Swept

The Angel In The Room ( Commentary )

GUESS WHO ACCIDENTALLY WROTE 2,000+ WORDS AGAIN 🤠

if you read this far, PLEASE tell me so I can heck you to death with love

I promiseasidhfioawsehaskdljhf this is the last time I'll write that much

Most of the high school books I've read have an extra 1,000 words every chapter so I-

Even though chapter 1 was the first chapter,

Chapter 2 was the first chapter where you're actually experiencing the story -

Whereas chapter 1 was full of background knowledge and our blueberry boyo's lore.

I noticed how 2nd-person POV is so underrated in the writing community. Concepts similar Undertale or Homestuck inspire me the most.

I incorporated this throughout in the prologue, and thought I'd try my hand at it again in the beginning of this chapter.

I spent more hours than I probably should've searching for music; than writing my friggin', and I regretti spaghetti everything. :pensive:

I hope it wasn't too big a hassle to listen to them? 👉👈

When I showed this to the guy representing 'Ruben Vermillion,' hE thOught it wAs a fAnfiC

(and was totally living for ittttt???? 😳😳)

To clarify for those of you that know me and him IRL, thiS iSN'T a fANFICCCC!!

In this chapter, you're introduced to two starlet characters, Aurora and Winslow.

There you encounter Oscar's older sister. However, unlike most of the characters in this story, she's representative of nobody in my actual family (more on their representatives in a later chapter). She's one of the most optimistic people I cherish in my life, and she's JUST as much of a flamboyant person here as she is IRL. I hope I brought out her character well...? :) 💗💗💗

Then there's Winslow.

Problematic.

Near the end, I mentioned how Oscar made a contract with his angsty parasol Winslow. When I first made him, I didn't plan on giving him a voice. Whenever I was dreaming, I always had this parasol I consciously-named Winslow, who'd always come to my aide after calling for his name - like Thor and his hammer Mjolnir. Recently, as I've been writing out this teasable yet genocidal umbrella, I imagined Bill Cipher's voice from Gravity Falls.

He doesn't represent anyone in particular, just a parasol that derived from my lucid-imagination.

Here's my blueberry child and his grinning parasol.

With that out of the way, THANK YOU dear reader / colleague / friend / exponential dork,

For taking time out of your day to read the 2nd (yet aggravatingly long) chapter of Swept! ❤️

I promise this is the last chapter I write where it's this long.
