What I love about hozier's music is that, to me, a lot of his songs aren't instant hits - instead, they grow on me. And they grow HARD. Often it will take me multiple replays to truly get a song and for things to just click, especially when it comes to the lyrics. I'll be listening to a song I had thought sounded alright but that I hadn't been vibing with completely for the 11th time, and suddendly a specific lyric will sink in and make so much fucking sense, and I will feel that in my soul -- me actively falling in love with it.

"Shrike" was one of those songs for me. I just couldn't really get why so many fans were so attached to that song specifically at first. Or at the first ten times I listened to it. But then at some point, I just became utterly obsessed. And now it's one of my favorites and makes me so emotional? It's crazy.

Are all hozier songs enchanted? Is he casting a spell on me with every listen? Absolutely magical.

as promised! i might make an updated list, but these will keep us shippy fools going for a while! in the meantime, if you think of other ideas to add to the list, don't hesitate to let me know!

[ HAIR ] : as they kiss the receiver, sender tangles their fingers into receiver's hair.

[ WAIST ] : sender catches receiver around the waist right before they kiss them.

[ GRAB ] : impulsively, sender quickly crosses the room to where the receiver is standing, grabs them, and pulls them into a passionate kiss.

[ BRUSH ] : just before kissing them, sender tenderly reaches up and brushes a strand of hair away from receiver's face.

[ CUP ] : gently cupping the receiver's face in their hands, sender guides them into a tender kiss.

[ ARMS ] : sender holds receiver in their arms while they kiss them.

[ THUMB ] : sender gently runs their thumb across receiver's lips before leaning in to kiss them.

[ PULL ] : sender pulls the receiver close against them as they kiss them.

[ PIN ] : sender pins receiver against a wall and begins to kiss them.

[ STRADDLE ] : sender straddles receiver while in the process of kissing them.

[ TUG ] : sender hooks their fingers in receiver's belt loops, and tugs them in for a kiss.

[ GAZE ] : right before the kissing begins, sender gazes at receiver's lips, then back up at their eyes, waiting for them to make a move or give confirmation.

[ NECK ] : sender brings a hand up and rests it on the back of the receiver's neck, pulling them in for a kiss.

[ LAUGH ] : sender can't help laughing in the middle of the kiss.

[ POP ] : a la "the princess diaries", sender is so absorbed in the kiss, that their foot involuntarily lifts off the ground.

[ BREATHE ] : sender has to force themselves to stop kissing the receiver to take a break to breathe.

[ LIPSTICK ] : after the kiss ends, sender pulls away to reveal that the sender/receiver/both have lipstick marks on their face afterwards.

[ FOREHEAD ] : following the kiss, sender gently rests their forehead against the receiver's. basically a forehead touch but like. post kiss.

[ ANOTHER ] : following the first kiss, sender places another brief one on the receiver's mouth.

[ LEAVE ] : having just given the receiver a kiss of a lifetime, sender leaves the room, leaving the receiver to wrap their head around what just happened.

hi! first of all i wanted to say i'm obsessed with your shadow and bone gifsets (all your gifsets tbh, you're super talented!), i was wondering how you were able to get the glitches on this gifset to be green & yellow like that? i just can't figure out how to change the colors like that using my normal method of using the rgb channels and i love the way the green and yellow works: /post/712882007539171328/and-yet-they-hesitated-the-knowledge-that-they

Gosh, thank you so much. You'd think after years of doing this, I'd be a little more equipped to handle compliments, but I still get flustered like it's the one of the first times all over again.

The set in question for anyone else wondering or trying to mess around with 3D/glitch effects and changing up the colors. And here is another example.

Hopefully this makes sense (and feel free to reach back out if it doesn't!) but I don't actually touch the RGB channels at all—or, at least, not later on in the process to actually shift the colors around. First, I do the default setting for the basic 3D effect, which is just the channel for reds activated:

And then this is where the Hue/Saturation adjustment comes in handy. Because red and cyan are already such isolated color points, it means it's a piece of cake to shift both around as you see fit. I knew the final products (with the film and light leak overlays) were going to be orange-yellow and green, so I shifted my Reds to the right to be more yellow and my Cyans to the left to be more green.

As another example, here's pink and purple:

Keep in mind that working with a B&W base also makes things exponentially easier and that won't always be the case. Obviously, when your base gif isn't black and white, there are going to be reds and/or cyans (or greens and purples, if you tick off the G channel; or blues and yellows, if you tick off the B channel) so it requires a bit more effort and work in making sure that only your glitch layers are affected.

how to find literally any post on a blog in seconds (on desktop)

there are so many posts about ~tumblr is so broken, you can’t find any post on your own blog, it’s impossible, bluhrblub~

I am here to tell you otherwise! it is in fact INCREDIBLY easy to find a post on a blog if you’re on desktop/browser and you know what you’re doing:

url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant. every single post, every single time. in chronological order starting with the most recent post. note: it will not find #croissants or that time you made the typo #croidnssants. for a tag with multiple words, it’s just /tagged/my-croissant and it will show you everything with the exact phrase #my croissant

url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant/chrono will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the exact phrase #croissant, but it will show them in reverse order with the oldest first 

url.tumblr.com/search/croissant isn’t as perfect at finding everything, but it’s generally loads better than the search on mobile. it will find a good array of posts that have the word croissant in them somewhere. could be in the body of the post (op captioned it “look at my croissant”) or in the tags (#man I want a croissant). it won’t necessarily find EVERYTHING like /tagged/ does, but I find it’s still more reliable than search on mobile. you can sometimes even find posts by a specific user by searching their url. also, unlike whatever random assortment tumblr mobile pulls up, it will still show them in a more logically chronological order

url.tumblr.com/day/2020/11/05 will show you every post on the blog from november 5th, 2020, in case you’re taking a break from croissants to look for destiel election memes 

url.tumblr.com/archive/ is search paradise. easily go to a particular month and see all posts as thumbnails! search by post type! search by tags but as thumbnails now

url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio will show you every audio post on your blog (you can also filter by other post types). sometimes a little imperfect if you’re looking for a video when the op embedded the video in a text post instead of posting as a video post, etc

url.tumblr.com/archive/tagged/croissant will show you EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant, but it will show you them in the archive thumbnail view divided by months. very useful if you’re looking for a specific picture of a croissant that was reblogged 6 months ago and want to be able to scan for it quickly 

url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio/tagged/croissant will show you every audio post tagged with the specific phrase #croissant (you can also filter by photo or text instead, because I don’t know why you have audio posts tagged croissant) 

the tag system on desktop tumblr is GENUINELY amazing for searching within a specific blog! 

caveat: this assumes a person HAS a desktop theme (or “custom theme”) enabled. a “custom theme” is url.tumblr.com, as opposed to tumblr.com/url. I’ve heard you have to opt-into the former now, when it used to be the default, so not everyone HAS a custom theme where you can use all those neat url tricks. 

if the person doesn’t have a “custom theme” enabled, you’re beholden to the search bar. still, I’ve found the search bar on tumblr.com/url is WAY more reliable than search on mobile. for starters, it tends to bring posts up in a sensible order, instead of dredging up random posts from 2013 before anything else

if you’re on mobile, I’m sorry. godspeed and good luck finding anything. (my one tip is that if you’re able to click ON a tag rather than go through the search bar, you’ll have better luck. if your mutual has recently reblogged a post tagged #croissant, you can click #croissant and it’ll bring up everything tagged #croissant just like /tagged/croissant. but if there’s no readily available tag to click on, you have to rely on the mobile search bar and its weird bizarre whims)

We don’t appreciate the fact that Bruce Wayne is a Kardasian level celebrity enough. Everyone knows him. I want more one shots and crack fic moments where the League (Pre identity reveals) just openly talk about Bruce Wayne in front of Batman.

Just imagine them playing fuck, marry, kill with famous actors and such and throwing Bruce into the mix. And Batman just sits there, silently suffering as he listens to the reasons why Flash and Lantern would marry, fuck, or kill him. He prays they choose kill. They don’t.
