the strident hisses of a nobody

me using a vpn I pay for (app 1) to be able to download an hd version of something i want to gif (downloading it via app 2) screen capping the specific scene I want using another app (app 3), opening up photoshop (app 4 i also pay for) as my pc fan sounds like it’s going to take off into outer space at any second, uploading the frames into scripts, reversing the screencaps, turning it into video timeline, cropping the scene, resizing the scene, sharpening the scene, spending literal hours over colorings, adding text if i wish which depending on the complexity could take more time, and repeating the process all over depending on how many gifs are in a single set just for it to get 93 likes and 10 reblogs, be saved and uploaded to twitter / pinterest / instagram without credit and on top of all that tumblr decides to yeet the quality
