1- Make your graphic and find a gif

This is pretty self explanatory, you need to create the graphic while keeping in mind that you're going to have a gif in it, you can visualize it by putting your gif as if it was an image and then deleting some parts to make space for it. Keep in mind that when you're doing this the graphic will be on top of the gif, so you can still put things over it, once you're done save it as it is. For the gifs I usually just go to Pinterest, but you can get them from pretty much any image site!

# Tip: the way I make space for my gif is by adding it to my graphics, pressing the three dots and then "select opacity" and finally "clean layer" on the parts that I don't want (my version is in Spanish but you get the idea), I don't do this on the texts or the things on top so it has a little more pizzazz

2- Export the gif to Capcut

Press on "create a new project" in Capcut and use the graphic you made as a base (you shouldn't change it as it will mess up the placement), once you're there the gif over it and position it as best as you can (use the superposition option for this)

# Tip: if your graphic is transparent in some places then try to make it as fit as possible, or else it will show!!

Once you're there add another image on top, this one has to be flat colored and a color that isn't on the gif or is even close to a color inside the gif (in this case since the gif is green I had to use a pastel pink), then export it (the quality doesn't matter, but I'd recommend 480 or 720, exporting it as anything bigger is kind of just a bother XP

3- Go to ezgif and export your video

Once you're on ezgif go to "video to gif" and select your video, then "convert video to gif", once there go to the "more tools" option and click on "remove background", the first thing you'll see is a "replace background color with transparency" section.

That's where you have to put the HEX code of the color you choosed for the background of your gif, then press the check ✅ on the same place where you put the hex code

# Tip: ibispaint x has an option to show you the HEX code of your colors! Color drop the color you used and go to the color wheel, you can copy paste the code

3.5- Resize the gif

Go to the Resize option and use the same size as your graphic! You can do this by looking at your graphic on ibispaint x and pressing the ⓘ button, make sure they're the same height and width as the graphic!

4- Put the graphic as an overlay

Now that you have the gif part done, go to the "more tools" option again and click on "add overlay / watermark" and select your graphic, adjust if needed and click the "generate image" button, then you're done! Download the gif and enjoy your graphic <3

Ze as a character drives me fucking INSANE. He’s a young adult who seemingly spends most of his time playing Minecraft. He has an absent family from the little we know about him outside the game, and his dad was very clearly verbally abusive in some way with how he catches himself almost sounding like him when talking to Moe in the Eyes’ domain and is distressed by it.

He was sent to boot camp probably in his teens to “toughen him up” and it scarred him mentally and probably physically too. He’s insecure about being “man enough” and compensates with his aggressive attitude and obsession with weapons and guns.

He masks how much he cares about the people around him but would do ANYTHING for them, even if it meant throwing himself into danger or reliving his own trauma. He doesn’t give a shit about his own life or safety, verbally saying to Regect that he has nothing to lose. He clearly does with how much he’s risking for the very slim chance of Micha being alive, but he cares so little about himself that he sees his own life as disposable when it could be used to even possibly help someone else.

Ze’s passive suicidal ideation is something that we’ve seen so much of throughout the series and it is PAINFUL to see as someone who struggles with it too. From one of the earlier episodes when he’s lamenting that this world is hell and he wants it to end, to the Rift Remover guy telling him to take his own life if the rift remover doesn’t work and Ze not reacting strongly at all to it other than a “that’s morbid.” It’s a thought that crosses his mind often and is one that he isn’t really disturbed by.

It all culminated in the newest episode with Ze’s confrontation with Regect. He knows the risks and the dangers, he barely made it out of the Hole the first time. Regect tells him directly that it’s a suicide mission, that the place he’s going to is just death. But Ze doesn’t care. His own life is a worthy sacrifice in his eyes, and whether he realizes or not that doing this is going to hurt Regect and Moe, he still does it because he puts others over himself so much and has so little self worth.

Honestly the themes of suicide are really heavy throughout the series not just with Ze, but with the Eyes/Daemon in general. Remember in the Valentines episode when it influenced Micha to jump (only in Minecraft, thankfully)? Or when it almost convinced Moe to do it too a few episodes later? Theres something going on there and I have a feeling that it’s influenced Ze as well to make his existing ideation worse. Thats veering more into theory territory though so I’m leaving it there for now.
