Does anyone have cool haunted house ideas? I'm putting one together

cardboard boxes are the best for everything, and hot glue guns, other than being good for putting projects together, make very good hotglue strings for spiderwebs.

Ooo, thanks!

your welcome, I've done a lot of crafting in my day B)

It's an in-person haunted house, and I doubt you live in the same city as us…

Place things very precariously so they fall while the people are going through, put things in the way and make it rlly dark in some places; also fake bugs (particularly spiders and scorpions) can look surprisingly real in the right light. so
also squishy stuff to step on, maybe somebrittle sticks (like bones). I'm under the assumption that it's taking place in dim light so. if they're very clearly sticks maybe paint them white? it's alr if they're not pure white because rotting bones are obviously not pure white.
also candles could be fun. out of the way obviously cuz fire
idk just spitballing

sobbing because I physically cannot keep my fic's series-wide plot consistent

first there were four factions
then five
then back to four because writing five seemed intimidating
what if I made the love interest an MC?
new prophecy to fit that
what if I made a love triangle for the protags
WHAT IF I MADE A LOVE TRIANGE FOR THE ANTAGS
new prophecy because the old one sounds cheesy
changed my mind back to five factions
WHAT IF THE PROTAG LOVE TRIANGLE TURNED INTO A LOVE RAVINE WHERE NO CHARACTER GETS A SATISFYING ENDING AND EVERYONE JUST ENDS UP MAD
no that's a bad idea
WHAT IF THE ANTAG LOVE TRIANGLE TURNED INTO A LOVE RA

I can do excerpts and stuff, but ask me to write, like, a whole chapter, and my brain goes out the window-

saaaammme. the document I posted here is going to be random chunks of my story, possibly out of chronological order. but its writing my story and if it works then im happy with that.

XD That is a great question.
what's your particular flavor of neurospicy?
Mine is Crack Brain, or ADHD, so when I write neurotypicals, it's influenced by that.
your flavor will dictate the things you have to overemphasize in your writing to achieve neuro-mayonnaise

I would please like a definition of 'neuro-mayonaise'

im ADHD, and all i know about neurotypicals is; they think slowly and i confuse them (and it's mutual)

XD That's about right.
out of curiosity, why do you ask? I assume youre writing one?

i want my adhd character to stand out more and main character doesn't have adhd. i honestly just have no idea how neurotypicals function without constantly moving around, knowing what time it is naturally (wtf is that???) or having a "normal" thought process

Somehow, they control their brain, while we fight our brains for dominance.

Y'know, thats a really good description of it

Honestly this is the best brief explanation I've ever seen of neurodivergency.

If I'm being real I don't think about the neuro whatevers of my characters but I think there are definitely some that embody ADHD. they stand out from the others because the others have more streamlined dialogue, thought and action. Meanwhile those (us, it appears) who are affected by ADHD go back and forth, are indecisive, confusing and/or impulsive in what we say and do.

Just the opposite of neurospicy

no thats neurobasic
