[Duine In Cudromach]

Yes. Julie was born just before the exodus from earth. Her father died when Costa Rica became uninhabitable, and her mother took her to Canada.

I know I'm asking a stupid question, but does Lily think that environmental collapse works like the movie 2012, where the whole world flash-freezes over the course of a few days?

Also, wiat. She said that the environment collapsed and destroyed massive swaths of the world about fifty years before the exodus? But now Costa Rica imploded only a couple of years before the exodus? And also Cuba is still okay?!

Lily why are you retarded?

Julie's mother was not a very nice person and Julie disliked her immensely. When Lev and Kestri pulled her out of her cryo pod and told her that her mother didn't make it, Julie beamed and clapped excitedly. Lev and Kestri later find out through context clues (Julie being terrified of Kestri when she's in her 'ship's overheating' clothes) that her mother was sexually abusive. This ends up being the reason Kestri becomes more mindful of how she dresses around the kid.

Lily made a big deal about how Canzuk is a lost language that nobody can understand but somehow Julie, who presumably only speaks Canzuk, is able to instantly understand Lev and Kestri.

Lily introduced Kestri's 'overheating' attire just to make a plot point where she gets to imply that a toddler was sexually abused. If I may editorialize-- fuck you, Lily.

And once again Lily is incapable of not going from zero to ninety in three seconds flat. This keeps happening. Lily thinks that making things as terrible and awful as possible is going to prompt an emotional reaction from the audience. 'Sexual abuse' is a magic word for her, same as 'suicide'. If you just throw it out there then the audience is forced to be sad and sympathetic, or forced to react with horror.

Julie is much happier on the ship. Space is cool, Uncle Lev and Auntie Kes are super nice to her, and for the first time ever she has her own bed. She is a very happy girl.

Oh, thank god. Imagine if Julie had contradictory, difficult feelings that her mind is literally too young to process and woke up screaming with nightmares about the memory of her mother's abuse that she cannot understand or communicate to Kes

wait

So what Kestri wears around while the ship is 'overheating' reminds Julie of her mother's sexual assault. So Kestri's 'overheat' weare is so sexually adjacent that it causes a panic attack in this tiny child. And she just wanders around like that on full display for her brother, with whome she is likely sleeping during these occurrences. Cool. That's cool, Lily, definitely no ulterior motives here.

Also, why is the ship overheating so consistently? How much wasted energy are they outputting that this is a constant problem? Why doesn't Kestri just fucking fix it if she's such a great mechanic/engineer? I know the eanswer is literally to make ane xcuse for her to wander around like this but once again Lily is putting a Moment ahead of character and it makes Kestri look incompetent in the field she's allegedly an expert in.

Also...what the fuck? The most we got on Carmen Julie's mother is that Julie remembered her yelling at her one time. Not that, as a baby, she was raped by her mother. I'll repeat...what the fuck.

Yyyyyeah, Lily definitely just thought about this. She had Mikaila draw Kestr in her 'overheating outfit' last week, I think, even though the ship overheating has never been brought up before, and I expect this Ask was sent to herself just to give her ane excuse to talk about this Dakr and Troubled Backstory that she made up a week ago so people know how Edgy and Serious this story is willing to be.

And, really, do we expect Lily of all people to invoke an emotionally manipulative writing tactic like foreshadowing?

Sarcasm aside, it's very funny that Lily hates 'emotional manipulation' but will, as I said above, gladly throw around words lik 'suicide' and 'sexual assault' in order to force a particualr emotional response from the audience. Foreshadowing and implication are 'emotional manipulation', but waving around a literal child who was repeatedly raped by her mother isn't. Suer.

Yeah I think it says something that Lily considers trauma bonds and enmeshment as horrifying yet refuses to portray it as such in her work.

Spoiler

One of the reasons I'm kind of fascinated by Into the Void is because Lily started posting it right around the time I started working on my own novel, focused on a brother and sister who are deeply dependent on each other to survive a hostile world. The brother in particular has sacrificed a lot of his independence and ambitions to help his sister during a long battle with a severe illness, and now internally defines himself largely in relation to her.

The defining difference, other than the two not wanting to fuck each other, is that the narrative understands this is simultaneously a noble act of love and self-sacrifice and also deeply unhealthy and he is not well.

Meanwhile, Lev's entire life since the moment she was born revolves around Kestri. Watching over Kestri, being with Kestri, traveling with Kestri, sleeping with Kestri. His slavish devotion to her just welled up instantly and he decided from the age of three that nothing mattered to him more than Kestri. There's never been friction or struggle...

...which is kind of my other problem with their 'relationship'. Because Lev has never wanted anything beyond being with Kestri, it means that he has never had to choose Kestri. He's just programmed to love her more than anything else in his life ever, and it makes the whole relationship incredibly shallow. If Lev actually had wanted to settle down with a girl on the station but chose Kestri instead, it would mean something-- not just that he loves her in some weird, vague way, but that maybe he believes so much in her dream he's willing to do this, or he wants to help her escape the station and he's willing to give up a real life that he was establishing.

Lily almost flirts with this by the end of the draft, where Kestri thinks about how she wanted to have an Old World wedding and find a husband and have a family (which flies in the face of her ruminations about how she never wanted to be a mother, now that I think about it), but it's also not a matter of her choosing Lev, either, because she didn't actually care about anybody else on the station. It was a vague romantic dream she never actually bothered pursuing past the age of nine, and when Lev proposed they leave she responded with an instant "FUCK YES!" and not, like... hesitation or uncertainty. Choices only matter if an alternative exists.

And of course, it's Kestri who gets the opportunity to consider independence. Lev is her dog. Kestri is allowed to think, even briefly, about a life without him, but Lev is never allowed to think about a life without her.

 

[TheAmbiguousLurker]

"No, no, Kestri stops walking around with her tits out when Julie comes along."

Ah good, at least she realized that she needed to be less inappropriate with a child on board.

"Because Julie was raped by her mother and Kestri's tits are triggering her, otherwise Kestri wouldn't change a thing."

I almost gave Lily some credit. My mistake.

Of course, everyone has pointed it out already, but it bears repeating that 'Lily, you fucking liar, you just made this shit up today'. A five year old who has only known abuse from the adult in her life does not wake up in the aftermath of the death of everything she knows and immediately run into the arms of the two strangers who found her. Julie is coming out of that pod terrified and trying to find a way to escape. Kestri and Lev are only getting her onto their ship through an arduous session of trying to calm her down and show they mean no harm, probably with Kestri taking a back seat. No one would be walking away from first contact oblivious to there being something wrong with Julie and assuming she's just a normal, happy kid. Julie would have strange behaviours and outbursts fearing that she'll be abused further.

And this is all under the optimistic assumption that the five year old who has known nothing else actually recognises that she's been mistreated and hasn't convinced herself that this is simply what she's expected to do and tries to 'show her worth' to the adults' horror.

But of course, how foolish of me. For some reason, I'm thinking that the point of giving a character a big, traumatic backstory would naturally be that said story feeds into how that character acts and thinks and creates interesting inter-personal conflicts to overcome.

Ideally, if you wanted to keep this backstory and have a smooth transition into Julie trusting the two, you'd have the mother get woken up too, have Kestri/Lev figure out that something's wrong when the mother tries to keep her hold on Julie and thus have Julies first interaction with them being them saving her from her abuser.

Also, this was a well timed revelation, Lily. I wonder, did you get any inspiration from the recent child exploitation in the UK?

It's usually who you have the deepest connection with by the time you're 15, though it sometimes goes as late as 19.


Sometimes people want a certain kind of relationship but it's not available so they settle (Kestri). Life is generally harder without a partner so people are less skittish about settling.


Not every partnership is the greatest relationship you'll ever have, many of them are "good enough."

Take it to DMs, only because I don't want Lily throwing it into a Google search 2 years from now to dox Duine and say "MY HATER IS A NAZI WHO WRITES RACIST SCREEDS ON KIWI FARMS THIS IS WHERE THE BASTARD LIVES." Lily is petty and retarded enough to do it.



I'd like to note that with Lily and rape, this means 2 separate universes where mother-child incest has happened, the first being Stockholm. Ironically, Lily is not portraying it as her kink this time, as it is supposed to be the worst thing Lily could think of spontaniously out of his ass. I will complement Lily on using her degree as we all know victims of sexual abuse by their parents at young ages trust every new person and aren't afraid of other people, nor do they repeat inappropriate behaviors the offending abuser afflicted on them or show other non-verbal behavioral trauma. A masterAss showing from our favorite behavioral psychology lover.

I think Lily's fascination with brain damage is due to how it is a very convenient excuse for a character to act differently than others without exploring the root cause. I would not be surprised if Lily liked the idea of someone with brain damage because they're easier to control. This is fiction, not fact, as brain damage comes in many forms, but I have a big feeling that Lily loves the idea of a docile person, to say the least. It's why Julie never seems frustrated she's mute or Iris doesn't have a normal genetic hearing problem.

It just adds to the fact that Peet doesn't seem to understand the idea of consent or give a shit about it. So they continue writing disabilities as a way to remove all individuality away because deep down, that's what they wished Courtney had when he was violating her.

Reality however will not be kind to them because even mute, People can find a way to move forward, or will be able to kick his arse if he were to humor that idea beyond fiction.

Peet doesn't understand how disabilities work beyond a excuse to write docile behavior.

Not beating the sex pest allegations there, fuck face.

Lily would totally be into those "dark psychology"/"manipulation 101" books made by grifters who don't understand shit about how people work.

Also using the "I can understand her body language" excuse reminds me of how zoophiles defend the rape by saying they "understand the animal really well".

You sincerely think Lily pays attention to countries that aren't Canada?

But of course, how foolish of me. For some reason, I'm thinking that the point of giving a character a big, traumatic backstory would naturally be that said story feeds into how that character acts and thinks and creates interesting inter-personal conflicts to overcome.

I was going over the Iris excerpt the other day and it really struck me hw Lily will set up a terrible, tragic backstory for a secondary (or tertiary) child character and the whole reason is to make her Mary Sue du jour look better. To give Julie this kind of history has massive implications for her characters... but she's just an adorable child and the only 'problem' this has ever introduced is that Kestri can't wander around mostly nude on her ship.

Lily really putting that behavioral psych degree to good use.

Sometimes people want a certain kind of relationship but it's not available so they settle (Kestri). Life is generally harder without a partner so people are less skittish about settling.

Not every partnership is the greatest relationship you'll ever have, many of them are "good enough."

So Kestri actually isn't enamored with staying with Lev or attached at the to him, as previously and constantly implied in the draft, and actually she just agreed to go with him because seh couldn't get hitched to a man who would take care of her, and also she hates everybody on the station so she was never pursuing anybody anyway, and also they didn't agree to their partnership unti Lev was eighteen and she was fourteen, and also they live on a fucking space station there's no need for partners?

Amusingly that goes back to my point about the characters not actually 'choosing' each other. Lev can't exist without Kestri as the the locus of his ego, but Kestri actually agreed to join Lev because she really had no other options.

I'm sure Lily thought she was actually cooking something here and there's a kernel of something interesting, but also... why are people beholden to a decision they made when they were fifteen? For their entire lives? Why can't they invite more partners if their relationship is platonic? Why can't they mutually break a partnership apart, or even not-mutually if it turns out one partner is abusive or they actually don't gel together?

Then again, a year in space may or may not be two Earth years so maybe 15 is the new 30.

Because I put that in the draft before I thought of any of this.

I reached a point in my novel a little while ago where I realized that I had locked in a number of world and character details I had (intentionally) left up in the air while I was working. I find that when I have a couple of different ideas for something, it's better for me to just go forward and keep them in mind and I'll understand which one works better once I have more context. Once I'd done this, I paused my forward momentum, went back tot he beginning, and cleaned up (or straight re-wrote) my earlier chapters in order to make sure everything felt consistent.

I say this because I cannot imagine publicly posting a draft for real-ass feedback and not having gone back to fix massive worldbuilding failures and contradictions. Your audience is going to be confused, your worldbuilding is going to be nonsensical, you can't get real feedback on your work because it's in such a state of disarray that no beta reader can actually sit down and give you real advice and feedback. Even if Lily doesn't want feedback on the worldbuilding (which she seems so proud of) she left a note that one of her main characters had multiple iterations of his personality because, after getting 24,000 words into a draft, she still didn't know what she wanted to do with him.

It is wild to me to proudly display your work in public knowing it's a shitty first draft, knowing you have massive contradictions, knowing how many times you changed your mind, and just not to the bare minimum of going back and deleting scenes that no longer make sense. This would likely result in Into the Void b eing three pages long, but I think that's a solid start to a fix.

Being a sub par writter isn't a crime. If it was, Lily would be locked up for crimes against humanity 40 times over.

If writing was a crime, she should've been in jail already for writing Stockholm.

It's official, CD-Call is just talking out of her ass, then.

Half of the characters Mikay draws are just "Lily" with small changes like hair colour. All the easier to tell which character Lily is projecting onto when she writes her self insert fantasies.

Fair, and there are some that are just way too on the nose or remind me of CD-Call, even if not on purpose.
The henchwoman, Vanessa? Yeah, I shit you not, she looks a lot like CD-Call, but not in a flattering, feminine way.



I'm now looking at these two villain morons and think to myself... is Emerald everything Mikaila wishes that she was?
Mikaila does call Emerald Entropy "her child", so... maybe?
I cannot take this seriously anymore - I just think Emerald and Vanessa are Mikaila and CD-Call recolors...
and yes, that does come with the implication that CD-Call is masculine, sooo... this probably doesn't serve CD-Call's ego very well.

 

[TheAmbiguousLurker]

I think that Lily's respect for a band of brave immigrants raping other people's sisters with full impunity can overcome Lily's limited sight of international borders (since Britain is the other country that survives the collapse in Into The Void and rolled into Canada, noted for it's great immigration and diversity policies). I'm sure Lily is making a toast to this victory for tolerance.

I'm flattered! But out of a concern for privacy it's probably best not to do so. At least not without a bit of obfuscating editng.

All there is to do is start writing random bullshit exclusively for the thread. We get paid for in a lack of exposure!

Why does Kestri roast her mom for having kids at 15, then?


Because I put that in the draft before I thought of any of this.

I swear to christ, I know Lily's "first draft" better than he does:

“We were just having a conversation,” the man, who Lev could tell was much older than he was.
“He was trying to tell me it’s my duty to procreate!”
Lev stepped in and grabbed both their wrists. He pulled Kestri free and moved between them. “She’s fifteen. Fuck off.”

She had older mascs hitting on her when she was fifteen, something that should have resulted in reduction of rations and being shunned by the community.

Those are from two different sections, fairly late into the book, while the original line about the mom being mentioned is from very early on.

You know what, I'm actually going to do you a solid, Lily (just so I can point out you contradicting yourself) and answer that question for you. Instead of saying, you put it into the draft before you thought of any of this, you could have actually pointed out that Kestri is opposed to this idea:

Memories of one of Kestri’s rants about the Old World and how fifteen would never have been considered ‘of age’ drifted to the forefront of Lev’s mind.

But you didn't even mention it at all and instead implied it was a "first draft" error and not something Kestri would have said to her mother. Because you are incapable of remembering anything you wrote. Meaning that, if you did change that line in the beginning, this line much later wouldn't make sense.

Like...how are you this bad at writing, where you don't even know your own characters. Because, again, I'm going to defend Lily here, I actually think it's totally in character for the partner age to be 15 in universe *but* it still makes sense for Kestri to call it out because, as shown above, her and Lev state multiple times they don't agree with it. So you could have answered:

"15 is considered the normal age to get a partner, but Kestri and Lev never agreed with this policy and felt it was too young. They reference this multiple times throughout the story, and it's one of the many reasons they felt like outsiders on the station and feel more comfortable and free living in space, and it's totally not because I have an incest fetish or can't write scenes with more than two people present at once."

Hell, you could even spin it to try and make Lev have a thought of his own by implying this line of thinking motivated him to get the ship in the first place, because he didn't want to see his sister get Julie'd on the station.

Actually, wait, no, I'm also wrong, looking back at those quotes, because Kestri specifically mentions the loss of rations/shunned by the community thing, which implies that it *isn't* normal to get a partner at 15, even though...the beginning of the book says it is *and* the later sections say it is.

Lev grimaced. Ever since he turned fifteen, the question of when he’d find a partner was asked by nearly everyone from his mother to his mentors. Even his friends were nagging him about it.

So, beginning and end of the book, it's normal for people to find partners at 15. Middle of the book? It's so out of line that it should be considered a crime, and Lev actively tells someone to back off because she's only 15. This is exactly why you *don't* write your chapters out of order and then try to shove them together into a final product. I'm sure some experienced writers do it, but Lily is very clearly not an experienced writer. He struggles with not contradicting himself when he's speaking normally, so the last thing he should be doing is writing his unfinished first draft out of order and expecting it to make sense.

I could also talk about how it's a contradiction with Lev talking about dating in the old world and how he finds it so horrific that there was so much pressure put on finding a romantic partner, when his own culture has people expecting to partner up at 15, and how he apparently knows and recognizes that in the Old World, that would be considered wrong, yet it's later established he's glad the old world views on romance/dating are gone.

By the way, I've read Into the Void exactly ones of times, when it first leaked. And even then, I admit to skimming certain sections. I sometimes have to skim through it again to pull up a quote, but I usually just section jump for that. It's not like I'm reading it every night to find errors, these are just things I pull up off the top of my head. Lily should absolutely be more familiar with what he wrote and I'm truly convinced he hasn't even read through his own unfinished draft again

Yes. There have been theories that part of the reason Lily refuses to acknowledge it now, when she used to be so proud of it, is a concern that somebody might actually follow thorugh on reporting her. I doubt this is the case (Lily is too stupid to understand the laws of her own country) but it's funny that it was floated as a legitimate concern.

Yeah. It helped me remember it better by yelling about in the thread, but Into the Void is written in very simple, approachable prose, demands basically nothing of its readers, and resolves everything so quickly after introducing it it's actually pretty easy to remember most of its plot points. It helps that Lily repeats them multiple times within a single page (or, if you're really lucky, a single paragraph) so it's easy to internalize.

Which just makes it even more absurd that the author is so incapable of remembering this shit. I know everybody interalizes differently, but if you aren't the kind of person who can keep track of all this information at once just by dint of writing it, just make a tab or document for your notes. Hell, she's made shitty wikis for all of her other works, she can make a private wiki for ItV to keep track of everything. There's really no excuse for this level of incompetence. Especially from somebody who has been writing for so long, and who has made claims of being a ghost writer whose books we would love if her name wasn't attached to them.

It is kinda funny that Lily is so awful at taking notes, given his love of things like TV Tropes and Wikis. Like, he was capable of making a detailed timeline of everything leading up to the events happening in his book (almost none of which ever gets mentioned in the story) but he can't even run like...a chapter summary of what he's written.

I like to run an outline, character notes and a misc. notes document where I can copy and paste important descriptions/dialogue so I can quickly reference it without having to scroll back through the actual story. I'll also make a note to check if it feels like I'm repeating or possibly contradicting something, and I'll include the page number on where the issue might be so if I go back and find it, I can then jump to the page that might have the error. I also have a mini notepad document that I'll sometimes write specific things that I'm unhappy with and will probably want to tweak/change, again with a page number, so I don't get hung up on them, but can actively go back and at least look over, if not change entirely, before doing a proper edit.

Also also, we have flashback chapters already. So...if you actually wanted to establish these details, you could just have a flashback chapter from Julie

But that would take time away from Kestri, and we know Lily wouldn't like that.

Come to think of it, why does she like Kestri at all if her only experience with women has been sexual abuse? This is a missed opportunity to give Lev something to do, you'd think Julie would drift more towards the quiet relaxed male figure on the ship.

And Lily would get bored because she hates making Lev do stuff that isn't worshipping the ground Kestri walks on.

Lily introduced Kestri's 'overheating' attire just to make a plot point where she gets to imply that a toddler was sexually abused. If I may editorialize-- fuck you, Lily.

Yeah, most stories would have a character change their behavior in response to living with or raising a child, but that would imply Kestri has flaws to change. Instead, we need to show how caring she is for understanding this poor little abused child on her own.

Also, why is the ship overheating so consistently? How much wasted energy are they outputting that this is a constant problem? Why doesn't Kestri just fucking fix it if she's such a great mechanic/engineer?

Just imagine if Kestri's only solution to the problem is just cranking the windows open and hoping for the best.
