No Longer Canon Tag

@sleepy-night-child nightfriend<3 I'll be jumping on this one since it sounded like a lot of fun and also, time for melancholy:') they did say that thinking back to how it started rekindled your love for a wip, and they were right

Of course, leaving it open!

Also I'll be doing this from memory because most of draft 1 is lost to the wind 🤣

Anne loathed Heaven. She felt trapped there, and disdained the angels for keeping her from what she loved -> this did a perfect 180 turn and in happened in the first three chapters of draft 1, no questions asked hahaha

She also returned to her original Aspect of Wisdom at the end, to show how she changed and wouldn't stand with them anymore

The entire plot of the sick star and how it died -> actually, in the beginning Anne took care of a cloudfield, not the starfield, before I realized exactly what the stars were to the angels

The Mother mysteriously vanished in the first few chapters and never came back after she nearly got killed by Anne. This didn't even make it into draft 1, she got too powerful 🤣

There was supposed to be much more emphasis on the Aspects and how humans relate to vices and sins... but it wasn't the right book for that kind of philosophy

The entire Hroa plot and how Anne nearly got sacrificed and was too scared to return to Heaven because to them it wasn't much of a thing and she wasn't doing her duty (funny how beliefs work)

That said, with Hroaviu removed, there's no more angel-hunters in Heaven because I got a better, more at hand idea that's more unsettling hahahaha I'm happy with that one:')

The angels' exodus and founding of Heaven was going to be a bigger thing. Demons too, as an ideology, now that I remember🤔

Imera now survives

Also there were going to be a lot more star and angel stories Anne told Tyrone, but... 🤣 this obviously couldn't work as a format unless it got impossibly long *and* wrecked the flow of the present-time plot

Rewind was going to actually function as magic and influence the plot, but it worked better subtly and from the background

The stars had an honest-to-God conversation with Tyrone at the end

Another lil plot of Anne and Malchior teaming up in the past times and infiltrating a shady establishment for his chapter instead of the Abel-fueled madness it is nowadays

Tyrone doesn't abandon Anne at the end
