Hello! Since I'm still getting questions as reviews, I'm just going to continue to answer them here.
*If you're not caught up, be careful! There are spoilers!*
Q1: Will we hear Lilly sing again?
A1: I posted this because someone also wrote another review about Lilly having any musical talent, which is really sweet but unfortunately she does not! She's never had time to pick up an instrument. But it's funny y'all wrote this because I'm a musician.
Q2(not really but): Honestly Lilly being shipped with someone later would ruin the focus of the story
A2: I understand your point but ...
Q3(also not really): The song everything's alright by to the moon from Laura something fits this fic sooo well! It's a beautiful song that talks about the moon with just a piano! It's soo fits Lilly!
A3: I almost cried at this review because I LOVE "To The Moon" and all the music from it! I have a playlist that I listen to when I write this fic and I added it because you're so right! Maybe I'll post my playlist once this part of the fic is finished.
Q4: So like the necklace contains the soul of Lilly?
A4: We'll get an explanation before the conclusion of this fic I PROMISE but I just wanted to say here, if you look carefully you can see every single piece of media that has influenced this story over the years (again, started writing this back in 2009). The Opal concept was always there, but I kind of tweaked it over the years.
Q5: Big question, why is Arceus with Lilly? What does Arceus need from her and why her?
A5: This kind of goes with Q4, but we'll get an answer with the end of this fic. Lilly has never gotten a straight answer either though, and it's (obviously) caused her a lot of turmoil.
Q6: This reminded me the Arceus thing with Lilly reminds me of the Hoopa movie where the humans also had a power from Arceus I think
A6: Wow, really? I've honestly been procrastinating on watching any of the mid-new pokemon movies (think post manaphy movie, whatever that was called) because I KNOW I'll get too invested in the stories/lore. But I think it's probably really important for me to watch those, ESPECIALLY the Arceus one.
Q7: You could publish it on quotev or archive of our own, other two major fan fiction sites I know of. Also I am all for Lilly getting shipped with someone if she breaks up with that person later XD I agree that ships are annoying but it's your story in the end plus there is always headcanons to save everyone.
A7: Thanks for the tips! And I want to clarify, I'm not about to aggressively pair her with someone, but me writing this fic is also kind of an exercise on different kinds of relationships and how they interact with each other. I'm obviously all for platonic relationships, but is it possible for them to coexist with romantic ones? Like the people who are writing reviews saying "she can only love Mewtwo!" are kind of proving the opposite point that I'm hoping to make eventually. I'm not mad about it, it's just interesting to see what other readers think.
Q8: Oh yeah please do post your music playlist! Will Lilly ever get an existential crisis and talk about philosophy with mewtwo similar to mewtwo returns? Also what sort of activities does Lilly and mewtwo like to do together, like hobbies I mean?
A8: Will do! And I'm sure they will in the future, I think it would be interesting to see their views on those kinds of subjects. Once they have TIME for hobbies, they'll probably get more into cooking together. In the future, I hope to make little lighthearted illustrations about them to pass the time between fics, but that's only once I get good at it. Stay tuned for that, though!
Q9: Are mewtwo and Lilly like soulmates? Could it always be just mewtwo and Lilly? Like Lilo and Stitch? XD
A9: Lilo and Stitch is almost exactly the vibe I'm going for, and I'm so glad you see it!
Q10: How long does it take you to write a chapter? Like the process? Do you daydream and write as you go, or you first get the whole idea and then you write? Thanks for the answers! This is awesome!
A10: This probably isn't what you want to hear, but about half of this has been written for a few years. I was about to say a higher percentage but then I realized that I've nearly doubled the word count in this fic even in just the last year or two alone, I'm pretty proud of myself for it! But when I write a chapter, I'm always trying to figure out what part of the plot needs to be addressed most urgently, what development needs to happen, and I proceed based on that. Normally when I get an idea I write down the barebones of the chapter (no matter how short it is), then I edit from there. But I am also CONSTANTLY daydreaming and playing with ideas in my head, and I usually always have my laptop with me (or my notebook) and jot down notes as they come up. Thanks for your question!
Q11: My question is ...a strange one but if Lilly and Mewtwo shared a blog, what would they post about? I think people are just tired of seeing the same sort of stories, and most deal with romantic stuff l(the how to balance romance with friends) like it's over-done and want something new, almost like if they were looking for representations in fiction of other kinds of ...ways of living? Like not everybody needs a love interest in life (or stories) and "predictable unoriginal" stuff like that, I guess it's a minority that feels alone in their thinking even though I agree with where they are coming from and #friendshipAndFamilyNeedStoriesandValueTooRights type of thing at the same time no need to get agressive and upset, at the same time it means they really care about your characters haha honestly it would be awesome to see the guardian (mewtwo) vs Lilly's aunt relationship dynamic assuming her aunt raised Lilly a little bit and like they disagreeing in what Lilly should do or in little dumb situations or on How to protect Lilly..etc know what I mean that could be fun and comedic I can see mewtwo getting too protective and opinionated XD Sorry for the long essay I enjoy getting into philosophical stuff.
A11: No by all means, I love talking about this. I think if they shared a blog, they would probably talk about places they travel to and Pokémon they meet. And you're so right about the need for representation, I think the younger version of myself also needed that and that was why she started writing this! But I remember feeling so conflicted toward myself for several years because having grown up watching my favorite media (a:tla, pokemon, etc) I didn't understand that this dynamic *could* exist and I kept asking myself "why exactly am I writing this?" And your answer here has helped me work through that even more. I don't want to comment too much on the latter part of your question, but you'll get your answer on that soon for sure!
Edit: I thought of this later, but when I watched Violet Evergarden for the first time I remember thinking to myself "Finally, a non-romantic relationship between a man and a girl!" But then ... ?! I get that they weren't THAT far apart in age, but it was still uncomfortable, because their relationship isn't all that different in every other aspect. (if you haven't seen Violet Evergarden, I do highly recommend it.)
Q12: If you could compare mewtwo and Lilly to another fictional pair which one would it be? :)
And well...i guess it makes sense being against romance in Pokemon since it's not a franchise that focuses on it, it's always been about Pokemon and human interactions, I think that's more Twilight saga area (shrugs). By the way what would happen if mewtwo and Lilly encountered Silver(Giovanni's son) at one point since you mentioned him and he is a trainer with an interesting story in the games?
A12: Someone said "lilo and stitch" earlier, and honestly that's the best comparison I've heard in a while. But also if you've seen steven universe...I'm kind of leaning toward a steven/garnet vibe? It's hard for me to pinpoint a good comparison because I'm not sure I've seen an example of it closer than lilo and stitch? If anybody has any suggestions for what to watch, feel free to throw some at me (edit: my friend JUST told me about "the half of it" and I have a feeling that will be extremely relevant so I'll watch it later). Lilly's personality is not similar to Steven's, but the relationship itself kind of. Also comparing adding any romance to this fic to the twilight series hurt me so deep, and I really have to respectfully disagree with you. And as for the last part of your question...*insert "we'll get there when we get there" meme* heheheh
Q13: This is a great idea to wait for the next chapter and get to know the characters more! If real world religions existed in Pokemon would Lilly be of any of them?
A13: Thanks! I actually hope to do an "RP" style one with Lilly and Mewtwo answering in the near future, idk what they're called but they seem fun whenever I see them. And wow, y'all are really hitting the plot hard with some of these questions, huh...I think she's kind of a conglomerate of a few (as most religions are in my experience) but I don't want to say TOO much for reasons stated in A5. But now I'm starting to think I should watch/read about the Arceus movie before writing that chapter because I don't want to go too hard against canon stuff.
Q14 (followup to Q12): Sorry :{ I did not mean to compare your fic with Twilight (your fic is obviously ummmm like galaxies away better? You know what I mean) I just wanted to provide an example of a romance focused franchise but that's a bad one. you know? A great one would be Disney's Tangled in my opinion, that is so much better and gets the message across better I think, anyways . I just realized that the perfect pair comparison could be Dreamworks Peabody and Sherman movie actually, in terms of relationship dynamic XD sounds crazy but strikes me a really similar vibe to Lilly and Mewtwo in terms of how they interact. I even want to watch that movie again now! Sorry again!
A14: Oh no need to apologize, I misunderstood! I've never watched Peabody and Sherman but I'll have to check it out! And now I think I understand what you're saying. Thanks for clarifying!
Q15: Giovanni was written so well I wanted to ask if you got inspired from his game personality where he redeems himself instead of the Anime's personality of him?
A15: If I'm being honest, I only know "game Giovanni", meaning the only anime Giovanni I know is from the first movie! I really love the way that he's made out to be irredeemable in the anime, but I also really liked the idea of him having a soft spot for kids because he has one (even if their relationship sucks maybe?). But I also love the idea that some of his subordinates are greedy / take matters into their own hands when he's not looking. Basically, I have the most fun writing villain/misunderstood characters.
Q16: When writing Lilly, did you have in mind how to give her like her own personality but like with a reference on how a 12 year old might still act? I think she was written very realistically in that regard.
A16: Writing original characters is still a challenge for me some days. I've been "living with Lilly" for a decade now, and I'm still working out her personality! I started this when I was in middle school and although a lot of things were made since then, I really try to keep some of her dialogue that I wrote back then because that's the most accurate to what a kid would say. But since I'm not a kid now, I pay attention to what feels realistic and what feels like a stretch when I watch shows or read books that have young characters (I especially love animation, of course). I think I can write her character easily because I love to analyze the characters in the media that I watch. (I will also add that my current occupation has me around kids often!)
Q17: How do you keep mewtwo in character in every chapter with what he would say and do ..etc?
A17: Wow, glad I get to answer these back to back. Equally glad that you think he's very consistent! I think Mewtwo's character is so solidly set in my mind from watching the movie that it's difficult for me to deviate from it, but I (hopefully) added some other dimensions to him that readers might not have gotten to see in the movies (although I haven't seen Mewtwo Returns for the same reasons mentioned in A6 (procrastinating, worried that this will change the entire story, etc. I even had to google some stuff from the movie for the conversation between Ash and Lilly because I couldn't bear to watch it).
Q18: Why do you like mewtwo as a character?
A18: Similarly to my answer in A15, there's no character type I love to watch/read/write more than his (think Zuko [A:tlA], Pink Diamond / Peridot [Steven Universe], I actually think he's most similar to Scar [FMA:B], I hesitate to say it because I don't like him, but Snape [Harry Potter], I could go on). The character who is afraid to let their guard down, but does anyway. The character who is so sure that they are doing the right thing, only to eventually realize that they aren't. The character who feels like it's them against the world. I LIVE for that trope. But when it comes to Mewtwo, I think that the prologue to his movie was what made me fall in love with his character (as you all would have just read). Because it SHOWS you that he was once just an innocent "Pokémon," I think that side of him was what made me realize how complicated of a character he was. I thought it was so heartbreaking that he never got to go back to that point in his life (if that happens in Mewtwo Returns DO NOT tell me, I'll watch it eventually I promise!). I also liked the lesson he learned during the first movie, and that he realized he could make his own purpose. He has a spine and will not hesitate to fight for what he thinks is right, even if he stands alone. I could go on for a while, but I think you get the point!
Q19: Hi! hope you are doing well. My question would be, is there a chracter either from pokemon or another story that you thought would be hilarious if mewtwo and lilly met or interacted with? Reading last answer you should really watch the japanese version of first movie and mewtwo returns (the sub) because surprisingly your take on mewtwo reminds me more of japanese mewtwo (original written) though sometimes he does behave like the english version in your story (makes sense) but it is interesting cause it means that once you analyze mewtwo to the core both mewtwos have similar, well cores, even though they differ slightly. I just get the vibe that you might like Japanese mewtwo a lot. Thank you for writing and sharing this story D
A19: Oh wow, I've never thought about this, but now that you've got me thinking about it I have an entire list. I think most of the above characters would be quite interesting, but I think if they're BOTH meeting this character, maybe Zuko? Lilly would be fascinated (and probably also intimidated) by Firebending since it's similar to what (she thinks) are her powers, but Mewtwo would probably get jealous because Zuko is able to control fire and he doesn't really have that power. Zuko would probably be wary of Mewtwo because of how powerful he is. Eventually, Mewtwo would probably pick Zuko's brain about Firebending. Completely irrelevant, but I think if they met N together, they would all find something in common.
Well now I'm curious! I never considered the possibility of the difference in language to be so significant between the two. I never got around to watching the Japanese versions, I think because listening to Mewtwo speak English was really important to write some of this dialogue. But now that I'm so far in, I might as well do it. Thanks!
Q20: ... And best of all one of the few shows that don't push any political agendas, or any political-service whatsoever.(looking at you LGTBHNHNMJNHJKN WHATEVER)
A20: I wasn't going to post this, but in hopes that it is a misunderstanding on my part, I will. I'm not posting the rest of your question because this was all I saw. Because as a bi person, I have to say all of my favorite media contains between one and infinity LGBT couples. This author is a proud member of the LGBTQIA community, and since it's my fic, this fic is too. There is no such thing as "political service" when it comes to LGBT+ content in media because LGBT+ people exist in real life. This fic is a place where people of all genders and sexualities are welcome (and will be represented later, if I publish that far).
Q21 (in reference to A11): Honestly I think in Violet Evergarden the type of love they explore is meant to be abstract and unique, like the essence of what true love is.
A21: I really *want* it to be what you just said because it was so similar to how I tried to write my own characters, but I really don't think that was the original intent. I think we're supposed to think Violet is in love with Gilbert. Which I wouldn't have a problem with were it not for their relationship at the beginning of the anime. I get the argument that "she never had a childhood so was she really a child?" but like...she was a child. Anyway, to this day I'm still confused about what we were supposed to think.
Q22: I would say Little witch academia is another great anime if you are interested, if you have Netflix you can find it easily on the kids zone.
A22: I started LWA a while back, actually! I adored the characters and the story, but I stopped watching for some reason. I'll definitely revisit it when I can. Thanks for the suggestion!
Q23: I saw somewhere that somebody commented that the director or writer intended for violet Evergarden to be about familial love and show it explaining how it is supposed to be about a HUMANS' need for love and affection from persons even if not related in some way, like how you might appreciate a hug from a stranger because that person reached out to you that type of way. Which is what Gilbert does he reached out to Violet when no one did at the time despite being a stranger and why a person can mean something to you because of that. It makes sense for violet to be so robotic and ask what is love in this context, like starting from zero and simply learning to love a human.
A23: Okay, I think I'm starting to understand. Thanks everybody for taking the time to explain to me! I still loved the show despite my reservations about all that, but it's nice to look at it from this angle, too.
Q24: You have to listen to Small folk band they compose songs based on fiction, I was listening to their song "billy saves the day" and thought that it really suited the beginning of chapter 38. And the rest with the song"the hurt is good".
A24: Wow you're really trying to make me cry today, huh. Add Billy to the list of "villain with a redemption" in A18, I cried when I watched that episode.
Q25: Is the end of this fic near?
A25: It is, indeed! I can't believe it.
I'm still working out where I'm taking this next. There will be a hiatus while I solidify the storyline/events to come next. but in the meantime, I'm really hoping to get good enough at drawing to make simple little illustrations about them doing things. I'll be sure to update you with more info at the conclusion of this part of the fic!
Q26: If you know what mbti is what would be Lilly s?
A26: I actually have never taken this test for her, and I feel like a fool for not having done so earlier. According to the description, it looks like I got her pretty spot on. Lilly is an ENFP-T! I'd always worried that I made her too much like me (I'm an INFP) so seeing this was a little disappointing. But in the end, I guess it's not really a bad thing. won't let me insert a website link so if you want to read more about her results just google:
enfp-t strengths and weaknesses.
Q27: What would be Mewtwo's and Lilly's favorite animated movie to watch together?
A27: I had to think for a while about this one, but I think Monster's Inc would be their favorite ◡̈
Q28: Pleease could we get a little sneak peek of next chapter or some minuscule info? Pleeeeease?
A28: I feel like anything I say will spoil too much! I'll just say that this next chapter is from Mewtwo's perspective AGAIN (idk unless i change my mind between now and next week)
Q29: Why did you pick Monster's inc, just curious...? Also Mewtwo and Lilly's song?
A29: I think they would like that they could relate to Sully and Boo! Plus it's a good story. What movie do YOU think they would like? As for their song...wait for the playlist heheh
Q30: I found hilarious how mewtwo lies and tries to manipulate situations as a bad habit he picked out probably from Giovanni and then so obviously pretends in front of Lilly he does not XD would Lilly ever mock him for it? Also from a psychological standpoint, why does he do that? Why doesn't he admit that he DOES lie?
A30: I was about to defend him when answering this, but then I remembered that he DID lie about eavesdropping on more than one occasion. But I can't think of other examples, was there something else he lied about? It's a weird defense mechanism/trust issue thing he has where he doesn't see the harm in telling lies he perceives as "harmless", but he's working on it. But upon being caught for "harmless" things ("did you know that they make jello out of Tentacools?" or something like that), I think Lilly would mock him for it and he'd keep insisting it was true, just to make her laugh.
Q31: (in reference to Q20): Hello again, I was left worried if my apology and explanation was hurtful again?
A31: I do not wish to talk about this subject on this page, nor will I spend time debating whether people have a right to exist or validating myself to anybody. Countless people have died for trying to be themselves or love who they wanted to, and I thank whatever deity is out there every day that I live in a time where I don't have to worry (as much) about that. I don't know your age, country of origin, or religious beliefs, so it's difficult to decide how I should react to your statements in my review inbox. In any case, I will recommend that you watch "the half of it" (on netflix), maybe that will help you understand.
Q32: Would mewtwo like king fu panda 2?
A32: This is oddly specific and I've never seen kung fu panda 2? But I liked the first one! I think he might also like it because Po made his own path and became the best version of himself (also, who doesn't like Jack Black?).
Q33 (in reference to Q30): Well mewtwo also lied about team rocket being in Hoenn at dinner with Ash and pretended to have a headache to avoid Lilly's questions.
A33: AH yes I understand what you mean now. In reference to those specific times, he was doing that because he was conflicted about leaving. But I don't think that gives him the "liar" trait because he did not think Lilly would be hurt by the truth if she found out. But idk, maybe I'm biased haha.
Q34: Mewtwo believes he is rational but it seems he makes decisions based on his emotions first and then uses logic to justify them XD would that be correct?
A34: Yes, that would be a correct assumption!
Q35: Would mewtwo and Lilly dance to electric light orchestra "shine a little love"? XD
A35: Bold of you to assume Mewtwo is willing to dance at all! But maybe, if Lilly asks nicely...
Q36: What would be mewtwo's opinion on fashion? Would he give Lilly advice on that?
A36: Mewtwo's idea of "fashion" is every piece of the outfit being of the same color. Will definitely illustrate this one later, I can already imagine it perfectly.
Q37: It is sort of confirmed that Violet and Gilbert have a paternal relationship since Taichi ishidate has commented in interviews that he regards Violet as a daughter figure and hopes that the audience sees her the same way.
A37: Whew, love to see it! Thanks for the update on that.
Q38: Why did Lilly cry when mewtwo said to her that he knew she loved him? Also why did mewtwo not answer her why he cared to read her thoughts? Also why is he so interested in reading her thoughts? This is in chapter 16.
A38: Oof, sorry if you had to read through a zillion spoilers to get to this response. A) Lilly was embarrassed to be that vulnerable around someone who (she thought) could not do the same. B[and also C]) At the time, he didn't really know why either. But in general Mewtwo's attitude toward reading minds is "I can, so why not?" which is kind of intrusive of him. Someone should really get him to stop doing that, or something.
Q39: Were there other alternative ideas that you had in mind for other chapters that we have read? What would be an example of one? Thanks!
A39: This is a really boring answer, but I didn't have too many alternative ideas actually. I DID have a scenario where Lilly and Mewtwo visited Cinnebar Island, met Blaine (as a nod to the pokemon adventures manga), went into the Pokémon mansion, etc, but the Sevii Islands / safari zone chapters kind of replaced that little arc.
Q40: Hi! If Lilly wasnt a trainer what would she be? what things does mewtwo like in your story also? like arts or science...etc? i was wondering, are there any good anime child friendly focused on friendship that you could recommend? thanks! i currently havent found any interesting ones, only lightning and sweetness and bunny drop but that is only a slice of life show, a good one though, but still a slice of life.
A40: WELL for one, I think she'd be in school. But if we're taking that out of the equation and we're still in the Pokémon world, I think she'd work at a Pokémon daycare! But if we're ALSO taking Pokémon out of the equation...I've never really thought about that. I'm gonna think on this and get back to you with an answer! Also, Mewtwo's definitely into science (esp biology), but maybe he'll get into some artsy things in the future once there's time (!).
Boy, do I have some recs for you! Most of the things I like do still have some romantic aspects and I'm a huge supporter of LGBT content in shows (I personally don't think anybody is too young to understand the concept "love is love"), but if you don't mind a little bit of that then I think you'll still like these:
- Not anime, but Steven Universe is mainly focused on friendships (there's SOME romance in it but it's not over-the-top) and growth, I highly recommend that one.
- (Also not Anime but) If you HAVEN'T seen Avatar: the Last Airbender please consider watching! I think it's coming to U.S. Netflix soon? This is a HUGE one for friendships and also my favorite TV series of all time.
- I think someone up there recommended the TV Series Tangled (Rapunzel). I don't know where to watch it, but I've also heard very good things about it.
- Little Witch Academia has a great story and has only ONE dude in it, so I think you're safe from the standard "forced hetero romance" there (I haven't finished it yet but I plan on doing that soon).
- (Not Anime) The Dragon Prince was sooooo good, I'm still not over it. There's ONE new couple that comes out of it toward the end of the most recent season, but it's nothing over the top.
I could keep listing but I don't want to crowd the Q&A, feel free to send me a dm if you want more recs or want to talk about these shows!
Q41: Where can we see the art?
A41: Shoot, I just realized that you guys can only see the avatar/cover art! I thought I was going to have more time before I needed to do this, but I guess there's no time like the present. Starting now, I'm going to make social media accounts for this fic! You can find it at the following:
Twitter: untitled_fic_
Instagram: untitled_fic_
This website won't let me add the "at" symbol but don't forget to add that first when you search. You can find more art at those accounts, including the surprise that I had commissioned for this upcoming chapter! (I've been contemplating uploading chapters and art to Tumblr as well, but more on that later.)
Q42: How would Mewtwo take care of Lilly if she was sick?
A42: Mewtwo's never been sick and also doesn't know THAT much about human biology, so he would most likely buy every otc medication and present them to Lilly, who unfortunately is even more clueless about being sick and at which point calls one of her many Aunts for advice (but most likely the Kanto Aunt [name redacted] because she's a nurse).
Q43: Would mewtwo like roller coasters? Or perhaps the more in-world decorated ones like in Disney world?
A43: I'm not 100% sure about what you mean by "in-world decorated", but as for rollercoasters Mewtwo's afraid because you can't control where the rollercoaster goes! He doesn't like how unpredictable it feels compared to when he flies.
Q44: Did mewtwo forgot to tell Lilly that her life is a gift like Amber said?
A44: Didn't forget! You'll see.
Q45: Will there be light-hearted one-shots with Lilly and mewtwo after this fic? Like little insides into life after this story?
A45: That's actually what the "comics" will be for! Ope, I suppose I didn't talk about these yet, I'll be sure to mention them in my profile. But I do also have a few of these in written form, though.
Q46: Won't Lilly thank mewtwo for the flowers he brought before he got angry? Also with decorated roller coasters I meant like the avatar attraction where you go on a boat inside a cave for example, or space mountain Disneyland Paris?
A46: EDIT: Actually I'm glad you caught that because that was NOT one of the things he took out of her bag and it SHOULD have been! Gonna go back and add that in right now!
We have space mountain in disney world, too! (I'm American) I think he might get bored of the "it's a small world" ride, but rollercoaster are scary...hmm...perhaps the ferris wheel might be his favorite, he likes to make a game out of predicting when it will stop! I'm sure she'll thank him when they have a moment, but as it stands Mewtwo was like "alright, sappy time's over, we gotta get out of here" lol
Q47: Just listened to the songs! How beautiful! I especially wanted to ask the song innocence from Violet Evergarden in what part of the story goes? Also I think you would love the story kingdom hearts days 368 story cutscenes, similar vibe. Easy to find on you tube by just typing that.
A47: I'll have to check that out, I love listening to any music from Kingdom Hearts (even though I've only ever played 10 minutes of Kingdom Hearts 2...). I'm so glad you like them! Which is your favorite? It's so hard for me to pick a favorite but I think the most applicable is "Love Like You"! For anybody else reading this, unfortunately I can't link it here but you can find it in my profile! If I'm being honest, when writing Chapter 38 (with Amber) I was listening to that and "Always Watching Over You" on repeat to get into the right mindset of being nostalgic / sentimental / lighthearted. After writing heavy chapters like 36 and 37, I needed to find a way to cheer up! All of the instrumentals on that album are incredible, I use some of the sadder ones for future chapters and they just . . . *chefs kiss* hit right. Evan Call did such a great job with this album, I love his work.
Q48: What song do you think mewtwo would like? And Lilly? Also do you think this song fits Lilly and mewtwo?
A48: On the playlist or just any song? I think at this point, Lilly would like any music that's easy to listen to (think, like, Taylor Swift), Mewtwo would be into classical music because he thinks any other music is not worth listening to, but perhaps we'll see him change his mind in the future...!
Your link didn't work at first because this website is very picky about when it allows links, but after some sleuthing, I figured it out! I think it fits better later (no spoilers, but...), but I also only know the basic story to Kingdom Hearts! I should try the games sometime...the story feels so overwhelmingly complicated based on what was explained to me, though!
Q49(in reference to Ch 39): Reading it again, I love how mewtwo puts being with Lilly first priority and not his survival, adorable!
A49: This will come up later, but Lilly helped him realized (even more so than before) that he could do as he pleased with his life after seeing her do what she wanted with hers in spite of being attached to a literal God, and therefore kind of cementing her destiny. He wants to make sure she also has all the opportunity to live her life the way she wants to.
Q50: One more question please! Do you see Lilly and Mewtwo singing "I see the light" from Tangled? Or perhaps "your song" from Elton John? Thanks tons!
A50: Honestly the scene with "I see the light" is FOREVER cemented in my brain as being super romantic (The way Flynn LOOKS at her makes me melt every time) BUT I still think they would sing it because it's a really sweet song. They'd definitely sing "Your Song" though! Such a great one, I'll have to draw that out later.
Q51: Yeah the I see the light scene is romantic but when you just watch a lyrics video of it without seeing the scene, you can really picture just anybody singing it, be it sisters, or a parent to daughter, best friends...etc no need to know the story of kingdom hearts for the KH days 368 since it's mostly the character interactions and deep dialogue that are really worth it and the rest is explained in the story warning:really really sadXD Here it is! It's like a movie since it does not include gameplay watch?vmY6kflxFbek
A51: Wait, is this just all the cutscenes from KH?! This would have been useful earlier, idk why my friends didn't tell me about it. Thanks!
Q52: Started seeing violet evergarden since you hyped it up i skipped ep 5 though, too cringey, and was wondering if in a later part of the fic, perhaps the next, the roles will be reversed and it will be mewtwo the one to die and perhaps return like Gilbert? At least a hint?
A52: Understandable, if it's not your genre of anime it can be a little slow in the beginning!
Q53: Wait...Lilly and mewtwo will get separated in the future? NOOOOOO! Will they return to each other? PLEEASE GOT TO KNOW!
A53: *zip*
Q54: Oh no, i skipped episode 5 not because it was slow, but because I didn't like that episode, but I did like the rest :) and wasn't really slow, also I don't usually like traditional anime style but the show looks beautiful! Also will mewtwo "die" or die in the future?
A54: OH okay, I see. And omg, y'all are really out here trying to get answers out of me ... but I ain't talking !
Q55: If mewtwo found himself in a situation where he would have to give up all his psychic powers to someone or something else or else Lilly would die, would he do it?
A55: Wow, that's kind of a really big part of his identity as a Pokémon / not Pokémon. He absolutely would, but it would seriously depress him for a while.
Q56: Have we seen the last of team rocket, or will they go after them again?
A56: *insert "wouldn't you like to know, weather boy" meme here*
Q57: In what ways would you say mewtwo changed thanks to Lilly?
A57: Oh no, if you're asking me this question I worry that I didn't do a good job of showing it in the fic D: I think there are several answers for this, but the key ones are
1) a [stronger] sense of compassion,
2) e,
3) he seems to be able to loosen up a little bit more! you'll see more of this side of him post ch 39.
Q58: Has Giovanni changed after he almost killed a child?
A58: This MIGHT be addressed later idk you'll just have to find out maybe hmm...
EDIT: I thought about this some more and wanted to add to it.
I think this scene is really important because, before this, Lilly knew one version of Giovanni (the one she battled with as a gym leader, said he'd disband Team Rocket [an empty promise, of course, to get her off his case]), while Mewtwo knows another. Also, Lilly thought that because Giovanni didn't personally do a lot of the bad things Mewtwo has seen him do, he's not as bad of a person Mewtwo thinks he is. But Lilly seeing Giovanni about to kill Mewtwo himself really changed the way she saw him. Lilly was in denial because she didn't want to believe someone she had battled as a gym leader could be that person, and there was another reason she was in denial, which will be revealed soon :-)
Q59: if Lilly were to lose mewtwo, would she be willing to sacrifice everything she has built for herself in order to never lose him?
A59: But if she had already lost him, what good would that do? Mewtwo wouldn't want that at all~
Q60: Would this song fit mewtwo and Lilly too? X)
A60: I gasped when I saw that it was The Cranberries, nice pick! But this doesn't fit them, as they're together now ... :)
Q61: I get the feeling mewtwo loves Lilly more than she loves him, is it true?
A61: EDIT: I'm not sure how I mixed that up, my bad! Definitely not, she's just a kid and will show it differently. In this last chapter, Lilly was so confused by what was going on that she didn't really get to properly thank Mewtwo or anything. But a good question!
Q62: Are mewtwo and Lilly supposed to have a similar relationship like Gilbert and violet?
A62: Yes :-) although sometimes they switch roles, like you saw in Ch. 37 / maybe 34? (especially when comparing the scenes where Gilbert's like "She's just a little girl!" to his brother and Lilly's like "He's deserves to live freely!" to Giovanni, etc)
Q63: What the cranberries song do you think fits them?
Q63: It was "Why" by The Cranberries that someone shared with me! But I don't think it fits Lilly and Mewtwo. I'll have to listen to their discography to decide if there is a song that fits them, lol
Q64: About question 59, Good answer! but, if she was ABOUT to lose him, would she? Sort of like if mewtwo would be willing to sacrifice his powers(which is basically all he has for himself) than would Lilly be willing to sacrifice the same?
A64: I think if it came down to it, maybe? But she doesn't really have that much to lose begin with, so it's kind of hard to answer. I'm trying to imagine a scenario and I don't think I can, haha.
Q65: Will we see mewtwo and Lilly dance a waltz? That would be soo amusingly adorable!
A65: I'll add this to the ever-growing "list of things i gotta draw" ! Or maybe I'll write about it, for funsies.
Q66: How do you commit so much to the fic?! Because a lot of writers sometimes never complete the fics, or don't update them so regularly, so it's impressive!
A66: That's such a nice compliment, I love being consistent! I think there are several answers to this, but the biggest reason why this fic got completed (well, we're almost there) is that this is my creative outlet. I'm a musician and that's basically my career, and that's also a creative outlet for me, but because I have terrible stage fright it doesn't allow me to get as into it as writing does. In fact, now that I think about it, nothing I do in life compares to the innate satisfaction I feel when I complete a chapter, or arc, or fully flesh out an idea; that's how satisfying it can be! But because this is my creative outlet, I would often come to this fic when I was feeling sad or frustrated about something, and get all my feelings out here. So the more I wrote, the more a story just took shape.
Another factor is that I've been writing literally almost half my life, I was Lilly's age when I started. And one day I just thought to myself, "you know this gives me so much joy, and I'm sure it would give someone else joy, too." and once I decided I was going to publish it for other people to see, that was what really motivated me to change things up and create a more cohesive story rather than several anecdotes loosely pieced together. So I did already have much of this content written, I'm just improving it between postings!
Sorry, this is really long and probably running on, but I hope I answered your question ◡̈
Q67: Awwww! I was so excited for next chapter! :( But okay, gonna check out the art :) thanks!
A67: So sorry, I wish I had it for you now :((
Q68: Actually if you check the question again it was that it is MEWTWO who seems to love Lilly more XDxD by the way have you listened to tears of life from Pokémon soundtrack? If so, In what part of the story could it go?
A68: I edited my answer, thanks for catching that! The one from the first movie? That scene left such an impression on me that I've never thought to put that song anywhere in this fic!
Q69: About question 57 it's not that you did a bad job, on the contrary, it's that I enjoy clarification to verify and that's it XD also when mewtwo hears Lilly humming in the shower why is he surprised? Did he like Lilly's voice?
A69: Ah okay, that's a relief! I actually put that in because it was his first time hearing a human sing :-) he didn't hate it!
Q70: Pleeeeeease! Can you post the chapter and then in any case edit it? You write so well, given how you seem perfectionistic, I am sure it's already so greatly written the way it is! (Pouty face)
A70: Maybe! I'd just hate to come up with an idea for the ending and have to change too drastically after publishing this chapter, and then be like "sorry guys, had to totally rewrite this ending lol"
Q71: Would you accept payment for this story?
A71: I assumed I wasn't allowed to because it's a fic about Pokémon? But I guess artists are also making fanart about Pokémon and don't have to pay royalties to the Pokémon company for that? I really don't know how these things work, lol. In any case, I think I would only accept payment if I had a lot of people reading this. This is something I just enjoy doing!
(side note: I do kind of hope someday to make my own, completely original story that I could accept payment for :-) )
Q71: Would Lilly ever ask mewtwo to tell her a bedtime story? Perhaps for comfort before sleeping?
A71: Mewtwo doesn't really know how to tell stories / make up stories on the spot very well, and even if he is reading a book to her he'd probably stop at least 8 times to say something like "Why did the character do that? He should have done this instead." but he'll gladly tell Lilly about some of the places he's been and adventures he's been on to help her fall asleep!
Q72: Maybe you could accept payment privately? Also sounds like mewtwo reading a book or telling a story to Lilly would be amusingXD
A72: I'll have to see what other fic writers are doing, maybe they're using paetron or something? It's not something I've thought about, but now you've got me thinking. Adding this to the list of things I'm gonna draw / write out!
Q73: So next chapter won't be the last? Maybe you could post this chapter and then if you get a new idea a second version of that chapter? That would be interesting! Or maybe if you come up with another idea we could vote?
A73: I'm combining your reviews all into this one!
1. Nope, there's one more thing that happens. But only MAX four chapters left, maybe less if I'm concise about it.
2. ahhhhhhmmmm it's more about whether I decide to include certain parts or not. It's hard to explain without spoiling, apologies.
3. Sorry, I asked Mewtwo and he said no voting allowed :(( (hahaha)
Q74: Could we ask questions to mewtwo and Lilly too?
A74: YES but wait until the fic ends! Also, I'd really prefer to do that on tumblr, because then I can respond with sketches and not just words! So if you don't have a tumblr...get one! (But I'll do it here if none of y'all can get tumblrs, I remember something weird going on with europe and internet privacy? I'm not sure what happened with that, but I'll be flexible for y'all)
Q75: Would mewtwo enjoy brushing Lilly's hair?
A75: Probably once he got the hang of it! But as for the first time...
This made me laugh so I drew a picture of it! You can find it on the tumblr and instagram pages!
Q76: It has been asked and seen about mewtwo comforting Lilly but how would Lilly comfort mewtwo?
A76: Mewtwo doesn't really need comforting that often, he's mostly gone through the necessary growth to come to terms with who he is. But also, while Lilly does learn to open up to Mewtwo (as this is something she struggled with early on), Mewtwo will always have a hard time letting Lilly know that he's struggling with something. It's part of his "I have to be the strongest Pokémon" complex. But in the instance that he needs it, she'll probably tell him a story or insist on "hugging the sadness out of him."
Q77: What things would you say Lilly values in another person, like personality traits? And mewtwo?
A77: Some of these questions are really challenging me to think about my characters in ways I haven't previously, I love it!
Lilly: Selflessness is her biggest one, but traits like compassion and loyalty are closely followed.
Mewtwo:His biggest one is loyalty. but close behind that are integrity and a sense of responsibility.
Q78: I saw you added a song called not while I'm around! :) is it from mewtwo's point of view or Lilly's?
A78: Most of the songs on the playlist can be interpreted either way, including that one! (I personally had it from Mewtwo's pov, but I also know the whole story ◡̈ )
Q79: How would or will Lilly cope psychologically with everything that has happened, would she get anxiety out of nowhere for example? Or sudden stress and wanting to cry?
A79: She will definitely experience those things. Lilly hates being alone. but sometimes she'll subconsciously self-isolate to deal with those feelings. This will be addressed more in subsequent chapters, but I can say that much so far!
Q80: Have you heard the voice actor of mewtwo sing aka jay goede?
A80: y'know, I actually haven't! I'll give these a listen before the end of the week :-)
Q81: Would mewtwo and Lilly find reggae music amusing? XD
A81: I really want to know what inspired you to ask about that genre specifically. I'm gonna say Liliy might have a good time with it, Mewtwo would probably be intrigued by the rhythms but then grow bored. (I honestly don't know THAT much about reggae music, which is a shame because I probably should aldkjfalkdf)
Q82: How would mewtwo do if he had to babysit little kids? Like age 6 or so
A82: Honestly, that's probably his worst nightmare. He'd beg for Lilly to help him. (You bet I'm gonna make a comic about this)
Q83: Did Arceus heal mewtwo and Lilly's bullets in their body?
A83: I also wondered that when I was writing, but yep those are gone! But luckily, Lilly didn't have any bullets actually (this will matter later). That beam she was hit with was purely "negative energy" (that's probably not really a thing, but, i'm not a physicist, hehe)
Q84: If Lilly and mewtwo went on vacation in winter, would they go skiing or on a sleigh ride? what about summer would they go to the beach and do something?
A84: Lilly's happy to go anywhere, as long as it's with her Pokémon! Mewtwo normally doesn't really like the beach (or being in bright sunlight for that matter, as you saw early in the fic), but he might warm up to it after some convincing! He'd much prefer a winter vacation. Will definitely revisit this once my art skills are more consistent, or write about it :-)
Sorry for not being super interactive this week. Without pulling my personal life into it I've been trying to make a big life decision recently and it's been kind of taking up all my emotional energy. But reading your reviews really makes me smile, thank you all for leaving them ;-;
Q85: Oooh, I see, did Lilly not tell mewtwo about her plan because of what she mentioned in the first chapters about not liking asking for help or being afraid of it and thinking she has to do everything alone?
A85: Yes, right! With losing her parents (she's still not 100% sure what happened though) and her Pokémon (Meganimum), she feels like those were indirectly her fault and blames herself. But another big factor was because she felt that if he was involved in any way, he'd end up being taken/killed like she saw in her vision ◡̈
Q86: Oooooo I wonder why she is cold! This chapter felt...just as rested as Lilly and mewtwo, in a good way, like finally things are starting to look up. Looking forward to next update next week.
A86: Writing this chapter was also relaxing, I was like "wow thank god they finally get a second to chill!" Those two really needed a break, lol.
Q87: The change of perspectives in one chapter provide a nice change, feels dynamic in some way. Great work as usual! :)
A87: Thanks :-) I was worried that it would come off clunky, I'm glad to hear it was effective~
Q88: Yaaaay new chapter! finally! this fic made my week!
A88: Aw thank you ;-; that means a lot!
Q89: Just wanted to say thank you so much for everything,and hope you have a great and meaningful life! Wish you the best!:D
A89: Wahh no I'm terrible with goodbyes ;-; haha. There will be more content in the future, I hope this ending will keep you waiting for it :-) Also, side note, if any of you ever want to interact with me between fics, please use the social media platforms I have on my profile page! I would love to hear more thoughts there.
Q90/91: So is this the same Lilly from Alola or is this a new character you pulled out of your ass? Just wondering because your story is lacking the tag and I want to make sure. Nevermind, read your profile summary. Apologies for the rude remark. Most of my experience in Pokémon has been in Unova and Alola. Kanto and Johto are still in the completion stage for me. That, and I am up at 4 in the morning writing this.
A90/91: Profanity? In MY reviews? I'm shook, I really have no idea who my audience is here haha. Also, you're making me feel so Old with that remarks about not having played Kanto/Johto games and the "I am up at 4 in the morning," both absolutely clocked me. But I recognize your username now from another review, hope you're enjoying :-) feel free to (gently) hit me with more questions as they come!
Q92: Ending?! Won't there be 2 or 3 chapters more?!
A92: YES sorry, I meant the "soon to be coming" ending lol.
Q93: Will we get to hear the full music playlist when the story finishes?
A93: Unfortunately, not until the next part of the fic finishes. I have music that is relevant to those events and ummmm they're definitely spoilers hehe
Q94: When mewtwo picks Lilly up is sooooo cuuute!
A94: I also melted, love them so much uwu
Q95: How do mewtwo and Lilly celebrate their birthdays?
A95: Lilly likes having a party with her closest friends, though this miiiiight change soon. Mewtwo doesn't ever want to do anything for his birthday, but Lilly still makes sure to at least acknowledge it.
Q96: Will mewtwo and Lilly be traveling to other regions in the future?
A96: YES and you'll see very soon, huhu
Q97: What developments can we expect from mewtwo and Lilly in the future or like things from them?
A97: This i question and I don't want to spoil anything too soon ... you'll thank me later, I promise!
Q98: Hoping for one more slightly angsty chapter between mewtwo and Lilly (fingers crossed) good thing she finally reunited with her team and included mewtwo in the family, this might be the beginning of a new start...
A98: It's ironic you say that, for reasons that will soon be revealed...
Q99: You know when Mewtwo got angry at Lilly and left her, it really got me thinking about something interesting that when he thought she lied to him, Mewtwo thought she was someone else at that moment and perhaps he left her because he didn't actually lover HER but loved an IDEA of her, which is why he didn't try to understand her or show compassion, I think when he apologized for leaving her he sort of realized this. And also was wondering in the future will Mewtwo and Lilly's love continue to be explored in the next part? Cause there seems to be a lot of room for it to grow...
A99: That's an interesting take, I hadn't thought of it that way. BUT, it was totally not the intended angle. When Lilly "lied," she purposely came up with the something she knew would sever ties, which was to make him feel used. Being used is kind of a deep-seated trauma for Mewtwo (think back to his creation and his "partnership" with Giovanni). Unfortunately for Lilly, she didn't realize how well it would work.
I think something I didn't explain too well in this fic (that I tried to have Mewtwo touch on in this chapter) is that he sees a little bit of himself in Lilly. Though Lilly had parents, she didn't really know them. There's another similarity that I can't put into words too well right now, but hopefully it'll come to me soon and I'll come back here and address it.
Q100: Would Lilly ever request Mewtwo to sleep with him one night in fear of losing him again or for comfort of what happened?
A100: Ok first of all, how'd we get all the way to 100? You guys are awesome! And I think it's very likely she'll do that ◡̈
Q101: In the first chapters I really wouldn't have imagined Mewtwo saying something like "it's okay to cry" he has really come a long way, I guess he learned that to be strong you have to be soft, also I bet Lilly really regrets now not wanting Mewtwo at the beginning of the story haha, she loves him so much now.
A101: That's exactly what he learned! I'm such a fan of that arc. As for the second part, he WAS kind of a jerk in the beginning, I personally think she was right to feel that way! lol
Q102: Freeeench toooast! I really want one now! Nice touch to Lilly's character, does mewtwo have a favorite sweet treat or something?
A102: Not yet, but let's hope he gets one soon!
Q103: Something must be up if Lilly is not hungry right?
A103: Nah she's good, her body's just all out of whack due to recent events.
Q104: Would mewtwo forgive Lilly like she forgave him for being sooooo mean and bad if she messed up again? Or would he leave her again?
A104: I don't think Lilly ever wants to do something like that again after what just happened, she learned her lesson lol.
Q105: Will Lilly develop PTSD after everything? Will Mewtwo get overprotective of her?
A105: Mewtwo's definitely going to be overprotective for the foreseeable future, I think Lilly will always be deeply affected by what happened but it won't be detrimental in terms of day to day life ... for now
Q106: What would be Lilly's height in meters?
A106: I'll give you all the measurements! 140cm, 1.4m, 4' 7'' ! She's still got some growing to do, lol.
Q107: Mewtwo does not seem to be reading Lilly's mind as much as before...did something change?
A107: I was about to refer you to something he said in the previous chapter, but then I remembered that I had to split them in two so it's actually in this upcoming chapter! Your question will be answered in a few days ◡̈
Q108: How was Mewtwo affected by what happened with Giovanni and Lilly?
A108: He just hopes that Lilly is less naive about him than she was before (which obviously she is, Giovanni literally was about to kill Mewtwo with his own hands).
Q109: What sense of humor do you think Mewtwo has? And Lilly?
A109: Mewtwo's sense of humor is very blunt, whereas Lilly loves to laugh. Other than that, I can't really tell you what makes Mewtwo laugh. I've never seen him laugh except at pokemon or people he was about to beat, haha. BUT I think he laughs when Lilly trips (first making sure she's okay).
Q110: What does Mewtwo think of love now that he knows what it is?
A110: He thinks it's a powerful force! But it's all new to him, so he's still figuring it out.
Q111: Will Lilly and Mewtwo's love continue to grow?
A111: Yeah, of course! They still have a lot to learn about each other.
Q112: Did Mewtwo sent the microwave to Jupiter to amuse himself? Cause I thought it was hilarious! XD
A112: Honestly it was kind of out of panic (he was also scared of the microwave!), but afterward he thought it was funny that he chose Jupiter.
Q113:
A113: Just realized that this review is from my "Anti LGBT" reader, and since it is Gay Wrath Month (aka, gay pride but angry) I've chosen to no longer answer their reviews! Anybody else claiming to be anti-LGBT *OR* not in support of BLM will also be blocked™. This is not a space for discrimination~~~
Q114: Slight weird question but What would be Mewtwo's favorite eye color? And Lilly's?
A114: Hm... (this is probably the most difficult question for me to unbiased when answering LOL) I don't think Mewtwo has a *favorite*, but I will say that he does love the color of Lilly's eyes. Lilly's favorite eye color is actually yellow! (She loves Rayquaza's eyes haha)
Q115: What is Silver planning? What does he know about Lilly? And why is he concerned? So many questions since this is strange...has his father told him what happened or something? Did Giovanni lie to Silver so he could help "save" Lilly from Mewtwo or something like that?
A115: huhuhuhuhuhuh...
To T: Over the last two weeks, I did a lot of thinking and also asked other fanfic writers for their experience on this, and I got a wide range of answers from "you need to be more tolerant" to ... the other extreme. If you knew me in real life, I think many would tell you that I'm capable of respecting most opinions. But when it comes to "opinions" on other humans in this respect, it's ... no longer an opinion. I do not feel that I should have to state on my profile "I think all people deserve to love who they choose and be who they want."
While I hold no anger toward you and never did, I feel uncomfortable interacting with you as before not because "wah, they don't agree with me" but because at this point in my life and with the current climate, I'm a little afraid of people who disagree with the above statement. If you become open to changing your view at any point in the future, I'll be happy to provide some perspective, but as things are now please do not continue to interact directly with me.
(To everybody else, sorry for dragging you through this mini-crisis I had, and thank you for understanding.)
Q116 (left by Moon): O
A116: Glad I left you speechless with that last chapter, lol!
Q117: I am liking where this is heading, I also love the tragedy and irony of it. I wonder what will it become of Mewtwo and Lilly now that it's just them? So epic.
A117: Thanks so much! This ending is uncharted territory for me (like this didn't exist a few weeks ago) and was supposed to be a LOT simpler! But I figured I'd start the process of weaving in plot points that occur much later...
Q118: I think it's one of the few instances we have seen Mewtwo and Lilly argue which makes their relationship feel more close and believable, like it's evolving too. Overall a very complete chapter.
A118: (HAHA they said EVOLVING) Thanks! I think it also serves as a good reminder that Lilly is 12 and therefore kind of not thinking about the "long-term consequences" of some of her actions.
Q119: You are going to leave us in a cliffhanger, wanting the sequel?! DON'T BE SOOO CRUUEL! XDXD
A119: I know I'm the worst, so sorry ㅠㅠㅠㅠ (crying emoji in Korean)
Q120: I think Giovanni is just misunderstood, even if he is a jerk XD also love your art, what more can we expect from it?
A120: huhu, all will be revealed next week (well...not all, but some) and thank you! I'm not posting every day but I am working hard to get better at sketching so I can do the following:
- roleplays (like "ask Lilly / Mewtwo" or whatever, requests from readers, etc)
- fan art (there are some scenes/moments that I absolutely want to go back and draw, for example, that Lilly/Arceus hybrid that was in the beginning)
- (this is WAY in the future) I might want to start drawing out entire chapters, webcomic-style! Of course, I'd write out the chapters first before drawing them, but I think I could tell this story so much better with visuals (once I get good at them).
Kind of along that vein, and I know this isn't what you asked, but I'm considering writing future content in the "third person" (Lilly did this) rather than "first" (I did this). I don't know what other fic writers are doing, I think the only other fics I've read are also in the third person? I'm considering this for the same reasons as above, I feel like I could get more descriptive and whatnot.
Q121: Mewtwo keeps underestimating Giovanni, I think he is wrong and Giovanni knew Mewtwo changed and would not hurt Silver like mewtwo himself said...cause he did express concern for his son when Mewtwo mentioned he would hunt down his child...
A121: Intuitive! You'll hear more about this next week.
Q122: So now we can expect chapters on thursdays instead of Wednesdays?
A122: Honestly it really just depends on my mental state/how busy I am during the week since these chapters aren't actually written yet. I want to tell you "no it'll still be Wednesday" but at this point, I think Thursday might just work better for me overall!
Q123: "She is imperfect but beautiful" sooo adorable! My heart!
A123: I know I'm going to rewrite that line in the future, but I didn't know how to this time without taking away from the simplicity of that feeling!
Q124: When will Lilly learn that everytime she makes a decision alone things go wrong, I understand she is a kid though and also it's true Mewtwo can get too aggressive and she wouldn't like that , it has me wondering, does Lilly actually trusts Mewtwo, in what ways does she trust him and in what ways she does not?
A124: Yeah she's a kid and not thinking ahead about this kind of thing! She trusts him with her, but she's kind of still learning about his traumas / what really affects him.
Q125: I feel so bad for Silver :(
A125: I almost feel obligated to apologize.
Q126: Mewtwo totally feels like the adult scolding a child XD
A126: Well she IS a child! Haha. But I have no idea how "old" Mewtwo is, I think he just prefers that role. But how long did it take to make Mewtwo? Anybody got an answer on that?
I hope some of this was helpful! Feel free to write more reviews / send messages if you want to see them answered here. Thanks!
(In case I get more questions I'm leaving this at the bottom.)**ALSO** will be uploading that art to the instagram / twiitter pages mentioned in A41 soon, give one of them a follow if you want to see more of that! I may end up deleting one page if one is more popular than the other.
