I'm in the midst of heavily editing Disrupt Me
What do y'all think about a little sister for Cyrus and Zayn? About the age of five?

@gilded8lily Thank you, dear < 3 That really does mean a lot And yes! I don’t want my characters to be just there for plot purposes but have them be flawed and human with messy feelings and complicated relationships. Their relationships with each other really are what make this story tick. ...Said that, I do have an emotional assassination of everybody coming up soon. I apologize ahead of time. (Not really.)

@oceanmoth Ayla is adorable. (≧∇≦)ノ Also, thank you for confirming Arian and Azalea are staying twins because their dynamic is *way* too good to change. And honestly? I'm a sucker for emotional depth. That's probably what I'm looking forward to most. I love when characters are allowed to be complicated and imperfect instead of just moving the plot along. Give me messy sibling dynamics, unresolved feelings, inner conflict... all of it. Those relationships and emotional struggles are what make a story unforgettable to me, even if you're about to emotionally assassinate your readers. Also, knowing how well you write mental health and complicated emotions, YOU'RE GONNA EAT!

@gilded8lily Exactly!! Just imagine a little sister—she'd be adorable. I've already picked out the name Ayla for her. I'm also leaning towards keeping Cyrus and Zayn as fraternal twins. I think that dynamic suits them best. And don't worry—I could never change Arian and Azalea. I'm far too attached to them. They're heavily inspired by both me and my twin brother, so they'll always have a special place in the story. I'm also planning to delve much deeper into their emotional lives—their relationships with one another, their inner conflicts, and everything that shapes them. Fair warning, though... it isn't exactly cheerful. Those four little weirdos occupy my thoughts every single day, so they're not going anywhere
