Microdosing on court intrigue by being really cagey about what I do in my spare time for no good reason

He sort of admits himself that his motives are... spurious. He- he does things because he enjoys them. It's like he's not— he's not really a person.

also yknow what buffy/willow is so real too. what if we reflected each other but only when we were at our very worst. what if we were best friends who slowly came to resent each other but the love was still there. what if i didn’t let you in because you wouldn’t understand anyway. what if i tore you out of heaven so i could have you again

Everyone keeps talking about "the writer's barely disguised fetish". But I still haven't heard about "the writer's barely disguised huge ass pet peeve"

"He's really let himself go" is the hottest thing you could possibly say about a man

I actually do feel like the "unemployed friend on a Tuesday" meme actually helps de-stigmatize unemployment because it frequently affirms that when you don't have a job you're more likely to be getting up to some weird shit rather than just lazing around. But I also feel like the unemployed friend is frequently up to some random shit because there's a whole pile of miscellaneous life tasks that full-time employment keeps people from. The unemployed friend is helping their cousin move, or babysitting, or checking in with a neighbor with mobility issues. The unemployed friend is a walking thesis on the inflexibility of our current labor landscape and just how much work exists outside of work.

That specific sickly, weird, mottled green color that appears when two mirrors are reflecting each other into infinity is so fucking beautiful… I love you weird nasty green of the aether….

recently a few people have asked how i sharpen my gifs and so i thought i’d put together a little SHARPENING TUTORIAL for anyone who’s interested…

the first thing i’d say is to make sure you’re using the most hq images/screencaps/clips you can find. i know this advice gets thrown around a lot but for good reason! here’s a really good post with more info on where to find the best stuff to use. now on to the tutorial:

we’re using smart filters in this tutorial which means smart objects babyyy

group your layers if you haven’t already and convert the group into a smart object (filter > convert for smart filters)

now duplicate your smart object so you have two identical layers

apply a smart sharpen filter to the bottom layer (filter > sharpen > smart sharpen)

my standard settings:

amount: 500%

radius: 0.2 - 0.5 px (see what looks best!)

remove: lens blur

“more accurate” selected

good work! now if that’s looking a little extreme don’t worry, we’re not done!

apply a gaussian blur filter to your top layer (filter > blur > gaussian blur)

set the slider to 1.0 pixels

finally set the opacity of your blur layer to 25%

and that is it! your layers should now look a little like this:

the lovely thing about this is that you can basically keep your filter settings the same for whatever you’re working on and simply play with the opacity of that blur layer should you want to increase/decrease the sharpness!

fingers crossed this all makes sense. if anything wasn’t clear or you have further questions don’t be afraid to ask. happy giffing!!
