sorry it's a lot hgskdk

omg no tysm, i am [gib] over all of these!!

What are your top 3 favorite sets you’ve made?

yennefer week day 2 yennefer & jaskier + nicknames hisirdoux casperan + verbal incantations

5. What is your favorite movie/TV show to gif?

Most of my stuff has been with either The Witcher or Wizards, but i think I actually really like giffing music videos/documentaries? The lighting is so much easier to work with than it is on many tv shows, and while Wizards was pretty easy to work with in a lot of ways, I think I like working with live action footage more because it makes coloring/blending feel a lot more seamless.

9. What/who inspired you to start making gifs?

At this point, I honestly don't even know?? I was making little gifs as soon as I had proper access to Photoshop on my own device, but I think it was just a natural evolution out of the graphics I would make on Instagram in middle/high school. The biggest inspiration was probably all the graphics/gifs coming out of the Kingdom Hearts fandom though.

13. Where or from whom did you learn how to gif?

Basically everything I've learned came from googling tutorials and finding links on tumblr. I think a few aspects of learning how the timeline worked came from making animations & cinemographs in my graphics class, but if I ever wanted to learn a specific technique or was having an issue with my exporting, I just kinda googled things and dug around until I found what I was looking for.

21. PSDs or original coloring for each gif?

oh I have to make the coloring from scratch every time skjskdhfkdsf; I don't think I even have a generic, catch-all base PSD I use. Only if I'm making a set with similarly lit scenes will I make a base PSD for other gifs, but rarely will I ever use it for a different set.

26. How many un posted sets are in your drafts right now?

None actually 😶 I actually only use my drafts to test out how gifs will look and move on the dashboard + how the gifs will look lined up together; I think the only time I finished a set and didn't immediately post it was when I had done work for a fandom event and was waiting to post on a specific date.

29. Have you ever posted a set, realized you made a mistake later but it was already too late?

omg I don't think so, but I did delete my initial post of a set that I uploaded during the whole tag debacle of early 2022 (the yennskier nicknames one actually, lol), but I had already linked it in a few places, so it had already started to be reblogged and now I just can't see any interactions on it in my feed 😔

32. What is your favorite tool/adjustment layer in Photoshop?

Selective color my beloved omg. Though lately I've been doing a bit more similar color adjustment stuff with the Hue/Saturation layer, and have been figuring out how Channel Mixer works, so those are getting up there. Also can never go wrong with a black + color gradient map sdfdsfds

33. Do you like to/can you make edits and graphics too or only gifs?

I used to do edits/graphics on Instagram, and I probably still could do it to some degree? But I've been gif-focused for awhile now, and I actually used to use free online editing websites like Ribbet and PicMonkey for my old edits because I couldn't get access to Photoshop, so I feel like I would need to recalibrate in a way sdsdfsdfds.

42. How is your gif folder organized? Is it organized at all?

It always starts organized whenever I venture into a new fandom. Then I make a ton of other things, and ton of test PSDs and test gifs and whatnot, and now everything is in at least 5 different folders. Tbh this is just a really good reminder for me to start clearing out things I no longer need and to fix up my folders a bit lmaooo

49. How much would you say you’ve improved since you first started giffing?

So much omg??? And like, I'm definitely extremely critical of my stuff, and honestly have so many crying fits over being unable to get the sharpening/speed/coloring of a gif working well in its final state. But I think about the first gif I ever made, just a simple cut from a show with no tweaking whatsoever, to the kind of things I'm able to make now and am just so 🥺❤ And I was proud of a lot of the things I made in the last year, but now that I've recently been able to get a handle on a lot of the issues I've been having, I feel like what I make accurately reflects my ability atm, and I'm genuinely having fun with giffing again 💗

#tysm for the asks!!#going through my tags and finding edits i completely forgot i made and just feeling so !!!!!#i need to gif toa again and get back to giffing the witcher #i'd love to gif more things but i need to get an external hardrive sdfsdfds #asks #editing #long post #frostyviking

ok pls dont take this in a negative way bc this is genuine curiosity. i am a larrie, have been since 2012, but i have a really hard time processing babygate. the fact is that there are conspiracy theories about fake babies with celebrities, benedict cumberbatch for example, that i find to be fan hysteria and not rooted in any truth. so i just feel very uncomfortable believing that this child is being used as a prop to closet a man. pls keep in mind i am a larrie, i do not believe louis is a straight man, and imo there is absolutely no alternative explanation for rbb and sbb other than it being harry and louis behind them. ive heard it before that if you believe louis did in fact father a child, while not in a relationship with harry at that time, then youre not a “real larrie” which deeply upsets me. why do you think that is a belief and do you think its true? btw i do really like your blog as i am a skeptic too, thanks <3

Hi dear. Yeah I totally understand that when we hear things like fake babies and fake pregnancies it sounds absolutely crazy... and it is! LOL No one is saying that is not insane. But like a lot of people who send me asks, I think you're coming from a place of lack of knowledge because you simply made up your mind about something you think it couldn't possibly happen, instead of actually looking up into it before.

As for not being a "real larrie" I mean... that's on you. But you say you're here since 2012 and think larry is real and okay, good for you. But it makes me think that your beliefs are quite questionable, why do you think larry is real in the first place? Because although babygate is a theory that stands regardless of larry, the other way around doesn't make any sense. How can you see the rainbow bears and believe it was Harry and Louis and completely dismiss the times they foreshadowed babygate. And between the two of them, they hinted so much about babygate over the years, anon. I don't mean to disrespect you by saying that but I can totally tell from the way you're talking that you did little to no research about babygate. Honestly you should just ask yourself why is that. What are you afraid to find if you do. What I'm trying to say is that it sounds incredibly hypocritical of you to acknowledge every cryptic shit implying Larry is real but then when it comes to babygate you choose to ignore because you already made up your mind deep down and you have a hard time processing it. You're being selectively blind lol 👩‍🦯

And like listen... I have no idea about Benedict Cumberbatch or other babygate theories, and I don't really care about that or how people perceive those kinds of theories to be completely honest. I would rather simply be truthful. But if there is one thing I learned over the years in this fandom is that anything is possible in the name of greed, money, fame. And I think that with everything Louis put on his "Just Like You" music video it should be more than enough to realize what kind of things we are dealing with here. So please, if you're honestly confused, do yourself a favour and go click the links, read the posts, see the pictures... and then you can make up your mind about it, if you want to keep being "skeptical" that's completely fine, but there is no such thing skepticism when you don't even know what something is about, that's just being dumb. So don't be that person, my love.
