My initial inspiration was actually cmbyn yourself! Both the movie and book sort of served as reference, and I also just developed ideas on where to go from there. I also took a lot of inspiration from my own personal strifes and feelings with a situationship I had w/ someone I could not have, and projected a lot of my own feelings of desire & insecurity onto the story lol. And as for my chiaroscuro thoughts in generql…whew…I have so many that it would honestly be easier to be asked specific things since its too much. I can do a character breakdown/analysis if you’d like! I feel like it would be helpful too for the sequel I will write soon.
