Instagram story template for GIMP (XCF) ▬ by Joy from @creativexspirit
Like or reblog if you download. Feel free to add/delete/adjust some layers. Please don’t request as your own, respect my work. Don't hesitate to tag me if you use it! I would love to see your edits.
Font used is Bahnschrift (already installed if you're on Windows 10+).

More instructions under the cut.
I use GIMP 2.10 and some layers (or groups) are color coded:
Blue mark: change the color layer to another of your liking.
Orange mark: change the picture by putting another picture in the layer group specified for this pic. (I created a group so you don't have to change the composite mode of your layer upon adding it to your image).
Red mark: change the text.
Green mark: show the layer/layer group or not.
Feel free to display or not elements in the UI section. Per default, everything is selected as in the second preview.
I might add on top of that template later on with things like identification etc, but for now, this will do as I had yet to see some insta story template on Gimp I was satisfied with.
If you have any questions, my ask box is open.

"Still trying to intimidate me? Cute."
(ID: Kirby series fanart of Meta Knight and Galacta Knight based off of a couple dynamics template by @/ReddsMess on Twitter. Original template and source below the cut, as well as a HAL language variant. Top-left panel - high-angle shot of MK lit from above, standing firm and glaring up through his mask, his wings curled out and breaching the panel in places, subtitled "Well well..." Top-right panel - low-angle shot of GK lit from below, looming in the air and leering down through his mask, his wings curled out and his hands spread wide in challenge, both of which breach the panel in places, subtitled "Look who came to see me..." Bottom panel - MK & GK stand next to each other, the latter leaning towards the former and gently caressing the side of his mask with the back of one hand, grinning smugly and wrapping a wing around the knight, subtitled "My Knightmare." MK stands stiffly with his fists clenched at his sides, blushing vividly and glaring away from the warrior. A little flurry of white hearts emanate from GK, while one small one hovers above MK. END ID.)

“We understand that our story is different from yours in many ways and similar in other ways in that we are a hybrid civilization created out of your civilization and another culture from a parallel reality that you have referred to as the Greys. And there being 5 hybrid civilizations of which we are one.
The idea then is that we have our own stories and different kinds of experiences. Some again different and similar to your own.
But primarily where we share most strongly is in the concept of the stories of family because we are connected to you. You are our family in many different ways and so we communicate to you along the lines of understanding that WE ARE FAMILY.
We also understand the commonality between us that we are creators, that we are inventors, we are beings who experience the concept of joy and love and ecstasy just as you can as well and even more than you do already.
But we do not have stories of fear in our world that you may have in your world. We know that fear exists. We know that choice exists. But we simply choose other stories. It is up to you also to learn to choose other stories other than fearful ones if that is what you prefer. You will never lose your understanding. You will never lose your ability to choose the idea of fear. You will actually find more and more ability to choose fear. You will always become more aware of the negative side as you expand the positive, because as you become more of who you are, you become more aware of all possible choices. So the idea is not that fear goes away as a choice. It is simply that the experience of fear is not chosen. That you choose stories that are relevant to the idea of your acknowledgment of yourself as a being of light, your acknowledgment of yourself as an aspect of creation in the way that resonates most strongly with the vibration of your preference in the moment as you choose to exist- in every moment that you choose to experience from a different perspective of the same moment - because it is all one moment.
It is all now every. Every now that you experience is simply the same now from a different point of you. And you tell yourself a different story. And as you tell yourself a story you create the shifts of different parallel reality experiences that you have.
As you tell yourself a story. You create the experience of the shift that you go through from parallel reality to parallel reality. You are designing your experience based on the story you tell yourself that is most true for you - the story you relate to most strongly with your belief systems.
So if you do not prefer the story you are experiencing then tell yourselves a different story. “Tell me another story Mother”, “Tell me another story Father”, “Happily Ever After ” - tell yourself that story. Happily now. Happily ever after.
You will have your challenges. For what is a story without challenges? Because that is one of the resonant points of storytelling. There must be a challenge. There must be transformation. And that is all right. Because in telling yourself the story that way you will tell yourself the story that allows you to know that you have the ability to transform the challenge into something that expands your story, something that works for you. Something that resonates most closely with who it is you believe yourself to be.
Tell yourself the story that you know is true for you. Be the storyteller to yourself just as All That Is is telling itself the story of all that it is - through all of you! Through all of us. Through all beings in creation. It is telling itself the story of who and what it is. Through all the different perspectives it has created itself to be. All the aspects. All the pieces. All the stories. An infinite infinite infinite array of stories is all that all that is is made of. It is one giant experience of a multitude, an infinite multitude of stories and perspectives about itself. Thus experiencing itself in all the ways, in all the stories that it can.
Existence is one big story. Goes on and on and on and never ends. You can decide what aspects of that story you get to experience yourself to be.
Tell yourself the story you prefer to be. For you are an unfolding story. Always, always, always and forever.
On our world we also relate to many different levels of our planet in that sense. What you call the idea of the beings that are like us, and the beings that are not - the animals beings, the tree beings, the rock beings, the star beings, the energy beings, all the different kind of beings. Even as many indigenous cultures on your planet relate to these things as people, relate to these realms, these dimensions, these worlds - as their own stories, different kinds of stories. But you can share their stories as well and the story structure will work for them as well. So when you allow yourself to really understand and learn and master story structure. Being that it is, again, archetypally embedded in your consciousness you will realize it is archetypally embedded in the consciousness of all the other kinds of beings on your planet as well.
So that when you share information or wish to learn information from them if you approach them through the idea of “tell me a story” or let me tell you a story. And learn the idea of how to communicate through story structure it will be easier for you to understand the stories of many other beings as well.
This is the innate template of communication - story structure is what it is called on your planet. It is the innate template of communication.
Practical example of story structure and templating via communicating through a Channel:
Our ships are extensions of our own consciousness. A ship in a sense is a crystallized form of our own higher mind and we are constantly in communion with it in communicating these ideas to you.
The sentence as follows - this is the template by which the ship understands this concept using story structure: “planetary symbol, linguistics temporal, archetypal interactive idiomatic communication”. That is our ships way of saying “your world is getting smaller everyday”,
Breaking it down:
“Planetary symbol” - your world
“Linguistic idiomatic” - an idiom from your own language
to represent archetypal interactivity in a temporal fashion. Your world, in your language, idiomatically is getting smaller everyday. Interactivity is increasing and accelerating.
But that phrase is how our ship translates that story structure using the template in its most raw form. Because that’s all the ship needs to do. There are not the nuances of culture for the ship. The ship is just a raw template format of communication of the raw story structure in its most simplistic archetypal format as far as the ship understands.
This is the process that is going on and us transmitting these communications through that template of the ship, through the story structure our own society understands that our ship uses to translate into the idiomatic phrasing that makes sense and resonates within the Channel’s consciousness to bring up the translations necessary for this communication.
So it gives you a little bit of understanding of the translation processes that go on but still work to tell the story. Even though it may seem very alien and very foreign to you to hear it in the raw template form. And not really translate in that form to you. It automatically, using that template pulls through and from the Channel the idea of the appropriate terminologies that are idiomatically representative in your culture to represent what it is we are transmitting from ours. Because if we were to simply transmit it ,in direct form, as we understand it, the communication would be too alien for you to understand. It would not translate into your language in a way that would make sense as we have demonstrated (with the above example with the raw in a sense template form). Hence a demonstration of how these transmissions occur and why it sometimes takes a little time in your terms of time for channeling to be something that is, shall we say, improved upon, and practiced so that bit by bit as the Channels allow themselves to relax into the story structure of their being, we can pluck the necessary chords more quickly, more automatically, more effortlessly to allow the idea of the template to bring forth from the Channels exactly what needs to be said. More and more fluidly and fluently every single time the Channel allows such things to come through…”

Episode 20: Major Questions
As time passed, Lucy still felt perplexed by her job. She knew Damien wanted to expand the company to other forms of digital media, but to what exactly? And why was he leaving those sort of decisions in the hands of a new hire who he hadn’t even met?
Lucy’s confusion was complicated by the fact that she enjoyed being at Rainy Day. She liked her coworkers and saw a lot of potential in the company. Even with all of the uncertainty about her role, she was still getting paid and it was helping a lot. On the other hand, how could she feel secure in her job when she didn’t even understand what her job was?
Frustrated, she turned to the internet to do some research on Damien. If no one at work could tell her what his expectations were, maybe she could find out from outside sources.
Through her searching she discovered that Damien hadn’t always been so reclusive. He gave a lot of interviews in the past that provided more information about the mysterious entrepreneur. She learned that he grew up in San Myshuno, raised by his widowed mother along with his brother. Apparently his mom had quite the avid interest in computers and technology, but it was hard for a woman to make it in a field like that back in those days.
Now Lucy understood why he was so adamant about hiring women at his company. He wanted to give them the opportunities his mother never had. He also spoke a lot about the lack of representation in the field of anyone who wasn’t a straight, white, cis male.
Looking at her coworkers, Lucy could see that Damien was trying to amend that. She was finding herself endeared to the man, as infuriated as she was by his lack of leadership. She had to wonder, why her? What was it about Lucy that made him think she of all people should be at the helm of all of these big decisions?
Suddenly, it dawned on Lucy that maybe that was never his intention. Parker had said that everyone else who was interviewed declined the position, insinuating that they didn’t want all of that responsibility. But what if that wasn’t what the job was at all? Lucy finally realized what she needed to do.
