#which hey it’s an improvement

I don’t know if this makes anyone feel all that much better. But for the most part it’s more apathy than outright hatred for most Trump voters. Yes the loudest are cruelly hateful but a lot of Trump voters just pick and choose what they want to believe about Trump will do and are generally just not well informed. It doesn’t it excuse it but it helps me understand some of the people in my life better.

Tove's Notes on Sniff

Voice: unprovoked giggles and cow-like mooing intended to express either appreciation or contempt. When frightened, his voice can be shrill.

Unfortunately there is nothing particularly attractive about Sniff's personality, but it will probably improve with time. So far his greatest interest is himself, though he also loves possessing objects. He can easily develop both fear and affection. I would say he is somewhere in his teens.

doodle break from assignments- learning how to draw them better/more stylized! :) Love these depressing machines

I noticed your hair seemed to be shorter, if it brings you comfort-- cutting hair mostly represents an end to a chapter, cutting bad memories or simply change, so hang in there! :)

Only until summer break I fixed to cut the rest completely. I felt more than comfortable and dyed it with my favorite color! And you are completely right about those analogies, because since then - I've been back on track to improving and putting myself out of my comfort zone.

✨Gif Coloring✨

Hello everyone! After having a conversation with the lovely @bizarrelittlemew​, and being inspired by her immaculate Gif-Coloring Post, I decided to follow suit with some examples of my own. I make this post to stand in solidarity with her, as well as all our fellow gif-makers, and to show that gif-making is in fact a very time-consuming process! It’s not as simple as feeding frames into a program and *poof*, you’re done. There are in fact numerous, numerous, numerous steps that go into beautifying footage for your viewing pleasure!

The “raw” footage is on the left (in quotations because it is still trimmed down, and the frame rate has been edited, but the original lighting/coloring remains), and my edited versions are on the right.

As you can see, quite a bit different lol! My process usually involves picking the scene, shortening said scene in my video editing program to the desired amount of frames, removing frame interpolation, cropping it down to the proper size, removing any fun little frame artifacts, playing around with the desired frame rate, before beginning to manipulate the lighting, levels, contrast, and colors. Then, I will often have to sharpen and blur to my liking, which is a whole process on its own, before fist-fighting Photoshop’s memory issues l m a o.

And even all of that does not account for what others may do, such as overlaying gifs within gifs, creating word art, working with geometric shapes, etc etc!

It’s a process, and it’s a form of art. And just as you wouldn’t re-post someone’s fanfic, someone’s video, or someone’s music, please don’t re-post gifs without credit! Reblog from the source, use the add gif function, or include the artist’s @ if needed be! It’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s appreciated more than you know.

Support your artists, and we’ll be so happy to continue creating for you! <3

weirdos on Twitter loooove to assume that for any given localization job that the original Japanese is INHERENTLY better, as if one of the most common goals in localization isn't 'turn dogwater writing into something interesting'

I know how it sounds at first, but I really gotta feel bad for the boys that sacrificed edwin; I mean even the term “sacrificed edwin” paints them in a more sinister light than they really deserve– considering that wasn’t really, actually their intention.

they were bullies, they were homophobic (and/or were self loathing gay boys themselves taking it out on edwin, or were equally likely peer pressured into acting a certain way), they planned something stupid and mean to do to an innocent, anxious boy with the goal of scaring the shit out of him, all because he was effeminate and an easy target. but they didn’t know or expect any of the ritual stuff to be real. they were all laughing and joking during the ritual because it was just that to them– a joke. a cruel joke, but a joke.

teenagers can be mean and stupid and they usually regret it as adults and grow out of it / grow from it. they were stifled the chance to grow out of it, at least while alive. none of those boys deserved to be instakilled and sent to hell; they’re really not that much less deserving than edwin himself. they were all just kids, after all.

you know, i always find it really funny when dudebros complain about syndicate and odyssey being too "jokey" or not "taking its characters seriously" or whatever…

like, did y'all collectively sleep through "it's-a me, mario!", "i meant besides vaginas", ezio inventing the latte, bartolomeo's... just... *gestures vaguely* entire character, etc?

like, it's fine to have preferences of course, i myself prefer a more serious and grounded tone, but these are usually the same people who tout the ezio trilogy as "peak assassin's creed", call ac1 a glorified tech demo and hate on connor for being "too serious and boring", like? make it make sense!

Trying to decide if vegetarianism is cheaper is hard bc like. Probably it is. But that depends on if i get equivalent energy from a dollar's worth of vegetarian food as i do from a dollar's worth of meat. If it ends up that i have to buy more to get enough energy then i'm still saving no money.
