GIF FUN !

I don't really have a reason to do a GIF post, but the last few chapters have been kind of angsty and it felt like time !

I have SO much I want to finish but it's going soooo slow.I have been typing away on these novellas when I'm not working on the last 10 5 or so chapters I have of UL. 

Me, when I finally post the first novella and reveal which serial it's from

Last week I finished a draft of Meanwhile, the 5,000 word novella

And then I forgot to save it and lost it:

But re-writing it has actually made me refocus and make it fit  better:

To work on the novellas I've been re-reading serials and it's a mix of 

And

 I sometimes dip into the blog posts and comments. I love how many commenters have been in for the long haul.

Not to mention how funny you all make the comment section

Seriously, your support and honesty is always great

 

Now, let's talk Lile-verse

I'm all about Lile's feminist agenda

Queen and Country is blowing my mind ! It's like the culmination of everything Lile's been doing. The world building, the themes, the new characters, the old-new characters,  inventing APR, the twists and turns. Everyday I'm just:

Whenever we get a Paris scene in QC

This is a little mean ):

Paris' decision making

When I see Sera

Sera's Decision Making

 

Leon's Decision Making

And I'm rooting for Aria/Leo, but I'm also rooting for Sera/Leon so I'm really rooting for some menage.

Now, let's do some obligatory GIFs of Nicholas Hoult, the closest person I can find to a Rhett picspiration

I know this has probably been color corrected but HIS EYES. Also those wrinkles on the left side of his cheek and his pointed back teeth are 90% of why I see him as Rhett.

You got a purty mouth

Although I imagine Rhett's hair as more this color...but no widow's peak.

And can we talk about this second puberty male actors seem to go through ?

From this:

To This:

This is him next to Elle Fanning. I mentioned in another picspiration post that They are about the age difference between Rhett and Savannah....also, yes, she plays his love interest in this movie ):

But, seriously THOSE EYES

 

Alright, back to the trenches !

Chapter 22
This chapter was a tough but I wanted to dive a little bit deeper into the toxic background Rhett came from that led him to even join UL. Also, as I was building this story I had this distinct image in my head of a scene where Juliana was walking Rhett home and he was black out drunk. I didn't have context for it, but I wanted it to be a turning point.

Chapter 23
This is another long one and probably the last long one.

Recap
Rhett has been on suspension for about 6 months from the Coast Guard after Mr. Reese calls his job about some letters he sent Juliana when she was in jail where he detailed some...not so great things he did in UL. Juliana gets a taste of heroin from Cody Grady and she likes the way it works with her antidepressants. Rhett finds out Juliana's been buying  heroin from his neighbor, Marty Enlign, in exchange for pictures. Rhett, Cody, his cousin Wil and Uncle Deacon go and pick a  a fight with the neighbor and Rhett smashes Marty's computer.

 That same night Juliana has to go and get a black out drunk Rhett from a party at his Uncle Deacon's where he becomes verbally abusive until she gets rid of the heroin. In the morning he doesn't remember anything and they both agree to try and do better. She'll stoping using heroin and he'll stop drinking.
