Hi I'm sorry if someone asked this before but I couldn't find this question in the faq. Could you maybe tell me how you add the moving overlay? I already downloaded this moving stars thingy but now I have no idea how to add it to a picture

hi babe!  no worries,  i indeed don’t have anything about it in my faq!  just open the star gif &. whichever image you want to use it on in photoshop. if your image is a png or jpeg (the one you want to edit),  make sure to create frames ( click ‘create frame animation’ on your timeline on the bottom - idk what photoshop you have, so i’ll just use cs6 as a reference ) and then convert it to video timeline. 

with the starry gif, select all the frames and layers, click convert to video timeline as well and, still having all the layers selected, make sure to convert it for a smart filter ( you can see this option in the filter tab ). select the single layer you have now and drag it over to your image. 

now you have both in one image! of course, it's not opaque, so depending on the lightness of your main image, you need to select the layer and you’ll see a tab on the right that says ‘normal’. click that and select either darken ( if your background is dark ) or lighten  ( if your image is light! ).  then save for web, make sure it loops forever and make sure you save it as a gif!  and you’re done.

p.s.  if this isn’t clear i think itsphotoshop.tumblr.com has some good tutorials on overlays! good luck

una duda: el oraculo que es y quienes son sus integrantes?

¡Hola, anoncín! El Oráculo es una gaceta que se ha encargado desde hace dos años de contar todo lo que El Profeta esconde (el nombre mismo es una burla de El Profeta). Brindan datos reales, opiniones, entrevistas y mucha información que se oculta por el gobierno. Como tal son un grupo pequeño de personas y muy secretivo. No tienen un líder en sí, sus líderes serían quienes lo organizaron en un inicio. Cabe destacar, claro, que de nuestros personajes en el verse tanto Adrian MacDougal (uno de los líderes) como Daisy Hookum forman parte. Aunque hace unos años realizamos las admisiones para cualquier personaje, si alguien desea que su personaje forme parte de El Oráculo, pueden acercarse a nosotras a platicarlo. Eso sí, es una sociedad sumamente secreta, así que se cuida mucho quien forma parte de ella y los filtros son rigurosos para evitar que cualquier identidad se revele. Que tengas linda noche.

hello! clarifying question; i'm obsessed with this plot. for the divergencies within a same fandom, are we to treat them as if all muses are from the same divergent timeline? with one of the examples you gave, would all thg muses know/experience katniss killing peeta? would peeta them become npc/unplayable? or would they be from separate divergent timelines? thank you!

wahhh, thank you ! also that's such a good question ! i am gonna say that like ... it depends on if the characters come from that divergent timeline. ( this explanation might get kinda convoluted so bare w/ me bc the server is basically just : different timelines, and the fuckery that comes with it loooool. )

the only hunger games muses that would know / experience katniss killing peeta would be those from that particular divergence in the timeline. with that, peeta himself wouldn't be npcified / unplayable -- it just means that peeta is dead in one timeline to another character, even if he's not dead in his own divergence. (or, maybe this is his divergence like it's totally up to his writer.) for a divergence like that, it would probably ripple into ... peeta being dead. of course. katniss not being the mockingjay and the 75th hunger games going differently. this impacts other characters. if haymitch was pulled from this timeline, and his divergence is something like "found himself as the mentor alongside katniss for the 75th hunger games, watching the cycle continue." he def will know something happened.

however, if a writer wrote haymitch and made his divergence that he wasn't reaped, he probably would live a vastly different life to canon haymitch, or even haymitch in the 'peeta died' timeline. he might not even know who the hell peeta is when peeta comes up frantically to him like "omg haymitch bff i'm like, alive!!"

it more or less just depends on the timeline your characters are coming from. and whether or not your characters are from the same timeline or a separate one is something you can plot with your canonmates ! it is quite fun when memories and experiences do and don't align.

ADMIN NOTE ! i've received a few anons giving feedback regarding the diversity rule -- opposed to replying to them all individually, i'm going to just handle this here.

taking all of the feedback into account, for now i will be adjusting it so it's encouraged, vs. as a statistical rule of (for each white muse, you must bring in a muse of color) as i do agree in that : i do not want the statistical part to make diversity seem clinical, or like a "quota" to be filled on someone's roster. it is something i encourage wholeheartedly -- it is not something that needs to be treated like corporate disney would for inclusivity points.

i thank you all for your feedback -- diversity rules can be finnicky and honestly inclusion and representation as rules in rp is never perfect. and, if i need to adjust it again later, i will <3

odd and weird question but not actively attempting to be insensitive:

whats up with the diversity guidelines? ive never seen it in a server before and im just confused as to the reasoning. like is it just an issue with media overall or is it more like an mfrp specific issue to you? sorry if this is too personal of a question but im not opposed just. hming it.

hi! pls don't mind my mobile answer lol — i must admit, the wording of this confuses me a little bit so if i didn't cover what you meant, please lmk!! i can also like totally talk to you discreetly off anon, but if you aren't comfy with it i get it too!

if you're talking about the diversity rules being present in general : the rpc, on tumblr at least with those who use faceclaims in multifandom rps, often have diversity rules present to ensure diversity amongst the cast as the community on tumblr hasn't always been the best regarding diversity. this is something i was looking to implement given our server using irl faceclaims, as from what i've seen its the standard for servers that use faceclaims.

if you mean, are the diversity rules present because of an issue i have or something : no! i put them here as i know its a standard rule that rps using irl faceclaims have again.

and if you mean, the rules specifically that are like "regarding this type of hc" — that's more to cover the questions i have seen asked in the past! i was trying to cover the general basis of what i thought people would want to know but i might've made it look funky or went information overload by accident — the bulk of it is genuinely just, if your first muse is white please make sure your next muse is a poc.

(and, please, if something about the diversity rules sounds weird do lmk!! it's been a while since i've adminned & i 1.) don't use faceclaims and 2.) don't usually implement diversity rules into my illustrated rps bc tbh most muses in there are often not white in their canon so it's never been a problem i have had, so if something seems funky, it's definitely not my intention! i just don't know how to word anything at all. i encourage feedback on things i've laid out.)

Y a propósito de la pregunta del squib... Aceptan personajes de otras razas o híbridos? (Veelas, vampiros, licántropos, etc) Aparte de los canon como Lupin, claro.

¡Hola, anoncín! Sí. De hecho tenemos algunes por aquí o disponibles. Minerva MacMillan es mitad veela, Brigitte Delacour también, y Lorcan d'Eath es mitad vampiro. No estoy muy segura de si aceptaríamos más licántropos, pero otras criaturas sí.

Me surgió una duda... Aceptarían un personaje OC squib??? Sé que muchos squib optan por vivir entre los muggles pero hay algunos que viven entre los magos (como Filch) y bueno nada, se me hizo interesante la idea de un perosnaje squib. Saluditos!

¡Buenas noches, anoncin! Por supuesto que le aceptaríamos. Mientras sea un personaje que pueda jugar libremente en el ambiente mágico, no vemos problema con que sea un squib. De hecho, personalmente, me parece una propuesta muy interesante y me encantaría verle por aquí. Que tengas linda noche.
