Lisa answers “What are your thoughts of fanfiction? On...”

Kiana Noelle asked this question about Red Rising (Red Rising Saga, #1):

What are your thoughts of fanfiction? On the upper levels, what's to stop colors from mixing and making babies? Does color also pertain to skin, or do darker pigments not exist in your world? (It's just hair and eyes though, right?) Do similar hierarchies exist on Earth since they don't need the helium mined there? How do Pinks procreate? With other Pinks? How are Violets raised and used?

Lisa so the different colors are biologically different enough that unless their is modification, there cant be children conceived by two different colors.…moreso the different colors are biologically different enough that unless their is modification, there cant be children conceived by two different colors. this is explained in the later books. i think its the same hierarchy on earth because its already kind of universal, and there are many more colors than just red that will still have necessary roles. i think in the past there were not but now there are. pinks are created by lab, and violets are given drugs to induce hallucinations in order to fuel their creativity for the rest of their lives. the way many of the colors are raised is very manipulative with a concrete goal and purpose, like how the pinks have the (i think its called like the angels kiss or something?) its like pain that they have to endure their entire early life, and its what they fear and how they are controlled during after this first phase of life. so the diferances in color is not only color, if you read the book, their entire bodys are purposed soley for their roles, and are all completely diferant, and im not sure if their inablitly to (cross breed? not sure what it would be called) is a side effect of that or if its and addition that was made on purpose, im guessing it would be the second one because of how mixing colors would be illegal (which you would need a carver to help with) so yea(less)
