𝐠𝐢𝐟 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 by nami ♡ 
i know that there is a loooot of gif making tutorials on this website but i want to share my way of doing my packs! for this tutorial you'll need basic photoshop cs6 knowledge and a lot of patience lol. this tutorial is very simple and fast, but my inbox and messages are open to any questions. if this post helped you, please please reblog!!
Tumblr media
what you will need:
y2meta: youtube download site.
mkvdrama: for dramas.
obs studio: if you need to screenrecord.
potplayer: video player.
gif making action by me: it will help you save a lot of time.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝟭.𝟬: configuration stuff (the boring step)
after downloading potplayer, you will open your video of choice and hold ctrl+g, it will open something like this.
make sure the format is jpeg (you can choose png too, but it will take more time to capture the frames)
for the frames, you can choose how many frames you want to capture. i let it capture until i manually stop, so it's 99.999. but you can put 60, 80, etc.
for the image size, let it be the original size.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝟭.𝟭: the capture folder.
for this next step, you click the configure folder option:
Tumblr media
create a new folder and select it. the images you capture will apear on that folder.
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝟭.𝟮: photoshop !
after dowloading my gif making action, open your photoshop and open the action. it will look like this:
Tumblr media
you can download any free sharpening action and put it on the step two option!
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝟮.𝟬: capturing the frames!
after doing all of that, let's get to work! first, open your video of choice. mine is an interview of jennie, as you can see. after that, select the part of the video you want to capture and hold ctrl+g. once you're ready to capture the frames, click start.
Tumblr media
i clicked start, let the video play and clicked stop when i wanted to stop. usually i do this basing on whos on the screen: for this example, i click start when jennie is talking and stopping once the interviewer appear.
after that, open you capture folder, it will look like this:
Tumblr media
as you can see, it starts with the interviewer and ends with the interviewer so i don't miss any frames! jennie's frames are inside the red rectangle!
now you just delete the interviewer frames, select all of jennie's frames and move to another folder inside our capture folder, like this:
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝟯.𝟬: photoshop timeeeee.
open your photoshop and click the step one of my action,
Tumblr media
this will pop on your screen:
Tumblr media
now you will open your capture folder, mine looks like this:
Tumblr media
now you click OK and let photoshop do his work. once it's done, this is what you're going to work with:
Tumblr media
now, for the fun part! adjust your gif to your liking and press play to check if everything's ok. make sure you click that chain thingy up there so your image doesn't get weird angles.
this is how my gif is looking like until now:
Tumblr media
pretty, right? NO! lets sharpen and edit!!!!!!!
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝟰.𝟬: THE OTHER FUN PART!!! COLORING!!!
first, choose your gif action of liking and apply it to the gif. i'll be using mine! this is what it looks like with sharpening only:
Tumblr media
it's getting better... BUT LET'S COLOR IT!
usually i do curves > vibrancy > color balance if needed. it looks like this:
Tumblr media
i normally like more natural and vibrant colors to my gifs, so this is perfect for me! all done :]
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝟱.𝟬: saving for web.
after that sharpening and editing, follow these steps:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
set your configs like mine (if you want to, this is up to you!) and set the loop to always. after that, just save to your gif folder and its done!
this is how my gif looks:
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤthat's it! a tutorial that nobody asked but i wanted to make! feel free to ask me any questions you have!
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤmeus brs, as fotos estão todas em português e o google tradutor pode ajudar vocês, mas se mesmo assim vocês tiverem alguma dúvida, me chamem!
love y'all. ♡

native 101: how to write a native muse
this guide is for non-native roleplayers who want to write native characters respectfully and responsibly. if you’re not indigenous, you’re stepping into representation that’s not yours. this post isn’t comprehensive, but it’s a place to start.
i'm not the sole native voice in the rpc. if you'd like more clarification, please ask others in the community! if another native has a different idea than what i've listed below, that's fine! this is just to help those that don't know where to start try to understand things better.
naming your native muse
do not make up a "native-sounding" name for your character. names like "red thunder," "greyeyes," "whitefeather," etc. are often used by non-natives trying to signal indigeneity in the rpc, but they come from a very specific historical context.
these weren’t just aesthetic choices. many native people were forced to continue these names during colonization, often by government officials or missionaries, when forced to register for census, land allotments, boarding schools, etc. these names were often translations, misunderstandings, or simplifications of actual indigenous names or meanings. they were not chosen in the way settlers chose surnames. they became permanent family names through colonization, not by cultural tradition.
so when non-natives try to replicate that style, without knowing what the names mean, why they were given, or what community they come from, it’s shallow at best and disrespectful at worst.
what you should do instead: most often, native people today have common surnames just like anyone else (smith, johnson, etc.), or inherited names from the colonization period. best rule of thumb: pick a european name. of course, some natives have traditional names used within the community. if you're not native, don't try to replicate traditional names. it's not your place. for example, i have a kiowa gordon named joseph anderson. doesn't make him any less native to have a "european" name.
*also, try to stay away from "native sounding" words for names. i know non-natives can be named these things, but i always give a little side-eye to natives who are: sage, willow, river, storm, wolf, bear, echo, etc.
how much background should you include?
it’s important to say where your muse is from, what tribe or nation they belong to, what area they live in or grew up in, but you need to know your limits. don't info-dump cultural details unless you fully understand them, which, if you’re non-native, you probably don’t.
saying someone is diné (navajo), from arizona, and maybe was raised around certain customs or ceremonies? that’s fine. pretending you can describe those ceremonies or the “spiritual meaning” behind them? not fine. mentioning things to understand your character more is welcomed! we just don't want non-natives to write about the ceremony of a powwow in depth.
your native muse is more than trauma
one of the most harmful patterns non-native writers could fall into is making their indigenous character's entire identity revolve around suffering, pain, trauma, hurt, etc.
yes, native communities live with ongoing impacts of colonization; boarding schools, land loss, mmiw, racism, addiction, environmental harm, the foster system, and more. these are real, lived traumas. but reducing your muse to only these things strips them of their full humanity.
your muse should be more than what’s been done to them. they should laugh. they should have hobbies, bad habits, complicated family dynamics, love interests, favorite foods, weird dreams, inside jokes, petty opinions, and goals for the future. joy, humor, and resilience are central to indigenous life.
don’t write a tragedy with a face. write a person who exists, who happens to be native, whose life is shaped by history, but not defined only by it. again, having these things in a muses backstory / mentioning them does not necessarily mean it's a "bad" thing (i, for one, love fucked up tragic pasts) but give them more substance outside of that, too.
"native american" is not a culture
this should be obvious, but it’s often overlooked: there is no single native culture. there are 500+ federally recognized tribes in the u.s. alone, each with their own language, traditions, government, and worldview. if you're writing a native muse and just labeling them as “native american” without choosing a specific nation, you’re already off track.
"native american" is a broad political term. it’s not cultural shorthand. it doesn’t tell you where someone’s from, how they were raised, what language their family spoke, or what their values are. saying someone is "native" and stopping there is like saying someone is "european" and expecting people to know if they're french or romanian or english.
what to do instead: pick a specific tribe or nation, and do real research. if you’re not sure where to start, choose a region and look up federally recognized tribes in that area. don’t blend cultures. don’t invent one. specificity shows respect.
your muse is not a magical being
please don’t write your native muse as if they have innate spiritual powers, a mysterious connection to the earth, visions, or vague "ancestral wisdom" just because they’re indigenous. this is a colonial trope, built out of the "noble savage" stereotype, and it’s incredibly dehumanizing.
you might not think you’re doing it. but if your muse is always the one to deliver cryptic advice, commune with animals, feel the spirits in the air, or silently guide others with intuition, take a step back. are you writing a person, or are you writing an aesthetic?
native people have spiritual practices, yes. but those are specific, tribal, and usually not open to outsiders. spirituality isn’t a personality trait. it’s not something you can generalize or sprinkle in to make a character seem deep. if you wouldn’t do it with a character of another background, don’t do it here.
don’t box your muse into stereotypes
not every native muse has to be quiet, wise, brooding, or angry. let them be awkward. let them be funny. let them be annoying, overly ambitious, soft-hearted, selfish, bubbly, arrogant, flirtatious, whatever fits.
when all your ideas of indigeneity are rooted in solemnity or pain, you miss the huge spectrum of native personalities. native people are just people. some are loud. some are shy. some are deeply cultural, some are disconnected and trying to reconnect. some are traditional. some are queer. some are both.
don’t flatten your character into a type. don’t let their "nativeness" be their only character trait. and definitely don’t limit how they act because you’re afraid of getting it wrong. get curious. do the work. and write a full human being.
if you’re non-native, you’re writing from the outside. that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to do with care, but it does mean you have to move slower, be willing to be corrected, and know when to back off.
respect begins with humility. you’re borrowing from someone else’s reality. treat it with the weight it deserves.
