freedom

Maybe Leon and Riker (prob esp Leon) while in the USA have both been avoiding people, places, things, etc. that trigger their PTSD, but with the return to Germany it brings a lot of things back and they both have to work through those things that yeah, haven’t healed yet

But both of my Boys are stubborn and don’t like to admit where they’re…[Read more]

I really do understand what you mean about external conflict though

Def the 1st book had the conflict with all of the war things, all of the antagonists, resistance, etc

The 2nd book has external conflict mostly involving tension between people, alcoholism (for Leon), fights, acted upon hatred, etc

Like how in the second book,…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle I’ve actually heard a lot of authors say internal is harder, and I don’t understand it 😂 External is sooooo much harder for me. It wasn’t as hard in the 1st book, but Hans was a huge contributor to that

@whalekeeper

lol, you’re good. Ik you don’t know my book as well, so you’re fine XD Def noted what you said about external…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle Oh my goodness!!!! 😍😍 I love him!!!!!!!!! Ty so much!!! <3

@whalekeeper

Mmmmm

 
Aragorn from Lord of the Rings is currently stuck in my head 😂👀
You could draw him if you wanted

Or I can pick one of my charries. But Aragorn is 💯 stuck in my head rn😂

Long story short, External conflict is not my forte. I much more prefer internal conflict😂

@whalekeeper Ty for the ideas, girlie 💖

The ideas for Leon are def more for his 2nd book

Tho he still struggles with grief, remaining pain, and still his PTSD (Riker also still wrestles with PTSD, both from the camp and from his abused childhood🫠😅), he’s left the vengeance behind, leaving the men that harmed him in God’s hands

and as for Riker,…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle Yw! 💖

and of course. How could I not use the Riker you drew as my new pfp?🥰🥰

@ellette-giselle

the guy on the right (D) of this image is wearing an outfit similar to what I imagine for Leon, just different colors, but it’s black and white, so😂

@ellette-giselle Yep, he’s Jewish married to a German woman👀

and I absolutely understand. facial hair is hard!!! Hang on. Lemme see if I can get a couple references for his beard

Ok, so kinda a beard like this👇

give me a couple mins and I’ll send a description

@whalekeeper You’re fine. Totally understand <3 Take all the time you need! 💖

Okay cool! I’ve known about the internal conflict, since you focus a lot on those two struggles in your posted scenes. What about the physical conflict/action they’re dealing with? Like what are they doing in Germany/USA? Is there some antagonistic force they work aga…
