Tubbo: I swear to God, Chat - I promise you, if it's the last thing I do, I am going to break up Fit and Pac.

Mike passed the crown of #1 Hideduo hater to Tubbo, and Tubbo took that title very seriously.

[ Full Subtitle Transcript ↓ ]

Pac: I have a date with Fit tomorrow! You know the news, Tubbo?

[ Tubbo's Homophobic Arc ]

Pac: I got a date with Fit tomorrow!

Tubbo: You're - no... You're kidding..

Pac: Yeah, for real! Look - Mike shaved my hair you know, and gave me a new outfit so I can be like, sharp for tomorrow. ...You guys like it? You like it, Sunny?

[Judgemental silence]

Tubbo: That's so cool man, what he hell. That's fckin' sick.

Pac: Yeah, thank you! I knew it, I knew you'd- Oh, thank you, Sunny! I knew you guys were gonna love it, you know? I knew it.

Tubbo: I swear to God- I swear to God- We need to add homophobia to the QSMP, I swear to God- I swear to God-

Tubbo: Guys, I have to do everything in my power to break them up. What do you mean "no"?! This is awful, Sunny! This is awful!

Sunny: But why Pa?

Tubbo: THEY WERE NEVER MEANT TO GET TOGETHER! The stars told me so! They were never meant to actually get together!

Sunny: WHY PA

Tubbo: It's just wrong, Sunny! It's just wrong! I dunno how to explain it to you. It's just wrong!

Sunny: But it's loveeeee

Tubbo: ...If that's what you want to call it.

Tubbo: HOW IS THERE GONNA BE ENOUGH SPACE BETWEEN THEM FOR ME NOW, SUNNY?!

Sunny: You're telling me you've never been in love Pa?

Tubbo: Listen, it's just not right.

Sunny: But I like bodyguard Fit and driver Pac :(

Tubbo: I like them too! They're my best friends! But they can't be together.

Sunny: I think you are projecting

Tubbo: PROJECTING WHAT? HUH!?

Sunny: I will find you someone, Pa.

Tubbo: I DON'T WANT SOMEONE! I DON'T WANT SOMEONE IT ONLY SERVES TO DISAPPOINT ME AND GET MY HOPES UP AND LEAVE ME- LEAVE ME NOTHING BUT A SHELL! A SHELL OF A MAN!

Tubbo: Sunny - They're gonna hurt each other, Sunny- they're gonna hurt each other! And how will there be enough space between them for me now?

Sunny: Why would they do that if they care for each other?

Tubbo: People that care about each other, Sunny, hurt each other all the time! ALL THE TIME!

Sunny: But I care about you, and I don't hurt you.

Tubbo: No, that's different! That's different! The love that we have for each other is unconditional. Ok?

Sunny: Pa, I think you're just scared.

Tubbo: I'm not scared, I'm logical. All flags look red when you're wearing rose-tinted glasses.

Tubbo: [In response to Sunny talking about Aypierre's agreement to build her a statue] You already have a statue! [Sunny hits him] Ow!

Tubbo: What about the one Fit and Ramon made you for your birthday? [Tubbo has an idea] See? Do you think Fit would have time to do stuff like that if he's too- if he's too preoccupied with his little shag buddy? I don't think so! I don't think so!

Sunny: Wait.

Tubbo: See? You see what I'm saying? You see what I'm saying!

Sunny: You have a good point now

Tubbo: See? You under- yes, exactly! We HAVE to break them up! They can still be friends! Fck it, friends with benefits! But they cannot be together. We cannot let them.

Sunny: OK I'M IN

Tubbo: [Claps] I KNEW I COULD COUNT ON YOU! I knew I could count on you!

[Looking at fanart of Pac, Fit, and himself]

Tubbo: We- we have to split them up. We have to fckin' split them up. Oh, but I'm in this one! Oh, that's so-[Realizes it's him crying as a third-wheel] SEE?! SEE?! THEY KNEW! THEY KNEW! THEY FCKIN' KNEW! THEY FCKIN' KNEW!

Tubbo: [In a thick "red-blooded American" accent] Wha- I just don't understand why they have 'ta keep shoving it down our throats! Goddamnit! I JUST WISH IT WASN'T MY SMP! [He hits his desk and laughs]

Dono: Streamer becomes homophobic 'cause he can't get any

Tubbo:

Tubbo: Sunny, I'm just gonna need to brb for a moment.

Tubbo: [Stands up from his desk, walks away, and screams]

Tubbo: I swear to God, Chat - I promise you - if it's the last thing I do, I am going to break up Fit and Pac.

Felice and Wilhelm's text conversation

Since the subtitles only translated the highlights of the text conversation between Felice and Wilhelm in S2E2, I was gonna add it to my Subtext and Culture post, but it's rather long, so I had to break it out into its own post.

F: Here they are, the same dead pixels in all his latest photos on insta. It must have been August who posted the video! W: Thanks

F: God, it's so sick Feels so terrible to be the one telling you W: It's not your fault

W: Thanks for finding out who it was F: Of course <3 How's it going? How are you? W: Honestly, not that well They knew F: Knew what? W: That it was August F: !!!??!? W: But they're not going to report him F: But why?? W: It's so wrong Because it'll be another scandal That he's family, like, makes it worse F: But what so he's just gonna get away with it? W: I don't know...I can't even talk to mom

F: Understand that W: Everything is so fucked F: 🙁 Let me know if you want to talk? W: Thanks Merry Christmas Felice. F: Merry Christmas Wille ❤️ W: ❤️ F: How are you? W: Crap honestly. You? F: Kinda the same, bad vibes at home with mom and dad W: Same F: Have you talked? W: No F: What are you doing for New Year's?

W: Don't know F: I'll probably go to a New Year's party at Stella's if you want to join? W: Is August coming? F: Bleuuuh no W: Haha F: Coming? W: Thanks but I don't think I can manage F: Let me know if you change your mind W: Absolutely F: Happy New Year Wille ❤️ W: Happy new year ❤️ F: When are you back at H? W: Arrive late at night, you?

F: Around 3, Sara is moving in all her stuff as well Does it feel ok with everything? W: No, but better than hanging around here ignoring mom... F: It'll be alright W: Hope so August is trying to apologize. As if!!! F: What an idiot! W: He should get some fucking punishment. F: We'll talk more at school ❤️ What's happening?

(My) Top 5 VegasPete scenes

Listen. Listen. I'm surely not being original here. I'm certain this post has been made before, especially closer to the show airing, but I wasn't here then, and the spoons for such a post came right now, so I'm doing it now. Now, a warning: my choices will make you question my sanity. They will make you wonder wtf is wrong with me for *not* including specific scenes. They will make you question my VP taste in general. I know, I do too all the time, but the thing is, I have *reasons* for every single one being here and I will thoroughly explain, and if you're still baffled, I get it, I am too, but the brainrot works in mysterious ways. So, let's go (very long post incoming):

No5: The pool scene - Episode 14

LOOK, I COULDN'T NOT INCLUDE THIS SCENE OK? I'M NOT THAT STUPID (Pls don't kill me for not putting it higher, I know, it's a crime, I know-). Fun fact: I had seen a screenshot of the point in which Pete says he's hungry, before watching the VP arc, and I deadass thought it was fan subtitles, like a joke, a meme, SOMETHING other than what he ACTUALLY said. It was very funny when I found out the truth. God, this scene is heart-wrenching for all the right reasons. It had everything I could ever ask for and more I didn't even know I needed. I think my No1 reason for loving this scene so much is Pete's desperation to save Vegas and all the ways he showed it. To explain, we have: - him coming to find Vegas after resigning from the main family to be with him, - him being physically intimate for the very first time to such a degree (he fucking hugged Vegas from behind, I lost my marbles when I saw it), - him trying so fucking hard to say "I love you" without saying it, because he can't, it's not sth he can say, but holy fuck will he show in SOME way, - him saying he's Vegas' pet while dying a bit inside but it's necessary goddammit, Vegas won't get it otherwise, he won't understand that Pete *needs* him, - him killing the guy who shot Vegas without hesitation. I wholeheartedly believe he'd kill whoever that person was, even Korn himself, and I love it. ALSO, can we talk about the fact that the scene was dead silent, no music, nothing during their talk, then when hope is on the horizon a soft melody plays and then BOOM, Ink comes just as Vegas gets shot and you feel like YOU got shot along with him. I love the title of the piece, and I love how it gives me goosebumps every single time I hear it, and I love how *tragic* it is, because what we're witnessing is a tragedy, and would remain a tragedy if the hospital scene didn't exist. 10/10 writing, I can't believe this scene is real, I can't believe how lucky we are to have witnessed such a moment.

No4: Vegas hits Pete with the belt + tasers him when he escapes + finds him unconscious later - Episode 11

I am aware that I'm cheating with the last scene but I love it a little too much and it's the continuation of the previous one so I'll add it in. Ok, firstly, I had to include the scene which inspired me to write my first ever meta post in here, guys, it was essential. Furthermore, one thing you should know about me is that I love - what I like to call - "pre-VP VP", meaning VP interactions up to ep 11 (which is my favorite episode, you'll figure out why as we move through the list). It had everything; it had Pete refusing to eat, throwing his philosophy at Vegas' face, it had Vegas lashing out at Pete in a way he didn't even enjoy (he started shouting as he was hitting him to convince himself he was enjoying this but he wasn't, I'm biting my FIST here), we had Pete using the belt to escape, only for Vegas, the fucking SLUT with the loose shirt showing off his TITS, to follow him outside, we had the tasing and the catching and the soft handling of Pete's body as he fell (he totally carried him back bridal style), we had Vegas believing Pete would laugh at him for what his father did (oh Vegas you moron, he would never laugh at you, if only you saw his face when Gun slapped you), we had Vegas freaking the fuck out at a non-responsive Pete, we had it all folks. I've watched these scenes more times than I can count, they're fucking glorious. And the music too, oh God the music. You'll see me scream about the music a lot here, because it's one of the deciding factors in my preferences, so I have to mention it, just as I did for No5. Unfortunately, Shazam hasn't helped me find the first two pieces used in the scene (when Pete is hit with the belt and when he uses it to escape) but I know of the other two, which are Lost Register and Walking the Distance, which are such perfect titles for Vegas, aren't they? I don't have any intelligent things to say about these scenes, I just love them so fucking much, even though Vegas hitting Pete with the belt makes me flinch, even though Pete gets the worst treatment here (minus the ball roasting I guess), I love them so much, because it's the limit that Vegas surpasses, and the realization he did so was incredibly enjoyable to watch.

No3: Vegas tortures Pete - Episodes 10-11

Yes, I did cheat again but technically the two scenes happen back to back on the same day (it's not the same day, Vegas is wearing a different shirt, but we'll pretend it is okay?) and yes, I did put only Pete screenshots here, look at my name, what do you want from me? When I said I have a deep fascination with "pre-VP VP", this is what I mean people. These two scenes solidified my obsession with this specific dynamic of theirs. Pete was so fucking unhinged and it was the most beautiful thing I have laid my eyes upon. There are too many things to mention, I adore them so much. We have Pete not speaking a single line of dialogue during the scene in ep 10, we have ep 11 and Vegas changing his approach, touching Pete in a sexual way which unnerves Pete but he's still not lost complete control, we have Gun hitting Vegas in front of Pete, with Pete putting the pieces together, we have the fucking phone call to his grandma, which is the thing that makes Pete give up and it's wonderful, because after that we have Pete screaming - I love his screams, I've listened to them on repeat, I have issues - and trembling with pure rage as Vegas toys with him. I've watched these two scenes, both for fic purposes and for my own enjoyment, probably more than 30 times at this point and I loved every single one of them. Btw, can we pay attention to the fact that the sneaky bastards over at BOC put a slight variation of Stable Delusion during the moment in which Vegas puts his hand inside Pete's underwear? Because I noticed, and I hope you did too. A lot of VP fans said they truly noticed Pete here, which is fair tbh, even though I was a big fan of his from the start. He truly shines in these scenes and seeing this side of him is delicious every single time.

No2: Pete's breakdown - Episode 13

Fuck my whole existence, what am I supposed to even say here? How am I even supposed to touch upon this scene without losing my mind? How do I explain what this scene did to my brain when I watched it, and kept watching it, and never stopped watching it because it's so fucking important to me? Pff, whatever, let me try. I'll mostly use the music playing throughout the scene to help me describe my feelings about it. The scene basically starts with both Vegas and Pete being lost and miserable, each one for different but interlaying reasons. The music accompanying the scene is called Unspoken, because neither can really say outright what's bothering them, because they're hanging by a thread and it's so, so good. It's heavy and painful and it creates this uneasy feeling in your stomach, accompanied by the visuals. It goes on, until it stops, right as Vegas says "Isn't my fucking life like this because of them?", because of course it does, Vegas is one second away from snapping at Pete, but Pete doesn't hesitate, he says to Vegas the harsh truth: "It's your choice." And then, Vegas drops the noodles - Pete's food, Pete's nourishment - on the floor, and the music playing is called Calculating Catastrophe, which I *only just discovered* and I want to pull my hair out. The dream is gone, no more afterglow, only misery, because Vegas can't handle the truth, because Pete can't handle the lie, because it's all crushing down and Pete can do nothing about it but accept it, accept Vegas' cruelty, accept the knife in his throat. He's waiting to die, he says it, he grabs Vegas' wrist and then, only when he says he doesn't even have his humanity left, does the music resume playing, the OST called This Creed, just as Pete tells Vegas - tells us, the audience - what his "set of beliefs which guide his actions" is, and both Vegas and us watching are dumbfounded, we're as scared for what Pete might do as Vegas is, and it's so painful and so beautiful to witness. The music stops again as Vegas says "No" to Pete being just a pet, and both him and us are breathing a hesitant shy of relief, only for Pete to snap again, to scream at Vegas while showing his handcuffed wrist, to ask "what the fuck is this then?" and the music playing compliments this moment brilliantly, because it's called Absent Cognition and it's a 10/10 fit. And the most brilliant thing here is how they're BOTH HAVING A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CONVERSATION. They're talking past each other and Pete knows, he knows Vegas is stuck on his delusions because he can't do otherwise, he can't, it'll destroy him, but Pete himself also can't do this anymore, he can't stay, he has to go, "I'm sorry, Vegas, I'm sorry" (relevant post to this point specifically because I have lost my mind over it in the past). God, this scene is sosososososo good and so them, and I can't stop watching it, I can't get it out of my head. It's utterly stunning and I love it.

No1: The pill kiss/VP's talk - Episode 11

Ok. I am not normal when it comes to this scene. I have based my entire fucking personality around it since 2022. It makes me emotional every time I rewatch it, it gives me goosebumps just remembering its existence. It's because this scene is the shift in their relationship. It's them finally looking at each other in the eye and truly seeing each other. It's a promise in the shape of a pill, it's a revelation, it's rebirth. Vegas being gentle with Pete for the first time shifted something in me, as it did in Pete himself. Vegas is fighting it a bit at first; he says "Take it" to Pete harshly, demanding Pete take the pill, but when Pete rejects him, his tone gets softer. It almost sounds like begging to me and it's so powerful. Oh Bible, the delivery of some lines feel like a slap across the face, thank you. Little House on the Hill starts playing as Vegas lowers his body and puts the pill into Pete's mouth through a kiss. Even the title of the song is softer, their own little world in a little house, as they're coming closer through a promise that ended up not being kept: I can be gentle with you too. Please take the nourishment I'm giving you. And then he gets up, and sits on the floor, and the show literally gives us VP being on equal ground for the first time, truly equal: both battered and broken and looking at each other. And they talk, and Vegas starts opening up already after Pete asks him what happened, and then A Sky Sparkling starts playing as Pete talks to Vegas about his childhood, about how his father beat him up for losing, and then for winning, and I'm a sobbing mess on the floor at this point. (A Sky Sparkling = Vegas' worldview changing, gaining light, a new perspective. Fuck the titles of these songs have ruined me.) You'd think I'd have the most words about my all-time favorite VP scene, but I'm afraid that's not the case. I'm speechless. It'd given me such a visceral reaction that I simply don't know how to explain myself anymore. All I know is that I'll never get tired of watching it, of thinking about it, of analyzing it in my head. It's everything to me. I love VegasPete so much. At the end of this super long post, that's all I can say.

#this post made me want to do a Top5 Pete scenes too #VP scenes not included #(because obv the Pete moments in those VP scenes are one of the main reasons I chose the scenes I did here)#I'm a simple girl I have biases ok?#but yeah I'll think about it #as for VP #pls don't kill me I know I left out some very important scenes of them #the Hum Bar scene the garage scene the NC scene etc etc #but while they're also deeply important scenes and I love them they don't hit as hard as those I included here #hence me excluding them #but it's ok it's VP I can't not love every single moment we got of them together #it's not like they had hours of screentime lmao #*cries*#kinnporche the series #vegaspete #pete saengtham #vegas theerapanyakul

THEORY TIME

Ok, I dont know about anyone else, but i DID NOT like the way The Metatron glanced at Crowley before he left. Is he planning on doing something to Crowley? Is he gonna do something to Aziraphale as payback for stopping the first Armageddon????

In all honestly, I really don't think The Metatron is what we think he is. If no one has seen or heard from God since she disappeared, why is he the ONLY one to be the voice of God? Something about that just doesn't seem right to me.

What if, in the beginning, Metatron was the voice of God and could actively talk to her. But when God cut all communication and disappeared, what if Metatron is lying about talking to got. What if he got greedy like the other angel's. Without Gods input, Metatron is in charge.

I dont think he liked the idea of Aziraphale and Crowley messing up Armageddon. He knows they are strong together, so what does he do? He butters up Aziraphale, makes him think he's special, and Heaven would be good to him. Metatron knows Crowley would never follow Aziraphale up to heaven. Crowley knows how heaven will always be manipulative and abusive. Aziraphale, on the other hand, can't see it cause he is still the victim of the dysfuncial system heaven is. Metatron tells Aziraphale how kind and good he is, and he is just what heaven needs. He's manipulating Aziraphale. He's the abuser and Aziraphale is the victim.

Whitch brings me back to the picture above. (I even put subtitles on to prove my point) When Metatron tells Aziraphale he wants to talk with him in private, hes spitting them up, which is his whole plan. As soon as Aziraphale turns from Crowley and leaves, Metatron glances back at Crowley and his he glares sinisterly at him before fallowing Aziraphale out. Even the music becomes more tense.

But my point is there is definitely something more sinister going on. I don't think Metatron is how he claims to be. I think his main objective is to split Crowley and Aziraphale up. They are too strong together. And I think its because together they produced one of the most powerful Miracles together when it was supposed to be so small no one would notice. And this Miracle was so strong that it worked. On. Everyone.

I dont think that they are just strong together. They are dangerous together and a powerful threat to Heaven and Hell.

Please feel free to add to this or correct anything!!!

Alright.

I h a v e to know what Padak is about XD

Oh... Oh you sweet summer child, you don't know?

Well I'm glad I can tell you instead of you like, stumbling on this movie and having all of it jump out at you XD

Ok ok, I genuinely love this film and I'll admit, I really want to take a moment to geek out about it. But that would involve in me getting into spoiler territory. So, in case you decide to look for this film yourself, I'll just give you the generalized story here.

The movie is about a lone mackerel, later in the film named Padak for trying to 'padak padak her way to her death' (she jumped out of the tank and was flip flopping on the ground. I'm guessing Padak is Korean for Flip-Flop? It's a good thing this film wasn't Australian, or else she'd be named Thong. I'm sorry) is fished out of the sea and dropped into a tank at a local restaurant, and has to escape back to home, all while trying to convince her new tank-mates to escape with her. Simple plot, right? Well... Here's a quote from the YouTube review that introduced me to Padak that pretty much sums up the whole movie perfectly.

"Imagine if you took the fish tank setting from Finding Nemo and mixed it with the graphic violence from Watership Down, drizzled it in the depressing tone of Plague Dogs, and gave it a garnish of that sushi scene from The Isle of Dogs. That's basically this film on a plate."

Steve Reveiws, Padak

Now, why is the sushi scene prevalent? Because this film takes place in a Korean restaurant where their food is as fresh as possible. Meaning that the fish are prepared and even eaten while still alive. And this film pulls zero punches in showing the horrors of this kind of delicacy (no, I'm serious. A fish is literally cut up and dissected on screen. This movie takes off the kid gloves and throws them in the God damn incinerator). So yeah, there are a lot of images in this film that will be upsetting to veiwers. But this film isn't gorey just for the sake of gore. It tells a genuinely very sad story and will wring out emotions from your heart, and can also be breathtaking with its musical and 2D animated segments.

I'd recommend checking out this reveiw before trying to find the film, though. Even if watching a reveiw is not at all like watching the movie, this guy does censor some of the more extreme gore (like the scene I mentioned above). He doesn't censor all of it, but I think this video is still the best introduction to this movie.

However, if you want to check out the movie, I could only find it on this website https://online.potlockermovies.com/full-movie/padak/ it's free, and it does have English subtitles (the movie doesn't have an English dub), but there are a lot if pop up adds and it's probably going to get frustrating clicking off of them, but this site was still the best I could find to watch Padak.

It's interesting to note that this film does not go in the direction you might expect it to. If it weren't for the fact that I had watched the video above before the movie itself, I would have been just as shocked with how it ended and what happened to our characters as Steve was. But at the same time, the film does establish right away that it's going for more... For lack of a better term, realistic approach. So although the film goes in an unexpected direction, it's also hard to say that it cheated you out of your time to view it.

Again, to try to keep this as spoiler free as possible, I'm only going to sum up the third act in lyrics from the last song of the movie that speaks mountains once you realize it.

Destiny tricks us like fools.

He also gives off a kind of viscious cunning vibe in the movie? Like he's the second in command character that's a bit of a bastard. I think you might like him if you watch this movie. And the old Flatfish who is 'The Master' of the tank.

Oh yeah also, there's this eel (who I think is named Anago? Or Jooldom? His name is never mentioned in the film, however the video above calls him Jooldom, and I've seen people on this site argue his name is meant to be Anago. There isn't much information for this movie online, unfortunately.) who everyone wants to become the next tumblr sexyman. All because of his voice. To be fair, it is a nice voice.

#asks #Padak #Padak: Swimming to Sea #animation #youtube #video #Steve Reveiws #just gonna casually mention here that supposedly one of the deleted scenes involve the eel starting a cult at the end of the film #i did find it here on Tumblr- however there were no subtitles so i cant say for sure what is happening in that scene...#but Anago (and the remaining fish when they catch on) was DEFINITELY telling the new fish SOMETHING SINISTER #also I FINALLY LEARNED HOW TO ATTACH LINKS TO TEXT ON TUMBLR! LETS GOOOOO #(it was literally a fucking button that i never noticed before -_- i feel so dumb but also SO LIBERATED!!!)

Tired Loid Episode German dub!

Yeah that's my preferred title for that episode. Penguin Park what Penguin Park

After Yor thought about how much and how long doctors work, she said "The poor guy" about Loid. Oh Yor you have no idea XD

Hhhhnng every time I rewatch that episode I try to suppress my whumper side and try to not focus on Loid's grunts of exhaustion at the beginning. Every time I fail.

Right before getting into his apartment block, while thinking how he never gets any time to rest, Twilight thinks to himself "Selbst Schuld"... which means "My own fault", practically thinking how it's his own choice to tire himself like that, since he knows how much his spy work requires yet he keeps doing it. It was interesting to add that recognition there.

When the neighbors were gossiping about how Loid must be cheating, one of them said "Men are pigs". Like whoa tone it down a little ok

Seriously though I like noticing the little things they add in. Like later, when the Forgers were just about to leave for the aquarium and Loid was seconds away from collapsing, it went like this:

Yor: Loid, I'm worried. You'd better rest. Loid: I'll live.

Again it's just an interpretation of the story (and even the anime is itself an interpretation since it's an adaptation of the manga) but it's interesting to see how different ones can add stuff but keep it in the same tone. Like, Yor was obviously worried in the original. But it does hit differently for her to voice that worry, and for Loid to actually acknowledge it a bit (an "I'll live" sounds a little more acknowledging than an "I'm alright" because with it Loid recognizes he should actually get some rest, but prioritizes putting up a front for the neighbors and keeping the mission safe).

Right outside the apartment when the first neighbors saw them, they said "We don't usually see you three together" and Loid replied "A lot happened this week but today we're going to the aquarium!" Homeboi has the excuses ready at any moment lol

When the Forgers were walking down the stairs to the underground train station, Anya said "Choo choo!" ADORBS.

After inviting the neighbors to join them in the aquarium, Yor thought "A normal family should get along well with their neighbors. Loid is certainly proud of me!"

No-one tell her.

Anya, thinking: Papa is having a crisis.

I love this episode. I love here how Anya decided to help him with the mission. Who knows how long it would have taken Loid to locate the target penguin if it weren't for her. I think his exhaustion even was having an effect; clear-minded Twilight would have surveyed the enclosure and pretty quickly spot the penguin that couldn't swallow water. But tired as he was, and stressed with trying to keep the pretense of a happy family man in front of the neighbors, it was all weighing down on him. Good thing Anya was there and so happy to help.

In the second part, where Anya is playing with Mr. Chimera and Penguinman, as she plays Director Chimera ordering Agent Anya, Chimera tells her to show their new agent their "Gebeimhasis"... which is a mispronunciation of "Geheimbasis", which means "secret base". The subtitles didn't include the mispronunciation, which was a shame. It's cute to hear the words she messes up. The "ooting" equivalent in the dub is "Spagierzang" instead of the correct word "Spaziergang".

"She is strong, but otherwise useless."

ANYA YOU SAVAGE GIVE YOUR BIMBO MOM A BREAK AIGHT

Right outside Loid and Yor's rooms, Anya thought how in there she could find the perfect "Bombs that go boom". I love that attention to keeping Anya the little girl she is <3

Okay firstly: I forget to post this, which is why I'm only posting it now ^^'

Secondly, these are my thoughts during my own playthrough of Assassin's Creed 2, because I can't talk to anyone in real live about it. You don't have to understand them and don't have to like this post, I just wanted to get them out of my head and maybe someone can relate.

Thirdly, a little warning: this post is longer than the one I posted about AC1 ..

SPOILERS (obviously)

(02.01.2023)

• I like the beginning screen

• YOU CAN CHANGE THE LANGUAGE AND ADD SUBTITLES!!! Big + point

• Ohhh I like the trailer

• LUCY IS BREAKING ME OUT!!!

---

• Well that's one way to introduce us to the new character...

• I like that they use English and Italian words

• Little baby is a fighter

---

• The Eagle Vision can be activated while running!

• (Also the Eagle Vision is different - you no longer see the world from their eyes, which is sad, but I guess this new vision is more practical, because you can see around you quicker)

• YEES FIGHT GIRL!

• You know what, Desmond is asking the right questions. What is the plural of Animus?

• Arrividerci Abstergo

---

• Yes I trust you stranger, who helped me escape, but at first helped the organization that kidnapped me :)

• Where are we (in which country)?

• I like Rebecca - she is a sweethart :)

• I like Shaun - he is a sassy ass :)

• (Also I'M RISKING MY SANITY OK SHAUN! >:( )

• I like Shaun's notice board :)

• "Hello Desmond :) Go away >:)" ... well alright

• (He reminds me of Malik :D)

---

• New loading screen

• Ok, the new world-generating-thing? LOOKS AMAZING!

• HELLO Ezio :D

• And he got the same scar, nice!

• You can see how much damage the enemies have! Awesome!

• I have a big brother! I like him already :)

• I have a life scale now, instead of a synchronizing scale

• YOU CAN LOOT!!! MONEEEYYY!!!

• 609 FLORINS!

• I like the little "beginning" screen before a mission

• An arrow above the head of people makes it easier to follow (and identify) then

• Weird mask (from the doctors) but I kinda like it

• O.o THERE IS INFORMATION?!

• SOOO MUCH INFORMATION :D

• (that is a really nice detail - in AC1 Desmond (and we) were not giving much information. We were just puched in a mission, in a life nearly a thousand years ago, without much useful information. Now though, we can read about the people and places at any time! Really nice!)

• Ezio disappeared at 17 after a dramatic incident? Well, I have a feeling we're gonna find out what it was..

• ALSO THERE IS A STATISTIC! It shows your synchronization, gaming time and more! :D

• Aww I love these two!

• "Baby brother has much to learn!" "There is no shame in losing, brother!"

• I LOVE the music!

• Aww he helped me up!

• Omg what a beautiful beginning! <3

---

• THE ROUND ABOUT AT THE VIEW POINT LOOKS SO GOOD! (Also love the music during it) Firenze looks so good!

• Also visit Cristina? No, I rather look around! View points to find an all that

• 66 VIEW POINTS?! O.o

• There are DOCTORS, BLACKSMITHS, TAILORS AND ART MERCHANTS?! So much new stuff!!

• A yellow arrow indicates that someone is watching you! If its full, it goes red and you should better get going!

• Also there is a green marker, so you know where you're supposed to go

• (And, other then in AC1, the little map also shows the rooftops and the ground levels and even enemies (red dots) - in AC1, there were just little symbols that showed you, which way the next activity was)

• Firenze is not flat, like the cities in AC1 were, but it is still a great feeling, to run across the rooftops

• There are chests! You can LOOT the CHESTS! 100 florins from a chest!!!

• ... Imagine you're 17 years old and just climb the Santa Maria del Fiore for fun (114 m hight)?!

• AND THEN JUMP DOWN INTO A WAGON FILLED WITH LEAVES?!

• (AND SURVIVE, LIKE THAT JUMP WAS NOTHING SPECIAL?!!!)

• THOSE WOODEN THINGS HANGING FROM THE CRANES SHAKE NOW! (slightly, but still)

• "I'm gonna have a few words with him" - punches him half to death

• Ah, the feathers of Petruccio are probably like the flags in AC1

• I LOVE the mother! XD

• I also love Leonardo! He seems like a real sweetheart! (Also he voiced the Rafiq of Damascus in AC1!) He is probably gonna help me later :) (at least, I hope so)

• Ohhhh secret messages, cryptic warning - I think there is more to dear Giovanni

• THEY DID WHAT TO DEAR MARIA?! >:O

• I SWEAR IF THEY DID SOMETHING TO MY BROTHERS!!

• GIAVANNI IS AN ASSASSIN! Is Federico one too?

• Ezio has a cape :)

• (A cape for just one shoulder ... don't know if I like it)

• The guards are supposed to just kill a 17-year-old for no real reason....

• Feathers and chests grow white in the Eagle Vision, making it easy to see them

• A dark shadow walking mysteriously behind Alberti ... I think I know who was the reason for the imprisonment

• NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :'O

---

• ARCHERS!!!

• I like Paola :)

• So the courtesans are like the scholars in AC1, but instead of you walking with them, you can get them at any time and they walk with you

• IS LEONARDO ALSO PART OF THE BROTHERHOOD?!

• SUBJEKT 16?!

• I love the thugs on the rooftops :D "Moving like the WIND" thank you, thank you ;)

• I love how Ezio knocks, but doesn't wait for an answer and opens the door immediately

• HUG!

• But can we all just take in for a moment, that Ezio was immediately on board with having his finger cut of... for a cause he doesn't even know of...

• And the fact that Leonardo immediately helped and protected Ezio, even though he knew him maybe a day or two

• I love Leonardo

• BYE BYE ALBERTI (love Ezios little speech)

• I tear down pieces of paper with my face off the walls and suddenly the guards don't know what I look like anymore?

• I'd like to point out again, that Ezio is 17!!

• SHE DIDN'T KNOW THEY DIED!!!

• THE MUSIC IS NOT HELPING

• There are no beggars but THERE ARE MUSICIANS!!!

• I'M TRYING TO QUIETLY LEAVE THE CITY, NOT PUNCH YOU ALL IN THE FACE

• The fact that 4 dancing women can make 8 hard trained guards leave their posts ...

• It's-a-me, Mario! ....

---

(03.01.23)

• I'm learning to fight.... I'm still not good

• Awww poor madre, here 5 feathers :)

• I'll help Mario!

• But first: view points!

• I miss the throwing knifes...

• Also I'm not suspicious when I'm running anymore :)

• THROWING KNIVES! XD

• BYE BYE VIERI

---

• Altaïr :)

• Of course the Codex pages would just lay around randomly in the open like that

• "He is a monster" "What happened..." "He's making me WORK" - relatable

• I CAN MAKE MOOONEYYY

• I get money from my amour, equipment, the feathers and Codex pages? Awesome!

• They are bulling the architect and I'm here for it

• Secret way in the wall!

• ALTAÏR :D

• Oh I definitely will have bette luck. I'll get the amour even if it's the last thing I do

• There is so much to DO in AC2

• I can't go in there .... (the big door, next to the stairs outside of the villa)

---

• LEONARDO I'M BACK

• "Anything for you, my friend" <3

• NEW ASSINATION TECHNIQUE!! (and 2 more lives) THEY ARE ASWESOMEEE!!!

• Why are these dummies bleeding, Leonardo?...

• 2 HIDDEN BLADES?!

• (Wait, this idea came from the Codex - the one Altaïr did... Altaïr was already deadly enough with one blade, imagine him with 2)

---

• You can get treasure maps at the art merchants

• Yes, I'll teach your husband a lesson my lady

• I wouldn't have wanted him as my husband too, my poor lady

• The times of the day changes (day and night)

• MY MONEY!

• hello La Volpe :)

• RUNNING WITH TIME AAHHH

• Barely did it ...

• Ohhh I like this (running around this tomb)

• I HAD HIM BUT THE DOOR CLOSED!! >:(

• Francesco you are gonna follow your son

• Is that supposed to be Altaïr on the sacrofaq

---

(04.01.23)

• the Santa Maria del Fiore is preeetttyy big (and empty) from the inside

• I can't make that jump, that's too far away ... but where else am I supposed to go?

• Apparently Ezio COULD make that jump

• Those chandeliers, beams and poles are pretty handy, eh?

• the secret treasure is probably not worth it, but at this point I'm so desperate, that I want to now what is in there

• 25 minutes later for 250 florins in that stupid chest ...

• But hey, I at least did it :')

• THAT JUMP was even more unrealistic?!

• MY GOD?!!! I would NEVER do that in real life...

• MA'AM I'M TRYING TO SAY THIS RESPECTFUL - it is fu*king hard to get to your sarcophagus (which I guess was intentional)

• SOMEONE has anger issues ...

• Quick death for someone with a big mouth

• Also wise words Ezio :3

• Nice one Ezio!

• Another Codex page - LEONARDO!

• It's kinda poetic with which ease Ezio hands over the hidden blade to Leaonardo - it shows a lot of trust

---

(07.01.23)

• Let's go to Tuscany

• Smoke bombs? (THEY ARE AWESOME! I wish there were more)

• Well that was a fast and easy kill - Bye bye Stefano, Requiescat in pace

• The horse follows you again - it's such a sweet little detail :)

• Requiescat in pace Archbishop Salviati

• I like the riding through the open world (but be aware, if you(r horse) knocks a person away, the guards are gonna chase you)

• Seriously, why do the guards put Ezio's wanted poster at like the highest point possible where no normal human will ever see them?!

• Well Bernardo's assassination was also quite easy (not that I'm complaining; I'm surprised that it's going so well)

• ARCHERS!

• wow Ezio has come a long way since the beginning ... Requiescat in pace

• "The Assassin is relentless. We cannot hope to stop him on our own." YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT, BEFORE YOU KILL MY FAMILY

• AS IF ONE MUSICIAN WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ENOUGH BUT 3?! Guys, I need to be SILENT! YOU are LOUD AND ANNOYING

• Aww Ezio really has come a long way. Requiescat in pace Del Salvucci

• After a few updates, it is already looking better

• Knife belt upgrade :D

• And now to Tuscany again, because I wanted to get the Assassins Seal there

• Let's infiltrate the Torre Grossa

• I liked this one :)

• So now: to VENEZIA (and Leonardo)

• Or I guess, to the mountains first?

• Leonardo! :D Ahh he's so cute. WILL I FLY?!

• Ahh a chase scene!!

• I did it :) (it was a hell of a bumpy ride and I only hav 2 and a half blue squares left, but I did it)

• (I hope there are never carriage chases again...)

• Forlì is looking sad

• 3 Codex pages!

• And 5 feathers (so far)

• And the 33rd viewpoint :)

• The seal from Rocca di Ravaldino

• I also enjoyed this one :)

• 4 from 6 now already :)

• Guards change their shifts at morning and night time

• Man Leonardo has a loud voice ... (I could hear him kilometers away)

• Apparently I need to help the madonna to get the pass

• THE WAY YOU DRIVE THE OAR XD

• she became engaged when she was 10?!!

• please stop flirting...

• End of sequence 6

• Desmooonnnd :D

• Desmond has a say in all that is happening? Well, I'm not so sure about that ...

• Aww Shaun the little history nerd ^^

• Open your eyes lets begin! ... (don't ask)

• Hallucinations!

• ALTAÏR!!! :D

• O.o

• With Maria?! The woman that wanted him death?!

• I'm happy for him :) (It's nice that we see him again)

• Venezia is BIG

• I love that the colours of the guards uniform change (blue in venice, green in forlì, red/yellow in florence)

• YES LET ME BUY IT FOR HIM

• I nearly missed the hug!

---

(08.01.23)

• Oh so you're better of on our own, but as soon as I fall behind and fight for you, you tell me to hurry up?! (Rosa)

• "They're shooting at us!" ... no they're not. I helped them, so now they're taking a deep nap ...

• "You work well under pressure" please if you just listened to me during the chase scene, then you would know that's not true

• Coffee

• New climbing technique!

• (Now I can finally climb the viewing point!)

• So.many.archers.!!!

• So the courtesans also fight (if you hired them and are under attack). They have a knife and everything ^^

• It is so cool that the thieves can follow you along the rooftops :D

• Also the voice actor from Federico also voices Ugo. I don't know what to do with the fact

---

(23.01.23)

• Always with the guards

• That didn't work like I planned it, but I guess that works too

• Bye bye

• I love the music

• End of sequence 7

• Let's get the next Seal! (at the Basilica San Marco)

• Ahhh cool

• AHHH WITH TIME

• THAT TICKING IS MAKING ME NERVOUS

• WHERE DO I NEED TO GO?!

• (and what's wrong with these camera angles ....)

• I DID THEM ALL ON THE FIRST TRY OMG

• Ma'am I REALLY liked this one :) (if you take away the anxiety I felt because of the ticking)

• Ok but seriously, why is there always an woman singing during water sences in games - yes, she sings beautiful, but why?

• they argue like little children XD

• not them standing on the wide bridge, with Ezio in plain sight, and they still don't see him ...

• Yes, don't underestimate the young Assassin >:)

• And he looks straight at Ezio!!

• (New fanfiction idea: Borgia is a secret Assassin, that wanted to protect Giovanni but failed and now wants to help Ezio...)

• (Just kidding ...)

• LEONARDO :D

• I'm going to fly!

• Well I didn't crash into any houses

• Leonardo is so cute

• I DID IT ON THE FIRST TRY?! !!! o.O

• I HAVE ALL THE SEALS :D

• Let's go to Monteriggioni!

• THE ARMOUR IS BLACK!!! AND SOOO PRETTY!!! :D (and full life bar)

• But let's get back to Venize

• Let the Carnevale begin!

• The games were very fun, but I wish that Ezio could have enjoyed the games without the constant thought in the back of his head, that he needed to win the games (otherwise he wouldn't have a chance of comming near the Doge) :/

• and of course they had to cheat

• Aannd sequence 9 finished :)

---

(28.01.23)

• Neeew land to exploreeee :)

• Uh my man, you don't look so good ...

• I'll liberate Bartolomeo for you :)

• O.o

• He seems nice?

• "Bella mia"?!

• STOP BEGINNING FIGHTS!!

• "Must.Break.Bone." - I think that is the perfect description for Bartolomeo

• He has a wife?!

• Oh no, it's his sword...

• Even though the mercenaries have no lives (those live squares) they can DIE

• I love the smoke bombs

• Well let's assassinate Dante and Silvio

• IT'S WITH TIIIME!!!

• I did it :)

• Ahh "Military District", makes sense

• End of the sequence :)

• 10 years already? Without his father and brothers and without answers... Oh Ezio :( (already 27, wow - and he is still searching for Pitrucuos feathers ..)

• Leonardo :D

• They looks so cute walking together

• Ahhh finally he has answers (even if just a few)

• 29th Codex Page! Just one more :D

• All 66 viewpoints!! (Seriously compared to AC1 the map of AC2 is BIG - at least that's how it seems to me)

• But where is the last Codex Page? Does Borgia have it?

• The Apple! (It has the same shell as in AC1)

• Uncle Mario? Hello? Nice to see you here?

• Why is it always with TIME?! :O

• Ezio in the clothes/armor of an enemy. Weird to see

• Even if other people knock against you, it's YOUR fault .. of course...

• Oh god, there he is o_o

• DAMN HE'S STRONG

• Uncle Mario :D and the others? Hello?

• "Look how good he fights" "You have improved since the last time, nipote" NO I HAVE NOT, I'M ALMOST DEAD, HELP

• "Your brothers didn't need to die, I just did it to make a point" - oh you are so definitely going to regret saying that

• Well Ezio being the Prophet would make more sense then the Spaniard

• Hello Machiavelli

• You're telling me he spent 10 years of his life being an Assassin AND HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT?! WHY THE HELL WOULD THE OTHERS LET HIM WANDER AROUND AND KILL THOSE PEOPLE AND NOT TELL HIM?!

• Oh Ezio we are Assassins. You are one too by the way. Meet us here at sunset. Bye :)

• ....

• Okay I got goosebumps during the ceremony, not gonna lie (I'm still mad at them tho)

• (It looked funny how they all jumped XD)

• THE APPLE OF EDEN!!!

• AN AN VENETIAN CAPE :D

• End of sequence 11 (how many are there?)

---

So apparently you have to buy/download sequence 12/13 (which I sadly can't do, so I guess it has to be enough to watch them on YouTube)

(I really liked them ^^ also I LOVE Catarina XD And it was a nice idea to end everything in Florence. There Ezio lived in innocence for the first years of his life, then he lost his family and live there and now he is back, older and wiser, and ready to leave everything behind)

But let's continue with the last sequence :)

• Desmond :D

• Anndd bye Desmond ...

• He is POPE?! :O

• all Codex Pages!! :D

• LEONARDO IN THE VILLA

• Ezio has a beard omg *-*

• But why exactly is the Papal Staff the second Piece of Eden?

• Let's go to Roma :D

• Let's finish everything...

• I don't know what happend - I went through the place like a real Assassin. So stealthy the guards didn't know that I was comming until they had my Hidden Blade in their necks ...

• (I think it's the beard)

• So, let's kill the Pope

• AHH HE KILLED THEM ALL JUST LIKE THAT

• MULTIPLE EZIOS!!!

• okay, the fastest way to kill Borgia is to just use the throwing knives

• Did he make himself invisible? o.O

• OHH OH GOD, OH NO, OH F*CK

• EZIO! :O

• he's alright :)

• Okay, let's do it for real this time ...

• He let him live?

• Wow he is all grown up :')

• Let's see what all this was for

• WHY IS SHE LOOKING AT ME?!

• "You did your part" THEN GIVE HIM ANSWERS, YOU WEIRD GOD-LADY

• also "you anchor him"... okay?

• "The rest is up to you, Desmond" HUH?!!!

• :O

• Ezio has more questions now then before!!! Come back lady!

• "What.The.F*ck" same Demsomd, same

• Let me tell you, I got goosebumps

• THAT WAS IT?!

• Oh wait, no it wasn't

• WARREN >:(

• Bye bye, we'll see each other again ...

• Soo we're all gonna die, because the sun will cook us. That's nice to know :')

• AND THE MUSIC AGAIN!!!

END OF ASSASSINS CREED 2

Feedback:

My God, that was perfect. I absolutely loved it!

I loved the story, the people and the landscapes/cities.

While we started AC1 in an random place/time, AC2 started with Ezio's birth and ended with him (after years and years) getting his revenge for the loss of his father and brothers. We have been longer with Ezio (we basically saw him grow up) and I really like him.

While AC1 was rather simple, AC2 had a lot more of activities to do, which just blew my mind. I greatly enjoyed building up Monteriggioni, getting the Seals for Altaïr's Amour (which is amazing and I'll wear it forever) and exploring the landscapes (because of the treasure chests and feathers you can find).

Also really love the fast travel options (again) and LOVED the flying mission.

The new (and many more) weapons and Hidden Blade techniques are awesome (like I said earlier, I absolutely LOVE the smoke bombs).

Furthermore, I love the whole information we get. Like I said in the beginning, in AC1 we were pretty much without any useful information the whole time. Yes we knew which time it was and where, but other then that, nothing. Now though, we have information about everything. The doctors, the courtesans, the blacksmiths, the people and buildings and I love it!

(Also I'm happy that firstly, we got more Desmond time and secondly, we got to see Altaïr again ^^)

All in all, I absolutely loved Assassin's Creed 2 and I'm excited to play Brotherhood!

Final Fantasy VII Remake is garbage

And here's why (7:57:47) Totally not inspired by Hbomberguy Note : this is a repost of my twitter post with a few fixes here and there.

Chapter 1: The Overdrive-Nomurism Cosmo Nevismitical.

Like every European who didn't bought games from Japan or the US, FF 7 was my very first step in the FF franchise. It is a very important game for me, a game that my best friend allowed me to play because he lent me his PS1 with most of his games.

First things first : I have 0 problems with the "timeline cross" thing, despite it being a very Nomura thing. I actually like it. I also like the visuals and the much improved writing of the characters (in most situations, sadly this too isn't great for reasons I'll tackle later).

FF 7 R is sadly a victim of what I call the Overdrive-Nomurism Cosmo Nevismitical. Or in human language, a "Tetsuya Nomura thing". Why is that, you ask ? Because he always, ALWAYS have to add overly complex terms, UI elements or game designs that goes off the rails. Oh you want to upgrade your weapon ? Open the menu, open the upgrade menu, open the character menu, open the weapon menu, then watch an unskippable cutscene -EVERY SINGLE TIME- to get to a useless 3D scene just to choose upgrades. And that's not all.

if you choose the wrong weapon by mistake, when you get out of the menu, there's another (short) unskippable animation. Then when you choose the right weapon, the animation shows up again because maybe you didn't saw it correctly the first time ! Then you want to upgrade your teammates weapons too ? You have to exit this menu (animation), exit your character weapon menu, go to your teammate weapon menu, open one of their weapon (animation), then you want to do it for their other weapon ? Guess what ? You watch this, every, single, time, for, every, single, weapon.

This is a "Nomurism" to me. Remember the Crystarium from FF XIII ? All this beautiful animations and crystals just for... an incredibly linear upgrade system you have 0 control in and 0 choices other than the one imposed to you. You can't upgrade how you want, follow the stupid line and look at the pretty colors !

It's the equivalent of the moving keys in front of childrens. The Bubsy 3D of UI design. I hear you tell me that UI design isn't Nomura, but he is the game director. He said yes to this (off course he did). Then the other Nomurism is the characters. While I'm ok with most of the main cast, we have to talk about Suchar. I mean Rochey Suchar. I mean Roch. Oh boi.

Side Quest In the french version, Roch is named "Rochey" (and yes, you pronounce it in Rochay), because Roch sounds like "Roche", a roc in french. Just like Torgal in FF 16 is renamed Talghor in the french version, but off course the subtitles keep his name "Torgal" because while they renamed him because of the french comic book "Thorgal", they couldn't be bothered to not butcher the subtitles. I guess it's forbidden to use "Thorgal" in french but it's ok in Japanese and English ? Side quest done, 100 Gils (it's a FF 16 side quest, so off course the rewards sucks)

Rochey (yes, I'll keep the french name, deal with it) is when FF 7 Remake jumped the shark, killed it, vomitted in every orifice of the poor beast, and then took a dump on his poor corpse. This is the moment Cloud shows that he can jump from a bike going full speed, then attack in midair while not losing his speed or air control, go back to his bike with 0 efforts. It's also the moment where Rochey do a 1080° with his bike for no reason aside for Tetsuya Nomura to make another Nomurism. I bet gravity murdered Nomura's family in the past.

I've stated at the start that this post was inspired by the Hbomberguy video essays "This X is Y and here's why" because I love his work and it helps me a lot with my writing (still needs to improve). I know that FF 7 Remake isn't an Immersive Sim game but in Hbomb's Deus Ex Human Revolution video, Warren Spector says "NPCs don't do the cool stuff, players do. You make the player do the cool stuff, NPCs watch the players doing it". It resonate with me everytime I see a character doing impossible things in a cutscene then being stuck in front of a wooden door when the player is given control back.

Chapter 2 : A game design 20 years late

Because of all the horrendous slow movement the player is forced to make in the entirety of the game while in every cutscenes possible, Cloud can jump 10 meters (I'm french), destroy a tank with his hair and fart missiles, but OFF COURSE, a fucking fence thinier than Nomura's braincells is what stops him everytime ! "Oh no, we must find another way, I surely can't slash this fence with the sword from Berserk. I have to find another way. Oh no, a 1 meter gap ! Surely I have to walk slowly over it, I can't jump at all ! What ?! The ground is made of wodden planks ?! QUICK, let's WALK VERY SLOWLY for no reason !

Oh no ! A pile of debris ! I can't jump over it despite the clearly visible space I could just jump over, I have to get on my knees and walk as SLOWLY as possible. To the "It's for loading purposes" crowd, yeah most of the time it is, but sometimes it's just one slow walk after the other ! Like, com'on, I know the visuals are pretty good but until the Shinra Tower, every place is pretty much a hallway with one straight line with a variation you will be forced to take at one point so it's not really "exploration", but just an alternative path you'll be forced to take later. The pacing is all over the place. Speaking of...

Chapter 3 : Pacing : you're doing. It wrong.

Remember how OG FF 7 MIdgar's segment was between 5 to 8 hours depending on how players tackled it ? Since the remake takes entirely place in Midgar, they had to stretch it. And oh boi, the streching is all over the place. The game even makes a FF XIII-ism by telling you that "Yeah, you should totally do the ALL the side quests because that will reward you and you'll gain XP and stuff ! Do it please !". Like, it's not even hiding how badly paced it is.

Doing all the sidequests in Wall Market is horrendous and forced ! It's not "SIDE QUESTS" when you are forced to do it ! A forced multi-part arena, interminable dialogue between the multiple useless "leads" of Wall Market, and having to move from A to B to A all the flippin' time while mostly walking very slow to listen to Aerith or just move in one of the most badly designed town ever saw in a modern Action RPG.

The way back to Sector 7 after Don Corneo is even worse. Every single segments of the game just goes to a stop everytime. OH DAMN MAYBE THE PILLAR IS IN DANGER but oh look ! Ghosts ! Let's have fun with them, the pillar isn't a big deal after all !

Part 2 coming soon after for readability sake.

EDIT : Here's part 2 !

trigun stampede reaction compilation & thoughts

it is trigun stampede time. <- can't watch new link click ep

funfact: I called Meryl Merelyn for like. the entire watch. I can't hear :)

finally watching trigun stampede. i enjoy it a lot so far. sometimes the animation is a bit too overly animated (lol) but that's my only nitpick so far.

Meryl going "!!! journalistic integrityyyy, don't flatter meeee" was so cute, she's very endearing.

I didn't think it'd hook me that well, I just kinda wanted something to distract me a bit.

(insect bomb thingies) JESUS CHRIST

(idv reference) breaking wheel crossover spotted.

i like that the antagonist is just in this wack-ass clothed hood (how is it so big?) and is just.... slowly walking across the desert to the goal, like dude you couldn't get... a vehicle or sth? damn

a funny dude ominously terrifying but kinda funny

nvm absolutely terrifying the hood is still a lil goofy

why's there another kid that has the same hairstyle as the other two as kids......

(Kni obliterating the town) ok but why tho dude

oh hey wolfwood. oh. he ded. epic.

lmao his speech to god with that deadpan voice and wide kneel is sending me he is kinda creepy- i get that hes being nice to this traumatized child. but he comes across. as so creepy lol- "hey kid WANT A LOLIPOP" (this is even weirder in hindsight, like did he know?? he being an actor out here)

well. they ded. rip NO SPLITTING THE PARTY this show is genuinely creepy

???? they were too busy with the flir compliment to notice Roberto just fucking vanishing in front of them?? okay okay i see how it is

Wolfwood: "you fool!!" (proceeds to keep standing in front of the worm too)

HIS NAME IS NIKOLAS???

fellas does it mean sth to take the words of your thematic foil to heart and eat something again?

awww they're both sleeping in the back of the car lol, adorable

Meryl: im dying of a heat stroke Meryl: (in jacket)

Hello Norton from the 4vs1 asymmetrical game Identity V.

ooh it was a flashback :0 smooth ... mAN :( NO THIS DUDE. NOT THIS DOCTOR DUDE

why did his death actually bring the wind back i dont understand... like uh, I get that there's some religious theming going on here; but is the show saying that it's actually true and he was needed as a sacrifice? idk about that one chief. Maybe it's "sth sth natural order restored" but hmmm

Subtitles sure would be nice for this silent movie segment (dub was too incompetent to add subtitles for the text, so i had both sub and dub open and alternated as the segments happened. fun times. tbh it probably wasn't that relevant but oh well)

this artstyle and animation of this orphanage segment is SO NICE

that was adorable and way more "eyo?" than i expected from this show. dude smoked as a toddler too though, goddamn.

i…… what about wolfwood being against the cult until they blackmailed him made blue-hair think killing everyone they can blackmail him with would make him a better devotee. Like I guess he's not genuine now but I feel like killing everything he's trying to protect by helping them, is just.... kinda counterproductive.

Wolfwood: ILL SKIN YOU ALIVE AND PLAY WITH YOUR BONES UNTIL YOU BEG FOR DEATH Vash: 🥺

(the context does make sense but this fucking killed me)

ik that its literal for him bc he doesnt need it but saying he wont eat the food bc its "a waste" just hits different for me.... hng.

im gonna cry bc this "home" segment is so nice and im sure soon ill cry bc its gonna get RIPPED AWAY

LUIDA SURVIVED THAT??? HOW DID SHE SURVIVE THAT- Halleluja.

NO HIS HAIR- UNDO THIS RIGHT NOW. WHAT IS THIS- WHERE'S SOFTIE- epic callback tho (? idk what the relation to the other trigun media is.)

apparently it's sort of an semi-divergent prequel? according to the comments at least..... which..... probably means the hair is gonna stay... *sob*

okay, what is even happening-

goddamn the fucking burning animation on Knives.... they went insane, that looked so good.

I- what is happening-

I'm assuming the name of the newbie Meryl will take on is meaningful to the franchise bc it was framed like that but I just sat there like... "w-who? should i know them?"

where's vash :(

On characters and dynamics

So, some stuff I didn't really comment on but the whole plants thing is very cool, lots of interesting philosophical arguments. Even if the whole... scientist shows journalists around thing was a little.... well, damn, aren't you nice, huh? IDK THAT WAS SO RANDOM WHAT DHSAJD-

Also the imagery of Vash having cords to all of the plants sure was something. (not negative)

I... was really confused on what was going on with his vine thingies at the end. I'm pretty sure both him and Knives got 1 wing each with their... tentacle... thingies, but they never really focused on it well (or maybe I was too tired to notice) so I was like "?? what is this noise behind him" for like... 2 minutes.

I think the show peaked with everything except the end for me (like all the plants stuff, like everything going on with the morality aspects and all that)- which might be my lack of trigun investment going into it to be fair. I feel like.... they did set it up but then didn't really deliver on it in a way that felt impactful to me, things were just kinda... happening and people were just kinda... there. Which like, i get this is kinda beyond anyone's capabilities but. YOU KNOW-

Maybe I just don't get it (likely), but I feel like it was kind of set up well, but then also not really resolved with the same "pieces"?

Like uh. we had wolfwood and vash redirect the cannon from the orphanage, which is very similar to vash redirecting the core-space-cube-thingy from the city in the end.

And we also had the whole "reach the person inside" aspect with livio, which then kind of came back with vash. But Meryl... idk, her part in the climax felt kind of unearned or... not as impactful to me? She wasn't really involved in the livio stuff at all.

I'm not saying Wolfwood would have made sense to be there in her stead, not rly, but her being there just didn't really do anything for me. She even already had her moment of not running away in the orphanage arc too. And she also didn't really have a huge impact in the end either, because it was mostly Rem's memory? Which like, you could argue makes my whole problem irrelevant which is fair, but idk. felt strange.

So yeah, I do think that i find it a jarring that the ending kinda had this whole Meryl->Vash and Wolfwood->Meryl rescuing thing going on, when I feel like the show almost exclusively focused on Meryl+Roberto and Vash+Wolfwood.

Blogging through Till the World Ends Ep 8

Do ya'll not know what a gas station looks like?

Wait what are we doing? Why are we here?

I bet ya'll left the gun in the car didn't you.

wow I'm sure that curtain won't be falling down while we're here/s

lol not P'Gus appearing out of nowhere for a jumpscare

They are not about to kill a chicken

Lol Art saying "kill them all" and Golf rethinking his life choices. 🤣

Lol them spitting out the ramen

Not P'Gus creating an opportunity for them to have sex

I hate when they translate faen as girlfriend or boyfriend. It's a gender neutral term. Translating it in a gendered way adds a layer to the conversation that isn't actually there. I'm fine with it when everyone in the room knows the gender of the faen, but when the person doesn't know, the translation makes them seem either ignorant or accepting.

Same Art, same. I feel like I'd understand this better if i didn't have to rely on subtitles.

Weird of them to describe Salim as being a bad thing and then tell Art he is Salim. Are we not gonna fix that or...?

Not P'Gus being surprised they haven't had sex yet. Sir have you ever even seen them kiss? No you haven't because I haven't either.

Not him telling them to have sex

Back to our gang boys

Who leaves their car keys in the car?

Look at that big, beautiful moon.

Not Art being nervous.

Oh?

My dude please tell me you know about lube

Not the shirt being ripped .

Oh no that's such a cute smile

Uhhhh either P'Gus is snooping on his brother when he thinks he's having sex or we have another person in the house.

Again??

ok we've discovered kissing and we don't want to stop I guess

ohhhhh Tilak

if P'Gus died while they were having sex I swear

No Art is so cute lying on the bed all giddy

Wait there's a bedroom in the bedroom? ?

Wait if the guy was in this room all night.... you know what nevermind.

oh no oh no not fighting oh no

there's a swimming pool in the bunker?

This class system sounds really strange.

Don't they already know how to get there?

Not P'Gus knowing about Uncle

oh jeez. This angle looking up at the moon is actually pretty scary. Can you imagine looking up and seeing the moon like that and there's nothing that can be done to stop it? It's going to hit the Earth and then what? Even if people survive, there's so many things that would change if the moon was gone. What happens to the oceans? The day/night cycle? This is the first time this show has made me feel actual fear. It looks like the moon is bearing down on you, about to crush you.

Aww hugging uncle

Oh I bet you the gun is gone

Oh I'm cackling! Not the obviously photoshopped knife! What would be the point of don't that? I guess if you were going to ambush them but how would the people who left the knife know if they were coming back? Oh this show. (Affectionate)

So pretty much right after I wrote that wrote section about the moon, my power shut off. It's 3am. I think the power is out in my whole town. Everything is so dark. I might be a little more scared than I normally would be now that I'm thinking about the moon crashing into the earth. So thanks Till the World Ends for giving me an irrational fear.

Literally just had the fear of death put in me by a show and then the world goes dark.

Episode 9 will have to wait I guess.

#Till the World Ends #Episode 8 #Literally the worst time for a power outage #I love how Golf and Art finally got to be intimate with each other and then couldn't keep their hands off each other #Good for them #WanderingRain

Adding Gif Subtitles: A Step by Step Tutorial

This post will explain how to add and perfectly center subtitles in gifs. To learn how to style your subtitles, go here.

Please like/reblog if this has helped you and feel free to hit me up for any questions and concerns! ♥︎

↓ LEARN HOW TO ADD SUBTITLES UNDER THE CUT ↓

[1] Create your gif

Make it like you normally would, apply coloring, sharpen, etc. If you don’t know how to make gifs yet, click here for some great tutorials.

Assuming you've already converted into a Video Timeline and your layers into a Smart Object in your gif making process, let's proceed.

[2] Drag the playhead to the start of the timeline

Do this before adding text in order to align it with your gif and coloring layers if your playhead isn't at the start of the timeline as demonstrated below:

[3] Add a text layer

NOTE:

We're not centering yet so don't worry if your text isn't centered in this step.

Make sure your text layer is above the gif and coloring layers.

Add text by selecting the letter T key (this is a very useful Photoshop shortcut) then (there are two ways of doing this next bit):

Option 1

Just click anywhere on your canvas like this:

Option 2

Create a text box by clicking and dragging your mouse anywhere on the canvas to form a rectangular shape like this:

You can adjust the size of the text box by clicking and dragging the squares at the corners/edges encircled in pink below:

[4] Adjust the length of text layer

Your text layer may end up being longer or shorter than your gif layer in the Timeline window.

NOTE: This can also apply to coloring layers/coloring psds.

For longer text layers:

4.1 Zoom the layers out in the Timeline window to see the end of the long text layer. Do this by sliding left the triangle icon "▲" between those two mountain-looking icons at the bottom (this will make the next steps easier and you can always undo this step later).

4.2 Drag the end mark (what the pink arrow’s pointing to below) to where the gif ends.

For shorter text layers:

Drag the end of the text layer and align it with the end of the gif layer.

[5] Center the text layer

You may skip this step if you don't plan to center your subtitles in your gif.

Aside from center aligning your text, your subtitles should be centered in the gif as well.

You can center your text in three ways (that I know of):

Option 1: Smart Guides

5.1.1 Make sure you have these selected:

Smart Guides. To do this, go to View > Show > Smart Guides.

Snap. To do this, go to View > Snap.

Guide under Snap To. Go to View > Snap To > click Guides.

5.1.2 Select the Move Tool (shortcut: the letter V key).

5.1.3 Move your text on the canvas around where you think the center is until you see a guide line that runs from the top edge of the canvas to the bottom edge, that's the center guide line. In my example below, the guide lines are neon pink.

NOTE: With Snap activated, your text will just "snap" like a magnet to the center guide line.

5.1.4 Drag your text to the bottom edge.

TIP: To make sure your text doesn't stray from the center guide line, press and hold the shift key while you're dragging the text to the bottom edge.

Option 2: Move Tool Menu

5.2.1 Select the text layer in the Layers window.

5.2.2 Select All by using the shortcut { [Ctrl for Windows / command for Mac] + A }.

5.2.3 Select the Move Tool (V).

5.2.4 In the Move Tool menu, click on the 'align horizontal centers' button and the 'align bottom edges' button as seen below (encircled in pink).

Option 3: Add Guide + Free Transform

5.3.1 Add a center guide by going to View > New Guide... > Orientation: 🔘Vertical > Position: 50% (not px) > OK

5.3.2 Make sure you have these selected:

Snap. To do this, go to View > Snap.

Guide under Snap To. Go to View > Snap To > click Guides.

5.3.3 Select your text layer in the Layers window.

5.3.4 Select Free Transform by using the shortcut { [Ctrl for Windows / command for Mac] + T }. A box will appear around your text.

5.3.5 Drag and align your text to the center guide and then drag it down to the bottom edge. With Snap activated, it will just "snap" like a magnet and stick to the center guide line as you can see below.

[6] Add a gap between your subtitles and the gif's bottom edge

You can do this in two ways (that I know of):

Option 1: Nudge

7.1.1 Select your text layer.

7.1.2 Hold down the Shift key + press the up arrow key once. (I usually stop at one up arrow key only but you can go for two nudges)

NOTE: If you want your text to go higher/lower but just a teeny tiny bit, press the up arrow key without holding down Shift.

Option 2: Add Guide

The process is similar to the third option in section [5], except instead of Vertical, select Horizontal; and instead of a 50% Position, type in 96%. 96% is just my personal preference.

There is no definite amount, so just make sure to avoid placing your subtitles too close to the bottom, left and right edges for better readability.

[7] Caption + Styling

Now that you've successfully added and centered your subtitles, it's time to replace Lorem Ipsum with your subtitles (if you haven't yet) and style the text.

This is explained in my comprehensive gif subtitles style guide. Go check it out! 10/10 recommend 😂

Hi Nia! You're gifs are so pretty! Is it possible for you to show how you get your WandaVision gifs too look so clear and hd? And how do you do your colorings too? (specifically the wanda maximoff in episode 3 gifset ITS GORGEOUS) I'm new to giffing and all the tutorials are kind of old. It's okay if you don't want to though! I understand it may be time consuming.

omg no! never feel intimidated to ask!! i don’t mind at all!

so, i’m going to show you how i made and coloured this gif

mostly bc it’s the only gif in that set w text and i’m going to share my text settings too!

tutorial is below :)

WHAT KIND OF VIDEOS ARE BEST?

.mkv files (the bigger the better BUT i usually think anything above 5 gb is excessive and unnecessary for an episode of television BUT for a movie worth it) itunes downloads (logolesspro on twitter, hd-source on tumblr, live-action-raws on tumblr have some DEPENDING on what you’re looking for) (also, there’s a chance that if you search "show/movie hd download tumblr” you’ll find a tumblr with its itunes download available)

THAT IS IT NO OTHER TYPE OF FILES MAKE YOUR GIFS LOOK GOOD

- my suggestion is always if its new (like just came out the past month) t*rrent it! it’ll be downloaded quickly and .mkv files look the best! BUT if not check the sources above see who has the BIGGEST file if they even have what you’re looking for and then if not then you look to t*rrenting!!

here are the wandavision files i use so you can see!!

SCREENCAPPING

-if you have windows use potplayer! i have a mac so i can’t show you how to use it and it’s not available for me :( HOWEVER back when i had a windows potplayer was the best method in screencapping!!

-I HAVE A MAC! so i use mpv!! (go to mpv.io and follow the directions) BUT DON’T DOWNLOAD THE LATEST ONE (it has a bug that skips frames) try each before the latest one bc from what i heard different ones work differently for everyone!! and i don’t know which one i use (yikes!) THERE ISN’T THAT MANY I PROMISE AND IT’S WORTH IT BC MPV IS THE BEST (i used to use adapter but they didn’t take impressive screencaps in my opinion and it was evident in my gifs you can see it too! )

create a folder for your screencaps! and make sure to rmb the directory order! now we want to create a text file on our built in textedit app on mac! type up all this down below (i like jpg but you can replace jpg w png if you want) AND SAVE THE FILE AS mpv.conf THIS IS IMPORTANT SO DON’T FORGET IT! save it somewhere you’ll find easily and NEVER delete it until you don’t use mpv anymore

just in case you don’t know what to insert after, go to your screencaps folder

now you want to open mpv and go to the corner towards mpv -> preferences and they’ll tell you that there is no .conf file SO GO LOOK FOR THE TEXT FILE WE JUST MADE AND DRAG IT TO THE FOLDER THEY OPENED FOR US AFTER SAYING THERE IS NO .CONF FILE

(i learned all this from @kylos tutorial!! so if any of what i just said about setting up mpv makes NO SENSE to you check out their tutorial at kylos(.)tumblr(.)com/post/178497909311)

now we can screencap!

so let’s find the scene we want RIGHT BEFORE and MAKE SURE SUBTITLES ARE OFF

i pause and then press (option/alt + s) and then SCREENCAPS ARE BEING TAKEN!! and to end the screencaps being taken you once again press (option/alt + s)!!

now we want to delete the excess frames! and put it all into one folder!! DO NOT DELETE FRAMES IN THE MIDDLE OF WHAT YOU WANT TO GIF!! WHEN YOU SKIP FRAMES IT WILL BE NOTICEABLE!!

MAKING THE GIF

this method isn’t used that much BUT I LOVE IT so this is how i put my frames in! first i check to see the size of my frames: 1920 x 1080

so i create a NEW file on photoshop with those dimensions w these settings

now i set my tool on photoshop to path selection tool bc if you have it set on smth like move tool or crop tool at the end you might end up moving or cropping frames you don’t want to!

ok so now we select ALL our frames and drag it on top of our new file on photoshop and the MOMENT we see our first frame in photoshop JUST KEEP CLICKING ENTER until all the frames are loaded!!

you can do file -> scripts -> load files into stack but it is WAYYY slower in my opinion!

now i crop out the excess BUT i don’t resize the gif yet! the dimensions wandavision is filmed in is 4:3 so i go to crop and set the settings to this:

MAKE SURE IT’S ON RATIO SO WE’RE PRESERVING THE ORIGINAL SIZE JUST CUTTING OFF THE BLACK EDGES!! We are going from 1920 x 1080 to 1440 x 1080 this is the dimensions after i cropped

WE ARE KEEPING THE QUALITY BY NOT CHANGING THE DIMENSIONS OF ANYTHING INSIDE !!

now we want to go to actions and create an action!! open up actions w one of these two depending on what your dash looks like!!

so we create an action with this button on the bottom of actions and we’re gonna title it making a gif and hit record!!

NOW LET’S GOOOOO!!

1. make sure you have timeline on your dash!

2. create frame animation (if you see create video timeline just click the arrow next to the button to see your other option which is frame animation!!)

3. now let’s meet our best friend!! the little bar in the top right corner that has all the commands for making our gifs and MAKE FRAMES FROM LAYERS

4. WE HAVE TO SHARPEN OUR GIFS NOW BUT TO DO THAT WE NEED TO CONVERT TO A SMART OBJECT SO NOW WE ARE GOING TO CONVERT TO VIDEO TIMELINE there are two ways: the button in the bottom left corner or the button in the top right corner w all the other commands!

5. select -> all layers DON’T MANUALLY SELECT THEM ALL BC THE ACTION WILL ONLY SELECT THAT SAME NUMBER OF FRAMES SO IF THERE ARE MORE FRAMES YOU WON’T GET THEM IN THE SMART OBJECT!!

6. filter -> convert for smart filters

7. NOW WE SHARPEN!! (filter -> sharpen -> smart sharpen) i sharpen twice!! first, make sure we are on legacy w more accurate and remove gaussian blue! the first sharpening will be 500% with 0.4 px radius. NOW SHARPEN AGAIN (filter -> sharpen -> smart sharpen) also w legacy, more accurate and remove gaussian blur BUT this time 10% with a 10.0 px radius!

8. it’s hd now!! so let’s flatten frames into clips!! go to the top right magic button again!! and you should see a pop up saying layers are being made

9. now we convert back to frame animation w either the bottom left button or our magic top right command center!

10. make frames from layers

11. select all frames w our magic command button

12. set the animation delay to 0.05 THAT IS THE BEST ONE ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS only use 0.06 when the character is moving really fast in the video itself and it makes the gif itself look awkward BUT NEVER GO ABOVE 0.06 it’ll look slow and laggy and we don’t want that and don’t go below 0.05 bc then it’ll be tooo fast and we don’t want that either!

13. now delete the very first frame on the timeline bc it is an oversharpened duplicate of the second frame! end the recording w this button!

this is what your action should look like expanded! if you made mistakes on the way and it shows up you can just click the specific step and press the trash can on the action tab to delete in from the order!!

NOW AFTER LOADING YOUR FRAMES AND CROPPING THE EDGES OF YOUR FRAMES IF YOU NEED TO JUST PLAY THE ACTION AND THEN YOUR GIF WILL BE MADE FOR YOU!!!!

now i delete some unnecessary frames in the beginning and end and this is what my gif looks like (the size was 46 mb and the limit is 10 mb so the dimensions of the gif are 540 x 405 to get it to 5 mb BUT I HAVEN’T CROPPED IT YET SO THIS IS ME CROPPING JUST TO SHOW YOU WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE)

CROPPING THE GIF

in my opinion if you want your gif to look hd you shouldn’t crop before you sharpen!! i believe that if you crop before you sharpen you don’t allow photoshop to sharpen all the pixels whereas if you crop beforehand there is less to work with!!

dimensions is all up to you!! just make sure to go by tumblr rules!! 540 is the max width and if you want to make two gifs per row then my suggested width is 268 and for three gifs per row my suggested is 177 px! Just have the right width and the length can be whatever you want!!

now i’m going to crop my gif to 540 by 590!!

NOW THIS IS WHAT MY GIF LOOKS LIKE!

COLOURING BASICS

let me show you the best adjustment tools in my opinion and a brief explanation for what they do!!

brightness/contrast: pretty simple increase/decrease the brightness/contrast BUT one of my techniques for when i first start colouring a gif is i select all my frames and do nothing to the settings of the adjustment but i set the layer to screen LIKE THIS

curves: ik others use curves to change brightness/contrast w the squiggly thing BUT i like it to set a white point and black point, this is also a technique i use when i first start colouring a gif when screen doesn’t look good for me SO you use white point to select a pixel on the gif to set as the lightest color on the gif (setting the white point) and you use black point to select a pixel on the gif to set as the darkest colour on the gif (setting the black point) usually the white point makes it TOO bright and that’s why we use the black point to counter it and same goes for when i use screen with brightness/contrast, it gets too bright so i use black point to counter it below is the button for white point and the button for black point, respectively they are shaped as color picker tools

vibrance: generally, i never use this except for color p*rn sets but they work really well in making colors seem more strong

hue/saturation: like vibrance, i never use this except for color p*rn sets but this adjustment is to help change the colors or hue of a color for example: turn blue into purple or turn a blue into a little lighter shade of blue

color balance: I ALWAYS USE THIS!! except for in black and white gifs BUT THIS IS MY GO TO AND IF I DON’T USE IT MY GIFS ARE JUST BLAND i feel like color balance is what essentially balances the colors on your gif and adds dimension to it, it makes your gif go from looking way too yellow to a more golden neutral look and it is an essential adjustment in my opinion

channel mixer: i rarely use channel mixer BUT it is so so useful when you are working w a dark scene just play w the settings and all of a sudden all the blue in a dark scene will be a little more yellow and red and your scene will kind of just look brighter and more visible

selective color: THIS IS ALSO AN ESSENTIAL this helps SPECIFIC colors pop you’re working on a scene where there is too much red on someones face you use this tool to remove the magentaness from the yellow section OR when you feel someones face is TOO yellow and needs more blush you add more magenta in the yellow section of selective color

gradiant map: gradiant map is perfect when you’re lazy if you feel like your gif looks more neutral and you want some red in it but you don’t want to mess with any other adjustments just set a red to black gradiant on soft overlay with a very low opacity and BOOM slightly red but not too much red added!

NOW TO COLOR THE GIF!

today i have decided to start with a brightness layer set on screen

and this is what we got!

now that’s a little to bright and washed out in my opinion SOOOO to counteract it, i’m going to use my black point tool in curves and i’m going to select this point on the gif (it’s better to choose smth in the background and not smth that’s paid attention to such as monica’s hair or either of their eyelashes)

now my gif looks like this! the base color is complete!

now i think i need to balance all this yellow and red! SOOOO WE GONNA USE COLOR BALANCE!!

i think the best way to use color balance is to keep swinging the balancer until you see what you like and then keep going midtones i think i want more red and i don’t want a cyan midtone and then for shadows i think i want more cyan to counter the redness of the gif but highlights i don’t touch that much NOW HERE ARE MY SETTINGS SO YOU CAN SEE

and this is what my gif looks like

now you can stop here if you want but in my opinion i think the gif looks a lil too dead still SO IMMA USE SELECTIVE COLOR

i think there needs to be a lot lot more RED so i amp up the yellow magenta and black in the red! but i also think the yellows need to be LESS RED so i remove magenta from the yellow! and bc there’s some cyan and blue bc of monica and the flowers in the background im going to make the cyans more cyan and the blues a lil more black! i’m going to remove some yellows from the magenta!! and i add more black to the neutrals and black!! i think it’s always important to add more black to neutral and black bc it adds more depth to the gif by not just making it a bunch of bright colors and having dark colors to contrast to!! my settings are below!

and the result!

now let’s see everything together!

and the before and after!

I HOPE MY COLOURING EXPLANATION MADE SENSE!! if not you can always ask me more questions i don’t mind!!

ADDING SUBTITLES

we want to grab the text tool!

make a text box from anywhere in the middle from the left to right edge. this is so we can make sure our text is centered and will be in the same place for when we have sets w more than one gif w text!

type your text out and make sure you highlight the whole text so that all the settings apply to EACH character! you can find the alignments (for center) in the paragraph tab!

now lets right click on the text layer and go to blending options! add stroke and drop shadow!

now drag it to the desired height you would like and make sure to keep it in mind for when you have more than one subtitled gif in a set!

NOW TO MAKE SURE THE TEXT STAYS IN PLACE AND THE BLENDING STAYS YOU HAVE TO CONVERT TO SMART OBJECT!!

if you want to only have the text applied to certain frames instead of all frames, select the frames you don’t want by clicking the first frame in ur don’t want section ON THE TIMELINE and WHILST HOLDING SHIFT click the last frame of ur don’t want section and then toggle the eye switch next to the text layer

now you see the text

now you don’t

tip: use opacity to fade the text in and out!

the text is going to be on all my frames so i don’t need to toggle the eye but i just wanted to show you just in case!!

now here’s my FINAL RESULT

save for web (file -> export -> save for web)

your gifs have to always be under 10 mb! so, if your WAYYY overboard YOU HAVE TO DELETE FRAMES! or you can divide the gif in two and have two gifs instead of one! however, if you plan on going the deleting frames route MAKE SURE YOU DELETE FROM THE BEGINNING OR END OF YOUR SELECTION i promise you that most of us won’t notice that your characters dialogue is being cut off BUT WE WILL NOTICE IF FRAMES ARE BEING SKIPPED so, don’t delete frames in the middle of ur gif!! idc how little you do it IT WILL RUIN YOUR GIF AND I SAY THIS FROM EXPERIENCE i would delete every fifth frame to cut down my gifs and that may seem like not that big of a deal BUT IT IS my gif looked choppy and poor so it is way better to cut from the end/beginning of the gif

ANOTHER LAST PIECE OF ADVICE in the bottom left of when the save for web menu shows up THERE’S A PREVIEW BUTTON click on it! it’ll show you your gif on your default browser and show you what it’ll look like once uploaded! this is perfect to check the speed of ur gif and the colouring and to notice if there’s a problem with your subtitles or maybe there’s an obvious jump in frames you never noticed before!! i always use preview bc the built-in photoshop viewer of ur gif shows the colors differently and the speed is NEVER ACURRATE!

I USED THESE SAVE SETTINGS!! many say to use selective pattern but i DISAGREE and i think these save settings are the ✨ best ✨

OK NOW THAT IS THE END OF THIS VERY LONG GIF TUTORIAL!! I HOPE THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED!! IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS DON’T BE AFRAID TO ASK I SINCERELY DON’T MIND!! JUST DON’T BE RUDE OR ANYTHING BC PPL HAVE BEEN RECENTLY :(

I WISH YOU ALL THE LUCK AND FUN IN YOUR GIFFING ADVENTURES !!

Judging Iconic CR Quotes in TLOVM Based on How Well They Translated Them into Polish

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also if you take away anything from this post is that, no matter how good the translation is a lot of nuance will inevitably get lost. So if you can, consume media in it's original language.

1) "Your soul is forfeit"

Starting off.... well I wouldn't say strong but go off I guess. To be fair we don't have a good word for forfeit but "The fate of your soul is doomed" is edgy even by Percy standards. Looses the dramatic flair ngl. Top 10 things you could hear behind a Żabka. I could fight this man behing said żabka/10

2) "I would like to rage"

No, I don't think you would like to do that. sounds like a teen trying to explain to their mom why they should be allowed to go to a rave. Captures the absurdity of the quote though. This list is really making me realize how many cool words the polish language is missing ywy let him go to the rave/10

3) "You were the one I was least looking forward to"

Me @ my polish teacher. Something's very wrong with the syntax but I'm too stupid to figure out what. The closest I can compare it is yoda: mild edition. Love that added the word meeting, like now it just sounds like they're coworkers in a company meeting. TLOVM-best-workplace-comedy-2022/10

4) "You know I'm in love with you, right?"

aghsdfsgh ok ok i honestly kinda love this one. like unironically "you know that I've fallen in love with you?" [my best translation attempt back into english] king shit, adorable, showstoping Like somehow they made it even more awkward than the original Vax confessing his love for Kiki the same way he'd tell someone else he has a crush. aaa i can't explain how much i actually love this translation. like this man is equally as suprised about the fact as Kiki. man really went oh shit Kiki guess what? being-in-love-with-Kiki/10

5) "You're the face I saw when murder entered my heart"

Ha. Turns out Percy quotes just don't work in Polish. Dude's too rich to be slavic. Fans want him, Polish syntax hates him. even though I'm mostly focusing on the subtitles instead of lektor tm , this one i think actually did a better job of capturing the feeling instead of a direct translation. "You're the face I saw when I dreamt of my bloody revenge"[lektor] vs "You're the face I saw when killing entered my blood" [subtitles] No i don't know why they changed it to killing and blood instead of heart/10

6) "I broke the world for us"

....I had to look up what "zbrukać" means. Has the vibes of like "fuck, i didn't study at all and really zbrukałam that exam" instead of you know destroying the world. Queen really looked up her best old-timey rural poland vocab words for this one, huh? Minus points for having to inflect Sylas' name Deprecha/10

7) "Darling, take that mask off"

Alright time to rant bestie. I love me a good petname but all polish ones are so romance centric it fucking hurts. "Kochanie" translated most often as honey or love, is really just dedicated to your romantic partner, you really wouldn't use it in the way Vex does. And like sure I think we all know i'm always here for perc'ahlia content but this scene is so good because it isn't really about their romance, not at this point of time at least. i guess the translation just adds a romantic subtext to not only Vex's iconic line but also Percy's reaction and i'm... well not angry but kinda disappointed. In conclusion we need more platonic petnames in polish/10

Bonus~

no stop getting inflected, you're so sexy haha- TTvTT i can't explain to you how much these images are making me cringe. there's nothing i wouldn't do to make sure people would stop inflecting english surnames the same way they do polish ones ywy De Rolów will actually haunt me in my dreams. If I ever become president, i'm putting in a new law where only polish or surnames ending in -wski can be inflected Please make it stop/10

....That's it. There's no point to this. Finally found a good use for being bilingual, nothing more.

#thank you for listening to my ted talk #no i don't have better things to do in my life #my polish teacher would be slighlty proud of me #she shouldn't be but still #tlovm #polish #the legend of vox machina #translation #cr #tlovm spoilers #technically #🌸
