Hi, I honestly don’t mind it too much if people share my gifs around, but if you’re doing it to farm likes on twt, upvotes on Reddit, or saves on Pinterest, the bare minimum you can do is to link/credit the gifs back to the blog.

I know a few people that have told me that my gifs are so distinguishable that they immediately know I made them, but it’s still mildly annoying to see them being posted as something to farm engagement without me knowing. These gifs take time and effort to do. The least you can do, if you want to farm engagement out of the gifs I make, is to link it back to this blog.

And honestly, serious gifmaking takes time. People say I’m “fast” but these still take an hour, hours, or sometimes days to do. It’s not just putting stuff into an app and automaking the gifs I make. There’s a reason why people say they’re super “high-quality”. It’s because I still make them via Photoshop, sharpen, edit, and color them etc etc.

I’m not here trying to make any money or asking for money with making gifs. I’m very privileged to say that I don’t need to. But I make these things out of own free time for fun, out of the love for the show and its characters— and that’s free time that I could spend doing something else.

Ever since the new year started, I’ve gotten pretty burnt out making stuff everyday (except for CaitVi and making the occasional requests from the Discord server that I love very much). I have no idea if I can still keep up with making daily gifs at this point since I’m also much busier now with irl things.

But if you wanna see more gifs being made and support me with this hobby, please do reblog, like, share with credit, or link back the gifs I make. That’s really it!

And no, spamming likes or spamming reblogs isn’t annoying! In fact, I enjoy them so much! Tumblr thrives on reblogs as well! Fandom is all about having fun and interacting with people who enjoy the same interests as you, so please don’t hesitate to reblog or like the posts!

If you’re wondering why there’s less and less of gifmakers out there, this is also one of the major reasons why people stop making things. A lot of gifmakers and especially graphic/edit makers feel like the effort they exert for the things they make is simply not worth it.

And if you have a problem with me or with my gifs, then make them yourself.

You can find so many tutorials here too! There’s so many talented people on Tumblr that have posted their gif-making tutorials that I personally also learned from. They’re all amazing! Turn your love for the media into something that we all can enjoy together!

If you’ve reached the end of this post, thank you. I appreciate you ❤️ I know it’s giga long lmao, but I needed to get this outta my system haha. Thanks for understanding!

HOLY FUCK. What a movie. Just what a movie. Holy fuck

(Or, it was incredible. Absolutely blew my socks off. Please go and see it. You do not need to have watched anything else in the franchise, it's completely standalone (though it very much retains much of the symbolism of the original and other films). Especially go see it if you like kaiju films. But it was such a good film about humanity and hope. Just incredible. Go and see it.)

hi ari!! thoughts on suguru with a stubbon/ independent partner?? I think it would make a cute slowburn of sorts

hi lovely little anon!!!!!! <3 I AGREE. this is one of my fav readers to pair with him actually…… someone who rejects his care……… it’s so tasty because the thing about suguru is . he WILL see it as a challenge lmao ……. i think that when he’s just getting to know you his caretaking is subtle. like him opening the door for you, grabbing you a drink, offering to carry your bag <- that kinda thing. he does it smoothly and fully expects you to let him help, so when you don’t…

he’s not exactly bothered. but it only makes him more intent on breaking through and getting you to lean on him. if he likes you he will want to do things for you, it’s just in his nature— there’s not really any escaping that. so yes, i do think it’d be a slowburn <3 but it’s basically just suguru desperately trying to gain your trust. once you do start leaning on him he’ll be very pleased :3c i also think this kind of reader is good for him bc he’s even worse at letting people take care of him lmao…. but if you used that as a bargaining chip then maybe he’d relent. a bit

I finally finished up all those HDB outfit suggestions!! Had a lot of fun with them before I got waaaay carried away with it (already had all the traditional sketches laid out by Wednesday but then I thought that I could just clean them up a little bit and... here we are...)

Anyways! Close-ups under cut!

[eponastory]

Let's unpack this, shall we?

First... learn some grammar. That way people will actually understand what you are saying. That means using punctuation. This is just one long ass run-on sentence and it's not even a cohesive thought. You'd get an F immediately if this were being graded.

Second, the show gives us Enemies to Friends with Katara and Zuko. In this instance, she isn't just protecting Aang, she's protecting everyone else in the group. And when she says, "we both know you've struggled with doing the right thing in the past," this isn't hate, it's hurt and knowing. Katara is hurt, and she doesn't want anyone else to get hurt. You'll see what she means on TSR.

Third, her role is 'The Heart' It's a pain in the ass because this role is external while the person in the role has to internalize their own priorities. She breaks free of this in TSR and becomes a bigger player. This is actually something I give the writers credit for.

Fourth, Katara did not see Aang as a Powerful Bender until Sokka points it out. This automatically puts Katara in a self-fulfilling prophecy that shouldn't have happened in the first place. Fortune tellers are ambiguous in their meanings anyway. It could be one of several people that Aunt Wu was talking about. Not just Aang and Zuko. This whole action limits Katara by taking her choices away. She now believes that she 'has' to be with Aang. This is probably the worst decision that could've been made regarding Katara's character. Her ability to make her own destiny has been taken away from her with a palm reading. That's where the problem comes from.

And finally... fix your tags.

Hi, I found some information regarding Alastor’s romantic orientation/aromantism!

HAZBIN HOTEL Pilot Cast LIVE Panel! (1:03:13)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5ONxBZoR0A&t=3793s

oh yeah I have seen this, realise I hadn't actually fully watched that section before now though

yeah I do think this is more respectful than certain previous statements but I still like don't understand vivzie's insistence on not wanting to confirm alastor's aromanticism, I feel like she's not fully consistent with her logic

like she agreed when one of them pointed out that with every broken heart there's an aspec person out there who appreciates the rep but even after that still went on to say it was "canonical information that might spoil a little bit of fun"

she admits she can't control the fanbase, I also admit I can't control other fans, but that should be precisely why she should just confirm it. she can't control the fanbase anyways they will have their fun anyways no matter what his canonical identity is ANYWAYS just SAY he's aro so we have our rep
