Questions for Nicholas 

1. Wassup? And how have you been with your trauma??

Nicholas: Nothing much. What trauma? I don't have any, but thanks for asking anyway. I'm fine. 

2. Baby WHO HURT YOU. 

Nicholas: Um, did you just call me… baby? 

3. Which Hogwarts house is he in and why?

Nicholas: No idea. Haven't watched the movies or read the books. 

Author: I feel like he doesn't fit any of the houses 😭 Like maybe slytherin just because he's got a bad temper. But he might also be Gryffindor because he's got good intentions? Hm I'm honestly not sure cz I'm not very familiar with the houses.

4. Least favorite smell?

Nicholas: Beer and cigarettes.

5. Favorite animal?

Nicholas: Cats. I want a cat. Someone get me a cat.

Questions for Valentino  

1. If he could do ANYTHING for a day, what would he do?

Valentino: I'd bash Nicholas's head against a wall to show him how much it actually hurts.

Just kidding! I wouldn't waste my time on him!

I would sleep. Like a full night's sleep. Being able to actually relax at night and get some good sleep... Mmm, a dream. I wish.

I've had insomnia for so long I forgot what it's like to be normal. Even my sleeping pills aren't as effective anymore.

Anyway, something else I'd do is assemble furniture with Albert. It was his mini job and I used to tag along and help. Good memories, everything was peaceful back then. And I love anything that has to do with building things, it's why I used to be obsessed with legos as a kid.

2. Has Milo ever gotten mad at him and why?

Valentino: Yeah, when Milo was a little kid. He doesn't even remember it. I didn't just make him mad at me. I made him sob. And the worst part is I did it on purpose. It was the first time I saw Albert genuinely angry. 

Thanks for the question by the way! I love remembering one of the worst days of my life.

Author: I screamed when I saw the question cz it's so important! There's a full chapter in the prequel that depicts this incident. You'll know what Valentino did to make Milo mad/cry when I post it <3 

3. If he were a mythical creature, what creature would he be?

Valentino: I don't know. Why would I think about that? 

Author: I feel like he might be a kitsune! He kind of reminds me of a fox lol, that's why. 

Oh and this reminds me, Nicholas (as a character, with the same personality and backstory) used to be the main character of another fantasy story I was planning and he was going to turn into a dragon by the end of the book!😂 but I realized I didn't like writing fantasy a lot so I abandoned the idea

4. What's your favorite food?😂 

Valentino: Hmm. Pancakes probably. Why?

Questions for Albert
 

1. I'm curious. Is he a golden retriever boy or black cat boy?

Albert: I've really never thought about that. I'm not even sure I understand?

Author: I feel like he's neither, or a mix of both. He's reallyyy calm and reserved, so that's a bit of black cat energy. He's also friendly and playful (at times), but not enough to have golden retriever energy.

2. How did he come to know Milo (was he always into gardening?)?

Albert: My dad used to be Milo's family's gardener. I used to help him every now and then ‘cause I've always liked gardening too. It's really calming and I think it's it might've helped me develop patience. Yeah so that's how I met Milo! While I was working with my dad in his garden. I've known him since he was a little baby. 

3. Fav color?

Albert: Green.

Questions for Milo

1. Baby why r u comin at Nicholas? He's trying to help you bro! But also, what prank would you totally pull on him?

Milo: Okay sorry! I know he's trying to help now. Sorry, Nicholas.

Nicholas: It's okay. You don't have to apologize.

Milo: Anyway. So a prank I'd pull on him? Easy! Bleach my hair and put in some blue contact lenses. That's more than enough to scare the shit out of him! 

Nicholas: I take that back. I want an apology. Right now.

Milo: Sorry...

2. Favorite snakc

Milo: Cheese and crackers.

3. Did you enjoy being in the book?

Milo: Not at all, except the last few peaceful moments I had with Valentino and Albert. These were nice. Otherwise I wish none of this happened.

4. I feel like he likes super heroes. Fav hero?

Milo: Iron-man! Spider-man is my second favorite.

Questions for Julian

1. Have you gotten therapy yet?

Julian: Therapy? Why would I get therapy? I don't need it! You know who needs it? Valentino! That little shit needs it. Actually, even therapy can't fix him!

Valentino: ??? 

Julian: I hope you like the new scar on your stomach :)

Valentino: And you wonder why she asked if you've gotten therapy yet.

Julian: I hope no one loves you and cares for you for the rest of your life.

Valentino: Oh my God...

2. lf you were describe Julian as an animal, which animal would he be?

Julian: Don't compare me to animals pleeeeeease!

Author: Julian is an orange cat 1000%
 
3. If Julian could have anything in the world. (People, object, relive a moment) what would he choose?

Julian: When I threw myself down the hill and Nicholas saved me! I want to have that moment again. I wanna relive it over and over and over again! Best feeling ever, hahaha… 

4. How do you feel that you killed your parents and also how do you feel about going to a nice safe mental hospital where people love you and want you to recover?

Julian: Hmm? I killed them? Who said that? Why would you accuse me of that? I don't like it when people accuse me of something I didn't do. 

I only blinded them and broke their legs! And I left them and locked the door. They died on their own ‘cause of the blood loss! 

See? I didn't kill them, hahaha…

And who are the people who love me? Strangers that are only working there because they're getting paid? There's nothing wrong with me anyway. I don't need to recover.

5. DID YOU EVER CONSIDER THEATER??? (Fav musical and why)

Julian: Nope! I've never watched a musical! What even is that? Why the question? Do you think I'm dramatic? Theatrical? I'm not. Why would you think that?

Questions for me (author)

1. Do you plan on ever publishing a book?

Tbh I don't like the idea of publishing just because it'll make writing feel like a job and that takes out allllll the fun for me. I like the idea of writing as a hobby. Like for fun, because I enjoy it. Because I enjoy creating characters and events in my free time and seeing people's reaction to them. 

Also, I feel like when you publish a book, that's when you start getting real hate (like people trolling and nitpicking for no good reason. Constructive criticism doesn't count as hate! It's super helpful). Yeah and I can't handle that 😂 I would die from sadness I think if someone hated on my books/characters just to troll.

Speaking of hate, I just remembered that one hater that read ch.1 of Teenage Baby and started shitting on me and the book and saying it's bad and too disturbing and that I should delete it.

Then the next day that same hater comments "pls update i need to know what happens to Aaron and Leo" 😭😭😭😭

Anyway. Despite this, I've honestly considered self-publishing a few times because I'm ✨️struggling financially✨️ lol.

So IF I ever publish something, it would be the original version of Teenage Baby and this book! 

2. What's your fav animal?

Dogs! Puppies especially.

3. What was your favorite scene and character trope to write?

Favorite scene: Valentino's meltdown in ch.17!! Honestly I love how that scene turned out and I loved reading everyone's comments and reactions to it sooo much 😭❤️

Favorite character trope: Nicholas and Valentino's dynamic! It made writing this book so much fun, especially how their relationship developed.

What I really liked about them is that they were accidentally challenging each other's beliefs lol. Valentino always believed no one would help anyone in dire situations but Nicholas went out of his way to help Milo(throwing himself downhill to buy him time), and later even went out of his way to help Valentino himself(when Julian stabbed him). And Nicholas always  believed that people only help each other out of pure obligation. He always viewed relationships and helping other people as rigid transactions almost, you know? "I do this for you solely because you did this for me" type of mindset. But everything Valentino did for Albert and Milo was purely out of his love for them (and same applies to what they did for him), so that was confusing for Nicholas to understand.

(I could write an essay but I'll shut up now lol)

Also Julian was a great character. I love writing psycho but chill characters like that

4. If you could meet your characters and go anyway, or do anything with them, what would you do?

I would honestly just chill with them and thank them for distracting me during tough times! And yes I know that's cheesy but that's the first I'd want to do if I met them.

Having characters and stories in my head has always been an escape for me, ever since I was a kid. Whenever I'm sad, I immediately start daydreaming about my stories and developing characters and plots, and I always feel much better after that. 

I would also beg Albert to teach me his patience lol. Like what's your secret??? Tell me how do you not get angry easily? 

6. how do you feel having completed your sixth book on Wattpad (well fifth because Automation Era is on hold) — and how do you feel that you'll be getting served lawsuit documents within the next 3-5 business days for EMOTIONAL DISTRESS (also I love you and l'm proud of you!!)

It's absolutely insane to me that I've been writing one book per year since 2018 🤯 (I've been writing ever since I was a kid but I'm talking about my books on wattpad specifically). 

Omg nooooo sorry!! (Not really😛). I love you soooo much too!! Thank you so much your support means the world to me 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 

6. WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO US IN THE ENDING!?!??

I'm sorry I like making everyone suffer heheheh 🙈

 fr tho, I did that because I have a very, very loose idea/outline for a sequel, so I wanted to keep space for it in case I ever plan it properly and write it! <3 

7. How did you get the idea of this book?

I got the very first idea when I was watching demon slayer lol. The episode with the spider/web family. That's how I realized I wanna write something with a "family" concept. Another part of the inspiration was Teenage Baby, specifically Leo. I was rereading a scene with Leo and thought to myself "leo would make an interesting villain if he was evil/twisted"

Aaaand that's how Julian was born 😂

He's literally just a version of Leo who's sick of the abuse and will now force people to love him/care for him/do nice things for him (like dying for him💀)

8. Favorite chapter of this book?

Ch.17 (Valentino's meltdown) is my fave mostly because I like how his meltdown turned out!

9. Who's your least favorite character to write?

I love Julian as a character, but he's kind of a pain to write 😭

His scenes are always a little harder to write because of his personality. I have to pay attention really well to make sure I'm balancing his childish/playful side with his creepy side AND with his violent side.
