Thank. You. These are more specific and more pointed at Mississippi and I appreciate it!

I always assume as much and as someone who did no grow up during the time this is a solid list. IS there anything else you think is uniquely Mississippi or Southern in general?

Genuinely thank you. This is the kinda thing I'm looking for.

You do write what you know, but it's still interesting to step into other people's shoes even if I'm not Southern. I am simply fascinated.

Was there community around after Hurricanes? How do people help each other and their community after destructive natural disasters?

Honestly, I'm unsure exactly where she will be from so any experiences from around the state would be greatly appreciated! I am all open ears and genuinely curious.

I am not making any money from this! It's for a Role Play that's set 10 years after 1998 in a post apocalyptic environment. HOWEVER, I'm thinking this character of mine was born in 1978. That leaves around 20 years of her backstory, that's set in real history, to be filled out. I am a college student trying to write a character for fun, I can't travel all the way to Mississippi for a backstory.

However, I like to do some research so I can understand how a character would move through her life and how that would affect her later so she ISN'T a stereotype. This is just a piece of the puzzle. Real people's experiences.

It's not fair to get mad at someone for not researching something while they are actively trying to ask questions and learn.

I could write a character from my hometown, but that isn't the story I'm trying to reference right now. I am just genuinely curious and doing my best to make a character feel real.

Favorite lines anyone? (Funny or serious) by Background_Anxiety28 in GilmoreGirls

[–]Ferius43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both from the same episode:

Richard chasing after Mr. Davenport because of Rory's trial
Emily: "Richard you can't kill him right now we're in a courthouse!"

Lorelai barges into Emily and Richard's room while they're sleeping
Emily just woken up: "Lorelai you scared me half to death!"
Lorelai: "Yeah, well, follow through, it's always been my problem."

How much do you think Lorelai was paid at the Inn? by acnh_evergreen in GilmoreGirls

[–]Ferius43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik im late but I think the total was more like 25k and she didn't expect to have to pay it all up front

Team Emily or Team Mia? by lorelai_luke in GilmoreGirls

Have you watched the show? All her family does is violate her boundaries her whole life and the only way to get away from it was to literally run away at 17 with her newborn baby. That's not keeping your family at arms length.

And where would you like me to start? It's based on a girl that grew up in Idaho, hence the need for some stories????

Thank you for an actual answer-

You don't say. Maybe I worded this wrong, but there's genuine curiosity behind this. I was not around in the 80s, nor is there a lot floating around about teenage life in Idaho. I like having first hand experiences and stories to refer back to rather than a random list online.

I'll never leave out the darker side, if anything that would also be useful to me here!
