Some Idiot: "Why Are You Reading Your Own Fic, That's Shallow And Stupid"

Hello. How are you ? I'm marriane what's your name and where are you from ?

Hi, I'm alright, I'm from America, and my name's Luke. 👍

Everyone always talks about imagining scenes and not being able to write them, but have you ever had the opposite happen? Cause it's literally me 24/7.

I'll be in the mood to write, having a general idea of what I want, and I can't stop writing, but I also can't keep thinking of things. The last time this happened, I didn't stop for 2 whole days, didn't sleep. Wrote while writing, wrote while crying, literally all day, but I just kept rewriting cause I physically couldn't think of other scenes.

I NEED trans Severitus fics rn. Think about it.

The whole pantsing thing has a whole new meaning. Nicknames like Snivellous, which imply that Severus is less of a man, makes way more sense. It's the 60's, so bullying makes sense. Greasy hair? Yeah, he doesn't want to shower and look at himself.

Matter of fact, make Harry trans too. Severitus.

Harry gets found out to be Harriet, which leads to teasing. Maybe they all just kinda thought the boy who lived was just an androgenous baby? Doesn't matter. Someone cuts up all of Harry's 'boy' clothes. Bad hairstyles? Yup, that's just Harry. Ron asking if Harry is really the girl who lived, and Harry just lies and says that he's not the girl who lived, he's the boy who lived. Finding out his dad bullied Sev for being trans? GUESS WHAT!?

Anyways, let them bond over dysphoria and stuff, Severus gives him pointers, like, don't bind with bandages, bind with sports bras or stuff, hairstyle stuff, dysphoria stuff, etc.

I NEED IT, I'M GONNA EAT IT OM NOM NOM.

Severus is a like an overprotective girl dad to Harry and I will die on this hill.

Harry: Dad, this is my girlfriend!

Awkward silence ensues.

Snape, looking the girl up and down: What are your intentions with my son?

Girl: Isn't this supposed to be reversed—

Snape: My house, my rules.

Harry: Seriously! She's fine—

Snape: I wasn't taking opinions, now, what are your intentions—

Cut to a very brutal interrogation scene.

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.”

“what’s your writing process” i put a pathetic guy in a blender and blend blend blend

If I make a joke about my home life, your reaction should not be "Oh my gosh, so sorry! Reach out, get better!" Your reaction should be "Oh my gosh, could never be me. Lol, skill issue, tbh."

Whumpish trope thing

Whumpee just went through something terrible and doesn't want to let go of caretaker, literally cannot stand to be outside of their embrace since they were rescued. For some reason (you decide) they need to be taken away or out of their arms. Whumpee is screaming, sobbing, maybe even ripping out their hair or acting utterly hysterical, doing anything to get back to them, because that's their safety.

Caretaker is trying to calm Whumpee down, trying to get them to understand that they need to go or need to let go, but they can't.

The best example I have of this is in Infinity war when Peter is begging not to go, clinging onto Tony.
