I was tagged by@melodious-tear for this gifset thank youu!!~

Planning: what would make people care about Su She when his existence barely gets acknowledged at all apart from memetic hate? apparently the answer, as shown here and here, is FaceApp. I decided on the SuYao Jinlintai meeting because his face journey here is the best thing, from timid to No Thoughts Head Empty Only Lianfang-Zun in like 0.3 seconds. you can see his universe rearrange itself in real time. I need others to appreciate that as well ;w;

Programs/Apps/Tools: FaceApp, Clip Studio Paint Pro, this site to combine GIFs

Preparing: so, FaceApp. it does not have a function to do edits in bulk, or for videos, at least not where I could find it. okay, no problem, I said like a fool, I'll just put every frame through it individually. 105 frames in total, let's go. FaceApp also does not save edits in order, and there isn't a good way to see which images I did already, so I had to sort the correct sequence by hand after and sift out accidental duplicates, which. hm. hnnnnn-

Editing: FaceApp free version saves images in low quality with a watermark. okay, no problem, I said like a goddamn fool, I only need the face and hair so after removing noise and sharpening everything I'll just mask it and put the non-FaceApp frames below. That worked out fine for the first GIF; the head movements are minimal enough for me to get away with one mask for the whole animation folder. Laziness wins!

For the second GIF I had to mask each frame individually, roughly, with my mouse because my surface tablet couldn't handle the file for some reason.

rip my wrist.

worth it? who's to say :/

I wanted to keep this one close to the original in colour, just enhance it a bit. the layers I used are: - (correction layer) normal, Brightness/Contrast: 5/10, 100% opacity - overlay, solid colour #974B33, 15% opacity - (correction layer) normal Brightness/Contrast: 0/20, 100% opacity

Posting: the next day, to wait if I catch any errors after resting my eyes. I actually did make a biiig mistake, but since it would've been v tedious to fix.. *chucks this out there anyways*

Conclusion: I'm still fairly happy with how it turned out, and especially with the reactions and nice tags!!! :3 but also, wow this was. an embarrassing amount of effort and I'm sure there would've been an easier way to do it. if I ever get it in my head to do something like this again, please, someone, beat me with a stick.

ah, idk who to tag :x
