Me – eventually cut down the number of ‘favourite episode’ gifsets to three.

(somehow none of the three is Revelations which is probably my actual favourite episode ???)

Me – takes hours to do just one

Me – is three actually sensible? or should I just go with this one?

Me – but, but, but, but, what about the others? I like too many episodes :/

/headdesk

At least I have already realised that doing the 8 I had initially decided on was totally a no go.

I’m somewhat confused as to why I didn’t go with Revelations. I think I couldn’t decide how to handle it (as it’s a 2 parter) and I sort of covered some of it in my ‘favourite story arc’ set. I really don’t recall. Clearly I had a reason at the time, right?

I think what I’ll do is I’ll finish this episode set. Then I still have the location, quote and free choice sets to do to round out the week. After I have done those if I still have time I’ll circle back and do more episode sets.

When I cut down the number I already decided that I should do a “personal top 10″ in the future. There’s only one slight problem with that – I already have 11 on my ‘cut down’ list. Maybe I’ll have to do top 15 instead, might just be able to keep it to that, possibly.

This show man haha.

You know how I initially came up with the idea of a Sanctuary Appreciation Week because I had a long list of gifs I wanted to make, and I thought having some focus so I got them done would help?

Well that really didn’t work out as planned.

On March 3rd when I had the idea I had 28 gifsets on the list. Two days later (after posting about the appreciation week) I had 45 on the list…

I have posted 3 since then. I have 6 in my drafts ready for the appreciation week (and another 8 to make) which *counts* equals 17.

So does that mean I’m back to 28? No! That’ll still leave me with 44 /facepalm. I believe that gives me a total (counting ones I’ve already made) of 64 which is 5 more than there are episodes AND I very much doubt that I’m done adding to the list. I just keep thinking of more.

I think I have a problem haha. Maybe I need to accept that there is no bottom to this list, that I’ll probably never be done. Such is the nature of obsession.

Ok I’m at the point in my obsession where everything is Sanctuary, or more specifically in this case my OT3.

Watched WandaVision today. I haven’t screamed about it on here yet. To be honest I think I’m still processing.

Anyway, there were a couple of lines and legit not lying, while I was watching I instantly went “that would work great for a Sanctuary gifset” /facepalm.

I added it to the list.

I was on 28 if you remember and I was pondering how/when to focus on making them. My first thought was a month but that seemed like a lot so I figured a week would be a good start, which then reminded me that appreciation weeks are a thing. I jumped in with both feet thinking that was an awesome idea aaaaand you guessed it.

The number has now jumped to 45.

At this rate I’m going to have more ideas for gifsets than there were episodes haha. Still it’s all good. I enjoy making gifs, bringing the idea in my head to life, it’s just finding the time to do it.

You know I only started making gifs because of Sanctuary anyway. I reached a point where I couldn’t find anything more to reblog and it made me sad. I wanted more and so had a “welp guess I better do it myself” moment haha.

Apparently I have 28 ideas for Sanctuary gifsets

(I counted)

Now I’m pondering what to do with that information. Doing them sporadically when I feel like it has been fun, but it’s not exactly fast or efficient. I’m wondering about maybe designating a month as an “appreciation month” and attempting to do a gifset daily.

On one hand that seems like a lot of pressure and a recipe for burnout. On the other hand I like creating gifsets and having a creating blitz does seem like it might be fun. Can something be potentially fun and stressful? Hmm.

It would be a huge commitment and therein lies the scheduling problem. I’ve picked up drawing heads this month (1 head a day for 100 days). I’m trying to write like mad this month, so as to be in a good place for Camp NaNo next month. I’m still doing Sketch a Day, and I want to do a big digital drawing every month. Plus you know I do have other commitments.

Maybe something smaller. I think I might moot the idea of an appreciation week on the Sanctuary discord. I’ll quite happily just do it solo but I need more Sanctuary in my life, so encouraging others also sounds like a good idea.
