thinking about newly dating kidlaw where law is tentative with physical affection at first but after the first few times kid loops an arm around him during movie nights or presses an embarrassed, too-hard kiss to his cheek before leaving for work, law deems it safe to get bold.

he starts craning up for a peck when kid drops his lunch off, stuffs a hand into kid’s back pocket to firmly grip his assets when he walks kid back home from work, even starts nuzzling him and brushing past him without any other word or acknowledgment— like a cat. on one night, two minutes into a lame action movie, law plops himself down into kid’s lap instead of the well-loved couch cushion next to him.

the sudden, violent weight makes kid jolt, landing a little too close to… precious things. he grabs for law, trying to shove him aside so he can reposition and ease his weight away with a “what the fuck,” but law simply fights back, twisting around to push him.

and they wrestle like that for a bit, nipping at each other and snarling and grunting without any real bite. a hand shoving at kid’s shoulder, elbow jabbing into law’s side, tumbling pillows, spilled popcorn. eventually they wind up lying down, law flat on kid’s chest.

“be careful,” kid grumbles lowly, narrowing his eyes at him. his mussed black hair and disheveled clothes are too attractive, but kid’s too appalled to say anything. “since when were you this fucking annoying?”

law simply levels him with an unimpressed yet overwhelmingly fond look. “when have we ever been careful with each other?”

and kid can’t help but bark out a laugh, smothering an exasperated grin into the crook of law’s neck as he roots him to his body by the waist.

Welcome to this tournament blog for symphonic metal and power metal songs!

We will hold a tournament to find the best out of 32 songs per artist in this genre, up until we've had 32 artists, and then we put all the best songs against each other in a grand finale tournament!

To pick the band we'll start with, you get to pick one out of some of my personal faves. The band with the most votes is the one we'll start with. After the first tournament is finished, I'll open submissions for the next artist.

When we've chosen a band, I'll open submissions for your favorite songs. I hope to see you there!

Btw, no gatekeeping the genre(s) please.

Good news: if you’re currently laying around and not producing anything, you are a credit to your species.

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.”
