When you get so used to saying awful things about someone who hurt your friend, you might not think about who else is around when you say them.
-
Ouch!!! My bleeding heart. Am I really that old? (Don't answer that!) Kids these days...

This is the answer. Jake doesn't live in Donora, he lives in Mon City. The two are close to each other along the river. Aiden also lived in Mon City, which is why he rode his bike along the road to get back and forth between the towns. Danny lives in the same wealthy neighborhood the Taylors did where Dustin got arrested. They'd all be in the same fictional school district. (They're in the same district in real life too, but "Mon Valley High" is like "California University" in that it might resemble a place but it's fictionalized to protect the innocent.)

"My temper was nothing compared to some of the epic explosions Brett had been known to unleash. There was a reason he’d been kicked out of private school. If I was a firecracker, he was a nuclear bomb when he got mad. He was especially known for throwing things when he lost his temper. But while I would stay mad Brett would get over it fairly quickly. He always felt terrible about it afterward." - WAR 1.3 Morning at Grandma's House Young Brett could be a vicious little brat.

One person's "slut" is another person's "player."
-
I agree in a way, sure. A label applied to another vs. a label claimed for oneself... Interesting.
-
Are you saying the boys tend to dislike anyone who becomes a challenge to their relationship with the other?
-
We haven't even scratched the surface on what sexuality, attraction, and gender truly are. We're at the level of looking at the sun and saying it revolves around the Earth kind of understanding. I'm a continuum thinker myself, which probably comes through my writing. My characters tend to be "heteronormative acting." We're all on that scale somewhere, and few of us stay fixed in one place. Resistance to labels is kind of a Gen X (of which I'm a part) specialty.
-
It's my pleasure to do it. Takes my mind off of things. As for the boys, well, relationships are complicated!
-
"Some of my best friends are gay/black." Yep. Ironic that a kid who once peed on a teacher's desk in front of the whole class has now become the teacher.
-
The answers lie ahead!
-
That's my red flag right there .Jake and Danny had two sexual encounters and in both cases Danny has a GF within a week after it happens.Not a coincidence Nope, not a coincidence at all!
-
Thanks! I think I started to find my groove in this chapter. Brett always appreciated the classics, Billy was the metal head.
-
And you gave me those sweet, sweet comments!
-
That's because Billy was telling it. Billy, who had to tell you every thought going through his head... 😛
-
That was the case, a rather "gnarly" scar at that according to young Mr. Reilly!
-
He might be little bit, for sure. But it is more than that!
-
If only... That's why we write, my friend!
-
Bless your heart! You can probably tell I was a band geek myself, from 4th grade through five years of college!
-
Definitely some connections to the past, without it being necessary to have read them to enjoy them. If you read WAR, you get a kick out of knowing exactly what someone might be referring to, but you don't need to know the details to enjoy what's going on, that's why I didn't make this WAR Part 9. I want it to be its own story, even if the old characters have their own story.
-
LOL There is an old saying, "Not all tropes are bad!" 😀
-
There is A Link to the Past, for sure!
-
Breath of the Wild may have literally saved my life during a particularly bad episode. It is amazing if you lie a sandbox game.
-
Adventurous, you say?
-
THAT'S NOT TRUE!!!!! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!
