Five Times Two- Art Section - Lou's Message
Hello everyone!
My name is Lou, well Louise, but all my friends call me Lou. I’m twenty four and I’m a French artist, but not a writer nor a vidder and my English is not so bad, I think. Obviously I’m a mega fan of Supernatural as well.
Likiel (Erin for those who don’t know that already) is one of my friends in real life and I love her stories, half of it is not even posted but when I get all stalkerish on her, she actually move her little butt and update.
“Five Times Two” is the second J2 non-AU story she ever wrote and I loved the idea, the concept, the structure of it so much, that I wanted to see it finish and post on LJ. So I proposed to be her artist. Took a lot of coaxing, bump of crappy moments and others shenanigans but we’ve made it.
The idea of “Fives Time two” is inspired by a French movie that Erin and I love very much, here is the poster:
Like in that movie, Likiel wanted to tell her story in reverse, divided in five very special key moments. And I loved it so much I decided to made arts for every one of them.
The first two ones are supposed to symbolize healing. I chose yellow and green to give an impression of peace and happiness after everything that happened to the two characters. And of course “Green” is for Jared who was the one hurt.
Jensen’s quote “Tell love that I love you” is inspirited by a French song of Maxime Nucci, “Dis à l’amour que je t’aime” I used it because I thought of how Jensen was waiting for Jared’s response to his declaration of love and how much bigger than life their shared love was.
“Watch me unfold my soul” comes from a Marié Digby’s song, about someone very afraid to show who he really his to anyone who would want to love them, but yet having the courage to bare his soul and true colors, in hope of finding love. I couldn’t think of anything more fit for Jared in this part.
With the second part of the story, well fourth part since the chapter are in decreasing order, is set in much dark and creepy colors. It’s actually, with the next part, the highest (and longest) part of her fic. I used dark and sad colors because there is no happy place in those moments, not even at the end when Jensen confessed his love to Jared since he dodesn’t want any answer.
“Nobody should love me like that” is of course a quote from Jensen’s rant towards Danneel when she round on him about his relationship with Jared. I love this part; I think Likiel did a great job at showing the intensity, the outrage, the betrayal between the characters. I’m glad Jensen doesn’t deny once that Danneel don’t love him, but refused and rejected that kind of love. In this story it’s more meaningful this way
.
“The worst things in life come free to us” is a quote from the wonderful song of Ed Sheeran called “The A team”. There is a cover of this song that managed to bring me into tears, it’s the one made by Alex G. Her voice is very sad when she sing it and the true of that sentence “the worst things in life come free to us” touched me deeply. I thought it would be a good quote for Jared’s POV.
The arts of part three are as dark as the precedent ones, I used blue and purple, because somehow, I managed to connected those two colors with things like revelations, truth, uncertainty and in the case of purple, imagination and dream.
“Liars, liars, liars” is not a quote. Actually I really didn’t have to think much before I wrote it on my art, because after reading Jensen’s POV during that part, it was instinctively what I came up with. I tried to use some nightmare effect with this art, I hope it shows. The pink color of the sentence is the exact same pink of Jensen’s lips. Do you see irony here or is it just me?
I love this one because it’s so creepy! “I wake up and I can’t breathe” is a direct effect of that wonderful dream’s scene Likiel’s wrote. I’m sure some of you had noticed, she took her inspiration from the song “Imaginary” of Evanescance, and so did I. the purple sky of Jared’s Paper Flowers’s field is represented by the color of the rat and the white of the quote is a tribute to the creamy white clouds.
The fourth part of “Five Times Two” is a delicate one because there is a violent scene and an introspective one. Two different emotions, two different events. Jared is getting beat-up and Jensen is in L.A with Danneel. Using dark colors for those two wasn’t appealing to me, and I needed to use red, crimson red for Jared’s POV.
So, using blue, clear blue for Jensen’s POV seemed like the right thing to do, because even with Danneel, trying and failing to break things up, he was still thinking of Jared, still deeply in love with the man and sure of it. The quote “The world thirst for Love, you will come and slake its thirst” is an extract of one of my favorites poem of Arthur Rimbaud, “Sun and Flesh”.
I’m sure y’all have recognized the title “In the House in a Heartbeat” the music composed by John Murphy for the movie 28 weeks later. I add to it “And in dark places” because this very moment, in “Five Times Two”, the moment when some homophobic people come inside your house to hurt you because you love differently than them, is a life changing someone for Jared, for anyone who ever lived through a violent hate-crime assault. In the house he was trapped, in a heartbeat he was hit, and in dark places he found retracted.
The last two arts are full of love and mischief. It’s about winked to the all unsaid thing of the J2 relationship, the looks, the touches, the words, all the things that make us, fans believes that there is some romance between them. Light colors and the pictures that spoke louder than words.
The quote is an extract of “What’s make you beautiful” by One Direction, but really the only version I ever heard is the Boyce Avenue one.
EXTRAS:
I did made more because Erin needed encouragements and because I do love this story a lot. Enjoy:
That’s what happiness’s about isn’t it? Love.
Danneel’s famous words! I wanted to put them on a picture of chaos and destruction, hence the burning and the blood. The Picture of Jared and Jensen is just killing me here.
That quote was there before she rewrites the entire story, but you get the gist. I really, really love Jensen’s protective side, and it’s something she’s playing wonderfully in her story.
And finally, to give a tribute to the whole in reverse thing, I used a clock that slowly turned back to link the multiple parts.
Ok, I really hope you enjoyed reading this story as much as I did. And I really hope you like the arts. Erin wants me to get my own Livejournal so I can sign up to be her artist on the Big-Bang 2013, and call me crazy but I’m considering it, but only because the plot of her Big-bang is freaking crazy!
If you want to leave me some feedback or ask me a question, leave your comments here, and I’ll respond, promise.
Kiss, y’all.
Lou.
