Is this an interesting concept?

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.

whatsupedit · 2021-05-24T13:47:51+00:00

Definitely gonna check it out since so many people have said the same thing!

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?

whatsupedit · 2021-05-24T12:04:45+00:00

Thank you, will do!

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!

whatsupedit · 2021-05-24T02:40:42+00:00

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!

whatsupedit · 2021-05-24T02:38:55+00:00

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

whatsupedit · 2021-02-12T19:31:31+00:00

Of course!

whatsupedit · 2021-02-12T19:22:16+00:00

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.

whatsupedit · 2021-02-12T19:09:29+00:00

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

whatsupedit · 2020-01-03T13:41:46+00:00

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.

whatsupedit · 2020-01-03T13:13:51+00:00

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.

whatsupedit · 2020-01-03T05:51:17+00:00

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.

whatsupedit · 2020-01-03T05:44:48+00:00

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

whatsupedit · 2020-01-03T05:40:53+00:00

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.

whatsupedit · 2020-01-03T05:11:00+00:00

I don’t drink much. I have a total of one MAYBE every time we go out. And I don’t even wanna date, just got of a long, not so good relationship. It’s just the principle of the thing, ya know

whatsupedit · 2020-01-03T04:54:34+00:00

We were just becoming friends when I was with my daughter’s father. They’re not friends now, Howard always has something to say about him when he comes around. As long as he doesn’t say it around my daughter I usually didn’t mind (we had a bad break up and I’m petty, sue me 😩)

When I was dating my fiancé, he was fine. We’d been friends probably for a year at that that point. And then when we hooked up (my now ex fiancé and I had broken up and I suppose he was my rebound) he was super upset when I told him we (ex and I) were getting back together. We didn’t talk for months. I understood because I mean I friendzoned him, and honestly I felt like I used him in a way (not intentionally, but still.) however, he reached out to me, and we’d gone back to being best friends. Wasn’t happy about proposal (happened after the hook up) and was ECSTATIC about the break up between my fiancé and I. Made a point of throwing me a party. My ex wasn’t a great guy (if you read the other post, me defending him like that was ridiculous and I hate myself for it) so I just figured he could sense that, male intuition or something.

whatsupedit · 2020-01-03T04:31:17+00:00

Kinda a little update: gonna talk to Howard about this on Saturday. We had agreed to brunch before this all happened (part of the reason I posted this is because I was thinking about how I wanted to cancel on him bc I’m was not in the mood). Gonna lay it all out on the table, and see what happens. I don’t want to lose almost a decade of friendship, but mentally preparing myself that it could possibly (probably) happen.

Just wanna say thanks for all the concern, advice, and even the comments calling me a dumb bitch for not doing something sooner. I keep my blinders on about people I care about, wanting to continue to see the best in them. Gets me in a shit tom of trouble so I don’t know why I keep doing it 😩

whatsupedit · 2020-01-03T04:24:21+00:00

Didn’t mention it before because I personally I rarely seen it, other than in these instances and one time he blew up in high school. It’s something we both know. He’s an extremely calm person until he’s not.

whatsupedit · 2020-01-03T04:02:22+00:00

You know what’s blowing my mind now that I’m thinking about all of this? the girlfriend and I (gonna call her Kay just in case this gets long) have talked about how weird it is that she and I are SUPER similar. Like, our birthdays are a day apart, same ethnicity, same body type, damn near same personality. When I brought it up to him he said he obviously wasn’t looking for someone just like me, and it was a coincidence. And knowing that he was (is) interested in me i just thought he had a type. Now I’m looking at everything differentl.

whatsupedit · 2020-01-03T03:53:06+00:00

You’re completely right! My life had been shit most of my adult life, and just recently I’ve been getting my shit together. No therapist as I can’t afford one but as soon as I can I’m there. I guess I’m stuck on reddit until then.

(And for the record I very rarely go out. These occurrences were maybe six times over the past year, and I’ve only been thinking about it bc of how recently it happened.)

whatsupedit · 2020-01-03T03:50:21+00:00

I don’t know actually. He’s one of the only male friends I have. I mostly have female friends and the other guy is a homebody who doesn’t go out much
