I LOVE IT

Man, this is something I’ve been wanting to draw for YEARS. Here are the first four pages of Of Giants and Ice, my artistic interpretation of a great work of Shelby Bach’s.

There was something so sweet about season 1 episode 13, how Hawkeye softened up and genuinely wanted to help Edwina

my watery friend... are you too brushed with the pattern of the dappled light...?

but what if a vampire drank the blood of someone who was anemic like would they be seriously grossed out

“what the fuck is this”

“i have anemia”

“can you take something for that you should probably take something for that this shit is nasty to drink let alone have running through your body i’m setting up a doctor’s appointment for you”

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.”

Vegans of tumblr, listen up. Harvesting agave in the quantities required so you dont have to eat honey is killing mexican long-nosed bats. They feed off the nectar and pollinate the plants. They need the agave. You want to help the environment? Go back to honey. Your liver and thyroid will thank you, as well. Agave is 90% fructose, which can cause a host of issues. Bye.

I keep seeing a post going around along the lines of “If you have PCOS or your body hair is so long as to be physically uncomfortable, it’s OK to trim it”; and while this is obviously true as far as it goes, I would like to go much, much further? And say actually, you can do whatever the fuck you want to with your body hair?? Because it is YOUR hair, on YOUR body???

I realize that practicalities may interfere with dreams here, but morally speaking: you don’t owe hairlessness to the corporate patriarchy and you don’t owe hairiness to feminism. You don’t owe it to your employer to relax your curls or cover your grays, and you don’t owe it to your conservative auntie to refrain from a neon-green and hot-pink Manic Panic dye job. If you want to spend hours grooming your long luxuriant bottle-blonde mermaid hair, or shave your head or your entire body every morning, or put 112 rainbow ribbons in your full beard, or dye your pits in tiger stripes, or tweeze an anarchy symbol into your arm hair, or get pube extensions so you can wear it in elaborate braids like a dwarf, all that is totally your prerogative and you do not owe an explanation to anyone, actually! You are not required to get a note from your doctor testifying that you have experienced hair-related suffering in order to justify your grooming habits! What the hell! Leave other people alone about their fuckin hair, and expect them to do the same for you!
