Make it Magical (Sunshine 7)


*yes, yes this is another post I wrote weeks ago so it may seem random*



Make it Magical
I just randomly want to talk about American Fairytale. I can't believe it came out so long ago but I think about it a lot because it is the most un-Lile like thing while still being the most Lile-like thing. I love that Cillian is just a guy who gets taken on a journey by his own toxic pixie dream girl and in the end is still just a guy. He doesn't get special powers, he's not special, he's not rich and he's not prince. He's still just a normal guy trying to do good and repent.

But also it's the most Lile because its so deeply about a  place that gets sprinkled with little bit of magic and the unexplained to make it special.

And it's so  because right after American Fairytale was posted Lux Atearna came out. A big part of me was so jealous Lile created these two unique and broad paranormal universes but I'm also happy because I get to just sit back and enjoy them.

Anyway, this has just been kind of on my mind.

Talkin' Twilight
So part of the reason I was looking into Fairytale is because I couldn't remember if Lile had already used BooBoo Stewart for picspiration and then I remembered he was just a baby in Twilight so it's so weird for me to see him as hot now!

I am still working on getting some of my lost comments back. I've created a copy of this blog but now I need to figure out how to put Disquis back on it and have it read the older comments. I'm really upset now because Disqus has FINALLY allowed Gifs. *sigh*


Rias/Charlotte 
This little image reminded me of  baby Rias and Charlotte. Especially the girl's hair.



Sunshine 7
Recap
Safely at Arkham, Luce starts training El to use her weapons. Haley announces that Maxwell is getting new adaptive technology that will allow him to tell about what they did to him so Haley runs back to the Sprawl to make sure Maxwell doesn't get the ability to communicate.

I sit with Grayson  until his tears stop and after an hour I finally convince  him to come inside with the  promise that we’ll ride to the train station and meet Haley when he gets off the train this time tomorrow.

Except it’s a bad promise.

Yes, Isaac lets us tag along on the shuttle he drives to the train station the next day.
But when they train empties out Haley isn’t on it.

A few more picspirations! (Sunshine 6)


This image gave me Twyla and Rias vibes!




These are some close-ish picspirations for Twyla (36) and Colette (37). We will be checking in with them more later....


I don't have a picspiration for everyone but I see BooBoo Stewart and his cheekbones as Real Kenji. They also happen to have some similar heritage.

Sunshine 6

Okay let's move on to--

Muse: Hey, Shawna.

SHV:Oh, hi....Muse ? You've never spoken to me on the blog bef--

Muse: Yeah, well you remember  that thing you posted a while ago about wanting a  new plot bunny you couldn't get out of you head and that would potentially take over your writing brain to a point that you stop working on your current stuff--

SHV: Well, I mean I didn't say it like that but...um...yes ?

Muse: Yeah, well. Here.

SHV: Oh, um...wait...I wanted something that wasn't Vice related and this--

Muse: Oops. Hmm.Well, no returns. I mean...I guess you don't have to write it.

SHV: Well, it'll be like what ? 2,000 words. I can do that. I'll just write it to get it out of my head and then--


* 11,000 words later*

So...I guess I'm writing another Vice shaped thing after this ? I'm going to codename this one Nova and I hate to be a tease because this might be a 2020 thing but it's why I've been  sort of MIA. I just had to get this story out.

I know I'm being unnecessarily secretive but I don't want to say something about Nova and then end up changing it.


Recap
El, Sara, Jean, Luce, Haley and Grayson make it to Arkham where they meet  Hotako and the real Kenji Washington. Leaving the question; who was the boy they met in the Sprawl ?

Also, there is a security guard in the house named Isaac Prior who seems to have it out for El...



“Don’t worry, there is an outdoor entrance [Issac] will use while you are here but I told him to come this way introduce himself to you," Kenji explains. "Your grandmother wanted to go to  our labs. She said she wanted to see if she could  build a backup server and new battery for Luce. The little boy and his father are outside playing with Cleo.  I thought I would offer you some lunch.”

“Lunch sounds good.”
