    At least it didn’t suggest “a pickup truck,” which would mean your phone thinks you use people. No, it sounds like your phone think’s you’re a nice guy and wants you to be happy.

    Yay! Happy Birthday to @DemonGoddess – it probably is belated in my time zone, so a very merry un-birthday.

    Hey, I’ve been writing the underserved Loli archetype since before it was cool.

    The complaint wasn’t that characters could be broken down to the archtypes, it was that they were not expanded beyond them – poor characterisation and one note archtypes rather than complex mulitfacted human seeming folks. Or so I followed it anyhow. I figure if all my characters are one-note and poorly characterised no matter the gender (or non binary!) than at least I’ve got the balance…

    I agree that just writing the archetypes makes for poor characterization, but personally I think you’ve done a good enough job, at least when it comes to Kizzy, Shannon and the gang, that they exist as more than just the archetypes.  Heck, while the Hecate Sisters are the best fit (Shannon is the Maiden, Kizzy is the Mother and Lupa is the Crone) Kate doesn’t even have an archetype she lines up with.

    That’s one set of archetypes, known as the Hecate Sisters.  Another common set is the Three Faces of Eve, those being the Wife, the Seductress and the Child.  this is probably the closest to the Mother, Whore and Virgin JayDee was talking about.  There is also a male version of the Hecate Sisters, the Three Faces of Adam (the Hunter, the Lord and the Prophet).

    A weird complaint.
    I mean if you really want to get into the fine details. All-female characters can be broken down into the triple goddess. Maiden, Mother and Crone if only because of the natural lifecycle of women is one of those three.
