@jenwriter17 You like Marvel? Yes? Have you seen Infinity War?

May 23, 2018 at 5:58 pm #73074@seekjustice Haha.Β Nope, Zac is my one and only top favorite character out of both of your books. πΒ But I have a few others I like a lot.Β Lets see…
Jean. I feel like I could like Jean a lot, but don’t know him very well.Β He seems to play a very significant role in the lives of Chessy, Justice, Quillon, and Kai, as well as Dr. Manly, and yet he’s usually in the background, mentioned once or twice, but never does anything really significant that I can actually take hold of.Β I’d really like to get to know him better.
Chessy. I love her POV though I have a bit of a hard time relating to her choice clothing.Β Cargo pants are so completely not my style that I can’t comprehend someone actually preferring to wear them. πΒ I am amazed at the way you were able to portray her femininity mingled with her strength, because most of the modern books I’ve read sacrifice one for the other.Β A girl has to be strong, so she can’t be feminine, or the other way around.Β So, you did a really good job with Chessy, and I like her a lot, though I wouldn’t want to be her. π
And, you are going to think this is random, but…Stasya! πΒ Other than the fun, easy-going, handsome type, who has a thundercloud of emotions, but can be charming all the same, (Zac,) I really like the strong, rather quiet man, who probably has an interesting backstory, but is so polite and gentle that you don’t realize it, and whose very presence emanates strength and security so much that you can never be afraid in his vicinity – unless you’re the bad guy, in which case you’re terrified.Β That’s how I picture Stasya, and you may think I should know him even less than I know Jean, and I may be completely wrong about how you pictured him yourself, but that is how I think of him.
Sooo…what did you think of my picks?Β I know Chessy and Quillon are your favorite characters, but, what do you think of mine? π

May 23, 2018 at 6:00 pm #73075@seekjustice Yes, I LOVE Marvel! But sadly, no I haven’t seen Infinity War yet. So no spoilers please! π

www.jennaterese.comMay 23, 2018 at 6:03 pm #73077@jenwriter17 Hi!Β How’s it going?
(And don’t worry about talking with me, either.Β I don’t watch Marvel. π )

May 23, 2018 at 6:04 pm #73079I haven’t seen it either, but people are terrible at keeping secrets. I, however, shall keep my lips sealed.

May 23, 2018 at 6:11 pm #73080@rochellaine @seekjustice Oh good, I can expect no spoilers from both of you π
What good movies have you two seen this year?

www.jennaterese.comMay 23, 2018 at 6:14 pm #73081I love Jean too *makes note to include him more as I edit*
I wear cargo pant sort of things quite regularly, and I do like them π Chessy’s clothing choice is sort of like mine. Chessy is just generally heavily based on me, we’re both that tomboy, yet still girly, sort of person.
I’m secretly in love with Stasya too. I picture him a lot like Jonas, and yes, he does have a pretty terrible backstory, but he never talks about it, so no one ever thinks about it. π I had a lot of fun creating his character, even though he was a spur of the moment kind of thing. I like the way you describe him.
Yes, Quillon and Chessy are my favourites. But I like all of them (excepting Sean Darcy and Everett MacLachlan), so I don’t mind who your favourites are.

May 23, 2018 at 6:16 pm #73082@seekjustice @rochellaine I actually have to leave now for dinner, but I’ll be back.

www.jennaterese.comMay 23, 2018 at 6:17 pm #73083I haven’t really seen anything fantastic this year. I’ve been rewatching the Sherlock series though, and I love that. My mum saw the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (What a mouthful) movie though and she thought it was really good and we’re going to watch it together as soon as it comes out on DVD π
I also rewatched the Lord of the Rings. π

May 23, 2018 at 6:34 pm #73084@seekjustice Yes, I know Chessy is based on you, and I know that people do actually like wearing cargo pants.Β I just mean that it’s hard for me personally to understand since my own style is so different. πΒ One of my favorite parts was actually when Neva gave Chessy that skirt and Zac and Justice liked it. π But cargo pants are part of Chessy’s character, and I wouldn’t like it if they were taken away, either.
I don’t even really care if we ever find out what Stasya’s backstory is.Β It’s just easy to see that he does have one, and it’s really cool to see how he reacts to it so differently than Justice did.Β Justice shut everything off and became a harsh, too-strong, unemotional person, and then when something even worse happened he was reduced to a blubbering mess of a teenage boy.Β Stasya has potentially a much worse backstory, and yet is calm, caring, and strong.Β I was glad to see Justice break down and be more emotional, but I would hate for Stasya to change.Β Honestly, if Stasya stays as good as he is right now, and we get to know him better, I don’t know whether I’d eventually be able to choose between him and Zac.Β They’re both perfect. π
@jenwriter17 My family watched the newΒ The Case for Christ movie a few weeks ago, and that was amazing.Β I don’t watch many movies, but mostly old tv shows from the 50s-60s. π"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
May 23, 2018 at 6:59 pm #73087I think it would have been quite a novel experience for Justice and Zac to see Chess in a skirt. Though actually the scene right at the start of Stars, Chessy wears a skirt when she and Jean go to the park.
He’s just generally a nicer, more polite person than Justice is. I like Stasya alot, he’s also kind of mysterious, even to me!

www.jennaterese.comMay 23, 2018 at 10:04 pm #73094Yep, I’m editing Stars and writing Quillon and Sapphire’s first meeting. π

May 23, 2018 at 10:09 pm #73095@jenwriter17 I would be, except I’m taking care of a wild baby bunny who might be dying, upon the request of my little sister. πΒ I’m holding it in one hand as I type.
So, I can’t work on my book with only one hand available to type, but I’m willing to chat if you like. π
Oh, and now I’m reading a book to one of my other little sisters. (She’s holding it and turning the pages, since my hands are full.)
Point being, my responses might be slow… π

May 23, 2018 at 10:19 pm #73096@seekjustice yay, editing party π
@rochellaine yeah I’d love for you to stay and chat, if that’s convenient for you. sounds like you’ve got your hands full πI'm a Kapeefer 'TIL WE'RE OLD AND GREY!
