Top 5 Emotional Outbursts

See if no one else on this website has my back, I know Ben has my back because he is giving me a chance to talk about my boy Patts once more

TOP 5 EMOTIONAL OUTBURSTS OF 2023

Patts, La Pluie

gif by the beautiful, marvelous @liyazaki

Episode 10 was just an absolute masterclass in emotional outbursts. The fight between Lomfon and Patts, then Patts and Tai, then Lomfon and Tien, then Patts and Tai again. Like goddamn, finally thank fuck, Patts is able to let out years worth of frustration and pain at Tai's silence was just so beautiful, and cathartic, and necessary. What an absolutely incredible moment to not only witness but experience. Patts has been so kind, so patient, so forgiving, and it was time for all the pain that he's been letting simmer for two years out. Good! For! Him!

Uea and His Bio Family, Bed Friend

There are few characters in this world I hate more than Uea's mother, and it was so so so so so so wonderful to see Uea finally give her a piece of his mind. I am so proud of him for speaking his mind, standing his ground, and getting the ever living fuck out of his bio family's house. Too personal, sorry, but this fight hit especially well for me because I too have had a parent say they'd live perfectly happily without me, and it was great vindication of my reaction to that to see Uea GTFO immediately after.

Secondarily, James' sobbing screams at the beginning of episode 4 and in the flashback of him getting dragged in to the bathroom when he was an adult have never left my brain. James absolutely crushed those scenes and this was going to be my Bed Friend pick before I remembered this fight exists.

Jim and Li Ming // Heart and His Parents, Moonlight Chicken

I don't think I am exaggerating when I say that Jim and Li Ming's relationship dynamics is one of my favorite of all time. Aof is such an incredible screenwriter/director and I feel like he's able to make such realistic depictions of families in all their complicated glory. The screaming match between Jim and Li Ming is SO good, and really is what solidified my appreciation for Fourth's acting skills because there was a fucking storm cloud on his brow. Happy fucking birthday to you Uncle Jim I guess. Poor fucker.

And then of course, one of the first ever posts I made in the BL Sphere of tumblr was a full essay on Heart's confrontation which I loved so motherfucking much. Once again a much needed fight with lots of interesting, complicated emotions flying around the room.

Kiyoi and Hira, Utsukushii Kare Season 2

gif by @itsallaboutbl

"I'm sorry that I like you" one of the best moments of the year for me by far. This fight between Kiyoi and Hira was desperately, and I mean desperately needed. I know changing will be a slow process for the two of them, and even in Eternal they are no where near where they need to be, but Hira needs/needed to cut this Pebble to a God bullshit out and I am so glad that Kiyoi was able to call him on it. Also from a performance standpoint, Yagi Yusei had his work cut out for him as a scene partner to Hagiwara who absolutely bodied his role as Hira. In season one Yagi did not need to do all that much for his performance because we didn't know as much about Kiyoi until closer to the end, but that cannot be the case for Season 2 and Yagi knocked it out of the motherfucking park.

Sunshine and Q, 7 Days Before Valentine

Okay, almost positive this isn't a BL but I love when people structure TV shows like stage plays, and there was a fight between Sunshine and Q in like Episode 4 or 5 where they were shouting over each other and it just felt so real and the dead silence that hit the room when Q said something that struck a chord with Sunshine was expertly handled, and some of the best work I've seen out of Atom the whole show. I don't think anyone gifed it so I can't put the scene in, but I think you talked about it in your Stray Thoughts @bengiyo

And just cause I wanna, the Top 5 Emotional Outbursts of the pre-2023 shows I watched this year:

In and Wang's fight in 180 Degree Longitude Passes Through Us, Ep 8

Gav sobbing about his aunt in Gameboys (the movie, i think?)

Pran sobbing in to Pat's shoulder in Bad Buddy, Ep 10

Tarn's fight with Teh in I Told Sunset About You, Ep 4 (shout out to Smile there because I still cannot believe it was the first thing she filmed on set)

Shiro being terrified Kenji was dying and Kenji being worried Shiro was dying and the resulting clownery from them blurting that out in What Did You Eat Yesterday? I think it was the New Year's special.

ASK ME MY TOP 5 OF ANYTHING BL 2023

[lock-my-feelings-in-a-jar]

Hello, I don't know if I'm the first to ask this, but how do you make gifs?

If it's not a problem, could you explain it to someone who had never made gifs, but want to try?

As you can imagine, it's a fresh awoken need, because I think I just got a stroke watching a concert and I wanna try gifing, pls help a fangirl out 🙏

OKAY SO i use a program on my desktop called instagiffer, which actually makes gifmaking very easy once you get the hang of how it works and learn the shortcuts you can take with it. it's pretty easy to learn just messing around with it to see what everything does, but on top of that, i have a very efficient system that's been developing over the years.

this is what it looks like with no video loaded in it yet:

i had to load in a video to see these other things for screenshots, so here it is with a video loading in(one i started a long time ago and never finished but am working on now, i've posted one gif from it already though):

so it has the effects panel(which i never use except the enhance one but i've had to switch that off before on certain videos if it looked messed up):

and it has the captions panel, for subtitles or anything:

it's got the manual crop thing in the frames dropdown, so you can be more precise about cropping edges out instead of just relying on dragging the corners of the red square around:

as far as i'm aware, the program seems like it's been abandoned for a long time, the website for it hasn't been kept up, the social media pages for it, etc., but it's still available to download in places online somewhere i believe. or if you'd prefer, i could probably send it to you! i can also help with how to use it if you wanna give it a try, and tell/show you my usual routine.

besides that, sometimes i'll use ezgif .com to do things like remove frames or change speed on gifs i've already made or to resize them if i need to because it's quick and doesn't throw a watermark on it, but i think you can make them there too. i haven't done it because it didn't work for me when i was testing it out one day, but it might have just been me being impatient.

State of the Brain

I worry my Lower Decks fixation is on the wane. I mean, obviously I'm going to keep watching it, and I love it, it's my favorite show right now, etc., but I think I'm getting burned out on it. Maybe it's because I've focused so much on the clipping and the GIFing as of late. I focus so hard on it that it becomes work. Perhaps taking a break will revitalize me. Then again, it could just be the way my mind cycles. I never keep a fixation forever, unless you dilute it to the most basic element, like "games" or "animation," but even then I go through periods where I don't game that much or only watch live action stuff.

So why "worry" about it? Well, I've been talking big talk about writing fanfiction. Haven't actually written anything yet. All brainstorms and notes. I don't want it to go to waste. Maybe I'll try writing something after dinner, and tomorrow before work. I don't have any big story ideas, anyway. Just ficlets. Those wouldn't take long to write.

What about Spell Trek? It's still percolating. I haven't actively brainstormed anything, or at least not intentionally. Just letting it stew. Maybe I'll do some posts where I just talk it out soon. Could be fun.

Maybe I'm worried too much about writing actual stories, and I could just post about the weird scenes that come to mind. Snippets of dialogue. Peeks into the character's minds (as I imagine them, anyway). I don't NEED to write full stories to have fun with the ol' imagination engine *taps the side of his head*. Silly broken thing that it is.

Right now, though, I'm just going to go put food in me. Eating is necessary, sadly.

Top 5 Hitsuhina Moments :D

Ask me for my Top5/Top 10 of anything!

Had a feeling this would be one of the lists sent through :P I've actually answered this one before, but my rankings do tend to change over time, so right now my top 5 moments are:

5. When Toshiro puts up the kyomon barrier in episode 58

(Couldn't find a gif of him putting the barrier up, so I went with this one because the scene happens around the same time..would love if someone gifed that moment though!)

I feel it's underrated moment. I can see why though: it's short, a slightly anime-only moment, and there are bigger things to focus on in the scene. However, it shows where Toshiro's head is at and what he wants to do to protect Momo. While watching over her, he can only think about the moments she was in grief and pain during their confrontation (not about Gin or anything leading up to their confrontation). Then of course there's the line: “I can’t predict the movements of everyone, but I at least want to protect her from her enemies.” Makes me fangirl everytime, but it's heartbreaking in hindsight because 1) Toshiro cast a powerful barrier that stops people from getting in but not getting out, showing he thought she wouldn't leave (kind of reflecting on his thoughts in chapter 168 where he thought he should know Momo better than anyone) and 2) everything that happens to Momo from chapter 168 onwards. I talked more about this moment here if you're interested!

4. "I made a vow to never hurt Momo ever again."

(Couldn't find a gif of the reigai clones vs Toshiro or hime saying this line, but at least there's this one) It's anime-only but I don't care! This episode just...my shipping heart! This is a tour-de-force of Toshiro's emotions, from his concern for Momo being out in middle of all the battles to shock and horror when they're destroyed (even though they were his enemies, he can't stand anything in Momo's image being destroyed). But the one that will always get me is after being cut down by the reigai Momos, he's relieved niether of them as the real Momo, because he doesn't want to hurt her again or be hurt by others. Just... GAH! And the reigai Momos reactions, hurt and surprised, and then after being destroyed by Yoruichi, both of them are glad they failed in their mission and wished they were the original....GAAAAAAAH! Unless Kubo shows how these two reconciled, this is the closest I feel to closure about the events that went down in the Fake Karakura Town arc. I talked more about it here!

3. The apology

It's a moment I didn't expect to happen, but I was so glad it did. For a moment they weren't high ranking Shinigami, they were friends with a deep connection that ran all the way back to their childhood, and it nice a reprieve from the darker eleme has pointed out, she would have gone to the First Division to seek permission to speak with Toshiro after Yamamoto was done with his buisness on the call, I can't imagine that being an easy request to make). You can see even before she made the apology she was remorseful but also hesitant, perhaps worried Toshiro wouldn't accept her apology, that their bond was in taters, but she still wanted to apologise as soon as she could. In the end, Toshiro proves her wrong, saying she didn't need to apologise and showed he was more concerned for her wellbeing by saying she needed to go back to bed and rest. They're still friends, their bond is still there.

And then we see Toshiro trying to cheer her up in his own immature way, and all of this gets the very first smile we ever see him make, and it's a full on beaming on. Momo made it a point to apologise to Toshiro as soon as she could. She could've waited until he came from the World of the Living, but it seems that after waking up she wanted to apologise to him as soon as she could (and as @bleachbleachbleach has pointed out, she would have gone to the First Division to seek permission to speak with Toshiro after Yamamoto was done with his business on the call, I can't imagine that being an easy request to make). You can see even before she made the apology she was remorseful but also hesitant, perhaps worried Toshiro wouldn't accept her apology, that their bond was in tatters, but she still wanted to apologise as soon as she could. In the end, Toshiro says she didn't need to apologise and showed he was more concerned for her wellbeing by saying she needed to go back to bed and rest. This is enough to make her tear up, but it confirmed her worst fears didn't come to fruition; they're still friends, their bond is still there. And then we have Toshiro trying to cheer her up in his own immature way, and all of this gets the very first smile we ever see him make, and it's a full on beaming on. One I haven't talked about a lot is Momo responding smile though:

I've always felt it was a loaded smile, perhaps forming becaus Momo is reflecting on the fact though they're still friends, they've changed and have gone through a lot. Momo, with Aizen no longer there, I think really comes to terms with Toshiro being a captain here, because it's not until Toshiro is smiling at her and saying "I'm not Toshiro now...I'm Captain Hitsugaya." that she makes this smile. Maybe she's thinking about how Toshiro and everyone else is moving on - I say this because it's a major concern for her later on in the series according to Death Save the Strawberry where she laments that everyone is moving on quickly and she can't. Maybe she's relieved, knowing that despite him being a captain (and acting like this right in front of Yamamoto and Sasabike, two of the most formal figures in the Seireitei) and after everything they've been through, they can still be themselves. I'd love to know what people think about this one, so feel free to reblog or comment with your thoughts!

2. Track 8 'Flashback' AND Training in the Caves (and what it all led to)

(I swear, there's a reason I'm using the gif I have, bear with me!)

I'm cheating here but I really feel like you can make a case for these two moments to be together. That case being: Toshiro's will to protect Momo has been a constant through his life and has led to developing his zanpakuto's powers, as shown in these two moments.

For the first one, I'm referring to this drama disc track, where Toshiro is reflecting back on three memories from his time at the Academy. The memory I'm ranking here is the last one (from 2:50 onwards for those who watch the video) where he learns Hyourinmaru's name. Toshiro struggles at first, but then admits he wants to use the strength of his zanpakuto to protect things close to him, and eventually he proclaims "I want to protect her!". This immediately leads to him learning Hyourinmaru's name, and after coming out of his inner world, he finds out Momo was there the whole time. She's amazed by what she witnessed and she calls him 'Hitsugaya-kun' for the first time, making Toshiro blush.

I mean, come on! He learned his weapon's name because of his will to protect her, what isn't there to fangirl over?! How canon the drama discs are is debatable I know, but for me this just makes so much sense to his character. And then you have Momo being RIGHT THERE when it happens and she calls him 'Hitsugaya-kun' for the first time, showing growth in their friendship.

As for training scene, I talk about more in depth in the second half this post, but I'll give a short summary of my thoughts. It was the scene I desperately needed after everything that happened in chapter 392. It showed Toshiro had recovered and Momo was still recovering but at least she was alive! But the big take away from this chapter was Toshiro's will to get stronger for Momo, to refine his bankai to become strong enough to protect Momo. He feels guilt for what happened and what he failed to do, but he was back up on his feet and training only 10 days after the battle against Aizen. He didn't waste any time and threw himself into training as soon as possible and look what it led to.

There's a reason why I chose a gif of Toshiro in Hyourinmaru's Completed form: it's the result of all his training for wanting to become stronger for Momo (that and I couldn't keep going through the gifs of 'Toshiro Hitsugaya', there were too many and I couldn't find a single one of him training in the caves!) I'm planning on going more into this in a future post (likely the reconciliation headcanon one), but his training all lead to this form's powers, which aim to neutralize an enemy as quickly as possible. This form 's powers is ideal for protecting Momo, stopping a threat before it can reach her. As I said, I'm hoping to talk more about this in an upcoming post, so stay tuned!

1. Chapter 392 (and everything leading up to it)

This one hasn't changed in ranking, I think it always be number 1 for me (unless the new anime comes out with a scene or the [maybe upcoming] Hell arc with a chapter/panel to overtake it). It's the chapter that sent me over the edge and into full-blown shipping these two. How couldn't I after all the angst and emotions here?! Toshiro showed in the chapter prior that he was willing to forgo everything (his rank, his honour as a Shinigami) if it meant taking down Aizen. His hatred for the man blinded him though, and led to him doing something that will haunt him forever. Momo was so confused and in pain at the time, she thought for a moment she'd been betrayed by the one person who was a constant in her life. She uses his nickname, a connection to their past and a sign of how close they are...GAH! AND THE ARTWORK. That page of Toshiro screaming ALWAYS gets me, he looks like he's about to have a near mental breakdown. Admittedly, I would have hated this moment if it led to Momo's death and Toshiro never recovering, but thankfully no. This moment is a traumatic one for both of them, but if chapter 659 and the 13 Blades databook are any indication, their bond is still intact. It showed that no matter what they went through, nothing can separate them or force them apart. Also I just love angst, I can't help it! I did much bigger rants about this chapter here and here if anyone's interested.

Thanks so much for sending this in! :D

[dramaism]

hi! really like your kinn x porsche gifset for the recent ep! but just wondering..i rmb you mentioned you would be more interested in the next vegaspete scene than the pool scene? but i see you gifed the bit from the pool scene even if you felt vegaspete was ‘superior’. just wondering 😬 good day! 😇

hi, dear anonnie! okay, you didn't have to come at me like that

well you need to know something about me before we continue. i easily got bored when the couple is finally together and all sweet with each other. i drop most shows or watching them very briefly when the lovey-dovey phase comes. I usually don't enjoy the show as much as I did in the beginning

the same thing happened with kinnporsche. I don't know if you saw but after ep8 I've said that that much sweetness is not for me i didn't even have any set ideas in mind. I also made and angsty edit just after two episodes of kp lol craving angst already in that time. don't get me wrong i want them to be happy and in love it's just my preference as a viewer

and here's when vp comes. when i was like "it's too sweet for my poor heart" they gave me the angsty couple with insane chemistry and very complicated relationship to get obsessed to again. and of course i prefer them more now. but I'm sure this whole bored part will happen with vp too when i see them in their lovey-dovey phase (in some kind of imaginary season 2)

and now let me talk about the pool scene itself. they've been hyping this up for two months so much that i naturally assumed (and we all naturally assumed) that this will be another hot and passionate nc scene. what i didn't expect is for that to be angsty and tender and full of mostly bad emotions (you can't convince me otherwise it was a goodbye s*ex okay). and i need to tell you that my favorite nc scene of them is that desperate one in the end of the ep7 and this one comes very closely to that one. so yeah i loved this tender worshipping and loving act full of complicated emotions and made a set. sue me i guess

also the way mileapo delivered this scene? incredible, immaculate, perfect and go on

and I don't really know why I'm answering this ask and defending myself in some weird kind of way lol. i just wanna say that let us have different preferences and different tastes. I've never said anything offending about either mileapo or kinnporsche and I'll never say something like that. mileapo is an amazing duo that act so perfectly in every scene your brain just shuts itself down. but yes for me vegaspete is more interesting rn. I've never seen that kind of relationship on screen and it's truly fascinating to see how writers write their asses out of this mess. because it's a huge mess.

and good day to you too, dear!

[who-talks-first]

The Skywalker Legacy documentary confirms what I was already fairly certain was true.

I don't need to go in-depth for you Bendemption fans. I know you picked up on all the little things after the death of Kylo Ren.

But I just want to go over this a bit because, while I maintain that Kylo Ren didn't deserve redemption, if it HAD to be done, this was absolutely the best (only) way it could have happened, and I really respect Adam's performance and all JJ's attention to detail.

The metaphorical (and literal?) death of Kylo Ren and rebirth of Ben Solo don't need to be explained. But the inclusion of which gives us such a tangible, real, tactile setup for his redemption. It doesn't happen here. This is just the catalyst that lets it happen.

Harrison Ford's uncredited cameo is so beautiful. It makes this scene possible. I think it's meant to be intentionally vague, but I personally feel that Leia sent him through the Force. Memory, Force Ghost, regular ghost, guilt vision, whatever - Leia made sure her son saw it.

And from then on, with the rebirth of Ben, we get to see the man he could have been. Brave. Strong. Feeling. I don't know how they do it, but his entire affect AND appearance change. The way KR holds himself, how his hair falls is entirely different from those of BS. And it's impressive acting and makeup/wardrobe. Ben's hair is... dare I say it? Fluffy. Where we all mocked Kylo for his nasty greasy Snape hair. Something about Adam's face, even when he's fighting, feels more natural, more relaxed.

You know what? In 15 minutes of screen time for BS, I actually like him. Meaning, if he had been a character in movies instead of KR, I would have liked him and rooted for him along with the other heroes. He even looks more youthful. Instead of the 40 year old appearance in TLJ, Ben looks like he's 25 (a little closer to the character's actual age, I think). And I think that's good filmmaking that all those things can be made apparent * just like that.

Anyway. I want to focus on some details. There's probably something to be said about the costume change - from the hard, rigid armor of KR to the, uh, is that a sweater? of BS. When did he have time to do that? How'd he get off Endor? I have other questions about that escape, but that's not the focus of this discussion.

Anyway, I seen all the GIFs where scenes with KR mirror the behaviors his parents (like the Solo Slide). But I think that as Ben, we really see him channel his parents.

This is the most obvious one to me:

Han in TFA at Maz's castle/Ben arriving on Exegol (some kind person already GIFed it for me)

That's very deliberate given that these are both JJ's films.

Now this may not be as intentional as I think, but it's obvious to me. Leia training with her brother /Ben answering the knights' challenge

That casual, wide stance? I dunno. It feels like something he picked up from his mom like he picked up the other thing from his dad.

All this stuff just let you see and feel what was taken away by Snoke and Palpatine. He could have been a good man, strong fighter for the light, a Jedi like his mother before him and her father before her. It gives you that sharp contrast of what you lose when you choose the dark.

Then Ben and Rey both squaring up to fight Palpatine and then he straight up removes Ben from the fight completely. That's important. It makes sure there's no misunderstanding that this is Rey's fight. No one else can fight it for her or take it away from her. Kylo Ren said "that saber belongs to me" but the truth is Rey earned it. But I digress.

TROS builds up how strong Rey is in the Force throughout the movie, showing her ability to transfer life. Something it appears she learned on her own.

So when she falls. And it's made clear that she is dead. (Her body doesn't immediately disappear, however, and I think there's another discussion to be had on why that is!)

And Ben hesitates. You can see him wonder if he can do it.

He puts his hand on Rey and transfers far more than "a bit of life". Already drained by his and Rey's life-forces being used to revive Palpatine, it takes everything that is left in him. But he is also pulling Rey back from somewhere she hadn't yet pulled anyone with her own technique. Is Ben more powerful in the Force than she? (I don't think so, but I think in another life he could have been) I think Ben only knows all or nothing. It's part of how he got here in the first place. Perhaps he could have brought Rey back from the other side without using all his strength. Perhaps not. We'll never know.

Now I do not approve of the kiss. I don't even know how to begin discussing my feelings on it. But maybe it was necessary to include it just to pacify the Reylos (as if the redemption arc wasn't enough).

But the smile. The smile is so important. We've not once seen Kylo Ren happy anywhere in the series. I don't think anything he could ever achieve would have made him happy. But Ben, maybe even aware that he is about to meet his end, is so happy that she is alive, that he succeeded in saving her, that she defeated Palpatine, (that she is in his arms?) and he finally smiles and again we see the man that should have been. It's bittersweet. As relieved as I am to see Kylo Ren perish (because, like Darth Vader, after taking so many many lives, saving only one is not enough to live a free life) I am saddened to see Ben Solo die. There's probably a conversation to be had on how anyone can be tempted by evil. I dunno. I'm not a philosopher or anything.

Anyway. My sister, who is not really a Star Wars fan but who often understands storytelling far better than I, informed me that Leia was essentially possessing her son for the duration of the redemption arc. That's why her body doesn't disappear until Ben dies. That's why he fights like her, understands Rey's techniques better, can heal like that... I don't know if she's right, my sister. I don't think it's all Leia cuz I'll be damned if she kisses Rey on the mouth.

And then my bf informed me that Ben became a part of Rey when he disappeared into the Force. That's why his ghost didn't appear later. I don't know how I feel about that. I def don't know how Finn and Poe are going to feel when Rey tells them both this. I can't imagine wanting to smooch your gf after you find out that Hitler's wannabe poser grandson is possessing her. I mean.

Okay I've been writing so long I've lost what little coherency I started with. I'm so sorry.

But I just wanted to share my thoughts on all this with you guys. My main point is that if the redemption of Ben Solo had to be included in the film, I genuinely believe that it could not have been done better - from a storytelling standpoint AND with regards to the performance itself! - than they did for TROS. My hat is off to JJ and Adam, really.

(oh and his insistence on doing all his own stunts? Adorable.)

(I'm cool for discussion on the topic, but I have neither the time nor the energy to fight any Reylos about this and anyone trying to start drama gets the ol' Instablork.)

[emmanette]

it says 'drop me a number' but as a policeman's daughter I've never been good at following rules so if you could do 8, 40, 47, 60 (girl squad), 67 and 78 please!

Of course you can ask more than one question, silly! ;)

8. Whosehouse would you like to live in most?

I feel like we don’t really see that much of their houses? But are we talking just the house/apartments, without the people in it? I think the Bakkoush family’s apartment looks lovely - as does Eva’s house. Both would probably be much too big for me, but if I had unlimited funds I guess I wouldn’t turn either down? 

40. Whichcharacter is most like your best friend and why?

I don’t really have one best friend, but looking at my closest friends a couple are a bit like Vilde in that they can be quite naive and a bit “shallow” about certain things but deep down they’re very kind and caring. The others are probably more like Noora, also kind and caring but more aware of different issues etc.

47. Whatromantic moment made you cringe?

My first thought was something Noora/William related, and while that’s probably true I realized that the actual answer should be Vilde meowing for Magnus before they kiss at the kosegruppa Christmas party.

60. What isyour favourite friendship in the squad? (girl squad)

Aaah, it’s always impossible for me to choose between friendships on this show because I truly do love them all so much. But one friendship I rarely talk about is probably Vilde and Chris, because we don’t see that much of their friendship on the show, but it’s obviously there and it’s important to both of them. I’m not sure it’s my favourite (but I would say that regardless of which friendship I picked) but let’s go with it for now. 

67. Whowould you want to share rooms with?

I feel like I would get along with Isak quite well if we were roomates? For a limited time, anyway. Like we could both just mind our own business without it ending up awkward?

78. What isyour most favorite gifset?

Oh, this is another impossible question because there are so many out there and most of them are incredily lovely. So to narrow it down a little, allow me to be a bit narcissistic and choose between my own gif sets. Not that that really makes it easier she says, sounding even more narcissistic. It’s just that I put quite a lot of thought and work into every gif-set I make, so they’re all a bit special and meaningful to me one way or another - looking back through them will bring back certain memories etc.

However, I will say that I’m quite pleased with my “artsy” character gif-sets, which happened quite accidentally as a result of me being sick of making the “same old” gifs over and over again. So I just played around and ended up with a style that I later adapted to fit different characters. You can find them all here: Isak & Even - Sana - Eva - Noora - Vilde - Chris Also, my floral character gif-sets which grew more popular than I ever could have imagined. Find those here: Girl squad - Boy squad - Girl squad and boy squad - Briskeby squad - Eskild/Linn/Christoffer/William 

I’m also quite proud of my “cloud” character gif-sets, because they turned out the most like what I had envisioned before actually making them. You can find those here: Eva - Noora - Isak - Sana + bonus Isak & Even: colour - b/w: v1 - v2

Then I want to mention this one which is quite simple in many ways, but I spent a lot of time working on the colouring for that one and I’m still pleased with how that aspect of it turned out, so it was time well invested.

Finally, I want to mention this gif-set which never got a lot of attention, so maybe you all hated it, haha. However, I’m quite fond of it. It’s another quite simplistic one but I was testing out some new effects (the most noticable one is probably the text). It’s also a scene I haven’t gifed as much as many other scenes and I remember having had that song stuck in my head for a while before I made this and I figured the lyrics are really cute and would go well with that scene.

Yikes, that ended up a lot longer than I expected. I’m just going to stop talking about myself now!
