I want more characters who’s quirks haven’t been romanticized a gazillion times.
Oh shyboy#42728 sits alone at lunch with his sketch book? He’s a brilliant artist but he doesn’t talk to anyone? What a weirdo.
Imnotliketheothergirls#123567889 has a passion for reading unlike every other girl in her school?
Nah man. Let’s spice things up, i want more neurodivergent characters with wack (but healthy) coping methods. let’s normalize and romantisize the fact that some people are weird and this is not a bad thing.
I’m talking about that boy who talks to people he’s made up when he’s upset. He introduces each of them to the girl he likes and she thinks it’s cute.
There’s a girl that counts her steps and once she reaches 22 she can breath again. Her girlfriend walks with her.
They know ASL and sign the first letter of people’s words to deal with nerves. Their partner now knows how to sign their name.
When he thinks he might cry he looks for something blue to hold and/or chew on. His boyfriend gives him blue chew necklaces and they learned how to make blue food together.

Anyway, I’m doing nano!! I’m @ diwrite if you’d like to add me as a writing buddy! :D
Here’s my project is dumbasses in a sedan (working title), a new adult mystery w a mlm romance ! Below is a brief description:
Five days and 2,500 miles after his father’s disappearance, Cameron’s car breaks down. He’d been following a trail of clues and hasty assumptions that led him right to Bluehorn City, a crumbling ghost town in northwestern Arizona. But now he’s out of money, out of gas, and out of ideas, and the more he uncovers about his dad, the less sure he is of who the man was. Now, Cameron has to figure out what’s so special about Bluehorn. Maybe special isn’t quite the word for it; the town’s sitting on a secret, and at the center of it all is Andy, an auto mechanic with a chunk missing from his memory. Andy offers Cameron a deal: Cameron helps Andy solve his own mystery, and Andy fixes Cameron’s car for free. What else is there to do, with no car and no idea where to go next? Cameron accepts. Little do either of them know just what they’ll uncover.
as always, the plot/genre/everything is subject to change because I’m ~indecisive~, but I’m pretty happy with this so far !!!
We are sun and moon, we are sea and land,dear friend. It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is: each the other's opposite and complement Herman Hesse
