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.
And!
- “If you’re breaking dialogue up with an action tag”—she waves her hands back and forth—”the dashes go outside the quotation marks.”

Who makes the porn bots. Where do they come from. What do they hope to achieve.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
and what about you, little haiku bot? do you feel kinship with your brethren? do you understand them? they speak words of enticement and seek love, but are met with disdain. you only parrot the words that cross your screen, but we all love you. or rather, since all you do is reflect us, maybe we simply love ourselves through you.
do you understand them, do you wish you could speak to us like they do? if you found your own voice, would we still care for you?
My voice repeats what
you all say: I love you I
love you I love you.

This. This is the first time. The only time. That it was not an echo. It was not found. Oh god.

Imagine if fatui Scaramouche ever got to encounter Albedo
The parallel and contrast between them is insane—Albedo yearning for the very thing that happened to “ruin” Scaramouche’s life is *chefs kiss* (I also wanted to draw scaramouche letting everything out and crying and breaking down)

Being nice to someone you don't like is not manipulation btw it's being civil
you know those posts where you see them and you know it's just a glimpse of the iceberg of discourse that the post is truly about
We have to destroy tiktok

New people with empty accounts that are suddenly following me, I really need you to do something that looks like a human person. I've been here long enough now to remember the old wars, and you are coming into my home wearing the uniform of our enemies.
I am real close to just posting users in a callout if they fail the perception check.
How do I rig a Turing test so people have to prove they exist before they follow me. I am literally looking at your following lists to see if it's a coherent set so I can guess if you contain organs.
If you are new: We aren't trying to be assholes. We would love to be welcoming. I support your presence, and I don't mind if you use a hollow blog to follow from. and then you use side blogs to post. That's cool. You do you. But. Y'all. With all possible love: You are indistinguishable from the enemy right now, and we're used to showing no mercy.
Just add a note. Make your blog name 'stealthy follow blog' or 'im new' or 'i'm human stop blocking me' and put a picture of a random object. I don't need to know what you post about. But I am very worried you do not posses any bones, and you are hard failing on insight checks.
This.
Given all the BS that is going on right now...I think this is fair and reasonable. Not to be anti-AI, but honestly the only thing “no bones” about you should be the fact you’re having a “no bones day”...and if you are, have a basket of blanket-shaped hugs someone can gently drape over you.
Happy belated Tsukkiyama day. (11月12日) Art repost from like 2 years ago but forgot to post on here. (Late again but ehe)
