Hey I love ur amvs!! I was wondering if you had advice for someone that's interested in making their own? I'm not sure what the best programs are for editing or getting clips. Ty! :)

this is so flattering thank you so much!!!!! I LOVE making amvs…… favourite thing in the world to do so this is gonna be probably longer than you wanted…..

I’ve bounced around just about everything in the last couple years so I can give you a few different ideas!!

For clip sourcing:

initially, I used episodes that I had downloaded as supernatural was airing so the quality was iffy and there were logos on a lot of them… THEN I went the screen recording route (for when I was on my phone, I’ve never tried this on desktop but I know this works well for others!!) but I found that the quality still bugged me AND I ended up with nearly 2000 supernatural clips on my phone…… which was a nightmare to sort through… NOW I use this which is very fabulous and easy to use… you can select which eps to download if you don’t need all of them!! (and no vpn needed)

For editing:

I’ve used a lot of different programmes til I found one that worked well for me so definitely shop around…. youtube tutorials are your friend…. when I started, I was using sony vegas pro…. which worked fine even though my laptop was the first one ever made… but I didn’t want to pay for it and it got blocked on my laptop forever and windows would notttt let me get it back…….. SO, as I mentioned, for a while I was editing on my phone which I would personally nottt recommend for full length amvs… smaller edits would be completely fine!! I used splice which was very basic but it got the job done!! actually. looking through my videos- everything from mr perfectly fine to dean movies was made on my phone which is about 30 videos- so this works!! it’s just much more difficult and harder to polish up…. I personally make amvs much quicker and cleaner on my laptop.. and noticed a big big difference in my own quality since I switched….. NOW I use capcut since it’s free and my laptop can run it without any issues. I’m genuinely very impressed with it as a free software- lots of really good tools and effects, I find it so easy to alter colours and subtitle as well!! which I struggled with on other platforms!! very user friendly too!!! would be very beginner friendly!!

fun stuff :)

PLANNING is my absolute favourite part of making an amv…… normally I hear a song and can very easily picture shot by shot how I would amv it - once I’ve got the song and general theme I’m going for- I normally print out the lyrics and annotate them - jotting down timings, voiceovers, season, arcs and clips.. I can sometimes skip this if it’s just a simple video but if it’s anything complicated I HAVE to write it down. I also find it’s easier to make a video have a ‘point’ if I do this??? idk.. I think it helps but idk if this is something everybody does :)

there’s the spn transcript searcher which is very useful as well if there’s a line you’re looking for but can’t remember where it’s from!!

and of course homeofthenutty which is great for thumbnail stuff!!

editing things:

honestly… I don’t think there’s a wrong way to do this if you’ve got a really fabulous idea….. timings are the trickiest thing to get the hang of- I do dashes on my printed plan to kind of show where I need cuts and if it’s fast cuts I write down how long each clip should be so it looks cleaner. I find that my videos don’t really look finished until they’re subtitled either- so that always helps!! everybody kind of does that differently so definitely play around until you find a style you like!!

I wouldn’t worry too much about colouring when you’re just starting out- sometimes I find that filters can be distracting but I know others who swear by them so that’s just personal preference!! I really just tweak certain clips to make them less saturated or green-looking….

for posting:

I really recommend posting simultaneously on tumblr and youtube!! I have videos with basically no notes on tumblr but did really well on yt and vice versa!! the yt algorithm can be funny- I find that as long as it has a custom thumbnail and a few comments it does alright!! on tumblr- I always link the yt video since the tumblr player doesn’t always work for everybody…. also don’t be afraid to use taglists!!! I’m sure your mutuals would love to be tagged and please definitely tag me in anything you make!!! genuinely owe so much to my mutuals for their support 🫶🫶 and also don’t be afraid to self-reblog!! chronological dashboard means people WILL miss things if they aren’t online!!!

but genuinely the most important thing is to have fun…… I seriously love amvs…. I think they’re the best thing in the world and spend probably at least half an hour minimum a day watching amvs…….. and we need more of them!!!!! so thank you!!! and please please tag me when you make one!!! and feel free to dm me if you need anything at all!!! like all technical aspects aside… an amv made with so much love and to a fabulous song is a gift to the world…… 🫶🫶

Title: Caesar Shift WC: 900 Episode: Rise (4 x 01)

He wonders what secret decoder rings go for these days. He wonders what cereal box tops he should have been collecting and how likely it is there’s some kind of buy one, get one offer he can send away for. He wonders if anyone still ships things cash on delivery. These are the burning questions he has because he sure could use a secret decoder ring. He could use two of them.

It’s not really new a gap in the wardrobe, though it’s news that there are any gaps in her wardrobe, at least. He looks back on the last three years and it’s a simple task to pick out all the moments between them that might have gone so differently if the two of them had had a pair of wearable, his-and-hers Alberti disks.

The past is the past, though. That, interestingly enough, is a two-way message that’s coming in loud and clear. Three months are gone. She said she’d call. She didn’t, and he’s still mad. They lay all those cards on the table, and in the same frustrated motion, they sweep it clear. The past is the past, and there are new rules of engagement. That’s why they could use a pair of decoder rings, to sort out what that actually means—to get a grip on what means what in this brave new world.

Brave is one word for it—for what he seems to be now. Reckless is another. Stupid . . . Well, he could go on, but he’s not entirely sure what any given word for it might mean right now. So he plays against type. He vaults right over the word for whatever it is he seems to be now and looks at his actions.

He’s done with backing down, chickening out, hiding behind the idea that he’s respecting her boundaries, going at her pace, following her lead. Whatever a spin of the concentric rings might call it, he’s done with it. He learned his lesson at her hospital bedside, and he’ll never get the bitter taste of that unasked question off the tip of his tongue.

You don’t remember . . .

But he’s done with that. Whether it’s anger or the decades he’s aged over these last three months—the decades he aged watching her die in that ambulance—he is simply done ceding ground. Whatever the secret decoder ring might have to say about the source of his newfound whatever, satisfaction is the word that emerges from the cipher when her face goes blank with surprise when he cracks open the new rulebook for her.

He asks about Josh and just keeps asking. He confronts her about freezing up on the job, about the way she’s teetering on the edge of the rabbit hole. He tells her—in not-very-sophisticated code—to cut the crap with the magical thinking about being okay, having leads in her mother’s case, just needing time. He debuts the new Richard Castle from God Knows Where, and there’s a next-level thrill in the challenge accepted narrowing of her eyes.

He doesn’t have words for the shift in her any more than he has them for the sea change in himself. She . . . talks. It’s halting at first, and it hurts. Even when the glare of his own anger is most blinding, God, he can see how it hurts, and still she does it.

He hasn’t kept count of the words. He almost wishes he had. He almost wishes that his brain, for once, wouldn’t inexorably edit on the fly, because he’s absolutely certain that the number of words she speaks in a row have set some kind of record, and still he’d like the exact count.

But more than that—more than even a word count to crow over—he’d like a secret decoder ring. Because she says she really, really liked Josh, but it wasn’t enough, and that last part is too familiar to be a coincidence, isn’t it? It’s the mystery phrase from that he’s turned inside out and upside down in his mind since the night she’d told him they were over.

I have been running around with the school's funniest kid, and it's not enough.

It means—it has to mean—that she’s looking for enough, doesn’t it? It has to be a gauntlet thrown. Or is it his version of magical thinking to believe that beneath the surface, she’s telling him that she is in the market for enough, or she will be once she addresses every damned thing he told her was going on with her that very same night. Crawled inside her mother’s murder and didn’t come out? Check. Serial hiding in nowhere relationships? Checkity check.

He definitely wants a secret decoder ring to confirm that she’s just more or less said he was right about everything. She’s just more or less called him out for being chicken shit when she demanded an answer from him—What about you, Rick?

So here they are, he a man of action, she a woman of not-so-few words. It’s a flip flop, a topsy turvy, a Freaky Friday—Jodie Foster vintage, thank you very much. There’s a word for what this is, for what they are, for what they’ll be in times to come. There’s a word for it, but he needs a secret decoder ring to figure out what it is.

A/N: I feel like Brain Poneh has already gone to this place, but I can't remember when/where. Probably because I am awash in a sea of morphouslessness.

Hi, sorry to bother you and it's okay if you don't answer, because I have no idea if they are appropriate questions for this blog! but I was wondering two things: one is if there still exist blogs that offer unedited base icons for people to take and edit and share (in case one can't take the caps but wants to share icons with a psd etc?) and the other is: is there a specific movie/tvshow source people use to get caps so they can gif hq scenes? or does everybody torrents them? thank you!

Hi there! You’re not bothering at all. Well, like... we answer probably anything related to tumblr and stuff we know or can search for you around here

I used to see a lot of people saying on their posts if you could or not edit their icons, for gifs mostly doesn’t allow that. But a specific blog for this thing, I’m not sure if I have seen. 

There are places you can get the screens and make the icons like you want, yes!

move-screencaps, for movies and their last update was last year, but have a lot of stuff here

homeofthenutty, tv shows and movies and it’s up to date

screencapped, tvshows and movies, but this one they only give you zip folders of the episodes/movie, so you can’t really choose one screen, you get the whole pack. but it’s really good too and hq

Now, a place where you can get screens to make gifs, I don’t know, only the old taking screens from a specific program that make that, and you need to have downloaded the movie/tvshow

[diminuel]

I’m still bad at photo manipulation, but here’s a very self-indulgent edit for all my sad and hurt!Cas needs~ ♥

Ok, I’m gonna say this you hatin’ mob SPN13X09 was a gem and fuck offfff into the sunset you’all I’m pissed at all that negativity STOP

So I’m gonna list EVERY FUCKIN’ POSITIVE bit in this ep, and it’s gonna be loooooooooong and spoooooilery and caaaaaaps. Some are thatnX to the HOMEOFTHENUTTY. 

NOW lets go.

1.

I ADORED THE ARTIST WHO IS ALSO SEER AND A DREAM-WALKER. Too bad he dies :(

2.

LANDSCAPE.

Like WHOAA

just look at this i want to eat this up i want to cuddle this ominous scenery gulp it up like fresh water on a hot day are U KIDDIN’ ME THIS IS ARSFKMNGVKJJJX

also it’s a reversed cross if you really wanna loot at it that way. home on one side, nowhere on the other, a road straight to hell, a “ah-ah I’mmaa off that road right here stopstop oops here is a bail-out road” option on the left of it, and they are all on the main highway like yup that’s what I’ve signed for back in ‘05

3.

DEAN FINDING THE MAIN FAT CLUE IN SOME WEIRD WAY

coz that’s what Dean does, you know? Like he is attracted to shit like that

4.

DADS JOURNAL IS STILL ALIVE AND KICKIN’

coz you know, John had 20+ years over his sons of research and experience, we are “only” on the 13th season you’all 

5.

THAT GIANT

angel  

WING

Is that a seagull? An eagle? DEATH? Bats? Angels? Crows? The fuck is this? This is awesome.

6.

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN PURE INNOCENCE AND PURE EVIL

…lies Jack. Pun intended.

7.

NO THOUCHIN’

8.

AND THIS AMAZING SHOT OF DEAN’S MIND:

9. “THE DOOR IS A BIT KINKY”

…well the whole episode deals with breaking down doors or barging through doors or at least coming through a door in some way:  1. Jack enters Derek’s workshop invited. 2. Patience’s father standing at a door as the talk: twice, at her room, and later on, as she leaves the house. 3.  Jack breaking the door of the rehab center Kaia is institutionalized in. 4. The sunken boat entrances: as out intrepid heroes go in, and later the angels. 5. The door the the other world itself. 6. Jody opens the door to welcome Patience as she walks towards her new adventure and purpose in life. Beautiful.

10. “You go now, you choose this life, you don’t come back”.

And you know what? This is awesome.

First thing, he doesn’t cast her out, this is a father telling his daughter that there is no coming back from this choice of hers to normality. He is not angry, not disappointed. He is worried. And last but not least - she is going towards the SUPERNATURAL, and the unknown, to do GOOD IN THIS WORLD. She is doing an altruistic move, not a selfish one like Sam (nothing against self-care here, just facts). THESE ALL OR OPPOSITES TO WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN JOHN AND SAM.  They are showing us HOW TO PARENT RIGHT.  As opposed to suffocating your child within your own norms (Sam), to a child making his own choice, and as to say, “spreading her wings”.  In no way this is a callous, cheap call-back. This is, in my opinion, a very well done analogy, showing a different way with words. A similar situation, worlds apart. Pun intended.

Also, the thematic of POWERS CAN BE USED FOR GOOD EVEN IF YOU ARE THE SON OF SATAN is so refreshing, and fuckin’ mature I’m SO PROUD OF MY HEROES, SOSOSO MUCH. I’m so proud of SHOW for getting tot his point!

11. “And he is The Son of Satan?”. “I am. Yes”.

THIS.

12. “Get in the car”.

That moment when Dean draws a loaded gun at Kaia to threaten her into cooperation: EVIL. And that’s the point. In my opinion, he just got so hard slapped in the face by reality, about Mary still being alive, and him NOT going after her (as opposed to when dad gone missing), that he couldn’t really see much difference between right and wrong. OR, he was well conscious of himself, knows he is damn frightening as he is, and with a gun - any puny human other than Sam would piss himself. So he uses this in his advantage. Would shoot a foot though, if he really had too. OR BOTH, which is very much a Dean thing.

13. The scenery strikes back again!

Apparently this is a real location (don’t have the source but it is). Plus, THE TUNE!

14.

The intriguing “Larsen Bros” sign that is shown too clearly to be a coincidence. Plus, iconic street lamp.

Guess is, this is a Chekhov’s Gun, and that’s how Patience will later find them. Plus, Google gives me this:

The Larsen Bros - Don’t Fear The Reaper (cover)

Like, why not. This is so fuckin’ weird, like the vid was uploaded for the ep, cut, like in 2016??? And there are sings pointing “OUT” behind the two man band singing???? HUH??? I dunno. No one has commented. YET. We can make some guys really weird out if we go collectively and put some comments on there about The Son Of Satan and Multiple Dimensions. Who’s with me…?

15. DANGEROUS G(O)ODS, DO NOT GET T(O)o CLOSE

And without Sam everyone would’ve been a toast by now.

16. A REMINDER: ANGELS ARE SCARY AF

17. THE OTHER WORLDS:

Are you shitting me??? This is so REAL. Look, some of them aren’t even WORLDS yet. Or already. Some are desert. Some are black hole. Awesome shit. And I think, at this point, our heroes are so legendary, they’ve been through so much, they’ve achieved the plot-lines of parallel realities. Who amazing is that? From unicorn and werewolf monstrosities and “mundane” scares and horrors, through the apocalyptic and the otherworldly, to THIS.

18. (A) MARY TRAPPED BEHIND A DILAPIDATED JESUS, ON OF GOD.

With an “eye” of Sauron  on the right…

The many halos of Mary, of light and thorns and clasping metal:

19. Bringing the house down with a scream:

You know how the most Narnia-like stuff is always stuck in some weird place, like ON A HALF SUNKEN BOAT IN FUCKIN’ DAKOTA. THIS RIGHT HERE.

20. Molten angel blade and dead angel wings imprints:

21. A literal DOOR:

22. Larsen Bros Shipyard sign again, but without the “closed” sticker (coz it’s opened now huh):

23.

And here we have  THE SON OF SATAN BEHOLDING in sheer awe A DANGLING MARY BEHIND CHRIST, and that’s how you reconstruct a 2000+ y/o belief system and make angels cry, Beautiful.

24.

And, the GIANT FOOTPRINT.

The Great Meta Scavenger Hunt - Round 7: The SECOND Most Important Object In The Universe

*insertsmarttitlehere*

The challenge:

Over the years we’ve seen many different items - weapons, jewellery, clothing, photos, whatever brand of hair product Dean uses - which have a huge significance to the Supernatural universe, around which the story seems to revolve or have played a key part in changing the course of a storyline… It hardly seems fair that Baby gets all the attention just because she’s shiny.

After the Impala, what object is the second most important out there in the supernatural universe? Explain in detail why your choice deserves the title.

 (x)

So, I made a list:

 (all images by courtesy of homeofthenutty)

The Men of Letters Bunker

Baby of course is the Winchester’s home. That is why she is so important, but also why her story is so sad. Because after all a car shouldn’t be a home, no matter how much you romanticise it. If Baby is the symbol for the Kripke era, then the bunker becomes the symbol for the Carver era. If Kripke glorified Sam and Dean’s unbreakable bond, then it was up to Carver to show us how unhealthy their relationship can be and finally give two grown men their own rooms and a place they can return to. A place where Dean can be nesting, where they can bring in their extended family, a home. Apart from that an underground bunker full of lore and magical artefacts, warded against almost everything, is kinda super cool. I wonder if they got that ping pong table yet.

Mystical powers: 9/10 (full of cool stuff, can’t be tracked, magical wi-fi)

Personal significance: 9/10

Total: 18/20

The Samulet

The single most important jewellery in the world (until Dean and Cas get married).  Started as an object of personal significance (representing the brotherly bond between Sam and Dean), became then an object of great mystical power (glows in the presence of God) and later a symbol of trust, faith and betrayal (Dean trusted Cas with his amulet, Cas lost his faith after he couldn’t find God with it and Dean felt betrayed by Sam after the events of 5x16 which led him to throw it away). In a way it lost its personal value to Dean, as he tells Sam in 10x05 he no longer needs a symbol to remind him how he feels about his brother. Its mystical powers became 200 times more after Chuck used it in 11x20 to tell Sam and Dean that God is in da house (and revealed that he had turned it off the whole time). After Chuck’s departure to spend some quality time with his sister though it has lost its meaning to the story again.

Mystical powers: 10/10 (except when it’s turned off)

Personal significance: 6/10

Total: 16/20

Weapons

The Colt

Or the gun that was too good to be true. You could say the deus ex machina of weapons. So of course the show needed to find some limitations to the gun that could kill everything. First we only had five bullets left, but after we find out how to make new ones (thanks Ruby) the Colt was stolen and traded. With the devil on the loose the Colt made a comeback, only to have it revealed that the Colt can kill everything except five things and apparently archangels are one of them.

As cool as the concept sounded the show needed to find new ways why the Colt wasn’t the solution to everything, and ultimately got rid of it in season 5 .*

(*Which kinda reminds me of a certain angel, who was simply to powerful, so the show needed to find ways why he couldn’t help the Winchesters every time by either depowering him or giving him stupid quests. Just saying.)

Mystical powers: 8/10

Personal significance: 4/10 (it killed Yellow Eyes after all)

Total: 12/20

Ruby’s knife

Again, sounded way cooler on paper. In hindsight it feels like the show needed to introduce a quicker way to get rid of demons than using exorcisms every time, after they became a much bigger part of the story in season 3. It leads of course to the moral dilemma that they always kill the human possessed as well, and hardly use exorcism anymore (except if it is the mother of your potential son). One of Sam’s reason to justify his demon blood drinking in season 4 was to further develop his ability to exorcise demons with his mind, and therefore save the human. Of course it was the beginning to his path to the dark side, so we got back to the knife. At least it looks pretty.

Mystical powers: 6/10 (hey, it can only kill demons, not almost everything)

Personal significance: 1/10 (it is Sam’s daily reminder of Ruby)

Total: 7/20

Angel blades

As we learned in 12x10 every angel has apparently their own blade and angels can tell them apart. It is also the very thing that marked Asa Fox as legit, according to Dean. The only weapon that can kill angels too (unless you are an archangel or God/God’s sister and can simply make them explode). We still haven’t figured out where exactly angels hide these things or if they materialize out of thin air each time they need one. Perfect weapon for a twirl and to show off.

Mystical powers: 7/10

Personal significance: 10/10 (if you are an angel)

Total: 17/20

Dean’s gun

Or the most beautiful gun I have ever seen. In dire need of a backstory: where did he got it from? Does it have a personal value to him? Or does he just like the way it looks? (Also, Lady Toni appears to have a similar gun, as spotted in 11x23.)

Mystical Powers: 0/10

Personal significance: 5/10 (Basically, we just don’t know)

Total: 5/20

Honourable mentions: the grenade launcher

Cas’s trenchcoat

Symbol of Cas’s angelhood (the few times he didn’t wear it he was almost always human). Symbol of Cas’s otherness (angels have a thing for suits in general, it is the coat that sets Cas apart). Symbol of Destiel – season 7. Symbol of Cas accidently cosplaying Constantine. You got it.

Mystical powers: 4/10 (I bet there is some angel magic woven into it, because the thing seems to repair/clean itself)

Personal Significance: 10/10

Total: 14/20

Honourable mentions: Sam’s purple dog shirt, Dean’s leather jacket (version 1), all that plaid

Cas’s pimpmobile

After losing his wings it allows Cas to still travel. It is also one of the few things that truly belong to Cas alone (the coat was technically Jimmy’s). And no matter what Sam says, it is not crappy.

Mystical powers: 0/10

Personal significance: 10/10

Total: 10/20

Honourable mentions: Mary’s sweet ride in 12x06

John’s journal

These days it is only brought back when deceased family members show up (Henry, Mary) and the Winchesters don’t have the heart to tell them what a horrible father John was. But it used to be the Winchesters number one source of research, even though I’m sure there was a better way to get all the (more accurate) information on the internet even back in 2005. The reason Sam almost got killed by vetalas back in 7x11.

Mystical powers: 0/10

Personal significance: 7/10

Total: 7/20

Photo of young Dean with Mary

Or the photo Dean seemed to carry around for decades before finally taking it out of his wallet and placing it on his nightstand in 8x14, symbolizing that Dean sees the bunker as his home. The same photo prevented Dean from killing Sam in 10x23. Apparently Dean made a bigger version of it and framed it, as seen in 11x22, where Amara holds up, realizing what Dean needs the most is his mother, and thus returns her to him by the end of 11x23. Hold by Dean in 12x02 as he tries to reconcile the image he had of his mother and the real person who just returned to his life. Seen by Mary herself in 12x09, helping her making the decision to help Alicia and Max with their hunt, as this is the legacy of her son. Bringer of many feels.

Mystical powers: 0/10

Personal significance: 10/10

Total: 10/20

Hellhound glasses

As cool as it is to be able to see hellhounds I only added them here because Sam and Dean looked super hot in them. Nuff said.

Mystical powers: 7/10

Personal significance: 0/10

Total: 7/20

Various typewriters

Marks you as the author of the story. Subtle way of showrunners to insert themselves in the show. Sometimes used to hide angel blades and as clever Fringe references.

Mystical powers: 0/10 (Winchesters have a tendency to not act according to the script)

Personal significance: 2/10

Total: 2/20

(Bonus: the non-existent bunker sofa. The moment they get it will be the object to make Destiel canon. Or say I have heard.

Mystical powers: 10/10

Personal significance: 10/10

Total: 20/20)

Hi Naomi! I was wondering your process or if there is an efficient way to find the right scene/expression/body language to use for a graphic. With Supernatural at 250 episodes now, I'm glad we have so much material to work with, but I don't know how best to find the pieces I need.

Hey anon!

Oh God, I feel this deep in my soul. I know exactly what you mean. It’s awesome to be able to have so much material at our disposal, but at the same time, it makes for a lot of work when deciding on what screencaps to use for graphics. Tbh, it’s probably the hardest and most time consuming part of the process. 

There’s no one way to go about it really, you kinda just have to figure out what works best for you. When I’m planning out my graphics, I like to have a source of inspiration first in order to figure out what type of screencap I’ll need. Like, do I want a broody, emotional Dean looking down? Do I want a worn, tired Cas looking up to the sky? Do I want Sam in a fight stance with his gun at the ready? I usually look through my collection of screencaps first to see if I already have something that I want to use. If I don’t, then I’ll usually google or search through tumblr the type of thing I’m looking for. So maybe I’m looking for a screencap of Dean crying, but I can’t remember an exact episode of when he’s doing that. So I’ll google search something like “dean winchester + crying” and I’ll go through the results to find a scene from an episode I’m looking for. If you dig deep enough, you can usually find caps or gifs or edits with the episode labeled. 

After I find the right episode, I then go to a screencap sight (like screencapped.net, homeofthenutty, or supernaturalfansoline) and pull my screencaps from there (or if it’s a more recent episode or there’s no perfect moment I’m satisfied with, I’ll screencap it myself). And as I’m searching for the right cap, I’ll usually stumble upon other caps that are totally irrelevant to the current graphic I’m making, but I save them anyway bc they could be of good use in the future. You kinda develop an eye for what caps are best for graphics over time. Even as I’m watching episodes, I’ll be like “ooohhh, that would be a good screencap to use in a graphic” or “omfg, that scene would make a great gifset.” It just sorta becomes second nature. 

So yeah, the process isn’t always as efficient as I’d like it to be unfortunately. It’s always good to have some patience when it comes to this lmao. And y’know, you can always ask your friends or go into a net chat if you find a gif or something somewhere and be like “yo does anybody know what episode this is from?” There’s always gonna be somebody that knows. I like to think I have a fairly descent memory when it comes to knowing the episodes, but that’s definitelyyyy not always true lol.

I hope me sorta sharing my thought process helps you out a little bit, at least! Don’t be afraid to ask others if you’re stuck and use the resources at your disposal :) xx
