hiii, 1, 4, 5, 14 & 35 for the gif questions/ask game or whatever (yes i am greedy)!

Love your gifs, thank you for your service 🫡

1. What are your top 3 favorite sets you’ve made

1.) naomi arriving in australia. the colors are amazing and naomi looks so pretty and the footage quality was nice and crisp!! i love love lovee looking at this one <3 plus her top is fire and i really wanna buy it from her collection

2.) jannik with the dog in toronto. first of all this dog is adorable like cmon what a good boy. second of all i love how soft the blues and greens of this one looks like it just fits my personal color preferences. but also the og vid of this was so incredibly faded that im proud of the gifset bc i was still able to make the colors pop despite that!

3.) the 2023 wimbledon final lyric edit. this is the only gifset ive made for tennisblr that involves actual creative editing (bc its soooo much harder for me personally haha) and while its not perfect im still really proud of it! plus long live is one of my fave songs and yeah it just has my heart

4. A set that flopped but deserved better

flop is a bit of a misnomer bc i def had bigger flops numbers-wise but this gif of jannik's side profile in turin never got the notes that jannik gifs usually get. but its very dear to me because of the colors! and the light reflecting on his eye! and the shadows contrasting with the outline of his figure and his hair! like ugh prettyy

5. What is your favorite movie/TV show to gif

well i suppose i'll just answer this in terms of like, what form of tennis content i like to gif? cause i don't really gif movies or shows haha. but essentially my favorite content are videos outside the court where they follow players around an area or smth. like the turin media day (not the one with game, i mean the one that shows them walking around the halls and stuff). these things usually have great quality and cinematography, which makes for really pretty gifs!!!!

14. How long does it usually take you to make a set

it depends on how many individual gifs i have in it. generally i take 15-20 minutes per single gif. the first one in a set could take longer tho, bc that’s where i test out coloring. then, since my gifsets are usually from one continuous (or sorta continuous) film/video, i just copy those settings into the succeeding gifs and make minor adjustments if necessary

35. Do you change your giffing style a lot or do you have a set routine

i have a routine! and i actually talked about it in depth for an anon one time. ive been doing it that way since i first started giffing back in i believe december of 2021 (for my footy blog lmao) based on some random tutorials i found at the time. and it’s now the most comfortable way for me so i hardly ever change anything! if ever anything different happens, it’s gonna be in the specific methods i use for coloring. but the general style is the same

[game-set-canet]

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you! get to know your mutuals and followers (ू•‧̫•ू⑅)♡

(i think you have already received the ask, but if you are ready to list on forever things that make you happy, let's go ✨)

thank you so much for sending me this 💕 yes, i think i received the ask already 3 times but i think it's a wonderful thing to have a long list of things that make you happy 😊

bananas

cuddling with my dog

the musical "Tanz der Vampire" ("Dance of the Vampires")

watching my dad grooming and petting my horse (my dad didn't like horses but now he spends a lot of time with me in the stable and likes to groom my horse)

Carlitos Alcaraz (just in general - it's the same as it is with Arón Canet)

Thanks for the tag @rafasbiscuits <3 This quiz was so random but also so much fun!!

I'm not so sure about inspiring and impactful but the rest seems fair depending on the situation lol. Also, I don't think it counts as 'ready to face anything' if I actually have no clue of what to do but just wing it until I figure something out, but well…

Anyway, I'm tagging: @kingfisherprince @schumi-nadal @tam-is-blogging @drunkenromantic @bluskype @bluespring864 (no pressure ofc!) and anyone else who feels like doing it!

Tagged by @alipeeps! Thanks so much.

Rules: answer 10 questions and tag 10 people you want to know better

Relationship status: Married

Favourite colour: yellow. It makes me think of sunshine and sunflowers.

Three favourite foods: croissants, sushi, Mediterranean cuisine

Song stuck in my head: Anti-Hero by Taylor Swift (thanks, Roger Federer IG post)

Last thing I listened to: my coworkers talking during my last Zoom meeting

Last thing I googled: menu of a nearby restaurant

Time: 1:56PM

Dream trip: trekking around Europe with my husband and kids, maybe Germany-Austria-Switzerland or France-Belgium-Netherlands. 

Anything I really want: more quality Fedal content, either fictional or in real life. And for Andy and Rafa to be healthy and for Roger to continue living his best life. Oh, wait, you mean in real life? For myself I want this personal medical thing to turn out well, fingers crossed; my kids to grow up into good people; and me and my husband to grow into that cute old couple that holds hands on park benches.

Currently reading: nothing, I don’t have time to read books. (And yet I somehow find time to read 40K+ word fanfics)

Last song: Anti-Hero by Taylor Swift

Last movie: Top Gun: Maverick

Last series: BBC Ghosts. Only the first 4 episodes, but they were great!

Currently working on: 6K words into a Fedal A/B/O fic. Yeah....I’ve reached that circle of fandom hell. 

Craving: Korean tofu soup. I got it for lunch, yay!

Tea or coffee: neither, I can’t do caffeine. Ginger tea when you’re sick does wonders, though.

[zingaplanet]

Oh you can also add the "Jamie Carragher takes Gary Neville around Bootle" Overlap episode from last year to the masterpost! It's really interesting in explaining Carra's Liverpool upbringing, his outlook on his career and also his England career - the part where he remembers Gary offering to take a penalty in his stead before he missed it for England is awww

Ah yes the fandom has spoken! For those inerested in further deep dive into the carraville doomhole, this one has everything from aggressive touching disguised as boxing sparring 😉 to a heartfelt one to one about some key moments of their personal lives!

Tagging @bluskype for ref to previous ask!

[rafasbiscuits]

Thank you for the ask, @kingfisherprince 🥺 you always include me in these, I love you sm.

Are you named after anyone? no, and I kind of wish it was, my name was chosen at a random by my grandparents and parents (and aunts) it's kind of 'unique' tho, cause i haven't met anyone that has my name yet.

When was the last time you cried? mmmm, just finished a few seconds ago. life hits hard yk? there's no reason to, I just do.

Do you have kids? no

Do you use sarcasm a lot? yes, but only to people I'm close with. when I was younger I have a sharp tongue and would be sarcastic to everyone, even family members, and I got told off and adviced to not do that anymore. so, only to my closest friends. im scared to offend anyone, plus not everyone understands it sooo yea

What sports do you play/have played? uuhhh, used to badminton just for fun cause my family are big big badminton fans, and I played netball for a while but only for school. that's it. I am no athlete even though my lifeline are literally sports.

What’s the first thing you notice about other people? uh...it differs from people to people, whatever striking features they have ig, that's what makes me notice them. but probably the face part, can't point out which one tho idk.

Scary movies or happy endings? I loveee scary movies, but I'm...you know...scared. And I don't like being scared, that's why I don't like when there are ghosts and stuff, but if it's thriller then that's my jam right there. I love watching them it's just I can't sleep when I think about it. Happy endings are not my thing, I mean it's fine, but I would rather things to not go the cliche happy ending way. I'm so tired of watching too many movies with those. So, scary movies wins.

Any special talent? I don't think I found one yet. There's still plenty of time to explore, and I believe everyone has at least one, it's just they haven't found it yet. That's what I am, still finding, hopefully mine will be cool.

Where were you born? I won't specify, but southeast asia. so culture is pretty important to, well not me, I don't care. but I grow up with all the cultures surrounding me, I'm a traditional girl whether I like it or not.

What are your hobbies? writing, reading, anything with books really, ummmm I used to love art but then..idk if it's my thing anymore, blame school for that. watching sports and films too if that's a hobby.

Do you have any pets? ooo yes yes, I have like 5+ cats, I'm a cat person. they're all really really cute.

How tall are you? 160 cm, and from Google I searched that that is probably 5'2", I think I'm quite short if I go to other parts of the world. But in my country I'm actually quite tall so💁💁

Favorite subject in school? none, I absolutely hate school. can't wait for it to be done and over with.

Dream job? idk, I'm still thinking. I have big dreams, I would love to be a theoretical physicist, or anything quantum related cause I'm a big nerd about it. but I don't even take physics as a subject (I self study/learned everything myself) and I'm not academically smart, I'm more of a, philosophy smart, which in this world and era, it won't lead me to anything. there's no jobs that are my specialty and jobs that I might excel at in my country...so...I don't know really...living in a small and not so developed country is quite a struggle actually😅

(I can tag as much as I want right??) tagging @hubillusion @tam-is-blogging @swaggypsyduck @thefrootloopman @jcferrero @yoellglia @raulsevyn @schumi-nadal @janesurlife @game-set-canet @wimbledon2008 @bluskype @littleblueducktales @cryingforcrocodiles and anyone that wants to do this that I haven't tagged. feel free to do this.
