I can do anything in 6 Years / Sweet Prince 3

These are my aesthetics for Jean, Minnow and Alan. I've actually thought Paul Walker should be older Alan for a long time. Minnow's is Charlotte Casiraghi, a princess of Monaco. Jean's is still Jared Leto, but I imagine him with a little more Jay Baruchel.
 



Mimic Mimic
Someone asked me in the comment section how I thought Sweet Prince related to Mimic and I've thought about it...Sweet Prince is like Mimic except with a third wave feminist group hug. Mimic is probably much more true to the, male-centric, cold, weirdness of actual cyberpunk short stories while Sweet Prince is....something else I don't have a name for. They also exist in contrast; Mimic is what happens if Rayne's only son ran away from the family business and Sweet Prince is what happens when Rayne's only son embraces it.

Also, I think Mimic might be a little abelist with the way I wrote Luce being autistic and Minnie being in a wheelchair and doing nothing. Also, Alan calls Minnie mon cher and I have no idea why and it makes me cringe so I'm just going to bury Mimic in the same place I buried Sundays.

 SH-CPShawna Paradox Line
I wrote Mimic 7 years ago and honestly haven't read it in atleast 5. I definitely haven't looked at it recently so, I was beyond shocked when I realize there is a SH-CPShawna Paradox Line !

This is how Kris describes Minnie and Alan in Mimic. Remember that in this version Minnie died at the Life Summit and is a Sage-like character:

He put his arms around her waist to adjusted her properly back in her wheelchair and kissed her again, locking his lips over hers.

I rolled my eyes but, for as long as I had known them they had been like that, more in love than any teenagers I knew. Which was surprising seeing as Alan regularly slept with prostitutes and Aunt Minnie kept a strict schedule of doing everything and nothing at the same time.

This is how Twyla describes them in Sweet Prince:

Alan was a cartel loyalist and he and Aunt Minnie had been together longer than any couple I knew. He practically worshiped at her feet and even after a decade together they acted like the newlyweds I saw in movies.

(The line was originally like teenagers but it was a last second change)

This is Luce in Mimic:

He took Twyla’s hand and lead her to the door,”Come, Kristopher.”

I could have killed him for talking to me like a child but, I followed him out the door, pass the restaurant and to the parking garage.

And this is Luce in Sweet Prince:

“And that’s our cue to go,” Luce says walking out. He motions to me with his hand like I was a dog. “Come, Twyla.”

And in both novellas the Kris/Rias character gets dressed down. In Mimic it's by Alan because he missed Rayne's funeral.

“I was busy--,”

“No one fucking believes that, you better come up with a better fucking excuse.” Alan shot at me

“Alan, sweetheart, you can’t talk to him like that.”

“He can’t be babied. Kristopher isn’t a child anymore, he is a man” Alan said

“Don’t go there,” Aunt Minnie said, “Everybody saying shit like that is why he left--,”

“No it’s not.” I said,” It’s not.”

 And of course in Sweet Prince

“Disarm me,” Luce barks down at Rias. “Don’t you dare fucking cry. Are you being a damn baby because you had to kill your daddy last week ? Is everything too hard, sweet little prince ? Are you so lazy ? Are you a little bitch ?,”

Rias rolls himself out from under Luce’s foot and walks away.

Luce grabs him by his collar and pushes him into a wall.

“Stop being weak, baby brother.” Luce growls.

“Luce.” Mother says. “Give it a fucking rest.”

Give Me Six Years

 Also, I came across this blog post from January 6, 2011..in 6 years I can do anything:

Sweet Prince 3
Recap:Twyla Banner is friends with Colette Santoro, a motorcycle assassian for the Santoro Family known as the Covalcatti. With Sara drunk at Ivy's Twyla's about sneak out to meet Colette when she decided to invite Rias and give him a night of fun. She tries to warn Colette she's bringing him but it might be too late.
"I catch Rias’s body language change. He presses his foot down on the pneumatic device of his ankle holster and his silver and black revolver flies up and into his waiting hand.
 

He starts firing at the blue Covalcatti motorcycle coming towards us.

Shit..."
