      Hmmmmm…you’re really giving me something to think about XD

      Lol something to think about was my intention, I hope you didn’t mind me randomly saying all that XD

      The Bois’ father does have his moments of love, showing the old him that kinda faded after his first wife left, and it is POSSIBLE that he may have at least a semi-redemption arc in a later book bc of that. (now Frida…idk, she’s kinda always been that way…but idk, maybe that’ll change with some more development, idk tho)

      Yeah… Frida. She really makes a lot of sense to me, because her being a stepmother… it seems like she would be more likely to give her children preference and not care about the others. Not that her behavior is ok (lol obviously) but she makes sense as a character.

      Riker’s father, sadly, is also drunk much of the time, which also makes him not think clearly…and he’s also doing what his father before him did, and idk…Franz has always (sadly) treated Riker as nothing more than a mistake…although I may have a small explanation for that…hehe…something that was based on an old idea that I actually just recently thought of changing up, if you wanted to hear about it.

      Sure, I’d love to hear about it! 🙂

      I know it happens differently for everyone, but I’d find it interesting to find out what he is like when he is not drunk. Even parents who think they have a failure still show love sometimes, even if it’s in confusing ways, just something to explore if you want to.

       

      either way, you’ve given me a lot to think about! thx, discussions like these always inspire me to work harder at my writing!!

      Yw! I felt kinda bad after I posted it 🤣 I wasn’t sure if you wanted a random thoughts dump on your wip XD

        I don’t mind at all!!! 😄<3

        Yeahhh…that’s her…😐 plus there’s just that whole “hate them bc they’re Jews” thing against The Bois that was wayyy too common in WWII Nazi Germany…which doesn’t help matters. Glad she makes sense…sometimes I think she may seem mean just to be that way to readers, heh 😅

        Ok, I’ll share about it in a sec!!

        Hmmmm…I’m gonna have to think about that! XD

        Ok…so I had this idea a long time ago that I recently changed (like, mostly today…lol!), and thinking about including.

        It’s something neither Riker nor Angelina know about…but it’s this:

        Franz&Jennie (Riker’s parents) had their first child, a son, when Franz was 18 and Jennie was 16 in 1908. Franz was exempted from WWI due to the fact that he worked a necessary job in a factory and was thus still around his wife and son quite often, and though he still drank, he wasn’t as much of a drunk at that point. They both loved their son Nolan deeply, and when Nolan was 7, Jennie and Franz got the exciting news that Jennie was pregnant again.

        Nolan was excited about the prospect of being an older brother, and both Jennie and Franz were excited about having another child, and were happy to soon become parents of two.

        But tragedy struck when Jennie was 7 months pregnant. Sickness hit their family…and though Franz and Jennie survived, the disease took their Nolan from them.

        2 months later, still both struggling with the greif of losing their precious Nolan, Jennie had Riker. Seeing Riker as God’s gift to their family after the loss of Nolan, Jennie cherished the child…but Franz, still grieving his lost son, slipped into alcoholism, and he never thought Riker lived up to the expectations Franz had for Nolan, the son he lost…so to him, Riker never measured up.

         

        so yeahhh, what do you think?

        Riker doesn’t even figure any of this out until the 2nd book 😅🥺😭

        Yw! I felt kinda bad after I posted it 🤣 I wasn’t sure if you wanted a random thoughts dump on your wip XD

        Aww, don’t feel bad at all!! I like it when people give me more things to think about 😉

          @anyone who cares

          I watched the two Spiderverse films this weekend…..

          That cliffhanger on the second one annoys me to no end!! But it was a great movie besides that, and I think they actually did the cliffhanger really well story-wise. It makes you want the producers to finish faster. The animations are awesome, too. It’s one of my dad’s favorite movies. My mom thinks it’s lame, but she feels that way about a lot of animated sci-fi lol.

          The soundtrack is also totally sick. Just don’t listen to Spot Holes (or anything that incorporates it) on headphones. You have been warned.

          Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.

            @freedomwriter76

            I really like that idea! It kinda adds another layer to his dad, I would roll with it if I were you! (I mean if it works with the rest of the story)

            Also I just visited a college where we live that has a design program, and it was really interesting! It’s a branch of a larger one out of town. It’s just in a normal business building, and has like none of the things a normal college would (like cafeteria ect) it’s just design classrooms. Anyways, obviously there’s going to be no parties in a place like that so it seems like a good prospect!

              @keilah-h

              IKR? I agree with like everything you said, except how does your mom think it’s lame? XD

              Self love is my current favorite out of the soundtrack, but I like Mona Lisa too. what about you?

              Oh yeah, spot holes is super eerie.

                  @mineralizedwritings She was too confused and thinks the movie dragged on a bit.

                  Um…let’s see…my favorite? IDK. I’ll have to keep listening.

                  Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.

                    @mineralizedwritings tysm! 💖 That’s what I thought too…definitely gives Franz a bit more depth 😉

                     

                    OOH, that sounds really cool!!! That would definitely be great! I’m glad you have something like that available for you as a possible option 😊

                            I MUST share a couple of boards I’ve made in the time when pics weren’t working again, lol XD

                            These two aesthetics I’m about to share are for Leon/Riker by the time of the Vietnam War in my WIP Still Good (neither of them are POV charries, but still important in the story 😉)

                            First, Leon!!!
