SuKor OS: Almond Blossoms - Page 3

Thanks a lot!! 😃

So, our sensitive boy was impressed by this one:

My sister said that this is not a typical Van Gogh as here he doesn't use those strong powerful colors or the dramatic brush strokes which always indicates the storm that dominated his mind and heart. Using blue and white was not his style and the calm that these bring to this work is very rare.

I was thinking how well you have chosen this painting for your story. Suraj's character came across as an emotionless person always keeping a straight face. But in reality he was actually searching for something. And this painting made me realize that he was looking for peace and happiness in his family. That's how he was introduced. He was upset that his parents didn't come to take him home from his school like other parents as even if he had failed they should have shown their support. Suraj has always been the one to calm his father or tried to bring peace between Ranjana and Tejaswini unlike Vivaan who most of the time tried to instigate them against each other. That's why the producer chose all these three actors to play Suraj's character: the two kids and VJ, all of them have expressive eyes which indicate that behind the tough exterior there are some deep hidden emotions.

And about the rest of the story, what more can I say? Suraj's confession regarding his past deeds done to Chakor was lovely and so touching. Thinking that he has only few minutes to live and he said it all! I'm already imagining this scene in my head with VJ acting it.

Also, I love the fact the you emphasize Tejaswini's devotion to her husband. I know that this woman did horrible things herself, but her devotion to her marriage is one quality that I hope that Suraj has inherited.

And one more thing, I was happy to read that Suraj didn't keep the money for himself and gave it all to Chakor. I know he will do the same in the show.

Sorry for my long reply. I get carried away when I read or see something beautiful which puts my mind at work 😳

First of all, thank you so much for taking out the time to read this and leave me such a kind, thoughtful comment (I've probably said this before, but I really really love and appreciate what you have to say about my writing!).

To be honest, you're giving me far more credit than I deserve!

Since Van Gogh is my favourite painter, I decided to name all the fics in the series after his masterpieces that would make short titles and I could somehow work into the story as well. Starry Night and Sunflowers were never directly referenced, but for Almond Blossoms, I had to include that dialogue, because how else could I fit it in (I myself have a calendar of his paintings, so not very imaginative of me)? 😆

Thank you so much for sharing your sister's insight into Van Gogh's work! I am in awe of her spot-on analysis and comparison with his other, probably more well-known works. And thank you for attaching the picture. Seeing any Van Gogh painting just makes my heart happy! And Almond Blossoms is one of my favorites (along with Starry Night over the Rhone and Starry Night itself).

And you, Claudia! I wish I'd actually put that much thought into Suraj's connection with the painting. That was just brilliant! The reference to his first scene and his role as peace-maker in the house. That entire interpretation is better than the fic itself 😆.

I implore you, we need some fanfiction from you! Even if it's a teeny-tiny one-shot. Because no one on the forum understands and sympathises with Suraj like you do. 😊

So, it is your merit to be inspired by something that people can relate to it and to have the wonderful idea of integrating in your work in a very original manner. You're idea of naming the three works after Van Gogh's paintings was remarkable.

And I don't read many fan fictions because even if the idea is great, if the story is not coherent or doesn't catch the essence of the characters, I simply can't read it. And when I like something, I'm really vocal about it. It doesn't matter if its a fan fiction, a book or simple article, I need to share my enthusiasm with someone. Too bad that there are not many people who can sit and listen to me, lol.

You're very kind to think that I can write something myself. The truth is that I daydream a lot (too much for my mental health actually), but I quickly jump from one idea to another and I don't have the patience to put them down. That is why I have a lot of respect for people who can do so, who take from their free time and make the effort of creating something.

We're all in desperate need of some SuKor romance 😆 Thanks for reading and commenting! 😊

Marvelous update frd...👏👏👏
