why jessica left the group?
page of swords (rx) + 7 of swords (rx) + 4 of wands + the lovers + 4 of swords + 9 of pentacles (rx) + queen of swords (rx) + king of wands + wheel of fortune (rx) + knight of cups
jessica was doing something the company didn't like. I think she had started her own fashion business in those days, right? and that annoyed sm. it was all very rushed. jessica was very excited about that project, but this also caused her to be kicked out of the group. I feel that the members and all her friends in the company were very disappointed when this happened. after sm made the decision to kick jessica out of the group, they lied and tried not to give any statements about the situation. she felt very disappointed and hurt, as she was not allowed to be free and do what she wanted the most. even though her members were sad about her friend's departure, they still supported her! jessica took that opportunity to rest and rethink what she was going to do with her career. there's deep pain and anger here from jessica towards the company, as she loved what she was doing with snsd, and so she made the decision not to give up and continue with her music career, even if sm put obstacles in her way. it may be that her resentment for that horrible situation she experienced has led her to cut off her relationship with the girls and it's very likely that jessica has felt betrayed by them in some way as well. there's a feeling of revenge here from her.
how did jessica felt about it?
10 of swords (rx) + 6 of pentacles (rx) + 4 of cups
subconsciously, jessica already saw everything coming. it was inevitable that the company would not be angry at what she was doing. however, the betrayal had to happen for her to heal somehow. I feel that there were certain things that jessica didn't like about the company, but she ignored them in order to continue doing what she loved. she put a lot of priority on recovering emotionally and reinventing herself as an artist. jessica felt that what sm did to her was selfish and she was so hurt by it. she may have questioned her ability as an artist after being fired. as I said before, jessica thought a lot about what she was going to do with her career and she could have gone through very difficult times where she could have isolated herself from society. she was going through a very important process to find herself again.
how does jessica feel now?
6 of swords (rx) + 5 of cups + the chariot
like I said before, jessica still hasn't overcome everything that happened to her... however, she was able to continue doing what she likes. I also think that in some way or another she wants to seek revenge 💀
how did the members felt about it?
ace of swords + 4 of pentacles (rx) + the star
I feel there's kind of a control by the company over the girls. there could also be a kind of threat to them, where the company would have told them something like "if you talk about what happened or if you do something similar to what jessica did, you will leave the group as well"... it's as if they have no choice but to do what the company told them and continue with their career.
knight of pentacles + the lovers (rx) + the hanged man
taeyeon ⇢ she felt sad and may have thought that the group would not be the same without her. taeyeon is the leader of snsd and, as the leader, she had no choice but to keep working and keep leading the group. there's a sentiment here of "I have to do a good job no matter what".
3 of pentacles + wheel of fortune + the world
sunny ⇢ well... I think sunny was too happy about jessica's departure 💀 she thought that now they could work as a team and that progress would come faster without her. she also felt that the group dynamic would be even more harmonious now. sunny was like "well... it is what it is" lol.
the emperor (rx) + knight of cups (rx) + 5 of swords
tifanny ⇢ there's a mix of anger and sadness in this reading. tiffany didn't like AT ALL what sm did and there was a lot of resentment from her towards the company and it seems that she will never forgive them for doing that to her friend. it seems that they were very close that she was sad that jessica left snsd :(
ace of wands + 8 of cups + the chariot (rx)
hyoyeon ⇢ another member who was sad when jessica was kicked out of the group. it seems that she was happy for what her collegue was starting to do, since she seemed very determined and passionate… however, when the company announced her departure, hyoyeon thought that it would be impossible to continue without her :(
the sun (rx) + king of swords (rx) + knight of swords
yuri ⇢ there's a deep sadness here on yuri's reading. the departure of his colleague affected her a lot and I think she had a hard time overcome it. she feels that sm did all that thinking about what would be best for the company, but they never thought about how that would affect their fans, jessica and the group itself. she feels that the company was very cruel and cold in making that decision. yuri also thinks that sm lied not only to jessica but also to the other members somehow. despite the great sadness she felt, yuri decided to continue with his career and try to ignore the hardships.
7 of swords (rx) + ace of swords (rx) + 10 of swords
sooyoung ⇢ THE TEA. I feel that sooyoung had something to do with jessica's departure... I think she may have given personal information about her colleague to the company and this caused jessica to be fired. I think they didn't get along very well and I feel that each one has very personal information about the other that they can use against each other if they want to. after jessica's departure, sooyoung may have felt threatened by the things jessica might reveal about her.
page of pentacles + 10 of wands + the moon (rx)
yoona ⇢ interesting... I feel like some of the members manipulated yoona to thinking that jessica didn't contribute anything good to the group and that she was just a burden to the group. however, when her colleague left, yoona realized that everything was a lie and felt very sad for having believed everything that the others said. jessica and her had a very nice friendship, but something happened in the middle that made some of the girls start treating jessica badly and brainwashed yoona to believe them and to being on their side.
queen of wands + knight of pentacles + 4 of swords (rx)
seohyun ⇢ I think she didn't pay much attention to jessica's departure 💀 seohyun felt very stressed at that time and could only think about her work. I think she had a lot of projects in those days that made everything that happened with jessica go unnoticed by her.
how do the members feel now?
8 of cups + 9 of swords + the empress
through the years some of the members feel guilty about what happened... others can't get over jessica's departure and are still angry about what the company did to her. all of them want the best for jessica now and it's very likely that all or most of them have become friends again with her or at least are in touch with jessica again.
6 of swords (rx) + 4 of wands (rx) + the hermit
taeyeon ⇢ it seems that there are unresolved issues between them that are difficult to overcome. taeyeon may not know why her relationship with jessica could never prosper, but what is certain is that they do not speak to each other. there's a lot of tension here.
the sun (rx) + the empress + death (rx)
sunny ⇢ she feels very sorry for how she approached the whole situation at that time. sunny wants the best for jessica and she feels very sad that she couldn't have reacted differently when it all happened. I also feel that she's afraid of getting close to her in some way. like I said, there's a lot of regret on her part... even shame.
queen of cups (rx) + the world + 9 of swords (rx)
tifanny ⇢ this made me laugh, ngl BFNDJIF. when all that happened, tiffany was very supportive of her friend… to the point that she could have been very suffocating lol. now, over the years, she's very proud and happy for all that jessica achieved. I think that tiffany has to take a step back in certain situations, especially in the artistic field, and let jessica do what she wants to do. what I mean by this is that I feel that she can give her friend a lot of advice, but she also has to understand that they are two different people and what jessica wants to do may be something totally different from what tiffany does in her job. idk if I'm explaining myself very well, but something like that is what happens here.
death + 9 of pentacles + page of swords (rx)
hyoyeon ⇢ she thinks that after the departure of her collegue, a cycle that made the two of them and the whole group grow professionally and personally ended. she's so happy for all that jessica achieved independently and hyoyeon admires the great work she did… however, something happened here. I feel that hyoyeon is still very disappointed by how the company handled the whole situation, but she also feels disappointed by her collegue, since the two parties made the scandal bigger and bigger and she considers that it was unnecessary. she's upset that jessica started to reveal things or drop hints about the things that she lived with the other members, since she thinks that, since all this happened a long time ago, everyone should get over it by now.
knight of wands (rx) + queen of pentacles (rx) + page of swords (rx)
yuri ⇢ yuri feels disappointed. at that time there was an imbalance in both her work life and her personal life and she was not getting the results she expected. even though she was very angry about jessica's departure, yuri now feels disappointed, as I said before. just like hyoyeon, she didn't like that the scandal got so big and people still didn't get over what happened. she's also disappointed in jessica for dropping hints about the group and exposing things that she experienced with the members.
ace of pentacles (rx) + 3 of pentacles + 2 of wands (rx)
sooyoung ⇢ she feels guilty about what she supposedly caused and feels that the problems they had between them could have been solved in another way. now sooyoung wants to contact jessica, but it seems that she doesn't take the initiative to do so as she's afraid of how his colleague might react. if sooyoung really wants to improve her relationship with jessica and work things out, there's a good chance they'll reconcile.
7 of pentacles (rx) + the sun + king of cups (rx)
yoona ⇢ I think yoona surrounds herself with manipulative people and/or is easy to manipulate lol. she thinks that the public focused so much on jessica's departure that they didn't pay as much attention to the group when they promoted as eight. that's why she decided to do other things besides performing with snsd. she's happy for jessica, however she feels a little hurt by everything that happened with her. I don't think they talk to each other now.
10 of cups (rx) + queen of cups (rx) + the star (rx)
seohyun ⇢there's a mixture of anger and sadness on her part. seohyun thinks that the relationship between them and jessica has been broken a long time ago, as there was a very tense relationship. seohyun feels betrayed by jessica and she's not interested in recovering her bond with her.
I got an ask for gif-making, but as I don’t have my ask box open to anonymous/private messaging open to public, I figured I’d answer all questions in one go. Sources, DL links, and sharpenings too. There aren’t that many secrets to gif/content creating, I hope this will be a good resource!
Software I am using : Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended (but those who are not using extended version can also make gifs, ofc. ^_~)
There are two ways to make gifs : through Importing video in Photoshop and through Loading screencap files in Photoshop.
Option 1 : Importing Video in Photoshop
Open the software.
Windows > Animation
File > Import > Video Frames to Layers > Choose the Video you’ll gif > Select Range Only, then hold down shift key while moving the slider to capture the part you want to gif.
When you’re satisfied with it, click OK.
You’ve now made a gif, you can must modify it :
Set time delay : Select All Frames on Animation Panel, then set the time delay… (I, personally, use 0.1 mostly)
Resize : Image > Image Size > Set width size x adjustable (vice versa) > OK.
Sharpen and save your gif : Of course you have to sharpen your gif so it will not look shitty same as saving~ A good sharpen and saving settings is a key for a nice quality of gif~ Here’s a separate tutorial for it (since we have PS and PS Extended Version). (TUTORIAL)
Option 2 : Loading screencap files in Photoshop
Open the software.
Windows> Animation
File > Scripts > Load Files into Stack > Browse > Choose the screencaps you’ll gif > OK.
Animation Panel arrow > Make Frames from Layers.
Then proceed to Step number 5 above.
