August 13th, 2015 6:31 PMstarseed galaxy auticornEh... I'm kind of a boring person though. ^^ I guess I could give it a try, but hm... I don't really know how I would. I might end up turning her into a mary sue. :x It's something I'm sort of afraid of. *shrug* I've been suffering a bit of writer's block at the moment. I don't really know how to get rid of it. ><

I've done it myself before now - a dislike of being touched but giving a totally different reason for it. I just don't like people randomly touching me or being up close to my face, but I used my own reactions, exaggerated them and gave a totally different reason why the character didn't like it. Don't be afraid to do it, personal experience can be a great tool in building a character, adding more life =)

August 10th, 2015 3:31 AMstarseed galaxy auticornHm. I'll have to look into it. I want like... certain traits that make her seem odd. I'm trying to think of awkward or strange quirks that autistic people do as well. Like, I tend to eat most things with a spoon because it's easier than a fork... just some little things like that. I just don't want to use that example because I'm so afraid of making my character a mary sue. ><

August 9th, 2015 11:36 PMDelirious AbsolHmm that's a difficult one. Besides obsessions and academic skills I can't really think of anything. So I did a google search and found this website which lists a lot of things - here
You may have already seen it yourself, but I thought I'd share. It's quite detailed =) hopefully it helps! =D -
August 9th, 2015 8:25 PMstarseed galaxy auticornUgh. I'm having such a hard time with my autistic character. ;_____; I don't want her to just have issues with socializing. I can't seem to think of any other autistic traits for her.

August 8th, 2015 12:49 PMDelirious AbsolAwesome!! =D Jirachi is soooo cute! Yet for some reason, we never seem to find events for it over here =/ same with Mew. Either that, or I just miss them >.< I've got some pretty sweet stuff in wondertrade before now. My favourite is a shiny competitive Pawniard with a Lucky Egg that I raised into a Bisharp =3

July 31st, 2015 10:15 AMDelirious AbsolBeing like Alice... I get that lol. I'm often in my own little world. People get used to it when they've known me a while XD I totally would not make a good driver! I drift off into daydreams so easily I lose my attention. And I get lost while walking cos I miss the turning and have to back track lol
Yeh, Boris is adorable. He's probably my favourite character =3 I have a friend who is a bit like Ace. He has no sense of direction and often goes the wrong way. He calls them 'adventures' and says it adds more fun, he finds unique and unusual places that way. (The only problem is he can't find them again XD) -
July 31st, 2015 7:30 AMstarseed galaxy auticornI always think of us autistics to be kind of like Alice. A lot of us are often in our own little worlds and such, you know? I was actually on the verge of writing an Alice related story ages ago where the MC was the very great grandmother of the real Alice. She goes through these routines/rituals for The Red Queen, or the Red Queen would kill her if she failed. It was supposed to add a Schizophrenia/Autism kind of feel. The only problem is, I don't know a whole lot on Schizophrenia. :/ So, I scrapped the story instead.
And yeah... I have some. I love Boris. He's so adorable. <3 -
July 31st, 2015 12:25 AMDelirious AbsolA quick google search shows they sell custom Cheshire Cat ones on Etsy =) Alice in Wonderland is my favourite childhood story. It inspires some of my writing. I'm planning an upcoming novel - not fanfiction - about a world that's split into four districts each of which are named after card suits. I want to add a Wonderland feel to it, but right now it's still in the 'formulating in my brain' stage. I've not written anything down for it yet lol.
If you like anime and manga too, you should check out Pandora Hearts and Alice in the Country of Hearts. Both are strongly influenced by Alice in Wonderland and are AMAZING! =D -
July 30th, 2015 7:47 AMstarseed galaxy auticornOh yeah... whoops. I spelled it how I pronounced it. XD
Omg SO JEALOUS. D: I love Alice in Wonderland. Though, I wish they had Cheshire Cat ones. They probably do. XD -
July 30th, 2015 5:43 AMDelirious AbsolAww =) we were at a convention recently and there was this guy in an adorable fox fursuit in a cyberpunk outfit. He kept us entertained in the queue, which made time fly by since we were queuing for a while lol. I didn't get his photo though, and was too shy to ask for a hug =(
Did you mean 'hand-me-downs' rather than 'hammy-downs'?
I get the standing out thing. I used to get teased in school for still collecting Pokemon cards at 15 and having a Pikachu cyber pet. To this day I collect Pokemon cards (after a break, mind you. I've not collected them flat out for 15 years). I also dress rather oddly. Currently I'm wearing a Harley Quinn style hooded jacket complete with a jester hood lol. I get anxious wearing stuff like this outside in case people tease me, since I'm kinda familiar with it. But I just want to be myself =/ I like cosplay hoodies and I have a Stitch one and an Alice in Wonderland mad tea party jacket with bunny ears. And why not? I mean, they wouldn't be made to fit adult sizes if adults weren't meant to wear them!
She could have a small group of friends who have the same interests as her maybe? They could also provide support when she gets teased and stuff. Maybe one of them could be a comic relief character too. They're really fun to write, and could also help cheer her up =) -
July 27th, 2015 1:04 PMstarseed galaxy auticornMe too. That's why I love Baxter! When I'm at my anime convention, I'm always running up to the furries and asking them for hugs! I actually have a picture of me with two furries as well. <3
Anyway, I'm still having a hard time developing my autistic character for my story. All I've done so far is having her cover her ears to the alarm clock. Her mother sort of forced her to get one to make sure her daughter wakes up on time for school. In this story, the MC is kind of neglected a bit by her parents. She still gets the basic things like food, but she gets hammy-downs from her older sister. Basically, the parents are always telling the MC how she could be like her older sister or asking her why she's not like her... stuff like that. It's the whole point of her not being the 'lucky one' because she's struggling with not only disability... but with her parents learning to accept her for who she is.
So, that's why I want to put together certain things that make the character quirky. I don't want to just have her autistic. I want her to be different from others. I know autistic people often stand out more than non-autistic people do. I don't want to just do so with her attire, but I want her personality to be kind of odd and what not. I also want there to be a few quirks she has that might lead to her getting teased all of the time. You know, for being different and acting more strangely. -
July 27th, 2015 1:48 AMDelirious AbsolAww that's great!! =D I imagine he was in a fursuit? I love fursuits. They're so cute X3
