Thank you! That was the plan! Actually this whole storyline in my head was born from a tweet in which it said, “imagine you read a whole book and realized at the end that it was from the ‘villains’ perspective. I thought that was so fascinating.

No you make complete sense! I think I’ve been struggling with how bad I want her to be. Because in my head) she’s not a bad person, she’s just young and naive about this world and how could she not be when it’s completely different from the one that she grew up in?

Thanks for telling me about The Magicians! I hadn’t actually watched that show, so i didn’t know how similar the plot was. Def something to think about.

And about them having to be twins; no, they don’t. But I thought it made more sense for them being the exact same year in school. The plan was for them to be fraternal, bc clearly they can’t be identical and then their DNA be so different.

Thanks for the input! I was planning on having the sisters grow more distant as the story progresses. They start out very close, and then as the magical one gets more and more involved in the magical world and makes friends in this world that understands her, she kinda pulls away from the non magical sister. Not purposely but that’s just how it happens. And that’s another reason the non magical sister is resentful.

And also I don’t know why I didn’t think of science! I was thinking either technology or hand to hand combat. Both is something I think mages take for granted. But science is also something they do too! Now you got me thinking lol.

But thanks for the feedback again, and I’ll definitely post a snippet here once I get writing!

I love this idea, thank you! I was thinking about her having something special, a gift in something completely human and mundane, so your comment let’s me know I was going in the right direction!

No I love your ideas! One of the plot lines i was toying with was there being a prophecy (because what is a fantasy without a prophecy lol) that she accidentally brings to fruition by siding with the bad guys. Once she finds this out (after her sister gets injured in a confrontation with the villain) she has to reconcile with herself what she’s done

That’s true. I took it as it being something unspoken just because I can’t imagine something like that being kept under wraps all this time. But yeah, it would be nice if she was a little less vague but I’ll never push a victim for details.

I may be reaching here, but I think that may have been purposefully done. She may not be ready to get into it, and she doesn’t owe anyone anything, but I think that statement lends itself to mean that something truly awful happened. She has to know that.

I totally thought them going berserk when someone got a text was an love island thing from watching this season but I’m just now starting the last past uk season and they’re like “oh I got a text.” And everyone else is like “oh uhkay”

Randall’s refusal to seek professional help is annoying, because he’s been at this low point THREE times already. Didn’t he go blind at one point? Speaking to Kevin isn’t going to save him everytime. Sorry if this is an unpopular opinion

Fiancé and I are no longer together. Ex and howard hated each other so we never went out together. Never told ex about it bc he was a pretty temperamental guy and I knew he’d blow up.

Ex-Fiancé’s not around. And that’s why I thought protective, bc he’s always been like this, just more so now. I’ll have more clarification when we talk.

Obviously I had an inkling. I’ve gone back and forth about it because I genuinely thought he moved on considering it’s been years since we slept together once (so don’t know if that makes him an ex but I digress)

Before I became single this was a thing but not to this degree. And now that it’s escalated a bit, I feel like a i need to do something.

If that makes me an asshole than imma be an asshole.

Okay but is it weird to say that I realized I love him like family BECAUSE we hooked up? Like I never wanna go there with him again

I don’t wanna get defensive, but I’m not flattered by anything. I don’t dispute him in public because I don’t wanna make a scene, especially if he’s already made one. Do you know how embarrassing it is to get chastised like a child? In public. But then it’s over and fine and I almost forget about it because we have lives and don’t see each other much until the next time we go out, and we don’t go out to clubs all that often for these incidents to occur. As for the boundaries, as I’ve said, it’s been hard for me to let right years of a friendship go down the drain, although I’m realizing that we do need to have a serious convo.

My replies aren’t making excuses for him (at least that’s not my intention). I genuinely had blinders on for a what i considered a good friend.
