They're also witches.

When they meet, they develop magical powers.

And I was like, well, I literally have to read these.

But, like, I don't want to tell...

my grandma that I'm reading a book about, like, two teenage girls that are, like, have magical powers and like boys.

And also, I don't want to carry this book around at school.

And so I think that's when I started editing a little bit.

Because I think I knew it was speaking to something.

I think I was also probably starting to realize, like, because I also was, I was a pretty effeminate child.

So, like, at this point, I was already getting called gay.

So I think this was all kind of, like, interwoven.

I remember in Twitches, I think I changed their gender.

I think I made them both boys.

I think I changed their powers.

I think I said that one could move things with their mind and that one was like strong.

I was like, I'll change these details because they don't affect the plot.

And I, so I was like, I'm not going to change the plot.

I'm just going to change like the details around it to make it like a little bit more mask.

Like it's going to be, instead of like being able to passively stop it through like clairvoyance and telepathy, it's like they use their like physical powers of telekinesis and strength.

Uh, no.
