i like making my own attack borders, but as i have so many friends in other teams this time, i decided to make one for all three!
i personally prefer having more vibe and color based borders that take inspiration from the themes so they are bit more subtle in design
they are F2U, i don't require any credit, but it would be very much appreciated still! you are also free to let me know if you use them down below!
i hope you enjoy them and that everyone has a fun artfight this year!!
for anyone who doesn't know how to apply them, i've written a quick tutorial below on how i've been doing it (that applies for any animated border meant for artfight attack thumbnails):
download your desired border gif
go to ezgif.com/maker and upload both the border gif and a square image of your attack thumbnail
if the website asks if you want to automatically resize all images to match the smallest one, then press "rezise"
move the thumbnail to be the first frame in the series
check the boxes shown in the screenshot below
press "Make a GIF!" and boom! you have your attack thumbnail with an animated border as a gif
if the speed is incorrect, you can adjust it by changing the number in "Delay time" and remaking the gif until it's right for you
download the gif of the animated thumbnail and when uploading an attack, choose that file as your thumbnail!
there may be other ways to add animated borders, but this is what i've been doing since last year. hope it helps anyone who has been struggling with it!
It's ArtFight!! Same deal as always, these are free to use anywhere. I appreciate credit either here or to ~baubleBee on ArtFight. Below the cut is a link to the Ko-Fi download for the files and some instructions on how to use!

I recommend using Imgur for these if you want to paste them into your bbcode. Tumblr does weird stuff to them if you use a link from here.
TO ADD TO YOUR PROFILE WITH BBCODE:

robbyās suicidal ideation is so much scarier this season than last. last season we were inside his head. this season weāre experiencing him like the people around him areātemperamental & selfish & basically given up. heās pushed the audience away as much as he has anyone else.
i feel like the visual storytelling is really supporting that in a few ways; we're not accompanying robby into private, quiet moments anymore, we don't see his flashbacks and the way they affect how he treats the people around him in their aftermath, we're not seeing him try to stay calm & collected for other people's behalf.
and as robby's behavior likely becomes more erratic and angrier as the day goes on, as he pushes the people that love him further and further away... it's going to be interesting to see if the show frames that kind of breakdown. because it's just as much of a mental health crisis, but it's a significantly less easy one for the audience to sympathize with when the show is keeping us at arm's length.
i think that that's an immensely interesting storytelling decision and i am really, really excited (and terrified) to see how it unfolds.
