Jeff's Two Cents

Hi, I'm Jeff. I'm just a musician from Chicago who's trying to make some sense of the world.

be sisko. wake up. cook a delicious breakfast for your family and pack lunch for your partner. get caught up on unanswered communications on your PADD. have a morally questionable figure become psychosexually obsessed with you, chasing the thrill of corrupting you while also desperately craving to earn the benediction of your approval as a Good Man. add them to the spreadsheet. look into starting a community baseball club. call your dad. schedule senior staff meeting to address the issue of the local bartender being split into good and evil halves due to touching an ancient relic he was trying to sell on space ebay. break up argument between two ambassadors from warring factions on the precipice of nuclear war. give them both a jumja stick. blackmail the evil half of the bartender into letting them have it on the house. add beets to your grocery list. write letter of recommendation for junior staff member. message your favorite worm to get the station gossip while you cook family dinner. go to bed. try your best to interpret prophetic dreams from sacred aliens beyond your understanding. wake up.

whoever decided that a big part of siskos characterization is that if theres a little baby anywhere on the station he will sense it and will break barriers and compromise his morals and fight his way through insurmountable odds just to pick the lil guy up and go :D was SO smart ily mwah

I actually wouldn’t mind people coming back to tumblr, I think an increase in activity could be fun. I think it would be fucking hilarious if people tried to introduce 2021s influencer culture on here. you would literally get eaten alive

I’m convinced if ppl on this site knew how crappy gifs look before you color them properly, they would appreciate editors more

for context reasons, this is how a gif I used in a recent gifset looks like without any adjustments/coloring whatsoever:

and here it is afterwards:

I truly don’t think people realize how dingy and dark most movies and tv shows actually are so they can’t appreciate the work and skill it takes to make gifs look the way your brain “remembers” it looking.

Another before and after example:

This gif needed 6 different adjustment layers, not including the sharpening process, which is its own separate challenge. The blue window was also changed to green to keep the palette more consistent and to reduce the range of colors needed, because a wider range of colors generally results in worse gif quality since gifs only support a max of 256 (compared to the millions your monitor can display).

yeah…

Are any of my followers still active, even?

What do you guys think?

Should I make a comeback on here?
