Alexander McQueen's runway inspires my inner fantasy costume nerd. This dress design is the picspration for the Angel's second dress.
The Game Is The Game
So when I first wrote Lux I wrote it knowing that Seraphina and Paris were destined for one another. . . and that Sera wanted to stop it.Remember in Lux when Isobel is about to get shot and Seraphina takes the bullet for her
“Demon”, her voice a fading whisper, “You know why I threw myself on Isobel Charter ?”
I held onto to her final words to Isobel.
“I told the Prince, Angels have a good sense for things like this. He needs you”
Love.
What Sera really mean is she wants to die because Paris needs Isobel, not someone as messed up as her.
Angels have a good sense for love.
Sera's Backstory
Sera's backstroy was supposed to be in Lux. Her backstory being she killed a Demon who took quarters in her house as a child. I wanted it to go in Chapter 12 of LA but she was supposed to be dying and it seemed unrealistic for her to have time to say all that, talk about her wings and for Paris to figure out she was the one who blinded Ashe.Seraphina/Paris' Dream
There is a slight kind of abstract hint that Seraphina knew about Paris' dreamSera says this in Chapter 2 of Bellum I
. . .I remember being a girl and hiding by a stream that seemed alive with music and nymphs ?”, She brushes back her hair.
Then in Paris' Dream
The Angel looks in awe at the stream, closing its eyes to hear the sound of nymphs whispering and laughing in the grove.
I thought someone would remember this because. . . I don't mention nymphs very often.
Picspirations
I found some more picspiration including one for Titus. Those arms. |
This photoset featuring a Sports Illustrated model and Footballer/Model illustrated the power shows the struggle between Sera and Paris to me. Interesting to note the guy is the nude one in this photoset.

Chapter 12 and 13
Oh, Lile. Chapter 13. Chapter 13 gave me chills
ReplyDeleteYeah, okay sure but would it really take 10,000 years to break that glass ? I mean in The Shawshank Redemption it took dude like 3 years to dig out of there with a spoon.
DeleteSure, EV that movie totally wasn't inspired by your life
Delete*huge sigh of relief* This post came so soon after the last one that I totally thought chapter 12 was the last one and chapter 13 was an epilogue. I was freaking out !
ReplyDeleteI promise I won't sneak attack it in there.
DeleteI love that picture of the guy pulling the woman out of the water. It fits the scene from last chapter perfectly.
ReplyDeleteOr is she pulling him in ? eh? eh?
DeleteHmmm, I see what you did there.
DeleteThe tattoos on that super hot guy are breathtaking. Do you think any of the Demons have tattoos ?
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting. I will think on this. Ideas are coming to me. Although Sera does have two tattoos on her back.
DeleteWhy didn’t Hmjeu just train Paris ? Why did he have to train Sera ? I mean he had like 10,000 years to get him prepared.
ReplyDeleteHe wants to use Sera to protect Paris. He believes that Paris needs to focus on being a leader in the off chance he becomes an actual Prince again. Which is why he keeps Paris so sheltered.. The more I think of Hmjeu and what he was like. . . the more I realize he was an antagonist and not a great person. Also Paris' personality doesn't lend well to self-defense as he is a pacificst.
Delete^^
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which, I think that is why I can't get behind Parisobel...he's sooo much older than her.
It's just 5 years. IDK, I'm 7 years younger than my SO.
DeleteThis Angel /Demon storyline is breaking my heart. I just knew chapter 11 couldn't be the end. Let's hope chapter 13 isn't either y/y ?
ReplyDeleteI would have put THE END. Or END OF SECTION II
DeleteParis can’t do much, be he can sneak into a Broadway Theatre Show without a ticket….that’s impressive.
ReplyDeleteWell, it is a matinee
DeleteYep, it's also an Old Spanish Opera in Spanish. The thinking here is he is dressed so nice people think he's an usher. LOL
DeleteOooh, Paris is getting a little Alpha Male.
ReplyDeleteGlad you caught that
DeleteHmm, so if The Tempest is killed by fire...maybe they need to burn Helios. And then play that Elle Goulding song.
ReplyDeleteBURN !
DeleteWe need to invent something called the Lile Comeback where like some small comment that seems like it could be taken one way actually ends up meaning something different 10 chapters down the road. I literally NEVER see them coming.
ReplyDeleteWhich is why I’m not convinced Sera is going to die. There must be something more going on in the last sentence of chapter 12.
DeleteHeidi - a comment made by me or in the serial ? Did I do this here, I know I do that alot.
DeleteYeah, paying $32 an hour for parking is crazy...yeah. (although Lile has totally invented a new makeout spot)
ReplyDelete@NYCBarista and @SHV
DeleteOkay, SHV somewhere in some comment string Me (or Hope_Floats) said something and she mentioned the garage scene. This was said scene. Originally it was in Boston in an SUV.
In the dream / fable storyline are the demons fated to hell no matter what they do ?
ReplyDeleteOr like maybe is there a reverse place where the Angels are on the bottom and Demons are on top ?
Don't give to much credence to what I say I may have an epiphany about this later but I think that they are fated that way no matter what. The question is do they have to stay that way ?
DeleteI know what you are thinking : LiLe, stop writing about the afterlife.
Okay, so unpopular opinion but I like Paris without Sera. He is talking to his Brothers more and they seem to be with him. He has Jona and Ashe, who are clearly loyal because they kept his secret.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the few times we get a sense of Paris without any Girl Friday
DeleteMaybe Leon and Sera are planning some kind of overthrow...I bet they could manage it.
ReplyDeleteI bet they could . . .
DeleteThese chapters are like pulling hairs...I need it all at once! Do you think PLT will be posted in big chunks since you plan to be so far ahead?
ReplyDeleteIDK. So it is also a two part story. Just so we can catch up with the characters. Um, I'm not sure. I think big chunks work for the first section I don't know about the second section cause I haven't started it yet . . .
Delete@Lile - Oh, I meant that he is 5 years older than her plus like 5,000 years.
ReplyDeleteOh, he's only 1008 years old
DeleteOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOoooooooooooooooo....Lile has an SO
ReplyDelete@Lile- Oh, I just meant that when Paris says he never sees Sera again he doesn't necessarily mean she died.
ReplyDeleteDoes it ? Is it ? Does it ?
