Description

Yes, so I was insanely bored today, since school's out and I have time to kill before going back to summer school for a couple weeks. Haven't been much into the computer lately, much too busy for that. So please forgive me if I haven't answered anything and have been MIA for what seems like forever.

Aaaaaanywho, moving on. I've been thinkin' alot about my comic (Slow Motion Sickness) and what to do with the characters, and one problem I found was that I have two guys who like the same girl and she seems completely oblivious. So what do I do? Do I choose one over the other or create an entirely different third party. *shrugs* So many options...

But I have been thinkin' alot about the CoreyxDaft pairing, and I do find it extremely cute (though SpyderxDaft is adorable too...in a creepy sorta way XD) But yeah, I got bored and decided to make a little pixel doll-thingie. It took me about two days to figure everythin' out (i.e. clothing, clothing colors, ect.) But when I saw this base, I knew right off what I wanted to do with it. And I love how this turned out. I really do. ^_ ^ Corey looks so stoic and cold and Daft looks so desperately lonely, ready to just cuddle up in his arms, even if he is pushing her away more each day.

See, set this story to this picture here...

Corey has deep feelings for Daft, who has been his "best friend" (even though he treats her as a nuisence rather than friend) since they were tiny ikkle kiddles. He tends to push her away though, not wanting to get into anything 'cause he's unsure of Love itself and would rather focus on other emotions. He views "love" as one of the least important emotions, and this is why his love for Daft puzzles him so. Once he works up the courage to actually express his feelings, along comes Spyder, who (from Corey's POV) compeltely sweeps Daft off her feet with his charm. This makes Corey angry, so he pushes them all away and severs their friendship out of spite. Little does he know that Daft really did like him, and is now terribly hurt by this. She then turns to Spyder, who is stalkerish-in-love with her, you know? He'd do anything for her. Dead serious too. Anything. She says jump off a cliff, he'd go head first. So here Daft is, torn between Corey, who she's had a crush on for the longest time (the sexual tension in the stories can tell you that XD) and Spyder who seems perfect for her. To complicate things, Omni throws herself into the mix by trying constantly to get into Corey's pants (out of spite, mind you, for she enjoys seeing Daft's heartbroken face...the bitch) and eventually she truly becomes attracted to Corey and it drives her insane that she can't have him.

Which is basically the background. So what I asked was this: What would happen if Daft and Corey finally started to admit their feelings for one another? And this particular base caught my eye. It just screamed their situation at me. I mean, there the guy is, embracing the girl, but ridgidly. He's barely touching her as he looks straight ahead, focused on the viewer with an intense stare, almost as if saying to the viewer "I dare you". And then there's the girl, snuggling up close to the guy, sorrowful for unknown reasons, but somewhat relaxed, as though she's waited for a while for this. She goes to embrace him, but he's still stiff, unsure,and pushing her away. It's sad, really, but it makes for a really bittersweet picture.

But enough of my yammering.
