for reference, the way you get photoshop to give you a .act file that is organised how you want:
- get all your colours in order etc
- add them to your swatches in order
- go to edit->preset manager->swatches
- select your colours then save somewhere you can find
- this creates a .aco file (photoshop’s swatch format)
- now to make it into a .act file
- have a psd open, doesn’t have to have anything on it, it’s not super important
- image->mode->indexed colour
- this changes it from using theoretically any colour to using a specific palette
- under palette dropdown, select custom->load
- change file type it’s looking for to .aco, select your .aco file
- save as .act
hey does anyone know how to convert a .aco file to a .act or .pal file? i have a neatly arranged palette in photoshop that i would like to put in graphicsgale
I’m not even much of a fan of genderbends but goddamn am I even less of a fan of getting ordered around about what I should enjoy and how I should enjoy it and being lectured about how ‘problematic’ it is, when the real problem is that they’ve cast the thing in question in black and white and refuse to admit that there’s anything but their narrow framing.
Changing a character to the ‘opposite’ cis gender is a very different thing than making them trans or nonbinary. Insisting that people only change characters to trans is also really damn invalidating, because it implies that being trans is interchangable with being cis. Whoopsie doodle!
I think the real issue here is that a lot of people want to see more trans headcanons, but for some reason think that using sj words while being bossy and rude is the way to go about it. Dress it up in progressive language all you like; at the end of the day you’re still being bossy and rude to get what you want, regardless of anyone else’s valid feelings.
i get really irritated at kids who scream that genderbends are transphobic because they’re completely missing the context and history. they have no idea. it’s like to them, Cis People made up genderbends specifically to thumb their noses at trans people.
rule 63 was originally a guy thing, sexual objectification thing. it states ‘for every male character, there’s a female version of that character’, and not because the dudes who were into it cared about having more realistically rendered female heroes in their media. it was made popular on 4chan and porn boards and comics+gaming forums because you could reduce a manly male character into a sexy tits-and-ass pinup. there were related kinks of sissification, but mostly it was about getting to jerk it to a sexy female version of a previously unappealing, macho male character.
then women got hold of the rule and started going, okay. let’s look at the female version of this male character. let’s talk about being a woman in a man’s world. let’s talk about rorschach’s misogyny, tony stark’s womanizing, batman’s grimness, the fact there’s one girl ninja to every four or five guy ninjas, let’s talk about that in the hypothetical context of these male heroes being women instead. if there’s a girl version for every male character, what does that mean? what’s her story?
and it became this really amazing lens for female fans to interrogate stories through, to examine the effects of sexism and misogyny and masculinity, to introduce another woman into a story with very few, to identify with fully-rendered heroes of the fan’s own gender. and to interrogate the very nature of gender, which led into the development of genderbends where the character’s gender identity didn’t necessarily match their assigned sex, and from there an increasing interest in, and familiarity with, trans characters, trans people, and trans issues.
so like. people now reducing the issue to ‘cis people are gross and hate trans people’ is pretty ridiculous. it ignores basically twenty years of women questioning, confronting and then dismantling the de-facto heteronormative, exploitative male gaze in order to create the radically progressive fandom atmosphere as we know it today on tumblr.
#this is how i kinda feel about fem fortress#even in that wacky world its still 1970s#i love imagining a fem scout who wasn’t even allowed on the baseball field but played anyway and now kills people for a living#or fem medic who fought tooth and nail for that medical license and even though its invalid she still has it framed up somewhere#femheavy who felt uncomfortable in her skin and didn’t want to fight anyone but learned to love killing#femgie who probably deserves 11 phds and more but only has maybe…one#femsolly who faked being a man AND a soldier#i love femfortress
valoscope then there’s the whole- MANN CO. with it’s macho macho man CEO and that whole atmosphere they’d have to contend with. These are the kind of people who would probably doubt women should or even could handle a gun to fight at the front lines.
au in which it isn’t the weasley family walking up to the platform at the same time as harry but the malfoys
I’M SCREAMING, HOLY FUCKING SHIT CAN YOU IMAGINE NARCISSA HELPING BBY HARRY ONTO THE PLATFORM AND DRACO APOLOGIZES FOR WHATEVER HE SAID AT THE ROBE SHOP THAT MADE HARRY UPSET BECAUSE HE JUST WANTS TO BE FRIENDS AND LUCIUS IS ALREADY MUTTERING ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF DRACO BECOMING FRIENDS WITH HARRY AND NARCISSA SLAPS HIS SHOULDER AND TELLS HIM TO SHUT UP BECAUSE “LOOK HOW CUTE THEY ARE LUCIUS, DON’T CORRUPT THIS” AND THEY GET A SEAT ON THE TRAIN TOGETHER.

so it turns out you can totally use a camera cord instead of a tablet one
i think the wire in my tablet cord broke 🙁
i’m really into the idea of immortal fake ah where they all died at different times, but not in any conventional order.
ray loves the look on everyone’s face when he tells them he beats them all in age, because he was up and kicking when mesopotamia was still thriving, about five thousand years before jesus was even a twinkle in mary’s eye. he especially loves how michael yells out “you look like a fetus!”, how gavin’s mad he won’t share how he died (he legitimately can’t remember) and how geoff says he doesn’t care when he was born, geoff is still older than him.
jack was born halfway through the renaissance and spent too many years as a stonemason. he died when his idiot apprentice knocked a stone onto him. and if anyone makes one more joke about building a house, he swears he’ll find a way to kill them for good.
gavin’s family was one of many that went to the new world in the late 1600′s. he found out that he couldn’t die smack dab in the middle of the salem witch trials, which was a tad bit inconvenient. he did a lot of accidentally dying and leaving for a new colony in the middle of the night.
michael was one of the thousands of people who worked their ass off in some shitty factory during the industrial revolution. he was also part of a smaller number that got killed in the machinery.
ryan was 20 years old at the turn of the 18th century to the 19th. he was a doctor, and he managed to catch a hyper deadly combination of the flu and pneumonia. he fell asleep, his heart stopped, and then he woke up a few hours later, feeling completely fine.
geoff got in a really bad motorcycle accident a couple of years ago. he walked away. the people in the car that hit him didn’t.
