#I'm sure I've made some mistakes here but I'm honestly in such a blind panic rn

[fatherentropy]

It's been 9 years since I've opened commissions but my computer is 7 years old and losing her will to live and will not survive Dawntrail so!!

$100 USD painted portraits with up to 1 additional character for an added charge of $80 (totaling $180)

Full disclosure: I'm aiming for at least $2k and I don't know if I'm going to take a handful of these and close and come back with a better methodology and pricing or just keep doing these. I am developing as I go. Suffice it to say, between that and the unknown that is how long I can spend working on each comm, if I choose to do yours it might take me awhile to get to it. The plan is to send a message to chosen applicants to confirm you're still interested/have the money before sending the invoice, just in case. So please keep that in mind.

My terms are listed on the google form but to reiterate and elaborate on some points:

NOT First Come, First Serve so take your time when you're filling out the form because I'm going off both interest and which are best communicated and thus easiest for me to do.

I will be requiring visual references this time to work. They don't need to be terribly detailed but enough that I can finagle face depth for different facial features. This can be as simple as a picrew and a faceclaim, I don't mind.

My duo example is actually not a portrait but a full painting so keep in mind that heads in actual commissioned pieces will be kept more in line with each other regardless of height.

I WILL draw furries, body horror, and mechs but I am rusty so it will likely take more time I WILL NOT draw object heads, incest or pedophilia

I'll be streaming some of these on Twitch to keep myself focused. Let's not talk about the Vtuber in the room.

Thank you to @vivilakitty for letting me write out this prompt! I hope you all enjoy!

"Come on girl! This is a once in a lifetime chance!"

"But I-"

"Don't be such a chicken! It's just Adrien after all."

"I just-"

"Stop making so many excuses!" Alya rolled her eyes.

"You know how rare it is that Adrien's dad let's him hang out with us." Alix shoved her towards the boat.

"But-" Marinette protested. She started to breathe irregularly, but no one seemed to notice.

"No more buts Marinette." Mylene said firmly, pulling Marinette by the arm.

"I can't-"

"Yes you can. Now get on there." With a final shove, the girls managed to push a shaking Marinette onto the boat.

"Hey guys, look who's here!" Alya announced, a huge grin on her face, completely oblivious to the fact that the girl next to her was trembling in fear.

"Hey Marinette!" Adrien waved cheerfully to her. Marinette forced a smile on her face, hoping that it'd come off as tired and not rude.

"Hey Marinette. You don't look well, do you need any help?" Lila smiled viciously at Marinette.

"N-No I-I'm fine." Marinette turned to Alya.

"I'm not feeling great Alya, I really need to go." She held onto Alya tightly, her palms beginning to sweat.

"Nonsense! Just get over your nervousness and go talk to Adrien." Alya waved her off, and left Marinette to go talk to Lila.

What must have been mere minutes felt like years as Marinette wobbled her way to the rooms below.

"One more step..." Marinette breathed hard, muttering to herself as she inched closer.

"Hey Marinette, you need any help?" Marinette jumped upon hearing the voice behind her. Shakily, she turned and saw Luka standing there, a concerned look on his face.

"I-I..." Marinette forced a weak smile on her face. "Y-yea I'm fine." Marinette's knees suddenly buckled.

"Hey hey look at me. Take a deep breath in." Luka carried Marinette and ushered her into a chair. He grabbed his guitar and started to play a calming tune.

Marinette shakily breathed in. "That's good. Now breathe out." Marinette breathed out.

"You're doing great Mari. Breathe in, breathe out." Luka smiled at her.

Minutes later, Marinette stopped shaking and was relatively calm.

"Good job Marinette. You keep doing that, I'll get you a glass of water ok?" Marinette nodded her head. Luka carefully got up and left the room.

Marinette continued to do the breathing exercises that Luka instructed her to do, and focused on Tiki patting her purse.

Minutes passed and Luka still hadn't returned. Marinette was getting worried. "Tiki, should I check on him?" Marinette whispered.

"I think you should give him a few more minutes." Tiki stroked Marinette's hair in an attempt to calm her down.

It had been almost 10 minutes, but no one had entered the room.

"That's it. I'm going to look for Luka." Marinette shakily pushed herself up.

Just as Marinette stepped foot on the deck, the girl was dragged towards the make-shift stage.

"Girl where were you?" Alya huffed.

"Lila told us you were getting a drink but we couldn't find you anywhere." Rose pouted.

"Guys I-"

"Whatever at least we found you. Adrien is gonna perform with kitty section soon." Marinette could feel the fear rising in her as she took in her surroundings.

"And you are going to talk to him right now." Alya said firmly, dragging Marinette.

"Hey guys!" Adrien waved at the girls and they smiled at him while pushing Marinette towards him.

"Hi Marinette!" Adrien beamed, completely oblivious to Marinette's state.

"H-hi Adrien..." Marinette choked out. Adrien smiled politely as Marinette trembled.

"Oh my gosh Marinette there you are!" Marinette screamed internally as Lila approached her.

"Hey girl what's up?" Alya said excitedly.

"Oh not much, I was just on the phone with jagged stone. He said he's sorry that he can't come watch kitty sections performance cause something came up." Lila let out a small sigh and looked at the girls feigning worry.

"I hope you don't hate me for this." The girls immediately rushed to comfort Lila, assuring her that it wasn't her fault.

"Thanks guys, that makes me feel better." Lila smiled. "Do you mind if I borrow Marinette here? There's something I'm dying to talk to her about."

Alya grinned at Lila. "Of course Lila!" Lila smiled, a glint of malice in her eyes.

"Perfect! I owe you all one." Lila dragged a half protesting Marinette you to the edge of the boat.

It took all of Marinette's willpower to not puke right there and then, so she struggled to form her sentences. "W-what do you want Lila."

Lila smiled. "As much as I enjoy seeing you acting so pathetic, I can't pass up on this chance."

"What are you-" Before Marinette could finish her sentence, she was falling into the water.

The water was everywhere. Marinette could feel the panic rising ten times faster. The water felt heavy and she couldn't move. She felt herself sinking and felt so helpless. It felt like eons before she heard anything from the boat.

"Oh no! Marinette fell!"

"I'm sure she's fine, she's just overreacting."

"Bullshit!"

"Luka?"

"W-what are you talking about?"

"Luka!"

"Hey! How dare you shove Lila!"

There was a loud splash, and a tall figure swam towards a thrashing Marinette.

"Shhh its ok Marinette." Marinette hiccupped and shook as a pair of strong arms grabbed her and helped her up.

"Come on girl, let's get you changed." Anarka helped Marinette up as everyone stared worriedly.

"Juleka, go help mom." Luka said, anger radiating from him. Juleka nodded and rushed off to assist their mother.

"Thank you Luka for saving Marinette. I was honestly so worried when she-"

"Shut up." Luka growled.

"E-excuse me?" Lila stuttered.

"I saw what you did." Luka finally looked up and glared at Lila, sending chills down her spine.

"Luka just leave it." Adrien whispered, nudging Luka.

Luka laughed, startling everyone. "Just leave it? This girl just pushed Marinette into the water. And it the only reason she's alive right now is because I went after her." Luka was pissed off, but it didn't seem to bother them.

"But Marinette can swim." Alya argued. "She would have been fine without us."

"Couldn't you see her? Maybe she can swim, but fear blinds people. She couldn't even stay afloat, yet all of you held me back from even checking on her."

"What do you mean fear? It's not like Marinette is scared of water." Mylene asked.

"Yea! I would know. I've been friends with her since we were five after all! Kim boasted.

"You are all idiots." Upon hearing that, everyone protested angrily.

"Did it not occur to all of you that syren just attacked Paris not too long ago?" Most of them went silent, but a few of them were too stubborn to understand.

"So what? It's not like-" Alya tried to argue but was immediately cut off.

"And did it not occur to you that Marinette could have been one of the many who drowned?" Luka hissed. Everyone froze as they realised their mistakes.

"I can't believe you call yourself Marinette's friends. She has been scared this whole time, yet none of you even bothered to ask her how she was doing." Luka glared at Alya, who refused to back down.

"It's not like we would have noticed-"

"Oh really?" Luka said coolly. "It's not like Marinette has been shaking, struggling to breathe or said that she's scared the whole time right?" He said sarcastically.

"It's because she has a crush on Adrien!" Alya smiled triumphantly, thinking she won the argument.

"You really are blind. She's been like this because she's scared of the water. She doesn't even like Adrien anymore. But you wouldn't know, would you?" Luka said.

"And you." Luka turned to Lila. "You are never to step foot on my family's boat ever again. If I see you pull a stunt like this ever again," Luka's voice dropped dangerously low. "I'll make sure you'll wish you had never been born." Lila nodded in fear and scuttled off the boat.

Luka turned away from the gaping teenagers and went to check on Marinette. He found her huddled on his bed, wearing a set of his dry clothes.

"Hey Marinette. You doing better?" Marinette nodded and hugged her knees.

"Do you want anything warm to drink?" Marinette nodded her head.

"Tea? Coffee? Hot chocolate?" Luka asked.

"Can I have got chocolate?" Marinette whispered. Luka smiled at her.

"Of course. I'll go get some for you." Luka walked into the kitchen, where he found his mother and sister sitting down, drinking coffee and tea.

"How is she?" Anarka asked quietly.

"Not great. I'm making hot chocolate for her right now. Could you guys get everyone off the boat? I don't think she'd like to talk to them right now." Luka pulled out a packet of instant hot chocolate and began to make a cup for Marinette.

"Sure thing boy." Anarka got up from her chair and made her way up.

"You really like her don't you?" Juleka stared into her cup.

Luka chuckled. "I'm not sure if like is the word I'd use. Maybe love?"

"I've never seen you so angry before." Juleka looked up from her cup and stared intensely at Luka. He merely shrugged and tapped his fingers on the counter impatiently.

"Love makes people go crazy."

"I think the phrase is 'Love makes people do crazy things'."

"Sure sis."

Once the hot chocolate was done, Luka gingerly carried the cup into his room.

"Hey Marinette. You feeling better?" Luka carefully passed the warm mug to Marinette who gratefully accepted.

"Yea I'm starting to warm up slowly. But what about you?" Marinette furrowed her eyebrows and averted her eyes from Luka.

Luka raised an eyebrow and looked down, only to realise his white shirt was soaked and very see through.

"I'm fine. I didn't even realise how cold I've been feeling." Luka smiled as Marinette frowned.

"Luka!" He laughed as she started to scold him.

"Alright alright. I'll go change. Be back in a second." He grabbed a set of new clothes and head to the bathroom to change. In less than a minute, he was back in a fresh set of clothes.

"Hey Luka?" Marinette stared at her cup, slightly blushing.

"Yea?"

"Thank you." Luka smiled.

"Anytime Marinette."
