Me: breathes in heavily to calm down "So is Leonardo a child prostitute? OR does he service kids? (tbh not sure which answer I hate more)
It's complicated. He is underaged (16) and works at a really dingey strip club called the Den. He services old men, though. He chose to work there and is protected by some of the older sex workers. The city of lost children is a cum joke.
Ahhhh righto, btw not criticising your idea I perfectly understand that people write characters in messed up situations to write compelling work, not dissing you. Hope you get some good shit out of it.
haha, that's okay lol. His whole plots kinda fucked, but that just means I can apply my problem solving skills! Characters in messed up situation hooks the reader in to root for them, and that makes it really easy to fuck with their feeling (I learnt this the hard way, reading The Outsiders 😭)
