Ilya would dirty text Shane even while they are with Shane's parents 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ the rituals are indeed intricate and they enjoy thrill of possibly getting caught (I mean...the scene at all stars in Ilya's hotel room in TLG 🥵)

hi nonny!! thank you for the kind words, of course!!

set nonny mentioned the font used: abril fatface

for this set i just tried different things till it looked semi-good to me :D

first you make your gif, coloring etc. obviously. if you have questions about that process you can send another ask for this, i will focus on just the text effects. for this set, the quotation mark and the written text are actually two different layers.

after you finish making your gif, create a new layer above all of your other layers. then select the horizantal type tool and drag and create a textbox on your new empty layer. if you do it correctly it's gonna look like this. click on delete and all the text in it will diseappear. then paste or type your own text.

my character settings for the text. i used the color picker to select a color similiar to the edges of my gif.

after positioning your text however you want, right click on the text layer and click on blending options. change the blend mode to difference at this step to make the text change color as Ilya moves behind. i also added a 2 px white stroke on the outside to make it more readable but this is optional.

for the quotation mark, create another layer on top of your text layer. these are my character settings for this layer:

after that, right click and go to the blending options on your new layer. i did the same 2px white stroke on the outside of my text. the background doesn't move on much where this layer is positoned, so making the blending mode difference didn't create any effect other than making it look dark blue-ish like this.

to get rid of that dark blue, on the blending options change the fill opacity to 0%.

now we got just the outline of a quotation mark. which did not look good enough to me. so make it a bit more text effect-y, click on bevel & emboss on the layer style menu and voila!!

after that you can drag your layers to anywhere you like on your canvas. i used guides to drag it kind of in the middle.

now this is a worthy rebuttal!

nonny i'm gonna hold your hand when i say this, but heat and rut are not as different as alpharchy would want you to believe. it's just your blood boiling till you get what you need.

Omg yessss, please do it 🥹🥺

I promised my firstborn to another fic writer, but I can promise my secondborn to you 🧎

you've come to the right place because i have been thinking about this a lot as DC universe obsessed freak 😁

Hollanov is the Superbat of HR universe. Ilya, ticks all the boxes for Batman.

Depression ✔

Daddy/Mommy issues ✔

Has a mask to intimidate people so no one sees how vulnerable he is ✔

Obsessed with that one guy from his rival team city that everyone is trying to make his enemy ✔

Yearning ✔

Shane is obviously Superman.

Polite to a degree people will consider boring ✔

Hopeful, always trying to see the good in people ✔

Can't handle confrontation lol "you know that one specifically irrates me" and "what the fuck is that supposed to mean" are the same pictures 😁

autism and sensory issues, this one is pretty self explanatory, he'd love having a fortress of solitude!!

have a good relationship with his parents, never wants to disappoint them ✔

can't lie to save his life ✔

oh wait, these are more which superhero archtype they would be than what superpowers they have, but i think like superbat powers would suit them. Ilya is used to selfsacrificing to fix others' life, namely his family. Shane is basically the Superman of hockey, he's that good.

i have some more less- fleshed out thoughts about how:

Scott and Kip would be Green Arrow and the Black Canary together.

Troy would be Guy Gardner Green Lantern, because no one likes him but he's actually a very lovable asshole okay 🥺 that's my favorite guy 🥺

Eric Jay Garrick the flash because he's retired now i guess.

Ryan would be Aquaman, and it fits him so well. everyone would talk behind his back like "that guy is so weird, do you know he fucks fish?" and he's from Nova Scotia, the maritimes 😁

that's a funny way to spell ragebaiting nonny 🤣

from Heated Rivalry chapter twenty-five: Ilya had no idea why he got so much enjoyment from causing Shane distress, but he did. He loved to see him all agitated and struggling to keep control. "If you love me..." ilya added onboxiously.

hi nonny!! thank you so much for the kind words i really appreciate it 🥰

as i put on my post, i used a ready-made template which i found here. the post explains how to use clipping masks. template also comes with 12 separate black squares, i selected all the squares i wanted to put the individual gifs beforehand and merged the layers they were on together.

then i put my gif over the layer of merged black squares and right clicked & clicked create clipping mask.

i don't know if that made sense, but here is a great tutorial from usergif on layer masks & clipping masks.
