Yk, It Doesn't Seem Like Anyone Is Leaving Reviews About Disliking The Assistants. If The Smaller Browsers

Wait percentages for preference is so smart. Neither person has to actually choose, it's just whatever someone is more opinionated about.

I hate when people ask me about my preference but I don’t understand their preference level. Like yes I kinda want Chinese food 10% more than I want a sandwich but if you want a sandwich like 40% more than Chinese food then I would say it’s totally reasonable we get sandwiches.

Oh no

Im so close to blocking people who don't mark spoilers. Bottom of the barrel people right there. Especially when movies are still in theaters or just came out on a streaming site OR hasn't even came out yet. Y'all know who you are.

I have to say, this Stranger Things theme Tumblr has going on rn is kinda a vibe.

Like damn I have no clue if I'm too clingy and it bothers me so much. I don't even understand why the idea of clingy is bad. Like if someone is clingy to you, they wanna be around you and they love you. Why is that bad? You are coveted. All the clingy person wants is to know you are there or you love them. They want to talk with you and hang out because they love being with you and love knowing you are there. Like I get not liking it if its a jealous clingy that causes your partner to not wanna hang out with your friends or divert so much attention to them that you begin to have issues with school, work, or self care but like. . . Clingy in the sense of the partner wants to be around you within set boundaries? Why is that bad?

this made me laugh so much lmaoo @starrykibber sorry i'll leave the leash next time, he's a little rabid </3

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.”

I forgot you have a physical form. Dope shirt tho.

Olive Garden Dining Event

When I was younger, I hated my southern (USA) accent. I hated it because I was told that I sounded ignorant and because most people outside of Western movies didn't have thick southern accents and so it seemed like the people who said that the accent sounded uneducated or ignorant were correct. I began to cover it up to seem more "normal", and even got to a point where I would have to try to put the accent on if I wanted to have the southern sound. As I got older I realized that what people were saying was stupid and have felt stupid for wanting to change that part of me. Something worthy of note is that I will instinctively thicken my accent whenever comforting someone, getting angry, or talking to certain people. Upon further examination, so do most people who grew up in the South. I was curious as to why that was and decided to ask Google. The second that I began to search, I was met once again with "why do southern accents sound uneducated" and flat out "why do southern accents sound stupid". It's kind of sad for me to see people still do this to an accent that is so pretty and know that kids still will have to go through what I have.
