I've played around a bit more and combined the opacity and width/height animations (that firs fiddle is always so embarrassing omg)

But now it's floating for a moment...pausing (why?)... and then playing the opacity/width/height animation once. Still can't get it continuous. :(

I think it’s jQfloat, not your animation that is pausing. You used a minimized version, so I can’t tell if it has an option not to pause.

Thanks for the suggestion, Jake! Taking away jqfloat did help a lot. I'm using another method and very close to what I want, yay!

My only issue now is that the resize and opacity animations aren't happening at the same time. It'll do resize, then opacity, then resize, then opacity, and so on. But I'm trying to get them to animate simultaneously, on top of one another, with different speeds.

queue:false Isn't working. I'm actually not that familiar with 'queue:false' and not entirely confident if I'm using it right. Sometimes it breaks the loop, depending on where I put it, and other times, like now, it just doesn't work. Maybe it's for something else and I'm just derp?

I can't get the image to fade while also resizing, but I have floating sparkles that twinkle, so I'm going to try to call it quits. I'm sure it'll bug me awake tonight, but oh welp!

There's probably a better, more compressed way of doing this, but I couldn't find it :(
