just. please know. that giffing scenes like that is a fucking nightmare labor of love.

to wit:

bottom's the raw capture, middle's just flat curve correction to make the footage visible, top is the final coloring with /counts seven adjustment layers to add back in Literally Anything But Yellow

every giffer i know does it out of love for the game, but for the record it's not... easy. it's not just slapping the footage in a cap grabber and posting whatever it spits out. "professional" lighting and color grading has only gotten waaay murkier and flatter in the fifteen years i've been giffing on here, so uh. don't repost gifs, please!

I thought the bottom was a black bar. I didn't even realize that was footage.

Everyone say thank you to your neighbourhood GIF maker! Giffers are so important to the fannish ecosystem, but to so many people the amount of work involved invisible.

huh. so i just found out "Torment Nexus" was invented for that one specific meme. i genuinely thought it was from an Orson Scott Welles novel. my ignorance is an unending source of surprise and delight

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

um. Orson Wells. H.G. Scott Welles. H. George Orson Orwell. Philip Bradbury. stop making me keep track of white men names

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

in my defense all of these are separate individuals famous within classic sci-fi circles:

H.G. Wells

George Orwell

(George) Orson Welles

Orson Scott Card

at some point this is not my burden

[wizard-of-interesting-failure]

the names of classic sci-fi authors appear to have amalgamated into a nexus of some kind. one that is tormenting you, perhaps.

POV: Your attempted coup didn’t even get to glance at the front door before the Northern Consort fucking Got You.

There’s just something REALLY fun about sqh getting to be really, stupidly menacing but ONLY when there will be no witnesses to it.

I got lazy when the time came to shade so guess who is now using the fun comic brushes to cheat. I also used another brush for the lineart because I did the sketch in it and trying to thin it out afterwards was hell

Being crazy about a piece of media for any amount of time will leave a weird mark on you forever because years later you’ll see someone posting something about it like “can we talk about this frame” and you’ll be like “ah that frame. i know all about that frame. I was once a scholar of that frame.”
