#the pink is a lot brighter but my camera hates my art and it hates me

Merry Christmas, you filthy animals.

Hi hello, I love your art so much LIKE MY BROTHER. IT'S SO YUMMY, THE SHADOWS THE EXPRESSIONS, I love how you draw Timur , Felwinter and Osiris together 🙏 little bird with his two funky adoptive parents. I stare at your art like , I'm always ready and hyped to give traditional art another try ✨

If I was to go back, any tips for which watercolours to pick? I so far got only aniline colours.

Aah, thank you so much!! 😳💙

Hmmm, the thing is, I use fountain pen inks almost always for painting. I don't use watercolour much, so I can't really suggest anything in particular… I have a selection of colours from different brands, of course, I know quite a lot about pigments, and I like using watercolour from time to time to add some special effects to my works. For sketching outdoors it's also the easiest to use among all other paints, probably. But painting a whole artwork with it……… I try doing it sometimes, but every single time I end up thinking "God, I wish I used inks instead, I hate this so much, why is it so BLEURGH". I guess watercolour just isn't my medium 😂 

I can share my thinking process when building up a palette though, I use it with all mixable mediums I use, be it inks, watercolour, gouache, etc. I found it to be the most effective (and money-saving, lol) approach for me.

So what I want for my main mixing palette is to have 3 sets of primary trios. All colours also must be as smooth as possible, with no surprises or unwanted colour separation. For watercolour - not granulating ones.

(my camera tends to make all colours brighter and also fails to see the subtle difference between some shades, but you can still get the idea)

The first trio is extremely vivid, consisting of bright cool colours - lemon yellow, cyan, magenta-leaning pink. It gives you access to all the bright, open colours.

Second is the classic they teach in all art schools (probably, from what I've heard, I never went into one alkjdshfk) - sunshine yellow, bright warm red and ultramarine blue. This gives you a huge selection of warmer, natural colours, like all shades of golds, eggplant purples, olive greens, etc. It also allows some nice selection of wood browns.

Third is my personal favorite, the muted trio. You kinda can get similar colours from the previous trio, but I prefer having these separately, because of how often I use them all. It consists of golden ochre-leaning yellow, dark bloody red and dark indanthrone blue. It gives you the most beautiful browns, beiges, blacks and other rich, deep colours.

On top of that I also like to have at least one decent black (in my case it's Quink Black ink, I cannot live without it).  And these 10 would be my essentials. Other colours I add to my mixing palette are basically shortcuts to the shades I find myself mixing the most - like a few browns and violets. There are also a few inks that I need for some very specific purposes - like, I have a very vivid cold magenta ink to mix a certain bright cold shade of the Void, and also a fluorescent orange for adding shiny Exo LED lights. And etc.

(Actually I'm currently in the process of re-organizing my main palette and also considering making a few small sets for painting some characters specifically)

I also have a separate selection of chromatographic inks, which can probably be compared to granulating watercolours… But not quite. A few examples:

Here I don't have any special notes or advices, just get the ink you like and enjoy it. Some of these I use so often that I always keep them in my main palette, and others I only get out for some special occasion. These are also mixable btw - I constantly add other ink in Quink Black to get different shades of it.

However, I must say that not all of the ~special effects~ inks are polite and well-behaved, some will agree to work only on some specific paper after a significant amount of coaxing, and others will straight out say "fuck you" at the most crucial moment, even if they worked perfectly just a moment ago.

Btw, when working with inks, I really recommend to put it into smaller bottles with a dropper, so you don't have to open the big bottle each time. It's both easier to use for you and much safer for inks! 

ANYWAY, I hope this post was of some use for you 🌈

The amount it took me to write this while my mind was blanking is astonishing.  So take this shit story.

Ever since a strange accident involving the Black Dragon, an artifact called the Shatter Dagger and me; I’ve been shoved into the hell that was the world of kombat. I’ve been training with Earthrealm forces, trying to save my world from all sorts of bullshit I couldn’t imagine in my wildest dreams. Not to mention my own personal struggles dealing with the fact that if I wanted too I could create that Omen scene with the glass pane at anytime on anyone. Sure it was cool but it hasn’t been exactly easy to say the least. Hell, It’s been down right torturous at times. But even then I’ve manage to crawl out of bed every day, work my ass off with people 10 times more talented and experienced then me, and go back to sleep just to do the same thing in the morning. I mean that weird dagger chose me to be a warrior for some reason... so either that thing was wrong and the placebo effect is real  or there really is something more to me then a shy, chubby idiot that can barely talk to a cashier. Not like I could go back to normal life now, my life was different. I was sought after for what was in me, what I could do. If I didn’t learn to fight, everyone I knew and loved would be killed at the hands of anyone that wanted to get what was inside of me. And there happened was a lot of those as of late. But I had to admit, even through all the weird shit that i’d been through, I didn’t expect being at the filming of a new movie to be a ‘strategic move’. I mean that’s what Sonya called it, but I think she just wanted someone to look after Johnny while he was away. Not that anyone would go after him but, it never hurt to be cautious now adays. Outworld was getting bolder, looking for openings to take down the people they saw as threats and weirdly enough, Johnny was one of them. Just one at the bottom of the list. A low priority target. So why not send a low priority person just incase shit hit the fan. Hell if something did happen back at home, two people that weren’t much of a threat in the enemies eyes wouldn’t be a total lost. They still had hard hitters to protect what was important. I would’ve been more heartbroken knowing I was basically a crisp 5 bucks on Outworld’s most wanted list, but I was 20 feet away from like 4 major celebrities, and sitting in one of those fancy actor chairs with Johnny’s name stitched in it. I wasn’t too torn. “Excuse me, miss. Who are you?” One of the runner’s asked, a nervous look on his face. “People don’t seem to recognize you, and I just want to make sure you’re suppose to be here.” I paused, panic beginning to rise in me before remembering what Johnny told me to say. “I’m Mr. Cage’s plus one.” I dug in one of my pockets and pulled out a belt buckle with Johnny’s last name on it. “He said this should be proof enough.” “Ah... yeah.” He took a pause, observing the very gaudy engraved buckle, “ I’ll inform security then. They were getting a bit antsy.” The runner stumbled off without another word towards a large, menacing man blocking a door, whispering something to him before being called elsewhere on set. The large security man rolled his neck and nodded towards my direction, picking up his walkie-talkie to talk to presumably, the other security members. I turned back around, sinking into the rather uncomfortable chair. So glad to know that I was just mere inches away from being beaten to death by security and the only thing that made them stop was some belt buckle worth more then my life. “How’s my favorite Glass Slipper handling Hollywood?” A familiar voice rang out from the dark corner of the set. I turned my head and watched as a rather oiled up, shirtless Cage bounded over, a half drunken cup of iced coffee in hand. “Did you show them the belt?” “Yeah they were 2 minutes away from throwing me out so... “ I paused, staring at his chest for a few seconds. “You... look like someone dipped you in a fast food grease trap.” “Yeah, the audience goes crazy for oiled up guys. When the lights hit your body and the camera catches the glare just right? Cinema gold baby. You don’t wanna know how many fancams are just me drenched in baby oil and fake blood.” He gave a flex of his bicep before grinning wide. “Hell you seem like the type to make those things. You a secret fan?” I raised an eyebrow as I got up from the chair, cheeks staining pink. “No, I’ve probably only seen about 3 or 4 of your movies.” “Makes sense why your not freaking out more. You’re in the lap of luxury! Do you know how many people would kill to be where you are? Not the glass stuff... I mean here on a movie set, next to me, next to other actors! You’re gonna be watching the next big blockbuster in the flesh!” “I... I mean I am freaking out. This is alot I’m just not fangirling. I’m more just... alert.” I muttered, beginning to trail off as Johnny grabbed the script from under his chair, muttering to himself softly about ‘not respecting the art’ or something akin. Johnny was interesting to say the least. An actor turned fighter for Earthrealm all because of a misunderstanding. Even when he found out that it was a fight between realms and not just some fighting tournament that was way too into roleplaying, he stayed, finding out in the process that he had been from a long line of warriors with powers. And even though all of that happened he was still... him. Cocky, rude, arrogant. You’d think that something that life changing would... well change you but not Johnny. Ever since, everyone’s just sort of put up with him and his antics, even though I could see how close they were to decking him the face when he spoke. Most of the time, I was one of them but other times I could see something else in him, something more besides the douchebag he presented himself as. How suddenly nice he could get, how protective, serious. But those moments were few and far in between, especially when they were paired with moments like this. “Can you hand me a highlighter? Just over by the food table.”  I nodded, getting up and avoiding people with large bulky equipment that would easily put me into debt if I even thought of scratching it. I came back, handing the highlighter to the man. “Here you go Mr. Cage.” He raised an eyebrow as he grabbed the highlighter, a small laugh leaving his lips. “Mr. Cage? What are you my agent? You can call me Handsome, Sexy... really any adjective to describe a really good looking guy, Adonis maybe?” I could feel my cheeks get brighter, unsure if he was flirting with me or just trying to boost his own ego. What was I talking about, he wouldn’t flirt with someone like me. It was just him being an ass!  I turned my face away from him, beginning to feel more and more uncomfortable the longer I stood there. “Oh come on, that was funny! Don’t get your panties in a twist.” “A...are you serious? My panties in a twist? I’m not going to call you those things, especially here, someplace I’m not comfortable in!” I hissed under my breath as a passerby gave us a questionable look. ”Why? I’ve been called way dirtier things on and off the stage. These people are all use to it! I think that boom operator has even seen me get hot and heavy with a few actresses between takes. Honestly, I’m just trying to help you out, make you fit in with the crowd instead of looking like a little lost puppy like you always do, Hon.” He huffed, lowering the script on to his lap to highlight a few of his lines. His eyes didn’t meet mine once as he spoke, more focused on the movie then the insults and remarks he was slinging at me. “W-What the hell is wrong with you! Do you talk to everyone this way or just the people you see lower then yourself?”  “Trust me you aren’t as special as you think you are.” I felt a pin drop in my stomach as he spoke, a rage boiling deep inside of me that I had suppressed for far too long. I was never confrontational, always avoided verbal arguments if I could but having to deal with seeing him do this to everyone, to do it to me when I saw something in him. In a place surrounded by celebrities, by people who worked for him, in a place I felt like I didn’t belong. It felt like one straw too many for the camel’s back.  ”I can’t believe I ever saw something deeper to you then some shallow fuckboy with an ego the size of Mt. Everest!” I snapped, my voice echoing around the suddenly still sound stage. Even with the rest of the crews eyes now on us, Cage didn’t look up. Didn’t even flinch from what he was doing. His only response was a slow lowering of the marker in his hand as the eyes of hundreds of workers bore into my soul.  I couldn’t stand it. I dipped my head away, walking past the security guard that blocked the sound stage door to the outside. No one tried to stop me, to slow me down. Even before I reached the door I could hear them all return to what they were doing, like it was a normal occurrence there. I suppose it probably was when it came to people like him. Didn’t make it hurt any less though, to find out I was just another person on the long list of people he upset. I paced in circles outside the door, tears pricking the corners of my eyes. If I went back in there I knew I’d be stared down, both by Johnny and the movie crew, but if I stayed out here it could be just as bad. Besides wasn’t I suppose to be watching him? Suppose to have his back in case of any danger? Hell even if I hated his guts I wasn’t so petty to leave the guy in a dangerous situation where he could get killed. Or I could get killed. Not like I had a ride, I’d be walking the streets of Hollywood like an idiot. No map, no money. It was dog eat dog world out here even if there wasn’t dangerous mercenaries wanting to rip me to shreds. As I turned around for the umpteenth time, my eyes caught something at the other end of the building, something familiar slipping through the door frame before being blocked by the large metal door. I stopped in my tracks, face furrowing as I tried to piece together where I remembered that kinda clothing, that face. Big boots, something like knives strapped to his body, shaved head. I felt a chill run down my body as it finally clicked, the words of Sonya echoing in my head. ‘See this guy? I’ve been tracking this piece of human garbage for a while. He goes by the name Kano, and he’s the head of the Black Dragons, the same ones that brought that artifact to Earthrealm that changed you. If you ever see him, run. He plays dirty and even if you think you have a chance, you aren’t because he’s got a squadron of goons not far behind.’ “Johnny...” Without thinking I ripped the door open, sprinting into the sound stage only to be confronted with my worse fear. The crimson spray of blood from Cage’s mouth splattered across his body, droplets falling to the floor as Kano readied another punch.  “Johnny! No!” My voice was shrill, and harsh, as I ran towards the enemy, the one I was told to run away from. All to save some ass I told not 10 minutes ago that I saw no good in. As I closed in, I readied a punch, aiming for the cybernetic eye to hopefully bash in with a single decisive strike. I didn’t need to beat him, I didn’t need to win. All I needed was a small advantage for me to get Cage out of danger. My fist was stopped by Johnny’s hand, his face frantic as he stepped into my sight. “ACTING. ACTING, WE’RE ACTORS. LITERALLY ON A SOUND STAGE. DON’T DECK THE GUY TRYING TO GET A PAY CHECK!” “W-what? No that’s- your-” “Blood capsules. Fake blood.” He hissed, letting go of his tight grip on my hand to wipe the red dye from his face. “And that guy, isn’t Kano. He’s a guy I made the director add to movie BASED on Kano.” I felt my hand fall to my waist, turning to face the surprised actor I was mere seconds away from decking. My embarrassment flooded my body, stumbling back a few steps before the director began to scream from off set. “What the hell is going on?! This crazy broad walking on set, nearly hitting my stars, Johnny, baby, what the hell are you bringing to my set? Ya know I thought this bitch would be way more calm the the usual models you bring here but at least those don’t do this shit!”  The older man got up from his chair, megaphone in hand as he approached the actor. The rage emanating from him was palpable, making the air heavy and thick. I moved closer to Johnny, shamefully looking to the actor for guidance. I saw his eyes flicker down to me before giving a cocky look to the old man. “Excuse me? Are you... questioning the people I bring here? Me. Johnny FREAKING Cage? Award winning actor, multi box office record setting STAR... of who he brings on the set? Do you WANT a goddamn strike?” The director’s tone completely flipped at the boisterous words, slinking back into the shadows of the set. “Johnny, baby please-” he began. “Don’t you BABY me. You know my name!” “M..mr. Cage.” “That’s right. And you will address me as such as long as you wanna keep feeding that family of yours with this fat paycheck your getting from working with ME. So you keep your mouth shut about whoever the hell I bring here. I’ll bring a fucking live tiger if I damn well please and you just point your stupid little megaphone, give a big bright smile, and play along. GOT IT?” “Y...yes sir, Mr. Cage. Of course.” Johnny flashed a smile to the rest of the crew as he wrapped an arm around my shoulder, pushing me into his chest. “Now how about you all give my friend Jenna, a great big ‘Sorry’ and we can get back to working huh? Come on don’t be shy! ‘Sorry~ ‘come on, SAY IT!” He screamed, face turning red as the sound stage went hush. Slowly but surely a wave of monotone, ‘Sorry, Jenna’ erupted from the darkness of the sound set, culminating in the most unenthusiastic, forced apology from a group of grown ups I’d ever heard. It if wasn’t for the fact I could see them, I could of sworn that these were elementary school kids being yelled at by a principal for being too loud at lunch time. Johnny’s arm gave me a small reaffirming shake as he turned me toward him, a lip curled in smug pride. “There, ain’t that just the best medicine?” “What are you doing?” I whispered, hand going to touch his still oily chest. “It’s called acting. I figured if I’m the asshole, no one will shift the blame on you and the fact you just tried to bitch slap a B-list actor. After all if I’m a prick, might as well play the part.” He whispered back, giving a quick wink toward me as he patted my back. “Also, you called me Johnny. I gotta admit, that’s got a nice ring to it.” He placed another small pat to the small of my back and led me back toward his chair, giving the stink eye to a few people that glanced in our direction. “So. How bout we take it from square one huh? Come on, let’s get going people, hustle hustle, hustle! I ain’t getting any prettier! ” He began to clap his hands feverously causing the others to begin to run around for another take of the scene. As I reclined in the chair, watching the chaos beginning to start up, I couldn’t help but overhear people begin to bitch under their breath about how much of an ass Johnny was, completely forgetting about what just happened with me. At least Johnny was right about what would happen, making himself the target to absorb the hate. Who would care about some no name when everyone could tell their friends and family how shitty a guy Cage was for bringing the girl in the first place and acting like it was no big deal after all? He wasn’t an idiot, he used his arrogant nature to play people like a fiddle and people were none the wiser. All except for me, who saw the kindness break through the mask. Maybe I was too cruel, or maybe he was just doing it to prove he wasn’t a complete jackass to me. Either way, I was grateful. He didn’t need to do that, but he still did, much like most of things that happened with him.  I watched a makeup artist clean the blood off of Johnny’s chest, reapplying any patches of oil or foundation that had been ruined by the fake blood. Our eyes met from across the stage and with a cocky grin he flexed an arm, throwing a finger gun at me before barking an order at the makeup artist to further reassure his status of a dick. Jeopardizing his status in his inner circle all to make me feel better. What a guy.

Pink

Title: Pink

Category: Pokemon

Relationship: implied Bederia

Rating: T

Summary: Opal knows what she’s talking about when she focuses on pink. She isn’t crazy as everyone believes she is, but she can see things others can’t. There is a reason why she’s so focused on pink.

Author’s Note: This is a freeform drabble that wouldn’t leave my head until it was typed up. It is also one of my late christmas gifts to @pkmntrashcan who I love her stories. All of them are works of pure art and deserve all of the love in the world. I hope that she and all of you enjoys this

Disclaimer: I own no rights to the Pokemon franchise.

~~Story Begins~~

Opal has seen a lot in her 88 (or 16 in Gloria’s case) years of life and has learned from her adventures. She has also won many bets with her older colleagues about who will be the next gym leaders.

Milo didn’t surprise anyone when he took over the grass gym leader position. He tended to dote and love grass types more than any other type of pokemon. To Opal, the color that surrounded Milo was of the calmest greens she had ever seen. 

Nessa was her first bet won of 200 pokedollars.. Nessa wanted to be a model and she worked hard for the job of being a model. However, Opal knew that Nessa would be perfect to do both even through everyone but Nessa and herself said it was impossible. The aura of Nessa was a beautiful swirl of a raging blue of her beloved water types and the pure white light aura of those who live in front of a camera. It was perfectly balanced mixture.

Kabu wasn't surprised either as the man lived and breathed in the mines. The red aura that circled around Kabu was brighter than the red flames of two dueling Magmars. She’s still waiting ten more years to win a bet about that being the time he’ll start looking for a replacement.

Sonia’s yellow aura showed that she would be the perfect electric gym leader if it wasn’t for the fact that Galar didn’t have an electric gym. Sonia also wanted to follow in her grandmother’s footsteps and the yellow aura always dimmed when she listened to Magnolia talk about her life. Opal knew that it was because Magnolia didn’t want Sonia to suffer the same fate that she did when she was young. 

Bea’s tan brown aura matched her fighting spirit that provided the competitor’s with a rough battle that took out about half of those in the Pokemon Challenge. Allister with his dark purple aura and connection to ghost Pokemon was a surprise for Opal as he took over the gym leadership at such a young age, but she still won the bet over both of them being a gym leader for the same gym. It didn’t take her seeing their auras to realize that the times they needed to leave the Galar region allowed them to trade off on being gym leaders. When Bea had to travel to the Orre region to take her place on Mt. Battle, Allister was the gym leader. Then whenever Allister traveled to the Kanto region to pay his respects at the Lavender Tower, Bea took over the gym leadership.

Of course, the fate of the Circhester gym rested on a mother and son relationship. The light blue aura of Melony matched her love for ice-type pokemon. She was also known for giving the cold shoulder to her son who never agreed with her love of ice pokemon. His aura of brown showed his stubbornness with his mom because she didn’t agree with his love of rock-type pokemon. Rumors state that Melony hates rock-type Pokemon because one of them destroyed a classic ice sculpture that she had created. Gordie doesn’t believe it, but his aura matches the rock-type Pokemon that he is a natural leader when the time calls for it. He also defeats more competitors when he’s in charge of the gym while his mother is away than his own mother does. Something about challengers getting frustrated with sand being blown into their eyes hurt more than snow.

Piers aura of wasn’t as black as Marine’s. It was evident at first that he never wanted to be a gym leader as his love was more of performing than it was with gym battles and his love of dark type Pokemon was because they danced more in tune to the hard metal music that he writes. She has a bet waiting to be won for the day when he visits the Kalos region and finally uses the special Z-type moves with the dark type where Nanu makes Piers take over the Grand Trial there. Yes, she can see that Team Skull and Piers would make for a lovely concert that she will be waiting to see.

Raihan’s dark purple aura made him the most natural choice of being Hammerlocke’s gym leader and she won a 5,000 pokedollar bet over that. His calm and cool attitude with the love of selfies had people believing he didn’t understand the amount of power that dragon-types had, but he had an easier time training them than Lance. In fact, dragon-type pokemon just seems to love Raihan. Opal has seen Raihan get mad and his rage matches the true strength of dragon-type pokemon. She knows for a fact that Leon will never forget Sonia’s birthday ever again. 

She had been waiting for Bede to arrive at her gym because he had caught her eye since the opening ceremony. The shade of pink that surrounded him was so bright that it blinded her. He was the perfect candidate to take over the gym challenge for fairy-type. The sense of misdirection and being tricked are what fairies enjoy doing and as a victim of it, Bede would be the perfect leader.

When she saw him in Hammerlocke, after he was kicked out of the League, she instantly went after him because his aura was even brighter than before.

His aura spoke volumes of what Rose (Opal never liked him) did to Bede and her heart broke. She decided then and there that she will adopt him officially as her own as well make him her successor. It will be a long road, but he will come out on top. She glanced at Gloria and nodded more to herself.

Gloria’s colorful aura showed more gold when Bede was around and that same gold outlined his own. She will try her luck at playing matchmaker sometime later, but for now, she had a young child to adopt.

Collapse Into Me Chapter 18 - Representative

The restaurant Marinette's dress The Necklace: I took some liberties with this and changed everything to gemstones...it's more Adrien. ;-) Nathalie worked over the next three days to get everything ready for Adrien’s dinner date with Marinette.  She had reserved a table at Restaurant Guy Savoy for Thursday night. The dress Nathalie had picked out had been sent over to the bakery, and the jewelry Adrien ordered would be arriving this afternoon.  She smiled as she worked on the details, happy that Adrien finally had someone who could openly show they cared.

Nathalie knew that Gabriel cared deeply for his son, but he had changed since Emilie fell ill.  She had been a light, happy presence in the house, as well as Nathalie’s best friend. Adrien reminded her so much of Emilie, which she knew was part of the reason Gabriel avoided Adrien.  He wasn’t ready to give up, to let go of his wife. So, Nathalie tried to be there for her ‘nephew’, helping him get into school and telling little white lies to allow him more freedom. It wasn’t much, but she did as much as she could without losing her job.

“Has it arrived, Nathalie?” Adrien’s worried voice broke into her reverie.

“It hasn’t, but I will look into it now,”  Nathalie answered in her stoic tone, though her heart melted when Adrien’s worried expression softened around the edges and he gave her a glimmer of a smile before he bounded upstairs to practice his piano.  Nathalie noticed he was at his piano every waking moment he could be, learning a song she didn’t recognize. She could only assume it was something special to Marinette.  

Within the hour, she knocked on Adrien’s door, delivering his highly awaited package.  He carefully opened the black jewelry case and gasped at the necklace inside. He closed the case and placed it on his desk.  “It’s perfect, Nathalie! Thank you!”

“I’m glad it meets your expectations.  I’m sure it will be well received.”

“Is everything else ready for tomorrow?”

“Your reservations are for 6 p.m. and her dress was delivered this morning.  Your suit was cleaned and pressed today, and the limo will be sparkling tomorrow.”

“Great!  Now, if I can calm my nerves enough to get through to the dinner, everything will be perfect.”

Nathalie was about to respond when Gabriel called through her earpiece.  She turned on her heel and made her way to the atelier. “You needed something, sir?”

“Was there a package delivered just now?”

“Yes, sir.  A present Adrien ordered for his dinner with Marinette tomorrow.”

Gabriel glanced at Nathalie.  “What dinner?”

“He asked her to go to dinner with him.”

Gabriel nodded.  “Very well. Now, about the Spring line—”

---

Marinette stood in front of her mirror, unable to believe it was her reflection looking back at her.  The dress Adrien had chosen—a baby pink dress, the lace bodice coming to a jeweled neckline and a knee-length skirt with a chiffon overskirt that cascaded down one side—fit her like a dream.  Her mother pulled her hair into a bun, decorated with a cherry blossom comb. She put on the black heels Monique had given her and walked downstairs to meet her date.

Adrien arrived at the Dupain-Chengs’ about 30 minutes before their reservation and headed upstairs after saying hello to Tom.  Sabine answered the door and welcomed Adrien inside. “You look wonderful, Adrien. Marinette will be down in one minute.” She walked to the living room to retrieve her camera.  “I would like to get some pictures of you two before you go.”

“That would be wonderful.  Thank you, Mrs. Cheng,” Adrien answered, trying to keep the nervous wobble out of his voice.  He adjusted his navy blue coat, brushed off his matching pants, checked to make sure the buttons on his cream-colored dress shirt were done properly and his tie, silk with a navy and cream diamond pattern, was tucked into his navy vest.

He heard movement above him and stopped his nervous fiddling to look up and see Marinette slowly making her way down the stairs.  He stepped forward and offered his hand to help her down the last few stairs. “You look radiant,” he whispered as she took her place beside him so Sabine could take photos.

“You’re looking pretty good yourself,” she retorted as they headed downstairs to tell Tom goodbye before getting into the black limo.  “So, where are we going?”

“A place I’m sure you will love,” Adrien began as he tried to relax.  “The owner loves fashion and art. Father used to have meetings at his restaurant all the time.  I remember him telling Mother he always loved the atmosphere and it helped him get through some of his creative blocks.”

“Wow, that is some high praise.  I can’t wait to see it.”

“Then I guess it’s a good thing we are here.” Adrien stepped out of the car once the door was opened and turned to help Marinette out. ��Once inside, they were greeted by the maître d′, and shown to their table.  

They had a wonderful view of the sunset over the river and Marinette couldn’t take her eyes off it.  “I can see why your father found inspiration here. It’s beautiful.” Their server brought water, as well as the first course.  Marinette looked at her plate confused, “We didn’t order yet.”

“I had Nathalie order the restaurant's specialty when she made the reservation,” Adrien explained.  “It is a multi-course meal called ‘Colors, Textures, and Flavors.’ I hope you don’t mind.”

“Oh,” Marinette replied. “No, that’s fine.  I was just confused.”

“Good,” Adrien let out a breath he had been holding as the plates were taken and the next course was brought.  “So, how are the designs coming along?”

Marinette sighed.  “Not as well as I had hoped, but I’ve made progress.  Hopefully, they will translate well enough to move forward.”

“You can always practice with me,” Adrien offered.  “I do know a few things about fashion.”

Marinette giggled.  “I’m sure you do.” She looked over the Seine and watched as people walked along its banks.  “As I told you before, I want my designs to be worn by everyday people. The human figure is diverse and every shape should be celebrated.  I thought a nice way to illustrate this was with the Parisian heroes. Each one has unique skills and abilities, but they are all superheroes.  Does that make sense?”

“Yeah,” Adrien affirmed.  “I love the idea, actually.”

She turned back to look at him.  “Really?”

“Yes.  I hate that only certain body types are used for modeling.  Your line of thinking is a breath of fresh air into the industry.”

“Thanks, Adrien!”  Marinette grinned. “That means a lot coming from you.”

A few more courses transpired as she went into more detail about the designs.  Adrien was entranced with the way her eyes sparkled as she spoke of her passion.  She was truly meant to be in the world of fashion and he knew he had to help her in any way he could.

“Marinette, I was thinking,” Adrien started as the first of their desserts were presented.  “Maybe we could go on a walk before I take you home.”

“I would love that.”  Marinette smiled.

---

“Did you enjoy yourself?”  Adrien asked as he walked with Marinette, arm-in-arm, toward a local park.

“I did.  That was amazing, though I told you not to go overboard.” She swatted playfully at his shoulder, causing them both to giggle.

Adrien threw his hands up.  “I know, but I wanted tonight to be special.”

Marinette glared at him but gave in to his sweet, innocent face.  “It was lovely.” She leaned into his shoulder as they walked.

“I will,” Adrien whispered.  

They entered Gabriel-Pierné park and sat on one of the benches.  “I wanted to thank you for everything you’ve done for me since I entered public school.  You were willing to give the 'spoiled teen supermodel' another chance. I didn’t know how important that day was going to be until now.  You made my world so much brighter, just by being there. Now that we have become so close, my days shine like the sun and no amount of clouds can darken them for long.”  He took her hand and lay a gentle kiss on her knuckles before rubbing them with his thumb. “Marinette, you mean the world to me and I never want you to doubt my feelings for you.  I want to show you each and every day how much you mean to me. I want you to know you can come to me with anything, as I am able to do with you. I can’t imagine my world without you in it.”

Marinette gasped as she looked at Adrien, tears gathering in her eyes at his words.  “Adrien, what are you saying?”

“I’m saying that I love you, Marinette.”  He leaned in his face inches from hers. “I’m asking you to be my girlfriend.”

“I love you too, Adrien.”  She closed the distance and their lips met.  The kiss was short and sweet, but the butterflies that erupted in her stomach continued to flutter.  She smiled shyly as she tucked a piece of loose hair behind her ear.

“So, ah,” Adrien stuttered as he tried to get his bearings.  “Was that a yes?”

Marinette nodded.  “Yes.”

Adrien scooped her up and twirled her around while shouting happily into the night.  When he put her back down, he pulled something out of his jacket pocket. “I have something for you.”

Marinette gasped as he opened the velvet case to reveal a cherry blossom charm made from heart-shaped baby pink sapphires for petals and a dark pink sapphire in the center, set in rose gold and hanging from a matching chain.  “Adrien, it’s beautiful.”

He took it out of the case and placed it around her neck, admiring how it caught the light.  “It looks perfect on you. I remembered how much you loved cherry blossoms, so I thought it would be fitting for tonight.”

She leaned in and kissed his cheek.  “How did I get so lucky as to catch your eye?”

“Funny,” he countered as he leaned in again.  “I’ve been asking myself the same question for weeks.”  He kissed her again, happy to get lost in the moment.

Adrien’s driver came around shortly after and they were driven back to Marinette's house.  Adrien escorted her to the door and kissed her cheek before walking back to the car. He sighed as he leaned against the back of the seat.  He placed a hand to his lips, where they still tingled from their contact with Marinette’s. This still felt like a dream to him, but if it was, he never wanted to wake up.

If I had to make a logline for the short film “Runaway” by Kanye West,  the premise of this short film it would be, “As a phoenix falls to earth, a conflicted artist tries to save her although the phoenix had a different plan”. This short film is different from many other short films I have watched, Kanye West the director of his own short musical film uses all of his songs from his album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy to tell a story. After watching this short film again in order to dissect it, I was able to see components I missed before that made this short so great. With the musical choices made for each scene and the color theories and type of shots and sounds I was able to appreciate the art of this short more.

The director Kanye spent a lot of time putting thought into his art production, to start off with that, wardrobe was a big part of this short. Kanye is seen wearing a tailored suit of black and white while the other main character is seen depicted as an actual phoenix (bird) but also as a woman, dressed in beige, white and pink feathers. I believe the phoenix was depicted as a nude colored bird in order to show her delicateness at first and innocence to how the world works after suddenly dropping to earth as a half bird/human bred. The film was shot in Prague and the artistic details of the locations chose for this film were very simplistic, modern with hints of color through the use of props, wardrobe and the use of the location. The color red was used for enticing, climatic points in the film whether it was through red smoke, red clothing and the use of red lighting.

The basic dramatic structure of this film starts with Kanye West running on a road in a forest looking bewildered as classical music from Mozart plays in the background. Then Kanye’s own music starts playing which each one of his songs move each emotion from scene to scene, the music trying to help tell the story. His song Dark Fantasy plays while he’s driving in the forest as a meteorite and the phoenix crash into his car and he decides to take the half woman half phoenix home. The phoenix never came in to contact with humans before so once West takes her home, she begins analyzing common things in the house trying to decipher what it is (TV, a cup, a couch etc}. Kanye’s goal in mind is to show the phoenix the world and he starts off by showing the phoenix a song he made called Power. After seeing her delightful reaction to him playing his song to her, he becomes smitten by her green like perspective to human life but love for his music. He proceeds to take her to the city showing her something exciting like carnivals which were depicted red to show excitement, seduction, and sensualizing and used his song All Of The Lights.

           In the midpoint of this short film, comfortable with the reaction of the phoenix so far, Kanye takes his new girlfriend to a dinner with close friends. Everyone at the table is black and are tailored in nice white outfits while the phoenix is still dressed as a bird. To show how elegant and rich the party goers are, the table is dressed in lavish food while the guest are all served by white servants dressed in white. In this scene, the song Devil In A New Dress progresses the guest emotions to sit watch and judge Kayne’s guest as they can see she is much different and does not look, act or behave like them. As Kanye watches his guest judge her he proceeds to get up and play his next song Runaway. Ballerinas in black tutus rush in to the scene dancing as Kanye expresses his upset attitude in his song to his guest about always judging and never letting people be different. At the table, servants bring out a “bird” rather a turkey as an entrée and the phoenix loses it. She screams drives the party goers away as his next song transitions in Hell Of A Life. This is the climatic point in the film where everyone at first was okay quietly having someone attend the party that was different from them but once the phoenix started to cause an uproar, it allowed everyone to show their true colors, that they can’t accept somebody that is just different and they proceeded to leave. Once Kanye and the phoenix goes home the song Blame Game transitions back to the house where they sit and discuss life. The phoenix sums up the meaning of this short by stating, she hates this world because they always try to change anything that’s different. She pronounces that she must rise from the ashes in order to experience her fate as the outro song spills in Lost In The World. The whole purpose of this film was to tell a story about how we are all different and like (phoenixes) in our own way, sometimes society destroys are talent and what makes us different but in order to rise to our fate, we must rise from negativity and follow our own fate we feel within ourselves.

           The cinematography used was amazing, the use of camera movement and close up shots to depict art was beautifully done. The editing was very cinematic as well with slow motion shots, slow yet cinematic and colors played a huge role in editing. Reds were brighter and nudes were very warm and inviting. Based off this film, I will employ the element of using music to move each scenes emotion as well as the element of using wardrobe and color to depict the story I’m trying to tell.  The practical challenges we will face will be based on  not having the experience to make cinematic creative choices but watching and researching other elements helps with coming up with ideas to make our film cinematic and beautiful.
