‼️ Do you want a gifset of your favorite show? or movie? or character? or musician?

Read the rest of the post to find out how!

I want to help Mohammed @fadi-018 and his wife Mariam @mariam-fadi. Mariam is currently pregnant! They're trying to fundraise €15,000 for surgery for their son Fadi and medical treatment for Mohammed who contracted hepatitis, as well as basic necessities. They have been fundraising since MAY and are only at €2,154 of their goal!!

Before this current round of aggression Mohammed was a cab driver and Mariam was an engineer. Their son Fadi loves to take care of animals- especially his cat! Unfortunately due to Israel's cruelty his cat was killed.

They need your help to take care of their son and their coming baby!

The fundraiser is currently at €2,154 / €15,000

hello and welcome to my tutorial on how to create gifs like this one! full explanation under the cut, but if you wanted to take a little peek at the gifset attached to this tutorial, here ya go!

for the purposes of this tutorial i am assuming you know

how to make a gif

what vhs footage looks like

STEP ONE: MAKING YOUR GIF

choose your footage and plug it into your desired software of choice! i use photoshop for this so i can only attest to the efficacy of these methods in that context

as for shot selection, you could feasibly choose anything. however, i prefer shots without too much movement in them - makes it look more like a home video.

because of the heavy amount of colors and filters, i'd recommend a gif somewhere around the 40-50 frames! but of course you can play around.

oh i also set the frame delay to 0.08 seconds. this is slower than most gifmakers tend to set theirs, but it makes it run buttery smooth imo.

STEP TWO: MAKING THE COLORING

here's where we get vhs specific. if you're unfamiliar with vhs footage, i recommend clicking through this youtube playlist! if you're not interested in the coloring, skip to step three (smart object fuckery + filters)

now while making a set i tend to choose some primary colors for my gifs. in the gifset i linked above, i chose to work with blue and orange-y yellow. in some of the other gifs i'll be using as examples (from an unfinished set) i chose green and yellow.

to create the above coloring i generally use these steps:

1) curves

i'm a maniac so i use the same curves layer to initially edit the luminosity AND colors of my gifs. the purpose of this layer is to edit brightness/contrast like i normally would and already start the process of changing the colors a little bit. this is my curves layer for the blue house gif:

to make the gif go from the left image to the right image:

as you can see i used the brightening curves to make the footage a whole lot lighter. i also increased the reds to get rid of the cyan tint a lot of blue footage has, slightly increased the blues, and once again decreased the greens to get rid of any cyan. this does make the blue hue a bit more purple, which is a nice bonus!

as for the gif of the boy, that one's a little harder to show a before and after for, but i'lls how the curves for good measure:

the original shot was already quite bright so i only edited the brightness a litttle bit. because i knew i wanted the gif to be green and yellow, i increased the greens, decreased the reds (except in the shadows), and decreased the blues (to get yellow)

2) channel mixer

now the channel mixer layer takes a little getting used to so i recommend experimenting. ALWAYS USE THIS LAYER ON THE COLOR BLENDING MODE for a more even result.

i use channel mixers to sort of... unify the colors a bit more. for the house gif, for example, i increased the blue channel to +110% blue, but decreased the blue in the red (-12%) to retain the yellow in the window.

if you want me to explain this more in depth, send an ask! it'll be kinda longwinded though

before / after of the boy gif with curves/channel mixer.

3) levels

this is where it starts looking more vhs-y! vhs footage has light shadows and dark highlights.

first, set your levels layer to luminosity blending mode to retain your beautiful colors.

then, crunch the hell out of your gif to make it very... mid.

this may feel a little wrong at first but i prommy it'll look okay at the end. a before/after for the boy:

now that's starting to look familiar right?

4) color fill/gradient map

because i want to unify my colors/make sure my gif is saturated, i usually add either a color fill or gradient map layer. in the case of the house, i chose to go with a dark blue color fill:

because the coloring of the boy gif was a little more complex, i decided to go with a brown to green gradient map.

this will make the shadows yellow, and the highlights green.

BOTH THESE LAYERS ARE SET TO OVERLAY. i usually fiddle with the opacity of them until i like it, but it's anywhere from 7% - 17% depending on what i feel like that day

5) curves (again)

this layer is probably useless but i do it anyway to make myself feel better. this is just a regular curse layer to up the brightness a tiiiiny bit and amke sure everything's clear. also it helps counteract the darkness your overlay color will add in.

6) color balance

this is my most subtle layer so i won't be able to show before and after but i fiddle with the color distribution a little until i'm satisfied. set this layer to color blending 'cause that's what you wanna affect!

i decided i wanted the house gif shadows to be a little more purple, for example, so i added in red (+3), magenta (-1) and blue (+1). etc etc. do what feels good!

STEP THREE: SMART OBJECT FUCKERY AND FILTERS

OKAY that was a lot. sorry or you're welcome. but good news: now's the fun part. convert your animation to a timeline, then select both your coloring and gif layers, right click, and select convert to smart object.

now that your gif's a smart object, i usually crop it. i tend make vhs aes gifs a 4:3 ratio (so 540 x 405 px) because that's what vhs footage was usually recorded as! crop your gif, resize, and then we can continue.

1) color bleeding

vhs footage usually bleeds its colors - this manifests as a short of... weird subtle halo around any object. the way to recreate this in photoshop is to duplicate your smart object.

set your copied smart object to color blending. now move it to the side a couple of pixels (i usually do around 5px, but you do you!)

as you can see, the tree and chimney (and everything else but less prominently) have a yellow shadow to them. this is exactly what we want!

2) filters

now's the time to add your filters and make it look like shit (but on purpose!) first, select both smart objects and convert to smart object again. this will ensure the filters apply to all layers evenly.

i use the following filters:

unsharp mask (amt 35%, radius 4px) - this will subtly add some sharpening but only on the edges of objects

add noise (amt 7.5%, distr. uniform, not monochromatic) - this will add the signature vhs grain.

box blur (2px) - i edit this to be 75% opacity with the little arrows to the right, just to make sure you can still make SOMETHING out when you're looking at the gif. MAKE SURE THIS FILTER IS ON TOP OF YOUR NOISE FILTER. tumblr will kill your gif otherwise

4) ONE LAST THING

usually at this point i'm not happy with either the saturation or levels. (usually the levels). so on top of your smart object, add another saturation or levels layer and fuck around!

in the case of the house gif, i thought it was too bright still so i set my output levels to 13 and 216. for the boy, i thought the shadows were too dark, so i set my shadow output to 11.

BEFORE & AFTER:

aaaand that's it! thanks for reading! if you have any questions, feel free to come to my askbox, i'm always happy to explain my process. happy giffing 🥰

UraIchi Week 2024

Monday, July 1st, 2024 - Sunday, July 7th, 2024

AO3 Collection

Full Prompts List Submitted This Year

(Click images to enlarge. Alt text under the cut.)

What is UraIchi Week?

It’s a week-long fanworks event to promote the Urahara Kisuke x Kurosaki Ichigo ship. There’s no sign-up, it’s just for fun, and everybody can participate. Completed works and wips are both acceptable, and any type of fanwork (fanfic, fanart, gifsets, etc.) is welcome. NSFW and/or potentially trigger-y content is allowed, although please remember to tag your works properly.

The ship itself can be written romantically or platonically, as lovers or friends or even enemies, so long as it stars these two characters together in some way. Poly ships are also fine so long as Ichigo and Kisuke are still the focus of the fanwork. And crossovers and fusions are also allowed even if it isn’t one of the given prompts for the event. Basically, anything goes, and the only criteria is that it has to be UraIchi-centric.

Posting:

UraIchi Week is hosted here on Tumblr and on AO3. For posts on Tumblr, remember to ping @uraichievents and tag #UraIchi Week 2024. For AO3, you can add your work(s) to the collection linked up above. You are also welcome to join the UraIchi Discord server if you haven’t already and come and talk about what you’re working on!

Themes:

July 1st, Day 1: i've met you before / i'll meet you again / this is the first time we've met.. right?

Time Travel / Dimension Travel

Identity Porn / Hidden Identities

“I've suffered from traumatic dreams of my past lives since I was a child, and I'm just now realizing that coming up to a beautiful stranger who looks like someone I've seen die a thousand times in a thousand different ways at a bar and asking if we've met before sounds a lot like a come-on haha no wait come back that doesn't mean I'm not desperately attracted to you please kiss me again” AU

July 2nd, Day 2: It's fact that killable problems are not real problems.

Murder Husbands

Ichigo is Deadpool / unbreakable / any other accidentally immortal being who is really kind of annoyed about it (because it’s boring, and he’s still young enough to be within his lifespan, but it sure takes the fun out of fighting).

All the times Ichigo died, he ACTUALLY died, he just came back. Every time he comes back, he comes back Wronger.

July 3rd, Day 3: Things I Should've Told You / Things I Don't Tell Anyone Else

The skeletons in your closet are about to overflow. Would you like me to tidy it up?

Ichigo is experimenting with self-expression, a hobby, etc., making up for lost time as a regular teenager. Urahara is always the first one (sometimes only one) to see or hear about a new idea.

“The person I trust most is you.”

July 4th, Day 4: Sword and Shield

I am yours to command, use me as you please.

Shiba!Ichigo and Second Division!Kisuke

Summoner/Mage AU: Paired summons who are good apart but unmatched together.

July 5th, Day 5: That One is Mine

Hollow Instincts / Feral Protective

Possessive!Kisuke: He stepped aside for Sui-Feng because Yoruichi was always master first and friend second and love interest never, and because Yoruichi wanted her in a way she's never wanted him. But Ichigo is different, and everyone soon realizes that when Kisuke truly wants something, he always gets it in the end.

“Death can’t have you. You’re mine.”

July 6th, Day 6: Monsters come in all shapes and sizes. Some are born, some are made, and some decide being a monster's pretty fucking cool.

Visored!Urahara Kisuke AU / Vasto Lorde!Kurosaki Ichigo AU

“Ichigo forges a friendship with his Hollow in the Shattered Shaft” AU

vs. Gotei 13 AU: Ichigo time travels back from a future where he was chained to the throne as the next Soul King by the Shinigami.

July 7th, Day 7: Creator’s Choice!

As always, the above prompts are all optional, and you’re free to come with your own ideas. You can also find an excel sheet with all the prompts submitted this year linked up above, so feel free to look through that if you want, and you can also make a copy for yourself.

And that’s it! We’re looking forward to what everyone comes up with!

some etiquette tips for quotev migrants

If you enjoy a post (piece of art, text post, writing, gifset, etc) interact however you would have on quotev!

Reblogging is like reposting an activity, but with a permanent link to op, and you can add your own thoughts in the tags or on the post itself. Very nifty. It's that little 🔄 symbol at the bottom.

Likes are a good short-form validation, and also a way to save posts so you can find them again later.

Comments are good for sharing your thoughts without having the post on your account for whatever reason.

Tags are optional, but useful for both organization and extra commentary that will stay on your blog (unless someone likes your tags. Then they may copy/screenshot and add to the post, or copy them in their own tags.)

if you trigger tag something, don't censor the trigger. That will only make it harder for people who have that tag blocked to avoid it.

"Copying is ok" rules for tags don't apply to art; art is to be reblogged, not copy-pasted, unless given permission from the artist. It's also polite to credit an artist if you use their art for a header/pfp, and/or ask beforehand!

That said, gifs are free game pretty much, since they have built-in credit to whoever uploaded them.

When posting images it's helpful to use the alt text feature to add a description, or add one in the body of the post below or above the picture, since A; it's helpful for those who use screen readers, and B; sometimes pictures don't load and the description is sometimes vital to tell what the heck's going on, screenreader or no.

Ask boxes are for things you don't mind being publicly viewed; messages are for private discussions.

Anonymous asks are optional, meaning some people may have them turned off. Anon hate is unfortunately common and many people opt to avoid it.

Block and report bots on sight. Report for spam/bot violations; even if they're an nsfw bot, reporting for sexual content won't do anything to get rid of them. Bots are pretty recognizable when you know what to look for, as their blog will either be blank/have a insta model pfp and generic URL, or...be full of untagged porn.

Bots come in waves; there'll be a lot at once, then they'll die off to a handful, then eventually come back. It's a neverending battle!

You can block tags to avoid seeing content you don't like. To do this you go into "account" in the settings menu, and type whatever you wanna block in the content filters section.

Turn on timestamps! That way you can know if info is outdated, or just in general have a time frame for when something was made.

Block rather than argue. You'll be happier in the long run. Hell, even if someone just kinda gets on your nerves or yucks your yum, but especially if it's serious, since reporting does next to nothing and arguing just won't change someone who's stuck in their ways, and it's not your job to fix everyone who's wrong. Block their account and if you want, block their name on the filtered content. Chances are they won't even know or care so don't worry that it's rude.

Most of all, have fun!

That's all I can think of for now. My askbox is open if there are any questions!

[every-moment-a-different-sound]

@mellxncollie and I are both planning on making some gifsets for @painlandweek, and would love some fic writers to collaborate with!

The idea is for us to make gifsets based on your Painland Week fics, using quotes from or inspired by the scenes in your fic.

We’d have to ask you to send something over around a week or so before the prompt day is due to be posted so that we have time to work on it. If you can’t send a full fic, that’s not a problem! As long as you’re able to send over a draft/scene/quote/etc so that we have something to work with.

@mellxncollie is an absolute inspiration and I am certain will make you the most ridiculously stunning gifs you have ever seen. Olly's post is linked below, and has info about which prompts they’d like a collaborator for and how to contact them if you’re interested in collaborating with them for this event.

Personally, I am looking for collaborators for two days; Aug 10th the free day, and Aug 11th the soulmate au/crossover day.

The only restriction I'd like to add is no purely pwp fics please! Personally, I'm more than happy to make a gifset of your fic if it has some smut in it, but y'know. We have two cannon payneland hugs folks. Like, there's not a lot to work with for pwp! Otherwise, happy to do pretty much anything!

So if anyone is writing a fic for either of the above prompts and would like to collaborate with me, please dm me! Or if you have any questions, let me know!

PSA: reposting gifs is stealing!

i'm directing this specifically at the wotshow fandom because i've seen this rampantly in the wot on prime tag in the past week, but it applies to all fandoms.

gifmakers spend hours creating gifsets for you all to enjoy. if you just save their gifs and repost them in your own post without crediting them, as if they were your own gifs that you made, that's extremely disrespectful. it's equivalent to reposting art without crediting the original artist, which as we all know is a big internet no-no.

so, what to do instead?

1) Just Don't Repost Gifs. if you like the gifs so much, just reblog the original damn post. it's not that hard.

2) say you're making a post and you want to use someone else's gif to illustrate your point. use the little gif button within the text post editor. this will allow you to search for gifs on tumblr and insert them into your post, and doing so will automatically put the creator's name at the bottom of the gif and link back to the original post.

3) what if you have a certain gif you really want to use in your post, but you can't find it in the tumblr-wide gif search feature? then provide the same crediting information, but manually. tag the OP of the gif (this will give them a notification and give them the opportunity to ask you to remove their gif from your post, if they wish) AND link to the original gifset (so that if someone's looking at your post and thinks "wow, what a pretty gif! i'd love to see the full set" they can do so).

(also, i can't speak for all gifmakers. i used to not want my gifs reposted at all, but i've accepted that's a losing battle, so my official stance now is that you may use my gif in your own post IF you properly credit my blog AND my original post using either method 2 or 3 above. but that's my personal stance and other gifmakers may have different ones.)

(also, i should add that methods 2&3 are, for me at least, only if you want to use a specific gif or two for illustrating your point in a text post. if you're thinking of reposting an entire gifset of mine and just, like, giving it a different caption or something, do not do that. just reblog the original gifset.)

what about reposting to other platforms? well, that's also subjective for each gifmaker. i saw one of my gifs reposted to twitter a couple weeks ago and i was kinda pissed about it, although i would've been a little LESS pissed if the tweeter had credited me, which they did not. on the other hand, made-for-tumblr gifs look like ass on other platforms, so i also don't really care that much if twitter users are looking at a tiny shitty compressed version of my lovely gif whilst tumblr users are enjoying to its fullest extent.

Hi, Regina is my absolute favourite in ouat and you made her stunning in this gifset ✨

I was wondering how did you make glitch effect from green to b&w, Would you please post a tutorial?

Hi! Thank you so much! the start of the tutorial is below the cut but because it's multiple gifs and I could only add so many photos to a post to explain, I have had to split it onto another post but I have put a link at the end when it's time to move onto the next one. :) if anything doesn't make sense or if anyone follows this and it helps, i would love to know either way!

Glitch effect tutorial used on this set below the cut

note: credit to this tutorial which was very helpful when i was making the set but i didn't feel it explained how to do the b&w gif and that's what took me a while to figure out, so if anything on this tutorial isn't clear, that one should also help. this will be slightly different because in my set i made it so the glitch faded into each other and i've added my own flare to it but the basic technique is the same.

create 2 gifs the same size, you can add whatever colouring, sharpening etc you like, one in colour, one in b&w (you can do 2 in colour but for the purpose of this i'm doing one b&w to show how to do both versions).

i'm going to do the b&w gif fading into the colour gif on this tutorial (bc that's just what i started editing first) but obviously if you're making a full set decide which gif you want to fade into which because the first part of the gif will have the glitch effect on the end and the second will have it at the beginning so it will matter for the final outcome of your set

PART 1 - B&W GIF

if you edit in frame animation, you must convert your b&w gif to the video animation timeline otherwise the colours will not show up on the glitch effect. you can do this by clicking the lines menu above the frames

i usually colour in frame animation because it plays quicker to preview how it will look and then convert to video to add my sharpening at the end but it's personal preference how you create your gifs.

hold control + select all of your frames > right click > convert to smart object

all of your frames, colouring etc should all be in one frame now, select it > click the lines menu above the animation timeline again > convert frames > flatten frames into clips

you should now have a longer list of layers that make up each frame of your gif

this is because we need to convert back to frame animation to edit the glitch effect onto individual frames. if you don't flatten the frames to clips the gif will not play when it's converted because 1 layer will equal only 1 frame. it may seem long winded to go back and forth but it makes sure all your colouring is already included in the frames when you make it glitch. if you add the colouring afterwards it will change the colour of the glitch effect or turn it black and white and it won't be very visible (if anyone has an easier way i'm very happy for suggestions, i was just figuring this out as i went and found the glitch didn't work on the b&w gif any other way for me!!)

now we go back to the 3 lines menu > convert frames > convert to frame animation

if you get this pop up, press continue. it's fine because we have each of our frames in their own layers now

your frame animation timeline will initially load with just one frame

go to the lines menu again > make frames from layers

now all of the frames will load, but they will be at 0 seconds (except the first frame) and we need to make them all run at a playable speed, so go back to that same lines menu above the timeline > select all frames > select under any frame where it says 0 sec. > other > i usually put in 0.05 but do whatever works for you

PART 2 - ADDING THE GLITCH EFFECT

pick a frame about 5 from the end, select it and select the corresponding layer with the eye icon next to it to show it's the one visible

right click > duplicate layer (or just press control + J)

then on the copy of the layer right click > blending options (or double click)

in the advanced blending section, untick R > ok

make sure the move tool is selected

now using the arrow keys on your keyboard move that layer either left or right as many notches as you like (i've started out with 10 here)

hold control > select both the visible layers

right click > merge layers

now move onto the next frame and corresponding layer and repeat the same process (i have no idea why my ps decided frame 46 doesn't exist so ignore that dkjddj)

if the frame(s) below is still visible, just click the eye to hide it so only the one you're working on and it's copy layer are showing

this time i've moved the layer 6 notches to the right as below

keep going until you get to the end of the animation. you can move each layer as much as you like either side just play around with your gif and do whatever you think looks good! if you want to do more than the last 5 frames or less than them, do that too! just remember that we are also going to put a glitch on the coloured gif then combine them, so the final glitch effect will be longer

when you're done, you might have to go back to the first frame on your animation and hide all of the layers you've just edited because on mine they all visible so the gif won't play

then go back to the end of the gif and make the right layer visible on the right frame again (hopefully this makes sense)

so far, the gif should play something like this

to make it smoother i picked a few frames earlier in the gif, before the start of the glitch at the end to add the same effect to the first frame i edited was number 32 (layer 'frame 45'), so i'm going to add it to frames 25 and 26 as well

then i selected the last frame and layer > filter (at the top of the screen) > blur > motion blur

then pick another frame and corresponding layer > filter > noise > add noise

do this to a couple of frames of your choice with the glitch effect on too, it makes it a little more grunge-y which i think fits with the concept that it's supposed to be glitching/broken

now it looks like this, subtle but in my opinion notably smoother

go to the left side of the screen under the frame timeline and click the convert to video timeline button

once i've converted it back to the video timeline, i like to select all of my layers again > right click > group from layers (or select all and control + g). i'm going to rename this b&w so it doesn't get confusing later

I can only add 30 images per post so this tutorial is CONTINUED HERE!

Tag guide / blog navigation 👑

Hello people!

I have gotten a lot of visitors and followers recently, so I thought I'd write a tag guide / blog guide for ease of use.

I tag everything for your convenience😳, use that to your advantage.

Characters are tagged as their first names in reblogs, aka others' content I reblog (such as #godrick #morgott and so on), and as their full names in my self-made content (e.g. #godrick the grafted).

I am a Godrick-heavy blog, but will do posts for other characters too if I'm in the mood.

I have a Kofi

Besides tumblr, I have a twitter and instagram too, I also post occasionally on reddit and pinterest.

Tags (with links) regarding my own posts:

My art tag is #tarnussyart

My gifsets are tagged as #tarnussygif

my character reference posts are tagged as #tarnussyref

My virtual photography is tagged as #tarnussyscr

My memes and shitposts are tagged as #tarussymeme

Everything above is tagged as #mine collectively

Lore talk is tagged as #lore

My videos are tagged as #tarnussyvideo

Others' content I reblog is tagged respectively how you'd tag them sitewide, such as #gif #screenshot #meme etc.

I reblog occasional nsft headcanons / fics, those are tagged as #smut

My Godrick anatomy masterpost can be found here

My Morgott anatomy masterpost is here

My Fallingstar Beast anatomy masterpost is here

Not directly Elden Ring content that can still be related to it in my head is tagged as #other

I occasionally reblog my own posts for new followers, those will be tagged as #srb

You can always hit up the blog archive on pc / laptop (aka tumblr web), and see all of my stuff there in one place, sorted by month and / or tags. However, unfortunately not every post shows up in the archive, so your best bet to see everything is just to scroll the actual blog, and click on the hashtags there.

Thank you for visiting / following!

[vampirefest]

For the month of November, we bring to you a fun Lestat-inspired bingo that you can have fun filling out throughout the month.

As per usual, this event is organized by and for Vampire Chronicles and AMC IWTV fans and we are open to any and all fan works: fanfiction, gifsets, edits, whatever makes your creative juices flow. 

Rules and guidelines

There are no rules, just have fun with it!

We have 8 prompts + a free space square but feel free to use more than one per creation and to mix and match to your heart's desire.

This is a low-pressure event. If you fill one square, amazing! If you manage to get a bingo or a full card, also amazing! We want this event to be a fun creative experience, so let that be your only goal. 

All versions of the characters are welcome, just be sure to specify which in your tags if you think it's relevant.

We are firm believers of “don't like don't read”, so be sure to curate your experience if there are some prompts, pairings or types of content that make you uncomfortable.

Any kind of media is welcome. Options include, but are not limited to: fanfiction, fanart, fanvids, edits, podfics, edits etc. Whatever you feel inspired to create, we’re happy to have it. 

Cross-posting with other events is welcome, just make sure you’re satisfying the requirements for this event. 

You can share your work on any platform you like. If you make a post here on Tumblr or Twitter, tag us and we'll reblog you.

Reblogs will happen largely in the evening (CST/EST) so keep an eye out for that. 

Be sure to tag with #vflestatbirthdaybingo or tag this blog @vampirefest so that we can easily find your post.

Please also include: 

Which square/Prompt you have filled.

Any relevant warnings or ratings, tags or trigger warnings (we want to take care of our little community, so please tag appropriately).

You may also include the relationship you’re writing if that is applicable but keep in mind we will reblog with the exact tag you use so ensure your ship name is correct. 

Example of how reblogs will be tagged:

#VFlestatbirthdaybingo #[square number] #[prompt being filled] #[type of content; fanart, fanfic etc.] #[trigger warnings that we get from your post] tw #[ship name or pairing]

AO3 collection:

The Lestat Birthday Bingo AO3 collection will be open starting on November 1st: You can find the collection here.

We’ll keep the collection open even after November ends for people who still want to add their works.

Instructions on how to add your works to the AO3 collection:

To add your fics to the collection, simply go to [Edit Work] on AO3 and type in VFLestatBirthdayBingo in the [Post to Collections / Challenges] box that is located below [Summary] and [Notes] and it should pop up in the suggestion.

You can also head to the collection main page linked above and hit the [post to collection] button.

If you have any questions, please hop into our ask box. Suggestions and comments are also welcome.

Happy Lestat Month!

[bellarke-events]

Bellarke Valentines is open! Sign up now!

Welcome to Bellarke Valentines! An event created for the Bellarke fandom inspired by fandom events like Secret Santa and Holiday Gift Exchange, but it’s for Valentine’s Day! Do you like Bellarke? Do you like making and receiving Bellarke creations? Do you like interacting with other creators? Do you like putting a smile on someone’s face with your creations? You can do all of these things this Valentine’s Day with our interactive fandom event!

To put it simply, everyone gets assigned a user that they make a gift for, and in return you’ll also receive a gift for Valentine’s Day!

Everything you need to know will be listed below, (Don’t forget to check out the FAQ!) and if you’d like to participate please fill out our Sign-Up Forms! We’d be happy to have you! We will be tracking #bellarkevalentines starting now! Any updates will be posted under that tag!

Sign-Ups And Steps For Participating

Fill out the form listed above with the information needed. It’s relatively simple, just the basics for participating. Please do this by January 31st, sign ups will close at 11:59 PST. (If you need to know when this is for you, you can search for a time zone converter or contact us and we’ll help.)

Shortly after this, you’ll receive a message from us with your gift recipient. This should be February 1st or 2nd. If it takes longer for you to receive a message, please let us know. Your gift recipient will have selected the type of media you chose to create. They may have selected other media as well, but we’ll try to match you up as best as we can so you’ll be matched with as many applicable prompts as possible.

Start on your creations! Check out your prompts and see what you like best! Every participant should provide at least three (even more is encouraged!) prompts as a jumping off point. Prompts may be short and simple (Example: Gifset of Bellarke in S2) or more detailed (Like a full description for a fic). If you have any questions at this point, feel free to reach out to us.

Post on Valentine’s Day! It’s February 14th and you’ve finished your creation and are ready to post? Go ahead! There is no set time, just whatever part of the day works for you! Remember to tag #bellarkevalentines and/or #bellarkevalentines23 so we can reblog it. (If your gift is posted outside of Tumblr and you’d like us to post a direct link, please message us!)

As covered in the FAQ, gift extensions are available for a limited duration. Running late? We understand! If you won’t make it on the day, you may request an extension up until the following weekend. This gives you about five extra days max. After that, we’ll work on a backup gift for your recipient. This is simply so we can insure everybody gets a gift and no one is left out.

Lastly, enjoy your gifts! We absolutely cannot wait to see what everybody creates! We hope to see a lot of romance and fluff. ;)

If you have any questions that haven’t been answered in this post or the FAQ, please feel free to contact us! We’ll help out in any way we can! We hope you can join us! Reblogs of this post are appreciated to spread the word. 💖

Wyler Kink Bingo - Rules and FAQs

Here is everything you need to know about our upcoming summer of smut kink bingo!

Rules: (adapted from the SPNkinkevents tumblr)

You are expected to respect the work of all participants. Anyone caught behaving otherwise will be automatically disqualified from participation and blocked by the blog.

No plagiarism will be tolerated - suspicions of plagiarism should be brought to the attention of this blog so that they can be investigated.

Fills featuring an OT3 are permissible so long as Wednesday and Tyler are both apart of the relationship (Example: Wyclay).

Please tag ships/kinks/ratings appropriately.

Tag each submission with the corresponding kink listed on your card. For example, if you're writing for pain play, tag #pain play.

If you are creating Fanart, Graphics, Gifsets, etc. that are nsfw, it may be helpful to you to host them on another site in place of or in addition to Tumblr due to Tumblr’s anti-p*rn guidelines and then link them - it’s up to you!

If you post your entire fic to Tumblr, please be sure to insert a readmore to keep posts from being overly long

You must tag for Noncon, Underage (under 18), extreme underage (under 13), cannibalism, bestiality, necrophilia, and character death if your work contains them. If you do not tag for those, your work will not be reblogged or considered a fill until you do so.

You may complete more than one bingo card, but only after having finished one in its entirety. We encourage you to explore writing for kinks that you may not normally!

One kink per fic - meaning, you can't write a single piece containing multiple kinks from your card (of course, many kinks overlap, but the fic will be consider a single fill only). You can, however, write a multichapter fic with a different kink for each chapter - and each chapter will be considered a separate fill!

Free space: Fill this space with a kink of your choice.

We highly recommend that you cross-post to another server as well, such as Archive of Our Own.  We have a collection on AO3 for your creations.

Examples of acceptable submissions:

Fanfiction and Poetry

Fanart

Graphics

Gifsets

Picspam

Playlists

Fanvids

Point system:

1 fill = 10 pts

Full bingo card (all 9 squares) = 140 pts (90 + extra 50)

FAQs

Q: What if I missed the signups deadline (June 30th)? A: if you miss the deadline, please feel free to message this blog to see if you can still join.

Q: Can I write a fill for another writing event combined with this one? A: Our bingo allows writing one piece for two (or more) events, as long as both prompts are filled. Make sure the other writing event allows that too!

Q: Is there a minimal amount of words per fill? A: There isn't! right as much or as little as you like.

Q: What does competing for points mean? A: When we finish the kink bingo (August 31st), all participants should post a masterlist of their creations, so we could reblog all of your smutty, kinky pieces. However, if you want your creations not only shared but also calculated using the point system above, you need to mention that using the sign up form. You don't have to compete for points if you don't want to!

Q: Can I get more than one card? A: You're more than welcome to claim another card once you finish your first one.

Q: I have Hyde Sex in my bingo card, or plan to write hyde sex with a different kink. Should I tag for bestiality? A: The proper tag/warning for that case would be monsterfucking, monster sex or simply hyde sex.

Q: Where is the ao3 collection for all the creations made for this bingo? A: The ao3 collection can be found here. Make sure you post your works to this collection. Please tag your tumblr post of the story with #wyler kink bingo as well.

Q: Who is running this event? A: The mods are @suchaladyy, @therulerofallpotatos, and @wincestation.

Any other questions or requests? Feel free to drop an ask!

tagged by @princemick to do this f1 gifmaker ask game! thanks sm for the tag <3

1. which drivers do you mainly make gifs for?

seb. like, exclusively. and mark a lot but we do NOT talk about it

2. out of the above (if more than 1), who's your fav to make gifs for and why?

well. it's rlly hard to choose between seb and seb and seb, but i think i'm gonna have to go with... seb. don't get me wrong!! i adore seb also

3. link the fav gifset you've made, and tell me a little about it.

probably my baku 2022 weekend summary! very clearly inspired by "make art not war"... it's a little basic, but i like how it turned out still! esp the typography for "are you insane?!"

4. link your fav gifset from another creator.

always and forever thinking about fir @josefnewgayden 's incredible impeccable giffing skills!! this set in particular gives me immense brainworms, absolutely in love with f1 x star wars concepts! also the sebchal film edit. top tier.

5. off the top of your head!! tell me about the most memorable tag you've received recently

this is gonna be a shocker. are you ready for it. alright. here goes: #sebastian vettel

6. which f1 media source (post-race interviews, sf full access, no brakes, etc) is your fav to make gifs from?

bold of you to imply that making gifs is enjoyable at any point and not, like, something god possesses me to do as part of some sick twisted experimented seeing how much torture a human being can endure before they break. that said: i actually rlly like presscons?? i think some of my best sets have been from press conferences

7. tag someone else!

well Obviously tagging @josefnewgayden and @brawn-gp the GOATs of this place... @h-f-k and @andrelottering if you like! trying to think of other gifmakers and drawing a blank i'm so sorry my brain is dead 💀. @husbono and @maranello and @queerbenched for the best most creative photo edits, if u wanna modify the questions!
