Honestly I think a lot of people who have never made a gif for tumblr don't get that it does actually take time and effort, its not just rip it from a video and post it- you have to download the video, in my case I have a video player installed that grabs continuous caps, figure out what parts you need, you have to open those in photoshop or gimp, depending on where you got photoshop you might be paying for it every month and then on top of that is actually sizing, cropping, colouring, sharpening, adding text, etc. etc. like it is something that takes time and effort for which the only real reward is creating something that makes you happy and hopefully people reblog it with a nice or funny tag, so maybe keep that in mind the next time you think gif makers are being mean or unfair for being upset about reposts. It is its own little artform that is fairly unique to this website, and that's a big aspect of why I have always loved tumblr, if all the gifmakers stopped posting things would be a lot more boring around here.

Shen Yuan shixiong AU - Part 11
Luo Binghe brings Shen Yuan to the most bustling part of the market, where Ning Yingying disappeared. Just by looking around, Shen Yuan knows something is wrong and he reaches for the qiankun bag at his waist. He opens it with his spiritual energy and whistles. Soon after, Noodle comes out of it. Without needing its master’s instructions, the young dusu snake starts tracking the faint demonic energy. Shen Yuan follows it, briefly stopping in front of a cosmetic shop, then goes through a few dark alleys.
Feeling like they are making good progress, he pokes the system, asking it about the different rewards upon completing the mission. The system answers him in its google translate-like voice that, if he earns sufficient points, he might be able to unlock a special ability of his choice. Before Shen Yuan is able to inquire for more, Noodle stops suddenly in front of a gate, almost tripping him.
They had left the central district and arrived in front of an abandoned, neglected house. With the way Noodle cautiously watches the door, Shen Yuan knew they reached the right place. He turns to Luo Binghe.
“Go find Ming Fan and your other shixiongs and bring them all h-”
The last word still stuck in his throat, he sees Luo Binghe freeze, staring behind him. Shen Yuan also catches Noodle slithering away in panic in the corner of his vision. Sh*t. That doesn’t bode well. Unable to react in time, a gust of foul wind slams the gate open and everything goes dark.
Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6 - Part 7 - Part 8 - Part 8.5 - Part 9 - Part 10
((Noodle: Nope! My problem no more.
SY: Traitor ;;))

I always thought is very tricky to draw that wrinkle that goes from the nose and around the mouth and still male it look good, but gosh you nail it in every art, super expressive and pretty. Looking at all your drawings 🔍🕵♀️ to properly appreciate and study it. But wow really in love with your art style is so expressive and pleasing to look at, and the colors are so pretty 👌👌👌👌
i LOVEEE drawing wrinkles!!! it makes faces soso so expressive and i try to add wrinkles to every character i draw whenever i can. and the fact i also love drawing characters smiling (they make me happy, so i want to be able to share my joy to other people by drawing them smiling too!) which of course makes that wrinkle around the nose and mouth more prominent :-)
im not a person that can draw well from memory, i use references excessively even if it doesnt turn out the same way from the reference im copying from in the end 😊
i drew these out real quick but i have no clue how to explain any of these so i just thought about sharing it with you anyways!
call it "cheating" or whatever, but most of the time i even trace over the reference just to have a base i can copy the expression im trying to draw from. i do art for fun and if it makes my process that much easier then. well!
anyhoo, ignore the fact these are all mr lassos... i just love him a whole bunch 💛

Gwah
read and started to read 2 webcomics today and Comics seems like another thing i enjoyed in youth that i would love to participate but am locked out of, as with all things I love. I wish i had any story to tell. In any way shape or form. Like even if not a comic i dont really do anything with my few existing ocs theyre just There.
Not being creative is immutable it seems. In the same way some people aren't meant to be writers I wasnt really meant to be an artist, I feel. And yet Im Here and isolated and confused, always. I feel I don't make art in the same way anyone else does, but in a bad way. Everyone has their niche and mines like the worst one etc
anyway yeah....tacking up Making Zines and Comics onto the board of things it pains me to not be able to join in on despite enjoying em so much, along with Stickers/Stickermaking, Printmaking, Illustration and Art In General Actually, etc

ffxvi spoilers below but i have one question that haunts my mind and needs answering:
is it explained somewhere why joshua never told clive that he was alive for the past 13 years? he follows him around, and he knows that clive became suicidal upon learning that he was the one behind the phoenix gate events. why did his baby brother, the one who cherished him the most, never tell him the truth?
