Next on my Six(ish) MC Challenge is @kay9leo's lovely MC Iñaki Martinez-Cariaga! I was inspired by these comics of her, especially this one, about homesickness and the grief of leaving everything you know. I wanted to reflect this part of her character, with a little hopefulness in looking towards the future too. Thank you for letting me borrow her and hope you like it!! 💚

Decided to really challenge myself with this one; I've always wanted to make a comic with panels and dialogue, so when I had the idea for the final shot overlooking Hogwarts I knew I had to try it (which is also why it took so long, sorry!!). I had a lot of fun researching, posing, lighting, taking the shots, editing, writing, and compiling it together, but I'll probably have to go back to normal-sized projects for the rest of the MC challenge simply for the sheer amount of work this took lol. I do rock with that last shot though, it's my fave. Might post a BTS if there's interest. 📸💚

First time drawing Garreth, and he turned out kinda tasty 🙂‍↕️🤌

The urge to be Aesop Sharp's dedicated writer...

[itstopplingdomino]

Going to buy a big pack of ice and put it in a bowl. Then I'm going to write my fic until the ice melts. Maybe I'll even put a drink in the bowl with ice so I'll get a little treat afterwards. Inspired by that Tiktok trend.

I'm so happy to see so many new Seb artists in the fandom.

I'm just waiting for the Seb -> Garreth pipeline to take effect.

[itstopplingdomino]

And from there, I'm hoping Garreth -> Richard Jackdaw transition to happen as well

the thing about buck's jealousy vs eddie's jealousy is that it's so revealing of how they subconsciously place themselves in each others' lives. like. for all the jokes about buck being crazygirl jealous these past few seasons, buck has never really been jealous of eddie's actual romantic partners. with shannon, ana, and marisol, buck's been supportive and even suggested that eddie stay with them when he was having doubts. where buck gets jealous is when someone threatens eddie's friendship, his work partnership or his best friend role. it tracks with how buck was jealous of eddie taking his place at the 118 at first too - buck gets jealous when someone threatens an established position that buck feels comfortable claiming with eddie.

meanwhile, eddie never seems to be jealous of buck when he's making friends- he's never been jealous when ravi is buck's partner, or when he talks to hen instead of him, and he was even happy about buck hanging out with tommy when he thought it was a 'boy's night'. eddie is jealous of buck's explicitly romantic relationships- abby, taylor, natalia, tommy post-coming out. he's jealous of the place beside buck that he has subconsciously already claimed as buck's partner. the one exception to this was, of course, the dog, which was buck deliberately baiting eddie and it working, because of course it did.

all this to say that it's not that buck's only jealous of eddie's platonic relationships because he doesn't want a romantic relationship with eddie, but that he thinks on some level that friendship is the relationship he's entitled to with eddie, and because he can't be in a romantic relationship with him (he's straight, and a renter), he has to protect the only kind of relationship he can have with eddie even harder.

if Athena is the one you can’t take anywhere because she’s a disaster magnet Eddie is the polar opposite. you should take him everywhere because chances are he saw whatever’s wrong in afghanistan. like that’s why Hen couldn’t take Eddie up into space. the disaster wouldn’t have happened. Eddie learned how to breathe in the vacuum of space in afghanistan.

i love them your honour. i want to keep writing about them.

[itstopplingdomino]

trying to write a long fic and getting stressed about it then writing a shorter fic as a distraction and now there's plot and more complications so im having ideas to write an even shorter fics — honestly it's like opening the Matryoshka dolls.

progress on mr black

[butternutt613]

No one irl will understand the pain of reading an absolute fire fic only for it leave off on a cliff hanger... and its by orphan_account

[itstopplingdomino]

Going through my AO3 subscriptions list and finding out several of the fics that I've read since chapter 1 been updated for years or now it has the "by orphan_account". Or both..

You know what I really need to happen with Harry joining the fire academy? I need an instructor to make some reference to Buckley and Diaz’s exemplary teamwork, but also pointing out that they’re a couple, so don’t expect that level of closeness with your partner.

Harry then awkwardly raises his hand and says, no, they’re not a couple. Instructor challenges him on this. Harry explains that Captain Nash is— was his stepdad. No he and Eddie are not a thing. Unfortunately.

At this point, the entire lesson is put aside as the instructor summons every LAFD member present to discuss the fact that, instead of Buckley and Diaz’s relationship being a “don’t ask, don’t tell” situation that Nash was doing as a favor to his kid so he and his partner could work together, they’re ACTUALLY not together.

When Harry then corrects them that Buck isn’t Bobby’s secret love child, as they apparently believed , the instructor gives up, grabs a bottle of whiskey from his desk, takes several pulls, and laments that they hate the 118.

Sebastian: If I punch myself and it hurts, am I strong or weak? Garreth: Strong Leander: Weak Ominis: An idiot is what you are

It's been a while since I post something on Tumblr using my phone, so colour me surprised when I saw those pics below... (Cause I really did not recall downloading those pics recently) Then I clicked the gallery option.. Oh! Good to know these specific four pictures of Bucky Barnes in these specific poses are the one I've given Tumblr access to..

Jealous of your lesbian married co-worker for talking to your “platonic” best friend is crazyyyyyyyyy and I would expect nothing less from him

I’m convinced if ppl on this site knew how crappy gifs look before you color them properly, they would appreciate editors more

[thatwasthenightthingschanged]

for context reasons, this is how a gif I used in a recent gifset looks like without any adjustments/coloring whatsoever:

and here it is afterwards:

[5ummit]

I truly don’t think people realize how dingy and dark most movies and tv shows actually are so they can’t appreciate the work and skill it takes to make gifs look the way your brain “remembers” it looking.

Another before and after example:

This gif needed 6 different adjustment layers, not including the sharpening process, which is its own separate challenge. The blue window was also changed to green to keep the palette more consistent and to reduce the range of colors needed, because a wider range of colors generally results in worse gif quality since gifs only support a max of 256 (compared to the millions your monitor can display).

[uuuhshiny]

yeah…

[headspace-hotel]

[missilemaiden]

I always see tags and captions for .GIFs with worlds like “edit” and “my edit” and wondered what edits were even done. Now I know!

[confused-robot-cat]

GIF editors out here showing movie editors how to sort their shit out 

[i-say-ok]

ok..!

[watchyourbuck]

can we talk about how harry’s acting rashly and impulsively and buck recognizes that behavior from when he was younger and now that he’s grown so much and is able to keep calm he knows exactly what to do????? bobby raised him right, he was always going to become the man he is now <3
