Also, I’m undecided on this, but Felicity might have a very minor physical disability with some long term frostbite damage from her childhood. (Ironic and very on the nose, I know)

@whalekeeper In my published books? Plenty! Mostly because they were written for kids with special needs. My main character has a speech impediment, and each of his friends has something different: colorblindness, deafness, one uses a wheelchair, and one has sensory issues.

In my fanfics? Not too many, admittedly. Most of my characters are…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

That’s a good question. I have plenty of mentally disabled characters, but I never really thought about how many physically disabled characters I had.

I’m realizing now that I only have one, but they’re a major spoiler.

I may also have one more to if chronic illnesses count. But also spoilers, lol.

I used to have a half deaf, half…[Read more]

“I don’t want you to defeat them. I want you to realize you have free will. Why did you kill those men? Because someone else told you to, I bet. That’s not brave. That’s following orders. So the Agents are going to find you and kill you. The day you die is inevitable. Fine. So you’re free. You can’t change that fact, so do whatever the h…[Read more]

This is very random but I was talking with my brother this afternoon, and KP came up. He asked me if any of y’all have physically disabled characters and if so, what are they like?

Does anyone have a physically disabled main or side character? What is their disability and what is the character’s role in the story?

He rocked back, straightening to his full height. “I am not a coward. I have been fighting and killing grown men since I was thirteen. The Agents cannot be defeated. I know it because I have seen others try.”

@ellette-giselle

Dante 

Dante grinned at him. “So you’re not always a coward. You’re great at standing up for yourself when your opponent is wounded, doesn’t have combat training, and is much smaller than yourself.” He carefully set down the mug on the floor and held up his hands in surrender. “I’ll stop throwing things.”

@loopylin

Rory

He caught the pencil, twisted it in his hand so he held it like a knife, and stepped forward, pushing Dante flat, the pencil poised over him. “Don’t do that again.”

@ellette-giselle

Dante 

Still lying on the couch, Dante blinked up at him in surprise. “Huh. Nice,” he said. On the counter next to him, there was a mug full of yellow pencils. He reached for it, stretching, but felt a sudden rip in his side. He flinched and gasped in pain, but then ignored it and grabbed the mug. He fished out one of the…[Read more]

Rory

he was on his feet before the cushion had left Dante’s hand and he snatched it out of the air, flinging it to the side and bringing his hands up, ready to attack.

@ellette-giselle

Dante

Dante nodded slowly. He paused a moment, then shifted around on the couch, looking for something. He selected a cushion, inspected it, and then tossed it at Rory’s face.

@loopylin

Rory

He nodded miserably. “Which is why you should get away from me.”

@ellette-giselle

Dante

“But hiding is pointless because they’re going to find you eventually, right?”

@loopylin

Rory

He paled a little. “I already disobeyed by talking to other students… that’s why I’m hiding.”

I’m not really sure why Dante is so mad lol

@ellette-giselle

XD

Dante

“How did you know the Agents weren’t the ones who tried to kill me? You could have been defying them. Did that thought ever once cross your mind?”

@loopylin

lol, this is so funny.

Rory

“Insult me…” Rory thought about that a moment, but it was too complicated to get into right now. He moved to the question Dante had asked. “I don’t know. I just did.”

@ellette-giselle

Dante

“I was trying to insult you.” Dante’s face was a mixture of confusion, annoyance, and disappointment. He sighed. “Why did you help me?”

@loopylin

Rory

He considered this. “I don’t think my brain is dead. No, I’m sure it’s not because then I would be dead too, and I know I’m not. I have never been ‘pushed over’ before… though I have been taken down in a few fights. And I wasn’t including you, I was speaking about the other first born.”

@ellette-giselle

Dante

“Absolutely brain-dead. Are you always this much of a pushover? And who’s we? Don’t include me in this.”
