Description
What eventually betrayed him was ironically his heart. She felt it beat away a thunderous rhythm under her palm, the only thing he couldn’t control, and though it wasn’t clear for her why he was upset, she smiled. She liked it, the drumming, the rebellious speed, the defying dance of valves because it said he had a heart, not only in physical way.Again, from Uprooted: [link]
I always loved rough brushstrokes but this one is another step in the experiment, heavily inspired by the great =alicexz
I'm really happy with the outcome, loved working with the wide range of colors and the mess of brushstrokes. Unfortunately Lisa looked more like Kristen Stewart on some points, and I'm not sure if i managed to get rid of that look entirely, so she definitely doesnt wholly look like Rachel McAdams. But I'm still proud of this.
Used some screenshots, of course.

However for me she don't look like Kristen Stewart, when I was looking at Lisa she didn't remember me that actress.

Wow, thanks a lot. I'm still satisfied with this pic, which happens very rarely
You know, till this pic it has never occured to me Rachel looks anything like Kirsten, and I still think she doesnt, but I somehow screwed up something here, and on this pic for some weird reason she reminds me of Miss Twilight
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Don't worry. McAdams in her expressions is happy and joyful, while "Miss Twilight" is dark and -for me- an expression always angry, also in many of her photo out of her Twilight's character (I admit, I don't like Twilight).
And the Lisa you draw have not a dark expression, she is relaxed and romantic, she is not like Bella

This is so stunningly, breath taking beautiful !!!
I absolutely LOVE the colors and the drawing style you used. It's dynamic and vivid and rough.
The way of Rippners look, his eyes... they have kind of a eternal beauty.
And Lisa looks so sweet ! In her face there's pure love.
An impressive piece of art !

I really wanted to give the real quality to his eyes though I'm not sure the color is right. PS cannot make that color
Thank you again

Haha ! You're right. NO Painting program can make the color of Cillians eyes. LOL
But the creative hands of talented people can, such as you ! ^___^
So don't worry: you DID gave his eyes real quality !!! They are as beautiful as Cillians ones.

Oh, thank you
And thank you so much for your long review on the chapter, I was grinning like an idiot while reading it. You are really too kind^^ Calling it an official sequel made me laugh. I'm so relieved that the character development seems okay. Thank you again
How was your holiday? Hope you had a nice time and weather
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
what are invisible brushstrokes??
OH my god, the chapter. It was unbelievably good. I kinda developed a strange habit, the day before your update I always buy a packet of chocolate raisins and eat them while reading your chapter and I was soo happy that there was still a packet in the kitchen, since there was no time for me to buy some before ^^ So yeah, without chocolate raisins it's not the same and everytime I eat them I have to think about your story now
Oh and COME ON. The character development isn't OKAY. It's perfect. Just that. Not too slow (because that would be boring) and not too fast. Realistic, understandable, perfect.
The holiday was absolutely amazing, I don't know why but god seems to like us, because the wheather was absolutely amazing. 32° C and we were on a beautiful beach (well, a beach of a lake, but a really really huge lake, so it was like an ozean

Oh, sorry. I meant: you cannot see the brushstrokes because the colors are nicely blended together. So no rough paint, no dots, not strokes, only the nice, smooth colors.
I'm more into rough things (surprise, surprise
Oh, I hope not Lila stars
I'm happy you were lucky with the weather

Yeah, rough things like Rippner?
No, not Lila stars, why?
Yeah, I'm kinda addicted to chocolate raisins I remember me and a friend running around Oxford to find a package one day during my stay in England
Yeah, the wheater was better than I hoped
Soooo, no schools not out yet

No, it doesnt matter what choco raisin. I asked this particular brand because here I am working with this product, part of my job
Hm, it's not exactly like in Hungary. At age 6 we go to elementary school that last's either for 6 but usually for 8 years. After that you can go to high school that normally last for 4 years (if you attended a 6-year elementary school, then you will go to high school (or gymnasium, how we also call it^^) for 6 years). It is obligatory to be in school till age 16 I guess. At the end of the high school (normally at age 18) you take the huge exam that will allow you to go to college/uni. Sometimes people have exams at 16 as well, but they are some kind of a practice for the real main exam at the end of the high school period.
And do you already know what kind of uni you want to go to?

How can you work with Milka chocolate raisins? (btw, I always thought Milka was German
So, there is only one degree for everyone? Because in Germany the Abitur (that you can only get on a Gymnasium - funny that it's the same word in Hungary) is like the highest degree, needed to go to college or university, which you can't do with a "Realschulabschluss" since it's "lower" than the Abitur. With a Realschulabschluss (aw sounds weird to say a German word in an English sentence ^^) you can be a apprenticed to somebody, like learning a handcraft.
Ah, well I'd like to study medicine to be honest I've already done two work experiences in a hospital (one for the school and one just because I wanted to) and in my old class (in German "High schools", we have a close group of people -usually 20-30 persons, that go to school together until the "Oberstufe" - meaning the last three years of school, which are divided into the "Erprobungsstufe" (something like "Testing phase" lasting one year) and the "Qualifikationsphase" (something like "Qualification phase" lasting two years, which counts for the "Abitur" so every grade we get influences our degree, even if there are huge exams at the end of the Qualifikationsphase)- and then when that "Oberstufe" begins the classes are closed and everyone gets an individual schedule, much like the school system in the USA. I'm now in the first year of the "oberstufe" which will soon end and then every little test I'll write counts for my degree o.O
Oh, well, you know everything about our school system now, I don't even know if you got the system, I didn't explain it too well :/

Milka is monstly German, the brand, the milk is said to be coming from Switzerland or the Alps. Anyway, Milka is the product of the worldwide company which has a branch almost in every Eurpoean country (and non-european too), so here I'm working at this company, dealing with volume planning and sourcing the items. No designs
Well, here we have a degree at the end of gymnasium, and end of a specific gymnasium (like where you chose to learn economics or accountancy beside the normal subjects). At the end of other school types (like handcraft) it is not this kind of degree.
So, with this degree (=your marks from the main subjects, math, literature, etc) AND an exam you have taken at the uni/college you apply to, determine if you can attend the uni (you have enough points) or not. So yes, you need this degree but it is not the same degre as it is for plumbers.
Your system is very interesting. So in the Oberstufe period you dont always attend the same classes with your classmates? Let's say, it can happen that you are the only one from your class who attends Biology for 10 times a week? But how can they fill in a whole class? You are in the same class with people not your age?
So, a doctor? Wow! Actually, I'm impressed by anyone who can stand blood and all that jazz. I cant stand the image of raw flesh, really. Ugh, no. When I researched for gunshot wounds and how to treat them (for Lisa, you know), sometimes I wanted to puke
What kind of doctor you'd like to be?

Well the school system is like this in our "high schools". The first five years (5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th class) we go to school with the same group of people, in my case I think 24 others. They are all in my age.
But in our year there are other classes (usally 3 or four other classes) and the classes are marked with which grade they are and the first numbers of the alphabet (so if we have four classes in one year and they are in the 6th year, the would be called 6a, 6b, 6c, and 6d. The letter always stays while we're in that close group, while the number of course changes after the summer break, when we're in a higher class. I was in the a class, so in my first class on "high school" i was 5a, then 6a and so on).
So when the 9th year ends and the 10th begins (the "Oberstufe") that classes get mixed up and every student in my year (meaning every student in the 9th grade) gets a individual schedule. Then we go to so called "kursen" which means nothing else than course in German. So for each subject I learn with a different group of people now, some of them from my old class, some from the others. But all are about my age, because the courses are build up of students from year. In what course I get when depends on my schedule.
The subjects I go to in the "Oberstufe" I choose at the end of 9th grade.
There are a lot of courses for one subject (for example there are five math courses in my year, because it's an important subject everyone has to take) but the courses don't change.
It's hard to explain, let's say there is math course A and math course B (they aren't named it's just to explain it better) and I got math course A on my schedule, then I'll always go to math course A. So I don't have math with group A on monday and with group B on wednesday. Always with group A. So while the people and teachers change for each subjects, the courses itself remain.
I have a different group of people for each subject I work with, but within this groups the people don't change anymore. (awww, I'm explaining this soooo badly!
And yes, it's possible to be the only one in my biology course from my old class, but if the course would be ten times a week (which would NEVER happen, the maximum is three times a week) then everyone in that course would have to go to biology ten times a week.
soo, that was a rather short introduction to our school system, which I actually find pretty boring
I don't know what kind of a doctor, yet, maybe an internist.

Nah, you dont have to buy lilac products with unnatural colored cows
I dont really like chocolate but if i eat, I only like dark chocolate (70% at least). And After eight - the only chocolate I can feel real enthusiasm for (or Ritter Sport's Mint choc. that's also good^^). But I'm more of the cookie type, homemade cookies FTW.
Wooh, okay, I get it, the system, this is how i imagined it. It's differs from ours because we also have these special courses but they are within one class, since we have to choose which way we wanna go at the end of 8th (so beginning of high school). So for instance I attended a special-language course in gymnasium where half of the class had a lot of English per week and a bit less German (but compared to other subjects, we had a LOT of foreign language lessons), while the other half of the class had it the other way around: lot of German and a bit less English. Or my sister: her half of the class had a shitload of Literature and History, while the other half had tons of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. But it was decided in the beginning, so they collected all these kids with the same interest in one class.
Internist? Jesus. So you are able to dissect some poor animals already?

Uaaah, after eight. I hate it! My mother is all crazy about it, but even the smell makes me sick to my stomach (okay, so the last time I tried some is 5 years ago, maybe I changed my mind, since I eat almost everything... thanks to my metabolism and sport I stay thin but I guess once I'm out of puberty I will be a real fatty, since I eat a lot lot lot
Ritter Sport is okay, I also thought that was German (geez, is anything NOT international at all. Do you know Lind Chocolate? It's a really expensive, but reaaally delicious chocolate)
So, you have to choose like what main focus your subjects will have? Like linguistical or natural scientufic?
We have to choose such a focus, too, at the end of the 10th year, during the last two years there are two subjects we have five times a week, which will be the ones we write our "Big exams at the end of school time" in. And then there are two other subjects we also have to make that exam in, but they aren't as important. Those two really important subjects are called "Leistungskurse (Leistung = effort, achievement)" and one of them has to be either math, german or english. The other one we can choose freely, but if we want to take a Leistungskurs in art of sports, the other one has to be math. My Leistungskurse are English and German, the third course (so one of the other two important courses, that are just not THAT important as "Leistungskurse") is math and the fourth (which will be a vocal exam) is religious studies.
It's a bit complicated how to choose them, too complicated to explain now, but apart from that four important courses (which are the courses that make I think 75% of my Abitur) there are 10 or 11 other courses, like history, biology, literature etc.
I make a linguistical degree, since I chose French to be my focus, but it doesn't really matter what focus you choose, the degree is the same and I can go to a scientistic college with a linguistical degree for example, doesn't matter ^^
I don't know, I never tried. We don't dissect animals in school and I wouldn't kill a poor frog to look at it's entrails.

Okay, I can understand it, most people hate mint. I love it in any form.
Yes, Ritter Sport is definitely German
What sport do you do? Just curious
Wooh, pretty messy, your system
So very different.
Religious studies? It's very interesting! Are you religious btw?
You are so lucky, btw. Your mother lang. is German (which is pretty well known and important), you speak English absolutely fine, and then you also speak French? Wow, and still so young. When I was your age, I could mumble a single sentence in English without a minute pause beforehand
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, actually, what you described sounds just like our exam. 4 subjects (two of them a little more important than the other two) and the end degree constists of the outcome of those exams and every grade you made during the last two years of school (that means for me, after the summer break EVERY little test counts for my graduation!! 
I also considered taking biology, but chose math, because I'm a math genius (I'm sorry, that sounds a little narcistic, but I don't remember a test I wasn't A in. It's not very impressive to have a natural understanding in math, there are far greater talents, but that's at least one thing I can be 100% sure about. I just get math. It's too easy^^ And fun *nerd moment*)
Yes, I am religious, otherwise I wouldn't be interested in a movie like "Dogma" right?
The thought th
at there is no life after death is unbearable for me. I'm really not a strict catholic, God and everything is more of a personal thing for me and one of my best friends is an atheist, so I don't judge people if they have other opinions (at least not when it comes to god). But I do judge people that only say they don't believe in god, because they think it's uncool to do. Pretty lame I guess, but that's their business.
Are you religious?
Yeah, I love English, I do make mistakes, I know (especially with my comma placement, that's more or less randomly done by me, in English and German) but I'm just very interested in the language and I understand pretty much everything, wheather it's written or said.
French, well I only started learning the lanugage half a year ago, so I wouldn't say I'm able to engage in a real conversation.
And I find it hard to believe that you sucked at English, when I look at your complex writing style in Uprooted. You really have a huge knownledge of vocabulary for a non-native, you're English is better than in some stories from natives^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, I really appreciate, thank you for letting us have the pleasure and eat Ritter Sport
Wow, so you are a genius? I knew that
I loved maths too, that's why i went to Finance and accountancy but there it was totally different. I hated that school, and didnt like maths either (okay, maybe in the end when i finally understood derivation-integration.)
You are absolutely right about explanations like not believing in God just out of fashion. That's immature. No, i'm an ateist but not because I think it's cool (what a stupid term - is there anything tjat can be labelled by being cool regarding religion??). I just cannot believe in anything supernatural, anything beyond what I sense. I know it is very close-minded but for my mind it is unacceptable to have an allpowerful being somewhere that rules and creates and supervises everything. I'm more of a realist, and logically God's existence cannot be proved. Sometimes it could be good to believe but i'm just unable to do so. But i can fully accept that others think differently - esp. that half of my family is a believer in a certain way.
And religion in itself is a very interesting subject, in one part of my life i wanted to learn general history of religion, because it made me curious - i always like mythologies and for me, religion is just another form of mythology.

More a geek than a genious you could say
Sure you knew that, you're genious too.
Well, we could start arguing about this topic now, but I'm not one to try to convince someone of god's existence. Like I said, I think it's a very personal thing no one should influence. And making war about wheather there is a god or not and whoose god is the right one is ridiculous (in a sad way.) And it's not close-minded to not believe in anything supernatural, it's just another perspective.
After all, we're all gonna find out wheater there's a god or not when we're dead, so why fighting about this now? ^^

Oh, they went well I don't know if I already wrote it, but I got an A in the German Exam (ore more a 1, in Germany the grades are in numbers, from 1-6, 1 being the best, 6 the worst). I didn't get the results of the other exams yet, but they went fine, so I hope the grades will be good
Yeeeah, I'm soo excited about the update, I had no time to read the new chapter yesterday, so I'm gonna do it today and aaaah, I'm sooo excited!!!
Oooh my good, are you in Slovakia because of your job or on holiday? It's soo cool that you travel so often, you seem to see a lot of the world.
How do you like it there, the landscape must be beautiful.
My, my, I'm so impressed with your writing skills, always revising and making sure everything fits and is in character. The secret of your story I guess

(btw, in Hungary we have grades from 1-5, 1 being the worst. It's always so funny to see the different systems, like A-B,etc in USA and so on)
I was in SLovakia (Bratislava) on business. I usually dont travel so much in my job, but right now I', on a project which requires regular visits mostly to Slovakia. But nothing nice, really. I mean i dont get to see mountains, only the capital city, but for the 5th time it gets a bit boring. Not to mention that we are doing nothingg but sit in the office all day

And get them quickly, there only on the net for two more days!!
No, my exams are over now
Oh, really, so 5 is the best grade in Hungary? I agree with you that it's amazing how different the school systems sometimes are
Oh, well, I've never been to Slovakai, but since I'd like to see as much as possible from our world, I hopefully get there too someday^^
The chapter was INDESCRIPABLE AWESOME, Jackson is such an asshole (but it was soooo incharacter) I LOVE LOVE LOVE how you develope their relationship, with them finally admitting their feelings for each other (if only secretely) and still not bein OOC. *sighs
It's so hard to have to wait two week for the next upday
Yeah, I loooove Pushing Daisies, I didn't know that you knew it, too. Most of my friends don't like it, because it's so colourfull and a bit over, but sooo great. And I mean Lee Pace, man!

Agggh, now i'm levitating, yes, yes, yesss
So to more serious notes (if I'm capable of anything like that right now XD)
Sure, 5 is the best in Hungary. Actually both system make sense.
LOL, if Jackson seems an asshole, im happy. I had this problem of turning him less Jackson-like but it is so hard to keep him in-character and still showing a face of him that would appeal to Lisa.
I knew Lee Pace before i knew PD. He's in The fall (my icon), and that's when i got to know him. Then i checked all his films out (okay, not ALL all, but a lot), and watched PD and Wonderfalls (which is another funny series) PD is great, unique, original, funny. I wish it was longer.
Oh, yep, those puppy eyes and cute smile. And he IS tall!

Yes, pushing daisies is great, did you notice the actress that played Cynthia in Red Eye appeared in it? I think it was in 1x04 ( I remember it, because I was a total fan of that show when it was broadcasted in Germany and to that time I already knew Red Eye and I was like "Hey! That's cynthia!"
Yes, he indeed is!

I saw that you read it, thanks for the comment. No I didn't feel offended, I was planning to do it with an I-narrator from Lisa's POV and a third person narrator from Jackson's POV (this way some of his thoughts can be kept a secret, but it's still from his point of view. Harry Potter is written this way for example and I always liked it)
Yes, but only very "rough" versions, I have two more chapters already, but they really lack any precision and need to be checked a lot before I can upload them

You mean, the HP-style for Jack's parts?
You are planning to give Jackson's narration a separate chapter? Because I'm not sure how it would look within one chapter with Lisa's 1st narration, and Jackson's third. Plus, if you plan separate chapters, then you lose the chance of them reflecting on the same event at the same time, simultaenously. So he has to either reflect back at some past event (but it takes away the tension) or doesnt reflect at all. Maybe you should go with the HP-style for Lisa's part (3rd person), and sometimes within the same chepters and scenes you can add his angle. But i really dont want to sound to insistent, so ignore me^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
actually, he will be reflecting on an event in the past a lot at some time in the fanfiction. Just from that point the story is from his POV, until that it's gonna be all Lisa's POV. And I won't change Lisa's narrator from an I to an 3rd person narrator, because I started with an I narrator and will keep that, anything else would be weird.
But I won't change POVs within chapters.
I understand your arguments, but I decided to do it this way, so I'll stay with that ^^ It serves the purpose just fine to have him in 3rd person and her in first person.
