🔥🔥🔥 1, 7 and 22 to induce a bit of violence, please. 😈

7 is answered here!

1. the character everyone gets wrong

maybe not everyone but I think Bodhi fits this category. a lot of people has already talked about this, and I don't think I'm the best person to get into it now, but the infantilization of Bodhi has always been an issue. give him a goddamn backbone, he's so brave!

22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores

this one's difficult, I honestly couldn't think of something that really fit this? I could say Festian Cassian but honestly, that doesn't even fit perfectly either because it's technically not canon anymore (rip) and a lot of people do still use this background. it's the only thing I could think of though 😭

Hiiii, D, K, R, W and Y for the fandom asks, please? (For JATP in case specific fandoms are required.) ♥️

Hiiii! Thank you so much for the ask, Ani!💜

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can't.

I spent quite some time debating whether this question should be considered fandom-specific ... or not. But then I realized there is no canon-pairing in JATP that I dislike. I love Juke; I adore Willex. I can even accept the semi-canon pairings (Lalex, Flynn/Reggie). 

So, I go with my previous/cold/passive fandoms - that would be Souma and Erina from Food Wars!/Shokugeki no Souma. I tried a few times to like them - they were the main canon ship, after all. I'm supposed to enjoy them, right? But damn, those two had ZERO chemistry. 

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

Okay, I do one for JATP and one for my other fandoms. 

JATP: Since Julie and Luke are the only characters that got character development (well, Alex got a smidge, too, but not much), it's a tough decision between those two. I'm inclined to say Luke, though, since his character development made me reevaluate my initial assessment of his character. 

Considering all my fandoms, it's Tsukishima Kei from Haikyu!! His character development moved me to tears.🥹

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?

You want me to choose?! You want me to choose between Julie & Flynn, Sunset Curve, the Molina family bond, and Julie and her Phantoms?! 😱😭 

I LOVE them all. 

But the Reggie & Ray (and Carlos) friendship has a special place in my heart. It's so funny; it's so heartbreaking. They deserved more bonding time.😭

W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.

A/B/O dynamics, next-gen, characters watching the show ... There's a long list. Oh, and it should go without saying, but any dubious consent sex tropes.

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren't in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

Hehe ... there are so many! Nancy Drew, for sure. (I know there's Nancy, I know there's Ace, I know they're in love. That's the plot, right? 🤓)

Then there's Ted Lasso, which I still have to finish. A lot of K-Drama. Percy Jackson, which I'll check out when the Disney show gets released. And so many more.

Again, thank you so much. 💜😊

ai, i love you for these tags:

Gilroy wanted to tell a story about the rebellion and butchered Cassian's character in the process because let's face it he didn't care about Cassian as a character

because i am SO BITTER about gilroy specifically and the love he receives within the fandom. it's just... you put it perfectly. he doesn't care about cassian as a character and i see it all over the show. thanks for voicing it. ♥️

Aw, Ani 🥺❤️ Thank you so much!

I am BITTER AS HELL that people keep denying Cassian's characterization was retconned (and butchered) in the show. And to add insult to injury, some people act as if anyone pointing that out is delusional. Who is that Cassian-shaped Glup Shitto? because his core traits are nothing like in RO. Cassian is an afterthought in a show that is allegedly about him and I am supposed to thank Gilroy for it? Yeah, no way. Cassian Jeron Andor, selfless rebel, son of Fest and freedom fighter since a very young age, will never stop being canon to me. Y que Gilroy se vaya alv

Hello!! First your Tumblr and edits are so gorgeous! Second I was wondering if you were willing to share how you did the second gif of this edit please? Have a great day! (Or night)

https://www.tumblr.com/thereigning-lorelai/713794704750362624/usergif-1-year-celebrationshuffle-challenge?source=share

hi nonny, thanks for the nice words! really appreciated. ♥️ so, you're looking for this grid effect:

you're starting off with two gifs. i'd recommend choosing scenes that are not too close up because otherwise they'll overlap too much and you won't be able to delete enough parts to make the most of this effect.

so, here's my base gif that i just did in black and white with some minor purple brush strokes set to screen:

i then chose my second gif and coloured it with a purple gradient map and a purple colour fill set to multiply. the colouring of the gifs is entirely up to you and what you think looks best. so here's my second gif, still without the grid:

this is where the fun part starts - the grid layout. i created that with a new guide layout. this is a super neat tool in photoshop that helps you align shapes or selections on your image. the guide lines basically float over it and help you set up symmetric shapes or layouts. you can define how many columns and rows you want to have and then photoshop creates the guide layout for you. for this gif i chose 4 columns and 4 rows:

with this set up, i started creating the rectangles to make the purple gif visible on top of the black and white one. this is my final layout for my shapes:

you can move around the shapes to your liking and what works best with your gifs. i didn't want to cover too much of my base gif but also tried to make their faces in the top gif all be in the gif as much as possible.

this step is just a lot of moving around your shapes and seeing what looks good tbh.

i then grouped my shapes and clipped my top gif (including all layers for the colouring) to my shapes group:

looking good so far. the only thing missing are the lines for the grid. this is where your guide layout comes in again. i just reopened it and then traced the guide lines with my line tool to create the white grid overlay:

(for editing purposes i turned all of the line layers into a single smart object at the end. this is why you only see one layer for all the lines in this screenshot.)

finally, i used a gaussian blur (0,5 px radius, 100% fill for the filter, 40% fill for the overall layer) on the smart layer to make the lines a little bit smoother and softer looking. this is totally optional and again, up to what looks best to you.

added some text et voilà:

#asks #kind nonnies #usergif #*tutorial #hope this helps nonny #if you have any further questions just let me know #i'm not the best at explaining especially because i think my way won't be the most efficient or even logical #but that's how i did it and i think it's fairly easy to achieve

[bethanyactually]

some Nancy/Ace things about the Nancy Drew series finale that I think are great*

Nancy trying to apologize to Ace IMMEDIATELY when he walks into the HistSo

Nancy being visibly uncomfortable at the idea of Tristan being her soulmate

jealous!Ace being so very done

Nancy being totally nonplussed about Tristan talking to and touching her

Ace trying to instruct Tristan in how amazing Nancy is, and how to be a good maybe-soulmate to her

Ace volunteering to be the lifeguard

Nancy being like 'Tristan and I have to be on the verge of death? Sure sounds like a regular Tuesday' and also like 'No, Ace, a dying mind is dangerous, you can't take the risk!'

the curse being A VISIBLE CONNECTION between Nancy and Ace in the mindweave that will always let them find each other (shoutout to @stuckonaglacierwithmacgyver's tags on this post of @thereigning-lorelai's which I am always low-key thinking about)

"Your decision to call to the Sin Eater on my behalf was an act of love."

"Because I forgive you. Nancy, with everything I have, I forgive you."

"I'm not leaving you!"

Ace holding onto Nancy almost the whole time they were exiting the burning HistSo

Ace processing shit on his own, without anyone having to nag him into it! Saying goodbye to Alice! PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE and wanting Nancy to know about it!

Ace not being a dick about Nancy having her own plans! (feels like a very ‘the bar is on the floor’ kind of thing, but still.)

basically a proposal, and a joyful acceptance

a HUG

Nancy affectionately pushing Ace’s hair out of his face while Ace holds onto her elbows

Nancy and Ace honestly admitting they’re scared but want to do this anyway 

A BIG GODDAMN KISS, initiated by Nancy grabbing Ace's face and yanking him into it

a joke in the middle of a kiss

Laughter! Relief! Giddiness!! ANOTHER HUG

Nancy and Ace being basically the same with the Crew they always have been (exchanging glances, nonverbal conversations)

with bonus hand-holding

Nancy kissing Ace’s hand and him barely reacting because it’s no big deal, this is just the way they are

Snuggles with the entire Crew, in which Nancy and Ace are having their own kind of moment yet Ace’s other arm is around Bess and Nancy’s other arm is around George

After four seasons of Ace often looking like he wants to hug Nancy but isn't sure if a hug would be welcomed, Ace initiates a hug--without hesitation! with a smile on his face!!!--and Nancy immediately reciprocates

*I've seen some interesting takes about s4, and the finale specifically, and while of course everyone's entitled to their opinion, it got me thinking about what I loved about the finale. So I wrote a list.

Tagged by Max, Julia and Emmeline 💞 @irlvernon @raplinenthusiasts @jinstronaut to make my own top 10 creations from this year. Thank you so much! love youuu all so much!! 🖤💛💚 🩷 Dokyeom's verses: i wanted to make a tribute to his beautiful voice and what he can do vocally. I thought: how can i show that visually? 🩷 j-hope | Jack in the box in his own words: he did such an instrospective work on his album and i love everything he said about the meaning of his concept and the songs and himself, the choices he made and everything he created 🩷 Jonghyun, his placements + his lyrics: the music and songs he wrote really are amazing and show his soul and feelings and wanted to relate that to aspects of his personality 🩷 Jeonghan, don't wanna cry: i love the music video, but him specially, his performance in it, his outfit, his acting, it's all perfect. I love how this turned out including the translation of his verse 🩷 Top 5 Stray Kids songs: i wanted to make at least 3 of these because there are so many favorite songs of them!!!! 🩷 Performance unit: how their dance feels: since I read that quote i loved it so much, and suddenly i thought of them and how it was so them! and how I love the dancing of all of them but how each one can be so different! but equally amazing and beautiful 🩷 Dokyeom, Xcalibur: How to explain how amazing he is and what he means to me? King Arthur story, legend, and the whole universe around this character has always been so captivating to me. And then the fact that he plays it, that he sings. I love evertyhing about his interpretation and how much life and heart he gives to Arthur, and how much it means to him as an artist :'3 🩷 Tae + why don't you stay?: an unusual mix, but it worked perfect for Esmeralda's present :) I tried to use scenes that made sense with the lyrics, Tae is so expressive and his performance is always beautiful, and can be sad and loving, is full of emotions 🩷Taemin, think of you: this video is really one of the most beautiful, it has so many beautiful scenes that I needed to make a set with a layout that included many gifs, also a little attempt to graphics 🩷Seventeen, talking through dance: I was dreaming about this for so long Taggin' @leedongwook @kveom @kimtaegis @dinoboos @kithtaehyung @thereigning-lorelai @herewegobebe @woozification @itsallaboutzayn @madeline-kahn @donghyuckkies if you want to 🩷

24, 40 and 43 for the fanfic asks, please! ♥️

24. How do you choose whose POV to write in?

ooo i guess it depends on the story! and also who's 'journey' im trying to tell i guess. like, for example, when i tend to focus more on julie and music i gravitate towards her pov because it's easier to explore how she's feeling about it. sometimes i do just picked based on who i think is more fun to write from the pov of tho (i really enjoy writing luke pov because the boy is oblivious to so much while also being incredibly insightful at really specific things which i just find incredibly entertaining lmao) but there has been a couple of times i've started a fic in one pov and realised it doesn't work and had to swap! or done alternating povs which is always fun!

40. What is your favorite world that you’ve created for a fic?

oh the lucky one woodsman luke 'verse hands down! which, i know, mildly controversial given how much i talk about ff!luke but there's just something comforting about the lil lucky one world to me? and i just know there is so much more too it that i could explore if only i could get my brain to cooperate with my ideas smh

43. Is there a trope or idea that you’d really like to write but haven’t yet?

okay so there's two! i would love to write a fake dating fic. it's one of my favourite lil tropes because it's got all the best emotions, the tension, the feeling realisations, the drama, the italicised oh moment, the happy ending! and i do have a wip for one somewhere but idk ive never been able to finish one, maybe one day though!

and the second one is a reincarnation fic! i love a good fated/destiny/soulmates vibe, who'd have guessed! but it's one of those things that would take so much thought and planning and i just don't have the time nor creative juices to do it right :(

thanks for asking!💜

ask me fanfic writer questions!

#thereigning-lorelai #ask #ask game #if only people could live in my head. then they'd see the silly little 3+1 i keeping thinking about of luke seeing julie perform and her no #knowing + the time they perform together in the lucky one verse smh

Oh, I'd like to know your thoughts about Bix for the character bingo. ♥️

this is kinda underwhelming but I don't have a lot to say about her 😭 she could have been utilized better imo, and in that case I think she could have been (may still be) a great character. but season 1 just didn't give us a lot, and I just didn't get attached. very much deserves a hug though!

send me a character
