2018)? i have no idea. programs also depend on whatever device you're using to edit on! since i've been using my laptop, i'm able to use after effects (it's computer-only), but when i used my phone/ipad to edit i used ccp & vs.

for the animation - it's a lot of cutting up the image and masking! more complex animations, like the one i had of leo walking down that red 'hallway' have several different layers that have been masked. (i removed the background & filled in the spot where leo originally was in two different apps - superimpose (taking leo out) & photoshop (filling in the bg)) in after effects, the way i've done this was mask out the specific thing i wanted to move (like an eye) and then put that mask on what i've called a "base" (not animated), and then stick a solid behind the base to match the color of the object. (some of my layers are not named appropriately; base 2 is the left arm & the four "SIX_[...]" layers are the mask/bandana tails)

an example of this would be for any of the eye blink animations i did! this (above) is the same shot, with and without the eye - since it's masked out and i have the background solid behind it, it doesn't look too unnatural/have a black outline/mass where his eye should be.

what it looks like without the solid layer behind it ^ (the red lines are from the null layers - ignore that)

this is what my timeline looks like if it's a more simplistic animation - the only five things being animated here are leo & raph's eyes. (there's only this many layers bc it's two characters in one shot & i was also animating their pupils - typically, an eye-blink animation is about 4-6 layers for me (solid, base, mask, & null to animate with, 6 if i'm animating both eyes & 4 if just one))

in after effects, there's this really cool tool called the puppet pin that one of my friends (lovingly) yelled at me for not knowing about - which. yeah fair she wasn't wrong it's SUPER useful in animating, provided you chop up your image first. if you don't it's a mess.

(separated by layer vs i should've really put the mask tails & leo's head on separate layers and didn't bc that was the 2nd to last animation i had to do and i was losing my mind bc i wanted to be done with the edit lmao)

the way people animate depends all on their style (there's two common ways to do blinking animation - having the anchor point at the bottom of the eye, or the middle of it) and the program they use. it's been a while, but i could probably tell you how to do some basic animations on videostar still even though i've been doing them in after effects for about 2-3years now. ALSO the best way to have an animation be noticeable is to over-exaggerate it/make them Big - which, yes, can mean 'breaking bones' and having the limbs be a little wonky at the start. (if you want it to be realistic though go Just to the point where it looks uncomfortable lmao)

uhm. again i am so sorry that this is so long i THINK this is everything? if not: my inbox/dms are always open if you ever want to ask more questions, wanna follow up on something, etc etc!! (also if you ever start editing please send me your edits!!! i'd love to see them <3)
