do you think jenna marbles knows how appreciated and irreplaceable her presence on youtube was? does she know that she mastered the craft of making a video feel like hanging out with a treasured friend? do you think she knows that she was one of the last youtubers to feel genuine in her craft, making videos for the fun of it rather than making everything polished, elaborate, and distanced? does she know that even four years later we still miss her? does she know that an era of the internet ended when she left? i hope she knows we saw her. i hope she's having a great time.
the fact that there isnt an automatically framed animation of the time me n silver shared a barely working umbrella in the rain after the chirtmas party because it was fucking wimdy unless i make that animation myself is a crime actually
i literally have him blocked from the mcc days i don’t even remember what he did but i just unblocked him. and as an insane drolo this is a big compliment

ahh thank you for sending!! i don’t think i finish nearly enough sets for this but:
tw girls x liability (reprise) — this reminded me that i need to write a meta based on this ty !! hadn’t giffed anyone other than thiam, and the way the possibilities for scene selections spilled open? the way i was working with proper lighting for once? glorious.
liam dunbar: i could never give you peace — shattered, bloody mirrors in teen wolf my beloveds !! <3 i didn’t intend to make this but i do harbor a personal agenda of ensuring he beats the himbo allegations. love picspams for foregrounding the words (and have a kira one i need to post soon!)
thiam: your ivy grows, and now i’m covered in you — first time blending and painting gifs! the parallel of their eyes glowing in 6x06 and 6x15 is so igniting!! the sword splitting the earth open? fantastic! the sans serif font is called dunbar which is also <3
this love x thiam — this is, like, the second set i ever made, but the coloring and glowing font are still so pretty to me and fitting of the dreamlike, expansive quality that the song’s rerecording has. also with how cool-toned most thiam scenes are, it all fell into place effortlessly and looks that way.
thiam: first love, you remember what that’s like? — (in which i discover my favorite sharpening settings for the first time, but not yet how to do transitions in gifs, so i make the transitions in video and import from there.) time and memory are my favorite topics to explore, so this was sooooo fun. i think it’s poignant!
i also enjoy the blending on the 3a set! the emotional tether gif especially, the timing of it, how the water flows over lydia’s hands, looks kind of starry, how her eyes flutter open as allison’s close. this was the “draft” version without selective color or a gradient map over it, which i think also looks nice:
i unlocked a new voice earlier btw but i cant do it that much bc it requires me to be nervously laughing and breathing very heavily and it had me gasping for breath for like 30 minutes
