Writing Tips
Punctuating Dialogue
✧
➸ “This is a sentence.”
➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.
➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”
➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”
➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”
➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”
➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.
“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.
“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”
➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”
➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”
However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!
➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.
If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)
➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“
“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.
➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.
➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”
➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.
“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”
➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.
“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”
These are prompt 1-100. (I also screwed up the numbering somewhere soo... things may or may not be out of line."

Fuck ai.
Don't give up on your art. It's main goal to stop you from creating media and use it to replace it.
Don't stop writing fanfics. Don't stop making fanart. Be cringe. And use stuff like Nightshade or the possible new models to protect fanfics and hope it poisons the model. Or write cringey nsfw fics of mpreg and crazy ass smut, and watch the ai burn itself to the ground from it.
Just don't give up on art. The ai bros and the model itself relies on YOU. They're NOTHING AND WILL BE NOTHING WITHOUT YOU!!!
So I usually make content using pre-existing media, but I've always wanted to do something original. Wholly my own. So here's that.
Early in the 1980’s people were being born with completely different structural heads than normal. Late into it was it found to be a sudden neurological connection to the 4th dimension, causing a literal and physical mental imbalance.
Those affected believed it should be removed, so they were meant to be Nullified, but instead this stuck as the term for those born with it.
Once the panic had calmed down, society began to pick itself back up by the late 1990’s.
The mass of the older generation, who have not gotten this neurological change, have indifference or even hatred to those Nullified.
Those who had this neurological connection resulted in their head, or body, having completely different properties to that of someone without it.
Because the connection is based in time, every person with it doesn’t have the same look or effect. No two people will ever have exactly tge same results.
Despite how they look, Nullfied can still function like a normal human, not withstanding any mental or physical disabilities formed from birth (which were wrongly accused to be more common in Nullfied as a way to see them lesser. There is no factual evidence that being Null is naturally flawed).
Some who become Null may even have the ability to do things once seen as impossible, akin to comic book superhero’s.
Since the variety would make it impossible to narrow down powers that are or aren’t harmful, Null who can do this are under government watchlists (unbeknownst to the Nullfied).
Otherwise, court of law judges Null’s powers in their own sanctum, so mental or physical assault with these abilities are classified as such.
======================== So what does this mean?
Think My Hero quirks but it's casual instead of Hero Vs Villian shit.
+ Meta-Morphing shape for a head
+ Emotions are very much on his sleeve
+ jack of all arts, master of none
+ Hard time with friends
+ ADHD like mad
+ Whole eye for a head
+ Doesn’t really have an idea for what she wanna do for a life
+ Knows most of the other nulls in the small town, but most prominently…
+ An asshole
+ Whole body minus the center is skeleton
+ Feels like his life is already done
+ Gas Station worker
+ Smokes a lot; doesn’t feel it cause it can’t reach his lungs
This thing will either be a comic, written book, or, what i'd most prefer...
A visual novel! Thanks for reading if you have :) I'm not sure if this will go anywhere but I still wanna put it out there for me myself and I

Fun fact! His original name was "The Giver" but that was for a completely different story idea (He was the main char) It was the first name I gave him, though
