You guys, I love Bellum
When Lile uses a song I thought I had discovered
How I feel like my dysfunctional couples would react to Lile's couples
Now, I'm a Paraphina shipper so you Parisobel folks....
JK, but ...
At the beginning of Bellum I was like
Then Seraphina took off the white coat to reveal the black lingerie
Anytime Pariphna where in a room together after that
And there was a bed
And she tied him up
(would love that scene from Sera's pov....)
How I feel about the end of Bellum III
Everything Dante and Callum say
Paris getting some backbone and becoming kind of swoony
When Isobel showed up
And Jona was the traitor
Erik and I are hitting F5 and waiting like
You: So, how are YOUR SERIALS going
What being in the trenches is like
Me reading my own stuff

Mind Games
I know I'm always going on about walls and trenches, but I'm actually really interested in the Vice world. The more I work on this the more I want to explore the other parts of the Vice world. I could easily see myself writing about Luce or Haley's schools, other cartels, the East, the military. I have some of these stories in my head...but I'm not sure if they'll ever make it out.
Chapter 11
So, I don't have much to say about Chapter 11. I wanted to set up some of the main tension between Maxwell and Haley. Haley is keeping a secret and is hiding from something and Maxwell wants to know what it is. This was one of the reasons Haley didn't have a first person POV.
Chapter 12
Now we are back to Alan Gray.
Quick recap; Rayne and Sara's baby is taken and Sara is so distraught they have to drug her. Rayne decided to take thing in his own hands and goes to Dakota's brothel, Dream, to intimidate hum by threatening to kill all his prostitutes. As you do.
“You let him off to easy,” Minnow says once we are in the car. “He's probably lying. Dakota will never help us.”Chapter 12
“I don’t need him to,” Rayne says confidently.

So. . . when did Paris get swoony ? It's so unintentional, I have been working on that scene from Sera's POV, it's actually a turning point but not for the reasons you might think.
ReplyDeleteAlso where are the dysfunctional couples SHV ? I think Corrine and Jona are the best thing ever. I was researching something in OHG for. . . that other thing. . . and I just wanted to dive into Rhett/Juliana forever and ever.
I guess he got a little swoony when he got a little alpha-y and started taking charge
DeleteI guess I've been in the Vice world for so long I forgot about my other couples...but even then they never make big declerations of love and I haven't had many couples be couples during the entire serial.
Minnow seems to get that intense Mother-bear instinct whenever it comes to Rias.
ReplyDeleteI guess in retrospect it is kind of odd that Minnow would try and get Rias to think she was his mom.
DeleteMinnow was just "playing" mother. This might get explored later.
DeleteI keep forgetting we haven't seen much of the East. We've just see two very different lives peoplecan live in the West. Would the East be more hopeful ?
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd love to see more of the other Cartels. Have you thought about writing "good" guys in this world, or would you say there are no good guys in this world.
DeleteDarcy_Lover- I think the East would be a lot more hopeful. We'll get into this a tiny bit.
DeleteHeapsofLace - "You either die a hero or live long enough to become the enemy". Honestly, I think everyone is kind of a "good guy" in their own way. But good guys are also boring though.
I was hoping for an internally screaming gif. lol. Sending all the good vibes
ReplyDeleteI'm doing all my screening externally now.
DeleteSara has such few lines in this but I'm loving all of them. More Sara, plz
ReplyDeleteI'll see what I can do
DeleteIt seems like the Mjollner's have a lot of newbies. First the new girls at the lounge the newbs who fumbled a bit during the kidnapping. Maybe someone took over them from the inside.
ReplyDelete. . . like the Donnelly's
DeleteOMG, Ivy is the Rektor
DeleteThat would be awesome. I'm in love with Chapter 6, has such an amazing tension. I think mostly because of Ivy or maybe it's the third person.
Delete@July- Um, wow...you are totally on to something. I've got to be less transparent. But yeah, Ivy isn't the Rektor
Delete@June-- You know I think I wrote that nearly a year ago
Didn't the kidnappers take a Heliplane ? I mean Rias could be in another country
ReplyDelete@SLodger-- Maybe ? I think they are betting on the fact that you'd need a passport before taking a baby out the country so he's probably still there.
DeleteAlso Vice takes place in an alternate universe where there was a 14 year nuclear world war so...the world is a little bit smaller.
Wait. . . Haley has a secret too, I bet he dun killed somebody. I mean what do we know about the dad.
ReplyDeleteSHV said the storylines probably won't cross but maybe Haley is an Andriod like Alan
DeleteI feel like his secret is more subtle than that, like we don't know how his religion feels about homosexuality.
Delete@GlitterGirl-- Get out of my head, you guys ! Haley's Dad is going to come up...
Delete@Violeta-- He's not
@Ashlyn-- His religion and sexual prefernce going to come up as a conflict.I could do a mini blog on this, but when I started Vertias I decided this was a world where being on different places of the spectrum of sexuality is accepted. Although that said most of the characters fall heavily towards heterosexual.
Those popcorn .gifs had me rolling. Yay ! I'm glad Sara's getting back into the game.
ReplyDeleteI still have one popcorn.gif I haven't used....
DeleteI still have one popcorn.gif I haven't used....
DeleteWhy does Luce seems so traumatized after the murders. Didn't he kill a guy over an armband ?
ReplyDeleteWell, Luce was in the side of the car that got hit by the other car...so he almost died. Also he probably has a concussion and broken arm.
DeleteYes, SHV can we go on with this forever. I feel like we could follow up to Rias being an teen/adult
ReplyDeleteDon't tempt me. *opens empty vault to fill*
DeleteHave I mentioned how much I love the name Sage ?
ReplyDeleteI may have been eating stuffing when I wrote her scene...
DeleteThey’ve always been violent soulless people, but now they are acting like animals
ReplyDeleteumm. . . he shot a guy's junk. . . just sayin'
Intersting point, we don't ever actually see Rayne kill anyone. In a way all the character are anti-heros but just barley, are we ever going to see more of the "anti" side to Rayne and his dealings ?
DeleteSo, are we going to catch up on Grif, make sure he's uh. . .recuperating ?
Delete@QwertyGirl-- Exactly.
Delete@Natalie - Rayne doesn't typically get his hands dirty...
@SundanceGirl - I mean, I guess I could write this in, but I feel like it would require me to do research about these things so....probably not.
Did you choose specific guns for specific people, it seems like they switch up often.
ReplyDeleteMostly it's a rule of cool. I've done some gun research enough to just know what gun is bigger than another.
DeleteAnd another thing . . .
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes on the women named Sara/Sera who get pregnant by powerful dudes and end up getting drugged
becuase of how distraught they are. SHV-LILE PARADOX !! Also in Bellum when Sera blows up the cars I wanted to write in how she did it and I wanted her to shoot the gas tank, while this happens in Breaking Bad a lot , it seems like you have to use incidenary bullets. #googlesearchesthegovernmenwillgetmefor
Should we even get into the innocent young blonde characters who witness someone die ?
DeleteI didn't look up anything for the engine blowing up...I never even thought about it.
Also, trust me, the government will come for me before it comes for you if we are talking Google searches...I have to make my next post about my time on the recreational drug use forums.
Come on, Dakota could be The Rektor, I mean his ineptness could be a cover.
ReplyDeleteEh ? Eh ?....yeah, it's not him.
DeleteRayne says this all started with the shooting at the Luxor, but do we know why they shot at the Luxor. Maybe Rayne is up to some shady stuff on the side.
ReplyDeleteWell, this will come up more later, but basically the Mjollner are mad that the Cartel makes more money.
