Cat Eyes || Tomtord

Q&A (Part 2)

Questions about the book

If Tom didn't fall asleep that night, he would have waited for the next night. If he had never fallen asleep, Tord would likely have never gone to die. Tord would have eventually gotten happier and stopped feeling guilty, but he left too soon for that.

Had Edd or Matt noticed him up, he would have made an excuse and gone back to bed, then tried again another night. If that continued to happen, he would try to find another way out, like through the window.

The police are weary of him but don't bother him too much because they're the ones who shot his boyfriend.

Yes, they made up after their argument. I tried to imply that they did when Tom was looking for Tord and they were sleeping in the same bed but I think I might not have described that.

Questions containing spoilers

No, Tord wouldn't have any of his old wounds, nor discoloured eyes. But he would keep a certain trait that makes up most of his character design.

Questions about the author

That's it so far. My favourite is the duck feather that has that blue-y side and white tip.

These are all ideas for Tomtord books that I'm never going to write, except for possibly #3, but that'll be in a while, so I don't mind if anyone seeks inspiration from this.

1. Tord dies in The End and begins to haunt Tom. He says rude things to him and eventually sees that Tom is becoming depressed. Tord'd say something like, "You're stupid," and Tom would reply with, "Yeah, I'm so dumb." Then he'd see that he's hurting him and tries to stop. Or not because he's an asshole and hey, "if I go down, you're coming with me."

2. Before or after The End, I didn't decide, Tord uses gaslighting to trick Tom into dating him and going insane or whatever because he's an asshole.
gas·light
ˈɡaslīt
verb
manipulate (someone) by psychological means into questioning their own sanity.

3. Based on the book "The Alice Network" and Louise De Bettignies's life. Tom becomes an undercover spy and goes into the red army base after it takes over the world. Blah blah blah, Tord, not knowing he's Tom, is attracted to him.

Announcements

So the sequel. I've started writing it. Now don't get your hopes up just yet. I'm not in a comfortable enough position with it to start a posting schedule, but I did promise myself that I would post the first part on Halloween. Wether I decide to start frequently publishing or not then, I don't know, but what I do know is that the first (and possibly second) chapter will be posted on October 31. That is, of course, unless something happens then, preventing me from uploading.

The Q&A is no longer open.

Next, I have decided to make a one-shot book of Tomtord. It's published already so if you're interested then you can go look. I made it mainly to entertain you people as you wait for the sequel. There won't be anything related to this book in it, so you really don't have to if you're only interested in this book.
