In Closing . . .
As far as PLT I'm pretty much all
I was bummed I wasn't able to do Pretty Little Things on my terms
It was tempting to burn the entire thing and forget about it. . .
But the excitement around PLT was. . . comforting.
So I'll just keep going. . . because the playlist will be epic
I'm also aware the ending of Bellum II might have been leaked but let's carry on because . . .
Let's just be excited
Also I've placed a progress bar until I finish 10 chapters of PLT.
P.S What cool things do I have to do to be invited to SHV's blog ?
Chapter 8 and 9
I went back and forth about putting these chapters together because they are so similar. I think about Seraphina and Paris being in the same city during different time periods so when he finds the WWII-era photo of her that was my call to that.One point I do want to make is about Seraphina/Helios is that Sera doesn't want a physical relationship with Helios anymore, which is why she mentions to Paris that she has been drugging him.
Also this
Lol, he's not wrong (;Delete
Because I may or may not be curious to know if Sera would ever go down on Paris.
Playlist
I've been rummaging around my old S&A playlist, so you will see some older songs. I must admit ut's so odd how dated some of the songs sound. I'd also like to think I have a bit more variety now, genre wiseChapter 10
Chapter 10 Playlist
+1+ I Walk The Line - Los Lonely Boys (Bar song #1)
+2+ Lady Luck - (Oh, magic Spotify Radio)
+3+ Slow Dancing In A Burning Room - John Mayer (Oldie)
+4+ Florence + The Machine - Seven Devils (An American Fairytale Song)
Recap
With amends tied, Paris is ready to move on to the the next step with his Brothers in getting rid of Helios, with Seraphina by his side. When Helios interrupts their night together, Helios promises to tell Seraphina everything.
CHAPTER 10
LiLe,
ReplyDeleteI’m sorry PLT didn’t come out the way you wanted to and I only wish I knew what was going to happen in either one of these serials.
I know I joke about hiring hackers so we can see what happens next, but even if I did get my hands on any unreleased Lile I would show some better judgement and not spoil myself* or the way it was originally intended. I know how upset I’d be if my endings (lol, if only I knew what my endings were) got spoiled.
*Caveat: I would so send in a hacker to find what became of Spirits or ABGW.
Also who is in that winking gif and why have I been staring at it for so long ?
DeleteWhen Paris is at the 836 I want to shout “Don’t eat the pancakes, Paris !” Lol at the laminated menus.
ReplyDeleteRight ? Most strip joints have a buffet.
Delete@EV : I can't even . . .
Delete@ June - ... is there a joke about Pancakes ?

DeleteYou know I always feel like the whole "the government will think we are crazy and lock us up so we can't tell them" theory in tv/movies is kind of weak. I mean there has to be one Mulder there who would believe them.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but like how do you even tell the government things ? Just knock on the White House door ?
DeleteI'm thinking you would contact your local congressman.
DeleteI can’t believe my comment made it on the blog ! I also can’t believe I said it wrong, I meant Paris going down on Sera…
ReplyDeleteOh, well. Yes.
DeleteHelios’ plan is insane, but I live in Staten Island so... do what you have to do
ReplyDeleteEh, I do kind of feel like he could make the trains run on time. I mean they can't kill all 8 million of us..right ?
DeleteAnd I'm not saying I want to be a concubine, but I'd be down with living with a bunch of hot muscle-y dudes.
Delete@Harper I'll get to this later but Staten Island would be fine.
Delete@NYC Barista - I agree with the trains thing. I also think he would use the people left as second class citizens for him to control
@ Ashlyn - It's a good thing they are good-looking
I’m going to be that guy: I found a continuity error. When they go to Sera’s room, Ariel sees Sera shake out her hair, but then a few lines later Paris puts his fingers through her ponytail
ReplyDelete@Marianna - Good-Eye.
DeleteI added the part about her taking her hair down, as kind of an homage to the "mirror-check" girls do in movies. To show a little vulnerability.
Oh, Ashe where have you been this serial ? He is hilarious !
ReplyDeleteWait...where has Ashe been ?
Delete. . .
DeleteIs there a reason Sera wearing makeup at the club ? Did Helios not want her to ? I love that she can get a stripper without a stitch of makeup.
ReplyDeleteThis kind of gets explained later, but I'd also say she is channeling her inner low femme.
DeleteThat first song told me everything I needed to know about the kind of place Ashe and Paris were in. Are there anymore bar songs ?
ReplyDeleteYes ! I can't wait !
DeleteAshe and Paris are giving me feels...new favorite brOTP.
ReplyDeleteEspecially if you think about the song that was playing.
DeleteI know, I really liked writing them. I mean there is a small Bromance between Fierro/Emile but I've never worked the bromance angle.
DeleteWhere does the term New Aeterana refer to ? The Aeterna isn’t actually anything is it ?
ReplyDeleteSo, in Lux it's explained that the "Lux Aeterna" is the name of the symbol they where daily, as a reminder of the place they left behind. So it is a symbol. New Aeterna is a portmanteau of New York and Lux Aeterna.
DeleteHe had a running tally of every debauched place in this city, sorted by decade. I need this list… for reasons. The "sorted by decade" part made me lol.
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteSeraphina is the best cockblock. I love that Titus has no game. He's the one who looks like Chrisitan Bale, right ? Or did he not have a picspiration ?
ReplyDeleteHe didn't have one, but I found one for him I'll share. Damien was the one who looked like a young Christian Bale.
DeleteOh, you guys...Jona is totally the turncoat
ReplyDeleteI’m calling Dante
Delete. . .
DeleteWhy does Helios need to go to a strip club ? Doesn’t he have enough women around all the time.
ReplyDeleteHelios likes to treat his men and he loves attention. ALSO ALSO ALSO. Did anyone catch the super obvious Vice/Compulsion reference ?
DeleteYOU GUYS HOW HAVE NONE OF YOU TALKED ABOUT ISAIAH BEING BACK AND BEING IN CAHOOTS WITH THE ANGELS ! ! ! ! !
ReplyDeleteRight ? It's like when Isaiah comes back things get freaky !
DeleteThat whole baby angel wings being the source to make dameons makes me think about people who eat placenta...ugh, I just grossed myself out.
Delete@California_Blues - YES ! So many people saw this coming
Delete@ QAA - Indeedd
@ Heidi - Oh, dear. No this is more like stem cells. Someone actually caught on to this so good job !
The SYTYCD dance to Slow Dancing in A Burning room is my favorite off all time. Now that I re-watch it it’s kind of Litany Lane-ish….
ReplyDeleteHmmm . . . I must re=watch now. Is it the roses ?
Deletehe wast slim with pale skin and slightly long dark hair, high cheekbones and the way his black vest and shirt fit him made him appear well put together. His cheeks were red from the cold making him look a little boyish. If he were a boy I'd think he was cute, since he was a man, a technically powerful man
ReplyDeleteYou guys...I kind of see Benedict Cumberbatch as Paris…. a little.
Was it a specific choice to make the scene between Paris and Sera from Ariel's POV instead of Paris' ?
ReplyDeleteMore on this later . . .
DeleteSo does the 5% in the progress bar mean you have written 5% of a chapter or you've finished 5/10ths of the 10 chapters ?
ReplyDelete5/10 chapter are written. I'm still messing with the progress bar to set a better goal. Maybe I should do word count ?
DeleteIs that Miranda Kerr in the photo on the blog post ? That image describes Sera in the strip club scene perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI found this image later. . . but it is actually Emma Blunt, who also makes a great picsipration.
DeleteWhere was Ashe when the other Brothers were planning the coup ? Why didn't he try to stop them ?
ReplyDeleteGood Questions. Remeber Ashe wasn't there when they planned it. He was spending the weekend with a date . . . which is why he is coming home and overhears Sera and Paris in the rain in Chapter 7
DeleteAnd with this playlist I've officially made a top five playlist so far for the Lux-verse. In no particular order:
ReplyDelete- Slow Dancing in A Burning Room
- Seven Devils
- Bang Bang
- If I Had a Boat
- Replay
Yay, although caveats
DeleteSeven Devils was in American Fairytale first
If I Had A Boat - I'm pretty sure I stole from SHV.
