and Bucky aesthetic (for fun)

@ellette-giselle @theducktator @rae @keilah-h Thanks y’all! 😁

@keilah

like in Freedom’s Fire you see him as mostly heartless and cruel, but in all the other books he is more humanized–he has a brother, he has a family, he has reasons for why he did what he did. Not that they were good reasons, mind you, but it means that it upsets you that…

(Though I guess Darrien might be panicked.)

Yeah, he’s panicked. He has no idea who Julian is, so the only reason that seems reasonable for a soldier to be here is to arrest those who were hiding him.

Again, another lie that feels wrong to me, and not just because I believe it is wrong for Christians to lie. I think it is…

(By the way, I should let you know that I’m not bothering to read the feedback others are giving you, so if anything has come up that you want more thought on, please let me know.)

Will do. It’s mostly the newest section from this morning that I’m anxious about, because the dynamics are delicate. as you will see. And I’m i…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Okay, that’s a lot of exclamation marks. You know five exclamation marks is a sure sign of madness, right? But you couldn’t settle for five, you went for six. (But who am I kidding, we’re all authors. Madness is sure to come with that.)

How dare you question my wise and perfect choice of exclamation marks! I have perfect contr…[Read more]

Wooph! Got a lot to catch up on! Let’s see how far I get before I have class…

Yeah. Sorry about that. I kinda went on an editing streak and hybridlore was encouraging it. lol.

In the part where he is watching Arron in the fountain, he puts an end to it, and I was saying he was harsh based of of that. But I forgot tha…

NEXT SECTION!!

Joseph sat at the table staring at nothing.

In the corner, Sabina was holding a sobbing Eric, and Asher was sitting beside Noah, his face pressed against him. Alicia was at the other end of the table, her hands over her face.

Darrien had a hand on Joseph’s shoulder…

@rae you–

you actually liked it??

wow.

thank you!

three months of my life weren’t wasted writing this!

My only mental note is it was pretty obvious that Spy was Huntresses and Scouts father from the point that Huntress entered his room and saw his stuff.

This is probably a relic of earlier drafts, in which Huntress figured it out while she…[Read more]

@hybridlore

I just saw this and thought of you.

@loopylin

Oh no! that is awful! I will be praying!

@hybridlore

Okay. Now your good to reply.

@hybridlore

How could you kill your FAVORITE off, Ellette??? 😢

Aaron was my very favorite character I’ve ever written.

It’s dangerous to be my favorite.

Oh, it’s been picked back up. Just slightly bent now. 😁

good. lol. (No one saw that tantrum you threw. all’s good, all’s good. lolololololol)

Cool! So… how old is Joseph in the lat…

@hybridlore

Don’t reply to the above yet.

I’m answering you again.

@hybridlore

lol. That’s great.

So because Julian and Joseph showed empathy for Adrian in that scene… will the government think they are Christians too?

Julian’s empathy is understandable. He’s trying to stop them from killing his little brother. He would have done that no matter the crime. He reacted badly enough to what Adrian said, that h…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Augh, I keep missing you!! 😅

Cool! So… how old is Joseph in the later books, if right now he’s “Young Joseph”?

@ellette-giselle

How could you kill your FAVORITE off, Ellette??? 😢

Oh, it’s been picked back up. Just slightly bent now. 😁

@hybridlore   @linus-smallprint    @koshka   @keilah-h

Here is Joseph!

(Adrian was posted at the bottom of page 8 for anyone that missed that.)

@ellette-giselle

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Lol yeah I totally read it and wondered, but then while I was reading this the only thing that I was thinking was that, “It’s probably the same Julian… right?” I did not even register that until right after, and then I was like 🤦‍♀️

So because Julian and Joseph showed empathy for Adrian in that sc…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Adrian was my favorite!

Oh no! I’m sorry he was your favorite! (He was my favorite too at this point.)

 

Your *not actual* book has been officially thrown across the room.

If you don’t pick it up again you’ll never know what happens…….. then I can’t be faulted for it being depressing, because you put it down right after…[Read more]

@hybridlore

I feel bad. I’m sorry. But then again, I’m also not. You know how that goes.

Okay, I was super stressed that you were going to find out what was going to happen because of Julian being in the RP! I’m so glad you forgot! I was thinking, “Shoot, I shouldn’t have put him in there until after this book.”

Question- how come all the other…
