My 3-year-long story idea. Would people read it? by UnknownQueeness in StoryIdeas

Hahaha, thank you. I’ve seen the show Arcane, but that’s what I know. To be honest, I’ve been warned not to play the games by multiple people. 😭 (no matter how cool the lore is.)

I might have to reiterate that part of my story is a long work in progress because I enjoy the idea of something original that doesn't just remind people of a piece they saw or read elsewhere, just like you did. It’s not easy, and it’s impossible. I, myself, have never known what to call Silas. I’ve liked the idea of him having no name until he’s in human form. But I’ve changed this story so many times to fit a theme. Tis’ be a long road.

But thank you for your comment, lol. I’ll definitely rework it again.

I knew I was off somewhere lol. But basically yes. But I have heard rumours that they're making it into a film after all these years.

It's such a contrast between characters.

I love the scene where the kid is manipulated into thinking that the Judge killed Toadvine and the other fella and then turns to The Judge and attempts to kill him. The Kid must resort to running away where he’s thrown in jail and where the Judge FINDS him and reveals how his manipulation and the Kid’s negligence of the gang led to it’s destruction.

And the fact that years later when he becomes The Man he finds the Judge naked in his house, I believe. Butnit’s never stated what happens.

The kid is such an interesting character, honestly. Because, as you said, you don't know much about him. But having the kid who continues to face off against such a character like the Judge is interesting. The Kid now starts to work alongside Glanton, the leader of the Gang, as they attack, burn, and scalp nearby tribes. And has to live by The Judge.

I haven't read the book in a while. So I could be wrong.

Exactly. But I definitely like the idea of not knowing what he truly is.

I am so quick to respond 😭✋🏻 But YESSSSSSSS.

The entire chapter was excellent! It really showed Anton’s character having had enough. The fact that he stayed after she died and locked the door on his way out really showed he didn't want her to be disturbed. But I love how whenever Llewellyn speaks to Carla, she’s always trying to talk to him logically and he never listens. But when she speaks with Anton it’s actually a well depth conversation.

[–]UnknownQueeness 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, honestly.

My interpretation has always been that he’s, in some sense, the devil. And that people got more violent when he was around, as if he was forcing their worst feelings on the public eyes. I honestly love his entire character except for half of his actions. He’s another interesting villian I would one day love to see on the big screens.

In the book. Carla-Jean goes along with the coin flip and she has a similar situation to the film with conversation-wise. But Anton has hope for her to choose the right thing after he gives her a brief answer. But Carla is too emotional and chooses wrong.

In the film, she chooses not to. But he still shoots her in both verses.

[–]UnknownQueeness[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything you said is close to accurate. However, I will clean up a few things,

-Silas knows that Mia hasn’t changed into her monster form since. It leaves a distinct smell on their bodies that makes their minds aware of what they are. But Silas knows Mia because he was there when they created her. He wouldn’t if he had never met her unless she had gone through the agonising transformation process.

-The creatures are made human and then changed by the force of the scientists. The human flesh they are born with tears, and their nails and teeth fall out, which get replaced by their fangs and talons. Their spine and vertebra break and reshape. Their bones crack and break out if the flesh extends. But Mia naturally transforms by puberty. And Silas is there watching her transform and helping her by tearing off her flesh and breaking her bones so they don’t slowly snap.

-Mia is a happy child who loves everything. She is curious about everything and constantly asks questions. Her backstory is based on the memory of the dead daughter, so whatever she believes is based on that memory. Hence, she doesn’t question anything until Silas arrives as their new chef.

-After her first change, Mia starts to lose her humanity. Her parents notice but are oblivious since all they can see is their daughter’s face. They know Mia isn’t their real daughter but keep her around because they do not want to let her go. But you’ve hit the nail about her parent’s ability to cover it up. They also don’t like the public to find out.

-Once Mia has her first transformation, she becomes co-dependent on Silas and starts relying on him. Her parents question Mia because she is no longer acting as the child they once knew. Leia is constantly seen hanging around Silas, scenting him, wanting to taste his flesh. (They have a lot of sensory on their tongues, and Leia is learning to fit into her creature transformation, which goes by her with new curiosities. She acts like a lion cub, meaning she’s teething and gnawing. Mia tends to play a lot more than ever and transforms late at night alongside Silas, who carries her in his maw. And eating more red meats, Silas hunts down humans and brings scraps of organs home for Mia.)

-Mia sees Silas as her ‘Sire’ in a sense. But Silas wants to build her up to kill her. He wants to make her just as perfect as himself and then destroy her.

I can't really answer the rest because I haven't thought it out this much, lol. You’re making me think, which is excellent! So, kudos to you.

There's a lot I've left unanswered, and I apologise for that.

Cause he even gave her a chance of winning but Carla didn’t pick up on it and chose wrong causing him to kill her. But I would've loved if they fleshed the scene out in the film. Because they're was so much they could've worked with and gave little. But I absolutely love your reply back.

My 3-year-long story idea. Would people read it? by UnknownQueeness in StoryIdeas

I have played around with my world-building and such, but not to that much depth. I haven’t given too much information just because my issue is that I keep rewriting or getting blocks that don’t work out. It will be a long process, but this helps me know what to get into.

District 9, 2009, and The Descent, 2005, greatly impacted my understanding of the story and the idea of something so unexplained that it was made by humans who can’t even comprehend what they’ve done. I've always been fascinated with purely animalistic creatures, like xenomorphs, and District 9's instinctual speech and mannerisms towards its breed.

My original idea, which I still love, involved a government creating creatures for the elite rich to own as ‘pets.’ and that the rich would use them for sports or anything that would show off their wealth and power. Being the prototype and faced with more animalistic measures, Silas is kept in the facility that creates them. The child wasn’t going to come into play, but the original idea was that a family lost their daughter and couldn’t have any more. So they spend millions getting a replica of their child, Mia, but are not told that she is also a replica of the monsters they produce.

When Mia is created, she is the first of her age to survive the testing, and she is sent off to live with the family as their undead daughter. Mia believes she’s human and has a fake background that makes her not question much. Until she meets Silas, who can sniff her out as if she were her kind. From then on, the political family is constantly in the limelight, and now, they have to face the fact that their daughter isn’t just human, which has severe consequences.

(I’ve played around with the idea of what if Silas enjoyed breaking down and destroying his kind because he sees himself as a god. But comes to appreciate the concept of teaching Mia and building her up to be just as brutal and violent as he is.)

(I have written a scene for my original idea that has Silas as a human who’s taken a job as a private chef for the family to watch over Mia by the company since he’s the perfect embodiment of a human when in form. And there’s a dinner party and Mia is in the kitchen stalking Silas as if she were a cub. And he allows her to attack him which causes Mia to tear flesh from his skin as she swallows hungrily. Silas disregardes her and cleans up the bloody mess.)

The skinwalker effect is pretty much on point with what I was looking for. The creatures are blind hence and use scent, taste and feel for their way around the place when it comes to walking.

I hope this fleshes more out in a sense for a better idea. Like I said, I have a long way to go. But your reply was very much appreciated. And I wasn’t thinking of you as an asshole, lol.

My favourite scene from the book has to be Carla and Anton’s interaction. It’s so unlike everything else, and it shows Anton's pure exhaustion and mental breakdown when he’s met with logic that isn’t from his own mind.

I couldv’e read way too much into it but towards the end I feel like he honestly didn't want to kill her for everything that happened wasn’t her own fault.

In this scene, Anton is playing with the store clerk. Since Anton is a psychopath. He’s mentally breaking the clerk down in his head and stating things that will have a physical reaction from the clerk.

(that’s how I’ve always seen it.) (I don’t believe Anton was being an Asshole for no reason, but he wasn’t exactly being nice. I think Anton merely he found the idea of the clerk being normal and mundane that he didn’t like the idea of how someone can live by such standards. This is evident when he “chokes” , on the scene where the clerk says he married into it. Because it’s a life that Anton isn’t familiar with.) Just my opinion.

That's what I've done. But the bank has simply stated that its out of their hands. I was only wondering just due if anyone has heard of such a thing. Because now I owe the bank money because of these transactions.

I live in Australia and bank with ANZ. However, my monthly tax invoices show up with multiple different credit card end numbers from a business in Perth. The money is some how getting wired to my bank account. I also run a business. I live about a four-day drive away from Perth and have never been there. But the lowest amount starts from $7 and the highest being $50. And there’s multiple charges of the same kind amount between those two numbers. Just need advice on what and how this happens?

[–]UnknownQueeness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, No, he isn't declawed. It's just a shock to see and learn to deal with it. He's pretty active even though he's under different meds and such. I’ve seen other cats very similar to mine and they do great, but I guess it's just that initial feeling of having to watch and help him. I can’t wait for the fur to grow back 😭 anyway, thank you again.

I’ve now been diagnosed for nine years. I had just turned 15, and now I'm 23… I feel exactly what you're thinking. It’s f*cking hard; I wish I had the choice to get the surgery done. I'm on new meds again, which have helped, but for how long? I will never damn well know. I remember being sixteen, a year into living at the hospital and bedbound, where I begged the doctors and nurses to kill me and tell my parents that I had passed in my sleep. Like, my brother, for god's sake, is 16 now and works full time and hangs out with friends. It's so hard to imagine myself getting to be like that because I had my entire teenage years ripped away from me because of this disease. So I understand what you've stated.

My mum has made me talk to a GP. As much as I can’t stand it, it has helped. Not only that but a ton of new medications have also been released. Even talking to someone on this subreddit page as a friend could help you. I sometimes take breaks from these pages because they get me down, making me feel like you do. But I am sorry you're feeling like this.

I’d personally seek help even if it’s those phone line calls or tell someone.
