tell your friends that you fucking love them. it’s not overused, it doesn’t lose its meaning. people live their while lives feeling they’re lost out in space. we all go through life leaning on each other. tell your friends that you love them.

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

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:

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).

yeah…

i started making some gifs several years ago, and learned just enough about it to realize that it was way too big a pain in the ass and i didn’t have the patience. gifmakers deserve all the respect.

I made it

In case you need the reminder

Dumbledore and all the deep shit he’s always saying--

Dumbledore: For in dreams we enter a world that is entirely our own; let them swim in the deepest ocean and glide over the highest cloud–

Snape: lol wat

Dumbledore: To the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.

Harry: omg I don’t want to go on this adventure

Dumblefore: I am not worried Harry. I am with you.

Harry: i’m 16 pls be a little worried

Dumbledore: Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open

Krum: vot did he said?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 3,000 FOLLOWERS! Wow!!! I don’t know how so many of you ended up finding me or why you decided to stick around, but please know that I am incredibly grateful to each and every one of you for your support, asks, messages, likes, reblogs, replies, the whole nine yards. I could write an entire novel on how much each and every one of you mean to me, and probably will later, but in the meantime… Here is a little Drarry sketch I did last night that I didn’t want to color in (yet), because it’s been awhile since space buns!harry made an appearance and y’all know how much I love space buns Harry :’)
