STOP DOING THIS IN INJURY FICS!!

What can I say? I love princesses <3

Moar lore, moar lore!

Today's D&D game with @thestarfishface and pals was a lot of lore dumping - which is great but I worry it can be a little boring. Or at least, I would worry more if all my players didn't consistently spend hours of play gathering the little lore puzzle pieces so they could take two or three sessions making intelligence checks to get ALL THE LORE AT ONCE.

I love these nerds.

Got my mail club today from @thestarfishface. Had to rearrange a bit, but enjoy the children!

Apparently a lot of people get dialogue punctuation wrong despite having an otherwise solid grasp of grammar, possibly because they’re used to writing essays rather than prose. I don’t wanna be the asshole who complains about writing errors and then doesn’t offer to help, so here are the basics summarized as simply as I could manage on my phone (“dialogue tag” just refers to phrases like “he said,” “she whispered,” “they asked”):

“For most dialogue, use a comma after the sentence and don’t capitalize the next word after the quotation mark,” she said.

“But what if you’re using a question mark rather than a period?” they asked.

“When using a dialogue tag, you never capitalize the word after the quotation mark unless it’s a proper noun!” she snapped.

“When breaking up a single sentence with a dialogue tag,” she said, “use commas.”

“This is a single sentence,” she said. “Now, this is a second stand-alone sentence, so there’s no comma after ‘she said.’”

“There’s no dialogue tag after this sentence, so end it with a period rather than a comma.” She frowned, suddenly concerned that the entire post was as unasked for as it was sanctimonious.

You've been dead. Interesting. Yet it seems your programming has held up.

Finally finished this drawing of a scene from our D&D game in which the terrifying archfey that half the party is secretly (even from themselves) in service to shows up. Pictured here: Grandmother (aforementioned archfey) and Dagger (my character, undead sorcerer).

Holy wow, this is gorgeous!!

You're going to die.

Are you scared?

Good.

Now save yourself.

I got waaaay carried away with the lighting and glowing and junk and I'm still not even super happy with it lmao but I gotta stop eventually

Apparently didn't post this over here so here we go!

Boosting a BlueSky post from earlier this month, got some big bills to pay off, including groceries and therapy, primarily my ADHD assessment (diagnosis now confirmed!). Any support is, and always will be, appreciated, as long as it doesn't hurt you. Reblogs and likes are also appreciated because more eyes! Thanks friends! 💜💜💜
