lathriel10. What are some really weird situations your characters have been in? Everything from serious canon scenes to meme questions counts!
Well, what do we define as weird? Weird as in attacked by a swarm of giant spiders with heads that look like babies but with mouths so full of long pointy teeth that they can't be closed? Or weird as in having an existential moment with your son who is probably the most powerful being in existence and is only 14 years old?
I had one character go into a trance during her piano recital and begin singing (and playing) a prophecy in another language that she had never heard.
I plan on having a character jump from a rock that juts out into Niagara Falls, because if her faith is strong enough the whirlpool at the bottom will act as a portal to the Underworld, where she needs to go in order to save her friend. And if it's not, well... she'll probably die. I think that's a weird situation to be in...
I recently wrote a horror short in which the whole premise is a weird situation- a man wakes up with no memory of who he is, and finds himself trapped in a house made of pages from a manuscript that seems to know his every move.
I hope those are considered "weird" enough for ya :)
