#i redid my caption so many times

[hanjisungz-remade]

3 years with 3racha ♡

through 3 mixtapes, 2 singles and 14 deleted tracks, you three came together to share your dream and love for music, to tell your stories and spread messages. from the first moment i heard your voices i knew there was no going back. to say that i’m thankful is an understatement, but i really don’t have any better synonyms to convey how much your music has helped me and how much it continues to help me and so many other Stays so i think that the only viable words i can say right now is thank you. thank you for coming together as 3racha, thank you for being a part of stray kids, thank you for making music from the bottom of your hearts, thank you for being your dorky selves, thank you for everything. it’s already been three years, but here’s to many more. from starting as 3racha to part of stray kids, i’m here to stay ♡

thank you bang chan, seo changbin and han jisung

2020 creator wrap: favorite works

Rules: It’s time to love yourselves! Choose your 5 (or so) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. Tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!

been tagged thrice so speaking as my tumblog’s biggest fan, let’s add that up, alright? this will be a pick per month + short description on why i the heck i kept opening ps for them (ಥ _ ಥ)

january - with the lyrics of her hopes in song form, a light-filled gongju & eunhee set was how i started this year. appropriate, in retrospect.

february - black dog sans forgetica. unlike other high school dramas, there wasn’t much fanfare about this because instead of focusing on a teen and their dream, we meet ko haneul who is just trying to meet the standards of a permanent teaching position. unglamorous yet wrung out quiet, reassuring tears.

march - an entry for kww featuring hwansaengdam!han yeri. lack of vidding skills aside, i don’t think i did this a disservice because i thought hard about this category connection-wise. 

april - unabashed eunjung × somin lovin’. listen, that caption i used is all the context one needs to hear about my melo suits me sentiments.

may - had qingpingle been a story about and for danshu & huirou, maybe the serenade part of the title won’t be a detestable lie™. started drafting this with affection but as the series arduously went on, can’t remember anything else besides Spite. no one gets peaceful joy out of watching that terror. (yes, this single-handedly took me out of my cdrama game for most of the year, besides my wasted nights of reading the source novel + getting a 4k copy for giffing.) deleted that without looking back because i do not want to promote this empty calligraphy to anyone. the only justice here is the increased potential for jiang shuying to receive tons of period drama casting offers from now on.

june - today in diary of an ahjumma spy, mvp misoon brought post-interrogation ice cream. neither my sharpest set nor the one with the best colouring but a glimpse of their shared experience over the years.

july - korean meryl streep moon sori has countless of gold dialogues in her directorial debut, the running actress, but the pretty argument is my winner. (you had the license for this but never bothered to subtitle, netflix? whyyyyyyy?)

august - birthday month = blaring homoerotic subtext. i redid this off a simpler version i tweeted. united effort to accomplish her gasping is more like it.

september - jein writernim, i swear i am not hung up the way other misty viewers are/were but mawma....... you had your synopsis that should not have arrived at that ending. dropped this about halfway through and out of the blue years later dreamt about the proper eunjoo comeback to hyeran’s life a la the handmaiden’s “my savior who came to ruin my life.” gosh, her power.

october - lovedrunk, timeless lesbian pining. high art.

november - i have not watched a park minyoung drama since *checks notes* that sorry excuse of a sageuk i do not wanna discuss here ever but for miss goddess to hand me slice-of-life about a cellist coming back to her hometown with a guy and a gal crushing on her since high school? signed, sealed, delivered, i’m yours.

december - right from the start, i made this weekender analogy — five children : wolgyesu tailor shop; once again : samgwang villa. the vibes was off in week one and i thought that was the end of that. but faced with a kim sunyoung-jin kijoo paired as at-odds-at-all-times aunt and eldest niece and it’s a presently losing battle with my frenemy creative team. humor me some more and actually land this all the way.

bonus & those i’m tagging under the cut

extracurricular × villain by stella jang

no ragrets i pulled an all-nighter for this pun greeting

Time to see how I do my story! thank you for the tag @herpixels​ !

1: YOUR WRITING PROCESS

my writing process is set up in 2 parts, the first one is a general summary of my story, there I write out the storyline, I have act one completely mapped out. the interlude and act two aren’t written out in detail yet, but I know the big events and how they start and end. the second part is i write a list of all my upcoming scenes, with a sentence to describe a direction the scene. The scenes are then expanded on when I get near to working on them, written out screenplay style with numbers indicating what photo they correlate to.

2: SCENE BUILDING

i love scene building! i build most of my own sets, since my story is set in new york city i have several city street builds! my biggest one is where tons of scenes are set, my notably it’s where judah’s apartment is

it’s unfinished as i only try to do what will show up in scenes to save me time. building my own sets definitely helps set the vibes, and with specific locations like the train stations, but it’s the most time consuming step on here for sure.

3: CC/POSE MAKING

i’ve made a couple poses! only if I really need to, i am a beginner pose makers, i’m hoping to get better. i’ve made poses in these posts! 

4: GETTING IN THE ZONE

music is without a doubt, one of the most important aspects of my story. i was really inspired by how daniparadise’s des vu had a soundtrack and decided to do the same thing. while not necessary to read my story, you can follow along with the songs linked here! on spotify though I have the story soundtrack fully mapped out.

5: SCREENSHOT FOLDER

taking photos is probably my least favorite part of the process, since I know ahead of time how many photos i need to take, i don’t do more than i need to. for my last post which needed 11 photos, i took 53

6: CAPTIONS

i am a firm lover of captions on the photos! i think it’s an easier/best way to read sims stories. i also really like the opportunties it presents, some of my favorite posts have been judah’s monologues and fantasies, which is brought out best in the captions

7: EDITING

editing is my favorite part of the process! i love trying new things and switching up editing and colors in scenes, my last post had the most drastic editing ive ever done, simply cause the original photos were taken at 8pm in game with no outdoor lighting or sunlight.. it was a real struggle getting them visible. i mostly do adjustment layers of brightness, curves, and gradient maps. followed by sharpening/blurring, then shadows, blobs of light and the liquify tool on sharp edges on the sims.

8: THROWBACK

my story started completely different! when I came back in july i completely redid the first few posts cause I didn’t think they set up the story well. initially it started with a phone call between judah and his sister amalie, i really just wanted to get the ball rolling at the time so it didn’t have much significance, and it didn’t set up judah’s character accurately. my story still doesn’t have the punchiest beginning but it’s wayyyy better now,

9: FREE SPACE

creating a story has definitely been a big learning experience, the thing ive struggled with the most is not being able to get exactly what i want through sims based on whats in my head. ’m trying to resist all urges to rush even though i have so much ahead of me! there’s also been lots of things i’d want to write/add in but probably won’t for the sake of keeping the story not a downer/potentially triggering. i will say, sims storytelling is not the easiest way to present a story, but i really love how it combines visual and written storytelling.

I tag any storyteller who wants to do this!!! but also @solunasimmer​ @zombietrait​ if you two want to!!!

[fireflythecinnamonjollyrancher]

hello it is once again time for my end of the year wrap up. this should be... interesting

Emily Ratajkowski

Inspired by the hate that rained down after Kardashian’s naked selfie, she redid it—with Emily Ratajkowski’s sharp tongue (and a couple of middle fingers). “We are more than just our bodies, but that doesn’t mean we have to be shamed for them or our sexuality,” Ratajkowski wrote.

  Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy Teigen took a serious wardrobe malfunction and spun it into comic gold. “Apologies to anyone harmed mentally or physically by my hooha,” she wrote, shouting out her hair removal guru. “Dress is#yousefakbar and shoes are@dsquared2 and laser hair removal is@sevlaseraesthetics.”

Sofia Richie

Sofia Richie proved that she’s one to watch with this epic Complex cover. Haters started posting snake emogis on her IG ever since she started dating Justin Bieber, and the hate didn’t stop when they broke up. “When you get called something enough I guess it becomes apart [sic] of your story,” she wrote on Instagram.
