Description
Not as in cigarette lighter.... I don't have much of an idea of what's actually happening here. But they're somewhere in between the ages of fourteen and eighteen, and somewhere at least slightly cold as evidenced by Peony's scarf and coat. I think something really bad happened to Jade at wherever he went after he got adopted by the Curtisses, and he passed out on the street. So since Peony's there, they're either in Kethelburg in summer or Grand Chokmah in winter, or somewhere else and Peony's just following Jade around.
Y'know, people like writing about their lives in Kethelburg before The Professor died, but I've only seen one fanfiction concerning what happened in between that and when Jade jumped in to save Luke and Tear from the liger.
And yes, I did say 'Kethelburg.' Twice.
Jade Curtiss (formerly Balfour) and Not-Exactly-Emperor-Yet Peony belong to Namco Bandai.

It's the original Japanese transliteration of Keterburg. ^^ Like how we might've had a Regret, and stuff.

Oh. I knew that, I just didn't understand why you thought it was so awesome... I like most the Japanese names better, though. Kethelburg, Regret, Vaticle...

Thanks. I worked hard on it.

In saying this is cute, I am in no way implying that I see only a pairing in this picture, and I am not thinking dirty fangirlish thoughts.
Thusly, I THINK THIS IS ADORABLE. 
Jade's lower legs seem slightly odd, and I think that's because of how Peony's hand is positioned. If his hand were like that, underneath his... knee? ... Do you call it that there? Under the leg... ._.; ... okay. Well. With his hand there, then Jade's lower legs would probably dangle lower.
... this picture really makes me want to write a fanfiction of it. 
... Geez, I'm so glad you're able to submit stuff. ;-; Because it's all so BEAUUUTIFULLLLuh.

Yes, Jade looks too stiff. He looks mostly dead instead of just unconscious. But it is cute. Not the deadness, though. And you're not the kind of person who sees pairings in everything, and besides I only told you it wasn't a pairing picture about five times. But thanks for the compliments. *goes off to fix Jade's legs*
You can write a fanfiction! You're good at writing fanfictions! *points to Something Warm as evidence*

Otherwise, though, he looks great! D: And the leg thing is easily fixed, and not that noticeable.
I like friend-love. Because it's just so cute and nice. Like how Guy is to Luke. Or how Jade SHOULD HAVE BEEN to Dist, because now Dist is traumatized by having a mean friend. D:<
Luke: Somehow, with you, it always comes back to Dist.
YES. WELL. D<
I-I actually cringe every time I think of Something Warm now. u.u Every single time that I show any of my writing to someone else, unfailingly, I will grow to hate at least some part of it. (Like that one poem I wrote about 9/11 in fifth grade that she thought was so splendiferousthat I should read it in front of the whole school, and everyone should get copies of it... ugh... *shudders*)
I made Jade too emotional and pushy. I don't regret making him too nice, but...
And well... I basically hate the part where Anise kinda breaks down, I think I wrote it badly. ;-; There should be less thinking, it should be more concise...
And I think the title is atrocious.
Hmm. Maybe I'll write a fanfiction of it anyway. >.>; And I can hopehopehope that I don't get a block halfway through and give up before getting to the part that I'm looking forward to most. u_u Like I've done with at least four fanfictions.
... Dangit, if you had scanned this at my house, I could have lineart'd and colored it! D:

Raine: Very observant, Luke.
Funny that you should mention that, Lauren, because I was reading in Psychology Today that the people who are perfectionists and never let anyone else see what they write never get any better because they don't get any feedback. So if you think you're writing badly, writing more and showing it to people is actually a good thing. And I like the way you write.
If you get writer's block, I'll bother you until it goes away. Besides, I want to hear your take on what the really bad thing is anyways.

Luke: *scratches ear* Sh-shut up.
... ;o; Noooes... I want to improve, but... ;-;
I'm not necessarily saying that I hate how I write in general... it's probably just my warped memory of it.
I strongly dislike looking back on my writing and constantly seeing ways that it could be a million times better in this one certain spot. (Unless it's like that poem from fifth grade, which I didn't like much to start with, so... D: ) So when I write, I'm a perfectionist, but the bad parts aren't painful. I can still fix them. However, when I show it to any people, the perfectionist aversion to even slightly mediocre phrases grows about a thousand percent. To the point that it's almost physically painful remembering the bad parts, much less READING them again.
So I can't actually remember what I wrote.
OTL
I just see the scene in my head.
... Maybe being a crazy perfectionist runs in my family. *POINTS HUGE FLASHING SIGNS AT SISTER*
She literally pulled me down to the ground by my hair the morning I was visiting the public high school because my hair was wet and she wanted to put it into a ponytail because I have to look perfect because people know her and I have to be a perfect little reflection of her, but I wouldn't let her put my hair up. D: So the rest of the morning until she went off to her classes was a nightmare.
One of the only cons of going there: I'll have to drive with a psycho-nazi EVERY SINGLE MORNING.
How disheartening.
Mmkay. That's enough of my overly-long paragraphs. *duct-tapes mouth*
