| April does this to Cil's shirt |
Chapter 7
Chapter 7 was my favorite chapter. I had no idea what I was doing but when I heard the Keri Hilson song I got crunk (am I using that right ?) and I wanted my characters to be to. They are teenagers on summer vacation and while I orginally wanted this to have a Dirty Dancing feel (so yes, Cillian meeting a rich girl minus all the paranormal elements was an idea) it just turned out more modern than that.
Ring my Bellum
I have so many puns for this tiltle.
I had lost all hope for this mess of words but I found some great picspiations ! I see this story as having 1 major storyline and two small side stories happening at once. No, Eric does not get a storyline but he gets what I think is a pretty big part.
A TDOLL BREAK ? MAYBE ??
So, after this chapter we'll be taking a slight T-DOLL break.. . . maybe. I'm still working on plotting and bridging a few chapters so I'll take some time to reflect. I'm going back in the trenches but I feel inspired about it thanks to my playlist. . . I think.
PLAYLIST
+1+ Your Song by Elle Goulding (have I used this ?)
+2+ Lose Yourself - Eminem
Chapter 8
After April puts an entire party to sleep, she and Ty have it out. Now without a place to stay April moves in with Cillian. Of course Cillian has made a bargain with Ty to learn April's real name. Now he is realizing there might be something else to this new friendship. . .
I feel like I could read Cillian and April all day, she just has a personality that is addicting to read. She reminds me a little bit of Clara with less privilege and a purpose. I think one of things April has to learn is that not everything people are afraid of is in their nightmares.
ReplyDeleteAnd Sorry, Lile I’m stealing that Ellie Goulding song, it’s beautiful !
Oh and good luck in the trenches ! I'll bring the wine and Imagine Dragons
DeleteThe trenches have never looked so good.
DeleteAlso, SH did you notice April's favorite music genre is Adult Alternative i.e Imagine Dragons !
DeleteYay, more TDOLL ! As much as I need Bellum (which I totally do) I kind of like the bits of humor we get from TDOLLs and NAF.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am getting better at this humor thing. I don't think anything was every funny in SA. . . like ever.
DeleteIs April wearing a romper in that first part ? I think they are kinda meh, but something tells me she can pull it off.
ReplyDeleteYes ! I'm glad you caught that. Cillian is a guy he wouldn't know what one is.

ReplyDeleteFor fucksake
This is super random, but did you have to look up if it was either fucksake, fuck’s sake, fuck sake or fucksake ?
I went with autocorrect on this one. This is more like Sonuvabitch because it's actually fuck's sake or for fuck's sake. Fun with cursing.
DeleteI love this playlist ! Who can we expect in the future ?
ReplyDeleteFlorence + The Machine and some early 2000's alternative.
DeleteSo, what’s with the bug thing ? Is he really afraid of bugs or is it really a metaphor...
ReplyDeleteHe really is afraid of bugs. It's also kind of a metaphor.
DeleteThat shirt thing is so cute, I wanna try it ! Too bad my BF is like a skinny hipster so I can’t...I mean I could make a bandeu I guess.
ReplyDeleteMy SO doesn't even have flannel ):
DeleteSo, is Cillian’s stepdad a blackjack dealer too ?
ReplyDeleteI feel like it's mentioned somewhere or maybe I said it in a comment but I think I said he owns a chain of gas stations.
Delete
ReplyDeleteWow, never thought I’d see Eminem in a Lile serial all things considered.
I feel like I've used one other song. I did I used his song with Rhianna (Love the way you lie) in DSI.
DeleteNo, Lile you are not using Krunk write. Damn, this is worse than that whole Start Wars thing.
ReplyDeleteAnd how many trips did you take to Reno for “research”
What Star Wars thing ?
DeleteSo, is the plan to have Bellum all written out before it’s posted ?
ReplyDeleteNo, although that would be nice. I just have giant chunks that need something to connect them. It's trudging along.
DeleteHow did I not bring up Dirty Dancing ! I totally get that feel, but with less overt classism.
ReplyDeleteCan I put a song request in for Hungry Eyes then ?
DeleteI tried it but the song doesn't really fit a scene. I'll try again.
DeleteThat Eminiem song is just the most get revved up song ever. *adds to gym playlist*
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteShe taste like Vodka and blood. Well she taste like vodka I taste like blood.
IDK why, but I love this line.
Was the song Weather Storm in this chapter ? I see it in the playlist on Spotify.
ReplyDelete
DeleteI thought it went with the first part...it sounds soap opery. I also love that the album is called Classical Chillout and the cover art
Oops, that was a mistake.
Delete
ReplyDeleteDid you consider making a drifter character ? I feel like we hear alot about them, but never actually see them.
Lydia (the red head friend of Tirney and Thistle) did have a speaking part, but I never considered making them characters.
DeleteYay, Word of God has made Cil a thing !
ReplyDeleteYou guys did it and it looked like fun.
DeleteI am in love with the fact that they call each other Big Guy and Princess...like Tomfia’s ‘love’ may have to GTFO.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad. Although I purposely didn't capitalize them because the names are more terms of endearments than nicknames.
DeleteHmmm...Is there a reason there aren't any guys in the faerie stories ?
ReplyDeleteThere aren't male Fae. The male equivlant would really be Dwarfs or Elves but I didn't want to poke to much into that lore.
DeleteOriginally April mentions this to Cillian after he sleeps with her but it seemed out of place.
"Couldn’t you just pick someone your own size ?”, I say half joking.
She looks confused by the question and continues looking around the cabin. . ..
She is confused because they don't have male fae.
“Sometimes”, I start and feel embarrassed, “I don’t know. I think about training in MMA”,
ReplyDeleteI can’t really look at her when I say it because it’s just a stupid idea. I hadn’t even told my mom or anyone about it. I don't know. . . the money, the glory the girls it seemed kind of cool.
“Yeah, I can see that”, she looks down at her nails, “You’ve got the face for it.”
Is this a dig ? Don't MMA fighters get their faces really beat up ?
No, they are just usually good lookin'. She's saying he is hot enough to be on a billboard.
