#i'll do a file called 'crop guide'
Text
Okay, so I need to work on the birthday gifs again aaaaaand with all of this extra space, I can also start breaking down more and more concerts and MVs and stuff 😄 Honestly excited, I don't have to keep deleting all of the WIPs once they're completed anymore
#thistale rambles#since i use paint.net i have to mosify every frame individually when i need to adjust something#and like fuck am i ctrl-z'ing my way through 20-30+ frames if i do something and decide i don't like it#instead i save it as a new file every change#(so there's the base file when i have the frames i want in the right order#then the file after i sharpen all the frames#then the file for brightness/contrast#because those two steps happen every gif#then a file if i touch the saturation#a file if i modify the temperature and/or tint#(i tend to do temp and tint separately these days even though they're the same adjustment in paint.net)#if i'm unsure about the crop i wabt#i'll do a file called 'crop guide'#where i make a new layer on top and go through and draw a box around the most important part(s) that i need to crop around#and sometimes i have 4+ different crop attempts before i'm happy#so each of those is a different file#for the birthday sets#i also need to decide what gifs get the accent color and so adding the color is another file#and then when i resize the gif down i make a new file so i have the larger original if i need to make modifications#so all of these different files take up space#and then i have to delete them when i'm done#when i'm a packrat and i'd much rather not#i don't have the original gifs for any of the birthday sets posted so far because i needed more space#and that honestly makes me sad#buuuuut new hard drive!#should mean this isn't a problem anymore)

Hi lany! I loved you Valentine's fic proposal ♡ could I request one with Bucky in like present mcu time? Maybe some sort of mission? My name is Alice and I'm a really worm person, very friendly but not so much if you cross me. I got a little bit of a temper when things don't go my way, I get frustrated but always try to work things out with the best outcomes ♡ I like jokes, puns and a dry sense of humor and I dislike too much cheese on pizza but love pineapple 😂😂😂 I hope that is enough, I leave the details to you, make what ever you want I'm sure I will love it ♡ thank u so much for your generosity and I'll be reading you ♡
You and Bucky follow Sam onto the jet. He murmurs to you, “Please tell me he has a plan this time.”
You shrug and when Bucky groans you giggle and pat your boyfriend on the head, “Honey, it’ll be fine. Things always end up okay, don’t they?”
“Well you’re on this mission with us and I don’t want you getting hurt-”
“Hey,” you cup Bucky’s face and smile softly at him, “I’ll be fine. I got you to watch my back, don’t I?”
“I suppose,” he murmurs and leans in, pressing his lips to yours in a soft kiss. 
“Hey! Bucket of shit! Alice! Stop sucking face and get over here! We gotta go over the plan!”
You pull away with a chuckle and murmur, “See, he had a plan.”
Bucky sighs and runs his vibranium hand through his cropped hair, “Let’s see if it’s a good one.”
_____________
Bucky protects you as you work on downloading the files onto your drive. Sam is working on the hostiles inside while Bucky takes care of the ones on the inside with you. 
“So I was thinking,” you say as you anxiously watch the percentage rise with the file download, “We should celebrate Valentine’s Day.”
Bucky grunts as he fights off one of the hostiles, “Thought you weren’t into that stuff,” with a slam of his fist, his opponent knocks out onto the floor. 
You look over your shoulder and shrugged, “I know, but this our first. So why not, right?”
“Buck,” you both hear Sam’s voice through the comms, “I got a few hostiles that slipped away. They’re coming to you. Alice, update on the files?”
“65 percent, Sam.”
“Roger that.”
Bucky immediately guns down, the two hostiles that enter the room and turns back to you, “So, did you want a fancy dinner kind of thing or-”
“I highly doubt you’d get a reservation this late. Valentine’s Day is in two days, Buck.”
He shrugs, “Who knows? I’m an Avenger now, right? Don’t we get discounts or something?”
You laugh and shake your head, “I don’t think you do, hon.”
“Well that’s some bulls-”
“Buck!” you yell pointing over your shoulder and Bucky immediately shoots the guy down before you could even blink. 
Bucky remains staring at your wide eyed expression, then you smirked, “Not gonna lie, that was kind of hot.”
Bucky smirks, “Down, girl.” he goes over to you and pulls the drive from the computer, “Let’s head out.” he takes your hand in his and guides you out of the building, remaining alert for any other hostiles you might encounter. 
“Sam, we got the drive. We’re headed out.”
“Hurry. I think they called in more of their friends.”
“On it.”
You both rushed out of the building, running to the rendezvous point. Sam soars over your head, doing a loopty loop in the process.
“Show off,” Bucky grumbles and you snort.
Once back in the jet, Bucky hands Sam the drive and he sits beside you, arm wrapping around your shoulders, “So, I guess when we get back, I’ll start making some calls. See what place will make a spot for one of Earth’s Mightiest Avengers?”
“Sounds good, Buck.” you kissed him again and Sam gagged.
“PLEASE WAIT UNTIL WE GET BACK. I DON’T THINK MY EYES COULD HANDLE SUCH A SITE.”
