I have this secret dream that if my book ever gets published, there’s gonna be a huge Lorcan fan base with memes and fanart galore bahahaha
LOL, SAME! I feel like the two universal writer dreams are a fanbase of people who love the books enough to make memes, fanart, and headcanons, and maybe to have a movie adaption XD (Though movie adaptations seem to go wrong more often than they go right XD)
I think Liorah is a pretty cool character too, she’s spunky and doesn’t let anyone undermine her XD
Thanks! That’s a result of Liorah’s extensive childhood trauma!😀 XD LOL, no really. She grew up in an environment where she was ignored if she didn’t demand attention, so she does that a lot. She has this tendency to prefer even negative attention over being ignored, which is why she’s so loud, sassy, and bossy.
And if she wasn’t ignored she was criticized and compared to her (practically perfect) older brother.
On that note, I realized something really interesting about Liorah while I was rewriting book 1! She does this thing where she assesses all her abilities by comparing herself to Gavril (her older brother). It seems completely normal to her, but I just realized it’s ingrained in her and she does it with everything, constantly. It’s actually kinda messed up because every time she does something she thinks about how Gavril does it better. (Which isn’t really reliable since she also idealizes him XD)
And Gav is just suffering imposter syndrome, trying to fill a role too hard for him, and trying to prove himself in the background XD My characters are so incredibly messed up XD Sometimes I wonder what my characters would be like if they were happy XD
oh yes do try, it would be interesting to see how well they would get on if she wasn’t so mean. I think the poor guy is totally worn out from all the crap he gets from her hehe. But I do love their dynamic, she’s like his nightmare nemesis.
LOL, yes! It’s going to be hard to stop her since she’s actually kinda enjoying it (Mean little brat XD) I think the reason they clash so much is that they both have strong personalities and don’t want to back down.XD
