i’m gonna be honest, if there isn’t a gay rumour about them, their music probably isn’t that good

[somepinkthing]

It is absolutely useless to point out to me that my favorite characters went insane and perhaps slightly evil, especially when they were the ones wronged first. I support them and think they could have been more insane, actually. I think they should have just started attacking people on sight. They should have gone off the walls completely. They should have made all their decisions based off of grief and fear for far longer! I support rights and wrongs indiscriminately. I think forgive and forget should only come after they've worked through their hurt in the most destructive way possible and traumatized everyone back. Pls never assume otherwise

Anybody have any druidry related book recommendations from this decade, or perhaps even this century?

I'm working on a TBR list of relevant stuff and as much as I do fully plan to get just about every book by Morgan Daimler, she can't be the only one actually putting out works right now? Especially would love anything by trans and/or queer authors!!

secret rocker santa participants needed!! (11/17/24)

oookay after another review of the Spreadsheet™, currently we are most in need of fans of following musicians and bands (or even just people with a passing interest in them):

everyone is welcome (the only requirement is that you’re a fan of some kind of music from roughly the 50s-90s) and there’s plenty of time left!! these are just the ones that so far seem like they’ll be the hardest to match, which means more fans signing up would be very helpful :^) if you or your followers fit this criteria, please consider reblogging this post!

Things I've started noticing in media as someone who recently developed a not yet diagnosed chronic pain disorder that has fucked up my life.

- seeing rep for any. Any. Disability makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

- in fandom, every time I see another disabled person discuss a disabled character, they actually like analysing the character in terms of how they function with their disability. But I only ever see ablebodied people make aus in which "everything is fine".

- seeing arguments about what is and isn't good representation is extremely draining. This goes for any minority, many of which I'm part of. It's an important conversation to have, but so often the focus is on tearing down the character instead of building them back up yourself. The approach is too focused on rooting out the bad apples, not on planting the seeds for better ones.

So often I see complaints, and those complaints are entirely valid. I agree with most of them. But wouldn't it be more productive to point out what was done right and suggest what could've been done to make it even better? If there's one thing school taught me, it's that constant criticism just leads to resentment.

Make up ocs with disabilities, draw them as well as you can or commission someone to draw them for you and post that shit with a detailed explanation. Someone is bound to see it. Write fanfiction of your favourite character and go in depth on the struggles they face and how they still find happiness alongside those struggles. Make videos or write books or animate something and include your story there, because that won't make you miserable. Force people to see you for who you are. It's far more effective than getting into arguments online.

hi Heather!! your recent post made me so curious - do you have any other gif before and afters that you are particularly proud of, or that were particularly tough, or just that you wanna talk about? any and all giffing directors cut tidbits are fascinating!!

[reference to this post]

OMG HI! I love this question!! Director's cut makes it sound so fancy and I love that. 🤭

Okay, so I actually have SO MANY before/after gifs saved because I use this before/after mask layer a lot as a bit of a mind trick on myself. Sometimes you spend so long trying to edit something, changing this around, tweaking that, undoing, redoing, etc… that you lose focus on what it looked like at the start. So if I’m ever frustrated with how something is looking, I’ll often do this to get out of my head about it.

This scene from Carlos' loft in s1 is a great example of one of those:

Another reason I use this a lot is because it’s a really good way of double checking that I’m not washing out the POC that I’m editing. When you have to dramatically brighten a scene (like we often have to do with our beloved 911LS), it can really lighten the skin tones of the people in the scene. I work hard to try to avoid that and sometimes just looking at the edited gif won't tell me if I've been successful, so I'll use a before/after mask.

This is a Paul gif that's an example of using it for that:

That is something I wish I knew how to do early on in my gifmaking because there are some of my older gifs that truly do not do the POC on this show justice. I'm hoping to re-do some of those in my Guardian's Gifset Glowups series I just started. I mean, look at the comparison of the first time I edited this Carlos scene to NOW:

I was very very early in my learning process when I made that first one, but still... that old editing of mine is just not acceptable imo.

For scenes that were particularly tough... I think one that people might not expect to be that difficult but drove MY CHEESE TO SLIDE OFF THE CRACKER, was the soulmate scene. I think I haven't made as many gifs as my love of this scene should've warranted but it's just so tricky to edit. The few that I have made you can even see how differently they look from each other cause I haven't nailed it down yet:

ONE OF THESE DAYS I'll find a good edit balance for this scene that I love and you'll see a million gifs of it on your feed from me.🤭

And finally! Before/after that I'm particularly proud of... I mean, the proposal scene... I think they lit that scene with a single birthday candle in the corner and a child's flashlight behind their fake windows. So all the before/after edits are so satisfying:

Hey ttrpg side of tumblr,

What’s a ttrpg that’s like based on child protagonist like pc and adventure stories.

Or just a list of ttrpg that is not combat focused

Or just not dnd, pathfinder, and call of cathulu

Im making a thing to play ttrpg s with kids and 5e is “too violent” so I’m looking into alternatives but I have no ttrpg friends (I know, I want to play with people so bad). I might just make my own since I don’t really know any others but maybe you guys can help.

Try and spread this post out cause I really don’t know any ttrpg s besides the once I’ve listed.

Vettonso x Similar Helmets

SV Germany 2012 x FA Monaco 2013: Gold & Dark Red

I think a lot about Vettonso and their mutual relationship witn gold. They're both golden boys, they're both seen lit gold by the sunshine on many podiums throughout the years, both have worn golden boots, and as you can see here: both have worn golden helmets. The parallels in these particular helmets makes me feel insane. Both are: gold with dark red accents, both have their birthplace's coat of arms(Bergstraße and Asturias), both have team animal motifs, and both have symbols to represent their two championships(You by now know the signifigance of the ones on Fernando's helmet, but I think the ones on Seb's are actually a callback to his Formula BMW days when he used to put the smiley stickers on his car for every win.)

And did you know both of these helmets were designed by the same helmet design company? Yep, both of these are JMD helmets. I know JMD helmets are/were pretty popular, but still, there's something to me about Fernando commissioning the same designer that Seb has been using since he was a literal child. Parallels, am I right?

SV Japan 2010 x FA Japan 2023: White with Black & Red

Haha I remember @protocolseben and I discussing this a bit back in September when Fernando's helmet dropped. I honestly think Seb is such an innovator and trailblazer in terms of helmet design, and you can see his influence in helmet design as recently as this past season. I'm not sure if he was the first ever driver to don a matte white helmet with red accents as a representation of the Japanese flag, but it certainly envoked him in my mind when I saw Fernando's!!

I think Fernando's is pretty similar to all of Seb's 2010-2012 Japan helmets but I like this one the most so! I think if Seb wasn't restrained by the Red Bull logo, he def wouldv'e put the red circle where Nando put his so I think Fernando did a really good job, even if unintentionally, at emulating Seb's sense of design.

SV Singapore 2012 x FA Singapore 2012: Sparkly!

Like I said in the one above, it's crazy how much Seb influenced helmet design. He was pretty much the pioneer of sparkly helmets for Singapore, right? It drives me absolutely insane that there's actually pictures of them together in such similar designed helmets. It's kinda funny actually that even though they're pretty deep in the championship fight at this point, and Seb just got one up on Fernando; Fernando is wearing a helmet that is a direct influence from Seb!!! Is that not insane???

Also, Fernando trying to be camp with trying the now in vogue sparkly Singapore helmet, and Seb accidentally completely blew him out of the water with his outrageous light up LED constellation helmet. But god yeah....to have pics of them in matching helmets from this era particuarly makes me emotional ;;;

SV Hungary 2021 x FA 2022: Pink with Dark Blue

I really could've picked any of Seb's 2021 helmets, but I thought this one matched the best with Fernando's main 2021 helmet(with the color pallet.) Also one thing, it's crazy how much control BWT has as a sponsor, I don't think I've ever seen another sponsor go so hard at having a chokehold on individuality. I like that we got pink liveries and pink helmets, but I don't think they should have that much control.

I'm almost kinda sad there wasn't any Miami GP in 2021, because I think that was the only unique helmet Fernando had in 2022. But these match pretty well! Pretty in pink!! It's crazy that their parallels in the 2020s are ongoing even before Fernando actually takes over Seb's seat. Thanks BWT I guess?

SV Abu Dhabi 2022 x FA Abu Dhabi 2022: Fernando's Seb Tribute Helmet

AND HERE WE HAVE THE PIÈCE DE RÉSISTANCE!!! The ultimate conclusion, it literally couldn't get better than this!! This is still unbelievable, like how is this an actual thing that happened!? Fernando intentionally branding his helmet, the only symbol of individuality in F1, with his rival's flag colors, HIS FLAG!!!!! Not to mention the literal "Vettono Best Moments" collage he posted alongside it....and the hand-holding....and everything that happened with them at Abu Dhabi 2022....

But god, after years of incidentally making parallel helmet designs, Fernando decided to officially tie the knot of the red string of fate, and make a helmet directly referencing Seb's. I think it's funny because as I said with two of the previously mentioned ones, those Fernando designs are pretty much inspired by Seb's, and here he is openly making one directly inspired by Seb. I don't really have words for how this actually makes me feel because it's just. Yeah. The most open and clear declaration of love and respect and admiration one could ever make. TO ME.

IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE CARTOON ENDINGS OF ALL TIME. NOTHING HAS KNOCKED MY BREATH OUT MORE. OHHHH MY GOD. i've been saying this ever since i first saw the cartoon, if i didn't have a pact to always have a duck in my profile picture, THIS THING would be everywhere as my icon. i actually think it's my icon for Hyperbeam when i groupwatch stuff with friends. i literally cannot tell you how much i love the Frank Sinatra worm. this appeals to my sense of humor CARNALLY
