The Wild Robot(s)!

Been a long while since I did any little animation but like i said in a previous post The Wild Robot has me in an Iron Grip.

I picked up and read the first two books many years ago (originally anxious at getting a book meant for much younger readers but bought them anyway and if anyone asked I said they were for my daughter when she was old enough to read them - and we're currently reading (or rereading in my case) the first book together right now! :D)

So I thought to make a little thing with the two versions since both mean so much to me!

Quick lists of "Alternative" software/websites I use:

Firefox (as an alternative to Chrome): Especially for the ad blocking capability. Use on both Phone and Computer.

DuckDuckGo (as an alternative to Google): No longer the thing your paranoid uncle uses, now an actually good search engine with the lack of tracking being a plus.

Kubuntu (as an alternative to Windows 11): My current Linux Distro and the best for people leaving Windows for Linux for the first time. Also KDE is Goated now.

LibreOffice (as an alternative to Microsoft Office): Works with MS-office formats and is FOSS, great if you don't trust google but need office software.

GIMP (as an alternative to Photoshop) because fuck Adobe.

Kdenlive (as an alternative to Premiere) because again, fuck Adobe.

OpenStreetMaps (as an alternative to Google maps): Tends to update quicker and is more detailed because everything is done by volunteers on the ground.

Krita (Alternative to ProCreate): Great painting app.

GIMP 2.2

[talesfromthecrypts]

Hello, I love your blog and your gifs! I just started trying to learn how to make some myself, and to be honest I'm in over my head. I've gotten to the point where I have a nice looking, crisp .gif file at 2.02MB exporting out of GIMP, but when I upload it to tumblr or discord, it looks blurry and awful. Do you have any tips or could you perhaps recommend a tutorial?

I've never used GIMP for gifs or anything (and its been 13 years since I've used GIMP at all) but I did find this:

"You can create all your animation frame layers and then go Image->Mode->Indexed and set it to 'Generate optimum palette' with the number of colors set to 256 and then at the bottom set 'Color dithering' to one of the Floyd-Steinberg settings - this will convert all of your layers to a single 256-color palette which may not be a big issue if your frames are mostly the same colors. If you don't manually convert to dithered 256 colors and just export your layered image to an animated GIF you will see much more blotchy looking results."

At long last, the first release of GIMP 3.0 is here! This is the end result of seven years of hard work by volunteer developers, designers, artists, and community members (for reference, GIMP 2.10 was first published in 2018 and the initial development version of GIMP 3.0 was released in 2020). With GIMP 3.0 you can do more than ever before, more easily, more quickly!

GIMP - How To Make Images Brighter

A short tutorial showcasing how to make your images a bit brighter using GIMP, a free photo editing software.

back in the Superwholock days there was this post getting passed around my corner of tumblr about "teflon writing vs velcro writing," ostensibly as a nutshell summary of why fandom reacted so differently to Steven Moffat and Russell T Davies as Doctor Who showrunners: slick and polished and easier to admire (when done well) or coolly assess its flaws (when botched) than to get a grip on or pull apart & tinker with, vs. messy and prickly and grippy and tinkering-friendly and prone to getting its hooks in you whether or not you ever wanted that

and that's very funny to look back on with the distance of hindsight, because to this day--a full decade after peak Superwholock--RTD-era Who and Kripke-era SPN remain THE most insane, crazymaking, irreversible-brain-damage-inducing, "compelling in the way where they make me INCREDIBLY ANGRY and ITCHY TO FIX THEM because i am so stupid-invested that they still have me by the balls, even when my engagement is just picking apart the frustrations of how and why they SUCK" turbo-examples of velcro writing i have ever encountered in my LIFE

hell, they aren't even so much like velcro as they're like snagging the folds of a lace circle skirt on a whole branch of actual cockleburs and trying to wash the shrapnel out with fucking gorilla glue

.....and then there's BBC Sherlock. which was neither velcro writing nor teflon writing but an elaborate many-year con, targeted at the EXACT kinds of people who maintain a secret good Supernatural that lives in their heads, whose one neat trick was to bait its marks into collectively hallucinating a brilliant show so that Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss never had to put themselves to the trouble of writing one.
