Holy cow this thing blew up into a bigger thing than I intended and I feel bad for some reason sorry :/

@ellette-giselle @jonas

But there’s a problem there. When we chose to live in sin, or even directly comit evil, there is still hope for us until death. Even the vilest of sinner can be redeemed by the blood of Christ. If you make Pythonos unredeemable, you are almost saying that the blood of Christ is not enough for them. You know? Which is why r…

Pythonos could become loyal to the Great One again…but why would they want to? They lose all ability to love or care or feel regret and are consumed by evil and the desire for power. I just don’t know how that could work without digging a hole for myself XD

@ellette-giselle

But Cass becomes a Pythonos, so there’s no redemption. At least, i can’t think of a way that he could be redeemed.

(See post above where I replied to Jonas)

NO I AM NOT KILLING ELOY NO NO NO I love him too much ahhh

Also…Cass doesn’t just get tortured.

He HELPS TORTURE THEM. So that won’t really work…

@ellette-giselle

BUT ONCE HE CONVERTS HER SHE’LL REALIZE SHE LOVES HIM I KNOW IT

and yes I know Sabina will come to her senses eventually!

I won’t lose hope. XD

@ellette-giselle

I said it was a couple posts back….XD XD I thought it was clear 😬😂😂

@jonas

Lilitu was kind of my “you’re never too far gone” person, because his parents are Jraldath and Selena! There’s going to be this epic confrontation scene where he wrestles with the knowledge that he was meant to be evil from the moment he was born. Does that work? Or do I still need Cassian?

Because that’s a good idea, but I feel like…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

it’s right above where HighScribe says “no spoilers” and right below the post where you said this:

I don’t think this was on your radar when Cass was first introduced, and in several of the early chapters. (am i right?) so, you need to show a little bit of that in him. just a teeny bit. Maybe he can’t stand it if one of hios bro…

*gasp* THAT WAY AARON AND TURIN COULD BE BROTHERS FOR REALZ

@ellette-giselle

yesss! Idk I just love her sooo much!

I am also shipping her and Aaron so if they don’t kiss at ALL during the whole book I will be sorely disappointed :/

Also have you seen Sef and Lilitu’s character arcs I posted a couple posts back? I tagged Whaley but I’d love to hear your thoughts too!!

@ellette-giselle

Ohhhh okay makes sense!

@highscribeofaetherium

That’s fair lol

@ellette-giselle

thanks!!! I’ve been having a lot of deep thoughts lately XD lol

I don’t think this was on your radar when Cass was first introduced, and in several of the early chapters. (am i right?) so, you need to show a little bit of that in him. just a teeny bit. Maybe he can’t stand it if one of hios brothers is better at him in som…

@whalekeeper

Sooo

I think I have an idea for Lilitu’s internal conflict!

I’ve been plotting a lot today, if you couldn’t tell 😂

Sef is self depricating, like you said. She’s more like “I’m stupid. I’m worthless. I’m not worthy of love.”

What I did is prayed before developing characters today and asked God to show me verses to base the…[Read more]

I’m just waiting for you to go to my WIP page and freak out XD XD

@ellette-giselle

I don’t see either, to be honest XD

I see myself in her. I love her personality and…idk, I just want to give her a hug, the poor girl 😭💔💗💗

@ellette-giselle

I love these scenes! You’re very talented, and I can see you have a passion for sharing Jesus through your writing! Keep it up!

Sabina is my favorite! 💗 (I also love her name)

@everyone

Okay.

For those of you sad and mad about Cass….

I have some spoilers.

So if you hate spoilers, LOOK AWAY

I’ve been brainstorming a lot about Cass’s character, and I have come to a decision.

Cass is a perfect example of how even strong Christians give up, how someone who appears to be a superchristian can fall and crumble under…[Read more]

@theducktator

I feel like I should have some long drawn out post since one of my first for real novels was dystopian, but it seriously needs a lot of work, so I only have one short piece of advice for you. 😉

Don’t limit your scope. A lot of times dystopia takes place in a world/country similar to America, right? Don’t tie yourself down to tha…[Read more]
