Is there a specific part of the country the story takes place? I’ve been curious about this since the beginning because there’s been mention of the beach, and it always made me curious where they were living.

Also do you plan to explore the relationship between Jon and his mom more? I find them really interesting considering the kind of tense relationship they seem to have to each other and how that dynamic mixed with the favoritism of Michael seems to affect the way Jon perceives relationships and the world around him.

The story takes place in America (I am an unfortunate resident here) but I haven't quite decided what state this made up town is in. I'm feeling east or west coast but nothing in stone just yet. I'm in a midwestern landlocked part of the country so I'm letting these kids live my dreams (with consequences of course)

And yes! I do plan on exploring Jon family dynamics more, just on a lowkey level until it's time for his big character arc. I can't wait to get there when we do! But... baby steps, y'know

Oh! In how many heartbeats, where did you get the inspiration to write the kids and their families? Their relationships feel so real

I love how this is the first question, lol. I rewatched the original In a Heartbeat short a good number of times and while watching my attention turned towards the background characters (Liane, Sean, and Ozzy) and kinda just dubbed them to your average tropes: "not like other girls," "old money naivety," and "bad boy trytobe." I've also always had a fascination with psychology (obviously) and while developing everyone's problems and their resulting "quirks" I kind of related them to relationships of myself and people I am close to.

Sherwin’s family dynamic is heavily influenced by my maternal family; we're all very close to each other and involved in each other's lives, while there isn't nearly as many people as what Sherwin has, it damn sure feels like it

And likewise Jonathon's dynamic is influenced by my paternal relationships. Distance and polite but where you least expect to find it, there is affection and care

As for Ozzy, those who've read some of my footnotes in one of the actual chapters will know he is a character I've had longer than my plotting in HMH. He's always had at least one absent parent due to various reasons. He's going to deal with a lot soon enough.

And a lot of us likely know someone with Liane's situation. Used as a prop, eats and breathes unwanted standards but doesn't know how to deal with anything otherwise in a healthy or positive way; probably a dirty secret somewhere in the background she doesn't want anyone to know

Sean is probably the more difficult one of the bunch, I've been pretty much making him up as I go along. Rich orphan that is bordering muteness and is not allowed to consider what problems he might have that aren't the obvious ones. Definite dependency issues though.

Okay, not sure if anyone would be interested but while I'm getting my different projects done, does anyone have questions they would like to ask about any of my works??

You need to move off of Google Docs!

I know some people have seen the news recently and may be doubtful of it. To the uninformed, Google Docs has started using AI to find "inappropriate" and "problematic" content, scraping your documents and deleting it. I know some people are unsure if this is real or think this is not going to affect them.

I regret to inform you that this is real.

As I was on a call with some writers and we were moving our documents as a precautionary measure, one person discovered entire pages missing that they did not delete themselves. This is happening to us, it's not a hoax or a rumor, it's happening right now. You need to move everything if you want to preserve it.

If you're a writer with writer mutuals, please reblog this so they know. I rarely write on Google Docs anymore, but I started my fanfics on there, and I would be devastated if I lost works more than ten years old because people decided marketing appeal is more important than creative freedom.

Chapter 13 is up!

[hoodie-2]

I'm alive somehow.... anywhoseewatsit

I like to think Hickory and John Dory met up now and again before the Rockpocalypse between odd jobs.

Hickory visited Poppy to catch up and happened to get spotted by John. He knew what was coming.

Okay, so I colored it in. I'm not sure how much I like Chartreuse's colors tho...

It's been a while since I did some sketching so here's on of John Dory and my vision of BroZone's parents, Saffron and Chartreuse. I might color it in later

Am I ignoring my og projects? Yes. Is there trolls involved? Also yes.

Out of curiosity, no rush cause i know writing is a ✨process✨ and not always a fun one, how long do you think HMHB will be on hiatus?

Unfortunately, I do not know 😅

I have been in and out of focus on it with my other projects (and somehow lost track of my plot notes) so it's mostly been on the back burner. Sorry to keep everyone in suspense!
