Ghost gives you a bracelet with a skull charm for your birthday. This cute little woven bracelet with a tiny, clearly handmade charm on it. The gift is so thoughtful you almost cried on the spot. Ghost thought he did something wrong or that you didn't like it when he saw you tearing up.
When you asked him to put it on for you, he teared up a little. He's not really a man who gives gifts as he never had anyone to give them to, so seeing you love his gift made him so happy. He gladly put it on for you, tightening it around your wrist so that it'd never fall off.
He lifted your hand up and kissed your wrist through his mask just for good luck, getting a little flustered under his mask as he did so. He's a sweetheart under his gruff exterior.

The silent art of gif making
The gif above has 32 layers plus 6 that aren't shown because this is part of a larger edit. I wanted to share it to give everyone a glimpse of the art of gif making and how long it usually takes for me to make something like this. This one took me about an hour and a half but only because I couldn't get the shade of blue right.
I use Adobe Photoshop 2021 and my computer doesn't have a large memory space (I don't know what to call it) so usually most of psds get deleted because I'm too lazy to get a hard drive. It doesn't really bother me that much because I like the art so when it's done, it's done. Off to somewhere else it goes.
Here are the layers:
Tumblr media
Everything is neat and organized in folders because I like it that way. I prefer to edit it in timeline but others edit each frame. There's a layer not shown (Layer 4 is not visible) and it's the vector art. Here it is:
Tumblr media
Now it is visible. I don't plan to make this a tutorial, but if you're interested I'd love to share a few tricks about it. I'm pretty new to the colors in gifmaking but the rest is simple to understand. Here, I just want to show how much work it takes to make it.
Tumblr media
I opened Group 2 and here's the base gif. I already sharpened and sized it correctly but that's about it. Let's open the base coloring next.
Tumblr media
Yay! Now it looks pretty! The edits are in Portuguese but it doesn't matter. There's a silent art of adding layers depending on how you want the gif to look but you get used to it. The order matters and you can add multiple layers of the same thing (for eg. multiple layers of levels or curves or exposure).
Tumblr media
This was pretty much my first experiment with coloring so I don't know what I'm doing (this happens a lot with any art form but gifmaking exceeds in DIYing your way to the finished product) but I didn't want to mess up his hair, that's why the blue color is like that. Blue is easy to work with because there's little on the skin (different from red and yellow but that's color theory). I painted the layers like that and put it on screen, now let's correct how the rest looks.
Tumblr media
I was stuck trying to get the right teal shade of blue so yes, those are 10 layers of selective color mostly on cyan blue. We fixed his hair (yay!) we could've probably fixed the blue on his neck too but I was lazy. This is close to what I wanted so let's roll with that.
Tumblr media
BUT I wanted his freckles to show, so let's edit a little bit more. Now his hair is more vibrant and his skin has red tones, which accentuates the blues and his eyes (exactly what I wanted!). That lost Layer 2 was me trying to fix some shadows in the background but in the end, it didn't make such a difference.
Tumblr media
This was part of an edit, so let's add the graphics and also edit them so they're the right shade of blue and the correct size. A few gradient maps and a dozen font tests later, it appears to be done! Here it is:
Tumblr media
Please reblog gifsets on tumblr. We gifmakers really enjoy doing what we do (otherwise we wouldn't be here) but it takes so long, you wouldn't imagine. Tumblr is the main website used for gif making and honestly, we have nowhere to go but share our art here. This was only to show how long it takes but if you're new and want to get into the art of gif making, there are a lot of really cool resource blogs in here. And my ask box is always open! Sending gifmakers all my love.

It's the day before Thanksgiving, and it's 28⁰ this morning. I'm currently living in my grandparents' drafty old farmhouse, taking care of my mother, who suffers from dementia. I'm freezing, and my mental health is shit at the moment.
I don't post this for sympathy. I took on this responsibility because it was the right thing to do. I post this to say that if you know someone who is a full-time caregiver, check on them. Give them a call, or send a text, or hell, even drop by. See if they are doing okay or if they need anything. Ask if you can sit with their loved one for an hour or so if you're comfortable with that. If not, ask if you can run an errand for them, or just do something nice for them. Take them a bottle of their favorite wine or something. 🤷‍♀️
Just check on them.

E.SO and Danko not wanting to abandon Jeff despite the other teams trying their hardest to recruit them. And Jeff didn't talk or give his input during this entire debacle either bc he knew how talented and popular they were 😭
Tumblr media
E.SO in his interview: it's not possible [to separate from Jeff]. If Danko and I left for another team, then Jeff would be alone. Then how would he proceed from there? We didn't know either. So Danko and I were worried. We couldn't abandon him. I pulled Danko to the side and said, "no this won't do. Can we not choose and just be the three of us with Jeff [...]
I'm so glad they're taking care of him 🥺

Within an hour of eating my breakfast I am fighting back sleep again. It's as if I've been drugged with the strongest sleeping pills or am being put under general anaesthetic for surgery. "Count back from 10" but I can't even get to 9.
My eyes just want to close. Every time I blink, my eyelids want to stay shut. This is physically painful to fight. The body jerking. The straining. The force to fight myself into awake mode. It's not happening.
I'm gonna have to go back to bed. I wouldn't drive in this state. It's similar to being drunk. That drowsy, uncontrolled feeling you hold about yourself after one-too-many.
My shoulders are heavy, knees weak, vomit on my sweater already, mom's spaghetti, my whole body is simply aching. Is this dying? Where has my energy gone even after a night of sleep? Why does my brain have this relentless desire to simply rest & enter sleep mode?
When is this going to stop? Will it? I don't want to be here in this state.

So when your new therapist asked what you like to read, is there a proper way to say smutty Bucky Barnes fanfiction? You know without him trying to have you committed? Asking for a friend.

bro why is writing so damn hard, especially starting to write something 😭
im just sitting at an open doc of my laptop like “where tf do i start” or “how do i make the beginning good” and then next thing you know once you start youre overthinking if people will get tired of waiting if you take too long writing this or how it’ll turn out and you’re not even done typing the second sentence.
how do y’all do it 😭

Thank you @artsyunderstudy @martsonmars @you-remind-me-of-the-babe for the tags today, and everyone else who's been tagging me recently! It's gotten rather later than I wanted to be posting, but it's still Wednesday, so here we go.
I've been waffling back and forth on what to post for a truly silly amount of time, and I'm sick of it, so I'm just going to commit to a small bit. I think the hesitation is that this is from CORB, and I decided the other day that this fic needs to be in first person, which is...nervewracking for me. I've never been able to write in first person before, but it's happening! And it's a weird adjustment for me. In a good way. Anyway. Here.
For a second—a split second—I imagine it’s all an experiment. Just a bit of field research, and soon I’ll get the chance to write out my findings for posterity. In conclusion, vampires can be sustained on blood and madness alone. Sufficient sensory deprivation and starvation will induce hallucinations after one (to two to three to four) weeks, but do not prove fatal. “Oi!” the hallucination says, and I open my eyes, for all the good it does me. “I know you can hear me.” “That’s the problem,” I croak.
