[visual content blog recommendations]

we see fic recs all the time, but i don’t think i’ve ever seen rec lists for visual content (gif/art/gfx/etc.) creators! they’ve been dealing with a bunch of shit lately between reposts, tumblr garbage, etc., so i wanna shout-out some favorites. thank you for keeping us fed!!

disclaimer: this is not an exhaustive list!! if you have recommendations of your own, please feel free to expand on this yourself and/or drop some of your faves in the replies for others to see. self-promo is always welcome here, too ✨ p.s. some of these are recent finds for me, so pls expect to see more of them on my blog. eta: i will be adding more as i go!!

[bts]

@yooboobies — réka’s gif sets are *chef’s kiss* and the ART? omg. the talent!!! 😭 we simply have to simp.

@cordiallyfuturedwight — apart from being one of the coolest/funniest people i’ve found on army tumblr, i am a kayla stan because the niche themes for her gif sets (ex. bangtan turtlenecks series) feel like they’re made 👏🏻 for 👏🏻 me 👏🏻 even though they absolutely aren’t, lmao.

@hopeinthebox — the bts as reductress headline + incorrect bangtan series are probably my favorite pieces of content on the entire internet??? also, lizzy is absolutely gd hilarious. tags are 11/10. a blessing upon my dash.

@kimtaegis — i’m not visually artistic enough to say this in a way that makes sense, but annie’s gifs are just… stunning? like, the colors? idk about the process that goes into that, but i imagine it takes a lot of time/finesse to be this vivid.

@kithtaehyung — ryen is the renaissance man of army tumblr, fr. not only can she write (like!!!) but she’s multi-faceted and insanely creative with her graphic design. i want her to tutor me, lmao.

@raplinenthusiasts — ooohhhhh my god. the coloring of their gifs makes my brain go brrrrtttt. this bts x the office set is on my “always reblog” list; i’ll share it every time i come across it.

@heybaetae — this set in particular is on my “always reblog” list, no matter how many times i’ve done so already. also, idk how to describe this, but kelli’s gifs are just…. crispy 🤌🏻 like, so satisfying with the…. texture? filtering? contrast? i’m an idiot re: editing terms, but go peep them and you’ll know what i’m trying to say.

@kth1 — literally who could ever forget maggie’s 100 days of (member) series??? the amount of work that had to go into that? unfathomable.

@jeurias — i want to wallpaper my house and office with their gfx. i’m deadass.

@jinstronaut — emmeline has been doing her “a jin a day while he’s away” series for OVER 250 DAYS NOW. i have never been nor will i ever be able to commit to anything to this level.

[multi/skz/atz/svt/etc.]

@starryoong — do not get me started on starry’s paintings, sketches, etc. because i will never shut up. ever. j’adore 🫠 is also a five-star human being.

@irlvernon — my queue is probably 80% max gifs at any given time. god-tier, fr. a must-follow for carats, as far as i’m concerned.

@vcrnons — incredible gifs, lovely human, and also the writer of some of my favorite svt fics??? we stan.

@yelhsaart — i don’t have any words for how much i love their art so please imagine guttural screaming instead. asdfghjkl!!!

@hizuillu — ……breathtaking. legitimately stunning skz art. like…… i have heart palpitations.

@snug-gyu — THE USE OF COLORS. i’m always a simp for pantone-inspired sets; they just scratch an itch in the back of my brain, and BOY HOWDY, is my brain satisfied 😵‍💫

@yunwooz — again, i have no idea what i’m talking about when it comes to the gif-making process, but the colors!!! the COLORS!!! like, taking a mv that’s not super vivid/is fairly greyscale and bringing it to life? ya know????

@booskwan — you want incredible gifs? they’ve got em. you want stunning gfx? they’ve got em. seriously, idk what to tell you except “pause right here and go follow immediately”.

@haechannabelle — listen……. annabelle’s art style is 😗🤌🏻 (that’s a chef’s kiss). the use of color, and the technique, and and and — ! ALSO, i must mention that she took, like, 50 hours to compile a boycott-friendly k-pop playlist. their vibes are simply impeccable.

A note to my friends

A Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and a general Happy Holidays all round. 2020 has been whack to say the least, I’m not going to even start on all that has happened. In amongst it all you guys have been there for me through ups and downs, whether you know it or not. To those who created Christmas gifts, I cannot even begin to send endless thank yous that mean enough. Life has been busy, and I’ve been lacking in social and creative energy, but know you all mean something to me.

Just a few special shout outs below, if I haven’t mentioned you specifically it doesn’t mean I haven’t noticed you or left you out on purpose. Also heads up I’m not drafting anything so messages are as is.

@dontdowhatisayandnobodygetshurt Matt, bro. I love that I can send you random shit at all hours of the night out of nowhere, and you’re always enthusiastic and sometimes wholesome in your response 😉 our games of Among Us have been some of the best. Here’s to another god-knows-how-many years more of friendship

@melapede Mel, you have been there from the start, through thick and thin. They say true friendship is when you can talk again after months without speaking like nothing has changed. You truely mean a lot and I wish you and Candy Corn all the best, I look forward to our customer service bitchfest 💛

@supervalcsi Réka, my little enabler! I love our late night chats while binging tv shows, my watch list is a mile long due to you and your impeccable taste! You get me, and I look forward to more 💛

@spacetimewraithwrites Don! I am so so so proud of you you funky little writer! You are such an amazing human being, so incredibly strong, I can’t wait to buy your books 😉 💛

@johnnyshellby Enna, you are one incredible human being! Through thick and thin you pump out amazing pieces of writing, you have such a gentle soul I wish you the utmost best in life!

@nghynnes Eli you are 50 different kinds of incredible, I am so immensely proud of you and all that you have achieved so far. You deserve all the love and hugs in the world. 💛 if everyone were half as strong as you the world would be a much better place.

@daethsticks Chloe you have no idea how much I adore your sense of humour and presence on my dash. Thank you for being a little light in the dark

There are oh so many more of you that I could talk about but I’m going to end this thing here. To all my mutuals and followers, thank you, and wishing you an absolutely fabulous 2021

SHIP REQUEST ⎯ Réka / vhsdrexms

Fandom(s): Peaky Blinders, MCU, The Witcher, Celebrities MASTERLIST Request from: I’m Réka, nickname Ré. i'm 5'5" and on the skinny side because of an ED. I have long brown hair with blonde balayage and dark brown eyes. I would say I’m ambitious and smart, but really impulsive and don't always think before saying or doing something. I can appear as cold and bitchy but once we get close, I’m clingy and protective. I have a problem with building stable friendships/relationships because of BPD, so if that happens, those people are truly worth it. I tend to shut loved ones out while going through a rough patch but I can love deeply. I’m opinionated and loud, I stand up for anything and anyone I believe in. My hobbies include reading, writing and krav maga. I’m bi so any gender is fine. I don't exactly look for anything specific in a partner, but I have a thing for "cold hands, warm heart". (edited)

A/N Hi hun, I truly hope you like who I chose <3

I SHIP YOU WITH: THOMAS SHELBY, NATASHA ROMANOFF, YENNEFER, AND HENRY CAVILL

Thomas may be a dick in the show, but not in my world :D I think he’d appreciate your ambition and would honestly find your intellect attractive. Tommy would relate to you in regards of your cold exterior but I don’t think he’d appreciate the clinginess that much. He would enjoy reading anything you write and would support you if you ever work toward becoming published.

He would definitely use his status to help you out (but if you told him to stop, he’d reluctantly listen). Tommy would love how opinionated you can be and I feel like you two would “argue” a lot. (not angrily, for fun) He would definitely relate towards shutting people out but I think you two would actually open up to one another? Because of the similarities?

Tom would do his best to understand your BPD and would help you through your ED. I don’t think he’d mind you being bisexual because he’s a rather accepting person. You two have a lot of similarities and I think you’d work well together if you worked out any issues during the relationship.

Natasha would like your clinginess because despite how she may show herself to the world, she loves being loved by someone she loves. (what a mouthful-) She would understand what its like having a few issues mentally and would support your through and through.

She’d probably find it adorable how you don’t think before you speak (unless it gets you in trouble...) and would tease you about it. Natasha would respect it when you push her away because she knows everyone copes differently and wouldn’t try and push you to open up.

I think you two would work well because Natasha’s really open-minded and caring. She’s been through a lot and that makes her compassionate and understanding, she wouldn’t ever belittle you or make you feel like shit (intentionally).

Yen would find your writing so interesting and would probably request to read everything you write. She’d definitely use magic to impress you and would find your intelligence so wonderfully attractive. Yennefer would appreciate how despite your struggles, you too push on and live as best as you can.

She’d definitely be really protective of you and sometimes clingy as well. I don’t think she’d be bothered by your cold exterior since she too has a wall built up around herself for protection. 

You two would do well together because she’s been through a fucking lot and wouldn’t judge you for anything. She’d support your wholly and would make sure you felt loved and happy at all times. 

Henry would adore your height, I have a feeling he enjoys shorter partners because it makes him feel like a protector. He would admire your strength and ambition. I think he would honestly love helping you with your writing and would show you his writing in return.

He’d love how clingy you can get and would always enjoy the extra attention. Henry wouldn’t be bothered by your sudden mental distance if you’re ever going through something, but he would definitely remind you to come to him if needed. He would learn as much as he can about BPD just so he can understand how it makes you feel and so he can be as helpful as he can.

He would enjoy doing Krav Maga with you! I think you two would be a good pair because he’s super loving and warm. And really fucking kind, Henry wouldn’t ever put you in harms way and he’d make sure you were safe at all times.

2019 in a nutshell

So, it’s here. The final minutes of 2019 have passed and we just stepped into a whole new year, a whole new decade (at least in my time zone). This time, it really is a blank page. I won’t let the 2010s define the 2020s. I won’t let the horrible year this has been and all the bad memories it has produced get me down in the next decade. 

2019 was filled with tears and suffering, and even though I can’t say for sure that I’m completely ready for a new beginning, I’m almost there. I’m on my way to grow, to be a better person and to finally recover. I’m also going to try and be more active this coming year, so you’d be able to enjoy my content just again (I hope). 

To all the people whom I might have hurt this year: I’m honestly, terribly sorry. Please, forgive me for everything. I know I’ve been going through a lot of rough changes, sometimes causing to hurt the ones I love the most, but I can make it better, I promise. For real, this time.

However, 2019 hasn’t been entirely awful. And that is thanks to the following people who’ve always been there for me (for whatever reason, I really do wonder why sometimes):

@mahvericks Manon, sweetheart. I’m starting with you because you’re a real Queen and one of my bestest friends on this hellsite. Thank you for always being there for me, no matter what. 2019 didn’t treat either of us well, but I’m hoping the next decade is going to be filled with sunshine and laughter for you. Thank you for being my guardian angel, basically and calming me down or making me laugh right when I needed it. You’re filled with light and goodness, never let anyone or anything take that away from you.

@ironmandeficiency My Yeehaw Girl Jess. I know we haven’t spoken in a long-long time, but I’m hoping the end of the year wasn’t too bad. You have never failed to make me laugh and cheer me up, and I’ll forever be thankful for that. You’re such an icon, you deserve all the happiness in the world and I’m hoping you’re going to get it some time soon. Thank you for making my 2019 a better year simply by existing. See you more in 2020!

@awwy228 My love Ally. I know, I know. We’ve been through a lot. I’m so sorry for all the times I’ve hurt you. I hope you know it was all unintentional, and I never meant to make you sad. You’re the softest, most beautiful soul I’ve ever met and I’m hoping that 2020 will treat you well. Thank you for being my sunshine on the cloudy days and extra thank you for all the amazing memories we have managed to make on the way. I love you 3000.

@targaryenimagines My baby Eleana. We barely ever talk which is a shame, but you still managed to make my 2019 a much brighter year to live. I hope you know that I love you to bits and I’ll deifnitely text you more this year. I’m so happy that we’ve become friends and I know that I can always talk to you about basically anything since you’re always here to listen to me. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me and keep up the great work- I’m dying for your writing here!

@blushycarol My girl Cay! I know we’ve barely managed to get to know each other since we haven’t talked enough but I’m hoping this is going to change this year! You’re such a sweet girl and I can’t wait to talk to you and get to know you even more. Here’s to a great year!

@peachy-parkers My sweetheart Clara. We haven’t spoken in ages but I’m really hoping that you’re feeling much better now. 2019 didn’t treat you the best, I know but here I am wishing for a much better decade for you when you get all the happiness and sunshine you deserve. You’re such an icon and I’m so happy to have got to know you, it has been a real pleasure and I know we’re on our way to make even more amazing memories. All my love to you, babygirl.

@tonystankhere My baba Cole. I truly love you so much, you’re such a pure soul and I honestly feel so bad that I haven’t texted you in such a long while. I’m hoping you’re okay and the end of the year/decade was amazing. We definitely should talk more and get to know each other even better in 2020 because you’ve always been there for me despite of me being so ungrateful. Here’s to us deepening our friendship and talking much more this year and all the ones to come.

@vcdanvers My sweet baby Alie. I’m leaving you second-last because you’re one of those people that I feel like I’ve really got to know in a really short time and it honestly feels like you’re my big sister. Thank you for always being there for me to guide me on the way, even (or especially) through the rough patches. I’m really hoping that your problems have been/are getting solved because you truly deserve the whole world and nothing should stop you from getting it. I honestly feel like I am able to tell you anything- you’re such a trustworthy, genuine and incredibly wise person. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me this year. Here’s to a better start, baby-faced angel ;)

@sunlightbby My ineffable wife Ari. You’re the last one on this list because you’re the purest, sweetest, most angelic soul I’ve ever met in my whole life. If Alie is my big sister, then you’re definitely my little one. We’ve been through so much together this year and I can’t even list all the reasons why I should be thankful to you. If God exists, then sure as hell she did a good job creating you. Don’t ever change, my babe- always stay so genuine and don’t ever let the bastards get you down. You’re such a special creation of the Earth and I feel so lucky to call you my friend. I hope we’ll be able to talk even more this year and I’m wishing you all the happiness this world can offer you.

Thank you to all my other mutuals and followers that I haven’t had the chance to get to know better. You all are amazing as shit and I hope that 2020 will be a year of utter happiness for you. Thank you guys for everything. Now go, pop a champagne, watch the fireworks, kiss someone or go to bed and sleep- whatever you’d like. But make sure you have a great start of the new decade and forget about all the sorrows of the last one.

Happy New Year, Everyone!

All the love

Réka xx

Sunrise vol. 2

Let’s just admit that this post is soooo random. The total opposite of my previous one I wrote exactly a year ago. And the reason behind it? Easy. I re-read my previous post and it made me think. It made me think about how much has changed in a year. In a single year. It still surprises me that as we’re living our life we don’t even realize how things are changing, unless we take a moment and look back. Last year when I wrote that thanksgiving post I couldn’t even imagine all the things that have already happened to me during this year. I’ve started uni, but right before I’ve started it I freaked out of course, you know you gotta stay true to yourself even if it means getting an anxiety attack before everything that is new and scary hahaha. When I wrote that post last year only one thing was before my eyes: I’ve finished a huge chapter of my life successfully and I didn’t even know if I’m ready for the next one or not, but I didn’t even care. I was happy with how things were, I was happy I got stronger. I was just simply waiting for the newest chapter and back then I had no idea how many challenges I will need to face. And right now, I’m wondering that holy shit... I went through A LOT during this year. Since I’ve started Uni and moved to our capital city. Right now I’m just simply amazed about this whole year. You know why? Because life threw some of the hardest stuff at me, and I could kind of deal with all of that. Not in a perfect way, of course because I fucked many things up, let’s be honest, but what matters is that I could deal with them and I could make it through my first year of Uni. Seriosuly, woaah. The most “woah thing” for me is that, you know, I have an anxiety disorder and I thought that I’m gonna be struggling at uni to deal with the 90 minute classes, but say what? There was only one occasion when I had to leave from class. ONE. And this is what’s the most unbelievable thing for me. Like sinceriously (yeah, thanks Stephen Amell for creating this word), I thought that there are gonna be numerous times when I can’t control my anxiety and that I’m gonna be struggling so much. Okay, well, there were times when I was struggling and there were times when I thought I couldn’t take it anymore, but somehow I could still go on, I kept moving every single time, no matter what. I’ve had issues with the major I chose for myself, I’ve had problems in the field of relationships (mainly talking about love here... and about a particular person) but despite all of this, despite all the failures, I made it through another year, and guess what? I have to say that it was one for the books. It was actually great, and I felt like I was actually living my life. And I AM actually living my life almost to the fullest. At least I guess, I’d love to believe that and I hope so haha. :D I’m not just getting through the days. I’m not just trying to get through the days. (Well okay, there are some days when I feel like I just have to get through them, but everyone has those days sometimes.) And this leads me back to my post I wrote last year. Because those people, who I have mentioned in that post, are still my favorite ones. It’s easy why. Because I can count on every one of them anytime.

I can count on Our Last Night, yes I can count on a band, all because they always make me happy, even if it only means listening to their songs. And they still remind me every time when I need it that I CAN make it to the sunrise. :) I can still count on Woody for writing his amazing blog posts, and for sending me those weekly emails every Friday, to make my weeks better. Sometimes he literally saves the week with those emails. And yeah, he better be prepared for getting a couple of hugs from me next time we meet, in October. <3 And speaking of them, there’s someone who came to my mind who I can also count on: Martin - for being such an amazing friend and helping me whenever I need his help. Even if I feel like I probably annoy the hell out of him with all the overthinking I’m doing sometimes haha. <3 I can count on Adri for never judging me, and for helping me coming to my senses every time I need a reminder to stop talking and thinking about bullshit. <3 I can count on Réka, that she’ll always be there for me, even if I’m talking shit and even if she has no idea how to react to that. <3 I can count on Zsófi. Hell yes, I can count on her, in every aspects of life, like literally. <3 I can count on Ilka any freaking time. Like literally anytime, she’s there for me no matter what. She’s one of my best friends and I just love that I can talk to her about anything and there are no taboos with her. <3 I can count on Klári, yeeepp, another new name on the list, because she’s just simply amazing and she’s become one of my best friends at uni. <3 I can count on Evi for ALWAYS having time for me and for always giving me the best hugs every time we meet. <3 I can count on Meme, my main biatch. <3 I can count on Berni for coming to shows with me, and for being sooooo freaking understanding. <3 I can count on Joanna for having the funniest and best convos about everything. <3 I can count on Roxy, of course, cause she’s still my female Woody and always will be, no matter what, and she’s seriously the best if I need any advice. <3 I can count on Imaani for just being her awesome self and being the same person as me hahaha, seriously, we’re literally the same person many times, and she’s the absolute best person in the world, I have no idea what on earth would I do without her. <3 I can count on Galka for understanding all of my crazy stuff and even tho we didn’t really talk that much during this year, I love that any time we start talking, we can continue right where we’ve stopped before. <3

And so that. This, right now is not a thanksgiving, this is counting. Ohhhhh hahah, I’m ridiculous, just made this thing all about maths, please, I guess this is where I should stop writing and go to sleep. :DD Nah, just kidding, so let’s get back to serious mode. All in all, I felt the need to write this post because I just needed to let this out. All the things I was thinking about when I read last year’s post again. I still can’t say thank you enough to all of these people, and I get all emotional every time I realize how great they are and how much they have helped me and it just makes me feel all kinds of grateful. So huge shot out to them, because they make my life whole and they help me through the night to make it to the sunrise. ;) <3
