Naminé finished the final stroke on her sketch of Destiny Island, and Sora's memories of it. She bit her lip as she pulled her fingertips across the messy etchings of crayon. Her eyes strayed to the white of the pages, still untouched by her colours. The pure space filled her sapphire eyes, and drew them to the "sleeping" Keybearer.
Placing her sketchbook on the table, Naminé approached the pod. She touched the undefined crystal; the fingers reflected back were not hers. "Kairi" protected Sora from her now.
Their white light could no longer include the ecru tint of her existence.

I really like this drabble. Set post-CoM and pre-KHII, I like considering Naminé while she is trying to fix the mess she made of Sora's memories. I still think the Naminé cares about Sora in some way or another, but I think that Kairi would want her to stay away from Sora in fear that the memory witch will harm him farther. That and Naminé being shut out of the world where "real" people live emphasizes her Nobody existence. For those playing the home game, "Ecru" means off-white. It's very fitting of Naminé, wouldn't you agree? Kingdom Hearts Literatures ©  Tainted © Me Kingdom Hearts Literatures @ Riku-of-Darkness. Naminé: Ecru ~~~ Zexion == Dk.

 Ecru...
Ecru... Definitely a word I haven't seen or heard about. Would it somewhat be similar to egg shell? I like how you described the white edges of the pages and the pod that Sora sleeps in. Very intricate and precise. It's too bad how messed up Namine is though... --  I moved to a new account! Please  ~Onyx-Twilight if you want to follow my work. I'd appreciate it if you did.  My sister *Freya03 is taking commissions: [link]  Soooo pretty. And yet so angsty. But in a subtle way. :3 Justice and unfairness are having a battle in my head, here.
-- "She has willingly pricked her finger, only to see the truth beneath the rose." Riku-of-Darkness I first learned about it when learning how to cross-stitch. There's white and there's ecru; outside of that (and black), all colours are listed via number. I like the word and the idea of being "white, but not quite".
You'd be amazed how many people say that. It's actually a little closer to beige, and it's very washed out, hence "off-white". It's very close to this swatch: [link]  Thank you. I always remember my art teacher talking about "white space" on the page, about how it needs to be filled and such. It draws attention away from the colour.  Yes, the pod. Trying to describe that thing is hard enough, let alone in a word restricted drabble. I'm glad it worked. Yes... A fractured girl. -- Wandering the rain soaked nights. Searching for a storm to wash away these blood-stained tears "If you are an Unknown, you must have a variable in your name." [Kat] "The road to hell is paved with adverbs" [Stephen King] Hehe. Figured I needed some female angst in there somewhere. And yes, you caught the justice hint. Whee~
-- Wandering the rain soaked nights. Searching for a storm to wash away these blood-stained tears "If you are an Unknown, you must have a variable in your name." [Kat] "The road to hell is paved with adverbs" [Stephen King]  Yup. ^^ I've never heard of such a word, and I almost pulled out a dictionary while I read this.  So that's ecru huh...? Hmm, wow. You draw too? Dang, is there anything you can't do? j/k  -- I moved to a new account! Please ~Onyx-Twilight if you want to follow my work. I'd appreciate it if you did. My sister *Freya03 is taking commissions: [link] Haha. Last time I used it in a story, a reviewer of mine said the same thing
 Me? I don't draw. Where did you get that one?  -- Wandering the rain soaked nights. Searching for a storm to wash away these blood-stained tears "If you are an Unknown, you must have a variable in your name." [Kat] "The road to hell is paved with adverbs" [Stephen King] Um...I read your 'Artist's Commentary'...? It was talking about an Art Trade between you and a friend of yours.
Or maybe I read it wrong?-- I moved to a new account! Please ~Onyx-Twilight if you want to follow my work. I'd appreciate it if you did. My sister *Freya03 is taking commissions: [link] Oh! Haha. Right.
Well, technically, I'm giving her a story, since I cannot draw to save my life. I just wouldn't know what else to call the exchange, ecept an art trade. -- Wandering the rain soaked nights. Searching for a storm to wash away these blood-stained tears "If you are an Unknown, you must have a variable in your name." [Kat] "The road to hell is paved with adverbs" [Stephen King] Ohhh....I see I see.
Makes better sense now.  -- I moved to a new account! Please ~Onyx-Twilight if you want to follow my work. I'd appreciate it if you did. My sister *Freya03 is taking commissions: [link] |
