Heyo, my precious smol beans! Welcome to the VERY SPECIAL bonus episode of The Soulmate Paradox, otherwise known as *jazz hands* QnA with the author and characters! (In their 17-18 year old selves, thank you very much. Except me. I'm a fetus :3)
You asked, and we answered! Kinda. It took a lot of gentle persuasion, especially for some of the kids...
Gregory: You are aware that I'm literally three years older than you, right? And that's not even counting the extra two years in the Epilogue. Alex: can you please just cooperate for once it's been THREE HOURS Gregory: WELL IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU DECIDED TO DO THIS STUPID THING Alex: IT'S BONUS CONTENT FOR THE READERS, COME ON Gregory: YOU PUNCHED ME IN THE FACE Alex: WELL MAYBE IF YOU DIDN'T TRY TO KNEE ME IN THE GROIN--- Gregory: WELL MAYBE IF YOU DIDN'T TRY TO POINT A STUPID FUCKING CAMERA AND MICROPHONE AT MY FACE--- Alex: *throws table*
*chaos*
Jeong-Soon, from behind a sofa: We are experiencing technical difficulties, please stand by--- *gets hit by flying chair*
Q: Author, are you a sadist? Because you enjoy causing pain to your readers a lot, you troll! Alex: I don't know if I would consider myself a sadist. I mean, I definitely used to be when I was younger, but nowadays...I don't really like seeing people hurt, honestly. It makes me sad--- Gregory: *mad coughing fit* lies *cough* lieees *more coughing* Alex: OH SHUT UP I CAN ERASE YOU FROM EXISTENCE RIGHT NOW YOU KNOW
Q: Sully, can I be the third friend, please? Sully: no. Jeong-Soon: He, uh, doesn't really like people in general.
Q: Gregory, is there any chance of our one-sided friendship turning mutual? Also, will I ever receive a smile? Gregory: Um, no. I don't like friends. I don't need friends. Friends are annoying. And I don't smile for anyone. I don't smile, full stop. There is no one I smile for. I smile for no person. Jeong-Soon: I bought you the limited edition galaxy bomb glass dildo you wanted last week. Gregory: I smile for one person.
Q: Demeter, what does your name mean? Is there any reason why your parents chose this name? Demeter: Demeter is the name of the ancient Greek goddess of agriculture---Persephone's mother, if you will. That's pretty much the meaning. As for why my parents chose it...uh, my parents, actually, kinda didn't name me. That...kinda happens when one is born Darren. I chose the name for myself because A) I wanted something that began with the same letter as my deadname, and B) I saw a Tumblr post asking more parents to name their kids with Greek mythology names, and C) I'm a huge fan of Percy Jackson. Huge. Also, Demeter just sounded really cool. Super feminine. Great for passing. *laughs awkwardly*
Q: Marilyn, do you mind the nickname Balloon Tits? I quite like it. Marilyn: In all honesty, I do mind. It's quite hurtful because it does sometimes feel like I'm nothing more than my chest, with my mother earlier and now this. But I'm okay with it, because I knew Gregory needed time, and during that time...*shrugs* well, sacrifices must be made.
