i reread blood ties chapter 1 every time i get an inbox about it and i really don't see the mass appeal but the people demand codependent! lottienat and so that is what i will give them... aghhhh the timeline isn't exactly what i wanted but i'm working with it and i'm excited for you all to see where it leads.
because it has been eating me, and i want to share this tidbit, the fic is in part a study on born psychopaths and made psychopaths. i find the concept extremely interesting and it will have an impact on the progression of their characters immensely.
i'll definitely have a longer spiel on the matter the further we get into it, but that was just the little note i had to share. it feels like a spoiler?? but we all know the road down which the fic leads, based on the intro itself, so it can't be too bad. i'm also sure we can all guess who the born psychopath vs. made psychopath are.
it's going to be so fun to explore! especially the concept of psychopathy being not the adding of negative traits, but the taking away of positive ones. can a psychopath FEEL love? is it genuine? when two collide, is there a possibility for that spark to occur?
like the myth of humans being split in half (the soulmate myth) because they were too powerful as in - what if one psychopath crosses paths with another, or at the very least, forms another? it's such a rare condition that i can't help but feel SOME bond must come out of it - especially if one feels so compelled to create another one of themselves so as to not be alone, or to see themselves reflected in another, etc.
sorry. i'm rambling about psychopathy. just - who would i be writing this au if i wasn't neck deep in the psyche? i'll hush now - i'm not even a psych major, but i hope this speaks to how excited i am about bringing this fic to life (ironic statement, given the foreseeable body count).
end rant! counting it as a vent because i don't feel like making a guac rant tag... maybe later. when i'm not on school wifi.
