I need nothing in this life like I need Carly Rae Jepsen to cover Everytime We Touch
for the love of god if you’re writing deaf/mute characters and they’re using sign language to talk PLEASE use quotation marks, don’t do just italics or brackets or whatever other thing it is people do. sign language is STILL A LANGUAGE. just because it’s not spoken doesn’t mean it’s not real dialogue. if you’re writing someone speaking spanish, do you write their dialogue like ‘[the flower district is down south,] she said in spanish’ like NO!!! IT DOESN’T WORK LIKE THAT, USE QUOTATIONS MARKS AND JUST SAY THEY SIGNED.
just know that you can describe their facial expressions! or how flowy their hand movements are, if they move excitedly or animatedly when happy, if they’re slamming their hands and moving aggressively when angry, how their brows scrunch or how rigid their hands get, you can still be creative and describe what they’re conveying even though they’re not using a spoken language. watch videos of people signing! look at how beautifully expressive it is! it is a LANGUAGE, treat and write it like one. use quotation marks
its just something about the first time youre really in love
you had a DUTY, dear scientist.
you had a duty to understand, better than any other entity on the planet, longer than any other entity on the planet, me. you had a duty to document me and make sense of all that encompasses me. you had a duty to care for me alongside your other specimens with equity and compassion. you had a duty to run tests upon tests upon tests to see what i am made of. you had a duty to report the results of those tests, so that those who come after you can understand, too. you had a duty to bridge the gap between me and the universe, to discover me, to render me well and truly fathomable.
and yet, you have learned NOTHING.
Oh, to be a scientist so absorbed into their work that they are eventually destroyed by it
i was inspired by this post
also here’s the full cover art
look, I get that you’re pissed about being reanimated, but you could at least let me test your reflexes before you try to disappear into the night never to be seen again
black people legit are not being mean they tell non-black people not to wear passion twists, box braids, faux locs, and cornrows. they are warning you. your hair will literally get fucked up by these styles because they are not meant for your hair type. yall have so many other cute braided hair styles that work better for your hair such is french braids, dutch braids, and waterfall braids. do those instead.
(also passion twists, box braids, faux locs, and cornrows look a hot ass mess on non-black people)
but if you insist, wear these styles and see for yourself!
