Sometimes I think ppl forget how powerful Armands mental powers are??? Like you could see him across a room and forget any last lover/darling you had because he has you looking upon him and has you WANTING him. He can make a vampire unable to move or speak for a long period of time if he so wishes for them to just Shut The Fuck Up. He can create an illusion for the other to imagine the two of them in a field of flowers rather than just sitting in an airplane in reality. He can sense and speak into another’s mind from blocks away in a city. Ancients who can penetrate the minds of others cant even TRY to read his thoughts. Like…this tiny lil bean sprout is packing serious power and people underestimate it because he’s young and looks too sweet/pure. Which is a common thing in the books and leaves everyone surprised when he finally gets tired of their shit and unleashes.
Well, unless you are going to only write stories in which nice things happen to nice people, you are going to write stories in which people who do not believe what you believe show up, just like they do in the world. And in which bad things happen, just as they do in the world. And that’s hard.
And if you are going to write awful people, you are going to have to put yourself into their shoes and into their head, just as you do when you write the ones who believe what you believe. Which is also hard.
I think that knowing what you believe, writing fiction informed by what you believe, and knowing that your fiction has a moral grounding (if it does) is the best thing for an author. And not worrying about what readers think of you, any more than you’d worry about what your parents or lovers might think if they read your fiction.
It’s something that I thought a lot about a long time ago, when one young man killed his lover, and then killed himself, and tried to frame Sandman (and me) for it. And the conclusion I came to was that you have to be good in your heart with what you’ve written. And beyond that, you cannot worry.

Zendaya is wearing a sleeveless luminous yellow gown whose light glows upward like flame, an earring in the shape of a miniature Raphael painting, purple eyeshadow, and pink lipgloss. Zendaya’s dark hair is pulled into a bun. The background is a gradient of warm tan and soft blue.]
