#Graphics Interchange Format

[lyselkatzhappynerding]

For me, it's GIF because it's Graphics Interchange Format 😆

The wiki article is fun to read.

OKAY TUMBLR. IT'S TIME TO SETTLE THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL.

Reblog this if you pronounce “.gif” as “GIF.”

NOT JIF,

GIF.

And here is the link for the opposite.

En loop como GIF : secuencia de imágenes consecutivas que se repiten en forma de bucle

[glorioustidalwavedefendor]

It's not jraphics after all is it?

It is graphics ...

dude god could come down from heaven with a million angels and tell me that gif is pronounced “jif” and i still wouldn’t fucking do it

[saltywinteradult]

do you pronounce grrm as ”germ” in your head or are you normal

[hubcollage]

I create collages of GIFs that were probably born for different purposes, to piece together an imaginary world of my own. What I call this is ‘digital upcycling’.

rpc trends i have lived through: a compendium

this is by no means hate to trends ( "trends" in this case being something a large majority of people have participated in at some point, whether they're good or bad - not for me to judge ) bc i am a slave to the aesthetic as much as the next person. i've just been in the trenches, is all.

no promos, no formatting, no icons, no tagging system. we live in the wild west and if you can find someone to write with? godspeed.

small text and that's it for formatting. maybe a little italics for flavour. the beginnings of "omg you're so elitist for this" surfaces.

themes by manatopia ( if you were in the anime rpc ) or octomoosey ( if you favoured the rl fcs ).

simple one-word straightforward tagging system with no fancy text or symbols. ( ie. appearance, musings, closet, etc )

more complex tagging system, with symbols and quotes/lyrics using a generated font the tumblr tagging system can't actually read

one-panel simple promos with full resumes in the description ( ie. 10+ years experience, literate, etc )

2-panel simple promos

3 and 4-panel promos of varying complexity

the signerica font

text promos with icons

big, unedited gifs of varying sizes and colorings used interchangably

smaller gifs, but same as above

no icons

simple icons with simple one-line borders and whatever the fuck that checker texture was that everyone and their grandmother used

triggers? and you tag them???? wild. never heard of. we stumble blindly through content like god intended.

follower milestone/giveaways - essentially your speech at the oscars and here's a little incentive to keep following me. usually for large milestones like 100, 500, 1k, and 3k followers. if you had more than that, you had killed god.

photoshopped replies - as in, we wrote up replies into a graphic

fancy image dividers, usually something small and ornate and centered, the precursor to the dividers we use today.

container themes, with the containers getting progressively smaller. if you didn't use agirlingrey's themes, were you even an rper? quickly followed by container themes with pop-ups. look out. don't forget the floating orbs. or the little banners on the side that told you who the blog was for and the writer's name.

which reminds me, if you weren't using the spark/fire overlay on promos/graphics/etc, you were excommunicated from the rpc and sent to the dungeons.

magic anons. usually of the sexual variety. no, my muse will not be horny for 24 hours straight and they sure won't have an orgasm every time someone says their name, thank you very much. sometimes it was fun though. your muse as a neko? like, nya.

y'all i haven't even gotten past 2015 yet.... the rest is under the cut. feel free to add your own. im sure im forgetting so much.

burn blogs. enough said.

positivity blogs to counteract the burn blogs, but ultimately became a breeding ground for jealousy because the same three people were endlessly complimented. it's the thought that counts though!

memes/sentence starters, but they were made on your own rp blog and if it garnered 20k notes, there was nothing you could do to stop it. rip your activity feed. we learned. boy, did we learn.

prompt/aesthetic sideblogs.

missing e, the predecessor to xkit.

xkit. then new xkit. then xkit rewritten. missing e let us down, but we won't let this fucker die.

url trends im lumping together: latin urls, "of___", urlisms, random 'x's tacked on before and/or after the url or in place of a vowel. 'c's tacked in place of e's and o's. numbers in place of letters. changing your url just for holidays/seasons.

graphics that were either desaturated or so vibrant they were crispy

themes by eternalworks

themes by hyruleshop, isaworks, or other major creators.

the rise of callouts, for better or worse

the rise of purity culture, for better or worse

receipt/callout blogs

purple prose

extra af formatting ( no hate ), coloured text, spacing, etc.

elaborate graphics.

mains. affiliates. people you should be following. the successor of 'follow friday' and milestone 'thank you' announcements.

dni lists, for better or worse.

multimuse blogs

rp sideblogs

the current trend of ripping a canon from their og universe and re-writing them as an oc bc shut up that's why

probably a whole heck of a lot more i cannot remember. i've blocked out the trauma.

I have an exceptionally important question that you may have answered before. How do you personally pronounce GIF?

Hard G.

Gif stands for: Graphic Interchange Format.

We don't say Jraphics.

End of debate. 😇👍

[ca-dmv-bot]

Customer: GIFS" STANDS FOR "GRAPHIC INTERCHANGE FORMAT" WHICH IS A DIGITAL PICTURE TYPE. "FTW" STANDS FOR "FOR THE WIN DMV: FTW-FUCK THE WORLD Verdict: DENIED

[orangejamm]

Alright, this one is interesting. The Graphics Interchange Format. It would only make sense that you would say it with a hard G! I agree fully with this.

Now, Steve Wilhite (the creator of the gifs…) said “It’s pronounced JIF, not GIF.” (2013) This did not stop the debate. Still, people held their point, using what I just used. (Graphics Interchange Format)

In 2014, Barack Obama said that GIF used a hard g. In a survey sent out that year, the majority of people pronounced it with a hard g as well.

I believe there were more surveys sent out but honestly… it isn’t worth my time.

From then, websites and individual people have posted what they believe, as the debate continues…

(I used a bunch of sources, I don’t feel like linking them. Trust that I’m not pulling this out of nowhere. Lol)

Red Hood: I promised I’d get revenge.

Nightwing: You’re wrong, Hood. That image playing over and over in your head like a gif, it’s not the truth.

Red Hood: It’s pronounced ‘jif.’

Nightwing: Huh?

Red Hood: dot jif, like the peanut butter. The creator said so.

Nightwing: That’s dumb. It’s ’graphics interchange format.’

Red Hood: the ‘P’ in jpeg stands for ‘photographic,’ but I bet you don’t say ‘j-pheg.’

Nightwing: ‘P’ on its own isn’t pronounced like ‘F.’ That’s totally different.

Red Hood: It’s exactly the same.

Nightwing: Name one word that starts with ‘G’ pronounced like ‘J.’

Red Hood: Gentrification.

Nightwing. Shoot. I should have thought of that. I was just in San Francisco.

Red Hood: For your logic to be consistent, you’d have to say ‘scubah’ or ‘laseer.’

Nightwing: Yeah? Well, you’d have to say ‘j-pej!’

Nightwing: Wait, ‘laser’ is an acronym?

Red Hood: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

Nightwing: Huh. Didn’t know that. You’re still wrong though.

Red Hood: You just hate me because I’m right.

Nightwing: I just hate you in general.

Red Hood: You mean in geh-neral?

Nightwing: Ugh, I am joing to kill you!

Gricko: Hey Frosty, check out this funny .GIF I found!

Frost: It’s pronounced “jif”.

Gricko: Huh?

Frost: “Dot jif”, like the peanut butter. The creator said so.

Gricko: That’s dumb, it’s Graphics Interchange Format.

Frost: The P in .JPEG stands for “photographic”, but I bet you don’t say “J-pheg”.

Gricko: “P” on its own isn’t pronounced like “F”, that’s totally different!

Frost: It’s exactly the same!

Gricko: Name one word that starts with “G” pronounced like “J”.

Frost: Gentrification.

Gricko: Shoot, should have thought of that. I was just in San Francisco.

Frost: For your logic to be consistent, you’d have to say “skuh-bah” (scuba) or “lah-seer” (laser)!

Gricko: Yeah? Well, you’d have to say “J-pej”!

Gricko: …Wait, “laser” is an acronym?

Frost: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

Gricko: Huh. Didn’t know that.

Gricko: You’re still wrong, though.

Frost: You just hate me because I’m right.

Gricko: I just hate you in general.

Frost: You mean in “geh-neral”?

Gricko: Ugh, I’m “joing” to kill you!
