#...probably overcomplicated

[swan2swan]

So, I started with ClipChamp. That's kind of a pain and I don't know how long-term I can keep things, but it's fairly intuitive.

I tried out OpenShot, but it lacks zoom functionality and has tremendous audio issues.

Went with Avidemux, but that one is just for trimming video files. Can't audio-layer. Still, that might have potential. I can hopefully use it to create a bunch of smaller clips for use. Maybe.

Giving KdenLive a try in a moment.

This would work on them.

Writing thing I am learning: it's okay to go with the "obvious" or "basic" plot development if that's the easiest track for the story you want to tell. It's probably a good idea even.

shadow bandee design i made awhile ago :D (jan 17th, 24)

i feel like mirror bandee would be very skilled without putting the effort in, getting where they are by power, instead of earning it through putting the work in. this would lead to them becoming over-confident and become the cause their biggest weakness. a friend pointed out this would mirror dedede in the beginning of the series too!

Dadmight Week Day 2: Homework

Just a little study session with some Dadmight help of course ✨

part of what makes this situation so dang hard is that I've only actually felt like, true conviction of the Holy Spirit one time in my life. what I grew up and spent my entire life, until last year, believing was conviction, was actually the intense guilt and anxiety that I've been living with for a month now. and like yeah, it's led me to repentance from sins, because it's horrible and sickening and exhausting to feel so guilty and anxious all the time. but I think that's more of a "I know or believe that I've done something wrong" than a "God is convicting me of something"

im FUCKED a whlie ago i made a sim for underfell mettaton and i didn't have any mods yet that would let me give him multiple pairs of eyes so i compromised by giving him sunglasses instead so i at least wouldn't see the Incorrectness

problem is, now that sim has slowly morphed into genuinely one of the cuntiest ones i have and even though he actually DOES have four eyes now i can't get myself to take the sunglasses back off. i might have to make it canon for whenever i finally actually draw out my version of him. how in the hell would i Ever draw four eyes under one pair of sunglasses and still make that look good or even just like mildly comprehensible

If you guys saw the untranslated chapter where Louise gains an adult form (without unification of course), do you guys think that eventually, everyone's gonna get adult-ified or whatever??

Like it doesn't even have to be through failed unification, or buffication like with Buff Louise?? John can just go look at someone else who receives an invitation (maybe Susanna idk), and just go like, "well, if I eat those things that they made Louise eat before locking them in that weird box, then the unification won't go through and if no one finds out I ate that weird coffee or whatever then they won't make me unify instead, right???" And just wake up the next day with a huge growth spurt.

This could probably work with both the boys, but what about Kate??? We don't really know how her age works as half-shadow half-human thingey, but it could be that eventually her original age (like sixty ig) starts catching up to her but she finds a way to stall it before she turns into a grandma, likely by becoming a full shadow and abandoning her human half so she could age the same as the rest of them, with like five chapters of pure angst.

It could be a nice storyline for Kate finally accepting her shadow half (although she might, of course, become human again in the main story), and realise she'll always be accepted by the gang no matter if shes a shadow, human or something else.

And tbh, I definitely don't see them aging up John without aging up Kate, and I kinda feel like if Louise is aged up, that means the others would be as well.

The only problem is Patrick, since you can't really age up Emilyko with him as well, and even if you did, that'd require aging up Shaun too cause of the love triangle. Though I think it'd be funny for him to be the only tiny person at the table when they do another Gathering of Roses meeting.

John makes fun of him for his height, and he explodes like a tiny chihuahuas compared to the rest of them german shepherds (or some other big dog). Ricky has to calm him down while everyone elss is hiding a small guilty laugh behins their hands (other than John whos just laughing in Patricks face).

Patrick is very disappointed years later when he finally ages up to their physical ages when Ricky turns like eighteen or twenty, and no one else cares thats he finally looks as old as the rest of them now. He gets like one passing comment from Louise and thats it.

Because it's May the Fourth I may as well mention that I am frequently thinking about the fact that Owen Carvour deserves to have a lightsaber.

Hornblower: Math Dad Edition, please!

Oh boy, this one is some version of Hornblower Math Professor Modern AU which is a very extended universe that I like to go to in my head when I start getting too horrible and depressing with the Hornblower fics, because I have decided that while Hornblower may be possibly more miserable as a Math Academic he is at least married to Bush which makes some things better. This particular episode is him generally having a nice day with Bush and Richard but also, because he is Hornblower, having a breakdown because his (4-year-old) son doesn't want to start learning topology and how will he set him up for the possibility of a career in math academia if he doesn't start at 4 years old (he doesn't even want him to go into math academia, he's just worried that if he does then he will forever resent Hornblower for not setting him on the path to win the Fields Medal at the age of 20, thereby protecting him from a mid-level position teaching calculus at a random university in Kent). This of course is all completely ridiculous but what Hornblower brainmonologue is not...Needless to say, it does all work out in the end, and is all-around a general silly little story that is mostly fluff.

I haven't posted a multi-chapter fic since 2003, and I'm making this way too difficult for myself, so, a poll!

I've written a fic that details Anders' multiple escape attempts from the Circle, throughout his life. It's an escape per chapter (it was all meant to be in one one-shot, but it ran away (HAH) from me), and every chapter is written. It will be on AO3 once I've edited it.

So, how the hell should I post it? Please help.

got stressed now i am watching (normal) countdown with pencil in hand. i am Prepared. i hope i know all the letters And numbers that show up. fingers crossed

[squaduck]

Huh.

Thanks to all the strangers who liked a single post, and thanks to all the weirdos who stuck around.

But also, what? I pretty much do nothing.

I occasionally reblog stuff, sure, but not a whole lot.

Sorry for the long tags. I'm just going slightly insane and didn't want to make a mile long post. (Also, did anyone know that there's a tag limit??? It's 30 tags apparently.) (also also, because tmi, im disabling reblogs.)

Someone ordered our new crust type, since we started selling it today, and since nobody had made one beforehand, I had to choose either stretch a new pizza, or work with what I had

Regardless of my choice, it takes about 8-10 minutes regardless, and leads to a mental breakdown and the ugliest pizza I have ever made because the higher ups did NOT think this crust type through AT ALL.

Got carried away putting together this concept for La'zaar...
