Saw this an immediately thought of Voice of Hero

Words to use instead of “said” organized by emotion/intention 2.0

Said is NOT a bad word. ~75% of the time, it’s all you need. But here’s some alternative when you really need to spice up that dialogue! 

Use sparingly for more impact - especially the more dramatic verbs.  Emotion and intent are complex! I tried to reduce redundancy as much as I could, but some words are simply going to be in multiple categories. i.e. “anger” and “loud” share a lot of words

This is a living document and will be updated whenever I think of new words.

Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

One side of an art trade I did with @minttea31 of their character : Snowflake. It was very fun to work with a design with different headcanon for the Icewings.

I have discovered and become obsessed with Slay the Princess. While I cannot draw humans, and so cannot draw the princesses, I am able to draw animals.

So here is my Smitten design !

just once I want to see a good post critiquing makeup culture that doesn’t turn out to be made by some janky radfem blog
