It’s getting late (for me that is) but what about Jason first meeting with the rest of the council (Frostbite, Clockwork, Pandora and etc)?

You mean: Abominable Snowman, Benjamin Button and Mommy-sorry Step On Me? (Jason's crush on Wonder Woman did in fact transfer to Pandora)

Jason generally likes all of the council, and all of the council likes him in turn because he makes Danny happy.

He met Frostbite first. Danny took him to the Far Frozen to get checked out and to be sure the Baby Ghost was healthy and stuff. Jason had been forewarned and honestly, by that point, yetis were just one of those 'yeah that tracks' moments for Jason. Jason asked Frostbite, as a joke, if he could give him a piggyback ride. Frostbite picked him up, plunked him on his shoulder and booked it. 10/10 Jason had the BEST time. Definitely his favorite doctor.

Clockwork he met next, and it basically went:

Clockwork: I see you found your knight young king.

Danny: Yeah, thanks for WARNING ME

Jason: Who the is this fucker?

Danny: imagine a grandpa given unlimited power over time but retaining the 'stay off my lawn' energy but towards the time stream.

Jason: Ah

Clockwork: Wonderful. Off you two go

He then yeeted (yote?) Them through a portal because a member of the Flash Fam had severely fucked the timestream doing speedster shit. Luckily CW had smashed a hat on Jason's head first and he was in human form so the Flash fam member didn't recognize him. They were a bit too occupied with Danny yelling at them for fucking up and ripping them out of the speed force. The Flash fam member bought them lunch. (This was not the first or last time CW sent Danny to deal with the Flashes. They knew of him, and were all more than a little frightened of Danny. They think he's like. A speedforce demon or something. Theyre glad he eats burgers and not their souls) it was fun, even if they were stuck in the 40s for a bit until they cleaned everything up and got the Flash fam member back in the proper timeline. (You can imagine this as any of the Flash fam)

Jason met Pandora when she came to spar with Danny. And he just. Instant puppy crush. He watched this Amazonian woman beat the snot out of Danny and it was the best day of his life. If Fright Knight hadn't already claimed him as a protégé he would've been begging Pandora to train him. She thinks Jason is cute and is always happy to spar with him when she's around.

is once upon a time worth watching?

YES YES YES!

Reason 1: Regina Mills

Reason 2: Emma Swan

Reason 3: It's chaotic and fun as hell. Here is some shit (out of context) that occurs. Be aware spoilers:

Snow White has a one night stand with Doctor Frankenstein

Little Bo Peep was a warlord

Snow White and Prince Charming's child gave the Wicked Witch labor inducing onion rings

Reason 4: The fandom is also super fun. I feel like majority of us are cracked which makes for a lot of fun convos/interactions!

Bonus: Scaly Lizard Man

i don't really go here but y'all acting really excited when they're doing this storyline not with your ship but the dude buck and another man. Like when I saw the stuff I was like oh wow they went their with the two firefighters the show has been building for what 7 years now, instead it's just one of those firefighters so IDK I'd be disappointed if I was y'all not celebrating it. But happy that at least one of them is gonna be into men.

buck’s queer realization is for buck and buck’s character arc, not a flimsy plot device towards buddie. i’m actually really glad that they’re giving buck the individual attention right now, and then my hope is that they’ll give eddie’s his when it’s due.

and you know that people can ship multiple ships right? like yes my endgame ship is always going to be buddie but for the time being i’m enjoying buck and tommy - not least because tommy is the most interesting love interest buck’s had but because he’s a safe place for him to land in this realization of what it means to be a queer man in his profession, with someone else who came out later in life. i repeat, this is not about eddie.

as for eddie and buddie, the show isn’t over yet. also eddie’s dating someone else right now - i would hate if they ruined it by making him cheat or whatever. anyway, we have an early renewal for s8, and it’s very much a matter of being patient with these characters as they navigate a world that was, previously, completely unknown to them.

so anon, am i disappointed? absolutely not. i’m a manner of speaking, they did go exactly where they’ve been building buck’s queer arc over the last 7 seasons. because you don’t even watch the show, but if you did, you’d see exactly why it fits so well for what we know.

i can’t believe george goes to florida and the world implodes…the queen dies and a historic cat 5 hurricane

Take your time of answering this. No rush 😊

I’m curious after Jason been knighted as a Red Knight and first dealing with the Flash Fam screwing up the flow of time… Again…

A Flash: messes up the timestream

Jason:

Now, keep in mind Jason had been fucking with the Flash Fam prior to being formally knighted. Being knighted as Fright Knight(or Red Knight in this case) just gives him a bit of a power up and also gives him a good deal of authority in the 'Realms.

Now what was really scary was the first time Jason went after a Flash fucking with the timestream while in his Red Knight armor.

Just. This hulking suit of armor and ghostly flames running at them like the Terminator and. They're the FLASH fam. They're supposed to be the fastest people around. Yet they can't outrun this full on armored tank of a being.

When he catches up to whichever Flash is responsible he just scruffs them like misbehaving kittens and shakes them.

"Stop. Fucking. With. Time. You. Little. Shit." And a few more shakes for good measure. And whichever Flash it is just nods meekly. Because what else are you gonna do when this man who is more built than Superman, faster than you, who is coated in black and red armor literally radiating flames picks you up like you weigh nothing more than a wet paper bag and scolds you like a puppy who piddled on the carpet?

You agree and then offer to buy him chilidogs. (All of the Flash Fams know the big tank dude likes chilidogs, the skinny eldritch nightmare likes burgers)

Danny and Jason are the Flash Fam's version of those scary sea stories sailors tell each other. They're what goes bump in the night.

what do you think emma and regina smell like? 🫵

i see regina as a spicy perfume like classy and nom nom, bit of rose and sandalwood

and then emma as like lowkey a ‘man’s aftershave’ type smell, or something like that yknow pine and patchouli or something minty almost

Madam Mayor

Regina DEFFO expensive perfume NOM NOM NOM! 👹

Then undertones of makeup

I dunno I can just imagine smelling her foundation or makeup powder. I’d fucking snort that shit like a line of coke…

I also feel like she’d smell like coffee a little.

Maybe just in the mornings from her morning latte or smthg, but it’s a yummy coffee smell, not the stale kinda smell. Yucky.

And of course, there’s deffo some spiced apple in there. I feel like that’s just what Regina smells like though, a walking poisonous apple tart, nom nom. 10/10

Would happily die if it was the last thing I ate…

Homegirl Swan

Emma I agree, little manly smell.

Maybe hints of mint, cause I just know homegirl rushes in the mornings and spills her toothpaste down her shirt.

Happens maybe 3 times a week.

There’s always something sweet, no one can ever place it, but it’s like she’s just had something sweet to eat (which she probably has).

Her skin seems like it’d just smell sweet, do I know why? No.

And of course. Cinnamon.

hello! im a newby gimaker and i want to follow your tutorial on sharpening but i dont know how you got to the photoshop page you started from where it looks like a video timeline. can you tell me how you got there? <3

Hey!!

Welcome to the wonderful world of gifmaking <3 yes i can lead you through to that point. I have a mac so this might look different for you, but all the steps stay the same - I just shifted from windows to mac so i know this xD

I'm going to show you how to do this on this gif:

I prefer to use screenshots for my gifs (I also don't know how else to make them), so I use Mplayer for that. I used to use MPV player but that stopped working with my new computer system.

First, you want to make sure that you're using a high-quality file. If 1080p is available to you, use 1080p at the very least. This will make sure your gifs are crisp and sharp.

Open your file with Mplayer. Then find the bit that you want to gif. I sometimes search forward by frame by using the ">" key. Once you're at the start point of your desired gif, pause the video. Then, Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + S to start screenshotting. The video will start to play slowly as the screenshots are captured. (They go to the desktop automatically but you can change that in interface settings).

The rest of the tutorial is under a cut:

Once you get your screenshots, you're going to go Photoshop. File > Scripts > Load Files Into Stack.

You're going to get a dialogue box. Click Browse and load the screenshots that you want. This is what that looks like when you finish:

Next, you're going to crop your gif, using the crop tool. You can press C on your keyboard for this or use the tool with this icon in the sidebar.

For this, I'm using an aspect ratio of 540 x 400:

Click that checkmark to crop. Once you do, we're going to resize the image. Use the Cmd/Ctrl + I function to bring up this box. For tumblr gifs, you want to change the width. The height doesn't really matter but if the width doesn't match up, Tumblr is going to fix it for you and it'll look funky. Per row:

1 gif , we use 540px

2 gifs, 268px each

3 gifs, 177, 178, 177 px

We're just doing one, so I'm using 540px.

Now, you want to make sure you can add the timeline. In the top bar, go to Window > Timeline

This will bring up the timeline.

From there, click "Create Frame Animation" (you might have to press the arrow in the timeline bar first.)

It's going to look like this:

We're going to use those three lines in the corner of the picture above. The first option we'll select is "Make Frames From Layers"

That looks like this:

Now, when these load in, you may notice that they're all in reverse. To make them go back in order, we're going to go back to that menu and click "Reverse Frames."

Then, in that same menu, click "Select all Frames." We're going to change the animation speed. You want to make sure you have the first frame selected. We're going to click the arrow next to the "0 sec"

When you click that, it will give you a menu. Click, "other..." You should get a dialogue box that says "Set Frame Delay", just like the one below.

You want to use anywhere between 0.05-0.1 seconds. I find that anymore more is just too slow, so I prefer 0.06. This is fully changeable at the end of my sharpening tutorial, and you can use what you want, but that's what I prefer.

When you do that, it'll change the frame speed of all the gifs.

Now, go back into that little menu, and click, "Convert to Video Timeline."

This is what it'll look like:

Now we're going to select all the layers in the right-hand pane. Once we do that, right-click and select, "Convert to Smart Object."

And you're there! Now you can use the sharpening tutorial to your liking.

Pro tip: Make an action with all these steps so you don't have to do them by hand with every single gif you make.

Hope this helps and it wasn't super long winded. Let me know if you have any questions <3 Happy giffing!

i’m very glad people are talking about this. this situation was never black and white. when it was all happening last week, i was so scared. like jan said, seeing all these words like “groomer” “guilty” etc made me so scared. and i was upset and angry and betrayed. so i deleted the tumblr app and deactivated my twitter and tried to let my thoughts settle down.

once they did, my first thought was that i am too obsessed. being in fandom makes me way too addicted to what could be a casual interest. so i’m working on detaching now (and since i am busier in the real world now, i think my mentality really is going to improve).

my second thought after looking at everything presented to us, is that it was not grooming. i saw people even yesterday on here call dream a “potential groomer” when factually, he just isn’t. and i felt so guilty, again, that i didn’t agree with these public denouncements of dream. which also just reinforces in my head how unhealthy fandom can be.

don’t get me wrong i think dream was stupid, and dumb and naive, but i suppose if he was truthful in his twitlonger then he already realised that hence why he stopped talking to fans and let other people have his social media passwords, which is a good sign.

sorry this is rambly, but yeah. still engaging with dream team content, but hopefully toning waaay down on the obsession and parasocialness. i really like how you described yourself in the tags as just zee who enjoys dteam content. really sums up what i think we should all work on :)

couldnt agree more with everything that u said here, anony.

[wasteddmoondust]

I really like your writing! It's so warm and heart touching. I hope you're doing well. Have a great day! (:

thank u so much lovely! <3 <3

also saw you asked to be in the taglist teehe you'll be added!

[chosos-mascara]

Just wanted to pop up here and say that I think you’re an amazing, excellent writer 😍 Deserving a huge thanks for all the hard work you’re putting into your writing—the ideas, the characterizations of all the characters, the style of your writing, the prose and I could go on and on…(especially huge thanks for that vamp Choso fic, it’s been stuck in my mind ever since I read it for the first time). Just know you’ve got yourself another fan 🖤🫶🏻 (and have a nice weekend!!)

With love, @konigbabe (it’s my secondary blog; can’t send non-anon asks so this signature have to do lol)

THIS MADE MY MORNING THANK U SO MUCH !!!!!!

genuinely thank you so much for this, it makes so much of a difference if just one person has reached out to say they enjoyed something!! also the choso fic is my baby (still working on a part 2! taking a long time cause i'm always tired after work ;-;) and to hear that you still think about it is absolutely amazing. i always get fics stuck in my head so to hear that i have had that effect on someone else is genuinely like a dream come true lol
