Okay I'm Locking These In Early I Know What's Gonna Happen I'm Calling It Now

Don’t be afraid, drop the link

The knights love and hate Merlin coming to training. They love it because Merlin is their little cheerleader and they seem to perform better when Merlin is there to cheer them on. They hate it because he never cheers Arthur on and Arthur gets jealous and shows off to catch Merlin’s attention which means that Arthur performs better when Merlin is there which makes him a demon on the field. Which means the knights have to visit Gaius after training to get new bruise salves and that one time when Percival had to get his broken nose set because he ducked too late when Arthur was swinging the hilt of his sword down because he was exhausted from how hard Arthur was pushing them

Initially I had no interest in watching the new Ghostbusters movies (Afterlife and Frozen Empire) as I was wondering how on earth they were going to work this in with kids.

**contains spoilers**

I watched Frozen Empire (FE) the other week and was immediately counting down the days till Afterlife came onto Netflix just so that I could see more of these characters. I’m a sucker for family dynamics and good family relationships and for me FE ticked all my boxes, especially with Gary Grooberson and his interactions with the family.

My main point of this post is Phoebe Spengler. Since the first moment she was on screen I was glued to it. She’s quite androgynous in appearance to me and I’ve been finding myself wanting more of that represented in media these days.

I like all the characters but Phoebe really stuck with me. Just look at her:

(Don’t get me wrong, I love Trevor too, but Phoebe is just 🤌)

These two movies had a good family dynamic with siblings portrayed in a way that didn’t make me cringe, an adult being very mindful of the developing family relationships he’s building AND a neurodivergent young teen who’s androgynous in appearance? That and I’m 90% certain Phoebe had a crush on Melody in FE.

I neeeeeed to devour movie analysis and fanfictions on these films and Phoebe.

I am beginning to feel concerned about how much more attractive I find Steve Harrington while he's distressed or injured. That's not a good sign right?

I LOVE IT

Man, this is something I’ve been wanting to draw for YEARS. Here are the first four pages of Of Giants and Ice, my artistic interpretation of a great work of Shelby Bach’s.

Hey, you know that one character? The one played by the tall, long-haired actor? The one who was pre-law in 2005, and well on his way to going to law school and getting a degree until an unexpected family issue reared its head, and he dropped out and chose a different career path? Y’know, he’s got that complicated relationship with his father, a parent-child relationship with his only sibling, and has some strange, destructive abilities that tie in with multiple traumatic experiences with fire?

Saw this gifset before watching the movie and this did not prepare me for the actual scene. THE CONCERN I wish I had the capability to write a fic about this

Vegans of tumblr, listen up. Harvesting agave in the quantities required so you dont have to eat honey is killing mexican long-nosed bats. They feed off the nectar and pollinate the plants. They need the agave. You want to help the environment? Go back to honey. Your liver and thyroid will thank you, as well. Agave is 90% fructose, which can cause a host of issues. Bye.

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.”
