Username: Chanceuxcat
Name: Rock N Roll // Mila
Gender: Female
Name Meaning: Call name means "beloved" or "love", a sweet name for a sweet girl. It is also pronounced "my-luh". Show name is based on a song by Avril Lavigne which is about not caring about what others think of you (and is fitting too as her mate would be Avril).
Song Link: girls by girl in red
Animatic: (just ideas for now, not sure if I'll have time to add art yet! The actions under the lyrics are the things happening during those words. Also, Mila doesn't have her flower crown at the beginning of the song.)

I've been hiding for so long
These feelings, they're not gone
*Mila glances toward Avril then quickly looks away during next verse*
Can I tell anyone?

Afraid of what they'll say
So I push them away
I'm acting so strange
*Avril comes over to Mila with a smile, but it turns to a frown when Mila turns and walks away (and Mila looks a bit ashamed of her actions towards Avril, though Avril quickly shrugs it off)*

They're so pretty, it hurts
I'm not talking 'bout boys, I'm talking 'bout girls
They're so pretty with their button-up shirts
*Mila looks at Avril from a distance as Avril sits talking to another collie. The other collie is male, and the camera pans from him to Avril at "I'm not talking 'bout boys, I'm talking 'bout girls"*

I shouldn't be feeling this
But it's too hard to resist
Soft skin and soft lips
*Mila stands and nervously walks over to Avril and the other collie*

I should be into this guy
But it's just a waste of time
He's really not my type
I know what I like
*The other collie gets up, leaving Mila with Avril. They smile at each other.*

No, this is not a phase
Or a coming of age
This will never change
*Mila looks down at her and Avril's paws, then back up at Avril*

They're so pretty, it hurts
I'm not talking 'bout boys, I'm talking 'bout girls
They're so pretty with their button-up shirts
*Mila's mouth is moving at this as she confesses her feelings to Avril*

They're so pretty, it hurts
I'm not talking 'bout boys, I'm talking 'bout girls
They're so pretty with their button-up shirts
*She looks back at Avril's face and Avril leans in, touching their noses together. Mila's eyes widen in surprise, but then she closes her eyes too and leans in a bit. Both of them are smiling as they kiss (in a collie nose boop way lol)*

*The next few moments of music are shots of them both playing together and overall just being cute*

'Cause I don't know what to do
It's not like I get to choose who I love
*Mila looks around at the other collies who glance her way as she and Avril walk together. Mila's worried they may judge them, but her attention is grabbed by Avril who makes her smile. She doesn't care any more what they think (although they don't mind her and Avril being together anyway <3)*

Who I love, who I love, who I love
*Another bunch of shots of Mila and Avril being adorable girlfriends*

They're so pretty, it hurts
I'm not talking 'bout boys, I'm talking 'bout girls
They're so pretty with their button-up shirts
And they're so pretty, it hurts
I'm not talking 'bout boys, I'm talking 'bout girls
They're so pretty, it hurts
*Avril gives Mila her flower crown and she wears it proudly. Mila and Avril now are travelling through a bunch of different scenes. They're not in more private settings like an empty park, but are now proudly being together in public places with other collies around. Mila's no longer afraid of her sexuality and embraces being herself. The song ends with her and Avril curling up together happily as they drift off to sleep.*

Name: solK sweet aphrodite // sappho
Gender: female
Name Meaning: inspired by the sappho poem - 'sweet mother, I cannot weave – slender aphrodite has overcome me with longing for a girl,' taking the first word of the poem and the name of the goddess of love and beauty mentioned within it.
Song Link: if we were vampires - jason isbell
Animatic:

it's not the long, flowing dress that you're in
a close up of sappho's face. she opens her eyes. she turns her head

or the light coming off of your skin
another collie, still sleeping. only her nose is visible beneath a blanket.

the fragile heart you protected for so long
sappho rests her head on top of her lovers with a smile. her ear flicks.

or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong
the blanket shifts to reveal her lovers face. we see the other collie is scarred.

it's not your hands searching slow in the dark
her lovers eyes open. we see they are blind. she turns her face towards sappho.

or your nails leaving love's watermark
sappho nuzzles her lovers. the colouring turns grey - a flashback.

it's not the way you talk me off the roof
a cage. a human hand snapping back. sappho, snarling. behind her, her lover.

your questions like directions to the truth
her lovers expression is gentle - she looks as she does in the present, scarred and blind. her head is tilted, questioning sappho's anger.

it's knowing that this can't go on forever
sappho walks back to her lover, nudging her head under hers. sappho looks tired.

likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
pull back. the lower half of a human stopping outside the cage. sappho doesn't snarl.

maybe we'll get forty years together
return to the basket scene. sappho licks at her lover's face.

but one day i'll be gone
or one day you'll be gone
sappho rests her head on top of her lover's and closes her eyes with a sigh.

if we were vampires and death was a joke
the colouring slowly turns sepia. a thought. refocus on sappho and her lover, canine teeth poking from their lips.

we'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke
they are sitting against a building. we get the impression it is in the victorian times. a pair of collies pass on leads.

and laugh at all the lovers and their plans
sappho laughs. her lover leans against her, smiling, chiding gently. colour changes back to normal.

i wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand
return to the basket. close up of sappho moving her paw to her lovers.

maybe time running out is a gift
a stopwatch, ticking rapidly.

i'll work hard 'til the end of my shift
sappho, clearing the last jump of an agility trial. she is handed a rope toy.

and give you every second I can find
uninterested in how she did, sappho rushes to her lover on the sidelines -

and hope it isn't me who's left behind
- sappho's tail wags. she offers the lover to her toy. her lover smiles.

it's knowing that this can't go on forever
her lover takes one side of the rope toy. they walk together, slowly. sappho's lover limps.

likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
the scene changes. sterile white tile. sappho, staring at a clock.

maybe we'll get forty years together
a door opens. sappho bolts through.

but one day i'll be gone
or one day you'll be gone
sappho's lover, bandaged, sleeping. sappho comes to lie by her side, keeping vigil.

it's knowing that this can't go on forever
her lover wakes to give her a sleepy smile.

likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
we return to the basket scene. sappho's lover moves to nuzzle at sappho's muzzle.

maybe we'll get forty years together
a close up of their muzzles. they begin to grey.

but one day i'll be gone
sappho - her eyes now clouded and blind too, and her lover lower their heads to the blanket, greyed muzzles pressed against each other.

one day you'll be gone
sappho's lover licks at her nose and rests her paw over sappho's, drawing her back from thinking of the past and the future and daydreams. the greying reverses. they are still young. they are together. they rest their muzzles against each other again, expressions warm and adoring.

the screen slowly fades, framing the last second as a still image, a polaroid photo.
