The story’s main themes are of Love and Unity to show this I wanted to do a storyline based on me and my sisters relationship growing up as being Twins we were compared to quite a lot. These rough notes are developments I made from my original storyline. The original storyline consisted of the twins growing up in separate rooms and then fighting as they grew older. This in turn causes them to grow distant only to disagree with each other more till a full on fight ensues because of it. However, I struggled with developing the story in a way that was easy to tell in a 1 minute window and one that displayed me and my sisters relationship correctly as well.
To get over this adversity I planned my storyline countless times to make sure each part made sense to me and the people I was telling the story to. Noting the story down in beats made it easier for me to analyse and change parts that clearly did not work as well as the other parts and helped to start to visualise what environment I wanted the twins in from text alone. By also limiting the amount of parts to my story it shortened it by a fair amount so I ended up with a story that was much closer to being able to be told in 1 minute.
The story ended up changing to prioritise the fight more. There was going to be a conflict for an item we both wanted. My sister would obtain the item first but then hand it to me for pity. Then I would conjure an demon from it which would terrorise us. Out of the goodness of her heart she would save me from the demon but get severely hurt. She would attempt to get me to break the item to rid of the demon but I refuse breaking her trust. She decides to snatch the item breaking it but the damage is done. After I go to rekindle her trust showing her how much I am willing to change for her a good representation of our friendship.
This changed story showed the main Themes of Love an Unity more since it shows the love and care we have for each other but also how we come together at the end in Unity to show that our friendship is stronger than materialistic things that could tear us apart.
Notes made on the storyline progression(RAW):
28th Of February 2024
Two sisters at the start identical
Ka makes creature out of lego
I draw creature
They come to life and play with us they semblance our other forms
We are destructive
They are the innocence
Ka is offensive
I am defensive but explosive
Our eyes change colour
Two doors one opens to ka and one opens to me
They cross eventually and we are very different
When we argue we look different
Ka looks like a demon or someone scary
My face is obscured
It brings us to the other world
When the creatures touch or hug the world shatters and forces our forms/masks to break and we see each other for the first time in years as human beings in a field of flowers
There is a line in the white room
When we start arguing the rooms get overwhelmed by things growing from our feet and the room turns into a battlefield
Better ending: monsters show up and we use our defence and attack together to fend them off
Me
Strengths – defensive and confident
Weakness – avoidant, secretive and stubborn
Power – able to create a defensive barrier only in dire situations
Fight or flight – first thought in a threatening situation is to stand and fight by defending themselves
Where are they from? – derives from the imaginary world that resides in everyone. The place they visit when they sleep. The monoworld
Goal – initially it was to keep being an artist but she finds out how alone she’s felt this entire time
Conflict – her sister acts unsupportive therefore she thinks she’s a threat to her goal
Obstacles – the main fight where she fights to prove herself
Resolution – realising her sister wasn’t trying to hurt her in the end they work together to fend off the true enemies
My sister
Strengths – hypercritical, attack with high strength
Weakness – attacks with no defence, frail on the inside, people pleaser
Power – to continuously attack with no end
Fight or flight – won’t fight unless they are in danger and then they go all out
Where are they from? – derives from the imaginary world that resides in everyone. The place they visit when they sleep. The monoworld
Goal – initially it was to prove to all the adults that she can do anything but it ends up wanting to do something more something creative and reconnect with her inner child
Conflict – cracking under the pressure of perfection she lashes out on the younger feeling like her efforts are not appreciated
Obstacles – she will initiate the fight being oppressive since winning shows her resolve and strength in her beliefs
Resolution – sees her sister in danger shows her how vulnerable she is, seeing herself in her struggle she helps her out and ends up working as a team to fend off the true enemies.

Achievements
Misunderstanding
She wanted to be independent
I wanted to be dependent on her
When you’re back in a corner
You’re tired and fall down
About to be attacked but i put a shield at my expense
You seem surprised but this helps you gain enough strength to fight with me
And when the dust settles we smile and I say I love you pops up on the screen
9th of March 2024
When I am defending my sister
It flashes back to the past when she defends me
Her eyes shine and in them see me vulnerable and in need of help
She goes to help me and pushes the enemies back. I fall down on my knee to let her jump over and kill the enemy
Enemy fuses into one to attack us
13th of March 2024
Something they both want
Something in the form of a medal is what we want,
We snatch for it, every time a person gets the item it changes into something they want e.g a key/pen
Snatch it back and forth before it breaks in half,
We snatch our halves only to gain so little from it. The monsters arrives from the rubble and we fight off with the little power we have,
Realising there is no way we could fend this off we decide to re unite the pieces. It becomes a massive key, both holding it we blast the monsters away. The sun comes up and we smile at each other finally uniting as one
At the beginning it could be competitive, could be trying to get something first, but breaking it makes it unwanted
8th of April 2024
The final piece to their souls they fight for it, when they place it in themselves it creates things they want, then it shatters picking up the pieces they share the broken pieces to complete themselves whole. A beam comes out to create the seal plushie.
Trapped in the bubble it bursts leaving them hurt. Seeing sister hurt she realises her sister matters more. Running to her aid she creates another forcefield. With their combined powers are able to push the creatures away
14th of April 2024
Monster tries to eat ka, pushes it away. I decide to run for her rescue and create the forcefield.
21st of April 2024
I create a monster. It attacks us, you me out of the way to save me get attacked real bad
In a moment of hesitation I look at the jewel as a bad thing. But as i look up to see you in trouble, i decide to come save you from the next attack
Aka make a forcefield
I can look down at the jewel and crack it to simulate SH but stop to realise its not helping the situation
24th of April 2024
When I kick my sister away, a photo flies out and I am unsure which to choose. Later when my sister gives me the stone I give her the photo for it, at this point it has a small tear.
Later when she gets attacked the photo gets ripped out and falls in front of me ripped right in half.
