Loopy replied to the topic Putting Yourself in your Characters? in the forum Characters 3 years, 10 months ago
@freedomwriter76 Ooo this is a cool topic! I’m pretty sure every writer on the planet does this (wether they realize it or not). It’s part of what makes stories interesting. The readers can see parts of themselves or parts of people they know in the characters they read about.
I definitely do this because a lot of my characters have adhd like…[Read more]

Carter
“Sorry, guys, for ditching you all. I just ah,” The curly haired woman said, addressing everyone. “I don’t know what is going on either and I needed to do something. Maybe if we can get to that castle, thing, we can get some answers.”
“Oh, you’re all good.” Simon answered. (I am…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy That’s what I said. But that doesn’t stop us from putting weird stuff like an entire forest inside the castle.😏 Just kidding, that’d be a lil too crazy. (I do like my cave system idea from earlier tho…)

@mineralizedwritings
I love this and I could totally see it as a graphic novel! I definitely want to read more💕 I also really appreciate that you’re acknowledging the harm that divorce causes. That isn’t addressed very much in modern media. -
Loopy replied to the topic Character Castle! in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 10 months ago
Yay! I’m glad you like the idea! My characters could probably take care of Evelyn if it doesn’t take a large amount of medical knowledge. They’d certainly be willing to.
I think they already have an obstacle because the castle is pretty much a never ending maze and there are a few villains roaming around that we could bump…[Read more]

@lightoverdarkness @mineralizedwritings
That’s funny that they all each have a missing sister 😆. Would you guys want to maybe add all the sisters in a separate group later? Then our characters would all have a goal (finding their sibling) to complete before we take them out of the castle. We don’t have to, though.

@lightoverdarkness6 That’s not very long, actually. You should see some of the things freedom and godlyfantasy have written 😆. The longer ones are the most fun to read anyway. @theloonyone @mineralizedwritings

Dante
Chaos erupted between the two groups. Ellie ran to her sister. Kad shot into the air. Kursk, Bucky, and Steve jumped into action, fighting off the two armored men. Reuben had disappeared.
Dante used the opportunity to slip into the ship without being noticed. He walked swiftly across the main room and climbed…[Read more]

Simon
As the two boys ran closer, Simon saw that there were four people: three boys, one girl.
“Hello!” Carter called out once they were close enough to be heard.
Three of the new people who had had their backs to them spun around. Simon and Carter ran the last few yards and stopped in fro…[Read more]

@lightoverdarkness6 Yeah! I like the idea of it being in the early 1900’s. Lots of opportunities for cool outfits and hairstyles 😊

Loopy replied to the topic Book Ideas!! in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 10 months ago
@lightoverdarkness6 That’s a really cool idea! I like it a lot so far. Is it set somewhat in the past or in a different country? I’m asking because orphanages are pretty rare in modern day America and most of the time the foster care system is used instead.

Loopy posted an update 3 years, 10 months ago
I think I just realized something! Ellie, my lil alien character, is probably a bit autistic!
Reasons:
-She almost always tenses up or jumps when she hears loud noises
– She flicks her tail around a lot (stimming)
-Often needs her sister’s help when talking to new people
-Likes having very detailed plans and strategies and gets frustrated when h…[Read more] -

Ellie
The sound of someone approaching startled Ellie and she spun around, gun in hand.
“NO! Don’t hit her again!”
A man held up his hands in defense. “Wait! I’m not going to hurt you…I’m going to help you…please…let me help you help her…”
The man was now kneeling so that they were eye to eye. Ellie studied his fac…[Read more]

Ellie yelled and ran to her. She had fallen forward and now lay on her stomach in the grass. Ellie rolled her over and propped her head…[Read more]

@keilah-h Yeah Dante is like a cyclops. His one eye is kinda his defining feature, so I am very disappointed in myself for forgetting about it. Here’s a drawing of him by @avablue

Cool!!
So I originally thought Paxton had a bit of autism as well, but it turns out it’s actually just severe Child PTSD. Because PTSD can actually Resemble Autism, (I found an article on this I believe I put the link in character castle somewhere)
So yea! But in extreme cases of an onslaught of bad memories or emotions, Paxton will h…[Read more]
@godlyfantasy12 You mentioning that about Paxton in the castle is actually what made me start thinking about it! The PTSD and autism overlap is really interesting. I really enjoy learning about psychology and things like that.
