Spotify Glitch
It seems glitch in my Spotify playlist turned all my Katy Perry song into Teenagee Dream, when the song was supposed to be E.T . I used it from the Blessed Hearts trailer. It's so hard to find a good cover of E.T I'm suprised no one commented on what an odd choice it was when Teenage Dream showed up in the playlist . . .
In Which I steal More From Vice
There is a line from Vice/Veritas that shows up here. I just realized it. . . it's minor but I wonder if you can spot it. I believe it's something that Jean says ?
Speaking of Vice
For some reason when I was writing Paris going to met with Helios, the enigmatic and untouchable killer who wants to use him, I started to feel like I could write SV's Noir/Assassin CyberPunk hybrid. It wasn't until later that I realized Helios taking a picture of the victims (which is stupid because. . . NSA) is just like in The Place They Call The End Of The World
I get a little more Vice-y in Chapter 1 of Bellum II but then I try to be. . . you know. . . original.
Chapter 12 Playlist.
+1+ Dark Horse - Katy Perry
+2+ Burn - Elle Goulding
+3+ Right Thing - Rose
+4+ Nara - E.S Posthums
+5+ Blurred Lines - Robin Thicke (Go with me here)
Helios has given Seraphina one order. Kill Paris Prince.
Chapter 12
Um, Wow. That was hot. That is all.
ReplyDelete*fans self*
funny you mention that
Delete
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhhhh ! This chapter was just brilliant. I have to admit this as a big LiLe fan and the runner of the forums I was ashamed to say...I did not like Lux at first. But, now I don’t want it to ever end and I think it’s seriously my favorite serial
Can't wait for the other parts!
Thanks, I go back and forth weather I like it to. I wish I had waited and NAF had been my "comeback" piece.
Delete
ReplyDeleteRing, ring, ring ! I haven’t read yet...but I’m guessing a HelioSera wedding.
*reads*
Okay, nope I was way,way way off ! Love Peraphina
This image is a reference to the engagement ring Paris gave Isobel.
Delete
ReplyDeleteIDK what that term is (is scared of urban dictionary) for guys who do the same girl, but I think it’s kind of weird that Helios and Paris are that.
Oh, I never thought of it this way.
Delete
ReplyDeleteSo,um...are we getting JNRR T-DOLL in the mean time or…..
Yes/No maybe. There is so much less to snark about. I have it partially done but it's not as . . . funny.
Delete
ReplyDeleteI admit I re-read Lux, but it’s mostly for the makeout scene.
. . . me too
DeleteI noticed the music goof, but after reading the chapter I pretty much assumed ET was the right choice since it went with the scene better.
ReplyDelete*is embarrassed.*
DeleteSo, the different parts are just going to be like Vol. II, Vol III, Vol. IV and not have names ?
ReplyDeleteOoooh, like Bellum: Expulsion
DeleteNo. Becuase it's all the same story. I just broke it down so I could better follow the story. Think of it more as like the NAF gap.
DeleteOr like the colored chapters in United Light
DeleteSomething tells me that Jona is going to be impossible to live with after finding out about Pariphina
ReplyDeleteHe's is going to see his brother differently.
DeleteI’d like to think Helios has the NSA on his payroll
ReplyDeleteOh, good point
DeleteI feel like "so fucking beautiful" was something Jean says alot. I think you mention something about it being his catchphrase. . . or maybe it was a comment. IDK
ReplyDeleteIDK...I kind of like Helios ?
ReplyDelete. . . me too. He gets a lot more "real" in the next chapters.
Delete
ReplyDeleteWho would have thought there’d be so much Katy Perry in Bellum ? Can we aim for the entire Prism album ?
I think this is the last Katy Perry song.
Delete
ReplyDeleteDamien smokes too ? It is so crazy to me he is a doctor. I love Damien
Damien needs to just be in every scene, just interjecting and calling Paris out. I was waiting for him to say something during the signing.
DeleteYes, Damien is a doctor who smoke. . . pot. I wrote a scene for section three where he is smoking weed and it just. . . stuck.
DeleteWhen I think of Paris falling all I can think of is Sherlock falling. I'm glad we atleast know how Paris survived.
ReplyDeleteParis is not human. . . I wonder what Sherlock's excuse is.
DeleteThen I run like a bat out of hell.
ReplyDeleteOh. I see what you did there.
I do this alot.
DeleteParis and his epic failness. He literally ran into a wall. Literally.
ReplyDeleteHe hit a brick wall. Bada-dish
Delete
ReplyDeleteIn the Lux world is there a connection between true love and true lust ? I just feel like in some ways it’s like Paris’ didn’t love Isobel enough to have sex with her. But with Sera it’s fine because he loves her. Even though his nature tells him being with an Angel is wrong. Does that make sense ? Just thoughts.
It's not nature that's telling him its wrong. . .its nurture. Although I guess you could argue not being able to procreate means it's wrong. Which goes into so many other things.
DeleteThe real fight is between the person you choose to love and the one you are destined to. Which reigns ?
Are you going to explain why his boxers are orange ? Because that felt oddly specific
ReplyDelete*few seconds later*
Oh, you did. I’m going to need pics now (;
Google-fu. I will not be held responsible for what comes up. I know I must have seen these on Tumblr.
DeleteI found the Helios and Sera random f*cking kind of annoying, but I’d be so fine with Peraphina doing it all night long.
ReplyDeleteWell it was "almost dark" at the start of the chapter then 4 am at the end, so . . .
Delete
ReplyDeleteYou know, I kind of see Hippolyta’s death as an more interesting take on being stuffed in a refrigerator.
I can see this Hippolyta's death also serves as a cautionary tale. Seraphina is really using her death as an excuse to make the change. She is also worried about Ariel and she is pissed about Ares too.
Delete
ReplyDeleteI’d really like the sex scene from Sera’s point of view. Like… is it like a popsicle ? Is that better or worse ?
And yeah, Paraphina is waaay better ship!name !
Um.... we probably won't get that. I can't imagine how that would go. Things are all very room-temperature. . . in those areas, because it's just their skin that is hot/cold.
Delete
ReplyDeleteBoy, I hope that no procreation between Angels/Demons thing holds up.
Or we have a Renesme issue on our hands
DeleteIt holds up. I promise this time.
Delete
ReplyDeleteIn section 3 are they in the missionary position ? I’m spatially compromised sometimes in writing...I can’t always tell where people are.
Yes, put not the traditional one. He is sitting back on his ankles for. . .leverage.
DeleteSo,I think we can agree, this was brilliant and I can’t believe how much we’ve gotten so quickly...you guys do realize this is a 50 comment post, right ? Or close to it.
ReplyDeleteDoes that count me getting an early start
DeleteIsobel who ? SeraParis, ahem, Pariphina All the way ! My favorite thing about her is she can be sexy and everything even though she is tall and built tough. Paris doesn’t have to femenizer her to make her hotter.
ReplyDeleteYes, I really want to get into this more because while she is physically fit she isn't super slim and her body has more of a masculine tone. Although I think he would prefer her to be a little shorter.
Delete
ReplyDeleteWait, why was Ashe coming to his room anyway ? Did I spot something ?
No. Paris wished it was Ashe (cause he's blind). I was originally going to do a fake-out, and make you think it was Ashe. I took it out but I still wanted to keep the line in.
Delete
ReplyDeleteOh, God what if this was all a set tup and Helios pops out up with a video camera.
Please tell me this version is in the vault somewhere.
I'll think on it. I thought this line might ruin the mood, but it was something he should have considered.
DeleteOh, I get it...they have to keep clothes on because they’ll freeze, burn each other.
ReplyDeleteBTW, that Right Thing song is perfect
I'm glad you caught that. I was afraid having Seraphina almost burn herself to many times would look kinky.
DeleteI love that song. I found it on a "sensual songs" playlist. I was debating using Heart of Stone by Iko or a smexy Robin Thicke song.
I’d like to see what happened if someone told Seraphina “You the hottest bitch in this club”
ReplyDeleteOr April
Delete@ June - Well it depends who says it
Delete@ Bookworm - She'd be like "Hell, yeah" Then her boyfriend would beat the person up.
IDK, I kind of think April would love it.
ReplyDeletesee above
DeleteOkay, you guys...unpopular opininon..I’m kind of mad at Paris for cheating on Isobel. I mean atleast call her or something. It really hit me when he called Sera love.
ReplyDeleteYes, he did cheat on Isobel when he kissed Seraphina. I have no defense.
Delete
ReplyDeleteSo, we are doing the 50 post thing ? Okay, well this is off topic, but that post you did with TPTCTEOTW and introduced TDOLL is my FAVORITE post you have ever done. Not just your writing, but your attitude and devotion and willingness to put yourself out there really inspires me. Something about that post just felt like a moment or turning point in your writing.
Also, I love your humor. Also...I think we should be the judge of whether JNRR TDOLL is funny
Okay, but I don't see the gap being that long.
DeleteAnybody wonder what Paris’ repressed curosities are ? I’m guessing their super vanilla.
ReplyDeleteI wondered abut this too. . . and I wrote it. I really wanted that line in there because I didn't want him to just be awesome at the smexy in the next section. He sort of got acquainted with her and her body, and learned how to "make her eyelashes flutter"
DeleteDid I just write that ?
Delete
ReplyDeleteI love that she is wearing black to show her loyalty. Like the symbolism is amazing.
Which also means, unless the black thing he calls lingere is actually a slip, she was planning to sleep with him, knowing he was with Isobel.
DeleteSeraphina knows that he broke up with Isobel. He tells her that in Chapter 11.
DeleteShe was waring lingere because she was going to seduce him.
“She’s. . . gone you know. I came here to tell you that your prophecy. . . true love and all . . is a load of shit. I didn’t get to say that earlier on account I was drunk.”
“No, it’s not”, she said with strong conviction watching me in the mirror, “When you are fated to be with someone . . it is to hard to escape from it’s grasp."
That second part of her sentence is talking about her and Paris. In chapter 10 Paris sort of excepts the break up and says
“Hey” I whispered then turn to to see if Helios could hear. He gave no sign of it, “I think I’d like to steal a kiss from you. It'd be quite honorable now. . .of course I'm also very very drunk”
I have so many more questions than what you had. I really want to know what is going on with Seraphina and why she won't say she loves Paris. She does love him..right ?
ReplyDeletedoes she . . . .
DeleteYeah, but I meant...what did Ashe have to tell Paris so badly that he busted down the door ?
ReplyDeleteWhy did Jonah almost break down the door ?
DeleteYeah, do we know that ?
Delete
ReplyDelete@Lile - I really like that song because it was like is what they are doing is "the right thing". Because it feel right, and fate says its right, but they are both wronging Isobel.
I'm suprised how many of you are standing by Isobel after she left Paris and refused his proposal.
DeleteIt's mostly wrong because they are enemies.
I guess it's because they're on a break technically, right ? *rereads*
