Runaway

This is my first prompt.

~I'm a writer but this is my first time writing in english. Hope you enjoy! I'm not posting more than this anyway~

The colors blurred in and out as the kid ran.

Whumpee couldn’t trust their eyes, they knew. That forest wasn’t normal. They couldn’t look for anything to guide them, either.

So they ran. Without looking back.

While that, Whumper, their master - no, their former master. They were out. Or at least close that - let out the guard dogs.

He wouldn’t let his petite little jewel run.

How silly of them, his little Whumpee, trying to run away in his own territory. Every single tree and rock was on his side. Whumpee couldn’t take a step without their master knowing. With a move of his finger, the forest could become a ruthless labyrinth with claws and thorns.

Whumpee knew that.

Yet, the kid ran.

ECHOES OF WISDOM SPOILERS (But just for the first convo with Lueburry about Link!)

Pt. 1/3

This conversation (and Link's role in this game's narrative in general) got stuck in my brain so I decided to make a comic about it! And then I decided to make it really colorful and complicated!! Because I like to suffer!!!

Keep an eye out for the next two parts hehehe

A callout post (it’s me I’m calling myself out)

[secondbeatsongs]

as a bi person, the bisexual flag brings me infinite joy and always puts a smile on my face, however as a person who has a Passion for Graphic Design, that undersaturated shade of purple infuriates me when it's used digitally

like, on an actual flag - which was its original purpose - it looks great!

those look fine! lovely, even! with the semi-transparent fabric, the way it catches the sunlight, it looks beautiful!

but now look at how it looks digitally

the pink and blue are so vibrant compared to the sad, lonely lavender!

and let's look at this statement from Michael Page, the creator of the bi flag:

(sidenote: he created this flag in 1998, so if his takes on bisexuality is different from yours, it's okay to notice that! a lot has changed since the 90s when it comes to lived experiences and the way we describe them. but, it's also important to respect his thoughts about this and the way he presented them, even if today, we'd probably not say that bi people "blend unnoticeably into both the gay/lesbian and straight communities.")

so in pantone colors, the pink is 226 C, the blue is 286 C, and the purple of the flag is 258 C.

but...here's the deal

Michael talks here about how the key to understanding the symbolism is to know that the purple blends into both the pink and blue. and on a physical flag, I think you can see that!

but digitally, it absolutely does not blend. it clashes badly, and looks oddly separate from the other two colors.

which got me wondering...what purple do you get if you actually blend 226 C and 286 C?

oh! oh, my god.

look at that! look at how nicely it fits between those colors!

look at it next to the original color scheme! look at how much more vibrant the purple is!

and friends. this is just blending through rgb! you get even more purple variations when you use other color spaces!

let's compare all of them:

(top: original, lab. middle: lrgb, lch. bottom: rgb, hsl)

look at all of the different purple options you can get just by combining these two colors!

if you want almost too-vibrant saturation, you can go hsl, if you want something more relaxed that's closer to the original, you can go lab or lrgb. and if you want to split the difference, lch is bright and violet, while rgb is there with its saturated but darker purple.

anyway, I guess I don't really have a point here? this isn't so much an informational post as it is Me Getting Weird About Colors, but I think it is a useful lesson about how colors look very different on screens compared to how they look on objects in real life.

and sometimes, I think it's okay to compensate for that.

out of all of these, this is my favorite bi flag:

it's the one where the colors were blended in lab color space. for me, the lighter, softer purple is close enough to the original bi flag purple, while also feeling like a smoother blend of the blue and pink

but that's just me! and it might not even look the same to you, since every screen is different, because technology is a nightmare!

anyway, thank you for coming with me on this colorful journey! I will now retreat back to inkscape and make pained sounds about inkstitch gradients until something tangible pulls me back into reality
