I was scrolling down the hashtag dr strangeglove on tumblr and I just remembered that I have a response/reaction(?) gif that I made quite while ago by gif-recording and editing a bit, so uh, imma share it here I guess lol

v here's the one without edit

[hasarjunadoneanythingwrong]

i think some of takeuchis art is really good and some of it is bad. is that an acceptable stance or is having a non-dichotomous opinion considered passé/wishy washy

jojolands cat transparents. the reason why some of these have so much space is to make sure mobile users who save them dont lose the transparency 🤔 (in my experience my phone doesnt save transparency for images under 500x500 anymore)

I've attached some screenshots for my non-Chinese speakers!

That's about it, it's pretty easy to navigate, just click around 🖱️🖱️

If all fails, restart computer, that should fix 99% problems (IT helpdesk no.1 advice ╰(￣ω￣ｏ)) If it still doesn't work, uninstall and install again

What it looks like irl:

Side note: I've made mobile lock screen for Love and Deepspace, it's just a video you can download (●'◡'●)

joyce-centric ficlet. vague post s1-pre s2 time.

jonathan has taken will and mike to the movies. joyce is having a normal time.

being in a school parking lot on a winter weekend is about as happening as it sounds, but it’s been the only place to bring joyce the slightest bit of peace. driving around downtown did nothing, staying at the theater was torture, and staying at the house was not an option. it was hard to be in without her kids to turn it into home.

joyce has been in the empty school parking lot for 20 minutes now, the incessant ticking of her wristwatch marching around her busy mind. the silence of her empty car punctuating every moment she spent thinking about Will.

Specifically, her inability to immediately satisfy the need to check her boy was safe at any moment. Jonathan took him and Mike to see some new movie she couldn't remember the name of, and it was becoming increasingly nerve-wracking to wait all alone for the end of this god-forsaken movie while her boy could be in danger of who-knows-what.

she'd never thought he'd be in danger biking home from the wheeler's after DND that night in November. what made this moment any different? only that she was more aware of potential dangers lurking now more than ever. her illusion of her child's supposed safety had been shattered, and no one around her understood that.

who could possibly understand? how could they possibly understand having a part of you ripped away, with all your love bleeding out all over everybody nearby? the way everyone, like Hopper, had tried to placate her, to calm her, as she clung to any semblance of reassurance that her boy was alive.

"don't get your hopes up" he'd say, if anyone should know about broken hope, it’s Hopper. that didn’t make his words sting any less. as if she’d had any other option but to believe, to yearn for the impossible.

its not like joyce used to being listened to in a place like Hawkins before Will disappeared, but these faces swirling in her mind of repeated sets of eyes conveying all the pain they saw on her face mixed into their disbelief that she had fallen so deeply into erratic grief. feeling so alone where the feeling of home used to be. that was too much to bare.

and now the aftermath has been somehow worse. suddenly, Will's return meant that everyone else could move on. but her Will was not the same. and she was never seen the same, always treated like she had one foot off the ledge. but again, why shouldn't she be? was she meant to ignore the imminent and looming operation involving herself, her child, and anyone unfortunate to be around as she desperately tries to shawdily stitch these pieces of their souls back whole?

but she had to try. how else could she survive such devastation? who would dare look joyce byers in the eyes and claim she’s foolish for believing in herself; when, if she’d listened to anyone but herself her Will would certainly be dead?

i actually have not stopped thinkin bout your bb!edit like,,,, its so good and scratches my brain right

how long have you been doin edits for? do have any tips for someone, who hypothetically, wants to start doin edits too? what programs do you use? how did you do the cool animated bits?

im so sorry for all the qustions 😭😭 i just think youre very talented and inspirational and i hope you have a good day ^_^

hi firstly oh my gosh you're literally so sweet i am gently shaking you i love you so much /p. secondly, i apologize for the long answer! (it's all under the cut. this got away from me. i'm so sorry apparently i have a lot to say.) (also you're so good about the questions i would constantly be asking one of my professors questions during class to the point where she said i didn't have to go "i have a question" every time i approached her)

i've been editing since 2016! around march/april, i think? loved it so much i went into film & video production in college as a major so i could do editing for a living. (i have done more motion graphics for my classmates than i have done edits outside of class assignments, BUT!)

the program i use is after effects - i started learning it when covid first hit the united states because i had nothing better to do with my time (other than music theory but i failed that bc my professor focused more on the history aspects than the actual theory soooo) and my ipad kept giving me the "no more storage" whenever i tried to use videostar lmao. (vs has, apparently, gotten a LOT of good updates, so if you're looking to start editing and have an ios system, i'd look into it! only downside is you have to pay for some of the cool stuff).

also the program i use for masking (i think i explain this later dwdw) is superimpose. i've been using it since 2014 and it's SO nice bc i can use my fingers to erase backgrounds & stuff instead of hoping i can get it to work correctly in ae or photoshop (photoshop my DETESTED i'll use it but i'll complain the entire time).

for people who want to start editing: tutorials on how your program works and how to do specific transitions are gonna be your best friend when you're first figuring things out! i forced a friend to literally walk me through how after effects worked when i was first figuring it out, and when i had swapped to videostar back in 2017/2018(?) i had watched a Lot of tutorials. that and played around a lot and figured things out on my own - which is also always a good way to start!! it's also totally valid to look at other people's edits for inspiration - most editors don't really care, as long as you don't flat-out remake their edit (some people don't like that!). i have a style insp folder on instagram where i save edits that i like so if i need transition ideas or i'm doing a different style, i can look there for inspiration. at the end of the day, as long as you're having fun with it that's all that matters!

also, starting simple is always okay!! my edits for a year were just me slapping gifs & video segments together on a timeline in cute cut pro bc imovie didn't load them lol & it'd crash every time i breathed. ++ it never hurts to ask people for feedback/constructive(!!!) criticism/etc! (also not to sound like everyone else but practice? good. it's so good. if i showed my 14/15y/o self some of the edits i can make now they would've passed out on the spot bc i was still trying to figure out transitions back then. programs can also sometimes make a difference in edits, but usually it's not super noticeable until you start getting to the Complicated Shit.)

a lot of popular programs i've seen are ones like video star (ios only), alight motion (android only), after effects (i recommend 🏴‍☠️ing it tbh, i only use it legally bc i had to use adobe programs for school), capcut, and i think some people still use sony vegas pro & maybe cute cut pro (i've heard it may have actually gotten better since i last used it in 2018)? i have no idea. programs also depend on whatever device you're using to edit on! since i've been using my laptop, i'm able to use after effects (it's computer-only), but when i used my phone/ipad to edit i used ccp & vs.

for the animation - it's a lot of cutting up the image and masking! more complex animations, like the one i had of leo walking down that red 'hallway' have several different layers that have been masked. (i removed the background & filled in the spot where leo originally was in two different apps - superimpose (taking leo out) & photoshop (filling in the bg)) in after effects, the way i've done this was mask out the specific thing i wanted to move (like an eye) and then put that mask on what i've called a "base" (not animated), and then stick a solid behind the base to match the color of the object. (some of my layers are not named appropriately; base 2 is the left arm & the four "SIX_[...]" layers are the mask/bandana tails)

an example of this would be for any of the eye blink animations i did! this (above) is the same shot, with and without the eye - since it's masked out and i have the background solid behind it, it doesn't look too unnatural/have a black outline/mass where his eye should be.

what it looks like without the solid layer behind it ^ (the red lines are from the null layers - ignore that)

this is what my timeline looks like if it's a more simplistic animation - the only five things being animated here are leo & raph's eyes. (there's only this many layers bc it's two characters in one shot & i was also animating their pupils - typically, an eye-blink animation is about 4-6 layers for me (solid, base, mask, & null to animate with, 6 if i'm animating both eyes & 4 if just one))

in after effects, there's this really cool tool called the puppet pin that one of my friends (lovingly) yelled at me for not knowing about - which. yeah fair she wasn't wrong it's SUPER useful in animating, provided you chop up your image first. if you don't it's a mess.

(separated by layer vs i should've really put the mask tails & leo's head on separate layers and didn't bc that was the 2nd to last animation i had to do and i was losing my mind bc i wanted to be done with the edit lmao)

the way people animate depends all on their style (there's two common ways to do blinking animation - having the anchor point at the bottom of the eye, or the middle of it) and the program they use. it's been a while, but i could probably tell you how to do some basic animations on videostar still even though i've been doing them in after effects for about 2-3years now. ALSO the best way to have an animation be noticeable is to over-exaggerate it/make them Big - which, yes, can mean 'breaking bones' and having the limbs be a little wonky at the start. (if you want it to be realistic though go Just to the point where it looks uncomfortable lmao)

uhm. again i am so sorry that this is so long i THINK this is everything? if not: my inbox/dms are always open if you ever want to ask more questions, wanna follow up on something, etc etc!! (also if you ever start editing please send me your edits!!! i'd love to see them <3)

[catboy-kiyotaka-edits]

I was using him for a base for an oc sprite and.. yeah, I figured I could do this...anyway moving on.

Second one was just because something about the first bothered me
