Cut this into what works for you. Want to do only one instead of five? Do it. Tag 2 people? Do it. This game is not your mum or the Apple App store to tell you what to do. But there are a couple of rules:
RULE 1: Review your creations over 2021. Tag some gifmakers/creators, friends and strangers to get them to do the same.
RULE 2: Link to the content, commentary optional.
5 (or more!) creations from others that made you smash the reblog button hard, closely followed by your āinspā tag or āfave tagā. Link to sets that started conversations, outstanding composition, coloring, etc.
4 creations of which youāre proud. These are goals you scored. Nothing to do with notes.
3 creations others loved. Include the one that got most notes, great comments, or the classic āhow dare you!ā
2 creations that stretched you as a creator: style, coloring, blending, text, etc. include the one that should have got more notes.
1 creation of yours that you find most aesthetically pleasing to the eye and self AND 1 creation that broke and (maybe remade you) as a creator ā we all have that one.
0 the creation that never was because nothing was working that day.
No need to be tagged to do this. Share what you all liked and made this year!!!
Overall comment on your creativity year 2021 ->
I saw so many others participating in this, so I decided to do the same!
5 (or more!) creations from others that made you smash the reblog button
@ghiblisdaily okay tagging your main so that you see this but the way that you color animation on your @animeshojo blog??? is so pretty!Ā I love this Kimi no na wa Your Name gifset especially!Ā I find animation so hard to color, but the gifset is so crisp, the colors are so vibrant, and you make the sunlight shine even brighter???Ā Gorgeous, my dear Annie!!! š
@maria7potter Iām so obsessed with your blog???Ā Good Omens and Broadway? šĀ I think you make some of the prettiest gifsets in the gomens fandom, tbh!Ā I absolutely love yourĀ an angel that looks very much in love with a demonĀ gifset, not only for making me want to cry, but also for how you colored it?Ā Those scenes you chose are some of the hardest scenes to color, imo, but the whole gifset looks so beautiful!!Ā Amazing work! šĀ (also I want to shout out your gomens + great comet set for the sole reason that it made me scream when I saw it--great comet is my favorite musical and combining my two favorite things in one post gave me a moment š )
@bidoctor I have always admired your gifs, Jelena, and remember going through your own wwditsedits tag when I first got into the show!Ā I especially love your Nadja + favorite moments pt 1 post!Ā I hope to start making gifs of this show at some point, but am sort of intimidated by how darkly lit all of the sets are lol but this gifset in particular is so bright and rich in color, Iām really impressed! šĀ Also, I want to shout out your nature series, which contains 30 gorgeous posts!!! You have always had a talent with vibrant color in your content ā¤Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā
@meliorn I have admired your work for such a long time, and it was really hard to choose just one gifset to shout out, but your GTKM Meme: Family Dynamics: The Rose Family gifset is just perfect! ššĀ This set is a wonderful summary of the show and the Rosesā growth of not just a family, but as characters too, and I absolutely love the quotes that you chose! š„ŗ I cannot imagine how long this took you to make, but it is always impresses me every time I see it!Ā The colors are outstanding as well! (I also really love your Crowley + colours series, btw!)
@lady-arryn I remember being so stunned when I first saw yourĀ Austen but with wlwĀ gifset!Ā Iām still obsessed with this set almost a year later š The soft colors, the layering, the fonts!!!Ā Itās beautiful and romantic! š„°Ā We cannot have enough wlw content in the Austen fandom, so thank you for contributing more to our favorite ships that donāt always receive content or recognition!!Ā Ā Ā
4 creations of which youāre proud.
Anathema + red & purple--probably my favorite gifset that I created this year, tbh!Ā I wanted to create something fall/Halloween inspired, and I think I did a pretty good job of creating that aesthetic with the colors?Ā Compared to another Anathema gifset from earlier in the year, I think I definitely developed a better handle for manipulating colors.Ā I just love the vibrancy of the colors that I was able to achieve in this gifset!
Aziraphale + heart eyes-- Okay, I know that itās a simple looking gifset, but I did something small with it that I think is neatĀ lolĀ I changed the color of the trees behind Aziraphale from green to red to match the red that is featured in the background in Crowleyās gif.Ā Every time I look at this gifset I am so proud of myself???Ā Such a small change made a huge difference in my opinion.Ā I feel like it gives the gifset a more consistent look.Ā Also, you know, it symbolizes that theyāre in love. šĀ Ā
the ineffable husbands + š series, part 2 because this scene??? I canĀ never color for some reason???Ā Arguably the most famous scene from s1 and I can never color it properly lolĀ Also whenever I gif this scene, I can never color it the same way as I did the previous time.Ā So here, I went a different route--purple.Ā And it looks okay!!Ā I think now that Iāve grown a lot more in terms of coloring, I see other things I could have differently, but Iām still really proud of how this gifset turned out, especially for a scene that has always been challenging for me to color!Ā Ā
Emma + pink--Similar to the Anathema gifset mentioned above, Iām just very proud of how Iāve stretched my abilities in terms of coloring this year!Ā This is a drastic improvement from this Emma gifset I made earlier in the year (which Iāll talk about in a second), and Iām so proud of how rich the colors look!Ā Ā Ā
3 creations others loved.
Aziraphale + heart eyes--although itās a simple gifset, Iām glad people really enjoy this one!Ā As I mentioned above, Iām proud of the slight coloring trick I added here, and who doesnāt love this moment between A/C anyway? š„°
Future husband meme, Crowley version--my meme sets are always super popular, so Iām not surprised that this one gained so many notes in comparison to other sets that I have spent much more time on lolĀ Itās okay though, I love making meme gifsets, I enjoy making people laugh!Ā Ā
Future husband meme, Aziraphale version--same comment as above (although imo, this set is funnier than the Crowley version lol)
2 creations that stretched you as a creator:
knighthouse + colors--this was not the first time I had played around with colors in a gifset, but this was probably my first ambitious gifset with manipulating colors to this extent.Ā I think I have definitely learned a lot from creating this set, and itās really interesting to compare this post to my most recent Emma gifsetĀ that I mentioned earlier.Ā Despite having to take a huge break once I started grad school this fall (and just starting to make gifs again this month), I am pretty pleased with how much Iāve grown this year in terms of coloring/manipulating color!
the ineffable husbands + š series, part one in particular because I have always had difficulty gifing various scenes and making the coloring look consistent lolĀ Iām so used to gifing one particular moment/scenes/series of facial expressions and that is it.Ā Dealing with multiple scenes that may have different lighting and color schemes is something Iām still learning.Ā Iām still not 100% pleased with the coloring in this set, tbh, but, Iāll keep working at it!Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā
1 creation of yours that you find most aesthetically pleasing
I already talked about it, but the Anathema + red and purple gifset!
1 creation that broke and (maybe remade you) as a creator
Hmm, not sure how to answer this one!Ā Not sure if any creation reallyĀ ābrokeā me this time (a few did in 2020, I think, though).Ā As you can tell, experimenting with manipulating color was the theme for my creations this year.Ā I think the my two posts that got me the most excited to continue exploring that within the GO fandom were my Anathema + pink and purple gifset and my Crowley + pink gifset?Ā I still get really sweet comments/tags on these posts, and itās been almost a year since I posted the Crowley gifset!
0 the creation that never was because nothing was working that day.
I had a few other ineffable husbands memes planned out, as well as an angsty parallel post planned, but never had time due to grad school.Ā I wonāt give much away in case I find the time later, so weāll see!Ā Ā
Overall comment on your creativity year 2021 ->
Looking back on 2021, I made quite a few gifsets, but probably not as much as I had in previous years due to school, which makes me sad.Ā I do feel a bit disconnected from the fandom at times, but this first semester made me realize that I need to create a better work/life balance for myself, so maybe Iāll do a better job at creating time for hobbies starting this upcoming semester.
Tagging (but only if you want to, of course!): @ghiblisdaily @maria7potter @bidoctor @meliorn @lady-arryn and anyone else who would like to participate!

You flew halfway around the world because you wanted to be a better person, and it was very brave. Youāre sharp, and youāre strong. You make fun of me a lot. You once called me a human snooze button. But you also showed up in my classroom when I was drowning in despair and canned chilli, and you basically saved my life. You have very high self-esteem, and a very low tolerance for men who wear sandals, and your worst nightmare is someone saying something nice about you to your face, but too bad because I need to say it because you deserve it.

Thank you!! I really need to talk about that show! Also I didnāt watch season 8, donāt think I will ever watch it but Iāll answer knowing what happens in it.
who i will protect at all costs: Jacqueline Beulah Burkhart
who deserves better: Jacqueline Beulah Burkhart
who was killed off too early: there were like 2 deaths so probably Charlie?
who i used to hate but now i love: Laurie Forman
who i used to love but now i hate: Fez
who needs to be killed off asap: Fez
who is unfairly hated: Donna. Iāve only been in the fandom for like a week but itās the character I saw the most hate about
who is unfairly loved: I have no answer for this
who needs to sort out their priorities: STEVEN HYDE!!!
who needs a hug: Jackie
who needs to get out of their current relationship: JACKIE! (and Hyde too, is he still married at the end of season 8?)
who the writers love: definitely NOT Hyde and Jackie
who needs a better storyline: of course Iām gonna say Hyde and Jackie but also I think they could have done so much more for Eric
who has an amazing redemption arc: Hyde and Jackie, they had amazing growth and then the season 8 writers threw all that away :(
who is hot af: Jackie, and I say that with respect because I know that Mila was still underage at the beginning of the show. And on a side note, we can totally see when she turned 18 because they decided they could show her body now and that is gross
who belongs in jail: Definitely Fez, like he acts like he respects women but heās also the guy who hides in his friends closet to see them have sex, heās the one who ask Kelso the play the āblack-out gameā so he can sleep with Angie while she thinks sheās with Kelso which is like rape, there was also that episode when he admitted that he harassed a woman in the park. And those are the only 3 examples I can think of right now.
who needs to be revived from the dead: the whole show! I want a revival where everything ends like it should!
