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:
