Needs Help: Oblivious To Love

So this one hurts because I love the image, but this is an unsourced fanwork that I don't think we have permission to use (source), so unless we get permission, it's probably best to find something else.

I do have a suggestion for a replacement that can probably work, which is Phineas and Isabella from Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs to You.

Giving flowers to someone is a classic romantic gesture and Phineas' clear lack of reaction to the flowers I think does a good job at showing the "oblivious" aspect.

1.1 is kind of Off-Model. It looks weird as a still. 1.2 would work with a good caption. It would be nice to get permission for the current, though.

If we can’t get permission for the current, I prefer 1.2 because it doesn’t have front-facing Phineas.

1.2 for reasons above

1.2, but maybe crop it a bit?

1.2.

1.2 if permission is not obtained for OP.

How do we go about getting permission? I'd much prefer that.

Well not sure if permission is possible as it seems the comic isn't on pixiv anymore. Also, even if it was up, we would most likely need someone that knows Japanese in order to communicate with the artist so theres that.

It's still available, the OP just added a ) to the link by accident. Chop that part off and the link works.

Sorry about that, fixed the link.

The artist speaks English and is still active, so it shouldn't be difficult to reach him and communicate with him.

Ohh, I see. I fixed the link in the OP. Well, the artist does speak English so I'll message them.

I hope the artist give us permission, I like this image. The artist is still active on Twitter, I already checked.

Their messages have been turned off on Twitter (or at least I can't message them for some reason). So, I settled for messaging the artist on Pixiv.

So, what are we gonna do until we get permission (if we get it at all)?

If we can't get permission for use the current, then 1.2

Right now we're waiting, at worst we just hide the pic and tag this on the "pics awaiting permission" thread.

1.2 if we can't get permission.

Any updates yet? If not, I'm good with 1.2.

Well the artist never replied to my message on Pixiv. They seem semi active on Twitter but as I said earlier, their messages are turned off so we can't message them there.

I suppose 1.2 is better than nothing.

I agree with the rest; we'll go with 1.2.
