whaley started the topic Writing Physical DisabilitiesAbnormalitiesHandicaps of Characters in the forum Characters 1 year, 5 months ago
So this is bouncing off @godlyfantasy12 ‘s topic concerning neurodivergence.
I am not really familiar with mental quirks (other than my own, and those of people I know), but I have a lot of experience with some physical handicaps.
One of my siblings is in a wheelchair. (Just referring to this sibling vaguely, for privacy reasons, I guess.) He…[Read more]

Oh yes, that’s 100% important to stay aware of. You are right. When I describe the world getting worse, I’m referring to mental illness, or the negative conditions that may fall under the neurodivergence umbrella. Not all neurodivergence 😉

Looking back on my post, I should have been more specific. I agree that we are more able to diagnose these things, and I also think that this world has become more likely to induce anxiety and depression.
There’s always been wickedness in the world, but this last week, I saw a lot of people who are ticking bombs…[Read more]

@seekjustice hmm curious viewpoint but I kinda view it as the opposite.
In earlier times people with ADHD/Autism or neurodivergence didn’t have many chances, and didn’t even understand what they were struggling with, and were often labeled as Possessed, lazy, broken, stupid, etc.
Yes those labels still exist in this day and age of course but…[Read more]

@seekjustice Ahhh, I have to disagree on “dragons and mermaids and all that stuff aren’t real.”
Many mythical creatures are real to some degree, and many are still alive today.
You just have to go looking hard for them…..and some of them aren’t what you think they are.
Take mermaids! They’re actually not humanoid at all. They’re big, gray,…[Read more]

Okay so I just have one gripe about the dragon argument. Couldn’t they just be based off of snakes? Because Snakes are long and dragon like, 🐍 🐉 see very similar.

Thanks for your comments! Although, and please forgive me for saying this, but your argument against it doesn’t really counter what I’ve said. He addresses this specifically, but the response I can give is what I already pointed out. Vampires and mermaids and countless other creatures of that sort are all based off of existing things…[Read more]

Don’t get me wrong here, you can believe in Calvinism if you want (it’s a variation, not a false gospel), but since this forum is about defending our beliefs, I’d like to give my reasons for not being a Calvinist.
1. If we must be chosen by God, and we cannot choose him (as you stated), why wouldn’t anyone in the Bible say so? The…[Read more]

@seekjustice YOU’RE HERE!!! 😀 Yeah I totally understand haha!
I’m not too bad. I’ve been focusing my energy on drawing and other things instead of writing over the past few years, although I do have an idea for a writing project that I just need to get over the writer’s block for haha. How’ve you been???
@euodia-vision Yeah, it’s a place to…[Read more]

I would like to bring this back once again. Good place to chat while you’re working on stuff. It’s supposed to help people be motivated to write if they know someone else is doing it with you while also chatting with you……. emphasis on *supposed to*, I’m notoriously bad at focusing when I’m talking to people haha, but I’ve always loved the…[Read more]

I also like Le Mis and the Hunchback of Notre Dame. I am really hoping I will be able to see the new Sweeney Todd revival but I haven’t booked any tickets or anything of that matter.

I never got tagged so I didn’t see your response, lol, sorry.
I’m learning quite a few languages! I’ve finished a course and I’m conversational in Hawaiian, I’m proficient in Australian Sign Language and I’m currently learning Scottish Gaelic and Romanian. In the future I’d love to learn Welsh and Māori. And no I haven’t done…

Huskies are so pretty! So are Aussie Shepherds 😍
Yes!! ☺️
That’s so cool you’re writing a dystopian novel too! I haven’t seen many YA dystopians written lately and there’s so much potential in that genre.
There totally is! (Though, it’s really hard not to fall into cliches if I don’t plot carefully. 😬) I wouldn’t say that mine’s a…[Read more]

I’m currently learning Hawaiian (though I finished my course, so I’m not actively learning anymore, just practising every now and then), Australian Sign Language, Scottish Gaelic and Romanian (I also love Eastern European languages!). I’d love to learn Welsh next.
Oh wow! That’s really neat. Is there a big difference between Austr…[Read more]

Also, looking back on that fourth question… I don’t remember what I was thinking. At all. So, just three questions. 😅🤣

Welcome back!
I am otherworldly Historian. I enjoy history, tabletop gaming, reading, and working on my WIP. I see you mentioned one of your WIPs as a dark fantasy. Personally dark fantasy is my favourite genre. My main WIP is also a dark fantasy (though it may technically be a sci-fi at this point because their tech level is close…[Read more]

I’ve been thinking about writing an article as well. I don’t know what topic you could do, but I’ve been told that it’s a good idea to do something that you’re passionate about and that you know well.
I asked @kathleenramm about writing an article a little while ago. She should be able to give you some pointers. I know that @seekjustice
