I want to say about 8 years ago now, I was stuck writing through a section of a story I was working on where the main character was treated as crazy when he was actually seeing an evil entity.
And one of my closest friends to this day suggested I randomly throw in a purple llama.

What's the strangest thing that's inspired something you've written? A flower inspiring a character? A food inspiring a scene? Etc. #WritingPrompt

So... one of my characters, Cryognellia, has the weirdly overpowered ability, and the inspiration is even stranger.
She has honey-kinesis. Basically able to perform hydrokinesis but with honey instead. That combined with her Insectopathy...

This giant needle I found in my grandma’s sewing box! I know probably leather workers are familiar with that size but to me, who had only ever seen sewing needles, I was like 😲
And then it ended up inspiring like 50% of the magic system in my book + several plot points & a tragic backstory

Exterior setting descriptions. I miss them a lot. Town and street stuff.
And clothes, actually. It's fun detailing how people are dressed, it's good for characterization, but I don't use it as much as I should.

I tend to just launch into scenes at a point that isn’t optimal for describing the surroundings and I have to go back and figure out how to work that in. It’s not the best approach from that perspective.

Accidently slipping into another character's POV. That level of revising is a sneaky joy.

i'm sooo bad with describing scent and sounds usually. when i picture a scene in my head it's through a very visual and cinematic lens

I forget people have facial hair. Characters show up in my head with all kinds of other variety baked in but not a one has had facial hair. Going to try to consciously fix that 😅

I forget that I frequently do this thing where I put down every gesture I can possibly think of, and always need to do an edit pass before revisions where I go back and "pick one" because not all stage directions are important, actually

I'm pretty bad with names, so I need to use them for a while before they're committed to memory. This goes extra for side characters who haven't shown up in a while, especially during their second appearance.

Sasza's hybrid vampire condition might qualify as a disorder, he knows how to manage it but as the series goes on, he loses control over it and quickly

I used to have an illness in Runner Owen that, if survived, left the victim allergic to magic.
It's a bit complex to explain here in full, but it wasn't a mild allergy either. Full on throat closing, unable to breathe, 'you will die if you don't get away now' stuff.
I'll try it again someday.

The Beyond has a habit of twisting people's bodies into strange shapes, but whether this presentation is the illness itself or a symptom of something larger depends on who you ask. Where does the disease end? Where do you begin? That's a question each character has to answer.
