didn’t mean to open up old wounds but i just came across the trailer for the thai movie(?) URANUS 2324 and as I was watching it I was like “a lady loving astronaut in space and her lady lover back on earth….why does this sound so familiar 🤔” (away, invasion, famk, maybe more)
hopefully it ends better for these two 😆 (nobody @ me about famk I know we left off on a happier note with ellen going to be with pam but they went through some shit!)
They went through SO much shit! Lol, season 4 better be JUST them being happy from the moment we left off season 3.
I had definitely heard of the Gap ladies being in another unrelated project, I hadn't realized it was gonna veer this hard left into scifi. I don't watch that much Thai TV but I see the occasional BL and GL gifs and they're usually set in a normal setting--wait, there was that Gifted series, about the superpowers. But still. I just don't think this alt universe/time travel (?) space movie (?) seemed the next step after Gap.
It'll definitely be interesting to see how it's done and its reception, given its ambition. :o
August wasn't super kind to us in the beginning, but I believe that there are very bright days ahead for us all🤍🫂 Let's hug tight and keep pushing forward! ✊❤️🩹

talkin about the space girls set. it was. hard, i spent a long time on it
so, nearly all of these were pretty intense color manipulation. i used keyframes for a lot of them, including this^ one, to keep the color consistent; namtan's chin moves around a lot in this shot so i had to shift the layer mask around to keep the green purple
this one is also keyframes, to keep ongsa's hat colored purple; and now you can see the glitch that i couldn't get rid of that i ended up covering with the text LMAO
this one was difficult to recolor without that flickering effect that you can sort of see over on the left; like with ongsasun before them i did fix some of the ongoing problems by just covering problem parts of the gif with other stuff. a lot of the weird effects are hidden behind the cutin sun/moon/star gifs or behind text or whatever else. it's a living
the galaxy effect is a gif i made from a free overlay video. it *is* moving, and i adjusted it so it went the same fps as my gifs because otherwise it looks very odd. i think this is the best in-gif use of it: it looks so cool on the truck. this gif too has funky lil color glitches i couldn't fix and hid with other elements, lmao
the final version so i can talk about it: this gif uses keyframes as well, since part of the background is red and recoloring it was a pain :')
the text in this first gif is warped like that using paths; i made a circle shape around the sun, changed it to a path, then put the text around the path like that. id never done it before and it confused the shit out of me OTL
the fonts in this set are, as seen in 23.5 & pluto, "blue ocean", and as seen in uranus 2324, "doky". the small sans serif font that's in all the gifs is called "moon"; it's one of my favorites and i've used it before (notably in the akk hollow moon edit), and it's also thematically appropriate
