💕Oc Valentines Day Challenge 2024 💕 Day Six: Almost Love
Sometimes loving someone isn't enough. Whether it's because that love is unrequired, the protagonist is torn apart from their love interest in some way, the ship decides they're better off as friends, or they can't get past their differences, we're showing off those couples that could've been but never were.
"Our almost will always haunt me."
Daniel and Simon were best friends and did everything and anything together. There were rumors going around the two were more than best friends, but that wasn’t the case until the two of them and their friends were trying to survive the curse of Sarah Fier. While trying to freshen up before the ‘final’ battle the two decided to act on their romantic feelings with one another. But the confession was short-lived…Simon ended up being killed by one of the Shadyside killers Sarah Fier brought back. So their future relationship would never blossom and Daniel will always be haunted by his almost lover.
a quick sequel to this one: basically a 4:19/4:20 meme, come to think of it...
oh, and i remembered to switch on the recording of the process; i sketched this straight over the prev one, so it looks a tad weird, but still... adding it for those who asked
all that said: if you want to chew it, you have my enthusiastic permission 💜
It occurred to me how incredibly chaotic and delightful Cheese Melt would be when put in the same room as Danny and Jack, so yeah. More silly comic doodles.
Jack, Vlad, Danny, and Danielle go camping! Vlad only agreed to this because he's frustrated and jealous of how much Dani seems to like Jack despite his best attempts to brainwash her into hating him, and he's sure that two nights in the woods will prove to her that Jack is an idiot and not nearly as good of a parent as Vlad is. Vlad knows he can't simply forbid Dani from ever talking to Jack again, because she's already such a free spirit who barely listens to him. So it's obviously the best plan to ensure that Dani comes to the correct conclusion all on her own. Unfortunately for Vlad, he yet again has utterly played himself (or rather, has let Dani play him like the master of psychological manipulation she is).
Meanwhile, Danny is just here to hang out with his dad and Dani, and point and laugh at Vlad's rising blood pressure while ALSO ensuring Vlad doesn't end up legitimately killing his dad. And Jack is of course utterly oblivious to the intensely complicated dynamic of his three half ghost companions. He's just happy to go hiking (they immediately get lost) go canoeing (they immediately capsize) and share a tent with his best friend (who immediately politely declines)
Dani and Danny then encounter a small army of blob ghosts in the woods and Dani convinces Danny to pretend to get captured with her, in the hopes that it will force Vlad to work with Jack to rescue them (and maybe fix some of the tension). Comedy and vaguely heartwarming moments ensues.
one of my favorite genres of actors is the ones who put in their years of service to the hollywood machine & reached the point where they’re like “my potential was wasted as a conventional lead I’m about to be campy n perhaps a lil off putting”
