MAKE ME CHOOSE:

Anthony Mackie has been nominated as Best Hero in the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards.

i just ordered pizza!

A flurry of hair and, God, plaid runs by him in a beeline to the door.

“Hey!” he calls out. “What the hell are you wearing?”

Jasmine - the aforementioned blur - retraces her steps and crosses her arms with a scowl. “Clothes.”

Her idea of clothes is jean shorts, tank top, long-sleeved flannel button-up, and Timberlands. Why?

“Smartass.” Sam scowls. “You’re wearing long-sleeves in August. In D.C.! Forgive me for questioning your logic here.”

“Don’t most fathers chastise their children for not wearing enough clothes?” Jasmine cocks her head. “I am comfortable in this.”

Sam cedes defeat with a nod. This is something he’s working on trying break from his generation - the need to conform and to judge others for not doing so. Obviously, working at Starbucks is really fucking up that goal for him. “Where are you going?”

“Kate’s.” Jasmine eyes, ironically, his own choice of flannel - pajama pants. “You got big plans? Going out on your day off?”

His plans? Probably rub one out. Take a nap. Watch television. “Big plans, yeah,” he says.

Jasmine sighs. “You gotta put yourself out there, Dad.”

“I’m out there six days a week, and on the seventh day, I rest.”

“How godly of you,” she replies dryly. “But you know what I mean. You got this hard shell of yourself that you hide behind, but you need to, just…”

Sam raises an eyebrow. “Crack it open?”

“Yeah, something like that.” Leaning her weight on the arm of the couch, she stretches to give her father a kiss on the forehead. “It’s been two years. You deserve a break from this.”

He pulls a pillow to his chest as Jasmine waves goodbye. She means well, he knows. And she’s right to an extent. But mourning doesn’t allow time for breaks. It’s a 24/7 job that just becomes easier to work as time goes on.

Sam lies down, curled around the pillow. It’s not really a day of rest - he has class tonight. It’s hours away but will be here before he knows it.

Maybe just a nap today, he thinks.

15. Have you ever had gifs stolen and reposted?

to my knowledge, not on tumblr. i’ve seen a few of them floating around twitter, though.

16. How long have you been making gifs?

since august of 2015.

17. 10 sets, 8 sets, 6 sets? How many gifs to you prefer in a set?

it depends on what works best for whatever gifset i’m making. aesthetically i think i might enjoy 4-gif gifsets the most.

18. For the aesthetic, for the laughs, or for the feels what your preference?

ALL OF THE ABOVE. sometimes i make gifs (especially of bucky) purely to color it differently and focus on the aesthetic, sometimes i make gifs hoping to get laughs out of ppl, and sometimes i make gifs with the hope that those who reblog it will yell at me in their tags.

19. What is your gifting process like?

20. Mac or PC?
