castiel + tfw, “running up that hill”, kate bush: mae seraphcastiel posting a gifset that’s not for someone’s birthday or event/celebration? sus behavior. this song is so iconic though, and it’s been on my “use for edits” playlist for forever, so as soon as i heard it on stranger things i figured it was finally time to make something for it. the lyrics always reminded me of cas so i knew the edit had to be from his perspective, but i decided to put it in more of a familial rather than romantic context. i’ve been hyperfixated on stranger things lately so going off of that obvious inspiration, i also made the colors much more vibrant and neon/iridescent to give it an 80s, synthwave-ish aesthetic. choosing which scenes to use was relatively easy, the hardest part was picking which deancas moment fit the lyrics best. i wanted the edit to focus on cas literally “swapping places” with someone to relieve them of their specific burden (sam with his broken mind wall, jack being marked for death) but surprisingly, there isn’t an exact moment like that between dean and cas. sure, cas will offer himself up as sacrifice for dean in general to save the world, but not necessarily by taking his place to save dean from a specific consequence or burden. ultimately, i ended up choosing the mark of cain fight since later in the series cas (kinda) does offer to take the mark instead of dean, but also that scene is fun to color lol. very very happy with how this whole gifset turned out, might be one of my favorites i’ve made so far this year. 

castiel + doctor who: some tasteful superwho for @good-things-do-happen-dean​‘s birthday! it’s been a minute since i’ve watched DW but this quote has always lived in my head rent free and i feel like any content creator worth their salt has used a doctor who quote in an edit at least once so might as well lmao. obviously this had to be another cas-centric gifset, and i wanted the coloring and composition to reflect the otherworldly and reverential tone of the quote. originally the coloring was gonna be much warmer with more of an orange and green color scheme, but i felt it looked too similar to the overall coloring of the previous edit and didn’t match the aesthetic i was going for. swtiched it over to a cooler purple and blue scheme, and the intensified black shadows made the finished panels really pop. when in doubt, throw some more black on it. 

dean + “line/age”, brandon melendez: another birthday edit, this time for @chitaquadean​. apparently i’m incapable of making a normal happy dean edit, so sorry for the angst marlo skdjslkdf. coloring this was a lot of fun, i haven’t done much grayscale effects like this before so getting the figures in each panel to look faded while everything else reminded vibrant was a fun challenge to make look good. the most difficult part imo, though, was getting the text to look right. normally when i use poetry for edits i break up the text between panels to fit whatever is going on in the scene, regardless of where the line breaks actually are in the piece. but for this work, the line breaks were such a part of the over all narrative that i wanted to keep it exactly how the poet intended it to look. took a little fiddling and layout adjusting on my part but i think the finished work looks really cool. 

the good spn that lives in my head — “should i stay or should i go”: well. i sure did make this huh. i knew i had to make something spn x st related for @lengthofropes​‘s follower celebration; i knew i was gonna do this as soon as the celebration announcement was posted. did i still procrastinate and end up having to rush it? ofc i did :)))) i geniunely don’t know how i feel about this edit - on one hand, i do think it came together alright and i’m glad i was (mostly) able to pull it all together in such a short amount of time (this whole thing took me about three days from collecting usable scenes to final post; for context, the previous installment of this series took about a week and a half of work). the claire and steve panel is my absolute favorite and probably the one thing i’ve made this month that i’m proudest of. on the other hand, there’s definitely some blending sloppiness and other gifmaking errors that i could’ve done better if i had given myself more time. two panels the final gifset make me want to tear my hair out in particular, and i’m sad that i wasn’t able to add robin and eddie into the mix since i used mostly season two clips (because that’s the season when most of them were together and alive lmao). definitely not my finest installment in the series, though it does hold a special place in my heart for combining two of my favorite shows. maybe i’ll go back later once i have more time to clean it up. or maybe i  can redeem myself with a part two...

and now some of my favorite edits, fics and art from this past month:

deancas + “untitled”, @cardsharps:  this piece is one of my absolute favorite works from ely, so ofc i had to make a gifset of it for their birthday! that shot of dean knocking over the angel is easily in my top ten shots in spn history, and i went back and forth on which of cas’ deaths to use for the second part of the poem lol. ultimately went with the s12 death since it featured dean kneeling, and decided to mess around with a double exposure style to add some grittiness and sense of disorientation to the edit. very simple overall but i really like how the colors and effects came out.

deancas + “jesus at the gay bar”, jay hulme: for the sake of being honest with myself, i gotta say that i am not very happy with this gifset. i had so many plans for spn pride week and i wanted to make something for all seven days, but due to work and personal reasons, that ended up not being feasible. but even though i was so stressed and tired and just,,, not feeling good about myself or my place in the community at the time, i still pushed myself to make something for the event because i felt an obligation to do something. like it was expected of me ig?? though i’m not sure who exactly was putting that expectation on me other than myself lol. and because i was feeling that (self-inflicted) pressure to deliver something, i kinda just. threw something together. don’t get me wrong, i love this poem and it’s been in my edit inspo folder for forever, and i’m so glad i got to use it since it fit the day one prompt perfectly. but i made the gifset look super basic and i rushed through the coloring and i pretty much just gave up on the font entirely, and it’s obvious (to me at least) that barely any time and effort was put into this. idk i guess i’m just disappointed in myself for  putting something out that i’m not even 75% happy with. even if i’m not entirely happy with how the final product came out, i can usually at least say that i did my best to make something that i can be proud of, but that’s not the case this time. idk. maybe i’ll remake this edit once i’m feeling more inspired. 

cas against humanity (part two): another gifset i made for spnprideweek. feeling slightly better about this one than the previous edit, even if i did just reuse an idea from last year’s pride event. again, was really not Feeling Great so this coloring is borrowed from a different gifset i’d already made with some minor tweaks and adjustments. i do think it at least looks good, and the saturated color scheme works really well, and doing these kinds of crack gifsets are always fun. but like the previous gifset, there’s definitely some stuff that i could’ve fixed and made cleaner that i just,,, didn’t. i told myself that i wouldn’t force myself to make edits for the sake of making edits this year, and so far i’ve been pretty good about cutting myself some slack and taking breaks when i need to. yeah this past month was disappointing, but at least i know now how putting this kind of pressure on myself can affect my creativity and output. good lesson learned. and now some of my favorite edits, fics and art from this past month:

spn demons + revelation 13:18: had a lot of fun making this for @lesbiansuperhell​‘s 666 celebration! i don’t make much demon-related gifsets, so it was a nice change of pace to work with scenes featuring meg, crowley, and abbadon. originally, the color scheme was gonna be a stereotypical red and black aesthetic, but i felt like an orange/green theme would be less conventional, plus it helped more closely tie it to the color scheme of the trueform!cas gifset that i had previously made that follows a similar  design concept. playing with the “666″ idea, i also wanted to incorporate some of that numerology within the panels themselves by making sure each gifset had three figures - like the trio of goat heads i gave crowley (thanks youtube for the 3hr hd footage of wild goats i used lol). really really happy with how this gifset came out, it came together exactly how i wanted it to look, which is pretty rare for me sdkdljsdjsdl.

castiel + the ten commandments:  very on brand of me to serve a lil light blasphemy in honor of @angelfishofthelord‘s creator celebration. unlike the previous edit, i came into this gifset with only the vaguest idea of how i wanted it to look. i mostly just had a list of possible scenes i could use that matched each commandment, focusing on cas’ character development prior to s9 since i felt that was when he was the most “angelic” and thus, would have felt greater remorse over breaking his father’s rules. since this would be a longer gifset (9 panels!) i also knew i had to vary the panel layouts to keep it from getting monotonous; getting the right mix of overlays, two-shots, montage, and blending to make it look cohesive yet interesting was harder than i thought it would be. honestly, nothing about this gifset was easy to make, mostly bc i was so indecisive over everything from the color scheme to the font and text layout. that being said, this is probably my favorite gifset that i made this month, and will definitely be on my list of favorite gifsets for this year. very proud of this one.     

[ castiel +the passion of christ in artwork]: speaking of blasphemy, lol. not entirely sure if comparing a supernatural character’s narrative to thee jesus of nazareth’s divine sacrifice via gifset is the best use of my 20 years of catholic upbringing, but at least i’m using it for something. not much to say about this, coloring the panels wasn’t as fun as the other artnatural edits i’ve made in the past, since most of the artworks had very similar color schemes to begin with and i didn’t have to do as much to match the spn scene to the art piece. still, it was a nice challenge to put this together, and i enjoyed thinking about which parts of cas’ story fit the story of easter. my favorite panel is the christ carrying his cross/cas carrying dean parallel - gave myself massive brainworms when i thought of that. literally had to go lay down for a bit.  

castiel and rowena, “best friend”: THEEEEE cas and rowena theme song for @castiellesbian‘s birthday! i’ve been meaning to make a cas and rowena gifset to this song for SO LONG and i’m so glad i finally had a reason to make it lol. i wanted to go for an early 2000s, bubblegum pink, hazy music video aesthetic, and i got to practice adding sparkles and glitter effects to my gifs which was sooo much harder than i anticipated, it took an embarrassing amount of time before i figured out how to make it look decent lol. love love love how this edit turned out, will definitely be using these kinds of effects more for future gifsets.

demon!dean + bitch from da souf by @deanandkastiel

deancas + “her sweet kiss”, the witcher:  ngl, i’ve never seen a single episode of the witcher but i love @contemplativepancakes and i knew there was a bard character so some quick googling and youtube research helped me make this lil birthday edit. the warm, muted color was a challenge to get consistent across the entire gifset, but i think it fits the vibe of the lyrics and the overall aesthetic of set so i’m happy with how ti came out. the middle panel might actually be my favorite though, i tend not to use black and white coloring in my work  but making all three panels with the same green/orange/blue color scheme made it feel too busy. the off-white and black makes the center gif really pop, and the static effect keeps it from being too boring lol. 

castiel and jack + “verses about moscow”, marina tsvetaeva: some dadstiel content for thee @dadstiel​’s birthday. while looking for scenes to use, i realized how many pretty shots of cas and jack there were in the show in which they were walking together/huddled together and talking. it actually reminded me of a childhood photo of mine where my mom had taken a photo of me and my dad talking from behind while we were hiking, so decided to make the panels look like photographs that were creased and worn from being in cas’ wallet. as simple as the gifset is, coloring actually proved to be pretty difficult bc i wanted them to be vibrant but still look realistic and film-like. i think i went through three different coloring styles before i was finally happy with it. i also had originally planned on putting a bunch of film strip overlays on it, but i decided less was more so that it wouldn’t detract from the gentleness of the aesthetic. 

[ castiel + iconic artwork ]: posted back-to-back gifsets on march 4th bc it was also @sarahblakes​’ birthday! i’d been meaning to make a second part of my artnatural series ever since i made the first one two years ago, and zoë and i first became friends over our love for art and museums, so this felt like the perfect time to finally create a part two. originally the plan was to do castiel + american artwork but i couldn’t find enough pieces that matched spn scenes so i expanded the parameters to “iconic” works. as with the first gifset of the series, i wanted to match the coloring of the spn scene to the color of the artwork. as busy as they were, the easiest to match was the nighthawks and golconda scenes. surprisingly, the ones that took the most time and adjustments were two one-color dominant works - guernica and christina’s world. a lot of time was spent tweaking the yellows and whites bit by bit, and then posting them on tumblr to see how the coloring changed, and then adjusting again to compensate the tone difference. unlike the first gifset, i chose not to put the art/episode titles on the gif panels itself so that the similarities between the art and the scene wouldn’t be covered by text; i think it made the overall gifset look cleaner and it made the caption more interesting. ver very pleased with how the whole thing came together, and will definitely be adding to this series in the future. 

castiel, “heaven save us”: another birthday edit, this time for @lizstiel​! i am not immune to mcrnatural, and i felt like this song was perfect for end!verse cas. i don’t normally use pinks in my color schemes, so this blue/pink/gray combo was a nice change and i love the red/pink contrast -  that was a complete accident and to me, it’s kinda reminiscent of the red/white contrast on the three cheers album cover so it seemed fitting lol. 

sam/eileen, “my lagan love”: tbh, i wasn’t sure if i was gonna have time to make a gifset for the saileen anniversary, so this gifset was born out of me panicking and slapping something together during my hour lunch break. nowadays, most of my gifsets take at minimum 2-3 hours to make, but in the three years i’ve been making spnedits i’ve learned a few tips and tricks to cut down on time when i really need to: that’s why this three-panel gifset is based only on one scene, with “simple” coloring (aka coloring that i had been messing around with for a different gifset that i ended up copypasting onto this one instead lol) and my go-to font in white. the text come from a traditional irish song (highly recommend listening to the hozier version of it), so i found actual scans of the music sheets from the 1940s and used the same overlay technique from my destiel first anniversary edit to add texture to the gifset (and create some sort of cohesion between the two wedding anniversary posts). looking at it now, i do see some things i would’ve done differently had i had more time to mess around with it, but for an hour-long rush job i’m pretty proud of how it turned out.

the good spn that lives in my head — “TVC15″:  another installment in the most frustrating  and simultaneously satisfying series i’ve ever created akjsdfalhdf. of the four gifsets i’ve made so far for this series, this was by far the hardest and most time consuming of them all. i guess it didn’t dawn on me when i decided to make a cas-centric changing channels-esque, “superwholock” inspired episode that not only would i have to do my usual comb-thorugh of spn episodes  for usable scenes, but ALSO comb-throughs of ALL THE OTHER SHOWS :)))))). if i had to guess,  the prep work and “research” i had to do for this gifset took about 4 hours of trial and error- and that was before i even began putting the scenes together to create the manip. (i went into a bit of detail re: the tv shows i ended up choosing for the edit here.) like the artnatural edit i made, i wanted to match the coloring of the spn episode clips to the coloring of the tv shows i would be adding cas into to further the idea that cas was “crossing” into a different universe with each show. the good omens panel was the easiest one to make (it was actually the first one i had thought of when i was planning the gifset), and in a shocking twist of events, the ted lasso panel was the hardest. the number of times i thought about scrapping it completely and using a different tv show,,,,,,,, i may have had to walk a few laps around my bedroom so i wouldn’t scream in frustration lol. honestly, i’m still not fully happy with that panel, but it is what it is. the drag race panel was a last minute addition, i needed one more show for dean and sam to see cas in and i wanted some kind of either a sitcom or a reality show to contrast the dramas and comedies i had already used; other contenders i considered were th office and keeping up with the kardashians, but drag race ended up being the easiest, funniest, and (imo) most in-character choice. the first and last panels of gifset were actually the most fun for me to make — idk if anyone caught it, but those shots of the tv in both gifs are faked, the actual shot tv in the spn scene was too shaky and small for me to simply overlay the riverdale/rpdr episode over it, so i added a thick black border around the new show to make a new “tv” and added some purple color correction that i timed to flash in line with the flashing purple lights of the original magical tv that was in scoobynatural. literally the tiniest adjustments that i’m sure nobody really noticed, but i feel like it helped make the doctored scenes look more realistic and i’m kinda proud of myself for taking the time to put in those little details haha.  and now some of my favorite edits, fics, and art from this past month:

trueform!cas, [ luke 2:8 ] : some slight body horror for @carrotfricker​’s follower celebration ~ genuinely might be one of the most difficult gifsets i’ve ever made. i knew i wanted to do something inspired by liv’s incredible trueform graphics, and getting that gritty, scary otherworldly aesthetic involved a lot of layering and blurring and coloring effects that i had never done before so it was a fun challenge to learn new ps effects. what wasn’t as fun was the fact that i had to do a lot of those effects layer by layer lol these three panels took 15 separate gifs and nearly 40 hours to make. the coloring alone was 3 hours of trial and error. even though there are a LOT of things that i still could’ve done better in hindsight, however, i’m very happy with how this edit turned out and i’d love to do more trueform stuff like this in the future. new series maybe?

netflixnatural: february was a month of time-intensive gifsets for me apparently (that’s why i feel slightly less bad about myself for only making 3 edits lol). this gifset was almost as difficult as the trueform!cas was, if only due to the sheer number of gifs and coloring/aesthetic styles i had to make. i knew i wanted to do a netflix-style edit as soon as i heard that @deanskitchen and @dadstiel’s milestone celebration was highlighting fanfics, and narrowing down which fics to use was so incredibly difficult - i had a spreadsheet and everything with 15-20 of  my favorite works, plus what potential scenes i could use to emulate the story, what kind of coloring/aesthetic the fic’s “series” or “film” would have, etc. i ended up narrowing it down to 8 fics that were a mixture of what could be considered “drama”, “indie”, “romcom”, etc. (it was gonna be 9, but i ran out of time and i decided not to do any fics with OCs in the interest of only using SPN/SPN actor scenes, so unfortunately i wasn’t able to include the italian boyfriend scene :( next time!) from there, it was a matter of putting the clips together (with as much effort to pick scenes of dean and cas that were time-relevant to what seasons each fic took place as i could make work), creating different color gradings/editing styles to differentiate each series/film from the others, and adding effects as needed (i.e. making cas look like a ghost for “ghosts that we knew”). what ended up being a lifesaver when making all of these mini show/film reels was the fact that i actually made the posters for each work first -  they helped establish a vibe for each particular fic that i was able to match in the gifset. that being said, the making the posters was by far the hardest part of this edit; i looked at a lot of A24 posters and other indie/alt film promotional material for inspiration. and finally once alllllll of that was done, i put together the netflix layout, added in all the gifs, wrote up fake show/film descriptions, and added little fun touches like the different way each member of tfw 3.0 wrote their user name. piece of cake. i didn’t sleep for three days.

destiel, [ first meeting, 4.01 // genesis 1:1-5]: ngl, i was pretty burnt out after making the first two gifsets of this month and i pretty much had no creativity or energy left to think about what to make for the first destiel wedding anniversary. but like,,,, it’s not like i can’t not make anything for this, right? so i left one part of my brain thinking about what to make for this while i was working on the netflixnatural set, and i finally settled on my go-to trick of using bible verses. traditional first wedding anniversary gift is paper so originally i was gonna do like a bible/scrapbook thing of dean and cas scenes overlaid over bible pages of different gospel verses, and the gospel verse would be “changed” or “written over” by other characters to edit the bible verse into something related to destiel (i.e. “the gospel according to luke sam winchester, who had to watch his brother make heart eyes at an eldritch being for over a decade”, etc etc). that ended up not happening bc i couldn’t find a way to make it look right in the roughly 20 hours i had left before valentines day. (though, as an aside, i do still want to try and make something like this eventually). so instead i decided to focus on the book of gensis and the story of creation - something about it being the first book/verses of the bible, the creation of man, dean and cas’ first wedding anniversary, cas (re)creating dean from hell,,,, idk like i said i was floundering at this point lol. but i think it turned out all right in the end, overlaying bible pages on clips from 4.01 (again with that theme of firsts, their first time meeting), and the verse itself fit surprisingly well to the barn scene. i did go back and forth with the coloring (i tried a purple-ish red scheme to try and make it look more “valentines-y”) but the blue/green is pretty much synonymous with destiel and that episode in particular and i’m glad i went with that in the end. not a bad edit to end the month on.  

and now some of my favorite edits, fics, and art from this past month:


destiel + “blodeuwedd,” nala ni ghomhnaill:  first gifset of the year for @manethrens​‘s birthday! using textured overlays like this were never really my strong suit, so i decided to choose simpler shots with a more neutral/flat coloring so i could focus on getting the floral overlays to look right. the reddish/blue coloring actually comes from the flowers itself, the scene underneath is mostly desaturated. the deep black text is probably my favorite part of the gifset, idk how i layered it but i somehow got it to look almost like textured velvet with the white text of the poem in its original irish underneath.

trueform!cas + bible quotes: some rainbow trueform!cas for @justcastiel​’s creator celebration! wanted to do some coloring techniques i’d only started playing around with at the end of the year, so i did a lot of color inverting and layering the same kinds of adjustments with multiple different blend modes. added the black and white gradient border as a last minute addition to make the neon rainbow colors pop out even more. 

destiel + “war of the foxes”, richard siken: wasn’t really sure if this fit the “appeasement” prompt for @lengthofropes​‘s creator celebration suuuuper well lmao, but oh well. this gifset was all about oversaturation, really emphasizing the neon green/blue and bright orange to a level where even i wasn’t sure if it looked good. at one point dean looked like an oompa loompa dsldkfshdfkjlhs. i think it turned out alright tho and it really made the white text pop, which kinda helped balance the vibrance of the whole edit out.  

dean winchester + “if this isn’t nice, what is?”, kurt vonnegut: this was first birthday edit i posted for dean’s 43rd birthday bash but it was actually made after i had finished the fake birthday episode edit. originally, i was just gonna create that manip gifset and be done but i wanted to make an edit that was just centered around dean so convinced myself the night before the 24th to create something quick and it ended up taking me 7 hours :))) again, went with simpler coloring a) bc of time constrains and b) bc season 1 scenes are pretty hard to maintain a consistent color for  imo, and played around with some gradient boxes of different sizes just to add some interesting texture like i did with the true!form cas edit. 

the good spn that lives in my head — “keeping the faith”: another fake spn episode manip! definitely a goal of mine to make more of these this year, no matter how frustrating and difficult they are lol. coloring this was a bitch and a half — (un)surprisingly, the desaturated, low light, high shadow color grading of season 1 doesn’t play well with the flat light, orange filter of season 15. not to mention how difficult it was to find shots of season 1 dean that were even useable for the scenes i was creating; it took me 5 hours to find a shot of dean looking up and to the right for that last panel, and even then i ended up having to use a season 2 scene :/ ultimately glad with how it turned out, though i did have to rush it and there are coloring aspects of it i’m still not fully happy with. note to self not to procrastinate on these type of gifsets.

deancas, “letters to vera” by vladamir nabokov:  a little lakehouse edit for thee DCLU truther @mochadean​. making this was so stressful lol - i knew what i wanted it to look like but i had no idea where to start. even just finding a suitable quote to use took hours. the first and last panel came together easily enough (though i hate how cas is framed in that last shot, idk why the spn production team had such shitty camera work in the later seasons) but finding enough clips to make dean and cas look happy and domestic in a non-bunker setting   was an absolute nightmare. honestly, thank god kels’ birthday came after encounters was released, that dilf shot of misha in a blue hoodie was a lifesaver in more ways than one. would literally die for blue hoodie cas. 

jack and tfw, “we three kings”:  couldn’t pass up a chance to make an edit with one of my favorite christmas carols, especially since it fit surprisingly well with jack’s first episode. i actually wasn’t 100% sure what the biblical symbolism behind gold, frankincense, and myrrh were (it’s been a few years since i went to sunday school... or was a practicing catholic sddjskds), so i was legit surprised how the information i was able to research matched cas, dean, and sam’s story arcs so well. i’d give credit to the spn writing team for making such a strong parallel between jesus and jack but i doubt anything this good was planned by them on purpose lol. coloring this was a lot of fun too, it was a welcome change to simply adjust the orange tones to a more golden color scheme instead of having to do away with it completely. i really like how this edit came out, and i’m glad i was able to make something i can be fully proud of right before the end of the year.
